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!]

[She nods.]

But it's your choice or not! I don't know if we have to choose one either [but she did, because finally ¡¡ being a pokémon trainer !! is her life's one true dream and wish and hope] but it does say please...

[triplefinish]

[It does say please, doesn't it...]

What did you pick? [Maybe that will help a little in our decision-making?]

[betabangs]

I didn't have the same choices you did... [Huff! She's probably pick Pikachu if she did.] Mine were a cute little girl Nidoran, a Bulbasaur, and an Ekans!

[She chose Bulbasaur!! Because her new trainer friend suggested it to her.]

[triplefinish]

Oh. [...] I had a Bulbasaur, but it's since evolved into an Ivysaur now.

[Nidoran is kind of cute, while Ekans...well, there's probably someone out there who likes them and isn't just a member of Team Rocket.]

[betabangs]

[Blue liked Ekans! She just... was reassured that she'd be able to meet an Ekans again one day in her Pokémon Trainer future. She's gonna have one, the cutest little girl with a snake. Yeah.]

After that it's Venasaur, right? I can't wait! [She's never owned a Pokémon, or trained one or anything

but she knows all about them from... from... she doesn't remember how, but she knows all 150 of them!

(Minus Mewtwo, who is an abomination. Shhh.)]

[triplefinish]

Yes, that's right. [He nods, actually smiling a little more now.] They're good companions to have.

[Maybe someday his Ivysaur will evolve into a Venasaur, but for now it seems content the way it is at the moment.]
