Chapter 01: How is Having a Legend a Good Thing?
Oh look, doesn't this seem familiar...
*yawn* I guess I better get this over with. Now let's see...
*thumbs through pamphlet* Yup, I know all of the buttons and controls...
*looks up* Ohh, heyy Professor Oak! How you doing? Nice? Well good for you. You can save the lecture, by the way. I've heard it from five different professors over five times each. Yeah, I'm a girl.
*gasp* What, you guys knew that, right? Ooh, I don't look half-bad, probably 'cause I don't look anything like that in real life. My name, eh? Well it's not Zipo, but I'm totally saying it is. I'm not letting you guys know my real name. Now, I'm going to give my rival the benefit of the doubt and give him a good name: Gary. Why? 'Cause he has an awesome bag. Look at it, it's silver. Why don't I have one of those? I'm stuck with a stinkin' tan bag... Ooh, my own legend? Like all those Greek people? Sweet! I'll be awesome and famous and... awesome! WaitaminuteOak...didn't all those people in the Greek legends die in the end?

Shoot, I've already shrunk. At least shrinking isn't painful, or else a lot less people would play pokemon and Nintendo wouldn't make any money. Well, I guess I better make the most of this. Ooh, an NES? Sweeet. Now, better go get that customary Potion I never get! You have to wonder how it gets there though. Maybe a trainer with a Porygon was sailing through cyberspace and dropped it there... Damnit, now that sounds like fun. Why oh why can't we do that? Gamefreak, make it happen.

Oh look, our mom we look nothing like is downstairs. I mean seriously, the hair is completely different. Well, let's talk to her I suppose. All girls dream of traveling, huh? It said so on TV? Well, I would normally object to you getting childcare tips from television again, but then again it sounds like its gonna get me an adventure, so I suppose its fine by me. Then again, the other option is just staying home and playing my awesome NES... Fine, I
guess I'll keep going with this adventure thing. Doesn't mean I have to like it though.
Well, I suppose I should probably go leave town to start this whole thing off, right? Even though I totally don't want to... Alright, no more negative attitude. Let's just go. The beginning of my adventure and the rest of my life begins...
NOW! *steps forward and gets tackled by Oak* Agh! Hey Oak, a little warning would be nice! Yaddayaddayadda, wild pokemon live in tall grass... Oak, I'm pretty sure I can take a couple of Ratatta and Pidgey.
*glances out and sees the sharpened teeth of some Ratatta and the razor-sharp beak and claws of some Pidgey*... Actually, my own pokemon sounds nice.
Oh, hey Gary. You got dragged here too? You forgot about your grandson's name, and now that you invited him here, eh Oak? Ah, you guys need to get your grandpa some pills for that memory loss. Forget the eyes, memory is totally the first thing to go. Or the last. Hard to tell with Oak. But whatever, he's giving me my pokemon first, that's all that matters. Hmm, this is a tough choice, but I suppose I'll go with Bulbasaur. I pick Squirtle way too much anyways, and Bulbasaur's just too adorable to resist. Nickname? Hell yeah! Uh, I guess I'll go with the obvious choice for a nickname: SCLG001ZIP. It means something, I swear!
Yeahyeah Gary, hurry up. I already know you're picking Charmander. How did I know, you ask? My super-mega-ultra-awesome-epic-of-epicness mind reading powers, duh. Wow Gary, you're kinda slow. Well, I'll just be leaving then. Wait, Gary, you want to battle? Dammit, I shouldn't have given you a good name. What in Arceus's name, of course I've had a battle before, Oak! I know what to do. Arceus, I've been the champion, like 14 times in my past lives. Seriously Gary, you better get on it with that medicine for your grandpa here. Well anyways, let's check out Bulbasaur (not using their nicknames, don't wanna utterly confuse ya'll) here. Mmm, Naive nature. Damn, male. Eh, whatever. Standard moves... Ohkay, let's start! Oh Arceus Gary, how is my Bulbasaur faster than your Charmander? I know its Naive, but still! Yours must really suck or something. I would ask Oak for a refund. He probably won't remember giving the Charmander to you in the first place, anyways.
*Charmander moves first next round* ...Well shoot, we're speed-tied then. Oh well, we could still win this! Lady Luck, Gods of Hax, please shine down upon me!
*gets a crit* Oh yeah, I got this.
*easily finishes him off* What up, Gary? Nice, Bulbasaur leveled up. Now fork over the dough, Gary. ... What 80 poke? Cheapskate. (BTW, in my world: 100 poke equals 1 USD, so since we default have 3000 poke that's about 30 USD we start out with. And Gary just handed me only 80 cents. What a jerk!) Get back here and give me more money, Gary! ...And he's gone.
*sigh* I'll live, I suppose. Now seriously, let's get this adventure started, take two!
Woohoo, I'm on Route 1! Exciting, isn't it. C'mon, let's train to level 8 before we get to Viridian City. Sorry guys, you mind waiting a while (or a skipped line)?
Mmkay, and we're back, right at Viridian City. Let's go heal before we go.
*heals* Alright, let's go now. Wait a minute, why the heck is this guy blocking the road? Get outta the way, old man! What, you're
tired? I don't care, now move! What, you won't move without some coffee? Dammit!
*leaves* Its okay, I had to stop by the Pokemart anyways...
*cut to Pokemart* What do you mean you won't sell me anything! Just because I'm from Pallet Town? What the Arceus? What does that have to do with anything? Oh, you want me to be an errand girl and go deliver something to Oak? Why can't you do it, lazy? Oh, you're scared of the wild pokemon. Geez, if you jump over the ledges your facing a max of 5 patches of grass. Five. Whatever, you're on your own, sucker. I'll be moving on, thank you.
If only that damn old man wasn't blocking the road... Waitaminute, you'll give me coffee to go get that old man out of the way? Fine, I suppose so...
*cuts back to Pallet Town* Geez, I didn't even face any pokemon. La-ame. How weak. Now let's go back to Oak and give this to him. Waitaminute, I see talking. Darn, this might take awhile. Let me just tune out and not pay any attention to what you're saying. Wait, you're giving us the Pokedex? Shiny... Cool, worth it. Just in exchange for us going out on a dangerous adventure that could possibly endanger our lives and safety? Of course! Now c'mon this is the adventure start take three, I want it to work this time. Third times the charm, I hope?
