Pokemon: Charmander - To Viridian City

2018-06-11T07:23:21Z

HukuSiStar:

The walk to Viridan City is longer than you remembered. You and David spend most of the time in a comfortable silence, which is weird considering that you both just met. Every so often he points out a Pokemon in a tree, or you'll point out a Pokemon behind a bush, and you'll both try to get closer to it before it scurries away. That's fine by you, you're in no hurry to use your remaining 5 Pokeballs, especially because you just got Charmander, and you don't even know him all that well you. But he seems like a pretty cool litte companion. About halfway through the journey, David takes his Totidile out of it's Pokeball, and you watch Charmander interact with the water type. Both are quite curious about one another, but soon enough, emulate their trainers and become friends.

Suddenly, you remember that you have a Pokedex, and you whip it out. You want to get some information about Pokemon you've seen before you get to Viridian, and David is fine with that. To the left, there's a small field with some Pidgeys and Ratattas grazing, and to the right, there's a couple of trees where you'll find a Caterpie or two without much trouble.

'''"I guess I want to become a gym leader."''' Of course you'd want to become a gym leader. You get a lot of satisfaction in being in control of things, and being in control of a gym would show your strength regarding your Pokemon knowledge.

'''"Interesting."''' David says. '''"It would be hard... but it would be worth it. In that case, you're in for a lot of traveling. So we might as well get going with that."'''

You agree, and in somewhat of a hurry, begin the real journey.

Pokemon: Get in the lab already!

2016-07-13T03:20:37Z

HukuSiStar:

You shake off any and all nerves that you had. You take a deep breath. "'''Here we go Ryan. This is it.'''"

You open the door to the lab, and walk inside. You can hear machines of all kinds whirling around, and Professor Oak's voice from inside the lab. You walk closer and closer to the sound of his voice. It seems that he is video chatting with someone. Eventually, you find him in a back room somewhere, and you knock on the door frame. He jumps a little, before turning around. '''"Ah, Ryan, you've finally arrived. How wonderful!"''' He turns back to his computer and says a quick couple of words, before ending the video call and turning to you. '''"How are you Ryan?"'''

'''"I'm good, Professor. How are you?"'''

'''"Old, but good."'''

The longer you look at the Professor, the more his words start to take shape. He is absolutely right. He is getting old. You remember being eight years old, meeting him for the first time at a parade in town. He looked much younger then. Now, his hair was completely grey, and he was balding. He had many more wrinkles than he had years ago. He even moved with a slower, older, gait than before. But his eyes were still as young as the day he first discovered the wonders Pokémon. Not that you know how he looked, you only met him eight years ago. Half your life ago. You've known the Professor for half your life.

You remember being 10 and coming the the lab to watch him give Pokémon to your friends when they turned 10, and desperately wanting one, but not being able to have one.

You remember being 12 and helping out at the lab, doing odd jobs for the Professor when his intern was out.

You remember being 13 and helping the Professor clear snow from all the Pokémon habitats after the biggest snowstorm of that decade.

You remember being 15 and signing on as an intern, full-time, without your parent's knowledge.

And now, here you are, 16 years old, getting to chose your Pokémon partner.

'''"I'm sure you would like to skip the formalities and start the process to getting your Pokémon."''' Oak says. You nod, smiling. '''"Well, you know that Pokémon are special creatures. You've spent years learning about Pokemon. You know how to use Pokéballs. So, this is the most important question of your life. Which Pokémon do you want?"''' Oak holds out three Pokéballs, each one containing a Pokémon. Now, you must chose.

Do you want:

*[[Pokemon: Charmander]]

*[[Pokemon: Squirtle]]

*[[Pokemon: Bulbasaur]]

Pokemon: Ryan

2016-07-13T03:20:03Z

HukuSiStar:

You yawn, as you slowly wake up. Outside, you can hear the Pidgeys singing. It must be very early in the morning, because, while it is light outside, you cannot see the sun over the mountains. You open your eyes and glance at the calendar on your wall, and suddenly, as you realize what day it is, you feel your heart pumping 5 times harder. Yesterday was your 16th birthday. And today, on the first full day of 16, you are ready to start your very own Pokémon journey. Yeah, yeah, you are aware that you are starting your journey a couple years late... okay like, 6 years late. But that's not your fault, that one is all on your parents. But you're a persistent boy, which isn't surprising considering your parents are as persistent as you. That's definitely where you get your persistence, from your father (who was persistently telling you that you could not adventure on your own until you were of age) and from your mother (who was persistently telling you that you shouldn't give up). This all led to today, you, adventuring on your own 2 years before coming of age ("haha, suck it dad. Just kidding, love you old man.") You. Ryan Yoshizumi, finally going out on your own.

You sit in bed for a couple minutes, just thinking about all the grand adventures you were about to have. Would it be hard? Yes. Would you miss your home, your family, your friends? Heck yes. Would it all be worth it in the end? Definitely.

Your alarm clock rings at 7. It's strange to think that this is the last time your alarm is going to ring in the morning. This is the last time that you are going to hear the familiar chimes it sends out to wake you up. This is the last time you're going to roll out of your bed. The last time you're going to make it. The last time you're going to shower in the shower you've always know, the last time you're going to get dressed, the last time you're going to look at your room. (''At least, until I come back.'') You take one last glance at the room that you have always known before flipping the light and closing the door. After a moment, the door opens, and you come running inside, grabbing your backpack, and then closing the door.

