Ash's perspective:
On the road from Viridian City, a young boy named Ash Ketchum is on his way from his home in Pallet town, to meet Proffessor Oak in Viridian City so they can take an airplane to the Johto region.
His past adventure in the Kanto region with his friend Cynthia was amazing because he teamed in tag team battles in gyms and they managed to win every badge. Cynthia left on another journey just before she could challenge the pokemon league. Ash could not defeat everyone and did not make it past the final round. It is now 6 months later and he is ready to take on the Johto region gym leaders.
Cynthia's perspective:
In Fuschia city, Cynthia Shirona was sitting at the pokemon center thinking about what to do next. She had spent a good deal of time helping out the people here, and before that she was tag teaming with her friend Ash. She thought about all the gyms she won badges from with their style of battling. Just then, she saw on the screen on the T.V. in there, was a news report about the Johto region that said this;
"Many trainers are flooding to the Johto region to train and catch newly discovered pokemon!"
'Sounds like a good idea' cynthia thought. 'I bet I could become a better trainer in the Johto region'
At that moment, Cynthia decided to buy a ticket for a plane to the Johto region.
