The Training Begins

suggested by Master Scizor


A long, long time ago,
In New Bark Town, far away,
A boy was waking up to a new day.
His mother bade him lend an ear,
So she could give him Pokégear,
And send him to the lab without delay.
Professor Elm, caught up in study,
Had not the time to see his buddy.
And so he told our young wiz,
"Go find out what the scoop is."
They knew the road was rather long,
And not that safe to set upon,
And so he got a pokémon,
The first he had to train.

Oh my, my, this here Gold/Silver guy;
Gonna win at all the Gyms, although he's just a small fry.
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye,
Sayin' "Someday, through the League I will fly"...
"Someday, through the League I will fly."

Well, now he has up and gone
To the home of Mr. Pokémon,
Fighting Sentret and Pidgey, too.
Ahh, do you see him marching through the grass?
The enemy trainers have to let him pass,
When he's shown them all a thing or two.
Well, he reached the house of which Elm spoke,
And who should be there, but Professor Oak.
Just a visit, no more complex,
Oh, but he'd brought this Pokédex!
And as long as our boy was the helping sort,
He had a favor now, to ask the sport:
To fill that 'Dex and then report!
Looks like he'll have to train.

Now, Oak was thinkin'...
My, my, this here Gold/Silver guy;
Gonna win at all the Gyms, although he's just a small fry.
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye,
Sayin' "Someday, through the League I will fly"...
"Someday, through the League I will fly."

Well, that egg Mr. Pokémon had found
Caused quite a stir back in New Bark Town,
But not as much as that other news.
Seems Oak's the best judge of training skill,
And if he'd given this kid a Pokédex to fill,
You know he must've seen greatness in him, from hair to shoes.
Well, if pokémon training's his destiny,
Then he's got a long road 'till victory.
The first stop is Violet,
Oh, and he'll win that Badge, I'll bet!
With his very first pokémon in tow,
And some Pokéballs to make his party grow,
He'll make his way toward Indigo,
The goal of all who train.

They all were singin'...
My, my, this here Gold/Silver guy;
Gonna win at all the Gyms, although he's just a small fry.
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye,
Sayin' "Someday, through the League I will fly"...
"Someday, through the League I will fly."

And so he began his new career;
In Violet Gym, he's kickin' Falkner's rear,
But in New Bark, something's going on.
As soon as our hero left the gym,
Professor Elm sent a call to him,
Becuase he'd just lost another pokémon.
Seems someone swiped a species that
Should beat this kid's in every spat.
So he headed for new Bark Town,
Oh, to see what was going down!
And in Cherrygrove, he solved that mystery,
And had the luck to win, despite my strategy,
And so began our rivalry!
I'll show him how to train!

Though they're all singin'...
My, my, this here Gold/Silver guy;
Gonna win at all the Gyms, although he's just a small fry.
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye,
Sayin' "Someday, through the League I will fly"...
"Someday, through the League I will fly."

Yeah, they're all singin'...
My, my, this here Gold/Silver guy;
Gonna win at all the Gyms, although he's just a small fry.
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye,
Sayin' "Someday, through the League I will fly"...
