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!]

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]

[reversesun]

[yeah c'mere c'mon fist fights are one of the things he's solidly good at.

aibro will be helping out too yea yea actually no he's going to climb down since gold's got this.]

Well, you're hardly work to do! Why should I waste any kinda energy on someone like you, huh?

[reversemoon]

That's right, I almost forgot! [He's gonna rip your damn hair out so help him-] According to you, you're the only person that matters! It's a wonder your Pokémon even bother with you!

[reversesun]

My family's the only thing that matters, actually! [enjoy your stupid bite marks, ginger snap.] When I'm Boss, you'll see what that's all about! And I trust them to do their stuff too! You're the one who skips out on his dad!

[reversemoon]

I spend time with my dad all the time! He's a perfect dad, and a way better parent than your two demon moms will ever be!

[He doesn't even notice the bites at this point; all he wants to do is do something, anything to try to get through to Gold, even just a little.]

[reversesun]

[ha ha ha good luck.]

My moms are great! And one's totally good lookin', you know, way better than that stud muffin of a dad you got! Whatever I ask for I'm sure to get, and if they need something I return the favor! That's how family is!

[reversemoon]

So they spoil you and make you do terrible things! They're awful parents and you're an awful kid!

[reversesun]

Make me? [he pauses long enough to scoff, but it's back to business.] Silver, Silver, Silver. You've got so much to learn! I ain't forced to do what I'm good at!

[reversemoon]

That's even worse! You're terrible! I hope you die pathetic and alone with no one willing to help you!

[reversesun]

[was that supposed to hurt?

because he's gonna start laughing.

laughing and pushing away, actually, if he can.]

I ain't gotta worry about that, 'cause I'm gonna be the Rocket Boss one day. I'll have pretty much everyone in the world standin' with me when that day comes.

[reversemoon]

You won't get the chance to be. We'll dismantle Team Rocket. [It's not too difficult to push him away; he's bitten and bruised and while he still has the effort to keep beating the crap out of Gold, a pause is enough to make him glance at his Pokémon and realize that they're tuckered out and worried about him.

Dammit...]

[reversesun]

[gold ain't in any better shape, though lacking those wonderful bites, and aibro climbs back onto his shoulder. he scratches under the aipom's chin as he shrugs.]

Yeah, sure, whatever you say. That's been the same thing you've been sayin' for what, a while now? Ain't seen nothin' yet. Maybe you'll have a better shot when you're not a total geek.

[so, never. or when you get older and bam boners everywhere]

[reversemoon]

Don't act so confident. You don't have a single hold on Kanto. [...But that's more because of Red, Blue, and Yellow than because of him...] And you're in just as bad of a shape as me. You're no better than I am.

[reversesun]

Like you got any hand in that, it's just those pains. Besides, I'm tons better. We've both got bruises and blood, sure, but I ain't the one sportin' bite marks.

[yeah. grinning. maybe he'll sharpen his teeth for next time.]

[reversemoon]

Yeah, you're a savage. Congratulations. [Man those bites hurt...]
