"Finally decided to show up, huh loser?" Gary commented the moment you stepped into Professor Oak's lab.
The arrogant blue clad boy was leaning against the doorway, spinning a shrunken pokeball atop one of his fingers.
Looks like he already has his starter. Not that you expected anything else. Of course Gary would make sure he got first pick of the litter.
"Don't you have anything better to do than lurk around?" you asked idly as you stepped passed him, greeting Professor Oak with a nod.
Your eyes landed on the two pokeball sat atop the table the good professor was standing beside. One with an emblem for fire atop it, the other with a leaf emblem.
So Gary picked Squirtle huh?
"I just thought I'd stick around a bit and let you wimps see a real trainer in action before I leave you in the dust." Gary taunted from behind you.
"So you don't want to leave without seeing your boyfriend one last time?" you taunted back without turning around.
You didn't even have to see his face to know it began to flush red with anger. "Like hell I'd date a loser like Ashy-boy, even if I was into dudes." Gary hissed. You didn't turn bother answer, and you heard him growl in anger, before stomping out of the lab, "Whatever."
"That boy," Professor Oak rolled his eyes, "What am I going to do with him?"
"Dunno." you answered truthfully with a shrug. Not that you really cared. You didn't hang around with Gary or Ash too much growing up. Ash was a bit too exciteable for you at times, and Gary after they had their falling out became an arrogant prick.
Professor Oak shook his and sent you a smile, "So Cobalt, have you decided on what your first pokemon is going to be?" he asked.
Actually, you had.
"Yeah." you replied, making your way over to the desk. Reaching out, you picked up the pokeball with the leaf emblem.
Charmander are a powerful species, and you were leaning towards it. But you're planning on taking on the gym challenge, and having researched in advance, two of the closest gyms to you are the Pewter and Cerulean City Gym's, who specialize in rock and water types.
Bulbasaur was the perfect pokemon to take them on. You could always try and get your hands on a Charmander later.
"I pick Bulbasaur." you said.
"A fine choice, bulbasaur a is a species well versed when it comes to versatility, they can be trained in any number of ways." the old professor replied. Reaching in to his pocket, he pulled out a red device, and five shrunken pokeballs, "Here you are, this is your pokedex, and five pokeballs to start you off."
You took them gratefully. You are an orphan after all, so you don't really have much money to spend straight away on pokeballs. You only have eight you'd managed to scrounge around for the past few months. So that left you now with thirteen pokeballs to begin with.
Thank the heavens your trainer license actually came with some starting money and generic pokemon food that would last a couple months as long as you didn't go crazy.
"Thanks professor." you replied, taking the pokeballs and pokedex and slipping them into your pocket.
"So what plans do you have?" Professor Oak asked as soon as you did.
You want money, and the best and quickest way to go about that, is becoming a powerful league trainer. That's where the money is at these days. "I'm heading to Viridian Forest, hopefully to get my hands on something that can help deal with rock types, like another grass type, or maybe a Mankey, I heard they were quite common on Route 1." you replied.
Professor Oak nodded, "Going after the Pewter City gym right away then?" he deduced, gaining a nod from you, "A sound plan, you can easily find the likes of Bellsprout in the Viridian Forest, and t the gym leader there is quite new, so you could get a good start on your journey if you take advantage of his inexperience."
That was the plan at least.
Thanking the Professor once again, you bid him goodbye and left the lab behind. It was still early, and Viridian City wasn't that far off. If you hoofed it, you could get a decent ways into Viridian Forest by tonight.
Ten minutes later, you cast one last look at the small town you grew up in. You were an orphan so you had no family to leave behind, but still the place has been good to you.
"Well, time to get a move on." you mused.
Well, first of all you did actually have one thin to do. Reaching down to your belt, you grabbed the shrunken pokeball and released the pokemon inside.
Bulbasaur blinked a few times as he appeared and then stared up at you with curious crimson red eyes.
"Heya." you greeted the grass and poison type. You were quite happy with your starter. As soon as you left the lab, you scanned the pokeball with your pokedex and honestly, you were quite shocked by how much of a little powerhouse it seemed you started off with.
Reaching out, you waited and let Bulbasaur make the first move. And he did after a moment of sniffing your hand. the little grass type butted his head against your palm and let you pet him.
"I'm Cobalt, and I'm your new trainer little guy." you introduced yourself.
