Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! My name is Orange! People call me the Pokémon Prof! This world is inhabited by creatures called Pokémon! For some people, Pokémon are pets. Other use them for fights. Myself… I study Pokémon as a profession. Your very own Pokémon legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits! Let's go!

You awaken in your room. Nothing makes this morning stand out in particular from any other morning, but you shiver with anticipation. The local Shrine Keeper has invited you over today. You have always had an interest in Pokemon, and there is no-one more knowledgeable in their ways than the Shrine Keepers. You wonder what he has in store for you.

 No.2

Oh, boy. I better hurry and get dressed and go down there!

 No.3

>>2
You head downstairs, but your mother stops you at the door.

!

"Emily! The Shrine Keeper, Corwin, asked for you to come to the shrine today. I packed you a lunch, in case you need to stay late. Also… I got you some new Running Shoes!"

You glance over by the door, and there is indeed a new pair of sneakers next to a backpack.

 No.4

>>3
Give her a hug. "Thanks mom. You are always looking out for me."
Then try on those running shoes!

 No.5

>>4
You slip on your running shoes. They feel comfy and good for running, like a good pair of shorts. You can hold B to run.

She ushers you out the door, and you head out into your hometown of Mint Town. Traditional structures dot the landscape which is populated mostly by trees. Tall grass is all over town, though you've been careful growing up to not go too deep into it. Up in the capital province, you can go entire days without seeing the kind of tall grass that Pokemon lurk in… and somehow that makes you feel very sad. Like they've wiped out all of their natural Pokemon in favor of controlled environs.

In any case, from here you can see the Calligraphy school that also functions as the Grass Shrine. Corwin will be there.

 No.6

>>5
Use B to run inside. Are there any grass pokemon at this shrine?

 No.7

>>6
At the entrance, you're greeted by the benevolent cry of a Tropius. You nearly topple over when she extends her neck to inspect you at the door and takes a whiff before letting you through. You happen to recall that Tropius is Corwin's favorite Pokemon – to the point that he is strongly associated with her.

Attention drawn by the cry of the Tropius, one of the shrine attendants looks up from a book and notices you. "Oh! Emily! I'll tell Corwin you're here. Just wait a moment here with Tropius."

Tropius gives you a questioning look.

 No.8

>>7
'1d10' pet Tropius while I wait.

Roll #1 3 = 3

 No.9

>>8
Tropius snorts at you.

The attendant returns with a chuckle. "Careful. Tropius is a very high level. It won't respect anyone that it doesn't think is strong. I think that's why Corwin likes it. Please, come with me."

You follow the attendant through the main hall of the calligraphy school. Here, a myriad of local and journeyman students practice their form with sticks in boxes of sand, hoping to perfect their technique. Some Pokemon are participating, too, drawing with vines, notably bulbasaur and bellsprout.

You arrive at the head office, and the attendant lets you in. Corwin is alone in his office, apparently working with great vigor on something on a large pad. He makes strokes with a mighty brush.

When you enter, he nods and acknowledges you. "Good morning Emily. Thank you for coming here today."

 No.10

>>9
"Yea no problem. " I smile widely. "Your school is really full today."

 No.11

>>10
He nods. "Yes, the anniversary celebration is coming up very soon. Which actually brings us to why I asked you here. As you may remember, Mint Town has a tradition each year of welcoming home an aspirant who travels the world with a team of Pokemon, in hopes of better understanding them, to bridge our worlds. This is all in the name of unity – bringing us closer together. But the part of the celebration that you may not realize because there is no fanfare is that in order to welcome home trainers, we must also send them away on journeys. I've watched you grow into a talented young trainer, and I know you have been asking your mother for a Pokemon of your own… I can see that I will not be able to dissuade you from going out into the world soon. So to that end, I would like to offer you the opportunity to be the one to go out into the world and take a Pokemon journey of your very own to each of the shrines, to discover the bond that exists within yourself and Pokemon!"

 No.12

>>11
My eyes get wide and I lean forward with an excited grin "really Mr. Corwin? That would be great! "

 No.13

>>12
He leans back and gives a sage nod. "Then I will give you three gifts. The first is from the big city. It's not traditional, but you may find it useful."

He slides across his short table a bright red Pokedex. "Almost every Pokemon in the world has been categorized on that device. If you ever get confused, you can consult it. But I recommend learning not to rely on it, but instead on your own instincts. Next… you will need a partner."

He reaches into a box and pulls out three Pokeballs and sets them on the table before you. "You may choose one to be your partner."

 No.14

>>13
Put away the pokedex for now and look at the pokemon balls. I have a good feeling about ball two, let's see that one first.

 No.15

>>14
"Ah, so you want the pure grass Pokemon, Shroomish, which becomes the grass-fighting Breloom? Is this your choice?"

You note that the other two options are the grass-poison Pokemon, Oddish, and the grass-psychic Pokemon, Exeggcute.

 No.16

>>15
"Um.."
Ponder a moment and pick up Oddish's ball.

 No.17

>>16
"So you want the grass-poison Pokemon, Oddish? You know, the poison shrine isn't very far from here, compared to the other gyms."

 No.18

>>17
"I want an Oddish." I say with confidence. "I bet Oddish will want to see the poison shrine." I talk toward the pokemon ball "you want that right Oddish? "

 No.19

I should wake up…

 No.20

>>18
He hands you the Pokeball. "Before you take this, do you want to give a nickname to Oddish?"

>>19
You shake yourself awake. The dorm life is no life for a kid, and you're exhausted from all the hubbub last night. People are way too excited. Still… you should go to class, in spite of your tiredness. It would be wrong of you to squander the last period before finals. Then… graduation. The thought excites and intrigues you… until now, it had been all theory. Practical application begins soon… if you can pass the test. You hop out of your bunk. Your roommates are still sound asleep.

 No.21

>>20
Go to the sink and wash my face off, time to get ready to eat the world!
Put together the bag for my exam and leave the door silently, trying not to wake my roommates up.

"Yes I will name it…Solaire"

 No.23

>>21
You loudly clonk the door closed, but if they woke up from it, you sure can't see. You trot down the hall toward the main classroom of the battleschool. You wonder what will become of your classmates. Most of them will graduate of course, but what of those who don't? And for those who do… what will they do? Will they take the Pokemon Challenge and go to each of the Gyms in hopes of earning a badge? Or head straight out into the world? Your parents always wanted you to go on to become a great gym-conqueror, perhaps settle down in a gym and maybe even become a gym leader some day. That of course would require a great team and a lot of study. In the meanwhile… You've had your own ideas. In any case, you show up to class, and the teacher is writing on the board:

HAPPY LAST DAY OF CLASS!
Homework: Study for final!!


Looks like a lot of kids didn't even bother to show up to class… figures. The last class is optional, and some probably thought they would be better off studying on their own. Your teacher greets you warmly as you enter. "Good morning Austin. Feeling up to the exam today?"

