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!]

...You know, I think the same thing happened to me. [regards new Pokeball with bemusement.] Maybe it's a good omen. Nothing bad ever comes of making a new Pokemon friend.

[tidaldrum]

I guess. [he's still not totally sold on it.] I just hope it won't be too upset that I won't actually use it in battle.

[reflecttype]

Mm, that usually depends. But I wouldn't worry - there's all kinds of ways to bond with Pokemon. What kind of Pokemon did you get?

[tidaldrum]

[UH.]

...A Happiny. [Rare? Sure! On his list of things he'd consider using? Nnnot really.] She's really cute and wouldn't stop crying unless I picked her.

[reflecttype]

She must be very happy to be with you. [no judgment here, kid] Do you not usually raise Normal-types?
