A/N I honestly had no idea that I would get as many views as I did from the last chapter and it really is cool to see that people like this. This story is now being betaed (I really don't have a clue how else to spell that) by Uranium235.

Reviews

Brother of kane - I honestly would love some input on what you think would be good ideas for Ash to Capture, I'm making a poll in the near future.

Allie cat - i really want to have Brock travel with them, but if that were the case i'd need someone to write his lines when he is flirting cause i have no idea how to go about doing so.

lightningblade49 - honestly the thing with is because the fact that they started out dumb, but became genius criminals in unova bothered me, since i think that they would have been killed by Giovanni if they were that incompetent so i wanted to make them more like members of a criminal organization.

thanks for the reviews

Disclaimer – I don't see why I need to keep restating the obvious, but I don't own Pokémon.

Ch 5 Viridian forest (i have no better ideas at the moment)

While walking down the path through viridian city, Ash couldn't help but admire the forest around him. Even though he'd gone through the woods after leaving Pallet town, he never really got much time to pay attention to how much livelier the outdoors were when compared to cities and towns that he was used to.

All around them there were sounds of movement, such as the bird Pokémon flying around the forest. There were even some larger bug Pokémon that were watching them, such as a few Butterfree, and even a few wary Beedrill that were keeping an eye on them.

"You might want to keep an eye on the path Ash." Cynthia said, bringing Ash's attention back to her and the trail they were walking down.

"I don't see what the big deal is; the path is completely flaAA…" Ash started to comment, when he tripped over a tree root that was sticking up slightly over the ground. The sudden feeling of his leg being caught, brought Ash tumbling down towards the forest floor, face first.

Pikachu, being the ever loyal friend he was, abandoned ship as he saw the ground moving up to meet him and his trainer. Less than three seconds after leaving his resting place, Pikachu watched his trainer face-plant onto the dirt. Again, in a great show of loyalty, Pikachu proceeded to fall over laughing at his friend's misfortune.

Spitting out a small mouthful of dirt, Ash turned to Pikachu with a glare, "Thanks, and yeah I'm fine." he said as he stood up.

Watching the antics of both trainer and Pokémon, Cynthia couldn't help but smile at the scene the two were making. She really was glad that she finally had someone else to travel with, silently praying for more moments to laugh about like this in the future.

When Ash was about half way to standing, he noticed a green little worm start crawling down the tree not too far ahead of him. "Huh, wonder what that is." he thought aloud as he grabbed the pokédex to discover the identity of the green worm.

"Caterpie, the worm Pokémon. Its short feet are tipped with suction pads that enable it to tirelessly climb slopes and walls. For protection, it releases a horrible stench from the antennae on its head to drive away enemies." Dexter spoke in his monotone mechanical voice as he read the information to Ash, who proceeded to put away the red box.

Seeing the Pokémon crawling towards him, Ash was slightly surprised at how calm the worm Pokémon was, considering he was far bigger than it.

'I think I know where this is going.' Cynthia thought with a small smile as she watched the interaction between Ash and the Pokémon. She knew that there were plenty of cases where a Pokémon decided to follow a trainer, these usually resulting in said trainer often capturing said Pokémon. The fact that this Caterpie seemed to take a liking to Ash didn't seem to really surprise her, since bug Pokémon were often looked at as being weak by a lot of trainers.

Like Cynthia, Ash also knew about the general view of bug Pokémon; it often reminded him of how a lot of people would look at him when he competed with Gary growing up. Ash had always been the one everybody expected to lose all the competitions with Gary, since he was the grandson of the great professor Oak.

As the worm Pokémon came to a stop in front of Ash, it looked up at him with curious eyes, seemingly examining him. After a few moments of staring at him, Caterpie crawled over to Ash and nuzzled its head into his pant leg.

"I guess that's the best confirmation I'll ever get." Ash said as he watched the little Pokémon. "Hey Caterpie?" he started, getting the Pokémon's attention he continued "I was wondering if you might like to tag along with Pikachu and I?" he asked.

Hearing the offer, Caterpie stood up very straight, he'd heard about how trainers would help a Pokémon get a lot stronger. 'If I go with him, I'm sure to become a Butterfree someday!' he thought to himself, he then proceeded to look up at Ash, this time with pleading eyes and nodded his head.

