Smash!
My door blasted open and Barry ran into my room.
"Did you see that? Did you see that!" he said.
"What is it, Barry?" I replied.
"Rowan on TV. He's got loads of Pokemon. We should steal- I mean ask him for some."
"Wow. That's the first decent idea I've heard from you in the last two years."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
I got ready, and just before I left Mum reminded me,
"Don't go into the tall grass, Someone, there are dangerous things like level two Bidoof!"
Barry and I went to Route 201 in hopes of getting to Rowan's lab in Sandgem Town when we saw tall grass. I thought about what Mum said and was about to try to get over that impassable one metre ledge when Barry said,
"Let's go through the grass so quickly that Pokemon can't come out!"
I responded,
"But that's how the appea—"
Barry was already running, until,
"STOP!"
An old man yelled at Barry, causing him to trip and fall on his face, with a Starly landing on him.
"You can't go into the tall grass without a Pokemon, there are dangerous things like that!"
"Wait a moment," I said. "Are you Professor Rowan?"
"Indeed I am," he said. "I know, I'll give you a Pokemon."
"Really?" Barry said.
"Yes," said Rowan.
"Cool!" he said. "Someone, you choose first, I want the one with a type advantage."
"Ok," I said. "I'll choose the Turtwig!"
"Then I'll take the Piplup." Barry said. "Wait no! I'll get the Chimchar!"
We had a short battle while Rowan left with his assistant. I easily won while the Chimchar was busy leering. I named the Turtwig Massive. It seemed fitting.
Massive
Ability: Overgrow
Nature: Docile
Characteristic: Sturdy body
"Teach me, master" said Massive.
"Ok, Massive, you can adventure with me and learn."
We went home to show him to Mum, who gave me the Running Shoes while breaking the fourth wall (what B button). Barry came to my house again.
"We should thank Rowan by getting him the lake guardian," he said.
"But we have no—"
"I don't care!" he screamed.
He dragged me to the lake, where a strange man was standing. He said a load of rubbish and left. We heard something soon after.
"Was that Mesprit 's cry?" asked Barry. "Let's catch it!"
Barry realised that he had no balls.
"We've no Poké Balls! You know, P-O-K-accent-E Balls!"
:evan:
He ran away, leaving me to go to Sandgem Town.
Rowan took me inside his lab. He officially gave me Massive and a TM for Return. I went home to tell Mum and get some new shoes.
"Press the B button to run" said Mum.
Fourth wall breaking skill level: OVER 9000!
I went back and Dawn taught me how to catch Pokemon. I caught Slave the Bidoof and Powerhouse the Starly.
"Hey" said Starly.
"Derp" said Bidoof.
" Can you only speak Derp, Slave?"
"No. Actually, we Bidoof are the second-most intelligent species, after Bibarel, we just hide it."
"Oh. Okay then. Powerhouse, give those potions back."
"Hehehe" said Powerhouse, dropping the potions.
Slave
Ability: Unaware
Nature: Hasty
Characteristic: Very finicky
Powerhouse
Ability: Keen Eye
Nature: Naughty
Characteristic: Likes to fight
We went to Jubilife City and got a Pokétch.
"Hey, gimme that!" yelled Barry.
He took the parcel and ran off, dropping a Town map onto the ground. I picked it up and continued on to Route 203 and the first major battle.
Pokemon- LVP-MVP
It's a bit difficult now because there haven't been any major battles yet but:
LVP- Powerhouse Lv. 10
-Tackle
-Growl (useless)
-Quick Attack
-Wing Attack
This may sound odd, but this little bird made me switch in and out to grind it to level 10, making it even worse than Slave.
2nd MVP- Slave Lv. 7
-Tackle
-Growl
It didn't actually do anything, useful or not.
MVP- Massive Lv. 9
-Tackle
-Withdraw (useless)
-Absorb
Massive actually helped by not needing to grind it.
