Chapter 1: The Light.
Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! My name is Light! I am a student from a town called Pallet Town in the Kanto region. The same Town as some of my greatest heroes This world is inhabited by creatures called Pokémon! For some people, Pokémon are pets. Other use them for fights. I am a 9-year-old studying to become a Pokémon Trainer in the future. After many years of trainers coming and going many of the greatest heroes of the world including the great "Red", who comes from the same town as I, created the Interregional Pokémon Academy Association. He and other heroes started opening schools all over the world whose propose were to teach young, promising, future trainers the values of being a Pokémon Trainer, and in the center of it all, The Rainbow Gem Pokémon Academy; directed by Pokémon Master Red, it is a school any trainer that wishes to become big has to go, it is said that many other Pokémon Masters are teachers there: Champions, heroes, professors. It is an amazing school and I wish to go there when I grow big… for now I am getting late for school so I better get ready and going.
Pallet Town has surely grown beautiful in the last couple of years. We are often considered a town of great trainers, and our school makes sure to keep up those appearances. It is directed by Professor Oak, many of the teachers were great trainers once upon a time.
I know pretty well all the people who live here, ever since my father passed everyone has taken good care of my mom, my brother and me. They even made a big congratulations party for when my brother got his first Pokémon.
As for my family itself… My father left us when I was 2, my brother tells me he had to go because he saved the town from some really bad guys who wanted to use their Pokémon for bad stuff. My mom is kind and caring, she always is sure that me and my brother are in good shape, she is one of the local nurses so people usually come over to have their Pokémon healed, she works with a prodigious Nurse that came from Viridian City and has an amazing ability, her name is Yellow, though I usually call her sis, I blame my brother, mom says she lives with an amazing trainer, but that he is often busy with other stuff… my brother says he is a government assassin, but I am sure she wouldn't go out with such a man, rumors in school say that he is a Gym leader, but mom always says that he is a member of the Elite Four in a different region… she refuses to actually tell us, she usually says things like "the mystery is part of the charm". And then there's my brother: the most awesome, the strongest, bravest, smartest man I know, he is 6 years older than me and has already gone out on his adventure, but for the most part of my life he took care of me, seeing as mom was usually busy helping out the Pokémon, he taught me a lot about the world, the Pokémon, life and what being a trainer was about. He calls every now-and-again to ask about us. I want to become like him once I grow up, though Pallet Town has seen its lot of heroes like the three legendary trainers: Red, Blue and Green, none are greater to me than my brother.
Anyways school is up front, a huge building it has everything, even a place for us to play with Pokémon of the Professor. It has a good share of classrooms, almost all the kids in Pallet Town go there to study, I've even met people who come from Viridian to study, like my best friend: Dark, he is always dropped off by a Charizard, early in the morning. He is a really strong kid, he has many strategies for training, he is able to find strength in any Pokémon. My other best friend is Dawn, she wasn't born here in Kanto, her parents are from Sinnoh, they once got saved from a terrorist attack by the heroine Dawn, she is called after her. She is a really smart girl, and cute too, one time me, her and Dark stayed up all night watching a Pokémon battle tournament and she was able to find all the weak points on the participant's strategies. I can see them now they are at the entrance. I better go fast. I can hear them yelling at me.
-Hey wise guy come one quick, you are going to be left out, again- That is Dark, he is really pale, his parents told us he is sick, he has an allergy to sun or something like that, so he is always covered, even if it's really hot, weirdly enough I've never seen him sweat. He calls me wise guy after I once told him that white in German was "weisz" and that light was white so he should call me that, but he then told me that was dumb so he started calling me wise guy as a way to laugh at me, it doesn't bother me really.
-Come one Light, it's getting late- And that'd be Dawn, she is a really cute girl, she is also very caring, one time I got sick she came to visit every day, she would bring me homework and then stayed until I had to sleep, her parents are assistants in the professor's lab so they aren't around so much, thus Dawn is more time with us. Sometimes her parents can't come home for days so she has to stay alone, thankfully aunty Green takes care of her seeing as they are neighbors.
-I know, sorry- I managed to arrive on time… thankfully, I wouldn't like missing class today. As we are 9-year old we are going to get an introduction to Pokémon, at the end of the week some of the GO initiative leaders are going to come to draft us in their teams, this is done so trainers have a place to go. Anyways, today some Gym leaders are going to come and tell us about trainers, even some Ex-Members of the Elite Four are coming. I won't lie, I am excited.
