A/N: Hey there. Long time no see. Not much to say. Enjoy.
"Okay, now that Dib's out..." Gaz picked up the GSPGS. Nothing had changed.
On the screen showed what appeared to be a Professor's laboratory. Instead of looking like Professor Oak's lab, it looked more like a grayscale version of the Pal Park in Black and White. There were advanced looking machines, along with a tank that had what appeared to be a Magikarp in it. Attached to the Pokemon were wires, which were also attached to a computer. This has got to be the creepiest beta ever, Gaz thought. The father and a random scientist walked onto the screen. Text boxes appeared on the screen.
Scientist: Are you sure this will work?
Father: Of course! We tested this out on that boy before, it has to work on Pokemon!
Scientist: But isn't that boy insane now? Couldn't that mean that there may-
Father: Oh, he was insane before the experiments! Nothing can possibly go wrong now!
The father's sprite turned towards (in-game) Gaz.
Father: Oh, hello Gaz! How are you?
There was a pause, meaning in-game Gaz was talking.
Father: Gaz, you know how that boy is! Always talking about unknown ghost Pokemon, and how there's more than 151 Pokemon! Remember when he said he found a "lost city" he named Glitch City? How ridiculous! Go tell him I'm too busy right now, and I'll see him and his "ghost" later!
Gaz was walking out of the room when she was suddenly stopped.
Scientist: Oh, wait, little girl! I think the Professor forgot to give you this.
The screen showed up to give Gaz her starter Pokemon. She chose Charmander. That was Mom's favorite starter... She hated the other games for not letting her choose that Pokemon, replacing it with... Cinderquill or something? They really make too many Pokemon these days. Gaz never liked the second generation very much. After Gaz picked the Pokemon and nicknamed it, C LemN, in memory of one of her mother's favorite game series, she walked outside to tell in-game Dib what their father said.
Dib: ...
...Oh well.
Hey, you got a Pokemon! Can I see?
A Yes or No selection came up. Gaz picked No.
Dib: What? Why not? It's not like I'm going to preform any tests on it like Dad would!
Another Yes or No option came up. This time she picked Yes.
Dib: Cool!
Hmm... A Charmander. That's cool. I would've chosen a Squirtle.
C LemN is an interesting name. How did you-
The bushes at the edge if town shook. Are the bushes even able to shake in this game?
Dib: There it is! The ghost! C'mon, it really is a ghost! Look!
Hey, Gaz, now that you have a Pokemon, you can safely go in the bushes! Just check it out, for me! Please?
The Yes or No option reappeared. Gaz rolled her eyes and picked Yes. This is probably just a dumb way to introduce me to battling, or even catching Pokemon.
Dib: See? You do believe me!
Gaz's character automatically walked into the bushes. As she stepped onto the grass, the animation for a wild Pokemon started, but not the music. After the screen went to black to set up the battle screen, it... Stayed black? Oh great, now the beta stopped wor-
"Gaz? Gaz, let me in there, the computer in my room is detecting ghosts, and it's not even supposed to find ghosts! What game are you playing?" Dib was shouting through the door, worried for his sister.
"Go away, Dib! I'm playing an old GSPGS game! Besides, it stopped working just n-"
The screen on the ancient gaming system was still mostly black, but a text box came up. Along with the text box came an eerily familiar voice from the speaker. What the f*ck? There was no voice acting in these games!
A/N: Done with this chapter! Short again, as always! This time, it's a cliffhanger! Whoo!
...
Lame, I know. I hate cliffhangers too. I just found this to be the best place to leave off. Otherwise, this would be an overly huge chapter, and you wouldn't be able to read this until I finished that part, too.
So, is it good? Let me know!
...
Please? It's lonely around here...
