Not really any reason to steal the Pokemon, Elm would probably just give us one. And we can steal one later if he doesn't.

Take to our new life in stride

>>4028819

>>4028814

What >>4028819 said. Let's keep the theft option on the table.

>>4028814
>>Wait until nightfall and break in, there's no way Elm is going to give you a pokemon

>>4028822
Would it? I mean, I doubt Elm noticed us, he'd just assume we arrived a little later then Kris did I'd think.

>>4028826
ah no i meant if we ask for a pokemon he rejects us and then we steal it

>>4028828
Hm, true, though if we're going off the games we'd end up running into Kris and they'd end up getting a description of us anyways. Elm seems a bit too scatterbrained to set up security afterward if he doesn't give us a Pokemon though, unless we leave swearing that we'll have our vengeance or something inane like that.

>>4028819
>>4028823
You wait until Kris leaves, noting down the pokemon that she takes. Totodile. That means taking Chikorita if you want the type advantage. It's been years since you played the game though, so you don't remember all the nuances. The rival is always supposed to take the opposite type but frankly you always liked Cyndaquil the most.

As you enter, one of Elm's assistant stops you at the door.

"I'm sorry but you need to have permission to enter here."

"I just wanted to speak with the Professor."

"The Professor is busy."

You try and manuever past him, but he steps in front of you. "It'll only take a second," you say.

"I'm going to have to ask you to leave." He shoves you back toward the door so hard that you fall flat on your butt. And that makes the alarm bells in your head go off. It's unfortunate your old temper didn't die with your previous self. You almost slug the guy in the face before Elm runs to intervene.

"What's the meaning of this? Who are you?"

Calm. Ocean spray. Floating clouds. Crickets. Well, at least the old tricks still work. "My name is Silver Professor Elm. I am--I want to be--well...the very best, I guess. I want your help and I think I can help you."

"This guy is highly suspicious professor. I saw him spying on us through the window."

"Is that true?"

"I wasn't spying."

"I'm sorry young man, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to--"

"I just want to help. You have an extra pokedex right? You gave one to Kris. Give one to me."

"We don't know you," says the assistant. "Get lost kid or we'll have to call the cops." Elm doesn't say anything, but his silence is tacit approval.

A total failure. Maybe the game won't allow you to get the pokemon any other way? But when you return later that night, you find a guard patrolling the front of the lab. Elm or probably his assistant must have upped the security because of your earlier encounter. What now?

>Try and break in anyway, they won't put a kid in jail right?

Hrm. Well, that's unfortunate. We're not the most charismatic sort, huh? Ah well, it is what it is. Not really inclined to tussle with a security guard, so I guess we're going hiking.

>You'll have to head into the next town to buy some pokeballs. Through the grass.

>>4028839
>Surely Elm's lab is not the only place in this settlement with pokemon. Check out other dwellings, searching for pocket monsters we could liberate.

>>4028845

>>4028881
>>4028888

You decide to head for the next town. You should be able to buy pokeballs there with the wad of cash in your back pocket. It means having to go through the tall grass, but what other choice do you have?

As soon as you exit the town and attempt to enter the grass (which lives up to its name, reaching well past your head) a loud voice tells you stop. Oh right, you forgot about this guy. The dude who teaches you how to catch pokemon.

>Run off before he can catch up to you

You let him come near, expecting him to run you through the little tutorial at the beginning of these games. He's not interested in edifying you though.

"You're not supposed to be out here without a pokemon."

"Sorry. Maybe you can show me how to catch one."

He looks all around him, peeking above the grass. Then he releases a Rattata. Here we go.

"Empty your pockets kid," he hisses.

What. "What?"

"Empty your pockets and nobody gets hurt." The Rattata growls to emphasize the point.

"What is this? Are--are you robbing me?"

"I'm not gonna ask again."

You can't believe what's happening. Since when was this dude a mugger? Well, what do you now?

>Kick the Rattata and then tackle the dude
>Run
>Empty your pockets

>>4028914
>Kick the Rattata and then tackle the dude

Oh naw, we aint getting mugged by some dude with an overgrown purple rodent, we're taking this dude for everything he's got. Except the Rattata, anyways.

