So, Johto was actually east of Unova. It took a few hours, but Fearow was able to fly the long distance without fainting. Johto came up in the distance and I shouted, "Okay Fearow, we're gonna land soon! Dive down!" Fearow dive-bombed down into the region at immense speed. I saw a small town next to a lake and surrounded trees. "Okay Fearow! Let's land here!" Fearow landed in the small town and I returned him to his Pokéball. I stood there for a moment, just taking in the atmosphere. A calm breeze was flowing through the town. Throughout the town were many wind turbines, which made sense. To the west was a lush green route lined with trees. To the east was a lake and a whole route that way. I would go that way later. To the northeast was a colossal mountain capped with snow. Ideal for training, I thought. I didn't know where I was, so I walked up to a sign which read:

Newbark Town

Winds of a new beginning

I looked up at the wind turbines. Yup, seemed about right. There were a few houses in the town and a big building at the north side of the town. I read the sign there and found out that it was a Pokémon Lab. Ooh, science. I thought. I wonder who owns this lab- who the hell is that? I looked around the side of the building and saw a boy with red hair peering into the lab.

"So this is the famous Elm Lab..." muttered the boy.

"Hey dude, if you want to know what's inside, maybe you should actually go inside-"

"Hey, what're you looking at? Get out of here!" The boy shoved me back, sending me to the ground.

"Man, fuck you! Who cares about you anyway, with that whack-ass looking haircut!" I entered the lab, ignoring the stupid boy. Holy shit. It seemed that everywhere I went, everything was always bigger.

"Oh! Hello, are you a new trainer?" said a voice. I looked over at the voice and I saw a man in a lab coat. It must've been Elm.

"Are you Professor Elm?"

"Yes I am. Are you a new trainer?"

"In this region, yes. I've traveled a long way to get here. From Sinnoh, specifically."

"Oh, Sinnoh? That's quite a ways from here. Well, if you're looking for a new adventure, I can give you a Pokémon."

"No, that's alright. I already have 5 Pokémon and myself."

"Oh! Are you perhaps...?"

"Yes. I am half-Charizard. I am considered a Fire/Steel-type."

"Interesting. You don't suppose you could do a favor for me, do you?"

"Sure. What do you need?"

"Well see, I'm a Pokémon scientist, and I need to find information about Pokémon. So, I'm hoping that while on your journey you could record what it's like to be a Pokémon."

"Uh, I guess so."

"Thank you, trainer."

"My name is Vinny."

"Oh, um, can you do me another favor? I needed to pick up a Pokémon egg to Mr. Pokémon who lives north of Cherrygrove City, but I'm very busy with my work here, so I can't go. Can you go for me and get the egg? It's rather important for my research."

"Yeah, sure."

"Thank you Vinny."

As Elm went back to his business, I looked out the window and saw the boy still standing there. He noticed I was looking at him and flipped the bird at me. I made the "up yours" gesture and left the lab to the next city.

There wasn't much to see on Route 29, just nature. I passed through Cherrygrove City and continued onto Route 30.

On Route 30 there were a few trainers out and about, training their Pokémon. At one point, I noticed two trainers actually having a battle, while also blocking the route. I continued up northeast on Route 30, eventually reaching Mr. Pokémon's house. He was waiting there to give me the Pokémon egg that Elm was talking about. There was another guy there who said that his name was Oak, or the Pokémon Professor. I told him about me and that I was visiting the region to train. He nodded and asked me why. I told him about my father.

"Wait, The Great Charizard? He was your father? That's unbelievable! He was very famous way back when! He was said to have saved an entire city from a group of bad guys using something that we scientists cannot explain still, called Giga Evolution."

"Yeah. I can do similar. I am able to Mega Evolve without using a Mega Evolution stone. I received it in Kalos and I've been training my power since. I want to become stronger so that I can avenge my father."

"Do you think that you can help me with my research? If you can, that'd be great."

"Yeah, sure."

"If you achieve your Giga Evolution, or anything beyond that that is unheard of, call me on your Pokégear."

"Poké-what? What the heck is a Pokégear?"

"You've never heard of a Pokégear? You can make calls on it and other convenient things. Here, I'll give you this one." Oak handed me a blue Pokégear. It was a sideways flip phone, basically, but it had two touch screens, so that was neat. "It has a radio and a map installed on it, for your convenience. And of course, it tells time."

"Woah. If only my Pokétch were this cool. Well, thank you, Professor Oak!"

"No problem. If you ever need to call me, call this number..."

Professor Oak gave me his phone number

"Well, I should head back to Elm's lab."

"Oh, I almost forgot. Here's Elm's number as well."

After that, Oak left. I walked outside and called Elm to let him know that I had gotten the egg.

...beeeeep...

...beeeeep- "H-hello? Cops?"

"No, it's me, Professor Elm. Vinny. I have the egg you needed."

"Y-yeah. While that's great and all, I'm having some serious problems here... oh no... uh, come back to the lab quickly!"

Click! Beep...beep...

I was already running before he finished talking. Within two minutes, I had reached Cherrygrove City and the entrance to Route 29 when...

SMACK!

