Alex’s Journal

I’m leaving Johto. Mom and dad aren’t speaking with each other, Ichiro says it’s for good this time and I think he’s right. Dad wants me to stay with grandma Élodie in Kalos. Where even is Kalos? Do they have Pokémon in Kalos? Will they still let me practice my kendo in Kalos? Masa says they probably won’t mind but he’s never even left Ecruteak. But then, neither have I…

Eighteen is right around the corner and I haven’t even left my home town, by the time he was my age Ichiro was almost ready to face the Elite Four.

Mom says a change will be good for me, I hope she’s right.
