Many people follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before them and live full and happy lives. Ash Ketchum though was a despicable boy who lived only for himself and relished in enslaving Pokemon. From a young age he trapped bugs in jars and gave them poor living conditions while avoiding the prompts from his father to grab a hammer and help him build some pallets. His destiny was clear to his father and he knew he couldn't stop Ash.
The pallet building scene was huge in Pallet Town and the road from Viridian Forest always had lumber coursing toward the Pallet Town lumber yard for the pallet building go-getters to get to work with.
It was hard work, but the pay was bad! At least that's what Ash's dad always told him and he believed it wasn't all about the money. Sometimes it's just about the satisfaction of seeing a perfectly square pallet and thinking, "I made that!"
This life and all the splinters that came with it would not be for Ash as he was determined to leave it all behind to become the world's greatest Pokemon Trainer. A profession and title frowned on by those who hadn't succumbed to the extremist enslaving movement which had gained traction due to pallet making being perceived as boring. The business of pallet making would surely struggle without Ash especially with no other successor in sight, it is a profession left to a dying breed as the young search for fame and glory.
