(Hey guys Incineking here and I wanna apologize for posting this chapter this late into the month. I worked as hard on this as the same I did for the previous chapter. even making this my new longest chapter yet. Again I changed some things in the previous chapters and in the comments the real release dates will be there. And the two themes you see play them in order. All credit goes to the creators as always and hope you enjoy the chapter.)

We continue with our heroes on their way to Valley Green Town so that Izaiah can challenge the gym and receive its gym badge and also so Paul can revisit his family. 

"Say Paul while we're on our way to Valley Green Town way don't we share where we came from," Izaiah said to Paul as they walked along the route with their pokemon by their side. "What? What do you mean?" Paul asked in confusion. "What I meant was to share where we came from. Like a mini summarization of our lives so far. Share our backgrounds you know?" Izaiah explained to Paul. "Oh, I understand now. Paul said. "Yeah since we're friends and were on this journey together we might as well learn stuff about each other. Izaiah said, " Well I guess I'll start from my childhood..."

"When I was a child it was always me, Jay, and my mom. I never really knew who my Dad was. Every time I'd ask who or where he was my Mom would just say 'It doesn't matter, he left us when you were two years old.' My older brother treats me like a baby still too. I am fifteen! " he said. "Dang, I had no idea Paul. But what made you want to be a professor?" Izaiah asked Paul. "Well, it started when I first saw Professor Redwood on TV. He was so respected and loved for all the stuff he knew about Pokemon. I wanted that, That respect. I learned so much about all the Pokemon around the world from him. I thought that having that knowledge and respect would impress my family too. Not just be this little kid like they always see me as." Paul replied. "So by impressing them that would have them stop treating you like a child?" Izaiah asked. "Yeah, it would. Besides going on this journey I'm learning way more than I thought I would. I'm making new friends along the way too" Paul said. "Well, I bet you can't wait to tell them what you have done so far," Izaiah said to Paul, giving him a friendly jab to his arm. "You're not totally wrong. Anyways what about you Izaiah? What is yours? What's the story that brought you this far?" Paul asked. Izaiah's face went white and his body went cold. He started to sweat and got extremely nervous. He couldn't tell Paul the real reason. Not now. So he just told him little minor details.

"Well, where do I start? Ok, when I was five years old I was living with my Abuelita. My Mom and Dad were Pokemon Trainers. I think I sparked an interest in Pokemon because of them and they were the ones that made the crest on my hat. My Abuelita would try and hide that from me so that I wouldn't want to follow in their footsteps. But I knew. She thought it would protect me and keep me safe from danger. Another reason my Abuelita was too protective to even let me have any friends. Let alone go with her when she went out to go do stuff. Eventually after basically begging her to let me go start my own journey she finally enrolled me into the program." Izaiah said."She wasn't too happy about it but she knew deep down it was my dream to be champion. To be the strongest trainer in the Kounty region." Izaiah said. "Wait if you were with your grandmother when you were five years old then what happened to your parents for that to happen?" Paul asked Izaiah. As Paul asked that question Izaiah tried to find a way to change the subject, then he remembered something important. "Paul we forgot something..." Izaiah said, "what is it?" Paul asked, "We forgot to get in contact with the professor." Izaiah said to Paul. As they both realized that they looked at each other with a shocked look. They both then started to rush down the route to the next town.
