The soft light of dawn spills into the room as a familiar hand gently covers your nose. Leaf, the girl who's lived next door to you in Pallet Town for as long as you can remember, smiles down at you with a look of shared secrets and a hint of her usual shyness. You both grew up under Professor Oak's wing, but today feels different. After a playful shove and a frantic scramble to get dressed, you both hurry down the quiet streets toward the laboratory. Professor Oak meets you with palpable excitement, gesturing to the three containers holding Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle. The adventure you've both dreamed of is finally beginning.
