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!]

[-- 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.

[reversemoon]

[Are you shitting him why did you get one of- hold the fucking phone]

You want to battle with them already?

[reversesun]

Figures you're too chicken.

[oh, well, can't be helped. he tosses the pokemon's ball up and down, then lets out the dino. what a roar! he likes.]

[reversemoon]

Who are you calling a chicken, loser?!

[Did he just call you a chicken, master

I will destroy him, he has challenged the honor of our family

bring it on pipsqueak I ain't afraid of your dumb dinosaur]

[reversesun]

[hahahaha.]

Looks like you've already stolen that girly thing's heart, nerd! That's rich! Let's kick his butt, Dinobro. I'll even let you get first hit as a handicap.

[roaaar can they do it later he wants to sleep... oh, fine, let's battle...]

[reversemoon]

[He is so damn rude ugh ugh ugh--]

I'm not sure what moves you know, so I'm just gonna have to trust you to do your best! Kick his butt!

[Sorry Dinobuddy down there he's gonna have to beat you up now because your trainer's talking shit

but first he is stunning you with Thunder Wave-]

[reversesun]

[yeah, yeah, this not how dinobro envisioned his day to go.

and that makes him mad.

so prepare for a tantrum!!! toss himself at the girly buddy with a slammin' tackle, man.]

[reversemoon]

[Amaura growls fiercely upon being tackled! She's nearly knocked off her feet, but manages to push her weight forward enough to stand her ground...




And then she blasts the tiny fucker with Powder Snow.]

[reversesun]

[HE CAN WEATHER IT HE CAN WEATHER IT HE CAN...

brrr gold is trying not to shiver but it's hard not too, wow. cold.

dinobro is pretty stoned himself, not really wanting to move to conserve what energy he's got left but not wanting to be in the cold, and with a lesser roar he

sits down.

nope.]

Aw, come on! You can still stand!

[yeah, well. dinobro don't fancy the cold, and if he doesn't want to fight he's not going to.

(my doesn't that arrogance sound familiar.)]

1/2

[reversemoon]

[reversemoon]

...You're really strong.

[And Dinobro's super lazy. Here partner, headfive.] That was... Icy Wind, right? [No no try again-] Powder Snow? [Yes that's much better.] Powder Snow. [And Thunder Wave.]

[reversesun]

[if this tyrunt was anyone else's pokemon, gold would call it pathetic and useless.

but it is his.

so he pulls the dino out of the snow and takes off his hoodie, putting it on his new buddy. dinobro... really appreciates that, yeah, have a nuzzle.]

You and me're gonna have to work on your attitude towards battles, dude, and then we'll rule the world. 'Cause I know you're strong. Nerd over there just got lucky with that hotheaded thing.

[... yeah! yeah he is, he just didn't feel like battling. he'll kick that girly dino's butt next time.]

[reversemoon]

Hey, Rora. You mind if I call you that? Your head's pretty, like an Aurora Beam.

[That is her new name! She likes this name. It is hers. Much like the gorgeous aurora beam, she will bring ice upon you and freeze you where you stand until your heart stops and there is nothing left of you but a cold frozen carcass-]

Powder Snow.

[ENJOY THE WAVE OF SNOW GOLD]

[reversesun]

[AHHHH SCREW YOU IT'S ON!!]

Charbro! Ember!

[CHAAAAR yes hello i am here to BURN YOU.]

[reversemoon]

[Whoa whoa hey no come back Rora-]

Rhyhorn! Stomp! [I laugh at your flames punk]

[reversesun]

[dinobro will sLAM CHARBRO OUT OF THE WAY that is a violent way to do it and actually might've hurt worse but whatever right--]

Bubble!

[scuttle scuttle scuttle pew pew pew krabro is ON TOP OF THIS!!]

[reversemoon]

[Nope nope nope he is not letting you hit Rhyhorn with bubbles screw you come here Sneasel]

Faint Attack!

[Hey crab boy you want a peace of my claws no well too damn bad]

[reversesun]

[okay ow wow no scuttle scuttle away.]

Get the jump on him!

[yea aibro will!!! scratch scratch scratch!! and charbro's ember too. dodge that you acrobatic screwball--]

[reversemoon]

[Shit Gold's using all of his Pokémon at once okay uh-

Wait doesn't Powder Snow hit everything-]

Use Powder Snow one more time!

[Everyone taste some cold okay

Sneasel gets scratched up but two can play at this game! Scratch scratch scratch!

Rhyhorn is headbutting Charbro get out of here

And to top it off, he sends out Phanpy- it's not a great match, but Phanpy can use Rollout to keep Krabby busy, right?--]

[reversesun]

[right, right, phanpy can do that. bubbles!!!

scratch scratch scratch!!

why does rhyhorn have such a hard head rrrrr scratch???

brrrr.

dinobro will valiantly run through the snow to slam into rora though, however ineffectual it might be since his energy's slowly going too.

this isn't looking entirely good for gold but he's kind of acting like he doesn't really care how it goes.]

[reversemoon]

Rora, use Thunder Wave on his Krabro!

[...Is what he said before Dinobro slammed into her, but she shakes him off by blowing more snow at him and goes to help out Phanpy anyway. ...Which is good, because Phanpy's taking the bubbles only a little less poorly than Rhyhorn did.

Rhyhorn's worn out, but at least Charbro's a joke. Sneasel's worn out, but at least Aibro's even with him. If he has to go down, he's taking him down with him.

All of them really want to impress their trainer, after all...]

Hey, at least take this seriously! Don't you care about your own Pokémon at all? They're fighting for you!

[reversesun]

'Course I care about them! I trust them too, which is why I'm letting them do what they want. I ain't gotta micromanage them like you and Crys do. We're connected.

[because they're his family. might be the same for silver and his posse, but he doesn't really care about that.

all but aibro's returned in a minute though, and the monkey tries to give sneasel one more tailsmack before he climbs onto gold's shoulder. his partners are tired and that's alright.]

[reversemoon]

You're so full of it! You just let your Pokémon do all the hard work while you sit on your lazy butt and do nothing!

[In fact his anger over this matter is making him pick a fist fight with Gold like right now]