"All right then." Ash said, taking out a pokéball. 'No need to be harsh about it I guess.' he thought as he tapped the bug so as not to hurt it. Caterpie was then sucked into the ball, which prompted the button on the ball to flash red, which would normally be followed by shaking, but the button flashed once before making a ding noise to signal the successful capture.

Realizing what had just happened, Ash picked up the pokéball and held it up high with a smile on his face "I just caught a Caterpie!" he yelled in obvious joy.

Cynthia made no effort to hide how happy she was for her friend's achievement. Sure, it wasn't anything too big, simply a Caterpie that had joined Ash of its own free will, but it was something that Ash had every right to be happy about. After all, every trainer had the right to be excited about their first capture, she certainly had been.

Ash's excitement was put on hold by a beep from the pokédex, which he then took out and opened. The pokédex had just finished processing the information on Caterpie a few seconds after Ash had opened it up.

"Pokémon capture confirmed

Species: Caterpie

Gender: male

Height: 1'01"

Weight: 7 lbs.

Attacks: tackle, string shot

Ability: shield dust" Dexter said as he listed off the information on the newly caught Caterpie.

"Ability?" Ash asked confusedly. He'd never heard the term come up before, even during his time in trainer school. Hoping to learn about just what the term meant, Ash sent a questioning glance towards Cynthia, hoping she knew something about the term.

Seeing the question, Cynthia figured it would be a good topic to cover, since she had agreed to help Ash to become a better trainer. "Well, abilities are actually fairly recent discoveries." she started as she thought about how best to explain them. "The idea behind them was first proposed by Prof. Birch over in Hoenn, but was confirmed when the top researchers around got together to look over it. Since it was only recently confirmed, the trainer schools haven't started talking about them yet."

"Okay, that explains why I've never heard of them before now, but what are they?" Ash asked as he noticed her explanation dying down, giving him the chance to question a bit further.

After a few moments of thought, Cynthia started explaining again; "Well, abilities are just that, abilities the Pokémon can naturally use during battle to give themselves an edge. For example, Shield Dust protects the Pokémon that has it from moves that have an extra effect, such as lowering defenses or paralyzing the target."

Understanding the subject much better than before, Ash decided that he would look over abilities at some point later on, before he clipped Caterpie's pokéball onto his belt. Pikachu proceeded to return to his usual spot on Ash's shoulder and the group set off down the path again, with Ash making sure to watch the trail much more closely this time around.

Later…

After walking for roughly twenty minutes, Ash, Cynthia and Pikachu walked into a clearing where they saw a boy that looked to be slightly older than Ash standing in it.

Looking over the boy, they noticed that he was wearing a suit of armor that resembled a samurai, while he had a bug catching net slung over his shoulder. Seeing the two of them approach, the boy waited for a few moments before he decided to speak up.

"Are either of you from Pallet town?" he asked as the two stopped a short distance from him.

"That would be me." Ash said. He was somewhat surprised that someone would be waiting for him out here, especially when he didn't do anything to warrant such attention.

"I challenge you to Pokémon battle!" the boy declared, shocking both Ash and Cynthia at the sheer suddenness of the statement.

"I have no problem battling you, but why were you waiting for me in particular?" Ash said, now very confused at what was going on here.

"Over the last few days I have battled three trainers, all coming from Pallet town." The boy started. "And each time I have been soundly defeated…" At his finishing statement, both trainers noticed a somewhat downtrodden look on his face. "But to my shock I have been given a chance to battle one last time, and I have been waiting for you to arrive here."

"Well then I'm happy to battle you… uh…" Ash had no clue what to call the boy since neither had introduced themselves.

"My name is John Tori, though as of late I've taken to being called Samurai." the now named John said politely.

"Well then John, my name is Ash Ketchum." Ash returned the greeting and offered a hand to John.

"Well then Ash, how does a two on two battle sound to you?" John asked. Receiving a nod of confirmation, he walked over to the right side of the clearing and waited for Ash to take his place on the other.

Taking the initiative when Ash was standing across from him, John grabbed a pokéball from one of his pockets and threw it into the air "Metapod, go!"

As the ball released the Pokémon, it began to take the shape of a cocoon. After it finished forming the cocoon shape, Ash noticed that it was green and had an almost expressionless face. Figuring that scanning it couldn't hurt, he took out Dexter.

