Disclaimer: some aspects of this playthrough have been streamlined[footnote]The package subplot. Also grinding.[/footnote], altered[footnote]Instead of running away from that pidgey, I killed it.[/footnote], and outright fabricated[footnote]50% of the conversations, for example.[/footnote] for your viewing pleasure.

AAH! GET AWAY!
I know.... For some reason there's some formating issues.It's all correct, the post just isn't working properly. I had to work for a couple hours to make it work, and even then I had to split up the post.
Well some of the issues were resolved by fixing a certain lack of a closed parenthesis, but I must still be missing something because I still can't put the spoilers together. C'est la vie.
To everyone else: I have some ideas for the names of the pokemon that will be caught soon, but I wanted to get your input. Any ideas for nicknames?
This is a very different type of playthrough, I like it! Adding character depth and a unique perspective.
Yggdrasil wouldn't last 5 seconds, Grass starters were always hard short term, except in Shappire where Treecko was THE LORD GOD OF DEATH AND SADNESS FOR TEAM AQUA!Zen Toombs said:
- Will you be my friend?

- AAH!
- ...I can help.

- *sigh*
as for nicknames, I demand that one pokemon be named "Oh Shit It" then there shall be Lolz.
That's the idea. :3FilipJPhry said:
Would you like to be added to the update list?
If you wanted to see that, check out Chapter 0: The Dream Begins.Limecake said:
Also, as funny as it would have been, I did snag that potion from the computer off panel. That and getting the Town Map are both boring stuff, so I didn't mention it.
In Red/Blue/Yellow/Firered/Leafgreen, the grass starter is actually a good way to begin. You have a type advantage over the first two gyms (ground/rock and water), so you don't have to worry about grinding as much as you would with Squirtle or (oh lordy) Charmander.Diablo1099 said:
Mind you, in all my playthroughs I've never chosen Bulbasaur, so this should be interesting.
Thanks for the reminder, Toombs, could you put me on the official updater list I'd love to keep reading.
My house has been invaded by cockroaches. I'm currently elsewhere, and internet service has been spotty. I'll get it up as soon as possible. I can message you when it's ready if you'd like.FilipJPhry said:

A quick note - Lauren refers to Professor Oak as 'Papa' and he is her [footnote]as you find out in this episode, adopted[/footnote]grandfather. As I used to call my grandpa 'Papa' and Oak is a bajillion years old, I thought it would be obvious. I now realize that's a bit silly, so I'm sorry for the confusion. Anyways, here comes the next episode!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Hey kids, I'm old! ALSO a mad SCIENTIST who pays no regard to the ethics of SENDING twelve year olds to cockfight with fire-breathing MONSTERS or to the LAWS of capitalization!
You! Granddaughter I mistake for a BOY!
Choose! YOUR! Cockfighter!
- Bulbasaur, I choose you!
- Yggdrasil!
- By the laws of the English dub of Pokemon, I shall name you Yggdrasil!
- That's a dumb name!
- Wanna fight about it?
- Yes!
- Too bad, cuz I already BEAT YOUR FACE!
- Oh [HEADING=3]NOOOOOOO![/HEADING] Not AGAIN!
- Good job daughter person! Now go off, and have adventures!
- But mom, I wanna stay here with you.
- Good job daughter person! Now go off, and have adventures!
- But... yes mom.
- SINCE you're leaving, DELIVER this MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE for me!
- Fine, Papa.
- Are we there yet?
- Yes.
- Oh.
- That felt like forever. A couple of weeks, at least.
- *nod* Far longer than expected.
- Huh. This place is smaller than I expected.
- How is this even a city? The only difference between this place and Pallet Town is they have a pokemon center instead of Papa's... mad science-y thing.
- *shrug*
- I think this is where I'm supposed to go to drop off Papa's package.
- ..elp... Hey, I think I recognize you. You're the kid Craig and Molly took care of, aren't you? You've grown quite a bit.
- I appreciate it. Before you go, just wanted to tell ya I'm sorry about what happened about your pops. He.. if you're needin' anything, anything at all, let me know.
- *sob*
- Problem?
- Nothing, it's nothing. I'm fine.
- Lauren. Tell.
- I... It's just... I dunno... I.. *sob*
- [color= FF9900] Hush, hush baby. Tell me sweetpea, what's wrong?[/color]
- [color= FF9900]Oh dearie me, where are my manners? We haven't even been introduced! My name is Crystalis, but you can call me Crystie. And what would your names be?[/color]
- Yggdrasil.
- [color= FF9900]A pleasure to meet you, Yggdrasil. And your name?[/color]
- ..... La..Lauren.
- [color= FF9900]Well that's a pretty name, now isn't it? Now could you tell me what's bothering you?[/color]
- My... my mum kicked me out of the house.
- [color= FF9900]That's terrible! Why on earth would she do a thing like that?[/color]
- Ever since dad... Since he dis....disappeared, she's been, I dunno. Broken. B..before, she wanted me to be a trainer, so I guess...
- [color= FF9900]I'm sorry darling. Is there anything I can do?[/color]
- Girls?
- N... no. Just listening to me was enough. Thank you.
- Girls?
- [color= FF9900]Oh, it's just fine sweetie. It's the least I could do.[/color]
- Girls??
- [color=CC9900]Chirp?[/color]
- Girls!
- [color= FF9900]Wh[/color]at? -
- [color=CC9900]Chirp?[/color]

