| A '''Pokémon journey''' is a quest undertaken by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} to learn to live and work with Pokémon. Pokémon journeys have many different possibilities, with some Trainers choosing to gather a [[region]]'s [[badge]]s from its [[Pokémon Gym]]s, their ultimate goal being the [[Pokémon League]]. For these Trainers, strategy is key, and they must learn to work in all sorts of circumstances to become the very best. Other Trainers instead choose to become {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s, competing in [[Pokémon Contest]]s with the goal of winning the [[Grand Festival]], gathering Ribbons by competing in contests all over. | | A '''Pokémon journey''' is a quest undertaken by a {{pkmn|ing the {{pkmn|Champion}}, though there are often sidequests along the way. A [[villainous team]] will always show up during the journey to impede the player's progress, and often, after theling with their Pokémon, and several adult Trainers, such as [[Cynthia]], have attained a status that allows them to remain in one place rather than traveling. Other adults, however, such as {{an|Mandy}}, see an adult on a Pokémon journey to be somewhat immature, preferring that they settle down instead. |
| | |
| A person's Pokémon journey can begin as early as the age of 10, when they can first legally apply for a [[Pokémon Trainer's license]]. It is at this point that a [[Pokémon Professor]] or other League-sanctioned official can give them a [[starter Pokémon]] native to their own region, though many people befriend other Pokémon prior to being legally able to be Trainers.
| |
| | |
| Pokémon Trainers may choose to journey alone or with friends and people they meet along the way. On their journey, Trainers can stay at a [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge, where their Pokémon can be healed by the resident nurse.

| ==In the games==
| |
| The [[main series]] games chronicle the Pokémon journey of an individual Trainer, the {{player}}, across a region that is dependent on the game being played. This journey is typically focused on defeating the region's eight Pokémon Gyms, defeating the [[Elite Four]], and becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}}, though there are often sidequests along the way. A [[villainous team]] will always show up during the journey to impede the player's progress, and often, after the Pokémon League has been conquered, several post-League areas are available to continue the journey.

| | |
| While sending ten-year-old children alone on a Pokémon journey is a normal part of life in the [[Pokémon world]], many [[mom|mothers]] remain understandably hesitant at letting their children grow up.

| |
| The {{pkmn|anime}} follows the Pokémon journey of [[Ash Ketchum]], who started off with his first Pokémon, a {{AP|Pikachu}}, in [[EP001|the first episode]], and as of this point has journeyed across several regions, competing in each of their Pokémon Leagues. His ultimate goal is to become a [[Pokémon Master]], while he is joined by several {{ashfr|friends}} along the way, each with their own goals.

| | |
| A Pokémon journey in the anime is considered to be a rite of passage. [[Delia Ketchum|Ash's mother]] has little misgivings about letting him go; her own husband, Ash's father, is in fact still on his own Pokémon journey. Other adults, such as {{an|Silver}}, are also still traveling with their Pokémon, and several adult Trainers, such as [[Cynthia]], have attained a status that allows them to remain in one place rather than traveling. Other adults, however, such as {{an|Mandy}}, see an adult on a Pokémon journey to be somewhat immature, preferring that they settle down instead.