>>22
He gives a friendly nod and straightens, standing up. "I have one last gift for you… something that I hope you will take to heart as you journey with your Pokemon. Perhaps… you will come to understand it and become enlightened by it in time. It is a gift of two words."

He returns to his pad, and swipes his brush across the page with rapid, consummate skill. "Calligraphy and pokemon training… they share the same roots… self-expression of the depths of our being… and both can demonstrate our connection to Pokemon. I hope you take this, and you can learn from it my technique. Perhaps some day you will return to study the Grass Type under me once you have become stronger."

He finishes the calligraphy and produces the fine art for you. It reads two words:

Our Land

 No.24

>>23
Take it carefully putting it into my backpack "I will look back on this and remember you. "

 No.25

>>23
Smirk with confidence.
Gym conqueror? That's not what my life is gonna be like! To just be another league champion forgotten after a few years!
Oh no, I will go down in history!
But for now…
"Of course!"

 No.26

Well, time to go.

 No.27

>>24
He gives another sage nod. "Don't forget to say goodbye to your mother. Today, your Pokemon journey begins!"

>>25
The teacher nods. Soon the classroom fills with students, and the bell rings. They sit down for class. The teacher turns on a projector and displays this image. "Let's warm up with something easy. Everyone take out your Pokedex and load up Dragonite. How heavy is Dragonite?"

Right… your Pokedex is in your bag. You can just reach in there and load up a Pokemon manually without pointing at it. Learning to use a Pokedex was part of your curriculum. The Global Pokedex project was very important for the categorization of Pokemon, and your 'dex can do all sorts of neat things, even tell you type weaknesses automatically.

 No.28

>>26
You shake yourself awake and glance at the clock… 6:58

You're so filled with anticipation that you woke up before your alarm…

Today is the final exam for graduation from the local Pokemon Academy. If you pass this test, you'll be a fully certified trainer, able to go out and challenge gyms, take on practical knowledge and do whatever you want in the world. You'll get your own partner today.

You better get ready so you don't miss the bus.

 No.29

>>27
Look it up. Should be number 149. Some things never change.

 No.30

>>28
Pack up.

I'm excited, I guess. Notes, my digital Pokedex, pencils, pens, lab tools.. what am I missing? Oh, yes, my rod and balls. Maybe I'll start fishing for that water Pokemon straight after this.

 No.31

Dragonite is a dual-type Dragon/Flying pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Weight: 210kg
Additional Data: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dragonite_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29

>>30
Right. Your global Pokedex is probably your most important tool. Although… you secretly had ulterior motives at the academy. Schoolboy Joey told you about halfway through the semester that you get to keep one of your projects if you graduate. They should be ready by now, and graduation is today, if you pass. It all seems to line up.

You head to the door, but your mom stops you. "Arthur! Are you ready for the big test?" She gives you a big hug, smothering your face.

 No.32

>>31
So do I have a paper to fill or is this just by raise of hand?

 No.33

>>32
Just raise of hand. The exam is right after class, this is your last review session. You can skip it if you want.

 No.34

>>33
Nah, let's see how the others do. Check the questions out.

 No.35

>>31
"Oooh, thank you, Ma. Yes, I am. I think my Caterpie is waiting for me, got to rush off, you know! Or it was a Caterpie, at least. Can I go now"

 No.36

>>34
Other hands shoot up. "Michael?"

"Two hundred ten kilos, ma'am."

"Good. And can anyone tell me which type is the only type with no pure members? Joan?"

"Flying!"

"Good, good! Alright, so who can tell me the pure electric Pokemon that is not affected by ground-type moves? Dean?"

"Tynamo!"

"Nicely done. Does anyone have any questions going into the test?"

"Uh… I forgot, which move lets you use Solar beam every round?"

"That would be Sunny Day. Good question, Mitchell. Anyone else?"

>>35
She gives you one last squeeze before ushering you out the door. It's cool out, but you should make your way to the bus stop.

 No.37

>>36
Alright, I'm feeling hyped! I can do this! Follow the class until it's time for the test, big grin on my face.

 No.38

Walk there and look at the sky above. I hope some nice weather heralds a good beginning to this day.

 No.39

>>37
You head down the hall to the testing room. It is cleared out except for a myriad of desks, where some students are already sitting. Across the walls there are big banners that read: GOOD LUCK ON YOUR TEST!

Your teacher reminds you: "After you finish your test, take it into the next room to be processed. You will immediately receive results. If you pass, do not forget to pick your partner and collect your class project!"

>>38
It's a little cool out for today. Usually it's quite warm here, since you're in a western city, close to the badlands and desert. Glancing westward, you can actually see the distant peaks that supposedly house ancient shrines to the Pokemon types. There's a rail line through your town that leads out to Chromeburg, the steel-processing town. Of course, your town is famous for its Electric Pokemon, not that you've ever cared so much for that type. The bus finally arrives, and you clamber inside.

"Mornin' Arthur. Ready for your last day?" The driver good-heartedly adds: "Gonna be nice not having to see your ugly mug anymore. Now sit down so I can drive."

You comply, sitting next to a classmate, and he drives you on toward the academy. You can see the suburbs of your home, Amber City, as you ride.

 No.40

>>27
"Alright!" Time to go see mom. I bet she will want to see my new pokemon!

 No.41

>>39
HERE WE GO!
Take a seat and get ready for the test, with my pokedex on a side and pens on the other!

 No.42

Post map pls

"Bah, same to you! Hahaha. Hahaha ha."

Look out for some of the local Pokemon. Pretty sure some of those bird pokemon are going to land on the bus at any time now.

You hold B and run home as fast as you can! You nearly run into your mom straight away when you get in the door. Looking up, you detect traces of tears in her eyes.

"I… knew this day was coming… but a mother can never feel truly ready. Well… I guess it is finally time. I tried to shield you for as long as I could, but it's finally time for your Pokemon adventure…"

>>41
Slowly but surely, they distribute the tests. Yours is face down. The headmaster enters the room with a pistol (with blanks, of course!) and fires a shot into the air. "Begin!"

>>42
>

Your town, being a city, is notoriously populated by Pidove and Trubbish. You see a few trainers with Mr. Mime and Jynx shooing them away.

 No.44

>>43
Psychic types! I should consider one, yes. But enough of that. Let's just get to school already. Oh, but better just run through my notes first.

 No.45

>>43
How… Texan of him.
Turn the test around!

 No.46

>>43
"Mom.. don't worry about me. I have a pokemon of my own to watch out for me!"
call out Solaire, the oddish. Time to say hello.

