A New Adventure
Chapter 1: The TrainerÆs Dream
The sun broke over the waves that blocked the horizon. Olivine City was 
starting another day. The lighthouse 
spun around for the last time and flicked out. The docks were crammed with 
boats and the early morning 
surfers were riding their LaprasÆ and their BlastoiseÆ. One boy though, was 
not up and ready. Ryo Surf. He 
dreamed of becoming big in the Pokemon World. The Johto league was waiting 
for him. But he lacked one 
thing; Pokemon. The first step in becoming a master is having a Pokemon.
	The alarm sounded and Ryo pressed the stopper. He fell out of bed and 
opened his drawers. He pulled 
out his jeans and jacket. He slipped them on and looked into his mirror. æI 
will become a master. Today, I will 
catch the biggest Pokemon ever!Æ He heard a giggling outside. He ran to his 
window. Ryo looked down to see 
Jasmine, the Gym Leader, walk past. Her Magnemite was floating behind her. 
Her chestnut brown hair was swaying in the wind behind her. RyoÆs hands 
started shaking. They had known each other from birth, but Ryo had never 
realised his love for her until just a few years back. He wanted to become a 
trainer; she wanted to become a co-ordinator. But then she became a Gym 
Leader, and he becameà well, nothing. Her steel Pokemon could take down a 
full grown Dragonair! That was the kind of trainer Ryo strived to become. 
	Downstairs at the table his Mum had a surprise for him. æRyo, I want 
you to have this.Æ She said as he was half way through his Poke Flakes. æItÆs 
your fatherÆs first ever Poke ball. Now you can become a trainer like your 
father too!Æ She had a huge smile that spread across her face. RyoÆs face was 
a different story. His eyes were bulging, his face red, his stomach twisted. 
He never thought this moment would come, and it just had. He tried to speak 
but no words came out. HeÆd studied Pokemon all his life. He knew everything 
already; his dad was a researcher in Sinnoh after all. His first ever Pokemon 
was a rare Eevee. Maybe Ryo could get something like that. æLost for words I 
see.Æ His mother laughed, æNever mind, thanks me laterÆ Ryo stood up and ran 
outside, his black skinny jeans clinging to his legs, his Vans sticking to 
his feet. The future trainer looked a mess, but he certainly didnÆt feel it.
