Pokémon (poke-a-mon or poke-kay-mon)-Pocket
Monsters, or
Pokémon for short. Pokémon are monsters who inhabit
"Pokemon
Island." They have special or magical attacks which they
use against opponents. A trainer can catch a pokemon,
but must first weaken it with their own monsters. Once
the monster is weakened, the trainer can throw
out a pokeball and capture the monster. There are 151
known
pokemon, and there are still more undiscovered ones.

PokéDex- Ash Ketchum has a small handheld computer he
uses to get information on pokemon. Ash's pokédex is
named "Dexter" and provides Ash with the information
he needs on pokemon and rules from the Pokémon League.

Pokéball- A pokéball is a round object. Colored white
and red, a Pokéball is used for capturing pokemon. Once
caught, a trainer can keep the Pokemon he/she has
acquired inside the ball.
However, the trainer can only hold 6 pokemon at a time.
The rest are kept where the trainer got their pokédex.
(i.e Ash gets his stored pokemon from Professor Oak.)

Evolution- Almost every pokémon can evolve. Evolution
of Pokémon is changing into another form when a
pokemon has gained enough levels required. For example,
a Charmander can evolve into Charmeleon and Charizard.

GYM- Almost every gym is inhabited by a gym leader.
The gym is owned by the trainer and when a challenger
comes along, the trainer must accept his challenge. The
fight takes place on the gym's battlegrounds.

GYM Leader- Each gym leader has its own gym, where
challenges come in and out to fight. If the challenger is
able to beat the gym leader, the challenging trainer will
receive a gym badge. These badges are required for
entering the pokemon league.

Badge- A badge is what you receive from GYM trainers.
If you collect them all, you can participate in the
Pokemon League festivities.

Pokémon Centre- The place for healing pokémon. If your
pokemon is injured or hungry, this is the place to go.