 No.47

>>45
You get most of them right away. There are just a few that you even have to think about…

1. This Pokemon is the best defensive electric Pokemon. It evolves only in highly magnetic areas: ______

2. This Type would be a good response to a team composed of a Murkrow, Heracross, and Dratini: ______

3. This Pokemon hides in cities by pretending to be a trash bag: ______

4. These two Pokemon must be traded for each other two evolve them: ______ ______

5. A Pokemon of all types would be immune to (list all that apply): _____________________________________

>>44
Right… type weaknesses and strengths… Fairy is immune to dragon… Ground to electric… Flying to ground… Ghost to normal and fighting… you're more concerned with the breeding portion of the test.

>>46
With a flash of light and a cry of "ODDISH!", Solaire appears on the table. Your mom is still pretty emotional, so she gives you another squeeze before going over and patting it. "Alright…"

 No.48

>>47
Oh right. Just got to note down the egg groups, how metrics for an Individual's stats are passed down as if they were a universal Value…

Well, can't wait to get there.

 No.49

>>48
Your bus finally arrives and students nervously head down to the testing room. You could've gone to the review session if you had woken up earlier, but you felt confident and that more sleep would be a bigger benefit than the review.

Heading into the test chamber, it has been cleared out. The room is lit by the great coils which cast electricity between them, lighting up the room. They sure love their electric Pokemon here. Even on the walls, there is a painted mural of various electric Pokemon, like Voltorb and Electabuzz. At the center of the image is the mythical Zapados.

They hand out tests face down.

"Students ready… begin!"

 No.50

1. Magnezone
2. Fairy

5. Normal, Electric, Ground, Ghost, Dragon, Psychic, Poison

Show her my smile. She should know how happy I am. "Mom, I'm going to be a hero, you'll get to throw me the best welcome back party ever! It will be here before you know it!"

 No.53

>>50
You finish your test… time to turn it in, if you're ready. Many classmates are still at work. When you've decided on your final answers, head into the back room and turn it in.

>>51
You blow through the bulk of the test, marking hard questions to come back to later. These are the harder ones:

1. A Pokemon has IVs of 15 in each stat. What is its hidden power type? _____

2. True or False? A Breloom with Mach Punch is bred with a hypothetical Clefable that also knows Mach Punch. Does the Shroomish offspring know by instinct Mach Punch? ___

3. Chimecho and Litwick are part of this egg group. _____

4. Your Pokemon knows Dragon Rage and Moonblast. Which should you use to achieve super-effective damage on a Dragonite? _____

5. This item sometimes causes the opponent to flinch after an attack, and also aids in evolution. _______

>>52
"Yes… the whole town will celebrate when that happens. Just… I'm so proud of you. Be safe… and once you're out of town… I already put something in your bag this morning… Wait to open it."

 No.54

>>53
"Alright. I love you mom." Give her another hug before leaving with Solaire.

 No.55

>>53
They are still at work because they are not as awesome as I am.

 No.56

>>54
You consult your map before heading out of town. West would take you to Umberreach… it's a dark place and a bit dangerous, but you could get to the core cities faster. Alternatively, the east road takes you out to Fandango City, where Poison Types are popular. It's also the largest port city in Tianxia.

>>55
A few more turn in their sheets. Ready to turn yours in, or are you going to keep sitting and people watching?

 No.57

>>56
No way, I'm turning in right now!

 No.58

>>53
1. Dark!
2. Nope. Only Breloom can learn Mach Punch.
3. Amorphous, also known as Indeterminate.
4. Moonblast. Dragon Rage does not seem to be affected by typing or stats.
5. King's Rock.

Man, didn't expect them to come up with a Hidden Power question. Luckily it's easy to remember how dark works.

 No.59

>>56
I should go to Fandango, that's where the poison shrine is.

 No.60

>>58
When you're ready, there's a back room to turn in your paper.

 No.61

>>60
Put it in the back room, then.

How are the others faring?

 No.62

>>59
You wave one last reminiscent goodbye to your hometown of Mint, then head out the east gate! Your Pokemon adventure begins now!

…Outside of Mint Town, the forest is thick and tall with grass. There will no doubt be a lot of grass pokemon here. You may also want to try to add other types to your collection, too.

>>61
You seem to be the first to finish! Nice going. Most of them look pretty confident, though there are a couple sweating faces.

You head into the back room and there is a computer waiting to process your form. Your teacher gives you a friendly smile as you insert the sheet. "First to finish! How was the national test?"

 No.63

>>62
"It was alright, ma'am. I think it's safe to say 'll be fine. Hah, it's so fast. Soon I'll be wandering the region on my own."

Slowly put the paper in.

 No.64

Explore the tall grass. "I wonder if we can find you a friend Solaire."

 No.65


 No.66

>>63
It slowly feeds in…

100%! Nice!

She beams. "Congratulations! It looks like someone didn't need the review. Go ahead into the next room to collect your project. But first… you'll want this:"

The machine prints out a laminated Trainer Card with your picture. "This is for you!"

>>57
You head in and the testing proctor, a man, gives you a nod. "When you're ready, feed it into the machine. It will create a print out of your Trainer Card if you pass. Good luck, Austin."

>>64
You remember your mom's words before going into the tall grass. Better check your bag for whatever she packed.

 No.67

>>66
Nod with a majestic grin and stick it in!

 No.68

>>66
"Why, was there ever any doubt?"

Wipe off the beads of sweat and stop panting, then slowly take my card.

"I guess I can leave soon, Ma'am. Anything else I should remember?"

 No.69

>>66
Oh, right! Check the backpack. '1d10'

Roll #1 10 = 10

 No.70

>>67
You receive a print out. 97.2%! It looks like you forgot ghosts are also immune to Fighting, and that the two Pokemon that must be traded for each other to evolve them are Karrablast and Shelmet. No time for regrets, though! You had 38 questions of fluff that padded your score! Your trainer card is coming out right now!

"When you're ready, move on into the next room, you can pick one of your class projects from this year."

>>68
"Remember… in this world of Pokemon, there are many different ways to live. Just because you've received your Trainer card today doesn't mean you have to take on Gyms… you don't have to be a trainer at all! However… with scores like yours, I know whatever you do, you'll go far!"

>>69
Inside, there's a letter and a package. You read the letter first:

Emily,
This was your father's. It's a limited edition Pokemon League hat. I know that it's not our town's way to visit Gyms, but I hope it will bring you luck! Also, I packed a few other goodies… I'm so proud of you! Good luck!
Love, Mom


Got:
Limited Edition League Hat!
Pokeball, x2!
Antidote x1!
Potion x1!

 No.71

Whoops.
Next time I will read the questions twice.
Oh wait, there will not be a next time! AHAH!
Stroll victorious onto next room!

 No.72

Equip [Limited Edition League Hat] and strike a pose before heading into the grass!

 No.73

"Guess that's why I'm traveling. Pokemon are so intertwined with our lives,that to know them can lead to just about being everything else! And I guess, that's why I came here. Traveling.. maybe I'll even make friends!"

