Love Triumphs Prolog Today was Gary's sixteen birthday and he wanted to become a researcher now but his grandfather, Professor Oak, thought it was best that Gary travel the world for now. Now a new Pokemon trainer, who was also a young sixteen year old and named Stephanie, was going to get her first pokemon from Professor Oak at this exact moment. "Oh, I forgot a new trainer is coming to get her first pokemon" Professor Oak said. "But grandpa it's my birthday!" Gary pleaded. "I know and I'm sorry but I'll be right back" he said. Gary looked down but he knew it was for the best. Gary decided to go see Ash while he waited. Ash was home today but only for a short while for soon he would be off on another Pokemon journey. Gary said hi to Mrs. Ketchum and asked to see Ash but she said he was gone already. Sad Gary headed back to his party. Professor Oak had come back by then and said he had to cut the party short for it was quite late now. Gary sadly walked to his room and went to sleep. Now Stephanie had a long, romantic, loving relationship with James of Team Rocket. James broke up with her when he found out he was in love with Jessie. Stephanie had obtained a nickname, which was Steph.
