Also here's a fun fact to think about if you don't know already: the trainers you play as for each game go missing forever after becoming the champion as seen in pokemon black and white 1 and 2.
I treat each chapter as being around 3 months, since it takes 3 chapters for a Legend to go from being knocked up to laying her eggs. So once he enters the Ship after Chapter 5, he'll have been out for around a year and half (including the three months it took to go from his home to Kanto)