Now, I need a Pokemon. Can't be one without. Where? Where?

 No.74

>>71
You head into the next room and find three dispensers. You also see a table with each of your class projects laid out, and you quickly find the section labeled Austin… right, you remember fondly making each of these.

First, you had to carve out your own Amulet Coin. You could never forget that time you went to the Pokeball Plant and got to create your own Hunter Ball – much more effective than an Ultraball. Oh! And there's that TM they taught you to program! It's TM54, False Swipe!

You can only pick one…

>>72
You boldly charge into the grass! Ah! There – up ahead! It's a greenish spider… Spinarak!

Spinarak: Lv 3 - [||||||||||]

Go! Solaire!

Solaire: Lv 5 - [||||||||||]
[Fight] - Absorb, Sweet Scent, Tackle

>>73
Right… since you were breeding with the knowledge that you would to keep one, you bred three powerful watertypes to choose from!

You rush over to the aquarium tank and see three eggs, each ready to hatch… Staryu, Horsea, and Mudkip. You happen to know that all three of these water types have excellent stats and typings in their final forms. And you bred some secrets into them, too…

 No.75

"You can do it, use Tackle!" '1d10'

Roll #1 6 = 6

 No.76

Spinarak used String Shot! Solaire bounds up ahead in spite of the slowing strings and makes contact!

Spinarak [|||||__]

Solaire [||||||||||]

 No.77

All so beautiful.

Now, I probably can't give that Horsea the care it needs, I can't be constantly seeking out tanks of water to help it.

And that leaves the other two. Ahh…

 No.78

"Good hit. Now try absorb." '1d10'

Roll #1 2 = 2

 No.79

Spinarak used String Shot! Solaire is really getting weighted town!

Spinarak evaded the attack!

Spinarak [|||||__]

 No.80

>>77
Right… That leaves Staryu and Mudkip. Each safely tucked into an egg.

 No.81

>>77
Still, an eventual Psychic type, and I think it's easier for that Mudkip to find a nice home anyway.

Alright then, Staryu it is. Though we're in an electric city, but, well, what are things without some challenge?

Look very carefully at the Staryu egg for signs of hatching.

 No.82

>>79
"Oh, Tackle it again." '1d10'

Roll #1 8 = 8

 No.83

>>81
You remember from your breeding lessons as soon as it feels the warmth of your hand, it will trigger the hatching. As a Breeding Graduate, Pokemon you breed with hatch faster than for other trainers. You are the master of your own fate: do not let the world decide which Pokemon you find!

"Your parents also left some money for you… I recommend spending some of this on Pokeballs!"

Got 500P!

>>82
Bam! Solaire rips through the strings and smashes Spinarak! Spinarak fainted! Solaire got experience for winning the battle!

 No.84

>>83
Wonderful.

Slowly reach inside, and to the egg.

Bed time. Thanks a lot

 No.85

>>84
Night.

You withdraw the egg, and immediately feel it begin to shake… your Pokemon is hatching!

 No.86

>>83
Grin with joy and pet Soliare. "We did it! We won our first battle!"

 No.87

>>86
Oddish shakes a little bit, bristling… but in a good way. You feel its leaves run through your fingers. You never really thought about this, but you realize that if someone hadn't been raised around mostly-wild Pokemon like yourself, they might misinterpret the body language of a Pokemon. You already understand Pokemon much better than city folk… as a bonding specialist, you become friends with Pokemon much faster, building Tempo, Happiness, and Affection faster. Being in tune with your Pokemon is not just good for relationships – it makes you better in battle.

 No.88

>>87
Well, that just means I will have an advantage over the colder city trainers, and a friend. Lets keep going, maybe we will see even more pokemon.

 No.89

You wander through the woods and approach great oak tree. Hm… you examine the side of it… a deerling rubbing. There must be a buck nearby.

Hm, check my pokedex for information about deerling, maybe it says something helpful about this behavior.

Deerling, the Season Pokémon. Deerling changes its appearance depending on the current season. However, this change in form does not occur after capture, unless it is present in the player's party at the time of a season change. This applies to Eggs as well.

Behavior:
Deerling hide in tall grass when they sense animosity. Deerling tend to move in herds due to their timidity towards humans. Sawsbuck bucks rub their horns against trees to 'shave' off old velvet, and these markings may indicate a herd nearby. Sawsbuck, though majestic, are much more dangerous than young Deerling.

It's all you can do not to gasp as you take in one of the most majestic sights of your life. Peering through the bushes, you look into a clearing where a mighty Sawsbuck is bending down to nibble at the grass of the clearing, surrounded by a few curious little Deerling. As if this was not enough, they are beautifully caught between seasonal changes. You realize that this must be the first day of autumn, because their friendly green coats are slowly shifting from the head to the base of the spine to a warm orange color! If you caught one now, you would have a totally uniquely colored friend.

Right… now to pick your partner. This is a Pokemon you'll be with for a long time!

There are three dispensers, all of them good at acquiring items for their trainers… Sneasel (Pickpocket), Lotad (Thief), and Teddiursa (Pickup).

Your teacher takes this moment to speak up, though. "Austin… I've noticed in my class you always seem distracted by books about hard to find and tame pokemon… mythical pokemon, shiny pokemon, and even dragons. If you want… I'll offer you an alternative to these three from my personal collection. If you'd like, you can have my Swablu. If you treat it well and train it, it will evolve into a dragon – Altaria."

Interesting proposal.

>>100
100th post!

You shiver with anticipation. You barely got any sleep last night… You've been helping out around the lab, but Professor Orange said he wanted to speak to you personally today. You rarely exchange words with the director of the program, but he's supposedly brilliant. To want to talk to a kid like you… you're pretty excited! You think that one of the research fellows must have put in a good word for you… but you wonder what he wants.

Your teacher nods. "From here… you're free to do as you will. Many of your classmates will no doubt take on the League Challenge, but if you want to learn more about dragons and legends… I would head north to Server Valley. That's where all the central information on rare Pokemon is kept. Or for dragons… supposedly near Cyan City there is a place where dragon trainers meet and train their powerful Pokemon. It's out to sea, though, so you may need to find a ship in Crimsonborough or Fandango City – unless you just teach Swablu to Fly!

>>120
He looks up from his work. "Oh – Hannah, it's you. Right… actually, the meeting I was talking about was with you. You see, I've heard a lot of good things about you, so I wanted to ask you to do something for me."

With that, he gives you the test. You can turn it over when you're ready.

You wander as best you can through the overgrowth, but it starts to get thicker. You accidentally trip over a vine in the thick grass, but suddenly you realize that it was no vine at all – it was a Bellsprout, and it's right on top of you! G-go! Solaire!!