"Metapod, the cocoon Pokémon. Metapod is the evolved form of Caterpie, it prepares for evolution by hardening its shell as much as possible to protect its soft body. It quietly endures hardships while awaiting evolution." As Dexter finished reciting the information, Ash knew that Metapod would take a while to bring down, if it was as sturdy as the pokédex said.

"Pikachu you're up first." Ash said, as his starter Pokémon hopped down to await orders.

Taking the opportunity, Ash ordered the first move. "Pikachu, quick attack!" at the command, the mouse charged at Metapod and prepared to slam into it.

"Metapod use Harden!" John commanded. At first glance, the Pokémon didn't make any move at all, but if one were to look closer, they would notice that Metapod's entire body had tensed up to absorb the majority of the impact. On contact, Pikachu and Ash both were surprised that the attack had next to no effect on it.

On the side of the field, Cynthia noticed that Ash was starting to panic at his ineffective attack and was waiting to see how he would cope with John's Pokémon. 'If he can't take out that Metapod this battle is done.' she thought, since the only reason for using a Pokémon such as Metapod would be to exhaust the opponent.

While Cynthia was thinking on the sideline, Ash was going over what little he knew about Metapod. 'Okay so it hardens its body to protect itself…' at this he wanted to smack himself in the face. 'Of course it would be able to take quick attack head on with no problem, what was I thinking?" Thinking over his options he noticed that Metapod hadn't moved at all since being released. 'Why hasn't he counter attacked yet?' he thought to himself, which made him realize that there wasn't any real way for it to move to counter attack in the first place. "Pikachu use Thundershock!" Ash yelled. Pikachu followed the order by releasing a bolt of electricity that flew towards Metapod.

"Use Harden!" John called quickly, hoping to protect Metapod from the attack. Like before, Metapod stiffened its body, but this time it noticeably flinched in pain when hit by the Thundershock. "Metapod return." John called, which surprised Ash, as well as Metapod. Seeing the look on Ash's face, John sighed and started to explain. "All Metapod knows how to do is Harden, it doesn't make sense to fight a battle that is already lost, so I forfeit Metapod's match."

After he finished explaining, Ash nodded in understanding, since it would just be cruel to keep Metapod out since he had figured out a way around its defense. Ash could sympathize with John since he'd never want to hurt his Pokémon intentionally.

"All right, now for my second Pokémon, go Pinsir!" John said as he threw a second pokéball that started to take a much larger shape. The Pokémon that stood before Ash and Pikachu made them both slightly nervous due to its appearance. The Pokémon stood at just under five foot and had the appearance of a massive stag beetle. The most intimidating feature of it being the massive pincer like horns covered in small barbs that stood on its head. Ash took Dexter out and pointed it at the beetle somewhat shakily.

"Pinsir, the stag beetle Pokémon. This Pokémon grips its prey with its pincers until the prey is torn in half. What it can't tear, it tosses far." Hearing the information on the pokédex, Ash's eyes widened in horror as he imagined Pinsir going through with the aforementioned action on poor Pikachu. Pikachu was not better off, since his ears picked up the information, and needless to say he wasn't happy about it.

'What did I do to deserve this? I swear someone out there has it in for me!' the mouse ranted in his head.

While both of the two were frozen in thought, John figure out what the problem was. He knew about the brutal reputation that Pinsir had so he spoke up to dispel the worry that Pikachu and Ash were showing, "You don't have to worry Ash. Pinsir knows when enough is enough, so you don't have to worry about Pikachu getting mortally wounded." he said loudly so that the trainer and Pokémon would hear what he was saying.

Sighing in relief, Ash nodded and returned his focus to the battle and gave Pikachu an order "Pikachu use Thundershock!" Pikachu was happy to comply, as long as he didn't have to get to close to Pinsir, and released the electric attack again.

The attack made a direct hit on Pinsir, and made it flinch, but it took the attack and stayed standing. "Our turn, Pinsir use Vicegrip!" John said, which was followed by the stag beetle rushing towards Pikachu with the horns on its head spread apart to grab the mouse. When Pikachu tried to comply with the order to dodge the move, Pinsir's left arm shot out and grabbed the electric mouse. As Pikachu began to struggle to escape, John gave the order for a move called Seismic Toss. Pinsir replied by jumping into the air before coming down with Pikachu held before it.

As the two Pokémon landed in the clearing, they kicked up a fair amount of dust due to the impact of the attack. When the dust cleared, Pikachu was seen lying on the ground with his eyes closed and completely unconscious.

