Welcome/Welcome back, you crazy diamonds!

[spiritcrystal]

[An island! This is most certainly not where everyone was just a few moments ago. ...Alright, maybe some of you were on an island. Don't get cheeky.

At everyone's feet is a small note. It gives no description of their location or explanation, of course; it only says one simple thing.

Please choose one.

The note comes along with three Pokéballs with different "starter" Pokémon in them- the three Pokémon can be anything, from a Froakie, Charmander, and Treecko to a Rattata, Patrat, and Bidoof if you're particularly unlucky- and everything in between. If it's not a legendary Pokémon, it's fair game.

Of course, you can only pick one! Trying to go for a second will leave you thinking that you better not get too greedy. If you're one of those types that wouldn't care either way, the other two Pokéballs will simply disappear.

Now go forth, and into a world of Pokémon!]

As small as it is, I'd be a bit surprised if it didn't. But I've been surprised before.

[The Sandile following Terra wanders up next to her to size the Froakie up for itself - from a safe distance. After a moment it chirps* the Sandile equivalent of "you've got potential, kid", which makes Terra raise an eyebrow.]

((OOC: *Yes, crocodiles do chirp in real life, at least young ones do. Crocodiles are noisy suckers.))

Yeah, I thought Mawile would evolve into something bigger, but apparently not!

[Archie glances down at the Pokémon, trying to keep from smiling at them. They're kind of cute, alright.

Froakie certainly seems pleased with Sandile's words, puffing up his little chest and managing to swagger-hop around.]

[terra_et_sol]

Exactly. There's always a few like those. Mawile, Sableye, Dunsparce. I've seen Mawile and Sableye live in caves where Aggron lair.

[Sandile's just sensing the potential for a Dark-type there, really. It just smirks as well as you can smirk with a mouth that takes up two-thirds of your face, swishing its tail across the ground.]

[torrential]

I guess they can take care of themselves, then! I've never tried training any of 'em, so I wouldn't know.

[terra_et_sol]

I've really only seen them. I'm interested in Ground-types, mostly. A specialist, you might say.