"This is quality work. It's almost completely correct, except for this one, here – on branching evolutions. Bugs only have two branching evolution families, Wurmple and Burmy. The correct answer was Water – Poliwhirl, Slowpoke, and Clamperl. Still… that's a 97.5%!"

He types something into his computer, and from a printer nearby, a card prints out. "Hannah! This is your trainer card… this will authorize you to challenge gyms. And with that, you'll need a Pokemon of your very own. Your Pokemon adventure starts today!"

"As you know…" he draws a Pokeball from a box under his desk, "We study evolution here at this facility. But here, we always study it in a controlled, closed environment. If my research has taught me anything – about why we continue to discover new evolutions for Pokemon, it is that evolution is not something controlled in a sterile lab! It is something that is messy, dirty, and happens in the wild, on the fly! To that end… I want you to go out into the world and learn all about Pokemon evolution, and come back and tell me your findings from the field!"

He sets the ball in front of you on the table. "This is an Eevee – the evolution Pokemon. I'd like you to have it. And also… you can choose one of these."

He opens a case and sets it before you. There are three stones – one red, one blue, and one yellow. "These are evolutionary stones. You don't have to use them on eevee, but you can if you want."

Got Eevee! Would you like to give a nickname to the Eevee? Gender: '1d8'. If 8, female. Anything else, male.

"Eevee!" It cries as it leaps from the Pokeball and into your arms. It's fur is soft and silky. It's a male, too. It seems to know Helping Hand, Growl, Tackle, and Tail Whip.

"I have one more gift for you… It's a product of research at this lab. If you use this on your Eevee after you evolve it, you could create a Pokemon with the strength of two types… it would be a very powerful hybrid."

He produces a dark amber colored stone. "This is a Return Stone. It's the natural progression of the Everstone – it will return a Pokemon to its previous evolution. If you use this on Jolteon, for instance, you could return it to an Eevee and then evolve it again into something else."

Or, you can head out to the fringe of the core cities, in the outer ring. That would be west, to Amber City. All of those cities have gyms for the Pokemon league… and if you want to learn more about evolutions to various types, you might be interested in visiting the various Pokemon type shrines, though you're not very familiar with their locations… You think there's an old Electricity shrine in Amber City – not surprising because it is the heart of this region's electric power plants.

You head out onto route seven. This route is carefully groomed because it is between major cities, and the grass is well trimmed all the way to the nicely decorated stone walls that line the path. There are designated "Pokemon conservation areas" off to the side which consist of moderate height grass and flowers. A nearby government mower gives you a friendly wave as he cuts bits of grass that have grown too high, and then he sprays some sort of attraction spray on the grass to encourage wild pokemon to nest there.

>>223
Oddish laps at little bits of the honey before it on the ground, and Dusk nibbles at it pleasantly. Blink keeps burrowing and popping up on other sides of you, so fast you can't keep up with it to feed it! Eventually he calms down and you're able to feed him successfully.

Amber City… that's out of the west gate. You get your paperwork in order as you travel so you can show it at the gate. You'll need it to go to even the outer ring.

When you arrive at the gatehouse, you're greeted by the guard. "Good morning. May I see your passport?"

You don't have to do much avoiding as it is. Here on Route 8, the grass is well trimmed all the way to the walls, which are pleasantly decorated with spark imagery.

Over off to the side of the park, you see "Pokemon Conservation Zones". Grass is allowed to grow moderately high, and there is a sign nearby that explains that the grass is treated with chemicals to attract Pokemon to it. It asks that you report it to your local official if Pokemon become too unruly or grass growth gets too high.

You think you hear chatter up ahead. You rush up and hide behind a nearby wall. Glancing around it, you can make out two Youngsters with ratatas out… you might be able to sneak by them, but you should be careful… if you lock eyes, you'll have to fight, and Clyde is pretty hurt.

Fortunately for you, they are too embroiled in their match for them to notice your loud tromping around. You make like an eevee near a mossy rock and leaf.

You roll out of bed and you already hear a racket downstairs. Comes with the territory, you guess. You look through your things but you don't think anyone took anything. All your stuff is neatly confined to your pack, anyway. You recall that the Director wanted to see you… maybe she has a new job for you today. You could use the money, to be honest. Coordinating may be your passion, but Coordination don't always pay the rent.

On the way down to the director's office, you pass a team of clefaries in various scarves… you could do better if someone gave you the chance! You wonder what the Director wants.

You head on in, and the Director nods at you as you enter. "Oh, Kingsley. I was getting some good vibes. Hey, dude, let's make this real quick and simple. I got an endowment fund from the city… and I thought you could use it to go out and try your hand at becoming a professional coordinator. Y'know, clear out of my attic space. Anyway… if you want… I've got some money, and I could let you choose your first Pokemon. So… I picked these out. This one is Smeargle… he can learn any move, so he's a good choice, right? Next is Shuckle… berries are really important in Contests, and and Shuckle can do berries in aces, yeah? Or… you want a loyal Pokemon that will be really beautiful? Fire is all about beauty. Try Growlithe. Anyway… I can only afford to give you one. This endowment isn't huge, y'know…"

Got 5000P!

"If you want to use that Shuckle… I recommend trying the contest that specializes in Tough moves… that's far out in the country, in Ochreville. If you want to learn about Smarts… try Server Valley. People travel from all over the world to see the cute fairies in Autumn Glen. It's the only reason I would ever go so far into the country!

So to that end… I'm giving you this old Poffin Case to make and store them. If you let Shuckle keep holding the berries, it will turn them into nutritious Berry Juice that is good for humans and Pokemon alike. I have one final gift… though it's more of a test. If you ever go to Fandango City, for instance if you are on your way to the Cute competitions in Autumn Glen, I've arranged for a fisher to supply you with a Rod and the proper bait to catch your own Feebas. If you can level it up into a Milotic, you'll know you're ready to come back and challenge the Beauty competitions."

It's a city, so its probably full of stuff like Pidove and Trubbish. You should also keep an eye out for those electric Pokemon like Emolga and Voltorb. Every once in a while, humanoid Pokemon like Mr. Mime, Jynx, Smeargle, Electabuzz, Gothita, or Pawniard can be found in cities too, but they're pretty rare and powerful.

Your Pallet carefully attaches himself with his tentacles so that he won't fall off, but you find it a little easier to think. With that, you head out into a brave new world!

He grumbles something about you being a 'ringer' as you go.

You head down south, but to get there you need to traverse a couple flights of stairs to get onto a lower road. Amber City is built on a hillside, so there's a significant drop as you head south. Nearby you see a pack of Ratata in an alleyway. Up above, a Murkrow caws at you once before taking flight and disappearing over the top of some buildings. Let's see… you could take the main road down to the south gate, or cut through some alleyways in hopes of finding some wild Pokemon.

Emolga… the Sky Squirrel Pokemon.