>>4028914
>Run
Pretend to empty our pocket bit we throw whatever we first touch at him as a distraction.

>>4028914
>Kick the Rattata and then tackle the dude
Let's show him who's the boss.
Or we end up in a hospital with hot nurses so it's a win either way.

Also, this quest rocks.

>>4028914
>>Kick the Rattata and then tackle the dude

>>4028914
>Kick the Rattata and then tackle the dude
SOMINUS!?

>>4028916
>>4028919
>>4028924
>>4028926

You refuse get pushed around in a second life. You take a running start and kick the Rattata as hard as you can in the head. It's caught completely off-guard and the beautiful bit of chin music sends it sprawling deep into the grass.

"What the--"

Recovering from the kick, you drop into a lineman pose and tackle the dude with everything you have. Silver is a scrawny little guy (which you'll have to do something about at some point) but the momentum and the element of surprise are enough to knock the guy down. After that a quick headbutt knocks him out cold. You suppose your attacks were super-effective.

You rifle through his stuff, taking a potion and a six-pack of pokeballs with one of the balls missing. It's in his hand--it must be the Rattata's ball.

>>4028937
>Leave it, you draw the line at stealing pokemon

Hellll no. Do not need another "Let's pick the weak rat Pokemon and try to make it super strong, wouldn't that be funny?!" scenario. Rattatas are low spec no matter how you look at it. I guess we could abandon it for it's weakness later cruel rival style? But I know there's no way that'd ever happen. Also, this guy could probably try and frame this as us robbing him to the popo if we do take it.

>>4028937
>Take it, it'll be your first pokemon
A suitable starter for a hoodlum like Silver. However, let's make one thing clear: This Rattata is strictly a practice pokemon.

>>4028937
>Leave it, you draw the line at stealing pokemon
Be a good guy until the world makes us bad

>>4028949
If that's your issue then we can just release it and get a free pokeball, which is probably more valuable then the Rattata currently inhabiting it. Besides, we don't even know anything about this guy. He might treat his Pokemon nicely, even if he's a mugger.

>>4028955
If you don't want it then let's just replace it later. Beggars can't be choosers and all that.

That's never gonna happen, let's be honest here. Anons are going to get attached to it like it's a family member after a couple of battles with it, and then they'll act like we're suggesting putting down Old Yeller any time we bring up replacing it with an actually useful Pokemon.

You leave it. Stealing pokemon is where you draw the line. Besides taking it might put the cops hot on your trail and even if you remember nothing else about the game, you do know that Rattata's are straight garbage.

The man groans, coming to, and you make yourself scarce. You're about halfway to Cherrygrove, a soft wind moves through the trees making them whisper. The moon is full out, providing ample light and below it, on the grass, you suddenly encounter a:

>Hoothoot
>Rattata

>>4028976

Since people are too good for the first shitmon we found, let's settle for the second shitmon we get.

>>4028972
>Rattata

We can punt a Rattata, and I can't say I'm particularly interested in catching a Hoothoot, let alone dealing with whatever freaky hypnosis bs they've got going on.

>>4028971
More like I'm sick of picking up the first six somewhat amenable Pokemon we come across in every single Pokemon quest ever, regardless of how good said Pokemon is. I've got Pokemon I like, and would like us to acquire, and Pokemon I wouldn't be interested in acquiring, and Rattata's at the top of that particular list for a variety of reasons.

>>4028977
>>4028979
>>4028986

You encounter a Hoothoot staring down at you from the trees. Since your only pokemon is knocked out that leaves you with only a few choices.

Eh, would rather just pick up some tough Pokemon that'd be willing to put up with some harsh training in exchange for getting swole as hell, personally. Scyther, Rhyhorn, Tyrogue (Always liked Hitmonlee), that red Gyarados (Because fuck yeah, shiny), etc. Fits Silver's look, and his original demeanor.

>>4028998

You throw a pokeball at it. You don't remember Hoothoot being particularly strong but you need some kind of starting pokemon to start catching others.

When you arrive at Cherrygrove the lights on all the houses are off. The market is closed. Only the Pokemon center has glowing windows. The service is 24/7 although this late they seem to only operate with a skeleton crew.