In the kitchen, your mother has made you one last good-bye breakfast, eggs, bacon, and hash browns... her favorite. Not yours. Weird. She's sipping coffee in a cup and reading the newspaper. You think it's weird that this is the last time that you're going to see her do that, even though you've seen it happen endlessly for about 5,000 days now. "'''Ryan, eat some breakfast,'''" she tells you without looking up. You do as your told. Obviously, your father has already left for work, but that doesn't surprise you. He lost this battle, and while he loves you, he couldn't manage to see his son off with his tail between his legs.

Finally, after you wash your plate, it's 8 o'clock. Your mother looks at you. You can see that she's holding back tears. "'''Ryan... where do I even start. You're my baby-'''"

"'''Mom-'''" you try interrupting, but she just interrupts you right back.

"'''Let me finish, Ryan.'''" She takes a breath. You say nothing. '''"You are my baby. When I gave birth to you 16 years ago, I was so overjoyed. You bring me joy Ryan. I want you to know that. You're my blonde haired, blue-eyed baby, and I'm going to be proud of you no matter what you do out there, Ryan. Always know that.'''" It made you a bit uncomfortable that she was calling you baby when you outgrew her by 5 inches three years ago.

You say what she couldn't say, "'''I love you too Mom.'''"

As you walk away, you're slightly worried that she will forget about you. No... no that's not it. You're worried she will replace you with someone or something else. And that's when you realize that you have an overactive imagination, and that something like that would never happen. At least, not with your mom. Your father is a completely different story.

It's very nice outside today. The sky is wonderfully blue. You're sure that it means good luck on your journey. Now, if it was raining, that would mean that something was out of wack. But not today. Today is perfect, you are perfect, it is perfect.

Most roads in Kanto are still dirt with hilly embankments on either side, and you are perfectly fine with that. A light dust trail follows you on your pathway. In the trees surrounding the path, there are numerous bird Pokémon flying around, making noise and doing their own thing. One day, maybe one of these Pokémon might belong to you. You smile at the thought. Eventually, you pass a small pond. You stop to glance at your reflection. A 5'7", 16 year old, blond haired, blue-eyed kid smiles at you. Essentially, ''you'' are smiling at you. Sometimes you couldn't even recognize yourself, you're so unconvinced that you are no longer a 12 year old wannabe. You can't really remember growing up so quickly. You take a breath and walk away from the pond, finally seeing the lab in the distance.

Pokemon: Charmander - Don't accept the battle

2015-07-01T07:54:18Z

HukuSiStar:

After a long moment, you decided that you're not going to battle these guys. You look to the kid whose name you don't know and sigh. Then you look down at Charmander. '''"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to battle these guys for you. You got yourself into this mess, now you have to get yourself out of it."'''

Wow, Ryan, this doesn't sound like the Ryan your mom talked about just a few hours ago. Are you already letting the big, bad world change you into someone you're not? The boy looks like he's going to cry.

Pokemon: It's Charmander

2015-07-01T07:53:18Z

HukuSiStar:

Out of the Pokéball comes Charmander. Your Charmander is a boy. He looks up to see you and seems very excited that you're his new trainer. He yawns, and then smiles at you. '''"Char char."''' You smile back at him.

'''"What's up Charmander? How are you? You excited about today?"''' You ask him, while you start walking forward. There is only one route out of Pallet town, and it's to Viridian City. You've been there many times before, a couple times by yourself even, running errands for your parents and the Professor, but you've never thought that you wouldn't be coming back. ''Oye, Ryan, that sounds a bit morbid. Knock it off.'' Charmander walks next to you, and both of you are very quiet, but it's a comfortable silence. You're just following your feet, looking at the scenery that surrounds you.

You are walking with Charmander, when you hear a shout and then a laugh. You look to Charmander, and you both speed up the pace and walk over to where the noise came from. You motion for Charmander to be quiet, and peek around from behind a tree. In an open field, you see four guys. There is one very tall, very scrawny boy with a darkish, golden hair. Opposite of him are the three other boys, shorter than him, but all of them more bulky and more intimating. There was one boy in front of the two others, and they all had their arms crossed in front of their chests. ''I know these guys. They're gamblers. They bully kids into fighting them, and if they lose, they take the kid's Pokémon. What are they doing in Pallet though?'' You try to listen to what they're saying to each other. It's quiet, so you can make out what they're saying, but just barely.

'''"Man, please give my Totodile back to me. She was a gift, from my aunt, and I mean, I'd really be disappointing her if I just let you take-"'''

'''"We ain't taking your Pokémon from ya, you lost it to us."''' You can't hear what they're saying anymore, so you lean in further, and that's when you hear a branch break. The four boys look at you, and you smile at them. Then, the tall, scrawny boy comes running over to you. You look around to make sure you're the one he's running towards but there are no other people around so you're all that's out here.

'''"Hey hi hey."''' He says to you. He's only a couple inches taller than you, up close, but he looks very tall from far away. '''"I need your help. All you have to do is take your cute little Charmander and battle those guys for me."'''

'''"Woah woah woah, wait, what, no no no, I cannot do-"''' He's dragging you over to them before you can explain anything.

