"wait oak !"the old man scream's earning a few judgmental looks from onlookers walking by the street."Dad please can you stop making a sean"the brunette complains."Wait you scary looking boy did you just call this youngling oak?"."who the heck ever say's the word youngling"Leo say's with a blank expression.

"Apparently this geyser"Gary say's with a sigh."But Leo gotta say I'm little surprised,I expected you to be in pewter city by now".Leo simply shrugs his shoulder's at the question."I wanted to hang around and train a bit before heading to pewter"."what's going on here though "Leo ask's eyebrow raised.

"I was heading to viridian forest but this fossil started yelling at me randomly".Gary sighed once again clearly getting frustrated. "Hey watch who you calling a Fossil you brat!"the old man yelled out .but he soon took a breathe and calmed himself."Could you just please answer my question are you truly an oak?"he questions.

"Yeah I'm Gary oak ,why you asking are you a weird fan boy of my Gramp's?". Leo Snickers a bit at imagining such an old guy fan boy over the professor."You could say were old colleagues "the old man's grumpy face turned to that of a sad smile."father?" The young women ask's looking at her father with concern.

"I'm fine Amelia just thinking about things". "Tell me kid did you know your grandfather was fierce trainer back in the day. The question had both Leo and the young oak quite a bit confused. The professor was famed for alot of things but his battle prowess wasn't one of them.

"Wait gramps used to be a trainer?"Gary questions now very interested with information being told.The old man let out a scoff at the question."Samuel was the most powerful trainer in kanto!"the old man proclaimed."As much as he wants to try and hide his history those of us from his generation could never forget".

Both Gary and Leo's attention were fully on the old man before them. Both interested in learning about the man they both looked up too. Well at least that was Gary's reason for being interested. Leo was just hoping that the professor was a secret Uber powerful trainer.That way he could challenge the professor and get a good battle out of it.

Stolen novel; please report.

"Your grandfather was a prodigy one you only found once every decade"."He quickly rose threw ranks demolishing trainer's from every corner of kanto".By the time he turned 19 he had become the champion of kanto". "Making history and becoming the youngest champion to ever take the position "the old man proclaims with pride.

"How come I never knew about this ?"Gary questions eye's narrowing."After the great War Samuel has tried hiding his past"."Wait the great War the professor was apart of it?" Leo questions. "Right he was scary looking boy "the old man say's while scratching his chin.

"Both of you were taught that kanto and Johto were both once one region correct"the old man question's.Receiving nod's in confirmation from the two boy's."What they probably don't tell you ,thanks to Samuel is how it happened"."You see a year after oak became champion a civil war broke out within in the region".

"I'll skip all the political nonsense that happened that lead to it "But what you should know is that oak was fighting against this rebellion for the kanto government"."But it wasn't easy though even for him.

"Six out of the original eight gym's sided with this new revolution that appeared with in kanto". "And evey member of kanto's elite four did the same"." And joined the rebellion much like the gym leaders"."The government tried to take control but truth is they were completely out matched". "If it wasn't for your grandfather they would have never won ". "He single handley defeated all the traitor gym leaders at the same time by himself". "However despite this feat the battle's didn't stop and the war raged". "He watched good friends die on battle field and it exhausted him"."He eventually settled on ending the war himself ".

"He went completely awol for months before returning to end it"."He found the rebellion's base of operation's and decided to ask for them to surrender peacefully"."They refused So Samuel was left with no choice but to destroy their base"." however it didn't end there as the elite four tried to attack him and is family in retaliation".Their battle's were so intense that it lasted for literal days.

"Before your grandfather finally ended it". "No one knows how he did it honestly "." But threw the Mastery of his pokemon he some how Managed to split kanto in half"."Sending all those who sided with the rebellion to stay on this new land mass".

"That land mass would later become a complete new region known as Johto".Many of the pokemon and history got separated from each other after the split."However with this new development kanto was left without most it's gyms and an elite four. "Soon it was without champion too as oak resigned his title as champion".

"The gym leaders were able to be replaced relatively easy"." However the title of champion and the elite four were a little harder. "It took 20 year's before a competent elite four could be made"." But a champion still hasn't been property crowned"." All the members of the elite four , are relatively equal power and skill".

"Okay we knew this part kanto hasn't had a champion since the great War "Leo said. Where as Gary was completely stunned by the story he heard. "But what excactly did you wanna tell Gary about this?". "Well i was just curious if and oak could help me achieve a dream of mine?". "Wait what" Gary asks confused.

"What I mean is lad could you become champion and save the region?".
