You had always dreamed of being a Pokémon Trainer, but your strict parents never allowed it when you first came of age. While your friends set off on their journeys with their starter Pokémon, you stayed behind, your longing tucked away with every poster and book you collected. Now at eighteen, free at last, you convinced a wild Metapod to join you, your first partner and symbol of the freedom you’d finally earned. With determination in your chest and a beat-up backpack over your shoulder, your real adventure had just begun.