'''"Alright, alright, guys, this is my good buddy..."'''

'''"Um... Ryan. Hi."'''

'''"Right, anyway, Ryan is going to fight you for Totodile back."''' The other three boys stare at you for a moment, and you can feel them tearing you apart. You try to keep from shaking, so you just smile. These boys are very unnerving.

Then they smile back at you. '''"Okay, sure. You can fight us for Totodile, but if you lose, we're taking your little Charmander, and you're not getting him back."''' They offer, and your eyes widen. Charmander hides behind you. You just got Charmander an hours ago, you can't lose him already. You turn to the taller boy whose name you still don't know and widen your eyes. He walks up to you and pulls you into a small sidebar.

'''"Look, you'll be fine. Just fight him."'''

'''"Um... I don't think you understand, I just got Charmander today, I can't fight these guys without losing."'''

He looks at you for a moment. '''"Have you ever lost before?"'''

'''"I've never even battled before!"'''

'''"Well then don't start losing,"''' he whispers to you before looking up at the other boys.

What will you do?

'''"Alright,"''' you say, pushing Charmander forward gently. '''"Let's battle."'''

The other boys grin, and they step back to allow room for the battle. Their leader pulls a Pokéball from his belt and you take a deep breath. This is going to be your first battle and this could decide the fate of both you and Charmander. '''"I choose you,"''' the leader calls out, and you brace yourself for something strong and powerful. '''"Caterpie!"'''

You almost want to laugh but you're in enough trouble with these guys as it is. Still, it's like bringing a knife to a gun fight. Caterpie is just a grass type and Charmander is a fire type and even though Caterpie was probably at a higher level, you now had more confidence that you could actually win this battle. ''Well, they are Pokémon gamblers. No one eve accused them of being brilliant masterminds.''

'''"Go, Charmander,"''' you say, and Charmander jumps out in front of you, tail ember burning brightly. '''"Tackle Caterpie!"'''

Charmander runs straight for Caterpie who seems unaware of what is happening in battle at the moment. The other trainer yells '''"Caterpie, move out of the way!"''' and Caterpie is just able to dodge Charmander's attack.

'''"Charmander, again!"''' Charmander hits Caterpie from behind, sending him flying, but amazingly, Caterpie manages to stay upright and land on his feet. You grimace. Maybe this won't be as easy as you thought it would be. You take a breath, and then see that Caterpie is heading straight for Charmander. '''"Dodge, Charmander, dodge!"''' And Charmander manages to side-step the oncoming Caterpie. That's when you saw it, the opportunity to win. '''"Now Charmander!"''' you yell out, and Charmander runs at the Caterpie who is slightly off balance, knocking it down. Caterpie is dazed, and you win your first Pokémon battle. For a second everything is silent, and then the guy who you were fighting for is cheering loudly and blood is rushing in your ears and Charmander is dancing around.

'''"Haha! Take that!"''' The other trainer says to the dumbfounded leader of the gang. '''"I'll be taking this,"''' he said, taking what you suppose is his Totodile back. You lean down and pat Charmander on the head, congratulating him on his first victory. The gang grumbles, but throws a couple of bills on the ground, and they turn to walk into the treeline.

'''"Who's working at the poor store now?"''' The trainer calls after them, and you look up.

'''"You know,"''' you say, '''"you probably shouldn't aggravate them. They could always come back and just punch you in the face and steal your Pokémon."'''

'''"What, those guys? Nah. I went to school with them, they don't have the balls for that."''' He attaches his Pokéball to his belt as you stand up. '''"David Romanski. Have we met before?"'''

'''"I don't think so."'''

'''"Hm... okay. Well I was just visiting my aunt in town, and she gave me this Totodile and I was just heading back home now. Those guys started following me and when I asked them what they wanted they started hardcore guffing me."'''

'''"Um... Okay. Where are you from?"'''

'''"Saffron City. You headed anywhere near there?"'''

'''"I'm just going to Viridian City right now man."'''

'''"Oh, okay! That's the way I'm going. We should go together."'''

'''"I-"'''

''Well... I finally know his name. I mean, he doesn't seem like a bad guy, but I hardly know him. And I didn't think I'd have someone to travel with so soon.''

What will you do?

Pokemon: Charmander - Travel with David

2015-07-01T07:50:21Z

'''"Well..."''' you say. David looks at you with something like apprehension in his eyes. '''"Sure. Let's go to Viridian City together."'''

'''"Sweet!"''' He says. You're not sure what you've just done, but David seems like a pretty okay guy. ''He doesn't seem... mean or anything, he sounds like a pretty nice guy who was caught in a rough situation. And, I mean, it would be pretty nice to travel with someone, at least to Viridian City. Maybe it'll be a good thing.'' You look down at Charmander, who doesn't seem to mind the new travelling partner, and is instead picking the small flowers that grow in the grass. David was already walking down the path toward Viridian. Geez, this guy.

You jog to catch up with him, and Charmander trots along in front of you two, when you finally can walk in stride with David. Charmander seems very curious, and you and David have to pause every few steps so he can explore something that he sees, be it a bit of dirt that's been displaced, or a tree. David doesn't seem to mind, and you don't either.

