'Allo. I know that most of you now regard me as an author
who leaves all his projects unfinished, but do not think of
me that way. The Viridian Champion was just a work that
I was using to get my "feet wet", if you understand. I will
continue it at a later date, but now just read this.

Prologue: Shocking Discoveries and Preserves

Johto and Kanto were two regions that had coexisted peacefully together for years without waging war against one another. Normally, this would be an impossible feat for any two lands- however, it was accomplished because of the creatures known as Pokemon. For you see, the inhabitants are too focused on training the various types of Pokemon to fight their bretheren
in friendly combat for personal glory. Thusly, they have no thoughts of war- their government is filled with honest people, not double-dealing power-hungy backstabbers.

However, a shock has spread throughout the land, upsetting the peaceful serenity and turning it into a mass of wondering chaos.
This shock originates from a simple statement- according to the
media, an island estimated to be home to atleast 15 new species of Pokemon has been discovered. Such news is good news to
the scientists who study Pokemon- They do not know the total
amount of Pokemon species that exist, and they are always eager for any clue that will help them unlock the mystery. It
is also good news to those who train Pokemon.They expect
that- as they did when they discovered the many new species
of Pokemon in the Johto region - a new Pokemon League will
be created in the vicinity, so as to make capturing of these new
creatures easy.

Yet, no such capturing will be done yet- the new island has not
yet become home to a league, and anyone who tries to go there and capture some of these new Pokemon faces the wrath of the
judicial system. However, some action has been taken. Two weeks ago, officals of the Pokemon League arrived on the newly
discovered island and captured as many varied male and female
unknown Pokemon that they could lay their hands on. They then took the creatures and moved them to safe neighboring islands,
on which preserves were already being built. The Pokemon were moved into the preserve, which was a virtual replica of their old island home. Since then, they have adapted peacefully to their
home.

One may think that the preserve's creation had no purpose, and
one would be wrong if he thought so. For you see, that was done simply to make studying the new Pokemon easier- the scientists did not favor adventuring into the isle's dark jungles to learn about these creatures, and thought it would be better to study them in a man-made area rather than a wild one. Now, the scientists are going to pick one of their aides to go spend a long time in the preserve, studying the creatures, then making sure that they can be trained. Their studies would decide if a new league's creation was appropriate.

However, the crime orginization of Team Rocket waits to use the preserves to their advantage...Already, the Rocket boss Giovanni Rocket is preparing a team of Elite Rockets to go to the island and raid it. And so, a world-affecting event begins...

Crappy, eh?
