The world of Pokemon is a fantastic place. These magical creatures exist every where. They inhabit our forests, our trees, our mountains and even our backyards. Many secrets are still waiting to be discovered and stories waiting to be told. This region will be the blank page of a book our heroes will write with their own experiences.This story takes place in the comfortable setting of the Johto region. It begins with one of our characters, Kiryu Hoshikawa, enjoying a peaceful morning at home.<br/><br/>I awoke in my home at 8:00 A.M., which was relatively late considering I attend school, but today was different. I was to visit the Pokémon Center and meet with the professor to give me my first Pokémon. I lazily stumbled out of bed, nearly tripping over magazines strewn everywhere, and ran to my closet. I quickly changed into a pair of blue jeans, a green T-shirt, a short sleeve black hoodie, black basketball shoes and two white sweatbands.<br/><br/>After change I immediately jumped down the stairs, skipping every three steps, and bounded into the kitchen.

Me and my mother stared at Senya as she nibbled lightly on the berry. My mother laughed lightly while I, on the other hand, wasn’t amused. I leaned down in a crouch next to it and smiled a wry smile. “So you wanna be a little thief, ey?"<br/><br/>Her reply was to cutely blow a puff of smoke into my face. My eye twitched as I swiped a Lum berry from her bowl and ran toward the door looking back at the angry Flareon and smiled.<br/><br/>“An eye for an eye," I yelled as I ran out the door, hearing the sounds of my mother yelling and Senya charging up a Flamethrower attack. As I passed through the gate I enjoyed the calm rustling of the trees and the autumn leaves falling