- [color=CC9900]Chirp?[/color]
- [color= FF9900][small]uh oh.[/small][/color]
- Yes.
- [color= FF9900] They're swarming! Sweetpea, don't worry, we'll protect you![/color]
- Lauren, down!
- Crystie! No! You're hurt!
- [color= FF9900][small]*wimper*[/small] I'll be fine sweetie.[/color]
- But you're... oozing! I've..I've got to get you to a pokemon center!
- [color= FF9900]Sweetpie *cough* I said I'll be fine.[/color]
- But-
- [color= FF9900]I said I'll be fine. Just give me a moment dear-[/color]
- Crystie, what's happening to you? Are you alright?
- Normal lifecycle, it seems.
- [color= FF9900]*nod* It happened a bit faster than normal, but this is normal.[/color]
- Um... alright then. Thank you for helping me, both of you.
- So, what do we do now?
- [color= FF9900]Well it seems that I'm not exactly hungry anymore, but you two look absolutely famished! There's a lake with some good food, water and sun over in the southwest. Just west of that town down there.[/color]
- That's what I was saying earlier! It's too sma-
- *Growling stomach sound*
- Good plan, I like that plan. That way it is!
- [color= FF9900]We're almost there. The lake's just around the bend.[/color]
- Stop.
- What is it, Yggdrasil
- Something is coming.
- [color=8B4513]I bid thee good day, travelers. I was in the midst of a lovely mid-day stroll - wouldst thou care to join me?
I understand there to be ruffians about. [/color]
- And you are?
- [color=8B4513] I come to thee, hat in hand, humbly begging for thine forgiveness! T'would seem that I have forgotten my manners. I am known as Sir, and tis a pleasure to meet all of ye. May I ask upon the identities of thee and thine companions?[/color]
- *giggles* You're silly. Um, my name is Lauren, and this is Cryst-
- [color= FF9900] Nice to meet you, Sir, I'm Crystie. I'm sorry, not quite looking my best - I've been going through *ahem* a few changes as of late. And your hat looks fantastic.[/color]
- [color=8B4513]*bows* Well thankye kindly m'lady. If I may say, thou art quite a beauty thyself, 'changes' or no.[/color]
- And he's Yggdrasil. So you said you were going somewhere?
- [color=8B4513]Yes, ma'am. I was in the midst of approaching the nearby lake.[/color]
- Really? That's where we were going! How about we go together?
- [color=8B4513]Should Crystie and Yggdrasil agree, t'would be my pleasure to provide ye with an escort.[/color]
- ....Acceptable.
- [color= FF9900]O'course we'd love you to join us![/color]
- [color=8B4513]Well thank ye, I am honoured by thine acceptance. Now, shall we return to our lakeward journey?[/color]
- [color= FF9900]*laughs* Sounds good to me.[/color]
- I'll race you guys there!
- [small]oh no, not now[/small] H..hey Steve.[color]
- [color=8B4513]Is this ruffian presenting a problem, madam?
- Ooh, the talking monkey thinks he's all proper. *laughs* Bloody idiot.
- [color=8B4513]Thou hast besmirched mine honour![/color]
- Sir, wait. Just, just calm down.
- Um, wh-what're you doing here Steve?
- Oh, ya know, little 'a this, little 'a that. Heard the Pokemon League was crawling with tough trainers. Tried to get past the guards, but the jerks wouldn?t let me through without any Gym Badges. I think I'll grab the Pewter City one first. Should be a cinch with the new guys I caught.
Wanna see 'em?
- S-steve, w-what are you doing?
- Oh, just having a bit of fun. 'Bout bleeding time, if you ask me. Gramps was always treating you special, always giving you first dibs. And you're not even real family!
- Look, we.. we don't have to do this. We..I don't want to fight.
- Ah. But you see 'cousin' -
- I do.
[/color][/color][color=8B4513] - No! Crystie![/color]
]
- Steve. I will hurt you for this. Someday you will think you're safe, that you're happy. When your joy turns to ashes, you will know that our debt has been paid. But for now, this will have to be enough.
Yggdrasil. DESTROY them.

Proper stories start at the beginning. Ain't so simple with this one.
Now here's an idiot who tried to start this tale without a narrator. His way a telling weren't a gift from the gods, but it'll have to do. Let's get you caught up. [/HEADING]

Girl gets real quiet, all stiff and small. She hands the old man's mysterious package to the shopkeep and turns to leave.[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]
Chick looks back for a moment. Then she turns and leaves, wandering around town aimlessly.[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]
Kid looks at the approaching bug, confused. Her crying starts to subside.[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]
The battle was great and terrible. Dozens of Pidgeys mobbed our little guys. But after a time the bug and the green guy managed to drive the horde away. Start to feel the bruises though.[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]
Bug sprays some white junk on her wounds, and puts the rest on herself.
It was pretty gross. [/HEADING]

Kid starts tossing a Pokeball in his left hand. Looks like he's gearing up for a spot of violence.[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]
Chick starts lookin' mighty scared. She takes a step back.[/HEADING]
[HEADING=3]
The kid gets this grin, all maniacal.[/HEADING]
Yggdrasil. DESTROY them.
I enjoyed reading it but you left in a [/color] at the start of one of the second one of the Mankey's lines. It was worth the wait.