You know that the path to Viridian City is not a particularly tough one. It's about an half hour away, ''forty-five minutes at this rate''. You're really starting to get out of town, as the last few houses of Pallet fade away into what's behind you, and the path leads upwards. There's going to be a hill to climb to get to Viridian, but it's not going to be hard. Maybe you'll even spot a few Pokémon along the way. After all, you do have five Pokéballs. You could easily start making a team here...

'''"So hey, that was your first battle, wasn't it?"''' David says. You were so busy thinking about the possible combinations to go with Charmander that you'd nearly forgotten that David was there.

'''"Yeah."'''

'''"Congrats on the win then, man. Did you get Charmander today, then? I know there was that little ceremony thing going on with Professor Oak."'''

'''"Yep. First day, first win."'''

'''"Hm... Are you a little old to get a starter Pokémon... or a little tall?"'''

You shrug your shoulders. '''"I guess. I don't think too much of it."'''

'''"Right. Okay. I don't either. I was just wondering."''' David and you walk a little further in the quite stillness of the mid-morning. Charmander is still scoping out what's around the pathway. '''"So like. What do you want to do, then? Like, do you want to fill the Pokédex? Do you want to beat all the gym leaders? Do you want to become a gym leader?"

You hadn't thought much of what you wanted to do, actually. So far, you were just along for the ride. But each option that David gave you was a very interesting and a very real goal that you could accomplish. You could fill the Pokédex-there are so many Pokémon and there are some that no one has ever seen before. In that way, you could be an explorer of new regions. Or you could be like Professor Oak and learn about Pokémon in the scientific sense. You could beat all of the gym leaders and prove how much you know about Pokémon. Or you could become a gym leader. The options were endless.

But what do you want to do?

Pokemon: It's Charmander

2015-07-01T07:47:41Z

HukuSiStar:

Out of the Pokéball comes Charmander. Your Charmander is a boy. He looks up to see you and seems very excited that you're his new trainer. He yawns, and then smiles at you. '''"Char char."''' You smile back at him.

'''"What's up Charmander? How are you? You excited about today?"''' You ask him, while you start walking forward. There is only one route out of Pallet town, and it's to Viridian City. You've been there many times before, a couple times by yourself even, running errands for your parents and the Professor, but you've never thought that you wouldn't be coming back. ''Oye, Ryan, that sounds a bit morbid. Knock it off.'' Charmander walks next to you, and both of you are very quiet, but it's a comfortable silence. You're just following your feet, looking at the scenery that surrounds you.

You are walking with Charmander, when you hear a shout and then a laugh. You look to Charmander, and you both speed up the pace and walk over to where the noise came from. You motion for Charmander to be quiet, and peek around from behind a tree. In an open field, you see four guys. There is one very tall, very scrawny boy with a darkish, golden hair. Opposite of him are the three other boys, shorter than him, but all of them more bulky and more intimating. There was one boy in front of the two others, and they all had their arms crossed in front of their chests. ''I know these guys. They're gamblers. They bully kids into fighting them, and if they lose, they take the kid's Pokémon. What are they doing in Pallet though?'' You try to listen to what they're saying to each other. It's quiet, so you can make out what they're saying, but just barely.

'''"Man, please give my Totodile back to me. She was a gift, from my aunt, and I mean, I'd really be disappointing her if I just let you take-"'''

'''"We ain't taking your Pokémon from ya, you lost it to us."''' You can't hear what they're saying anymore, so you lean in further, and that's when you hear a branch break. The four boys look at you, and you smile at them. Then, the tall, scrawny boy comes running over to you. You look around to make sure you're the one he's running towards but there are no other people around so you're all that's out here.

'''"Hey hi hey."''' He says to you. He's only a couple inches taller than you, up close, but he looks very tall from far away. '''"I need your help. All you have to do is take your cute little Charmander and battle those guys for me."'''

'''"Woah woah woah, wait, what, no no no, I cannot do-"''' He's dragging you over to them before you can explain anything.

'''"Alright, alright, guys, this is my good buddy..."'''

'''"Um... Ryan. Hi."'''

'''"Right, anyway, Ryan is going to fight you for Totodile back."''' The other three boys stare at you for a moment, and you can feel them tearing you apart. You try to keep from shaking, so you just smile. These boys are very unnerving.

Then they smile back at you. '''"Okay, sure. You can fight us for Totodile, but if you lose, we're taking your little Charmander, and you're not getting him back."''' They offer, and your eyes widen. Charmander hides behind you. You just got Charmander an hours ago, you can't lose him already. You turn to the taller boy whose name you still don't know and widen your eyes. He walks up to you and pulls you into a small sidebar.

'''"Look, you'll be fine. Just fight him."'''

'''"Um... I don't think you understand, I just got Charmander today, I can't fight these guys without losing."'''

He looks at you for a moment. '''"Have you ever lost before?"'''

'''"I've never even battled before!"'''

'''"Well then don't start losing,"''' he whispers to you before looking up at the other boys.

What will you do?

'''"Sweet!"''' He says. You're not sure what you've just done, but David seems like a pretty okay guy.

'''"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to battle these guys for you. You got yourself into this mess, now you have to get yourself out of it."'''

Wow, Ryan, this doesn't sound like the Ryan your mom talked about just a few hours ago. Are you already letting the big, bad world change you into someone you're not? The boy looks like he's going to cry.

