Okay. Where to start...? Well, for starters, you're in the world of Pokemon. The region we're currently in is called Johto and the Pokemon you received is your starter and partner. He, she, or it will be your primary means of protection and advancement in this world, regardless of whether or not you're a trainer or a breeder. At least, until you catch some new Pokemon or purchase some eggs from a breeder or the Breeding Center.

Are you following me so far?