Ash walked over to Pikachu, since he knew that as long as it was possible, Pikachu would fight to stay outside of a pokéball. Picking up the electric mouse, Ash walked over to Cynthia, she took Pikachu and carefully held the little Pokémon while Ash walked over to his place on the battlefield.

"Thanks for waiting." Ash said as he stood across from John and Pinsir.

"No problem, it's good to see a trainer that cares for their Pokémon." John said. "Now if you'd send out your second Pokémon so we can finish this please."

Grabbing Caterpie's pokéball, Ash spoke up, "No problem, Caterpie I choose you!" In a flash of white, the little green worm appeared in the clearing.

Caterpie, upon looking at Pinsir, for lack of a better word, freaked out. He knew he would be fighting other Pokémon that were bigger than him, but a PINSIR of all things!? Ash immediately felt guilty when he saw Caterpie's reaction, "Come on buddy, just do your best. That's all I'm asking for." he said softly. Caterpie, hearing the trust that Ash was showing him, realized that he wanted to do everything he could to try and win this for him. Mustering up his courage, Caterpie stared down Pinsir, ready to act on a moment's notice if he was ordered to.

Smirking at the bond the two were showing, John decided to start the battle again, "Pinsir use Vicegrip!" At the command, Pinsir charged at the small bug type with the intent to grab it.

"Caterpie, dodge it with String Shot!" Ash yelled. The worm Pokémon spat out a stream of silk that hit one of the trees, and proceeded to pull himself out of the way. Seeing the way that Caterpie moved when using String Shot brought a memory to Ash.

Flashback (first one ever)

Ash was walking around Prof. Oak's ranch, visiting the Pokémon that trainers left there in the old man's care. The school he went to had just finished lessons for the day, so Ash, with little to do after going home to check in with his mother, decided to visit the professor. Upon arriving at the lab, Ash couldn't find the professor so he asked one of the assistants, and was told that he was outside looking over some of the Pokémon.

When Ash finally found the professor he was taking care of a bruised Pokémon that looked like it had gotten into a fight. "Professor?" Ash asked.

"Oh hello Ash. Is school over for the day then?" the professor said while he continued to make sure the Pokémon was alright.

"Yeah, I figured I'd come over to play with the Pokémon and visit you." Ash said with a smile on his face.

"Well it's nice to see you." the old man said kindly. He often thought of Ash as a second grandson with how often he'd come to see him or talk to him.

"What happened to the Pokémon?" Ash asked, seeing that Prof. Oak was almost finished treating the injuries.

"Well, one of the trainers recently sent me a Ponyta that has a bit of an anger problem, and it keeps picking fights with the other Pokémon." This surprised Ash, since he'd seen a few Ponyta around the ranch, and they were much smaller than the Pokémon that the professor was currently treating. When he voiced his thoughts, the professor chuckled and started to explain, "Well that may be the case, but I've noticed that this Ponyta is much faster than the average one." Seeing that Ash was confused at this he continued to explain, "Let's say I were to hit two rocks together, one being bigger than the other." Getting a nod of understanding from the boy he continued, "The bigger rock will always do more than the little one. However, if I were to let the smaller rock build up speed, then when the two hit the smaller rock will hit harder because of the momentum."

Thinking over this, Ash eventually managed to put what he was just told into words he could understand. "So, if something is moving really fast, then when it stops, it will be like something bigger hit the thing?"

Smiling at the way that the young boy put it, Oak nodded his head. "Yes that's right, Ash" With that he finished treating the Pokémon and put away his tools, leaving Ash to go and play.

Seeing that the conversation was over, Ash ran off to go play with the Pokémon around the ranch.

Flashback end...

'I really don't know how that reminded me of that conversation, but I'm glad that it did. Maybe now Caterpie has a chance of beating Pinsir.' Ash thought to himself, working out a strategy in his head to give Caterpie the advantage. "Caterpie use string shot again!" Ash ordered, causing the bug Pokémon to shoot another stream of silk and started to pull himself to the other edge of the clearing. 'Almost there…' Ash thought as Caterpie started to get closer to Pinsir, until he was almost at the stag beetle and Ash yelled out, "Use Tackle on Pinsir!" This order surprised everyone in the clearing.

