Pokémon Max’s Story: Grant’s Legacy
Please note that I have labeled as PG-13 for some heavy scenes I anticipate writing. Nothing too horrible, but some plot points that will be vital to character development may be uneasy on some.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Here is a [tentative] list of the series. As the story progresses, I will add links to each book and chapter!

This is the character biography section. With each passing chapter, I will update this section to incorporate new characters, new obtained Pokémon, et cetera…To start, I have given basic biographies of some characters you will meet early on. Please note that I will be referencing many characters already within the Pokémon series throughout the fan-fiction. Unless they play a pivotal role (Like Giovanni) I will not incorporate them here (ex: Characters like Brock who will only appear in one chapter in the first book).

Hello all! My name is Max Shade IV, but you can call me Max here on the forums. I was a former member of PokéBeach back from 2006-2008, with college getting me sidetracked from the games plus Generation V disappointed me. But, with Generation VI I have found my passion for Pokémon again and have once again returned to PokéBeach.
During my time here previously, I wrote two very lengthy fanfics that were rather popular. My original name was "MaxPokemonMaster" and I was often called "MPM" for short. When my fics picked up a fanbase, I changed it to reflect my work here to "Max Shade IV". If any of you remember me, please PM me so we can catch up.
With my return, I am looking to write my fan fiction of my character, Maximillian Grant Shade IV, from the beginning. I hope you enjoy!

Prologue: My Name is Maximillian Grant Shade IV
My name is Maximillian Grant Shade IV, but for all intents and purposes, you can call me Max.
I am ten years old and soon I will be setting out on my Pokémon journey! And one day, I wanna be as great of a trainer as my dad, Grant!
Who is Grant Shade? He's the strongest trainer in the Kanto region and has held the title of Indigo League Champion for a decade now. He is also one of the greatest dads ever. As for my mom, she married this awesome Pokémon professor Chris Ironbark. They moved to the Orre Region in Arizona. Lucky for me, my mom and dad get along still.
We don't live together though, but that's because I want to be a trainer like my dad, and the best for me to learn how to do that was with his hometown mentor, Professor Oak! And when I was five, my dad's Charizard, Lizardon, and another lady Charizard had an egg! I have no idea how it got there, but I was sure I wanted it! My dad let me hatch the egg and the Charmander and I have been inseparable since.
Charmander lives with Professor Oak though. The Professor makes sure he gets taken care of, and I go there every day after trainer's school to train with him. The Professor's grandson, Blue, comes by once in a while to train with me.
Then there is my neighbor, Rich. He hatched an egg my dad's Blastoise, Kamex, had with his lady Blastoise. We really have no idea how those eggs got there! They will be coming with us on our journey. Rich wants to work as a Pokémon breeder. He says he enjoys taking care of baby Pokémon and that coming with me will help him learn about all the Pokémon out there.
Together, Rich and I are going to raise and train strong and loving Pokémon to help us make our way to become Pokémon Masters! And with everything I have learned from my dad and the professor, I hope that one day, Charmander and I can become the most powerful team out there!
My name is Max, and this is my story.