You rest up a bit inside. The nurses give you looks, the "where are your parents" kind of look that concerned adults always have on, but they leave you alone. Once you've caught your breath you begin to strategize on your next move. If memory serves the rival is supposed to battle Kris when she passes through Cherrygrove from Professor Oak. Oak is the one that gives her pokedex.

Not really much in the way of decent Pokemon on the early routes, honestly. May as well grind the Hoothoot up so we can catch something good to replace it later, like a Scyther. Might need to wait until we get to the National Park for that though. Also going to make it easier to roll Kris when she shows up.

>>4029038

You'll head to route 30, hopefully you don't run into Kris before then. Though wasn't Silver the one that challenged Kris? What happens if you just ignore her?

Anyway, you'll need better pokemon than what you have. You don't plan on conquering the league with a Hoothoot. Or even the first gym.

Route 30 is much the same as 29. Trees and tall grass. It's not long before you encounter:

>>4029061
>Spinarak

Instead of grabbing a meh tier water type, grab a bug type for utility and poison affliction to weaken mons in the future. Beyond that, I'm holding for a Magikarp which is pretty readily available if we just swim near a stream or pool of water

>>4029061
This >>4029073 dude have a good point.

Changing my vote >>4029067 to

>>4029073
Prefer Scyther if we're talking Bug types though, and we can get one pretty soon at the National Park. Not to mention we can catch an Ekans soon after.

>>4029073
Yeah, we keep thinking this is like the games when in character this should be a whole new reality. But no Magikarp, I've used Gyarados so much that I'm just sick of it.

>>4029095
One of our six needs to be a fire type, I want us to have a Charmander

>>4029105
Cool, but I'm sick of Charizard too.

>>4029111
I'll compromise with you if we take Dratini as our water type

>>4029105
Could always get a Houndour later. Bet we can find a feral one in Goldenrod or any other big city.

>>4029061
>Poliwag
How is this even a choice, Poliwag is superior

>>4029095
Something to be said for using what works. And Gyarados puts in some work. Long as you keep it the hell away from everything electric.
For fire type, I'm personally thinking Arcanine would be a good choice at this gen. Mostly because it's fiercely loyal, and according to lore it can travel fast enough to get us place to place easily enough.

A Spinarak jumps down from the trees and lands on your neck. You feel a hot burning sensation as its fangs penetrate your neck muscles and inject poison into your veins. The poison shouldn't affect you right? It only affects pokemon. The Spinarak jumps off into the grass and the pain quickly subsides into a dull ache with occasional bolts of burning electricity down your limbs that make you grit your teeth.

You release Hoothoot, but there's no convenient menu with the moves and stats all laid out. You always imagined those menus to be on the pokedex. Well, you'll just have to make do.

Hoothoot can't do squat but swoop down and tackle the Spinarak, but it's enough to get it weak enough to catch. You end up wasting two pokeballs regardless, on account of a few ill-timed spasms but get it on the third. You have just a single pokeball left.

You try and rush back to the Pokemon Center to get yourself checked out but the final spasm hits your body like a bolt of lightning and you white out.

When you come to, you're looking into two concerned droplets of perfect teal. As the face resolves you recognize your supposed rival. "He's waking up!" She says.

You're back in the Pokemon Center. It's morning. During the check-up the nurse explains that you're "Lucky your girlfriend found you in time." Apparently Kris (who clarifies that she is NOT your girlfriend) found you lying in the middle of the road and gave you emergency treatment. You owe your life to her.

She puts a spray bottle in your hand. "Here, you should always carry an antidote with you." You're hesitant to take it but she wraps your fingers around it. On closer inspection, she really is quite cute.

But the game has other plans.

A pair of cops walk into the Pokecenter. They're brandishing a piece of paper, a police sketch, which they're currently showing to the nurse on duty. Now she's looking over at you. Yep, she's pointing you out. Here they come.

How is he going to claim anything? Neither the Hoothoot nor the spinarak should have any ratata wounds on them, will they even believe that a grown man AND a ratata got beat by one kid?

>>4030331
Haha, supporting.

