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!]

{ Aw come on Sprouty, every kid has to have big dreams.}

Hopefully, you won't disappoint me. I mean if your going to talk a big game, you have to back it up.

[goldenlyre]

[Yes but they aren't dreams to her they're just things to make a horrifying reality no matter the cost.]

You won't have to worry about that one bit! ♥ [Heee.] So! What about you, huh? Did you choose anyone?

[championfire]

{ Such determination! Also, taking out a pokeball to let out, a small Pumpkaboo.}

...I'm not exactly too sure what I choose though.

[goldenlyre]

[Wow... All these Pokémon are so cute! It's like a wonderland of cuties!]

It's so small... I've never seen it before either. But judging by the way Sprouty's not shying away from it, it's at least something like a Grass-type, right?

[Sprouty can confirm this, yes. Not lethal to him. Most excellent. Wonder which eyes are the real ones...]

[championfire]

It was this, a sword, or a lion cub.

I...Yeah Grass would make sense. But Grass types don't normally float. { He'd tilt his head a bit to the side as he shrugged.} It'll be fun to figure out.

[goldenlyre]

A lion cub?! You obviously missed your chance! [Sigh!! But this is pretty cool too.

... It could be part Flying, or part Psychic, or maybe part Ghost...]

At least I can agree that it'll be fun to figure out, anyway, even if I don't agree with what you chose. [She's not too sour about it.] Oh, little pumpkin thing, tell us your secrets!

[championfire]

I have enough fire types though.

{ Pumpkaboo will resent being called a missed chance, and exploit that secret remark as a way to get revenge. The small Ghost will fly over and use trick-or-treat, and drop a small piece of candy into your hand. Though the issue is while it might look super sweet and tasty...it's actually quite sour.}

...It also does that.

[goldenlyre]

A fire lion cub? That sounds so warm!

[Oh boy, candy!

... She actually loves sour foods especially, but it's such a shock from the look of "sweet" to "it tastes super sour" that she has to gasp.]

Wow! It looks super sweet, but it's the total opposite! Hey, hey, can you make more sour candies for me? A Pokémon that can make candy is so much cooler than a lion cub!

[championfire]

I guess. Or at least it looked like a Fire-type.

{ Pumpkaboo is mildly disappointed that it's trick was so well received. Also that it can't turn you into a Ghost-type. ...But at the end it will accept the cool comment and give you some more candy.}

...I don't really get why it likes to do this so much.

[goldenlyre]

[She kisses the top of the Pumpkaboo's head after getting a handful of sour candies. Ahhhh, so good!!]

It's just a giving Pokémon, I guess! You were trying to get me back for that comment I said, right? I'm sorry.

[championfire]

I guess. { Pumpkaboo will give a happy "Boo." Nodding from your response about trying to get you back for being a jerk.}

[goldenlyre]

[See, she knows. She's got this.]

Well, if it's tricky, then it's either Dark or Ghost, right? And not many Dark-types float, so... You're so weird, I've never seen a Pokémon with your kind of typing before! [She's so happy you can even hear the ♥ in her voice!!] It's too bad I'm not really into that professory research stuff or this'd be like, way more interesting.

[It was cool, but still not her style. Not unless it pertained to archaeology. Ah yes. Lyra's at least excited because Grass type though. Pumpkin thing. Yes.]

[championfire]

{ Gurl you so ace at Pokémon.}

I don't really know much about Dark-types. We don't have too many around Kanto...but yeah most of the Ghost-types do float. { !!! Oh thanks, he hadn't thought of that before.} Professory stuff...Maybe Green will know more about it. I'll have to find him and ask.

[goldenlyre]

[Yea yea you know it boi.]

When you're good and strong, Pumpky, let's have a battle with you and Fishy. [Yes she's giving the Pumpkaboo a nickname. No shame!! Just candy, yum. And to the other trainer:] Is that okay? I think it'd be good to see how they're growing by battling with just them!

[championfire]

{ Pumpkaboo will give an enthused 'Pump'} That sounds fine, just don't be surprised when you loose.

[goldenlyre]

Oh, I won't be surprised even when I win. You're a tough competitor! A real challenge! Totally fun to battle! It can go either way! So I'm pretty okay either way.

[She'd just prefer to win, naturally.]

[championfire]

Do...you always have this much energy?

{ Same here, winning is the best.}

[goldenlyre]

Absolutely! It's best to get pumped and stay pumped! Having a lot of energy shows to your Pokémon that you're ready no matter what!

[Honestly, it just makes Sprouty tired. He does appreciate Lyra's enthusiasm, of course, but... He has a Quiet nature. He appreciates the quiet. A lot. Look at his tired face.]

[championfire]

But...He looks pretty tired. You can't always give 100%.

{ I will save you plant bro. Somehow.}