Electric / Flying

Emolga is a rodent-like Pokémon, primarily white in coloration, that most resembles a flying squirrel. It possesses black eyes, a tiny nose, and yellow cheek patches. Its ears, positioned at the top of its head, are rounded in shape and black in coloration, with yellow and white sections of coloration in the inside of its ears. Emolga sports a vaguely hood-like patterning of black around its head, with a spiky extension of the pattern above its face. Emolga possesses winglike, yellow-colored flaps connected to its three-fingered arms. Its feet are white-colored and fairly small and its black-colored tail is in a jagged shape.

Emolga glides from tree to tree using its cape-like membrane.

You head back and heal up. Do do do-do-do!

Dedenne, #702, the Antenna Pokémon.
Electric / Fairy

Its whiskers serve as antennas. By sending and receiving electrical waves, it can communicate with others over vast distances.

To Route 7 then? Or will you try a different route for different Pokemon?

Still route 7! I need to go all the way north to that dragon city!

With that, it heads off into the treeline.

 No.610

>>604
This area seems a little picked over by local trainers. You might need to battle a few away before you can find Pokemon here.

Gilda was confused! Gilda used previous move, Peck!

"ANDUINN! TACKLE IT!"


Ratata Lv5 [▓▓▓▓░░░░░░]

Gilda Lv7 [▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░]

>>605
You push through the shrubs, and find a calm lake! This lake is buzzing with local Pokemon life… you see a Corsola reclininig in the shallows… little schools of Relicanth, and occasionally a Tirouga will breach the surface. You think you see a Binacle or too… All in all, a lot of Water/Rock types.

>>609
Last time you went to the Pokemon Center with Hannah, and she departed.

>>608
When you approach, you see a large purple drop symbol… Poison Type Shrine…

>>607
You shake yourself awake. Ugh… your hair is a mess, you look like a Hex Maniac! Maybe even your hair anticipates what's coming today. Even though you live in the city, you have always had an appreciation for the traditional line of thought – respect for the way of the types. Perhaps this is just because of your attachment to Psychic Type. Fortunately for you, the Psychic Shrine for this region is in your town… and today you finally got an audience with the mysterious Shrine Keeper! He or she seems to keep the Psychic Shrine shut away from the rest of the world… but you got in!

Now you just need to look presentable.

 No.611

Then I need to go home and rest up for tomorrow.

 No.620

>>614
It was a critical hit! Ratata fainted!

"My strategy was flawless, though!"

Got 110P for winning. Gilda gained some experience.

>>615
You head out the eastern gate of the city, hoping to run into something interesting.

You do in fact… there's an Electrike sniffing the ground, trying to track something down.

>>616
"Wow! They're both great, Arthur! You've made me so proud!" She gives you a big pillowy hug, because all anime moms have huge breasts.

>>617
Hm… you could put on a nice solid white ensemble with slacks and button up shirt… or a flowing black cloak. You're not sure if you should go professional or all-out traditional psychic.

>>618
Into the shrine you go! This shrine must be in a sauna, because thick clouds of steam fill the air… you find it hard to see. From somewhere outside of your vision, you hear a voice: "You come seeing the Poison Shrine?"

>>619
He holds out a berry.

…Where did he get that? Was it in your hair?

 No.621

"Just gotta grind more, kid!"
Leave with a happy smirk.

Shuckle gives you a blank look. Well… you only just met. It will take time to learn to communicate with a rock-bug!

>>623
You pack 'em up and you're good to go! Anything else before you head out?

Oh! Can't forget your Pokedex. It has everything… your map, your flashlight, your radio, your phone, and of course… it's a Pokedex.

>>624
So you don't want to follow the Electrike to whatever it's tracking. Okay.

You head back to the southern road.

>>625
"Sure… travel at your own pace, be smart about your journey!"

>>626
Just when you think you can make something out, it disappears.

"Confusion. Sleep. Poison. Such is the way of we who protect the Shrine in the Mists. Are you ready to be tested?"

Take a seat next to the lake with Shuckle on my lap. We should get to know each other better. Offer him a piece of the berry.

"Did you like this kind, Pallet?"

 No.634

>>630
The choice is yours and yours alone… will you silently stalk the Electrike, or give up and head south in search of lizards?

>>629
You pass out with a spider on your face. AAAAAAA.

That was a nice rest.

Meowth used Growl!

"You are one weird little bug."

Take off my headphones and put them out Shuckle's shell. Maybe he likes techno?

How are the rest of the pokemon here reacting?

 No.640

>>636
You silently stalk the Electrike around the walls of the city to a hole in the wall. A few sparks fly, then Electrike takes off!

Against your better judgement, you stick your head in the hole to see what's going on in there. Hey! It's a Pikachu warren!

…Hey! Your head is stuck!

>>635
You begin the hike around Phlox City. The roads are all odd and wavy here… ugh… you should've brought your skates so you could grind there. Weirdly someone put in routes that are only traverse-able by grinding.

In any case, you head down to a stately building with mighty columns and a large eye symbol in the middle. The Psychic Shrine.

>>637
Meowth used Growl! How fierce!

Meowth Lv4 [▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░]

Gilda Lv7 [▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░]

>>643
You head up to the front. Uh… there is no door. There's a big slab of metal. What?

…As if sensing your approach, it slides down and opens so you can enter. Weird.

>>644
All of the Pokemon here move sort of stilted, because they are all part Rock Pokemon. It occurs to you how far away you are from the great mountains – known for their Rock Types.

>>645
From behind you, a voice!

"YOU ARE ALREADY DEFEATED."

Probably. Only question is… do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?

>>707
You make your way to the hotel, where you find someone official looking.

"We do have a few odd jobs… We need a Pokemon to freeze some water to ice, another Pokemon less than 6 inches to clean out a vent, and a human willing to help search rooms for lost and found."

>>708
He gives a sage nod. "Good! That's just what I want to hear in this generation obsessed with battles and conquests! I think you may be ready to go on a Pokemon journey of your own! But to that end… you'd need a Pokemon!

Not really, after all this trouble today. Guess I better get to training soon. Are we healed?

He levitates over three balls. "I have three Pokemon that I think are good choices for you… Drowzee… who would make it trivial to rapidly expand your team as you explore the world, to capture a wide variety of Pokemon… Ralts… the half psychic half fairy with potential to wreak havoc – and grow closer to you… and Bronzor… who combines the amazing powers of a psychic type with the stout defense of a steel type. No doubt any of these Pokemon will augment your latent psychic capabilities."

Lyra mills about. She hasn't had much time to grow accustomed to being captured.

Well, the lower-elevation North Road heads up to Crimsonborough, and the road is uneven and dotted with potholes… dangerous fire types and explosions in that area. Route 5 to server valley is notorious for being filled with urban Pokemon, and Route 9 out to Covalent has a little bit of everything. Route 12 has a lot of climbing Pokemon in its great oaks that it is famous for. All of them tend to have some psychics as a result of being near Phlox.