>>4030480
The police are staring at us though, that would be cartoonishly obvious

Also. This reminds me of some weirdass creepy Pasta. Tarnished Gold. Basically playing as Silver but everyone hates you on sight, trainers are disgusted by you without proper reasoning, and everyone's an asshole.
Thinking on it, anyone else find it weird that this random old geezer was ready to rob us? I'm pretty sure the deck is stacked against us, and any defense we do make is going to be ignored.

First off, do you still have your pokemon? A quick check confirms that you do. The nurses must have healed them while you were out. You jump to your feet as the cops thread their way between the tables and chairs.

You grab your windbreaker and make a beeline for the exit, remembering to thank Kris on your way out. The cops are shouting--and they've even got back up outside, but they don't notice you until the cops come out yell at them to give chase. By then you're already halfway up route 30. Silver may have a scarecrow physique but he has a set of lungs on him too. They're losing you.

Then you hear a distinct howl, something like a dog but with a more predatory edge. They've sicced the Growlithes on you.

>Hide in a nearby house

>>4030512
>Keep running, you can lose them in Dark Cave

Most of the actual mons in here are pretty shit, but this clearly isn’t exactly like the games, so maybe something kickass like an Onix or Rhyhorn will show up. If not, we can grind these two weaklings up a bit.

>>4030526

>>4030530
Hey, we gotta get an actually decent mon eventually, and either of those would fit the bill extremely nicely. We can probably manage with two mons to weaken it, anyways, and even if we’ve got a terrible throwing arm you’d have to be blind and deaf to miss either of these big bastards.

>>4030536
Only problem is we don't know if the rules of this world are the same as the Pokémon games. Onix could be extremely weak, or it could be ludicrously strong; it could be easy to catch, or we could need better Pokéballs. And wht happens if our Pokémon fail? We'd have to run through the rest of the cave entirely blind.

Idk man. But we'll see wht happens as it happens.

To be fair, our current set of mons isn't bad oersay. Spinarak has some good utility, and Noctowl is part psychic. Hypnosis and confusion are two moves that we could use to good effect. Sure it'll probably be replaced eventually, but a HootHoot/Noctowl isn't a bad starter.

>>4030546
Noctowl isn't Psychic, you're thinking of Xatu.
They do have a lot of Psychic moves though.

You pick up the pace, rushing past curious but indifferent, trainers on the road. While you do have a sizeable lead the Growlithes are much faster than you are and are rapidly gaining on you. You futilely force down thoughts of sharp teeth sinking into your soft calves and in a bout of panic and desperation run for the mountains--into Dark Cave.

It lives up to its name. Only a few feet in and you're surrounded by a darkness so complete that if you hold your breath you can almost lose sense of your own body. You seem to have lost them--you don't hear anyone outside at any rate--and take the opportunity to catch your breath. Then you hear something, the movement of stones on the ground and a soft shuffling overhead.

Not wanting to deal with wild pokemon while blind, you head back outside. No sign of your pursuers. A road through the trees leads to a distant gatehouse, which leads into Violet City. You can even see the Bellsprout tower from here.

>Head back to Cherrygrove
>Go to Violet City

>>4034763
>>Head back to Cherrygrove

>Camp out near the cave.

It's probably best to stay away from Cherrygrove for now. We can grind a bit here and rest as well. We need to do something about clearing our name though. We CANNOT end up going down the same path as Silver.

Remember, us being bad will only make Kris more Determined to beat us, and that'll make her stronger. Protag powers and all that.

That said, next time we see only one police officer after us, we should stop and try to resolve the situation peacefully. They may only be after us because our "father" just so happens to be Giovanni.

Bruh, that was a duo.
Nitpicking aside we seriously couldn't risk it at that moment in time, we only had a Hoothoot and a Spinarak. Completely untrained so far even.
I think it's about time we bond with them a bit.

>>4034785
They literally had the entire center staked out. No idea what you're talking about. We were right to run - they got reports a guy was assaulted and they sent a damn dozen or so cops after us after the fact; excessive if you ask me. Like I said, the entire point of this seems to be that the world is out to get us.

So any particular reason why OP has decided to make us enemy number one for no real reason and is then giving us no chances to explain ourselves

>>4036038
Haven’t you ever played PMD?

