Pokemon Outlaw: Rise of Elijah Stark

Pokémon Outlaw: The Rise of Elijah Stark

In the slums of Pallet Town, where the forgotten and unwanted reside, Elijah Stark, a 15-year-old orphan, struggles to survive. For seven years, he has lived among the outcasts, seen by society as nothing more than a street thug, an outcast unworthy of a future. While kids like Ash Ketchum and Gary Oak excitedly embark on their Pokémon journeys at the age of 10, Elijah knows that the world offers him no such privilege.

But fate has other plans.

On the day the new trainers leave town, Elijah tries to slip away from the slums, only to be stopped by another outcast who tells him that leaving Pallet Town isn't so easy-if he wants to have a real chance, he needs to visit Professor Oak. Skeptical but curious, Elijah takes the advice and walks into the professor's lab, where he is immediately recognized as "one of the slum kids." Oak questions his presence, but before anything else can happen, a thief attacks the lab, aiming to steal Pokémon!

With no one else around to help, Oak has no choice but to turn to Elijah. He tells him to pick a Pokémon from his emergency stash-Vulpix, Sandshrew, or Pikachu. Thinking fast, Elijah chooses Pikachu, realizing its Electric-type attacks will be effective against the thief's Tentacool and Tentacruel.

For the first time in his life, Elijah fights-not just for survival, but for something bigger. And he wins.

Impressed by Elijah's instincts and courage, Professor Oak offers him a chance at something more-a real trainer's license and a role as an assistant-in-training under his guidance. No longer just a nameless slum kid, Elijah Stark begins his journey not just as a Pokémon trainer, but as someone determined to defy society's expectations and carve his own path in the world of Pokémon.

This is not a typical hero's story. This is the rise of Elijah Stark, the Outlaw Trainer.
