Trivia[]

The story is based off of my Pokemon FireRed game file, as well as the anime.
- However, the story takes place after the events of Ash's Hoenn journey.
Mike and Calum are both based off of real people; Mike is based off of me, while Calum is based off a friend of mine.
Despite the fact that she didn't appear, the first member of the Elite 4 was indeed Lorelei.