>>4036040
Yeah but there people gave you a small chance and it was the fault of another team. Here it just seems like OP want to make things as difficult as possible for no real reason. Like why would the old man try to fucking mug us, why weren't we given a chance to explain ourselves to the police about the lab and the old man. It seems like everything we do just puts us in the shit

>>4036056
Well when you think about it, this whole scenario is pretty realistic. People like Team Rocket don’t have a monopoly on crime in a more realistic setting, it’s likely that many unorganized individuals use their Pokémon for selfish ends as well. As for the cops, we made a run for it before they even said a word to us. Now we’re resisting arrest which makes us look guilty. This has all been brought about due to realism and cause and effect.

>>4036038
He did gave us option to explain ourselves - we are the ones who voted to run

Well thus far nothing has gone according to the games. Is the world just out to get you? Because you're supposed to be the bad guy? But no, that's not entirely true. At least one person showed you kindness. You pat your left pocket and feel the outline of the antidote bottle. No, the world around you has more or less reacted as you would expect. You were a criminal in the last world, it seems like you're a criminal in this one.

You sit down by the mouth of the cave, hugging your knees. Part of you wants to just lie here and cry--the part which is just an angsty pubescent boy. Maybe this isn't the do-over or heaven that you thought. Maybe this is hell. But even if that's true, you can't give in your old impulses. You have to think. You have to find a way out of this.

You can't go back to the city. Not just yet. You'll camp out by the cave for tonight. You set to work on building a small fire using wood from the surrounding forest. Luckily it hasn't rained in a while and everything is perfectly dry. It's still quite difficult to get the first spark going but once that's done the rest is trivial. One of the few memories of the old world that has proved useful here. The work makes you hungry, but a few hours of foraging in the woods proves there's no edible food in sight (not unless you want to eat your own pokemon--which besides being wrong somehow, doesn't sound appetizing given your choices: an owl and a spider). Moving down the road you spot a small lake and a tree with ripe berries. A fat man is dozing in the shade while the water laps gently behind him.

>>4038010
Well random critters could be rattata and stuff

>>4036679
You approach the lake. Magikarp leap about, splashing water everywhere.

You have an idea. You release Spinarak and command it to throw its string in the water. You don't know how it works, whether it's some magic of the pokeball or some unwritten law of the universe, but the Spinarak that nearly killed you is now as docile as a housecat. It crawls over to the edge of the water, testing it with its limbs, before casting its line far into the depths.

Do Pokemon need to eat in this world? They probably do, so you release Hoothoot as well, to let him go hunting. But he's fast asleep. Nocturnal. You forgot about that, although you don't remember any such effect in the games.

Regardless the Spinarak catches a slew of Magikarp which you bring back to your fire, gut and roast. You feel no qualms about cutting open and eating a Magikarp and the flesh is surprisingly delicious. The smell attracts the guy that was dozing by the tree. His wild hair and beard and rumpled clothes makes him out to be a homeless vagrant, which he quickly confirms. He's not crazy though, and you decide to share the food in exchange for some much needed salt and spices.

"There's something off about you. You're not from around here."

"I'm from Kanto." Silver is from Kanto right? His father's Giovanni and Giovanni's from Kanto.

"No, that's not it. There's something about you. You're not of this world."

You freeze. "W-what are you talking about?"

"Just a feeling. I sense you're in some kind of trouble though, is that right?"

"What are you psychic?" You laugh.

"Yeah." He reaches forward and a piece of fish floats over to his hand, as pale purple energy surrounds it. "So what's the trouble?"

Right. Psychics are a thing in Pokemon. Does that mean you could have psychic powers? How does that work anyway? Are you born with them? Is it like a skill? Like playing the violin? "Cops are after me."

"But you didn't do it?"

"No, I did. But the guy had it coming."

"Mm. What'll you do now?"

"Camp out here for tonight. Once the heat clears I'll head into Violet or maybe back to Cherrygrove."

"And after that?"

"I'm thinking about doing the league."

He looks over at your pokemon. Hoothoot is waking up as the sun sets over the trees. Spinarak is tying up a caterpie he caught in his web.

"They're temporary," you say. "I'm planning on getting better Pokemon."

"If you're doing the league you'll be going all over. Maybe you can help me out."

