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're both really strong electric types! I've seen lots of trainers with great Pikachu. [But Raichu are so big and great and strong and reliable and cool and...] I just like Raichu better. Besides, I'll need Raichu for my Pokédex anyway.

[championfire]

...Oh? Are you trying to fill it up? { Also, Have a tail wave from Pikachu.} You'll have to find one, and we can have a battle of electric mice.

[spiritcrystal]

You got it! Getting badges and beating up Team Rocket just comes with the territory.

[Hi Pikachu! Wave wave!] Maybe I'll find one here. If I do, we'll definitely take you up on that.

[But for now? She's grabbing that grassy Stantler thing. Sorry Pikachu/Raichu looking thing. Maybe they'll meet again later.]

[championfire]

Wait, you mean their still around? I thought Giovanni said he was going to stop all that. { Man...you trust a villain to do the right thing and see where it gets you.

You can have one happy "Pika!" sound. Attention of all kinds is adored.} I hope so, it would be kind of fun to see who can raise a certain Pokémon the best.

[spiritcrystal]

[Yes, yes! That would be great, but... Team Rocket. Her expression sours a little.]

I know that weird creepy guy pretended he was Giovanni, but I haven't seen their boss yet. Have you met him before? What's he like?

[championfire]

Pretended? ...So it's not him leading the show again? He's...{ How do you summarize an evil jerk who doesn't seem so evil in the end.}

He wasn't too bad, I mean he agreed to disband Team Rocket after I beat him for his badge.

[spiritcrystal]

Mister Kurt said that Team Rocket was disbanded for three years, but they've started up again lately.

[...Hold up.] You did what?

[championfire]

...Yeah, that would be about that time frame.

{ Rubbing the back of his head. Erk. Man last person he told freaked out so...lets play it smart.} ... ...I didn't say anything.