As for the view, you can get the best view out the North Road because it is a lower elevation, and the gatehouse is smaller. It looks pretty rugged and rocky.

This is a means of protecting you and deterring smuggling and crime by known anti-government organizations."

You're about to head into the tall grass when a sweet ride pulls up. It's a flashy red convertible, and the back seat is full of cheerleaders.

"GO! DARYL! HE'S OUR MAN! IF HE CAN'T DO IT, NOONE CAN!"

A handsome youth leaps out of the passenger seat with a pokeball in hand. "Alright, alright, Enough love for now. I need to catch a Pokemon here before we move on."

If there is, you can't find it. After banging into several more things, you head back upstairs.

>>1001
A small figure is atop it, and the very landscape seems to flow with life surrounding it. Flowers sprout everywhere around it… it seems immensely powerful. It gives a cry. "SHAAAAAAY!"

Flustered, you fumble with your Pokedex and point it at the strange figure:

???
Undocumented Pokemon
Type: Grass
Apx Level: 60


For a moment, your eyes connect. You stand there, staring at each other for a time, and then, as quickly as it arrived, it disappears, heading down the hill. By the time you get over there, there is no trace of the creature – save a beautiful field of flowers left in its wake.

You have three options. Down the left path, you see advanced darkness. Down the middle path, you hear the sound of machinery. The right path seems in the most advanced state of 'decay' – it probably wasn't finished originally, and is an odd melding of half-rock cave half-metal walls and consoles.

His Sneasel is blinding fast! It leaps around the battlefield with impressive speed. He must be focusing on training that attribute. You recall that the city nearest yours – that you tried to get into – focuses on attribute training. Maybe Lucus is from there? You don't really know much about the guy… Hmm… if he was, he might be able to get you in without beating gyms or getting a passport… Maybe you should find out more – if so, you could ask for that instead of money for winning.

>>1080
Aron fainted! Lyra reached level 7. Clyde reached level 11. Clyde wants to learn Swift. Do you want to delete a move to make room for Swift?

You head back into the main room, then out of the Factory Cave.

From up here, out the other exit of Factory Cave, you can see the lights of Chromeburg below. The last great vestige of the western world. Apparently the great train here can take you to other regions, like the ships in Fandango City.

It's a bit of a walk down, but you're feeling motivated.

You've got my attention! You wanna turn up the heat?

You waltz out into the woods with your new team of two… The great redwoods almost seem like a faintly burning fire as you wander through the dark woods. The path gently slopes up. If you follow it long enough, you'll arrive at Crimsonborough.

Comfortable is pushing it. You wake up with your face once again smooshed up against the cold window of the Battle Spire – turning in your sleep. You groan: it's a good thing that these windows are reinforced – you could've fallen fifty feet. You would curse whoever at the battle academy decided this was optimal. You WOULD curse, but you almost feel nostalgic: today is the final day of your school. Exam day. If you pass, you receive your trainer card. Certification. The privilege to head out into the world. And of course… a Pokemon of your very own.

Growing up in Phlox City has been… an interesting experience, to say the least. While the lower city is all concerned about style and the classical means of bonding with Pokemon – dressing them up, haircuts, massages, fancy treats, etc. – the Battle Academy of Phlox City specializes in the science of bonding. You practice feeding chemical pheromone treats to Pokemon to make them like you. You recall on several occasions consulting your bonding handbook that informed you that you need to rub your Pokemon's face in a clockwise direction ten times between treats. It was all a very cold and sterile way to go about the science of Pokemon Bonding – all in a crusade to get those precious extra damage points, critical hits, and endurances.

Today for the first time in years you rejoin the world below. It will be strange coming down from the Battle Spire – touching ground once again, and seeing wild Pokemon other than flying types – but part of it fills you with excitement.

Right. Time for the exam. Your room is tiny, but you don't have to share it, at least. You grab your back and head out to the ledge. There's an optional review session, or you can head straight to the test.

"Which direction should you rub a Pokemon's face?"

"Clockwise!"

"Right."

"Wait, I should rub right?"

"That, too."

He continues for a lengthy time going over bonding techniques, like the contents of Pokefood.

Do they honestly think we'll find this stuff everywhere outside of the institute? We should be reading up on the natural berry ingredients of stuff. Learning how to make our own poffins, or pokeblocks. I suppose I'll just listen for now, since I'm not really picking up anything new.

No doubt. In any case, you work your way through the review session picking up a few details here and there, but you're too anxious to pay attention. Eventually, you sit through the rest and make your way down to the test with the others… you're ready. You feel the excitement building.

Heading "down" to the test is really the wrong thing to say, though. You head to the Sky Dome. It's the highest room in the facility. It's a glass dome. And you can see the city from it.

"When you complete your test, head back down one floor and into the first room on the left. Turn in your test and it will be immediately graded. Those that pass will become certified, receive a card, and their starter. Good luck."

You turn over the test. To your relief, most of the test is pretty easy, but five questions do give you a little bit of pause – you're not worried, though.

1. An Eevee evolves by happiness to? ______ _____

2. An Eevee evolves by affection at what percentage rating? ____

3. Which of the following has no empirical evidence of increasing Pokemon happiness or affection? A) Victory. B) Haircut. C) Talking to it. D) Face rubs.

4. The Tianxia Stone Forest is known best for its ______ Pokemon.

5. Tauros hordes occasionally contain the _____ Pokemon as well.

Happiness? Is that friendship? Or do they mean affection? Well, there are two blanks, so they must mean friendship. So, I'll write down Umbreon or Espeon.
Affection evolution usually only happens at 100%, or so I recall. So I'll put that for the second one.
Well, they never said anything about haircuts for pokemon in classes, so that's probably the one they mean. I'll circle option B.
Stone Forest? Probably rock type pokemon.
And Tauros usually go around with Miltanks, right? Right.
Okay, I think that's all of them.

Your teacher is waiting for you down there next o a machine with an insert slot. "Finished? As soon as you're ready, feed it in and it will quickly grade your test. I believe I did well teaching you.

Oh that wasn't actually them talking. You can't do that yet, tough guy. You'll get there someday, maybe. This is more like your inner dialog. Who has a dialogue instead of a monolog? Weirdo.

Anyway, head where you want to go.

It feeds out seconds later. "Hmm… well, you got thirty seven of the questions right… three were answered wrong. That's 92.5%. Congratulations, you graduate."

A card prints out with your information and picture on it. "This is your certification. Are you prepared to meet your new partner?"

 No.1231

I'll smile a little as I hold the pokeball in my hand. Tightening my grasp a little, I'll head out of the room, and I guess since I'm done here, I'll head back to my room. That way I can properly introduce myself to my partner.

 No.1241

You return to your room on the outside of the Battle Spire. Oh… wow. All your stuff is packed up and sitting outside the door. They sure are efficient here. "Optimal".

