This will be something along the lines of Bert's Glitchy story. So, enjoy.

-Episode 1: I can't name for shit-

I was ready to start my Pokémon journey. It was my 14th birthday and my mom woke me up at 5 AM. It's fine, though. I wanted her to, as I was very excited for my new journey. So much so that I ran out the door. Once out of the door, I walked 5 squares right and 6 squares up. It's going to be hard to get used to walking on a grid. Once I walked into the grass, Oak proceeded to violate my privacy and personal space by dragging me to the lab. Then he told me to choose a Pokémon. Despite already knowing inevitably that I would pick Bulbasaur, I decided to look at the others. There was Charmander, owned by every kid who pressed left. Then there was Squirtle, which I don't think I've ever picked.

But then, when I opened the Bulbasaur ball, I felt queasy. As it was released, it looked… off. I remember it looking somewhat like this: [img]http://i.imgur.com/tME8DKC.png[/img]. Then Gary came in, as Oak had amnesia. "Eh, what was his name?" "Peepee" I said, channelling my inner 8 year old, and Prof. Oak actually believed it. When Gary saw the strange 'mon, his jaw dropped as he jumped at it, but phased through it. Then, he tried to body slam it. I got tired of these stupid charades and punched him in the face, knocking him out. "I'll take him" I said to Oak, as he just nodded his head, not even caring. Whatever. I was happy I had a Pokémon, although it might have not been exactly how I expected. I also swiped a Pokédex, and a town map.

I decided to check this Pokémon's Pokédex entry. It showed its number, 175. Yep. It's a Pokégod. Its name was "3 " What a mouthful. I was blown away by its stats. At level 5, it had 36 HP, 28 Defense, and 26 Speed, although it also had lackluster 7 Attack and Special. Its types were Ground and Dragon, which was a nice combination, although being weak to Ice (that defense tho). Dragon types tend to be good on offense, balancing its Attack out, and I've never paid attention to Special, so I don't know what it does. I decided to give 3 a name. Hmm… I decided to name it Trizard, seeing as it contained the number 3, and is a Dragon-type. This is where I'll stop, as I'm working on a project at the moment.

I'm diggin' it. I especially like the part where Peepee tries to attack Trizard himself, and the self-awareness of the narrator. Checking out Trizard's stats was also pretty cool.

However… the events seem rushed. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, since the beginning of the game happens pretty much in the same amount of time as your narrative, but it all seems like a blur.

Other than that, I'm really looking forward to see where this goes!

~CHAPTER TWO - [font=comic sans ms]uh~[size=4pt]i like how we have comic sans on here. 10/10 would bang[/size][/font]

I'm actually very concerned about formatting. It's really bothering me. Also, links are easter eggs that sort of relate to the story, you should click them. I mean, you don't have to, but it's nice. Also, it's 2 AM here.



So I went to the shop. Everything looked weird. There were stranged items. I saw such great items like "a||POKEMON||ITEM||DANIEL||SAVE||OPTIONS||EXIT" and "8(japanese symbol)" I disregarded those and bought a couple of potions and had this uncomfortable exchange:

"Hey, I'd like that Elixir!" I said, cheerfully.
"You mean Elixer?" the clerk said.
"Uhh, that's no-"
"DANIEL! YOU ARE GOING TO BUY THIS ELIXER, AND YOU ARE GOING TO LIKE IT! That'll be $3999.99" followed by a cash-register noise.

It cost me $4000, but it was worth it. I mean, he had a gun to my head. Once I went out, I fastwalked like an idiot up to the Viridian Forest entrance, but I went through. "What was that?" I whispered to myself, as I saw the exit through a couple of trees. "For some reason I expected there to be more, but whatever. That part of the game was tedious anyway."

"Daniel! Wait up!" Gary came out of the exit. "Let's try our new Pokémon". I tried telling him I didn't have any new Pokémon, but he strolled up to me and battled. My tank of a Pokémon ripped through his Charmander. Although he asked to come with me. I guess I could use a partner, as long as he didn't try that shit like back at the lab. Up at Pewter, I ran into a sign, and continued walking. Although I swear Peepee wrote "Daniel is a poopy faic xD" on the sign.

After I made it to Pewter, I went into the store and somebody came up to me. "Hey, you want a Magikarp? Only $499.99!" Why these people kept giving me pennies, I don't know. I paid cold hard cash for it and recieved a Magikarp, which I named Undyne *doo doo doo intensifies*

When I went outside, I saw some people battling, standard stuff. Level 100 Nidokings as far as the eye can see. Some kid came up with a group of friends and said "WOAH, IT'S A MISSINGNO.!", and his sister escorted them out. We locked eyes, and she whispered "Hi, I'm Misty."

"Uh– h…hi! Bye" I'm a real charming guy, let me tell you. I'm antisocial enough. Having a girl actually say hi to me, was an experience. She left before looking back at me. Peepee witnessed the whole thing and said "What a stinker. Here, let me show you"

"ayy gurl wassup, you wanna fuck?" I cringed so much, until I heard a punching noise and Peepee fell. Misty decided to join in too. I felt happy having a group of sort-of friends with me. It felt nice. I got déja vu` for some reason, and we continued walking. Once we were about to move on from Pewter, some kid stopped us. He tried to be an Oak, but Trizard used a strange move. According to the Pokédex, it was named "TM36". No type, 35 PP. Its other attacks Wrao, Razor Wind, Poison Sting. Intersting set of moves. TM36's description was "P 98 2B Continued4 q3 error."

I guess this is meant to be part-Stadium then, which *does* have move descriptions? (and I had to look that up, because I never actually played it, aside from reversing it a little bit, then cursing as I remembered how much I hate MIPS)

I'm sort of mixing gens.
