Alright, Bianca, Cheren and I all went to Route 1 and I said, upon getting near the sign, "Hey guys, how about we all take our first step onto Route 1 simultaneously?" Cheren then said, "Yeah, that's a great idea!" Bianca also agreed so, we did it. Started a journey. Quite literally took our first step into it, leaving me proud. The first thing Bianca blurted was, "Hey, some tall grass! We can all get our second team member here! I said, "Uh… I've seen some 'mons here. They're not that great… But, Snivy could grind a bit on them to get to lucky level 7." So, I helped Snivy grind on Patrat and Lillipup. We had to stop 2 XP short of level 7 because Snivy used up all her PP. So, I said, "We need to heal you up. I'm sure there is something in Accumula Town." We quickly ran there and met Professor Juniper, who greeted us with, "Hello again, Matt! I should have shown this to you a while ago, but here it is. The hot spring for all Pokémon Trainers is this! The Pokémon Center! Let me show you around this place."

We entered a green building with clear walls. Inside on the first floor were these: a green large PC, a table with glass cubes to put up to six Poké Balls in with some tubes into which I saw a nurse pouring in some liquid that resembled olive oil, healing the Pokémon in the balls, and red shelf with Trainer's tools. At the top floor were the "global facilities." However, Juniper only explained the bottom floor: "Matt, this is a Pokémon Center, the general store of Trainers. If you talk to this lady here, she'll heal your Pokémon free of charge. I think you should." I asked the lady, "Hello, please heal my Snivy!" She proudly did this, and Snivy was healed. Then Juniper said, "Isn't it magical? Anyways, let's move on to the shop. You can buy many good resources here, but to get the better ones, you need to have more badges. The basic items you don't need badges for are Potions that heal on the go and Poké Balls to catch Pokémon, OK?" I said OK but before leaving, Juniper asked, "By the way, you never nicknamed your starter. Would you like to do that?" I said, "Totally!" After thinking for two and a half minutes, I made a name that might seem too masculine. Guess. It's named after what chains are made of. It's named after a hero in green with a sword. And its name is Link. When I said that, Juniper said, "Isn't Link a dude? Well, it is your choice. Oh, but one last thing before you leave. I'd to give you something that I only give to autistic Trainers. And, since you are lucky 256, here it is." She gave me an odd-looking Poké Ball. She said, "This is imported all the way from the Sinnoh region! The Heal Ball restores all the health and moves of the Pokémon caught in it!" I was amazed, thanked Juinper, and left. Then, I met the worst idiots of all time.

Outside, I ran into Cheren, who said, "Look, there are some guys on that podium in TERRIBLE outfits. The old guy with an even worse fashion in front of them wants to make a speech." We joined the audience and listened to the old man. "Greetings," he said. "My name is Ghetsis, and I am the father of the boss of an organization some of you may already know about. We're Team Plasma." More like Team Plagiarism, I thought. This Ghetsis guy continued, "For those of you who already know, don't spoil. We want to tell everyone else for you. What we focus on is the rights of Pokémon. I know that there are over fifty million Trainers in the Unova region alone. And even more Pokémon get captured and forced to fight by these so-called Trainers. The reason Trainers say they make them fight is usually because they try to bond with their Pokémon. I, oops, I mean we digress. Pokémon Trainers, such as the wildly popular in Hoenn Emile and 'oh-so-ideal' Champion Red of Kanto, really make their Pokémon fight is just to have a good time at the expense of the Pokémon they have stolen from Mother Earth. Our mission is to take ALL of Unova's caught Pokémon and set them free from ill-disciplined, malicious Trainers. Would anybody like to make comments, questions, or concerns?" Well, I was the only one who raised his or her hand. When Ghetsis called on me, I started an instant motor mouth. "I think that you have potential, but you're definitely in the wrong direction, and that this is breeding grounds for communism, hence why I call you team Plagiarism, and you, sir, Dennis." Well, Dennis was amazed, and just said, "Your name, please?" I said, "My name is Matt." Then Dennis said, "OK, would somebody more USEFUL than Matt like to say anything?" A 17-year-old raised his hand, and Dennis said, "Yes, I know it's 1 o'clock and that I have to do the same thing in Castelia soon. Thank you for reminding me." Then he turned to the men in terrible outfits and yelled, "OK, pack it up here!" Then, the audience except, I, Cheren, and that 17-year-old left. Cheren told me, "That was kind of random when you called them communist." Then I felt the 17-year-old tap on my shoulder and say, "They're not communist. Hello, my name is so long people just call me N." I said, "Well, N, why are you talking to me?" N replied, "I am the leader of Team Plasma. Though I am a Trainer, I absolutely hate the idea of humans abusing Pokémon, hence why I want to separate them from humanity. It shocked me that you called us potentially communist. However, when you said that, I felt a strange feeling coming out of you. Tell me, Matt. Are you a Trainer?" "Yes," I replied. "Though, I've just begun my journey." N said, "May I have a nice conversation with your starter? Yes, I am a Pokémon whisperer. I can actually hear them speaking English and even German." I said, "OK, fine…" I released Link and said, "There's a strange person who wants a conversation with you." To my surprise, it looked very business-like. N looked very amazed after this conversation. Frequently, I heard him say things along the lines of, "This Trainer might be an angel in disguise!" (Which of course is a metaphor, I'm not even 25.) Then N told me, "Wait, is it true that you're on the spectrum and that Link actually WANTS to be with you? Given the nickname you gave her, I was sure she'd be calling you Ganon. Or Navi." I said yes and N continued, "Well, I'd like to see whether that's all fake ideals or the truth your way." I learned what an implication is, so I knew he wanted a battle, which I gladly accepted.

N sent out one of his two Pokémon, a Purrloin, which Link managed to score a critical hit on, amazing N. I told Link, "Finish that devil!" Rather than tackling, it used a new Grass attack and KO'd Purrloin, amazing both me and N. N said, "Congrats, Link on learning Vine Whip, but I have one more tricky Pokémon! Try beating Jigglypuff!" I had no idea they were in Unova, maybe the population will be like Kanto in two years. But N sent one out and made it… sing, to my dismay. Thankfully, being autistic thus giving me a deficiency of the sleepy melatonin, a Jigglypuff's Sing just temporarily fixes that. But Link just fell asleep, leaving N to command it to use Pound. It scored one normal hit and one critical hit, so I felt like I was in trouble. But Link woke up and kept blocking all those attacks with Vine Whip. One time, Link blocked a Pound attack and redirected it to Jigglypuff, knocking it out. N was shocked and said, "You were telling the truth. You are indeed lucky 256. But I don't think you're that lucky. Yes, I'll admit I use Poké Balls when I have to, but when Pokémon are in there for long times… They'll never be perfect. You, Matt, I think you are never going to give the practice up, but since your Pokémon trust you, you are never going to let them down. Hmm… I am kind of sleepy from Jigglypuff's song, so I am going to take a nap in the back of my dad's pickup truck. See you." Then this odd person left, while I went to go to Route 2.