Pokemon: Risk a battle

2015-07-01T07:22:37Z

HukuSiStar:

'''"Alright,"''' you say, pushing Charmander forward gently. '''"Let's battle."'''

The other boys grin, and they step back to allow room for the battle. Their leader pulls a Pokéball from his belt and you take a deep breath. This is going to be your first battle and this could decide the fate of both you and Charmander. '''"I choose you,"''' the leader calls out, and you brace yourself for something strong and powerful. '''"Caterpie!"'''

You almost want to laugh but you're in enough trouble with these guys as it is. Still, it's like bringing a knife to a gun fight. Caterpie is just a grass type and Charmander is a fire type and even though Caterpie was probably at a higher level, you now had more confidence that you could actually win this battle. ''Well, they are Pokémon gamblers. No one eve accused them of being brilliant masterminds.''

'''"Go, Charmander,"''' you say, and Charmander jumps out in front of you, tail ember burning brightly. '''"Tackle Caterpie!"'''

Charmander runs straight for Caterpie who seems unaware of what is happening in battle at the moment. The other trainer yells '''"Caterpie, move out of the way!"''' and Caterpie is just able to dodge Charmander's attack.

'''"Charmander, again!"''' Charmander hits Caterpie from behind, sending him flying, but amazingly, Caterpie manages to stay upright and land on his feet. You grimace. Maybe this won't be as easy as you thought it would be. You take a breath, and then see that Caterpie is heading straight for Charmander. '''"Dodge, Charmander, dodge!"''' And Charmander manages to side-step the oncoming Caterpie. That's when you saw it, the opportunity to win. '''"Now Charmander!"''' you yell out, and Charmander runs at the Caterpie who is slightly off balance, knocking it down. Caterpie is dazed, and you win your first Pokémon battle. For a second everything is silent, and then the guy who you were fighting for is cheering loudly and blood is rushing in your ears and Charmander is dancing around.

'''"Haha! Take that!"''' The other trainer says to the dumbfounded leader of the gang. '''"I'll be taking this,"''' he said, taking what you suppose is his Totodile back. You lean down and pat Charmander on the head, congratulating him on his first victory. The gang grumbles, but throws a couple of bills on the ground, and they turn to walk into the treeline.

'''"Who's working at the poor store now?"''' The trainer calls after them, and you look up.

'''"You know,"''' you say, '''"you probably shouldn't aggravate them. They could always come back and just punch you in the face and steal your Pokémon."'''

'''"What, those guys? Nah. I went to school with them, they don't have the balls for that."''' He attaches his Pokéball to his belt as you stand up. '''"David Romanski. Have we met before?"'''

'''"I don't think so."'''

'''"Hm... okay. Well I was just visiting my aunt in town, and she gave me this Totodile and I was just heading back home now. Those guys started following me and when I asked them what they wanted they started hardcore guffing me."'''

'''"Um... Okay. Where are you from?"'''

'''"Saffron City. You headed anywhere near there?"'''

'''"I'm just going to Viridian City right now man."'''

'''"Oh, okay! That's the way I'm going. We should go together."'''

'''"I-"'''

''Well... I finally know his name. I mean, he doesn't seem like a bad guy, but I hardly know him. And I didn't think I'd have someone to travel with so soon.''

What will you do?

2015-07-01T07:16:02Z

HukuSiStar:

Wow, glad you decided to stay in the Kanto region. It is your home region, after all. You grew up here. You know the most about this place. You're close enough to home that you could always travel back, in case you felt homesick. But you're not going to let that happen, are you? Because you're ready for this exciting, awesome, action packed adventure, aren't you? (also, traveling anywhere else probably would have cost money, huh? I mean, things aren't free, you know.) Speaking of money, you should probably take note of the new part at the bottom that shows you some cool stuff.

'''Location:''' Kanto - Pallet

'''Money:''' $500

You pull your backpack from your shoulders and kneel onto the ground so you can go through it. You packed it the night of your 16th birthday, because you knew that you were going to be too excited to pack it the next morning. You remember putting in the three Oran berries you spent the last couple of weeks growing into perfect berry orbs. You also remember putting the one potion that you bought from the store, as well as the potion your parents gave you for your 16th birthday. Your old map was rolled up into a cylinder. Man, did that thing hold some memories. You got it when you were so young, you cannot even put an age on it. You cannot actually remember a time when you did not have this map. And now, after all these years, it was coming along for the ride.

You stand up. You feel kind of lonely, even though you know that your Pokémon is at your belt. You know that Pokémon are typically supposed to stay in their Pokéballs, but maybe you can let yours out to walk with you for a little bit? Get some exercise on this nice, warm day?

As your fingers graze over the Pokéball, you suddenly feel a bond start to form, one of a Pokémon and his trainer. You're so excited. You can't believe that any of this is happening. In fact, it all feels like a dream. But you know it isn't, because this is real, you are real, it is ''real''.

After that point, Professor Oak reaches into his pocket and pulls out a highly advanced Pokédex and the average five Pokéballs that every new trainer starts with. '''"Here you are Ryan. Take these."''' You eagerly take the items he holds out for you. Well, this is the end of the road for you and Professor Oak, for now. You thank him.

