"Hey! You came from Pallet Town?" Reimu, hearing this, walked up to Rinnosuke, who was manning the register. Rinnosuke continued. "Professor Knowledge wants this delivered to her. Would you be able to bring this to her?" Seeing as how Reimu came here to retrieve the parcel, she saw no reason to not grab the unmarked cardboard box from Rinnosuke and walk out the door. Once outside, Reimu sighed as she realized that she was going to have to walk back through Route 1.

Reimu slammed open the library door, her half-fainted lvl. 8 pikachu following right behind her. She had attempted many times to stop it from getting into battles by putting it in it's pokeball, but Achu kept breaking out of it. Reimu walked towards the back of the library, where the professor was curled over next to a messy pile of books and some fallen bookshelves. One of Patchouli's assistants came up to her. "Hello Reimu. Do you have Professor Knowledge's package?" Reimu nodded, and handed over the cardboard box. She turned to leave, but the professor called her back, having gotten up. "Wait, Reimu, I have to ask something of you." Before she could go any further, however, Sanae came in through the door. "Yo Patchy, my pokémon has grown stronger! Check it out!" "Ah, Sanae. Perfect timing. I need to ask both of you to do something for me." Patchouli gestured to a table with two red devices on them. "This is my invention, the Pokédex. It automatically records information on pokémon you've seen or caught. It's a hi-tech pokémon encyclopedia. Reimu, Sanae, take these with you. Go out and see the world. And most important of all, fill out the Pokédex. I would do it myself, but I have a library to run. My age doesn't help either. Now get going, you two, this is one of the greatest undertakings in Pokémon history." Sanae teared up at the apparently motivating speech. "Alright Patchy! Leave it to me! Reimu, I hate to say it, but I don't need you. Oh! I know, I'll borrow a town map from my sister! I'll tell her not to let you borrow one!" Sanae ran out the door, cackling. Reimu followed close behind her, grumbling. It's not like she needed a town map, having memorized the entire Kanto region, but that was just rude.

Reimu exited Route 1 for what was hopefully the last time. After visiting the pokémart to buy pokéballs, as well as some healing items, and the pokécenter for obvious reasons, she set off to the west to Route 22. Reimu took one step into the grass, and a Mankey jumped out. ~Music: Maiden's Capriccio~Dream Battle (ZUN)~

A wild MANKEY appeared! Go! Achu!

"Achu! Use thunder shock!" Reimu hoped that this wouldn't be too strong, as she needed another pokémon to weaken down pokémon she wanted to catch without making them faint. As the lighMankey bolt neared the Mankey, Reimu kinda-sorta-but-not-really cringed. When the dust settled, the Mankey launched itself at Achu

Enemy MANKEY used SCRATCH!

"Phew, OK Achu, use thunder wave!" A weak shock wave emanated from the pikachu, and it hit the mankey dead on. The Mankey moved to scratch Achu again, but was stopped by it's paralysis.

MANKEY is paralyzed! It can't move!

"And now, for my next trick…" Reimu muttered to herself, reaching into her bag.

REIMU used POKÉBALL!

All right! MANKEY was caught!

~end music~

"Now, what to name it…"

Do you want to give it a nickname?

-yes

-Fuck Rocks

-confirm

Reimu chuckled to herself at the name, before heading back to the Pokécenter to rest, as it was getting dark outside. As she walked inside, she smiled to herself. Today was a good day.