You feel the breeze and glance over the balcony… it's quite a ways down. You can't remember the last time your feet touched the ground. You see the people move around like ants… you're supposed to be better than them. Optimally trained. Optimal bonding potential. Well, hopefully it worked.

Phlox City itself looks quite pleasant. It's a little artsy, with its colorful buildings and winding streets: very aesthetic, far from the optimal precision of the Battle Spire.

Well, I'll attach the pokeball to my belt, and heft the box. Looks like I'm hitting the pavement earlier than expected. Once I get to the local Pokecenter, I'll have the time to take stock on things. And see if I had any potions or change tucked away in my things.

Now for the long, long walk down the Battle Spire…

At the bottom, you approach the door. You hesitate before putting your hand on the handle. Here we go… your first steps out into the world with your own Pokemon, as your own real trainer.

You check your box on your way to the center. Right… 500P to your name.

It's pretty big. Mighty braziers light up your night (and yes, it's still night. It works like the Pokemon games: your time is always the system time, even if you just resumed walking down a path having done nothing at all and suddenly ten hours have passed, or if you sleep for hours and no time has passed).

There's a pleasant smokey smell coming from it – rich, must be the redwoods.

Huh. Can I enter?

Hm… Unlike your old Psychic Shrine, this one has an open door. Looks like you can go in.

Wait.. you top the stairs and find a wall of fire blocking the way. Okay… weird. Wait again… there's a lever. Okay, it's opening… it's opening… it wasn't a fire wall, it was a fire door. Right. Okay… that's kinda cool.

Well, let's get to the pokemon center so I can meet and name my Riolu properly. Just letting him pop out in the street might be dangerous.

"How do you do that? Is it anything like the Psychic shrine back home?"

Well, I didn't take the PokePuffs, now did I?
I'll pat his head a bit.
"So, how do you feel about the name 'Lucas?'"

 No.1281

>>1279
"Ah, you come from the Psychic Shrine. No… we honor our Fire types in a different way. Fire is naturally alive and chaotic… here we give it that freedom. If you want to know more, you'll have to beat some of the attendants here in the shrine… but I recommend you gain some strength, first."

>>1280
Riolu blinks at you, but shakes its head at the patting. You should know better! Pats, bad, clockwise rubbing, good!

 No.1282

Fine, fine, clockwise it is. Maybe throw in an ear scratch ever fifth circle or so.

You return to the BNB but it is pretty picked over by now.

I'll nod.
"Mind if I drop my stuff from the dorm somewhere? I just need to sort that out and then I'll be good to go. Though if you've got any Puff or Poffin recipes tucked away somewhere, those might be useful. And a map?"

 No.1295

I'll make a mental note to swing by route 4 to pick up a grass-type like Skiddo, since I don't have a bike. And Cyan City might be a good second stop.
Once I drop off the box of stuff, and rifle through it for anything of use, I'll collect the stuff Mom prepared, thank her, and head out the door with Lucas.

Heinz continues dancing about cheerfully. Ah, well, you just met him.

All of the Gyms are in the Core Cities, of course. As one who was born in the Core Cities, that makes you a "Ringer" to the more rural folk.

Onwards to your Pokemon Adventure! She gives you a hug before you go.

Hugs are good. It's probably going to be the last one I give her for a while, so I'll make sure I hug back.

 No.1301

Route 5… some call it the Trash Route. It's certainly urban.

This place is full of Trubbish and Grimer. You see a pod of Koffing float across the sky above you. If you're really lucky, you might find a Jynx or a Porygon here. Artists frequently hike south this way from Phlox for the local Smeargle population, but the real prize that draws attention all the way from Amber City is the occasional Ditto.

I shake my head.
"Not a care in the world. You're an example for us both, Heinz."

 No.1303

Well, I don't want Lucas getting poisoned this early on. I'll need a psychic type to get through most of these poison types without terrible losses.
"Okay, change of plan. We're going to go hunting for a psychic type. Which means we're going back into town and then onto the North Road. Should be something good there."

 No.1304

>>1302
Heinz gives you a winning smile.

Millie continues her thoughtful "look".

>>1303
Ah… North Road. The smell of Redwood is thick in the air. The ground is quite rich here, and the mighty Red Forest lies ahead. If you traverse it all, you'll be at Crimsonborough.

North Road is famous for a mix of fire and psychic. Most notably the Larvesta population, but the Red Forest is well known for gatherings of interesting fire and psychic types, drawn to the rich landscape.

Sounds perfect. Let's go rustle some grass.

Now… the pokemarkt. How much money do I have again? What can I buy?

 No.1333

… at this point, should I risk my only pokeball on the wild chance of catching him at full health? Ah, what the heck. Worst it can do is get away. Pokeball, go! '1d10'

You totally miss!

You can spend a round recovering a Pokeball. Any Pokeballs that failed are auto picked up at end of combat.

Well, time to pick up my ball and rustle some more grass. '1d10'

>>1334
Ah, not enough to buy both! I still have my potion though, right? Or did I use it already? Hmmm… let's just buy another pokeball to make things easier.

Once that's dealt with, I'll go back to the factory cave for further training!

Huh? Oh, you stepped on an Espurr. It doesn't seem to care much, though.

Noted. You hike back up.

Can I find the part of the cavern I was in before?

 No.1341

You hike back to where you were before… it looks like there was a cave in. If you had access to Strength, you could move these boulder with ease.

Espurr used Scratch.

Backtrack then and find another way to explore!

Oh no! Foe Espurr evaded the attack!

…Okay, that was a miss on Cinder's part. Espurr is hardly moving. And scratches again.

Let's see… there's the dark route and the loud route.

 No.1345

I've went down the loud route but… I don't think I've properly explored the dark one! It's a bit scary though… but let's see what Pokémon we can find!

Think you've got those backwards there, Wf.
Grimace a little.

No, that was the grinding route!

Down the dark route… This is advanced darkness. Your 'Dex light flickers… and seems to penetrate little of the darkness before you… you think you detect something moving in there.

>>1346
I should sleep very soon.

A scratch and ember trade!

Okay, it isn't using psychic attacks, so maybe it hasn't learned any yet.
"Okay, Cinder, you did great! Come on back."
I'll send Lucas out again.
"Okay Lucas, same as last time. Just need to weaken it some more and we'll have a new partner!

 No.1350

>>1348
You trip face first into the advanced darkness. Your dex light goes out and it slides across the floor. Ratattas… that's going to be hard to find.

>>1349
Another scratch. What a monotonous life.

You can only afford one…

You buy it anyway.

Hiking down the north road at day is much different than night. Light streams through these noble redwoods. You think you see a pack of Growlithe making their way through the woods – over a nearby stream.

You can hear the bird Pokemon are out in force, too… Chirping somewhere up in the canopy above.
