Anyway, pretty good for a prologue.
oh and I just realized you used the quote i always used in my signature on TBT in your sig qq
What gets me though, Ethan is the name of the main male character in HGSS (don't know if you purposely used it for that), so I'll be visualizing him in Hoenn during your story unless you give a complete description of how he looks, lol.
And according to your description, he looks like Red from R/B/Y. xd
