Today. Was. The best! Wanna know why?
Because today, I got to finally take the first steps on my journey as a Pokémon Trainer!!
It was awesome. Mom and Dad set up an appointment for me to see Professor Willow, and I got to pick out my very own Pokémon.
It’s a Chimchar! I named him KEEBO, because he reminds me of a monkey boy. Lol
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Before all that went down, I woke up from this really odd dream. Well, I’m not sure if it was a dream, exactly. It felt oddly real.
I was standing outside my house and there was this boy, Luke. He seemed surprised to see me.
He went on to tell me I “slipped through” to his universe. Then he dropped me off back at my house and told me to be careful because this might happen again. He said he had no time to explain...
After that he disappeared, and that’s when Mom and Dad went out to Chocco town. Like, I never even woke up. Weird.
Anyway, after that the Professor told me I should go get a Pokédex from his friend, The Inventor, in Chocco Town. So I headed down the old Forest Pass, thinking I’d say hi to Mom and Dad while I was there. But then this old guy waved me down...
Of course, it was my dear old Mom and Dad getting attacked by a rabid Pikachu in a freaking red scarf. I mean, what else could it be, right?
Keebo and I made quick work of the little bugger. By the way, I’m not kidding, it was wearing a little red scarf.
Mom and Dad were pretty impressed by my battling skills... and they brought me stuff from Chocco Town!! Mom got me a pair of running shoes! She said to hold down the B button while using them... okay, Mom! I’ll make sure to do that... No idea what she was talking about. But it was really nice of her to get me something! :D
Dad got me an Exp. Share. I’ve heard about these! It lets your Pokémon gain experience while they’re not battling. I guess I’ll have to catch some more! I’ve got my eyes set on a Sentret. They’re oh, so adorable.
Yeah so... I was really just trying to see The Inventor so I could grab my PokéDex and start logging all the new Pokémon I’ve been seeing. But then this jerk, Percy, came blustering through the woods and announced he was looking for a Pikachu wearing a scarf. I told him I’d taken care of it already, but he didn’t seem to like that. Anyway, Percy has a level 5 Cyndaquil.
I was glad I took Keebo back to the Professor’s Lab and healed him up-- otherwise we might not have beat Percy!
After that I was finally able to get to Chocco Town, where I met The Inventor. He’s an interesting guy! Just like Professor Willow, he has a team of aides helping him. He gave me a brand new PokéDex.
Then he gave me ten Pokéballs and asked me to help him out with some of his research. He said there were some ruins he’s inspecting in Milkshake Swamp, which is north of town, and he could use some help from a Trainer.
Man, this is all happening so fast! I told him of course I’d join him, but I really needed to get some rest first! It’s been a crazy first day of being a Trainer, and I’m pooped. I think tomorrow, I’ll get up early and catch some more Pokémon before I escort the good Inventor to these ruins in Milkshake Swamp. Can’t wait!!
