Ϗai is a boy from the Orre region. He was on the taller end, with ruffled orange hair. He grew up with his Growlithe, which evolved into an Arcanine. On his thirteenth birthday, he embarked in his pokemon journey with his partner pokemon.

"Remember, Professor Cypress will meet you at the airport, don't go wandering before he checks up with you, ok?"

"Yeah, mom, I know, can I just get on the plane?"

"Oh, well, alright sweetie, make sure to call!" Ϗai ran off, through the airport. Once he made it on the plane, he impatiently found his seat and sat down. Arcanine was shaking in his pokeball.

"Listen, Arcanine, I know you don't like it in the pokeball, but we're on a plane, I couldn't let you out," Soon enough, the plane took off, soaring through the air, and over the entirety of the United Regions. Ϗai watched as they passed over the different regions, and he thought to himself, 'I'm gonna explore all of those someday,'

Suddenly, something shot by the plane. "What was that?" Ϗai asked. He got his answer as the thing slowed down, and lined up perfectly with his window. It was a pokemon, entirely black, with wings. It looked at Ϗai, and then it seemed almost as if it smiled. It shot by again, with no answer as to what it was.

The plane landed in the Naphia airport, and he stepped out into the new region.

"Kupri region, here I come!" He yelled, "Finally, the new region for me to explore," He practically jumped down the stairs, and ran out into the city. It was massive, sky scrapers, cars, and even pokemon everywhere. "I can't wait to explore!" He started to run across the road when someone put a hand on his shoulder. A car zipped past as he turned around.

"Glad I found you!" It was professor Cypress, a short, plump man, with graying brown hair. "Who knows what would have happened if I hadn't stopped you there, Ϗai,"

"Yeah, thanks for that," Ϗai said scratching the back of his head,

"Well, anyways, your mom told me to bring you to my lab, it's south of here, in Avapi Town, so come with,"

"Aww, but I wanna explore!"

"Don't worry, you'll get to, but first to the lab," They walked to the professor's car, and he drove away from the city.

"So, Ϗai, what's your goal here? Your mom didn't tell me much,"

"I wanna explore as many places and regions as possible, and discover unique, unseen pokemon!"

"Well, then I recommend the expedition team in Aboasia, they're exploring the unknown parts of the island,"

"Then can we go there now?"
"No, no, Aboasia is all the way on the other side of the region, here, take this map,"

After a long drive down route 1 in the golf cart, they made it to the small town of Avapi. There weren't that many houses, and all of them were fairly small.

"Welcome to the town," The professor said, "There's not much, everybody has been moving to Naphia since it became as big as it is now. It feels like it happened overnight, the small village becoming the huge city. Our town has gotten smaller since, bad business for the lab, which is why I was so eager to take you under my wing, your mother is an old friend of mine, you know. Anyways, here we are." They had arrived at the lab. They got out and went inside. Unlike the town outside, the inside was filled to the brim with high tech mechanisms, all going at once, it was like they'd gone inside a machine.

"All of these are for one purpose, making pokeballs. This machine makes it very easy, all you need is an apricorn, you put it in here," They were at the back of the lab, where a hole leading into the mechanisms was, "And the machine does the rest, see?"

The professor put a red apricorn into the chute, and it was shot out into the system, all the way around the lab, mechanisms modifying it, and when it got back around, "Tada!" A pokeball came out of the other end,

"We're the only ones in the region with this ability, not of making pokeballs, but making them so easily, here, take some," The professor handed Ϗai a few pokeballs.

"So what now, professor?"

"Well, do you want to go to Aboasia?"

"Definitely!"

"Then you better get going, do you have any pokemon with you?"

"Oh, yes Arcanine! I almost forgot!" He grabbed a pokeball from his backpack, and threw it. "Ark! Ark!" Arcanine jumped around, happy to be out of his pokeball.

"Woah there," The professor said, "Don't want you breaking any of the machinery,"

"So how to we get to Aboasia?"

"It'll be a long journey, are you sure you're up for it?"

"For sure!"

"Alright then, you'll have to travel along the southern routes. Your first destination would be Nioupl, through sparse forest,"

"Can I go?"

"Aha, your enthusiasm tires me out. Well, alright, you head on to the route, I'm sure Arcanine, will be a great partner to you," Ϗai started to run out the door, but the professor called to him. "I almost forgot," He panted as he caught up to him, "My grand-daughter is in Nioupl, would you take this to her?" He handed Ϗai a box. "It's a present for her thirteenth birthday,"

And with that, Ϗai was off, running into route 1, ready to start his pokemon expedition!
