"Dear Journal.."
A boy of about 17 sat a desk alone in a dim lit room. He had a small black book open in front of him and was scribbling madly on it, stopping occasionally to think.
"It's me again.. and it's been a harsh day. I've been here at the Gym League Association for five days now, and let me tell you, it's not the most pleasant place.." he stopped to look out the window above his desk. "Especially when you're auditioning to be a gym leader.."
"I'm beat.. we had to take the Basic Pokemon Knowledge Test today. I think I did okay.. the only part I was stumped on was when we were asked to name all 24 gym leaders - Kanto, Hoenn, Johto.. I got up to 22 when I completely forgot the level seven leader in Hoenn. From there I forgot level eight, too.."
"We're all auditioning for a spot on the newest league.. opening next month. It's on an archipelago up north off of Hoenn. Typhoon Islands, I think they're called. I just hope I get it.. it would be truly awesome.."
"Well that's it for today. I'm going to bed.. it's a big day tomorrow. I'll write soon.."
"Signed, Jessie Harris"
He closed the small book, stood up and climbed into his small bed. He could only hope..

"Hi, mom? It's Brisen! What's up?"
A girl with shoulder length green hair was sitting up in her bed, holding a receiver to her mouth.
"Yeah.. we just got released to go to bed. We find out tomorrow.. do I think I'll make it? I'm a little worried.."
She was leafing through a small pamphlet as she talked.
"Oh, yeah.. the Typhoon Islands have the same species of pokemon living there as are in Hoenn. No new ones.. sadly. I'm wondering what the atmosphere is like.."
The pamphlet was titled, 'So, you want to be a gym leader..", and as the girl flipped through she found some information that sparked her interest.
"Wow! Mom.. guess what? If I make it, I get to design my own badge.. I wonder what it would look like.."
For awhile longer the girl talked on the phone, and as she hung it up she sighed and turned off the light. If she could make it.. her dreams would come true..

Twelve trainers stood on the front patio of the Gym League Association. Among them were a tall curly haired boy named Jessie and a smaller green haired girl named Brisen. All held their breath as a women walked out the front sliding doors with a piece of paper in her hand.
"I have with me the results," she said, holding up the paper. "And if you all would find a seat in the courtyard I will read you them."
All twelve trainers made their way through a gate and into a small stone garden. There, twelve seats were arranged in a semi circle all facing a podium, at which the woman stood.
"I announce, with pleasure, the list of gym leaders for the Typhoon Island League," she said.
"At level one we have Ray! Type: electric!" The woman clapped and handed a blonde haired man a piece of orange paper.
"At level two we have Amara! Type: poison!" Again the woman clapped, handing a girl with purple hair one of the orange papers. She went on through level three, four, five, six, and seven. Brisen and Jessie were holding their breath as she read off the last name.
"And finally, at level eight, we have decided upon a Ms. Bresin Donovan!"
Bresin's mouth fell open as she walked up to the podium, shaking. She grabbed the orange paper and sat back down. How did this happen? She was amazed..
"Now, all four of you who haven't become a gym leader," the woman nodded at Jessie. "I have an even greater honor to give you. You all will be the Typhoon Island Elite Four."
It was Jessie's turn to gawk. He fell backwards off his chair and smashed into the stone ground.
"What? How.." he said.
"That's right, Mr. Harris. You and the other three chosen have showed exemplary power in your actions and your pokemon. I am proud to give you the title of Elite Four member.."
Jessie stood up and sat back down, in a state of awe. Why was he, normal old Jessie, chosen? It was something he had wished to do as a kid.. and now..
"Now. All twelve of you will begin in two months. You will receive a seminar from the GLA via TV phone in one month. At that time you will send us your badge design and request for what your gym should look like. Until then, you are free to go where you wish." The lady stepped off the podium and walked out of the courtyard.
Jessie and Bresin looked at each other from where they were sitting.
"Awesome!" mouthed Bresin to Jessie.
"You too!" whispered Jessie.
They were going to a new league.. where new trainers and new adventures were sure to be waiting.

That was a short chapter.. REALLY short.. but oh well. There wasn't much else to say. I'd like to take this time to thank MyStIcSaIyAn45 (sp..?) and Lizard Breath. They have sent me characters that are currently in use (yay) and are both really nice about it. Lizard Breath gave me Bresin, who is in this chapter and will develop in following chapters. MyStIcSaIyAn45 gave me Rilee.. who will also continue to journey with Dom for chapters to come. I am still accepting more character ideas! I just wanted to take up this space and say all that thank you stuff.. WAHOO
