Okay I'm an idiot, I've been in a daze this last month really and been being forgetful, I never mentioned my rules.
I can only catch the first wild Pokemon in an area
No buying Pokeballs
No healing items
Release any Pokemon that faint
Gift Pokemon do not count against the total for an area
No using legends
Must nickname Pokemon
All right, I'm splitting the first badge into two sections or it'll get seriously to the tl;dr point, so here's the first part, the second will come tonight.
A noise waking me up in the middle of sleeping in? Always the same thing... It wasn't hard to tell that my friend Barry wanted me along, as he tended to make a lot of noise wherever he went. It even got me so far as to roll my eyes when my mom told me exactly what I expected out of this. Even hearing that it was an emergency didn't worry me in the slightest.
My mom always wondered why I came home with all these cuts and bruises. You'd think she'd understand after fifteen long years that I just got run into a lot... It only happened a few times that day. Apparently, the big emergency was just going to see if a strange Pokemon was at the lake because someone saw a Red Gyarados in Johto once. It was a bit annoying to be going that far for nothing, but it was easier than telling him no.
Apparently we weren't the only ones checking out the lake, as an older man and what seemed to be an assistant were just leaving. Of course, my friend's curiosity got the best of us, as he decided to go check out the bag the boy from earlier had left behind. Going into the tall grass was a big mistake, however, as we got rushed by two quite angry Starly.
Getting pecked all over, we both ended up rummaging through the bag to find three Pokeballs. We each took one at random, and like usual, Barry kicked into action before I could even think about doing so, sending out the little blue penguin out to fight. I hoped I could get one as interesting as that, so I tossed the Pokeball, and in a flash of light, I saw a little orange monkey, Chimchar, pop out.
Sure, Barry's choice may have been cuter, but mine was done with its job much quicker, as I just told it to keep using Scratch. Too bad I'd only get to use it once... Soon after the battle was over, the boy from earlier came back and seemed to panic at the sight of us each having a Pokemon nearby, staring at him. Oddly enough, he ran off with the bag, but didn't bring the Pokemon along.
We decided, with me leading because Barry wanted to spend a little more time with Piplup, to head back and figure out what to do next for tomorrow. That plan got disrupted quite quickly when the older man was there, looked at us, but then walked off like nothing was wrong. He was quite intimidating, however, and once I got home I had to admit I was glad to be there. The Chimchar just seemed to be relaxing there as well as I explained to my mom what exactly had happened. She suggested I go to Sandgem Town where the lab was and explain what happened.
So that's what I did the next day. Oddly, no wild Pokemon attacked me, even as my Chimchar just skipped along. The beachfront town was just a short distance away, and right when I got there... CRASH. I got run into yet again. Apparently, Barry had somewhere to go, as he headed back toward home, but he seemed in not so bad of a mood. I even got invited inside by Lucas, who apparently worked for this man.
Inside, it seemed totally different than before. He didn't seem mean at all when he introduced himself as Professor Rowan. When he saw the Chimchar he even decided to let me keep it, and it was at that point when I gave it a name: Sam. It was the next gift that really caught me off guard, however, as I found myself soon holding a new Pokedex. Apparently I had an adventure to go on, and I had one last trip home to make before then...
At this point I only had:
Chimchar (Sam) Lv. 5 (M)
Bold
Likes to run
Likes sour food
-Scratch
-Leer
I have more now but I'll update that later when I'm allowed on again.
Edit: Thinking about it, I'll have dialogue in the next one too.
