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!]

[Hey, what's the big idea?

...Is what he might have said if he wasn't busy being completly captivated.

Fossil Pokémon. Rare ones. He's only heard of them in passing from his dad and in books, but here they are, right in front of him...!



But which does he choose? Just look at them! Dad would be so proud of him if he brought one of these home or even just learned about it!]

[lovestalked]

[You better choose quick because this douche rival is definitely eying those three mons. If he had glasses he'd be adjusting them, but nah. He's got 20/20 vision he don't need no stinkin' glasses.]

Hmm, fascinating! I've never seen these types before. They're not registering on the Pokédex either....

[reversemoon]

It makes sense. I've never heard of anything like them being anywhere near Kanto or... [...Wait.]

...You have a Pokédex?

[lovestalked]

[Brendan doesn't seem to register he's being spoken to right away. Not until he takes not of the keywords: Pokédex.]

Heh, sorry I didn't notice you there. That's right, I do!

[reversemoon]

But only those rocket losers have them. Did you steal it? Are you from some other region?

[Stealing it is totally an okay thing because you're stealing from Team Rocket and that's great in his book-]

[lovestalked]

...what.

[This is Brendan. This is Brendan when he's offended.]

I'll have you know, this was entrusted to me by my D-...Father, Professor Birch. I'm helping him with his research. And no it wasn't stolen.

[reversemoon]

Never heard of him. [Just Professor Oak and that one guy in Johto- what's his name again?...] I thought dexes were just weird cheaty battle tools. [...But it makes sense, doesn't it? Don't they record information on Pokémon?...]

[goldenlyre]

[They look so cool...!]

Choose the one with the big eyebrows! She-- He? It looks sooooo cute!

[reversemoon]

[...That girl looks a little like Crys except not at all. Uh.]

You think so? [He was hoping for something a little cooler instead of, well, cute, but it does look pretty interesting...]

[goldenlyre]

[Come on, red jacket or not you're obviously Silver.

Just.

Cheerful and kind of dorky looking.

She is all friendly and over this, man. Silver being friendly or considering other's opinions and even looking excited is like a one in a million chance!]

Definitely! But if you want to be as cool as your wardrobe, I guess the one with the furry neck is a good choice... I'd still totally choose the flowy one though.

1/2

[reversemoon]

[...Some pretty older girl is calling him cool--]

[reversemoon]

No, you're totally right. The flowy one's obviously the best choice. [And the one he's taking right now. Yes.]

You wouldn't mind taking one though, right? They're all rare, so I'd love to see them all in action.

[goldenlyre]

[You're so lucky she's into redheads, darling, so lucky. This is definitely a side of Silver she's never seen before and it's tickling her pink!!

Sprouty, on the other hand, is forever weirded out. Lyra, Lyra, please.]

Oh, I'd love to! I guess I'll just take the far left-- [Oooor not. She'd be greedy if she did, and they're gone anyway...

Aww.]

[reversemoon]

[Where did they- what-

but but but but but--]

[reversestar]

[Oh, it's the kind-of-a-dork. And he's got some cool rare fossil Pokémon.

Personally, she'd go for the turtle. But that might be her turtle bias talking.]

You're pretty lucky to get these three to choose from.

[reversemoon]

[...He knows that voice. He knows it and doesn't take kindly do it.]

Yeah. No evil hands allowed.

[reversestar]

[Wow, rude.]

I don't want them. [She'll just get Gold to take them or... honestly, she's not even sure Gold wins half the time he runs off to bully Silver, but hey.] Do you even know which one you want?

[reversemoon]

[Yes of course he does what are you-]

...Well, no. [He'd love to take all of them, but that's not very heroic of him, is it?] So what? What's it to you?

[reversestar]

[Hahahaaa loser. Er. Oh, too bad...]

I was just going to offer some help! Like, for example, you should pick the turtle one. It's cute and looks friendly and kind of dorky, like you.




[did she call him cute]

[reversemoon]

[did she call him cute

you know what

he's just

gonna pick this one yeah the long neck one sure no way he's picking the one she likes--]

[reversesun]

[hahaha look at the loser.

trying to decide between three

Guess I'll be takin' one of these, since you're havin' trouble choosin'. [come HERE brown dinothing--]

[reversemoon]

[What the-] Hey! Hands off, thief! [He's grabbing one of them at random first, so there--!]

[reversesun]

[-- oh, what, bogus it's gone!!

humph.]

I ain't a thief if you ain't plannin' on taking one. [not that he can now. whatever. he grins, leaning on his cuestick.] So, whatcha grab, nerd?

[reversemoon]

Excuse me for trying to use my brain, stupid. I know that's hard for you. [...He has no idea which one he picked. Time to send it out.




Of course he picked the cute girly one. Of course.]

[reversesun]

[hahahahahaha.]

That so fits you. [he's gonna kick around the grass for some balls too--

ay ay ayyyy that is what he's talking about!! the one he wanted in the first place, and two others gold doesn't really care about. c'mere t-rex thing.] Looks like it's my lucky day! Let's have a battle so I can kick your butt.
