Hey everybody! My name is Peter, and I'm a Pokémon Trainer! Not just some Pokémon trainer. Until recently, I held the title of Champion in the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokémon League.
Today was a very special day for me. I have trained and battled with Pokémon for many years now, and I have made some really good friends in that time. I've had many different teams of Pokémon of all types. Many of my friends have already traveled on without me. Some of them went back to their families, went on their own adventures or joined the team of another trainer.
But today, I will do something new. There are so many Pokémon that I caught, but just couldn't take with me on my journey. This will end now.
I said good-bye to my friends in the Pokémon League, left my most powerful team in the care of Cynthia, who was the Leader of the Elite Four up until now, and set out on a new journey.
And with me I took two Pokémon that I always wanted to train, but never had the chance to.
Let me tell you a little bit about them.
The first one is Link, the Buizel. This little guy is really fun, but also a little tiresome. He never stays in his Pokéball for long, and he loves to just run and jump around. When he's tired, he likes to take long naps, but his sleeping place is a bit unusual. Instead of going back in his Pokéball, he curls up in my bag, after throwing out whatever item takes up too much space.
His favorite attack is Sonic Boom, which is not only really effective against low-leveled Pokémon, but also gives me and other trainers around us a horrible headache.
The second Pokémon I began my adventure with is Lexie, the Houndour. Lexie has been the sheepdog for my herd of Mareep for a long time, but now she will finally get to go into battles! She is rather shy and still a bit unsure of her own power, but when she does go into battle, she never retreats until she either overpowers her opponent or faints herself. Lexie is also not a big fan of her Pokéball, so she prefers to walk right next to me.
Her favorite attack is Ember, but she often sets things around her on fire, as she is still unable to properly control her power.
This Voltorb has been following me ever since we started our journey, always rolling or hopping behind us. It usually stays at a distance, eying me and my team suspiciously. I have never seen it attack another Pokémon, but it often comes to a halt and is really still for a few minutes, as if it was charging its batteries. I guess I'll have to wait until it dares to come near us, but maybe we can be friends, too?
I haven't gotten very far in my journey yet. I spoke to Professor Rowan and he gave me a new Pokédex. The old guy is still as intense as I had remembered him. And I've battled a few wild Pokémon to give Link and Lexie some training before we take on other trainers or even a Gym leader.
I'm really looking forward to this new journey through Sinnoh and I'm curious what other Pokémon might join my new team!
Cheers,
Peter
