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!]

[!!!] Really? You're a brand new trainer? [How- Crys you just got your first Pokémon a couple months ago how?]

Then... Do you know how to catch a Pokémon? That's a really important thing for trainers to know how to do!

[betabangs]

[Well it'd a long story but you probably don't want to hear it --]

Nope! I didn't even know how to let Bulbasaur out until Red showed me.

[spiritcrystal]

[Alright. It's time for Kris to be a responsible helper and teach this girl a thing or two about Pokémon.]

Let's go find some wild Pokémon, then. I'll help you out.

[betabangs]

Okay! Um -- where can we find them?

[spiritcrystal]

Anywhere. Pokémon are everywhere, you know!

[So she... starts to take off in a random direction! They'll run into wild Pokémon soon enough, right? Yeah!]

[betabangs]

[WAIT UP, SHE CAN'T GO AS FAST... AND NEITHER CAN HER BULBASAUR WHO, ONCE HE SEES HE'S BEING LEFT BEHIND, STARTS SCAMPERING AFTER HER

don't leeaaave meee by myseeelf]

Can you really find them anywhere?

[spiritcrystal]

[Oh, she should uh. Slow down. Right.]

Yep. They're just about everywhere.

What kinda Pokémon do you think you'd like?

[betabangs]

[Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! A really, really good question...]

Ones everyone else are scared of, and ones that are really cute, and ones that are really strong, and ones that I've never ever seen before... [So

uh

any kind??]