'''"Charmander, again!"''' Charmander hits Caterpie from behind, sending him flying, but amazingly, Caterpie manages to stay upright and land on his feet. You grimace. Maybe this won't be as easy as you thought it would be. You take a breath, and then see that Caterpie is heading straight for Charmander. '''"Dodge, Charmander, dodge!"''' And Charmander manages to side-step the oncoming Caterpie. That's when you saw it, the opportunity to win. '''"Now Charmander!"''' you yell out, and Charmander runs at the Caterpie who is slightly off balance, knocking it down. Caterpie is dazed, and you win your first Pokémon battle. For a second everything is silent, and then the guy who you were fighting for is cheering loudly and blood is rushing in your ears and Charmander is dancing around.

'''"Haha! Take that!"''' The other trainer says to the dumbfounded leader of the gang. '''"I'll be taking this,"''' he said, taking what you suppose is his Totodile back. You lean down and pat Charmander on the head, congratulating him on his first victory. The gang grumbles, but throws a couple of bills on the ground, and they turn to walk into the treeline.

'''"Who's working at the poor store now?"''' The trainer calls after them, and you look up.

'''"You know,"''' you say, '''"you probably shouldn't aggravate them. They could always come back and just punch you in the face and steal your Pokémon."'''

'''"What, those guys? Nah. I went to school with them, they don't have the balls for that."''' He attaches his Pokéball to his belt as you stand up. '''"David Romanski. Have we met before?"'''

'''"I don't think so."'''

'''"Hm... okay. Well I was just visiting my aunt in town, and she gave me this Totodile and I was just heading back home now. Those guys started following me and when I asked them what they wanted they started hardcore guffing me."'''

'''"Um... Okay. Where are you from?"'''

'''"Saffron City. You headed anywhere near there?"'''

'''"I'm just going to Viridian City right now man."'''

'''"Oh, okay! That's the way I'm going. We should go together."'''

'''"I-"'''

''Well... I finally know his name. I mean, he doesn't seem like a bad guy, but I hardly know him. And I didn't think I'd have someone to travel with so soon.''

What will you do?

Pokemon: It's Charmander

2015-07-01T06:19:18Z

HukuSiStar:

Out of the Pokéball comes Charmander. Your Charmander is a boy. He looks up to see you and seems very excited that you're his new trainer. He yawns, and then smiles at you. '''"Char char."''' You smile back at him.

'''"What's up Charmander? How are you? You excited about today?"''' You ask him, while you start walking forward. There is only one route out of Pallet town, and it's to Viridian City. You've been there many times before, a couple times by yourself even, running errands for your parents and the Professor, but you've never thought that you wouldn't be coming back. ''Oye, Ryan, that sounds a bit morbid. Knock it off.'' Charmander walks next to you, and both of you are very quiet, but it's a comfortable silence. You're just following your feet, looking at the scenery that surrounds you.

You are walking with Charmander, when you hear a shout and then a laugh. You look to Charmander, and you both speed up the pace and walk over to where the noise came from. You motion for Charmander to be quiet, and peek around from behind a tree. In an open field, you see four guys. There is one very tall, very scrawny boy with a darkish, golden hair. Opposite of him are the three other boys, shorter than him, but all of them more bulky and more intimating. There was one boy in front of the two others, and they all had their arms crossed in front of their chests. ''I know these guys. They're gamblers. They bully kids into fighting them, and if they lose, they take the kid's Pokémon. What are they doing in Pallet though?'' You try to listen to what they're saying to each other. It's quiet, so you can make out what they're saying, but just barely.

'''"Man, please give my Totodile back to me. She was a gift, from my aunt, and I mean, I'd really be disappointing her if I just let you take-"'''

'''"We ain't taking your Pokémon from ya, you lost it to us."''' You can't hear what they're saying anymore, so you lean in further, and that's when you hear a branch break. The four boys look at you, and you smile at them. Then, the tall, scrawny boy comes running over to you. You look around to make sure you're the one he's running towards but there are no other people around so you're all that's out here.

'''"Hey hi hey."''' He says to you. He's only a couple inches taller than you, up close, but he looks very tall from far away. '''"I need your help. All you have to do is take your cute little Charmander and battle those guys for me."'''

'''"Woah woah woah, wait, what, no no no, I cannot do-"''' He's dragging you over to them before you can explain anything.

'''"Alright, alright, guys, this is my good buddy..."'''

'''"Um... Ryan. Hi."'''

'''"Right, anyway, Ryan is going to fight you for Totodile back."''' The other three boys stare at you for a moment, and you can feel them tearing you apart. You try to keep from shaking, so you just smile. These boys are very unnerving.

Then they smile back at you. '''"Okay, sure. You can fight us for Totodile, but if you lose, we're taking your little Charmander, and you're not getting him back."''' They offer, and your eyes widen. Charmander hides behind you. You just got Charmander an hours ago, you can't lose him already. You turn to the taller boy whose name you still don't know and widen your eyes. He walks up to you and pulls you into a small sidebar.

'''"Look, you'll be fine. Just fight him."'''

'''"Um... I don't think you understand, I just got Charmander today, I can't fight these guys without losing."'''

He looks at you for a moment. '''"Have you ever lost before?"'''

'''"I've never even battled before!"'''

'''"Well then don't start losing,"''' he whispers to you before looking up at the other boys.

What will you do?

