A Master's Refined Legacy

Prologue: The Soil

In Erukusu Town of the Sokoku Region, 10 year old Hikaru "Retro" Otoko is about to start on a Journey.

A Journey, that would claim him a place in history...

"Professor Akamatsu!" Hikaru exclaimed, organizing the Professor's books, "Today's the day right?" The ten year old stepping down from the ladder he was using and walking over to the old professor.

The Professor grinned, "I have seen two generations of your family start their journeys, you and Raibaru. I personally am just excited as you are for the two of you to start your journeys." he chuckled, taking out the three pokemon for us to choose, "This won't the first Pokémon you've been given, I saw you and your grandfather's Squirtle galivanting around."

"My father wants me to travel the world before I come home, doing the gym challenges in the other eight regions." Hikaru said, standing in front of the old man's desk.

"Your father is smart, dear boy, Sokoku's gym challenge is no joke compared to a region like Kanto's." The Professor stirred, "Once you leave, I ought to ask that brother of yours for help around here."

The ten year old sighed, "I'll miss this, Professor, but, it is my aspiration to be a trainer."

the man chuckled, sitting at his desk, and readying the pokeballs, "I will too, my boy, Raibaru should be on his way, get ready."

A few minutes later, the kid known as Raibaru came in, "Yo, Professor, we ready? I can see Otoko's here, it must be time then."

the professor nodded, putting the three pokeballs onto the table, "If you remember, Sokoku was the only area in the world, without Pokémon. So, the people who discovered our region, when they brought their families, the families brought these creatures. The first three Pokémon documented were Gastly, Abra, and Duskull, you will be choosing one of those today."

The two boys quickly grabbed one pokeball each, and tossed them in the air. Retro had chosen Gastly, and Raibaru had chosen Duskull.

"I'd battle ya, but I'm outnumbered 2-1, and that Squirtle, if the rumors that it's a champion's star pokemon are true, it's gotta have something up it's sleeve." Raibaru chuckled

Otoko simply smirked, "I'll make you a deal, we're both going to Kanto right? what say after we beat The Eight Gyms, we battle again?" the ten year old held his hand out, and Raibaru shook it, uttering two words, "You're on."

as the two headed off to the airport to get on their respective flights to The Kanto Region, Retro adjusted his hat, and pondered...

I wonder what This Journey has in store for me...