"Saur.." Bulbasaur pulled back from your hand, and a thick green vine released from his bulb and slipped into your hand. It wound around your hand, and you chuckled as Bulbasaur actually began shaking your hand in greeting with his vine.
"Good to meet you to," you replied, "You okay to help me out if we run into any wild pokemon?"
Bulbasaur released your hand and gave you a nod, "Buba-saur!" he replied affirmatively, saluting you with his vine.
He's quite the character it seems.
You checked your bag one last time just to make sure you had everything before you set off. Your Silph Co Bag that you got with your license, check. Camping gear, food, thirteen pokeballs, five potions, five full heals, and ten thousand pokedollars starting money as a trainer.
Yeah, you had everything. So you went on your way, Bulbasaur happily plodding along at your side.
Route 1, was surprisingly bare.
One lone Spearow was sitting out in the open, and one Pidgey high in the sky. There was a Sandshrew you almost went for, before it burrowed down underground and escaped you and Bulbasaur both before you could even give any orders.
So you continued on your way. Ten minutes later, a Mankey saw you and leapt into the tree's and away before you could do anything.
You sighed, "We're not having much luck are we?" you complained, slumping over.
There was a tug at one of your boots, and you looked down at Bulbasaur, to see him pointing behind you with one of his vines.
Turning around, you followed where he was pointing, looking down the small hill beside the pathway towards Viridian City, at the large stream that spanned the whole route, connecting Pallet Town and Viridian City.
And there you saw it. Minding its own buisness, walking along the lake bed, was a rather large Krabby.
A water type! Just what you needed to take on the Pewter City gym, and even a type that could battle well in Cerulean City's water battle field.
You were definitely going to catch it!
You didn't really like the idea of just jumping it from behind. You'll do it of course if needed, but you prefer the idea of facing your future pokemon head on.
"Come on." you said, jumping and sliding deftly down the hill.
You took out some pokechow as you reached the bottom, Bulbasaur at your heel. "Krabby!" you called out to the water type, gaining its attention.
It turned towards you, and raised a claw into the air and greeted you happily. "Kookee koo!"
Huh, a friendly little fellow huh?
"Heya, have some food." you said, walking over and crouching down, holding the food out to the little water type.
It blinked, before nodding and picking some up with surprisingly deft pincers and popping them in its mouth. It greeted Bulbasaur as it did so with another raised claw, getting a returning vine from Bulbasaur himself.
"So, I want to catch you." you admitted upfront, "You okay with that?"
Krabby blinked, then looked to Bulbasaur and asked something. Bulbasaur shrugged a bit, before saying something back. Man, what you wouldn't give to be able to understand pokemon talking.
They traded words back and forth for a few moments, before Krabby turned towards you and eye smiled, nodding happily, "Kookeekookee!"
Huh, well that was easy.
"Okay then, welcome to the team." you smiled. Reaching into your pocket, you pulled out a shrunken pokeball and enlarged it, then touched it to Krabby's head gently. It popped open, and Krabby faded into red energy before being sucked inside.
The ball closed with a click, and then glowed bright red at the centre and shook in your palm. Once, twice, three times, and then it let loose a ping as Krabby was captured successfully.
Excitement filled your body. And it hit you for the first time. You were a pokemon trainer. You got your starter pokemon earlier. And you just caught your first pokemon ever!
"Woo!" you cheered.
Bulbasaur gave you an odd look.
It was probably just because it was early morning. But you didn't run into anything else on your way to Viridian City, besides a Rattata that tried to get into your backpack when you set it down to give both Bulbasaur and Krabby a little treat, and to get to know them better.
It beat a hasty retreat when Krabby menacingly snapped his pincers at it. The little rat literally shot off with a quick attack.
You ended up walking the rest of the way to Viridian City, for another two hours with them by your side. Bulbasaur was generally a cheerful, go with the flow type, where as Krabby was quite friendly and a bit of the protective sort, if the way he chased off that Rattata was anything to go by.
Still, you left Pallet Town behind at 7:30 Am, and just as you arrived in Viridian City, it was just about coming up for eleven.
You looked down at the two pokemon at your feet, and could see the fatigue building up on them. Krabby more so than Bulbasaur. He wasn't built for long distance walking, but at the very least it was a decent little workout for him.
You lifted both of their pokeballs from your belt, and returned them both, "Take a rest guys." you said, then stashed them back on your belt. It wouldn't be a good idea to keep them out and risk them being exhausted by time you reached Viridian Forest.
