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!]

[She points her pokedex at Honedge.

ERROR: NO DATA FOUND]

... I don't know. Nobody seems to know much about it either.

[reachforfreedom]

[...oh]

That's a problem especially if you plan on battling with it.

[typeless]

[She sighs in annoyance]

I wish I knew where it was from. It would be somewhere to start.

[reachforfreedom]

It's too bad there's no telling who knows, and who doesn't.

[He's studying Honedge still.]

We can rule out Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh too. So what other regions does that leave us with? Unova...? Hm...

[typeless]

... I know of Unova, and I haven't heard of a pokemon like this before.

[Honedge seems pleased with all his attention.]

[reachforfreedom]

I know a little about that place, but not enough about its Pokémon.

[Oh Honedge, you look like a fairly useful nice pokémon.]

Then what other regions does that leave us with? I doubt it's from Orre...

[typeless]

[Yes, yes keep thinking that.]

Orre doesn't have a lot of pokemon to begin with...

[reachforfreedom]

Yeah, you don't hear about any new discoveries there either. ...so what other regions do we have left?

[typeless]

... I haven't heard of any.

But I'm clearly behind.

[reachforfreedom]

[Sigh]

Same. I feel old, not being able to keep up with all these new Pokémon...

[typeless]

It's annoying. I should be up to date on this.

[reachforfreedom]

I can agree with you there. It'd be nice to not be out of the loop.
