[i][h3]"Winds of a New Beginning"[/h3][/i][/center]

	“[i]Winds of a New Beginning[/i]” indeed! New Bark Town marks the first step towards what will [i]hopefully[/i] make for a fruitful and successful journey across the iconic Johto region! It’s quite the sunny day in town with a set of clouds accenting the sky. Some might even consider it cliche if it weren’t for the crisp breeze that blew through every now and then… but enough about the weather! You have your mind set on matters that are more important than a silly breeze. You’re here to claim your very first Pokemon!
	Towards the west of the city is where your destination awaits and it’s none other than Professor Junipers laboratory! It’s a rather large building that sticks a bit out in this quaint suburban haven. The Professor is a lively woman with a passion for Pokemon that burns from deep within. She’s tall, professional, and has a great set of legs! *[b]ahem[/b]* She’s also eagerly awaiting your arrival, so what are you waiting for? Whether you’re already in town, still traveling across country, or just arriving, it’s in your best interest not to be late. The Professor is a very busy woman after all.

[*]The first town in every new journey is also traditionally the most boring. Test your writing skills by managing to stretch the length of this chapter over 3 hearty posts.[/list]
