Jaren Headed into the Fortree city. "Hello boy. You are very early." "Really? I thought I would be late." "What starter PokИmon do you want?" "Can you show me where a Charmander is?" "You are lucky. There is only one left." "Yes! I got a Charmander!"
"Well, it was a long trip, but do you think it was worth it, Eevee?"
"Vee! Vee!"
"Yeah, I guess it will be nice to meet some new PokИmon. I'm thinking of maybe getting a job...actually earning some money..."
"Eevee?"
"Nah, just kidding. Let's have a look through there..."
"You're lucky. There▓s only one left."
"Yes, I got a charmander!"
"Eevee, do you know what those red balls on the table do?"
"Eve?"
"Charmander! Return!
"What? Where did that Charmander go?"
Eevee had lost interest in the conversation, and had started playing with a small blue and white ball that was lying on the ground. It tapped a button, and was sucked inside in a flash of blue light.
"Oh, so they hold PokИmon! What do you think of that, Eevee?"
Silence.
"Eevee?"
He started wandering around calling eevee's name. He then tripped on the blue and white ball.
"Vee!"
"Are you okay?"
"Eevee!"
"Oh, that's good. I wonder if we can get any more of these from that lab"
⌠How can I get PokИmon?" asked Jaren.
"Well, you need to faint a PokИmon and then throw this PokИball at it." replied the professor.
"So, I just throw it at the PokИmon?"
"Yes."
"I better take notes. I easily will forget this."
Pulls out a notepad.
"K, k, k, got it."
"Now remember, the PokИmon are usually in the grass, the tall grass hiding."
Eevee ran to the door of the lab, and started headbutting it.
"Hello," Said the professor, opening the door, ⌠Is this about another low priced Vacuum?"
"Uh...no. I was wondering if I can have any of those little red balls, I heard you can get PokИmon with them."
"You heard correctly. Jaren here has just received his first PokИmon. Are you looking to be a trainer?"
"Vee!"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Come in then."
((The third character in this story, not Sam or Jaren will be called..┘ until he is named.))
... sat down on a comfy looking chair. Eevee started running around, apparently playing tag with Charmander.
"So, as I was saying, it is much more common to find PokИmon in grass than on the path or in the city. In caves, and out at sea, they will appear frequently everywhere, although to find most of them at sea you will have to fish or go diving."
"Cool! I've always wanted to go scuba diving!" said Jaren.
"Not quite my meaning. You will need some PokИmon to help you get down. Most of them trap bubbles in their fur or feathers, so you can breathe with them for quite a while. About 2 hours. So, here are 5 PokИballs each. To register as an official trainer, you will have to go to either Lilycove or Mauville PokИmon Center. I'd recommend Lilycove, you don't have to cross water."
"Okay," said Jaren, "I guess we'll be traveling buddies."
"Okay, I'm fine with that."
"Really?"
"Sure, why not?"
"So, let's see what pokemon we have."
"Let's see, I have a Vulpix."
"Vul. Vul."
"There's another playmate for ya Mudkip!"
"Kip! Kip!"
"Thanks for the PokИballs, professor. Um... Jaren?"
"Yes?"
"Could you show me how to catch a PokИmon?"
"Alright, come outside. I'll show you on the way to Lilycove."
They walked around for a bit, just outside Fortree.
"See that pond there?" said Jaren
"Yeah?"
"That, is one of the places where PokИmon hide. Fortunately, I know just how to get them."
Jaren pulled a rather dirty and old looking rod out of his bag.
"How did that fit in there?"
"It's a collapsible rod. Like my bike."
"You have a bike?"
"Yeah, but stop talking so loud, you're scaring the PokИmon."
The end of the rod started shaking.
"Ah, I see we got something!" said Jaren, triumphantly.
He yanked the rod out of the water, and the Magikarp started flopping around, after it dropped off the hook.
"Stupid thing. I always get them." he said, and then kicked it back into the pond.
The Magikarp started to glow.
"What's happening?"
"Evolution!" yelled Jaren, already running.
"Why are you running? What can something like that turn into?"
"THAT!"
Jaren pointed at the huge gyarados now in the pond. It's mouth started to glow.
"RUN!" yelled Jaren, from a safe vantage point.
...scrambled backwards.
"Vee?" said Eevee, who had just noticed that its trainer was in danger.
"Vee!" Eevee started to glow.
Eevee got bigger, and changed shape slightly, and when the glow faded...
"Espe!"
"An espeon!" said Jaren.
A purple glow surrounded espeon just as the Hyper Beam was going to hit its trainer. The hyper beam doubled back on itself, and hit the gyarados, which fainted. ... threw one of the empty PokИballs at it.
It rocked once, twice, then was silent.
"WHAT! That's incredible! You evolved your starter and caught a gyarados - A GYARADOS - on your first day!"
"Hey, you can have the gyarados," ... said as he tossed the pokИball containing gyarados to jaren, "You were the one who fished it after all. And I've had espeon for years, but she was an eevee then, so it's surprising she hasn't evolved before now."
"Whoa! Thanks!"
"No problem. I think we're gonna get along fine."
"Wait? Where's Sam?"
"Oh, man! They left without me!" said sam, still in the lab.
"Okay, I think we▓re good." said Jaren.
"Wait a minute... Where is Sam?" said Larry.
"This can't be good. We left him behind."
"Sam! Sam?"
Meanwhile...
"AHHHHHHHHHH!! HELP ME!"
Sam hides behind a bush.
"AARGH! HELP!"
"That must be him! Come on!" shouted Jaren.
"Wait, we can use our PokИmon to scout right?"
"Oh yeah! Go vulpix!"
"Vul?"
"Find Sam!"
"Vul."
The fox PokИmon put it's nose to the ground and started sniffing, like a dog.
"Vul!"
The fox ran off. Jaren and ... ran after it.
"Go, Espeon!"
"Espe?"
"Help Vulpix find Sam!"
"Oh. Look at that." said Jaren.
"What?"
"He's being attacked by a Feebas."
"Oh."
"AAAAARGH! FISH!" yelled Sam, flailing around on a river bank with the Feebas doing much the same thing beside him.
"Come on Sam, catch it!"
"AAARGH!"
Sam's Mudkip popped out of it's PokИball.
"Kip?"
"Mudkip! Save me!"
Mudkip hit the feebas with a tackle. The feebas fainted instantly. Espeon levitated a PokИball out of Sam's bag, and Vulpix tapped it towards Feebas. The unconsious feebas was sucked inside in a flash of red light.
It didn't even rock.
"What happened? Where did it go?" asked Sam.
"You caught it. Or, your PokИmon did." said Jaren.
"Kip!"
"Anyway, why are you so scared of fish?"
"I'm not scared of fish."
"You were flailing around screaming about a worthless Magikarp clone."
"No I wasn't."
"Yes you were."
"Much as I enjoy watching you two argue, we really need to get to Lilycove PokИmon Center. Espeons a bit tired after evolution, and Jarens gyarados needs something to calm it down a bit. And we all need to register as trainers." said ...
"Good point. Hang on, did you say gyarados?" said sam.
"A little bit happened while you were catching up to us."
"Is that Lilycove?"
"No, that's Mt. Pyre."
"Who're those people in the red hoods near the pier?"