Now what to do? There wasn't really any point heading to the Pokemon Centre, your pokemon were a bit tired, but nothing that wouldn't be fixed up in their pokeballs and a bit of rest.
You didn't really fancy your chances with the Viridian City Gym either. Giovanni was the strongest gym leader in the region of Kanto after all.
Well, you supposed that the Pokemon Centre was at least a local trainer hangout where a lot of trainers got together during their rest between cities to trade information.
Though, the league circuit this year has only just started.
You made your way to the pokemon centre, and from there the trainer lounge. There wasn't really many people in there, just four.
None of them had much to say as far as rumours or advice went. They were pretty new themselves, for the most part. One guy who was waiting to challenge Giovani though at least let it slip that there was a rather large swarm of Beedrill floating about the forest.
So you could at least keep your eyes out on that.
"Hey kid!" one of the trainers called out just as you were about to leave.
"Yeah?" you asked, turning back.
He was an older boy, perhaps two or three years older than you. Clad in some dusty travelling clothes, and short brown hair, "You up for a battle?" he asked.
You paused, considering it for a moment. "Yeah, I'm game." you replied.
"Cool, follow me and we can have it out at the battlefield out back." he said back. He beckoned you to follow him, and you did so, being lead outside to the back of the pokemon centre, where a large battlefield painted in white was situated.
"You ready?" He called out to you, taking a spot at the far end. You nodded, "Right then, on the count of three, we'll both release our pokemon kay?"
"Gotcha!" you acknowledged, grabbing one of the pokeballs from your belt.
"1!"
"2!"
.."3!" he counted down.
"Let's go Bulbasaur!" you shouted, releasing your starter. Funnily enough, you actually have a better idea of what Krabby can do in a battle rather than your starter.
"Rhyhorn, come out!" your opponent called.
You blinked as a large and powerful Rhyhorn thudded onto the ground in front of your opponent and growled at Bulbasaur, pawing one thick rocky leg into the ground and digging a small trench.
Bulbasaur raised an eyebrow, but didn't react otherwise.
Where the hell did this guy get a Rhyhorn?
"Where'd you catcha a Rhyhorn?" you shouted over.
"I'm from Vermillion City kid!" he shouted back, "I found him atop the Diglett Cave when I travelled over it to get to Pewter, there's tons of rock and ground types up there."
Good to know.
"Right, let's get going then!" your opponent hyped himself up, he punched a fist forward in your direction, "Rhyhorn, Tackle!" he ordered.
With a roar, Rhyhorn bounded forward in a sprint. It wasn't the fasted thing out there, but the sheer power of its charge shook the ground with each step
Rhyhorn is daunting no doubt. But charging with just a tackle like that, makes it a big, easy to hit target.
"Leech Seed." you commanded simply. If there is one thing your confident in, it's your skills in a battle. It was the thing you paid most attention to during Professor Oak's classes and training camps growing up.
"Buba!" Bulbasaur cried out, and with a nod, tensed his legs and crouched down. A small brown seed popped up at the tip of his bulb, and with a grunt, it was shot through the air towards the charging Rhyhorn.
Racing towards Bulbasaur as it was, the big rock and ground type had no chance to dodge, and the seed sprouted open into large, thick vines that wrapped around its body and dragged it to the ground.
Rhyhorn roared as its body was covered in a bio field of red energy that crackled like thunder, draining its energy.
"Rhyhorn, no!" its trainer called out, "Break out with Rock Throw!"
No chance, "Razor Leaf till it goes down!" you countered.
Rhyhorn opened its mouth, and you saw white light forming. But, before it could, Bublasaur growled and unleashed dozens of razor sharp leaves in a barrage of bladed grass attacks that zipped through the air and slashed into the rock and ground type one after another.
Rhyhorn roared, stopping its attack and struggled against the barrage of attacks. But it was no use, stuck as it was within the Leech Seed, even if it frayed against the Razor Leaf, it was a sitting Psyduck.
In just under ten seconds of the onslaught of Razor Leaf, Rhyhorn fell limp.
"Yes, way to go Bulbasaur!" you cheered, running out to grab Bulbasaur up in a hug and celebrate with him.
Your opponent sighed in defeat, returning his pokemon, "Good try Rhyhorn."