As he was flying through the air, Caterpie heard the order and slightly tucked himself in to make the most of his tiny size. To the shock of everyone, excluding Ash, Caterpie knocked back Pinsir a fair distance, causing its eyes to widen in shock at the pain from such a tiny Pokémon.

John took a moment to realize what had happened. "He used the momentum from String Shot to power up Tackle…" he said quietly to himself.

Cynthia however, was surprised. 'He thought of something like that on the fly? And he's only been traveling for a week?' She was certain that Ash would make quite a name for himself in time.

Seeing that Pinsir had recovered, John ordered another Vicegrip, which to his irritation was dodged easily. 'I knew I should have taught Pinsir some other moves.' He was regretting his decision to post pone teaching Pinsir new moves. As it was, he would have to get lucky to land a hit on Caterpie thanks to its tiny size. Seeing only one chance for him to win, he made a decision to use his only other attack and called, "Focus Energy!"

Ash remembered what happened to Machop when it used Focus Energy, and knew he couldn't let Pinsir finish or his defeat would be all but assured. "Caterpie, hit Pinsir with string shot!" Sensing the urgency in Ash's voice, Caterpie hit Pinsir with one last stream of silk, and pulled himself towards Pinsir while it was still focusing. "Finish it with Tackle!" he yelled in triumph as Caterpie managed to close the distance between the two and landed a crushing Tackle on the unprepared stag beetle.

Pinsir stood still for a moment before he fell to the ground in a crumpled heap, clearly unconscious.

John was amazed by the fact that his Pinsir had been beaten by a Caterpie, and a young one at that. This brought him to a conclusion as he compared Ash to the other trainers that he had battled from pallet town. 'The others may become good trainers, but Ash seems to be born for this. Saying he'll be great seems to be an understatement.' "Pinsir return." Returning the knocked out Pokémon to his Pokéball, John made his way over to Ash and the two shook hands. "Thanks for the great match Ash."

"It was mostly luck I think, but I'm really proud of Caterpie for his hard work." Ash said modestly while he smiled at the Pokémon that was standing beside him. Suddenly to his surprise, Caterpie began covering himself with the silk he was using for string shot earlier. At first he didn't know what was happening, until he noticed that the shape that Caterpie was starting to take was that of a Metapod. 'Caterpie's evolving!' he thought, proud of his Pokémon.

Before long, the cocoon finished forming, and Metapod was finished evolving and stood before Ash, John, Cynthia, and Pikachu. "Met?" the cocoon Pokémon asked in a quiet voice, which prompted Pikachu, who had recovered from earlier to an extent, to make his way over to his new friend.

Cynthia noticed as she walked over to John and Ash that Ash hadn't said much on Caterpie's evolution. 'I guess he hasn't seen evolution firsthand before. Strange, considering he lives around Prof. Oak.' she thought. As she came to a stop by the two trainers, she noticed the look of pride and joy that Ash was sending at Metapod, which brought a smile to her face.

After a few moments, Ash walked over to his new Metapod, which felt somewhat odd to say since he'd only just gotten used to having a Caterpie with him. Kneeling down, Ash smiled at Metapod and put a hand on the top of the cocoon Pokémon's head. "Thanks for the win buddy. You did it!" He started off normally and finished with a louder voice, not quite shouting but still could be heard through the clearing.

"We'd better get the Pokémon that were battling treated Ash." Cynthia said, which brought Ash back to the present.

"I have a house nearby that I keep my supplies in for my training." John said as he walked towards the edge of the clearing that he had been standing in front of when the three had first crossed paths.

"Okay, but… uh…" Ash started, and brought the attention of the other two trainers to him, both giving him a questioning look.

"Yes?" Cynthia said, for some reason feeling the need to face palm.

"Which way did we come from?" This made John look at him with a look that said "WTF?" while Cynthia gave into her now understandable urge to face palm.

"You didn't move more than to go over to that edge of the clearing, how did you lose track of where we entered from?" Cynthia asked while thinking to herself 'He said his sense of direction sucks but this is worse than I could have ever imagined.'

"Well, I kind of got lost in the moment with the battle and wasn't really paying attention." Ash said while scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

"Just follow us" Cynthia said while sighing. With that the three trainers started walking off to start healing their injured or tired Pokémon.

After about 15 minutes or so, the three came to a small log cabin in a cleared area of the woods. "Well, here's my cabin." John said as he stopped at the door. Walking in, they noticed that there were a lot of things pertaining to insects, such as books, bug catching nets and other things.

