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!]

[...well okay sure you go ahead and talk to that dog if you want. Cress doesn't really mind. Furfrou, meanwhile...

What, he just got this new human and you want him to let it go already? Are you stupid?? No way, it's clean and blue and pretty and he's going to keep this one forever and ever and give it a fancy-pants nickname and practice cool moves with it and if anyone touches his new human he's gonna- (etc)

Obviously none of this is actually coming out of the Pokemon's mouth, but the absolutely scathing look he gives Bob probably speaks louder than words.]

[My goodness! His eyes have been opened to the error of his ways! He misunderstood the relationship between trainers and pokémon this whole time. Ah, this Pokémon helped in this process of discovery-

Would be the thought he might have if he could speak Pokémon, but he can't. So instead he's just squatting there and staring back at Furfrou.]

Are you really just going to stay here? Don't you want to leave???

[drittegewurz]

[GLARE GLARE GLARE is the Furfrou's reply, again. It's probably still inwardly ranting. But it sits down on its hind legs to match Bob like a civilized doggy.

In the background, those Lillipups have finally started to calm down a bit, allowing Cress a moment to get his bearings. Let's see, if they're on this part of the Island, then...]

[gruntinglurve]

[Oh, what a good doggy. Bob just keeps staring before he eventually reaches out with the happiest of all happiest looks.]

You're kind of cute, can I pet you?

[...yeah he's the worst grunt.]

[drittegewurz]

[What do you mean KIND o-
PET? PETTINGS? DID YOU SAY PETTINGS?

SUDDENLY Bob has three Lillipups up in his face. And in front of his hand. And staring up at him expectantly. ARE YOU DOING PETTINGS ARE YOU WILL YOU PET US TOO yip yip yip :D :D 8D]

[gruntinglurve]

[Oh no..... ALL OF THEM ARE SO CUTE WHO DOES HE PET FIRST?!]

Aww, come here you lil' cutie. Who's a good dog? Who's a good dog?

[He's technically speaking to all of them as he starts petting and giving scritches to them. Wow, what about releasing Pokémon???

F- Plasma Grunt.]