'''"So that's that. You've chosen Bulbasaur. Congratulations, Ryan."''' Professor Oak tells you, taking Bulbasaur's Pokéball and handing it to you. As your fingers graze over the Pokéball, you suddenly feel a bond start to form, one of a Pokémon and his trainer. You're so excited. You can't believe that any of this is happening. In fact, it all feels like a dream. But you know it isn't, because this is real, you are real, it is ''real''.

After that point, Professor Oak reaches into his pocket and pulls out a highly advanced Pokédex and the average six Pokéballs that every new trainer starts with. '''"Here you are Ryan. Take these."''' You eagerly take the items he holds out for you. Well, this is the end of the road for you and Professor Oak, for now. You thank him.

Pokemon: Get in the lab already!

2015-07-01T06:11:09Z

HukuSiStar:

You shake off any and all nerves that you had. You take a deep breath. ''Here we go Ryan. This is it.''

You open the door to the lab, and walk inside. You can hear machines of all kinds whirling around, and Professor Oak's voice from inside the lab. You walk closer and closer to the sound of his voice. It seems that he is video chatting with someone. Eventually, you find him in a back room somewhere, and you knock on the door frame. He jumps a little, before turning around. '''"Ah, Ryan, you've finally arrived. How wonderful!"''' He turns back to his computer and says a quick couple of words, before ending the video call and turning to you. '''"How are you Ryan?"'''

'''"I'm good, Professor. How are you?"'''

'''"Old, but good."'''

The longer you look at the Professor, the more his words start to take shape. He is absolutely right. He is getting old. You remember being eight years old, meeting him for the first time at a parade in town. He looked much younger then. Now, his hair was completely grey, and he was balding. He had many more wrinkles than he had years ago. He even moved with a slower, older, gait than before. But his eyes were still as young as the day he first discovered the wonders Pokémon. Not that you know how he looked, you only met him eight years ago. Half your life ago. You've known the Professor for half your life.

You remember being 10 and coming the the lab to watch him give Pokémon to your friends when they turned 10, and desperately wanting one, but not being able to have one.

You remember being 12 and helping out at the lab, doing odd jobs for the Professor when his intern was out.

You remember being 13 and helping the Professor clear snow from all the Pokémon habitats after the biggest snowstorm of that decade.

You remember being 15 and signing on as an intern, full-time, without your parent's knowledge.

And now, here you are, 16 years old, getting to chose your Pokémon partner.

'''"I'm sure you would like to skip the formalities and start the process to getting your Pokémon."''' Oak says. You nod, smiling. '''"Well, you know that Pokémon are special creatures. You've spent years learning about Pokemon. You know how to use Pokéballs. So, this is the most important question of your life. Which Pokémon do you want?"''' Oak holds out three Pokéballs, each one containing a Pokémon. Now, you must chose.

Do you want:

*[[Pokemon: Charmander]]

*[[Pokemon: Squirtle]]

As you well should. This is a lot to take in. You know, you can always go back home to your mother and live your life with her... okay. Well no, that's not a very good option. In fact, I'm not even going to give you that option. I know, I know, I'm breaking the fourth wall here, but Ryan, let me give you some advice. You're going to be fine. Sure, it's a tough world, but there aren't many 16 year old kids who are as persistent as you. That's going to get you somewhere. And you're willing to help out anyone and everyone who needs it. ('' at least, that's what your personality page says.''') That's pretty amazing kid. So don't fear. Okay? It'll all be okay. Go get it, man.

Pokemon: Ryan

2015-07-01T06:09:04Z

HukuSiStar:

You yawn, as you slowly wake up. Outside, you can hear the pidgeys singing. It must be very early in the morning, because, while it is light outside, you cannot see the sun over the mountains. You open your eyes and glance at the calender on your wall, and suddenly, as you realize what day it is, you feel your heart pumping 5 times harder. Yesterday was your 16th birthday. And today, on the first full day of 16, you are ready to start your very own Pokémon journey. Yeah, yeah, you are aware that you are starting your journey a couple years late... okay like, 6 years late. But that's not your fault, that one is all on your parents. But you're a persistent boy, which isn't surprising considering your parents are as persistent as you. That's definitely where you get your persistence, from your father (who was persistently telling you that you could not adventure on your own until you were of age) and from your mother (who was persistently telling you that you shouldn't give up). This all led to today, you, adventuring on your own 2 years before coming of age (''haha, suck it dad. Just kidding, love you old man.'') You. Ryan Yoshizumi, finally going out on your own.

You sit in bed for a couple minutes, just thinking about all the grand adventures you were about to have. Would it be hard? Yes. Would you miss your home, your family, your friends? Heck yes. Would it all be worth it in the end? Definitely.

Your alarm clock rings at 7. It's strange to think that this is the last time your alarm is going to ring in the morning. This is the last time that you are going to hear the familiar chimes it sends out to wake you up. This is the last time you're going to roll out of your bed. The last time you're going to make it. The last time you're going to shower in the shower you've always know, the last time you're going to get dressed, the last time you're going to look at your room. (''At least, until I come back.'') You take one last glance at the room that you have always known before flipping the light and closing the door. After a moment, the door opens, and you come running inside, grabbing your backpack, and then closing the door.

