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!]

They are?

[He... didn't even know that. Huh. That's kinda weird.]

... Huh. [Well, if this person knows their types, maybe--] Do you know what Pokemon they are? I've never seen them.

[reflecttype]

Oh, yes. The first is one I don't often see, but its name is Pachirisu. The second is Emolga, an Electric- and Flying-type Pokemon from the Unova region - and the third is Dedenne, an Electric- and Fairy-type from the Kalos region.

[Ah, yes. This is always something she can talk about.]

[pokemonmaster]

I haven't heard of any of those.

[But they look kinda cool... or at least, cute. And hey wait a minute.]

... Fairy type?

[reflecttype]

It's a type that wasn't well-known outside of Kalos until just recently. It seems to have the advantage over Dark-, Fighting-, and Dragon-types.

[pokemonmaster]

Oh.

[Makes a lot of sense. That sounds really cool though wow!!]

It sounds like it's really useful. Dragon-types are tricky to fight.

[f u Lance.]

[reflecttype]

They are an awfully formidable type, aren't they? The average power levels of Dragon-type Pokemon outstrip those of other types by nearly a fifth, and they resist attacks from some of the most common Pokemon types...but it just goes to show that no type is unbeatable. Every Pokemon can be at an advantage or disadvantage.

[SCIENCE]

[pokemonmaster]

And most can be beat even if they have an advantage.

[Just gotta hit hard enough!!]

It definitely saves time though. I think I'll pick Dedenne.
