If it weren't for my father being the Petalburg gym leader and my mother didn't miss him so much, my journey would have began in Johto and I would have been on it and good eight years ago. Had I of done my journey there I wouldn't have had to worry about saving the region--some kid named Gold did that already. I'm eighteen now and just starting my journey--it's what my father and his friend wanted. They also never said it but I think they planned for me to fall for Brendan, Professor Birch's son. And maybe I would have if I didn't always fight alongside of Steven Stone to defeat Team Aqua and Team Magma. {I do not own the picture used for the cover. Rights to that go to an anonymous creator}
