Welcome/Welcome back, you crazy diamonds!

[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!]

[Which it does, unfortunately. Taking it completely out. This, unfortunately leaves him with one choice. Camerupt. He throws it out.]

Amnesia!

[Getting it's Special Defense up.]

Rock Slide!

[Anything to at least stay in the game, but he knows he's at a disadvantage with having only half of Archie's Pokemon. Still. Worth a shot.]

[The Rock Slide attack hurts, but Poliwrath withstands it. That's good, seeing as how Poliwrath usually goes down in one hit. Archie grins.]

Finish it! Waterfall!

[That waterfall not only hit Camerupt but also got him all soaking wet are you proud of yourself Archie? Yes. He grunted and withdrew Camerupt.]

Where did you get all those extra Pokemon anyways?!

[Of course he's proud of himself! Just look at how hard he's grinning!]

I took some time off to train. Something you might wanna think about doing in the future if you ever hope to beat me. Not that it'll help, of course.
