Jacob walked along the road in Little Root. He had never been to the Hoenn region before, and it was very different from his home in the Unova Region. But Jacob liked it; he could see himself moving to this region one day, especially because of the pokemon there. Jacob looked over his shoulder at his Elgyem, Machiavelli, or Mac for short. The pokemon was happy as always, hanging off of Jacob like a parrot on a pirate captain.
Jacob thought about his next move; he wasn’t in Hoenn to get badges, really, although he hadn’t decided yet whether or not to challenge the League. No, his goal was to catch some of the psychic pokemon that had made their home here in the Hoenn region. Jacob’s goal was to catch some of them as well as challenge the other psychic type trainers in the region; particularly, he needed to find a ride to Mosdeep City to challenge the gym there. Liza and Tate were relatively well known Psychic trainers, and it was Jacob’s goal to defeat them. After all, he was trying to become the most powerful Psychic type trainer in the world, and he hadn’t met another psychic type trainer that could beat him yet.
Jacob and Mac(Elgyem) walked along the road until a face caught Jacob’s eye. He turned, and looked at the young man. He tilted his head, trying to place the face. And then he remembered; it was this young man who had become Champion in Kanto. Jacob didn’t remember the man’s name, but he was certain that he would make a good sparring partner. After all, he needed to face strong opponents if he was going to improve. Jacob approached the man.
“Hello,” he began. “Are you the guy who became champion in Kanto?” He asked. Before the man could answer, Jacob continued. “Would you mind having a battle?”
