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!]

[Nicknames. Great, now he wishes he came across a more familiar Pokémon instead.]

I'll be taking this one.

[Time to go for the dinosaur looking one.]

Heh, thanks kid! Say, what's your name? My name's Brendan.

[reversemoon]

[Good choice. The third one looks disappointed, but... Oh well.]

My name's Silver. I'm from Viridian City. [My dad's the gym leader, too! ...Is what he wants to say, but he should curb his enthusiasm on that front before he loses this guy's attention.

Besides, he can let out his Pokémon now!]

[lovestalked]

Nice to meet you, Silver. ...hey, do you have a PokéNav by any chance? We can keep in touch that way, and it'd be more convenient if we knew how to reach one another.

[reversemoon]

[...Uh.] I've got a Pokégear, if that works. [PokéNav. Sounds fancy.]

[lovestalked]

[...what is a Pokégear? An upgrade part for a PokéNav?]

Sure? I mean, it's worth giving it a try if you've got a number I can store.

[He's pulling his PokéNav out and ready.]

[reversemoon]

[He pushes the sleeve of his jacket back to show his Pokégear! ...They're totally compatible and they can give each other their numbers pretty easy.

[lovestalked]

[Whoa, so that's a Pokégear. Brendan's pulling his PokéNav closer AND-!

...nothing.]

...that's funny, I'm pretty sure the batteries aren't dead.