All things considered. Your first battle went incredibly well, and you were already up 357 pokedollars. Not a massive amount, as far as trainers went. But outside the profession, that would be enough to stock the food of a house for a month.
Honestly, you'd never even come close to holding that much money before, and it was just simply passed to you for beating a guy in a battle that didn't even take a few minutes.
It was a bit surreal.
You had to give your had a bit of a shake to get yourself going. With that done, you made sure to praise Bulbasaur for how well he did. Double type advantage or not, he brought down a massive Rhyhorn with ease.
And with that, you were on your way to Viridian Forest, since there was nothing left for you to take care of in Viridian City. Maybe if you had a bit more money you could check out pokemon related items on sale, but as it is, you want to hold on to your money for a little bit longer, or at least get your hands on more before you started splurging.
It took you about an hour to reach Viridian Forest from the city. You ignored the road to the side that led straight to Pewter City, the forest was a shortcut if you didn't have a vehicle, and you wanted to see what kind of pokemon you could find in there.
Though with both Bulbasaur and Krabby, you don't really need another pokemon with the advantage over the rock type.
Just as you were about to enter the forest entrance though, someone stepped out and bumped into you.
"Ah, my apologies." they quickly bowed and apologized. Oddly, it was a boy, dressed up like a samurai, with a legit katana sheathed on his hip. Weird. "Ah, you are a pokemon trainer." he noted eyes on your belt, before standing back up.
"Yep." you answered back proudly, "Just started today actually, got my starter pokemon in Pallet Town."
The sword wielder's eyes widened, "One of the vaunted beginner's from Pallet you say?" he hummed in interest. To your interest, he reached into his armour and pulled out a pokeball of his own, "This must be fate. I am Samurai, and I challenge you to a battle my friend."
"Sure, let's battle." you agreed.
"Splendid!" Samurai cheered, "Does a two on two sound okay to you?"
You nodded.
"Again splendid, then let us do battle!" Samurai cheered again. "Go Pinsir!" he didn't even bother with a count down or anything.
And you couldn't really blame him either, when he released a towering Pinsir in front of him. Man, what is up with the guys you're running in to? most people fought guys with Rattata and shit in the beginning of their journeys. Not you, you get a Rhyhorn and then a freaking Pinsir right after.
"Where'd you find a Pinsir?" you asked, hand going to your belt and grabbing Krabby's pokeball. They were pretty rare. You'd done quite a bit of research before you started your journey, and you know the only reliable place to get them in Kanto is the Safari Zone.
"Interested in my partner eh?" Samurai chuckled, "Very well, it is no secret. Pinsir migrated to the forest with his family. Alas, he was left behind by his family when they were chased out by the boss of the forest. I found him and nursed him back to health, and he decided to stay with me ever since."
Huh, an interesting origin story for getting your first pokemon, you had to admit. But you latched on to something more important. Pinsir are powerhouses physically, what kind of pokemon is strong enough to drive off a family of them?
"Boss of the forest?" you asked.
"Indeed, quite the frightening fellow, not once have we come close to defeating it," Samurai replied, "A powerful Scyther that is only contested against by the Beedrill swarms, if you are interested in challenging it yourself, I will happily tell you where to find its nesting grounds, but for now, let us battle!"
Well, you couldn't really say anything to that now could you? "Let's do this then," you replied, releasing your own pokemon, "Go, Krabby!"
Krabby appeared in front of you, and happily waved to you. You smiled back, "Hey buddy, you up for a battle?" you asked.
"Kookee!" he nodded brightly and turned around to face Pinsir, snapping his pincers at the large bug type menacingly.
"Oh-ho!" Samurai hummed, "A Krabby! Interesting! A battle of the pincer pokemon as it were! Let's see who's claws are sharper!"
Samurai drew his sword with a loud 'shiing' and pointed it towards you, "Advance Pinsir, use Slash!" he ordered.
Pinsir roared, blinding glowing white claws gathering on its hands.
"Water Gun!" you ordered as soon as Pinsir took off, sprinting towards Krabby.
Krabby opened his mouth and fired a large jet of compressed water towards the charging bug.
Pinsir didn't even slow its charge. With a roar, it thrust both clawed hands out a and slashed right through the jet of water as it ran.
That was fine.
"Crabhammer!" you followed up with. That was one thing you learned during practice battles growing up. Don't hesitate and bumble around. And always keep up the pressure.