That douchebag from earlier slammed into me, knocking me back. He fell to the ground, the air knocked out of him.

"Ooh... hey! It's you! I overheard your conversation with that four eyed nerd. He's so stupid that I was able to break in and steal a Pokémon when he wasn't looking. A Pokémon that'll do good against your ass! Go, um..." He stopped to read the Pokémon's name on the ball. "To- uh, Toto-dile...? Yeah. Go Totodile! Kick his ass! Use something useful!" Totodile began swiping and scratching at me, doing almost nothing to me. Jeez, I didn't even send out my Pokémon yet. I thought.

"You done? Okay then. Go Pikachu!" Pikachu appeared out of a burst of light.

"Use Thunder."

Pikachu jumped into the air and sent a strong, acurate bolt of lightning down on Totodile, KO'ing it instantly.

"Now go return that Pokémon. NOW." I shouted.

"Hmph. Like I'm gonna listen to you. Just because you beat me once doesn't give you any authority to tell me what to do." As he was talking, I noticed his ID on the ground. I saw his name on the card which said "Silver".

"Silver." I said to the boy who was still talking.

"What? How'd you know...?"

"Your ID." I pointed to the card on the ground.

He picked up the card hastily. "Jerk," he muttered before walking away. I returned back to the lab. The police was at the scene of crime, investigating the situation.

"There you are, Vinny."

"I got the egg like you asked."

"Good, but that can wait," replied Elm. "Apparently, when my back was turned, a young boy about your age broke through that window there and stole a rare Pokémon."

"Oh, red hair and navy blue jacket? Yeah, I fought him on Route 29."

"You did?" asked the policeman. "Tell me, what was his name?"

"Silver."

"Alright, looks like I'm done with this investigation. Good day." The policeman left.

"Huh. So you actually met up with him, and you defeated him? Did you use your power?"

"No. I have a Pokémon team. I used my Pikachu to defeat Silver's Pokémon. It was easy. Oh, by the way..." I showed him the Pokémon egg I had obtained from Mr. Pokémon.

"This? This is a rather unusual egg... I've never seen anything like this before. I mean, yes, I've seen other eggs, but they were green and white. This one is blue and red. Tell you what. Since you're going on your journey, would you mind taking the egg along with you? To incubate it, I mean. I know it's a lot to ask of you, but it's crucial to my research."

"Yeah, sure. Whatever. I'll call you when the egg hatches. But now, I should be going. I'm gonna take on the Johto League."

"I wish you the best of luck, Vinny." And with that, I left.

I walked out to Route 29 and back to Route 30 where I continued on with my journey. On Route 30, I fought the two trainers that were blocking the route before. Well technically, I basically went and defeated every trainer on that route and moved on to Route 31 and then the first city with the first gym badge, Violet City.

The sun was setting low over Violet City and the street lights began to light up. I couldn't enter the gym because the leader was away, so I set off for Sprout Tower for more training. In Sprout Tower, I battled my way to the top of the tower and ran into Silver. He had just finished a battle with the "old hag" on the top of the tower. Then he used an Escape Rope and left the building. I proceeded to fight the elder who in return gave me TM70, Flash. He also gave me an Escape Rope which I used to get out of the building. After that, I went to go challenge the Gym. Damn, the gym was freakin' easy. The gym leader, Falkner admitted defeat and gave me the Violet City Zephyr Badge and TM51, Roost. I exited the gym and looked at the map on my Pokégear. I was supposed to travel south to Azalea Town where the next badge was. So that's exactly what I did.

I made my way down south along Route 32 doing my usual thing, training and such. The bright stars lit up the dark sky above along with the street lamps lined along the route. I traveled all the way down south to Union Cave and made my way through it to Route 33 and to Azalea Town. It was very early in the morning now, but still dark. I entered Azalea Town and noticed a man in black with a big "R" on his shirt bullying a regular man trying to reason with him. Suddenly, the dude in black shoved the other man back, who ran away in fear. They must be this region's bad gang, I thought angrily. The guy in black was guarding a pathway to a well and wouldn't move at all. I was going to find out if Team Rocket had any affiliation with the gang who killed dad. But first, I went to challenge the gym, but if course it was blocked off by a Team Rocket member. What the hell were they doing in Azalea Town? I didn't know what to do, but after talking to a few people in town, I heard that they were there for Slowpoke tails. Despicable, I'd call it. I met up with an old guy named Kurt who made special Pokéballs. He ran off like crazy to the well in which I followed. When I got to the bottom of the well, Kurt was at the bottom, lying on the ground in pain. I went on to fight the gang of bad guys in the well who revealed themselves as Team Rocket. Soon, I defeated their commander and ridded them from the well completely. Afterward, Kurt brought me back to his house where he said that he would be glad to be able to make me Pokéballs from Apricorns. I rejected, but told him that I would take his gratitude instead. I left to go take on the gym and defeated the gym leader who, I couldn't tell if he was a boy or girl at first. But after the battle, he gave me Azalea Town's Hive Badge and TM89, U-turn. I started to exit the town, but I was stopped by Silver who was no match for me again. After the short battle, I exited to the forest and began my long journey up north.