Walking over to a cupboard in a corner of the room, John removed a few potions and grabbed a small diamond shaped item that was completely unfamiliar to Ash. Releasing the Metapod from earlier, John proceeded to apply the potion to the injuries from Pikachu's Thundershock.

Ash noticed the look on Metapod's face as John applied the potion, "What's with Metapod? It looks kind of irritated." he asked Cynthia.

"Well" she started, "we haven't figured out why, but no matter what Pokémon is treated with them, they always cause some kind of irritation such as stinging or something like that." She explained to which Ash nodded.

"So what's the little diamond?" Ash asked after a moment's thought.

"Well that's a Revive. It's a pill that acts kind of like smelling salts for humans, while working somewhat like a potion to revitalize a Pokémon." Cynthia explained again.

After John had finished treating Metapod, he returned it and released Pinsir, who still seemed like he'd be out for a few hours. Grabbing the Revive, he held it in front of the stag beetle, which caused it to stir somewhat and make a motion, not unlike when one would take in a smell. After this, John placed the little diamond shaped pill in the stag beetle's mouth, which it then proceeded to chew and swallow. After swallowing it, its eyes opened and it stood back up.

After looking at the bug type, Cynthia figured that it was still somewhat younger than most of their kind was when in the ownership of a trainer. "Your Pinsir is a bit younger than most that trainers are in possession of." she said to John.

"Well, Pinsir was actually hatched from an egg that was given to me by my father. He figured it would be better for me to raise the Pokémon from scratch so I would be able to work well with it." John explained. "Since Pinsir is my first Pokémon, I decided I wanted to be a master of bug types one day." he continued.

Ash then was reminded of his dream when he started his journey, to be a Pokémon master. Now that he thought about it, he had no clue how to go about doing that. Seeing John so sure of his goal and having it set so clearly for him to pursue, it made Ash want to rethink his goals, he still wanted to become a Pokémon master for sure, but he was brought down to earth by the incident with the Spearow. 'I'll think about it a little later I guess.' he decided.

After he was done with his thoughts for the moment, Ash was handed a potion by John who he looked at for a moment.

"For Pikachu." he simply stated.

"Oh." Ash said as he gave a grateful smile to the aspiring bug master. Walking over to Pikachu he crouched down to the little Pokémon and held the potion at the ready for a moment, before turning back to the other two trainers. "What exactly am I looking for to apply the potion to?" this question prompted a sweat drop from both trainers while Ash waited for an answer.

Pikachu looked at his trainer and sighed at him. 'I hope that he gets better about these things…' he thought, then added 'And I PRAY that his stupidity isn't contagious!' After that he was satisfied with his thoughts.

Sighing, Cynthia decided she might as well help Ash with this. "Pay attention alright, I'm only doing this to show you what you should be looking for." she said, to which she received a confirmation. She spent the next few minutes treating the little mouse Pokémon while making sure to occasionally scratch him behind the ears to relieve some of the obvious irritation.

After treating the mouse Pokémon, Ash and Cynthia both said their farewells to John, with Ash and John agreeing to a rematch in the future. The two then set off down the path, with Cynthia ensuring that she was leading them due to Ash's impossibly bad sense of direction, which she still wondered about since the boy had a compass AND map; how he could get so hopelessly lost made no sense to her. She gave up trying to figure these things out and went back to enjoying her new journey with Ash and Pikachu.

While the two trainers walked, they were also being watched by three pairs of eyes that held nothing but ill intent, and were waiting for a moment to strike at the two while they trekked through viridian forest.

A/N that's it for chapter 5.

I was shocked with how many people I got to start reading this with the last chapter, and honestly it is really cool to know I have made something people are enjoying.

In regards to the capitalization, I really am trying to get that fixed, but word is only listing off a few of the obvious problems with that.

As stated in my response to Brother of Kane's review, I'm going to be making a poll on my profile, I will be using it later, but I wanted you all to decide on it. I am going to be giving Ash a legendary down the line but I will only be giving him one as far as I know. it will be a two part poll.

As always, I'd like to know what needs work, since the capitalization is apparently still an issue. Constructive criticism is always welcome as long as it's actually giving advice and not just flaming me.

Thanks again to Uranium235 for beta reading this.

Thanks for reading,