"Kokee!" Krabby shouted, lifting one pincer into the air as it began to glow a bright blue-white. He smashed his glowing appendage into the ground with enough force the shake it beneath your feet, and from the impact point, a large blue sphere of energy rocketed out towards Pinsir.
Low as it was, Pinsir still in position from cutting apart the water gun attack had no chance to get low or dodge, and the sphere of power smashed into Pinsir's knee. It's knee buckled under the power of the attack, and Pinsir roared in pain as it was sent careening off of its feet, smashing face first into the ground and the momentum behind its charge making it dig a trench through the dirt.
"Pinsir, no!"
"Stomp it!" you shouted, cutting off Samurai's own shout of worry for his pokemon.
Krabby did just as ordered. With a powerful jump that looked out of place with his four thin legs, Krabby shot through the air towards the downed bug, all four legs glowing white.
Pinsir began to push itself up, but it was too late. Krabby came down and smashed all four of his empowered legs atop the bugs head and smashed it down into the ground face first once again with a powerful stomp attack.
All was silent for a moment. But then, just when you thought it was over, Pinsir's thin arms pressed into the ground and began to shakily push itself up with Krabby on its back
Yeesh, what a durable pokemon.
"Crabhammer again, finish it!" you ordered.
Krabby obeyed, and before Pinsir could finish pushing itself up, the water type raised a glowing pincer into the air once more, and then hammered it down onto Pinsir's back at point blank range.
Pinsir let loose an audible groan of pain, before falling limp.
Samurai returned Pinsir and stared at his partners pokeball wide eyed for a moment. He shook his head and stashed it away, replacing it with another, "My word, you are quite ferocious aren't you?" he mused before smiling, "It was my mistake to underestimate you as I did, I assumed just because you are a novice trainer, that you would battle like a novice, clearly I was wrong."
He pointed his sword at you once more, "I won't underestimate you again my friend," he replied, and released his next pokemon, "Come out Metapod!"
...?
Is he really intending to take you on with a Metapod? They're stuck being stationary though.
"I see you're confused at my choice," Samurai chuckled, shaking his head, "Pay it no need."
Well, if this is how he wanted to do it, who are you to tell him no?
"Return, Krabby!" you called out, returning your own pokemon, and switching him for your starter, "Bulbasaur, go!"
Bulbasaur appeared in front of you, eyeing his opponent idly.
"Let's do this then." you said. This time, you'll start things off, "Bulbasaur us-"
Before you could finish, Samurai cut you off, "Maximum Tackle!" he ordered.
Eh?
From Metapod's facial area, a thick string shot lashed out and wrapped around Bulbasaur in the blink of an eye. Bulbasaur growled, trying to shake free, but then Metapod, still connected to the string shot glowed with a green sheen of light, and pulled itself towards Bulbasaur from the string shot it had wrapped your pokemon up with.
Harden! You recognized the way it lit up, the same as Krabby.
No time to think. That Metapod was like a missile!
"Swing it into a tree!" you ordered rapidly.
Bulbasaur obeyed instantly. Digging his small but powerful legs into the ground, your starter twisted and attempted to pull Metapod around with all his might using the string wrapped around his body.
He didn't have quite enough strength with the momentum behind Metapod.
Metapod's course was altered a bit, but it was coming too fast, and crashed into Bulbasaur with enough force to send your starter flying through the air.
Only, he didn't get far.
"Again!" Samurai shouted.
Metapod tugged and Bulbasaur came flying back, while Metapod shot into the air again and smashed into Bulbasaur once more. And then again, and again.
Like a yoyo, Metapod tackled your pokemon into the air, and then used your pokemon's momentum to tug him back and repeat the process.
Bulbasaur shouted in pain after each and every hit. If you didn't think of something soon, Bulbasaur wouldn't last much longer.
Once more, Bulbasaur was sent careening into the air, and pulled back in for another hit. But that was when you noticed. Bulbasaur's top half, his bulb, wasn't covered by the string shot!
"Sleep Powder!" you snapped out, just as Metapod closed in once again.
Bulbasaur, near limp in the air, had his eyes shoot open. Crimson going wide as he focused. He swung mid-air, angling it so his bulb was facing Metapod, and just before the bug crashed into him once again, released a massive cloud of glittering blue powder.
The bug crashed into Bulbasaur once last time, just as it got a face full of sleep powder and its yellow eyes fell shut. Bulbasaur cried out in pain, and fell to the ground alongside Metapod who couldn't keep up its momentum while asleep.
