I managed to cram all the boring intro stuff into a single update. Go me.Well, I guess I'd better get going. With some luck, I'll get this over with quickly enough to have dinner tonight.
I have no idea what this man is talking about.
Hmm, maybe I could eat it just to calm my stomach...
...Then again, I'm fairly sure it would, at the very least, put me into a coma, so I'd rather not.
Here we are, Nettles. Cherrygrove City... Soon we'll be at that Pokémon guy's place and then we can get back home and eat something. Unless Elm doesn't let me keep you. I dunno, he didn't even tell me what he wants me to do with you.
Uh, I'm not really a trainer...
I... guess so.
Well... Sure. I guess that's the nicest thing someone has done for me today. Or the whole week. Maybe the whole month.
Yeah, that's common knowledge... I don't look THAT dumb, do I?
I can read... Prized Pokémon? I thought the only trainers on Route 30 were like... bug catchers and the like.
Ha, I
see what you did there.
...I'm sorry, I won't do that again.Aww, you're welcome, really.
I didn't really do anything, but thank you anyway.
So, that guy mistook me for a trainer... I don't think I'd mind becoming a Pokémon trainer, you know. I mean, Nettles seems to like me. I'm starting to get attached to her, too. Of course, if I want to become a real trainer, I'll need...
...And yet another one of my countless hopes and dreams has been shattered.
I guess I should just get back to my errand.
ohmygodthat'sthecutestthingI'veeverseenandIneedoneassoonasIfindsomepokéballs
People should be more careful with their possessions.
A Rattata nibbling on a Pidgey. Sure looks... big.
I think God's sending me a message. Maybe he's trying to tell me that there are dangerous, poisonous things around, like...
AAAAAAGH NO NO NO NO
TO MR. POKÉMON'S HOUSE
Yeah, although I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to be doing.
Is it an ancient artefact of great importance? A DNA sample possibly belonging to a legendary Pokémon? =O
...Oh.
I'm no expert on this, but since people leave their Pokémon on daycare centres all the time... Wouldn't it be safe to assume this is a Pokémon egg?
ARGH WHERE DID YOU COME FROM oh I guess you were just over there
Oh, you were in my bedroom just a while ago!... I mean... Uh... Never mind.
Why does everyone know about me?Really? Could you explain it to me, then? Because I'm still kinda clueless about it, unless it's just because of all the wild Pokémon out there.
But how am I contributing to his research?
Uh...
Oh, cool, I've heard about those before. Why are you...
W-Wait. WAIT.
...Is this legal?I'm starting to see a pattern here.
Uh... What happened?
...Well, I guess I had to go there anyway.
We're almost there, Nettles, we're almost... Oh God, it's that guy again.
...Please don't stare at me like that.
Uh, yeah. Yeah, I did. So what?
Could you please be quick? I have some stuff to do, and...
Oh. Erm...
You... You can handle some fire, right, Nettles? Please say yes.
Well, it looks like that Cyndaquil doesn't know any fire attacks yet. We'll be fine after a-
OH MY GOD IS THAT HEAT VISION?!
Thank you, Nettles.
...I-I'm sorry, did I hear that right? Did you just say your name is...
You don't have to shove me just because I think your name's funny...
Oh, no. I think Elm found out the truth about that window.
...Oh. OH.
He STOLE that Cyndaquil? Man, what a jerk.
I... Well...
I-I'm serious. That's his name.
Why are you looking at me like that?No need to sound so sarcastic, I'm telling the truth...
I know. What kind of cruel father would name a boy "Maggie"?
Oh, it's just an egg. Most likely a Pokémon egg.
Yeah, that's what I said. Anyway, Professor Oak was there too and he...
...How do you know that?
Seriously, how did you...
Are you sure? He just kinda looked at me and shoved it into my pocket.
Uh, what about this Chikorita? Are you officially giving it to me for good, or...
...Well, okay...
What do you want from me? D8
...Oh. Well, thank you. I needed those.
Yeah, Elm gave it to me. Now he wants me to wander around Johto all by myself beating gym leaders and such, and that Oak guy wants me to catch every single Pokémon in the world.
I... I guess you can call it that.
...
Thanks, mom.Well, Nettles... I said I wanted to become a trainer anyway, didn't I?
...Of course I'm not letting myself be bossed around. Don't look at me like that.
And finally we can catch things. Whoo.
This update probably sounds a bit uninspired, and that's probably because I'm a bit ill. I wanted to get this done today, you see. Ah well.
On an unrelated note, I'm also playing Emerald now. I FINALLY FOUND A MODEST FEEBAS HELL YEAH NOW WHY CAN'T BERRIES GROW FASTER