In the kitchen, your mother has made you one last good-bye breakfast, eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns... her favorite. Not yours. Weird. She's sipping coffee in a cup and reading the newspaper. You think it's weird that this is the last time that you're going to see her do that, even though you've seen it happened endlessly for about 5,000 days now. ''' "Ryan, eat some breakfast," ''' she tells you without looking up. You do as your told. Obviously, your father has already left for work, but that doesn't surprise you. He lost this battle, and while he loves you, he couldn't manage to see his son off with his tail between his legs.

Finally, after you wash your plate, it's 8 o'clock. Your mother looks at you. You can see that she's holding back tears. '''"Ryan... where do I even start. You're my baby-"'''

'''"Mom-"''' you try interrupting, but she just interrupts you right back.

'''"Let me finish, Ryan."''' She takes a breath. You say nothing. '''"You are my baby. When I gave birth to you 16 years ago, I was so overjoyed. You bring me joy Ryan. I want you to know that. You're my blonde haired, blue-eyed baby, and I'm going to be proud of you no matter what you do out there, Ryan. Always know that."''' It made you a bit uncomfortable that she was calling you baby when you outgrew her by 5 inches three years ago.

You say what she couldn't say, '''"I love you too Mom."'''

As you walk away, you're slightly worried that she will forget about you. No... no that's not it. You're worried she will replace you with someone or something else. And that's when you realize that you have an overactive imagination, and that something like that would never happen. At least, not with your mom. Your father is a completely different story.

It's very nice outside today. The sky is wonderfully blue. You're sure that it means good luck on your journey. Now, if it was raining, that would mean that something was out of wack. But not today. Today is perfect, you are perfect, it is perfect.

Most roads in Kanto are still dirt with hilly embankments on either side, and you are perfectly fine with that. A light dust trail follows you on your pathway. In the trees surrounding the path, there are numerous bird Pokémon flying around, making noise and doing their own thing. One day, maybe one of these Pokémon might belong to you. You smile at the thought. Eventually, you pass a small pond. You stop to glance at your reflection. A 5'7", 16 year old, blond haired, blue-eyed kid smiles at you. Essentially, ''you'' are smiling at you. Sometimes you couldn't even recognize yourself, you're so unconvinced that you are no longer a 12 year old wannabe. You can't really remember growing up so quickly. You take a breath and walk away from the pond, finally seeing the lab in the distance.

'''"Alright,"''' you say, pushing Charmander forward gently. '''"Let's battle."'''

The other boys grin, and they step back to allow room for the battle. Their leader pulls a Pokéball from his belt and you take a deep breath. This is going to be your first battle and this could decide the fate of both you and Charmander. '''"I choose you,"''' the leader calls out, and you brace yourself for something strong and powerful. '''"Caterpie!"'''

You almost want to laugh but you're in enough trouble with these guys as it is. Still, it's like bringing a knife to a gun fight. Caterpie is just a grass type and Charmander is a fire type and even though Caterpie was probably at a higher level, you now had more confidence that you could actually win this battle. ''Well, they are Pokémon gamblers. No one eve accused them of being brilliant masterminds.''

'''"Go, Charmander,"''' you say, and Charmander jumps out in front of you, tail ember burning brightly. '''"Tackle Caterpie!"'''

Charmander runs straight for Caterpie who seems unaware of what is happening in battle at the moment. The other trainer yells '''"Caterpie, move out of the way!"''' and Caterpie is just able to dodge Charmander's attack.

'''"Charmander, again!"''' Charmander hits Caterpie from behind, sending him flying, but amazingly, Caterpie manages to stay upright and land on his feet. You grimace. Maybe this won't be as easy as you thought it would be. You take a breath, and then see that Caterpie is heading straight for Charmander. '''"Dodge, Charmander, dodge!"''' And Charmander manages to side-step the oncoming Caterpie. That's when you saw it, the opportunity to win. '''"Now Charmander!"''' you yell out, and Charmander runs at the Caterpie who is slightly off balance, knocking it down. Caterpie is dazed, and you win your first Pokémon battle. For a second everything is silent, and then the guy who you were fighting for is cheering loudly and blood is rushing in your ears and Charmander is dancing around.

'''"Haha! Take that!"''' The other trainer says to the dumbfounded leader of the gang. '''"I'll be taking this,"''' he said, taking what you suppose is his Totodile back. You lean down and pat Charmander on the head, congratulating him on his first victory. The gang grumbles, but throws a couple of bills on the ground, and they turn to walk into the treeline.

'''"Who's working at the poor store now?"''' The trainer calls after them, and you look up.

'''"You know,"''' you say, '''"you probably shouldn't aggravate them. They could always come back and just punch you in the face and steal your Pokémon."'''

'''"What, those guys? Nah. I went to school with them, they don't have the balls for that."''' He attaches his Pokéball to his belt as you stand up. '''"David Romanski. Have we met before?"'''

'''"I don't think so."'''

'''"Hm... okay. Well I was just visiting my aunt in town, and she gave me this Totodile and I was just heading back home now. Those guys started following me and when I asked them what they wanted they started hardcore guffing me."'''

'''"Um... Okay. Where are you from?"'''

'''"Saffron City. You headed anywhere near there?"'''

'''"I'm just going to Viridian City right now man."'''

'''"Oh, okay! That's the way I'm going. We should go together."'''

'''"I-"'''

''Well... I finally know his name. I mean, he doesn't seem like a bad guy, but I hardly know him. And I didn't think I'd have someone to travel with so soon.''
