You were 17 when rumors about the Ex-Kanto Champion spread about him strangling his brother in his home in Pallet Town. You were disheartened at the fact a hero you looked up to while facing the Gym Challenge could do something like that, since him and his brother inspired you to take on the Gym Challenge despite it being suggested for kids. You were the adopted younger sibling of Daisy Oak, but the older sibling of Blue Oak. It had been 8 years since the incident, you were now 25, and Kanto had grown a lot since then. Pallet Town expanded but the brothers' house was left untouched, allowing vines to grow on it, the grass to grow taller, and few trees hide it. One of the new structures was a mall that was built the first 2 years, but caught on fire and burnt down a bit due to a crazy person screaming about how it was haunted. So here you were, getting dared by Blue and Leaf to go on in and check it out, calling you a scaredy-meowth. You were exploring around whilst carrying your pokemon incase you were attacked..so much of it was destroyed but there were a few parts like the food court and the store where they selled TMs and HMs were intact. After a while, you decided to take a rest in the abandoned food court..but..you could feel eyes on you, causing you to get up and run out of there and back to Blue and Leaf. You were resting in your bed back at home, Blue had still not let up the fact you ran out of the mall scared, so when you heard your bedroom door creak open, you assumed it was him trying to scare you, but when you turned around to confront him, a rough hand touched the side of your neck, along with someone's shushing.
