I still remember how it started. Red thought Bulbasaur was a terrible choice, probably because he got Squirtle, but I aced the first three gyms and he changed his tune pretty quickly.
We battled more zubats and tentacruels than I thought possible, as well as finding some poor bloke's false teeth... the rest is all a blur, to be honest. I remember it started getting a bit boring after I caught Mewtwo and Red spent ages trying to find Mew under that lorry.

They said I had a blazing spirit. Now I'm practically an iceberg. If Green wasn't with me, I might've gone mute, and I barely get through ten sentences a day anyway.

...There's someone climbing. Green, grab your balls! ...Your poké-balls. Get your mind out of- oh, forget it! I'll battle her alone!
