Vermilion Blanks was 6 when he watched Cynthia defeat the reigning Champion and become the new Champion of the Sinnoh region. He knew what he wanted to do with his life after that.

Now, on his 12th birthday, a chance encounter with a fleeing Abra finally sets him on the path to becoming a fully fledged pokemon trainer! ... just as soon as he figures out how to teach his new partner something other than teleport.

Hey all, if you couldn't tell by the title, this is a pokemon fanfic with mostly original characters set in the Sinnoh region, expect an emphasis on pokemon battles, strategy, training, and progression. (for legal reasons, I obviously don't own Pokémon)