"Oh no!" Samurai cried put in worry.
Oh yes!
Simple is as simple does.
"Break free with Razor Leaf!" you followed up.
A moment later, the string shot split apart from around Bulbasuur as he released a pair of bladed leaves from his side that shot towards Metapod, slashing into it with a sound reminiscent of a blade on metal. Rapidly, Bulbasaur followed up with easily a dozen or more bladed leaves that all cut into Metapod in seconds.
"That's the way!" you cheered Bulbasaur on.
"Wake up Metapod, quickly!" Samurai shouted at his pokemon.
Not a chance. "Finsih it off before it wakes up, use Double Edge!" you ordered.
Bulbasaur roared angrily, lashing out with twin vine whips to push himself forward into a sprint towards the sleeping bug pokemon, picking up a rapid pace, a raging green aura of power shimmering over his body.
Metapod was completely defenceless, sleeping as it was. And Bulbasaur smashed into it with all the force of a speeding truck. A groan of pain left the sleeping pokemon as it was sent shooting through the air like a rocket, slamming into a tree with so much force the tree itself snapped in half.
the upper half of the tree crashed into the ground hard enough that you stumbled a bit, and Samurai ended up falling on his ass. Metapod, followed suit, sliding down to the ground, and swirls in its eyes.
Samurai looked at his pokemon and sighed, "It seems it is my loss." he admitted, raising his pokeball and returning his pokemon, "Nevertheless, it was a splendid battle, you overcame Metapod's greatest technique handily." he continued as he stood up.
Honestly, you think it was a lot closer than that. You eyed Bulbasaur who was panting deeply, his facial area deepened from a light blue, to a dark purple in some areas.
You weren't expecting your pokemon to take a beating like that from a Metapod of all things. But it's a good lesson you suppose. Never underestimate any pokemon.
..Still. Combining moves like that. That was interesting. You hadn't thought of that before.
"Good job buddy." you walked over and knelt down to gently pet Bulbasaur, who preened into your touch. You are so very happy with your choice of a starter, he took quite the beating there and didn't fold beneath it. You liked that.
It was interesting how the Pokedex automatically automated battles between trainers. You're not sure how it can tell the difference between say an actual battle and a practice one, but you aren't going to complain.
And Samurai it seemed, was actually on to something when he claimed you were a novice pokemon trainer. It was literally your rank in your pokedex. Samurai himself, showing you his own rank being that of one above yours, at Adept.
Because he was of a higher rank than you, losing to you meant that he had to pay out for money. And quite the haul it was. 2050 Pokedollars, that was insane.
Samurai bid you a hasty goodbye after you got your winnings. Apparently, he was on his way to the pokemon centre to get his pokemon fixed up. Rather, he showed you six pokeballs, he already had a full party. Only Pinsir and Metapod had enough energy to battle though.
"That Scyther is incredibly powerful, it defeated all four of these pokemon with ease before getting bored and moving on." he'd explained to you.
He'd been trying to capture that Scyther for over a month now, with no luck. Before leaving though, as promised, he told you where the Scyther tended to nest, so you could try your own hand at taking it on if you desired.
Samurai was such a nice guy. You don't think you'd happily tell someone where a pokemon you were trying to catch for over a month was.
And so, after bidding Samurai goodbye yourself, you continued your way onwards, into the Viridian Forest. You'd probably be better using Krabby for a bit though, Pokemon healed fast, but it would still be a couple hours before Bulbasaur was in tip top shape again
Immediately you were assaulted by the many sounds of pokemon going about their lives. The forest was practically a symphony of chirps and grunts.
"What's that?" you asked in interest when you heard a keening, piercing cry resound out from a bit in front of you.
Following the sound, you made your way off of the forest path, through some bushes, trees and other foliage and found yourself in a decently large clearing.
And you found the source of the noise.
A Pidgeotto, swooped through the air, dodging around twin barrages of purple energy needles.
Its opposition, hanging from a tree together - a pair of Kakuna glaring angrily at the bird, spraying the needles out of their mouths together
So this is something I write on Akun. As you can see, it's second person and a bit different from what I usually write. Faster paced and not as much detail. That's simply because the adventure choices is more or less chosen by the players, I just write it.
There's quite a few chapters to upload, so I'll be uploading more of these chapters over the next few days.