"Maybe."

"I'm expecting a letter from an associate at Goldenrod. I think it's been held up."

"Sure, I can get you the letter. What's in it for me?"

"Well, I'm not exactly solvent at the moment. But I have information. And a Pokemon you might interested in--I'll trade it for one of yours."

"You'll have to be more specific."

"Well, I know a certain secret about the chief of police. You call him up and he'll get the cops of your back. Or..." He takes out a pokeball from folds of his coat. It's an Abra.

>Pokemon

Abra in lore can actually fight. Just only 4 hours a day. Also, we should have probably kept one of those Magikarp... wait fuck no balls. Dang. You guys okay with keeping Spinarak? Not nocturnal and we can train it to use traps; Ariados is also actually pretty good.

>>4038968
Thanks for the info, I wasn’t aware of that. I still stand by my decision though. We can catch an Abra in various routes and the cops are the most credible and immediate threat to us right now. Getting them off of our back is necessary if we actually want to go down the standard trainer route.

>>4038891

>>4039086

Your memory's still fuzzy on matters of the game, but you do remember being able to catch Abra in the wild. Plus, training him seems like it would be a pain in the ass. Getting the cops off your back is a much more pressing issue.

"Let's hear this secret."

"Mm. On second thought it might be better if I talk to the chief myself. No, don't worry. It'll be all the same in the end. It's just a matter of confidence, compartmentalization."

You suppose you can appreciate that. "I want proof. Something I can see."

"Naturally. Let's go now to the checkpoint. I'll make the call in front of them."

It wouldn't make sense for him to betray you now, though you are still suspicious of it. He still needs you to deliver the letter. You follow him through the gatehouse. The cops are waiting with cuffs and the Growlithes and they're on you in seconds. The guy tells them to wait a minute and for some reason they decide this is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. There's a PC there which lets him make a video call. Half a minute later, you're free to go. The cops even apologize for the trouble.

"So, we have deal then?"

"You'll be hearing from me soon."

As you enter Violet city you feel a skies worth of burden lifted from your shoulders. And then on the road, you spot her. Your savior. She spots you and breaks into a sprint. "Stop right there!"

"Hi Kris, good to see--"

"I can't believe I helped you! You're a criminal. The police told me all about you, what you did to that poor man."

"Wait a second. That's a misunderstanding--"

"No! I won't hear another word." She reaches back for her pokeballs like a gunslinger. The first rival battle. A little displaced perhaps, but perhaps also inevitable. "I choose you, Totodile!"

In the games the rival is supposed to lose all the battles. But you've already gone far off the rails. Let's see just far you can push it.

"Spinarak."

"Totodile, Scratch!" Ah, she's using the pokedex. And it looks like her pokemon is way over-leveled. Spinarak goes down in one hit. Hoothoot in two. Maybe it's something that's set in stone.

"You're coming with me," she says.

"There's been a misunderstanding. I've been cleared of all charges."

"Yeah, right."

"Really. You can ask the cops, they'll say the same thing."

She hesitates. "Wait. How'd you know my name?"

Oh right. "I uh, overheard it. Back in the Pokecenter. My name's Silver."

"Silver. You really didn't mug that guy?"

"He mugged me actually. Or tried to."

"What are you doing here anyway?"

"League challenge. First gym in the circuit."

She's suddenly all smiles. "Me too! I'm trying get Flash from the monks, so I can explore Dark Cave and a get Geodude, but the Bellsprouts are doing a number on my Totodile. Hey, I know! We're technically rivals and we just met and everything but what would you say to being my training partner? Keep in mind I did save your life. Say yes."

If we hang around her long enough, we have a good chance at snagging a legendary somewhere down the line.

>>4039322
>Sure, it'd probably benefit you more than her
She seems to be pretty insistent on it, and we probably need someone making sure we don't fall into trouble again.

This has taken a turn for the bizarre. Not that you're complaining. Any healthy teenage boy would be over the moon to spend face time with such a cute girl. And you're technically a teenage boy, even if you have the mind of a 45 year old. Does that make you a pedophile? It's all very confusing.

"Sure. I think I could benefit from some training."

She punches her palm. "Awesome! Let's heal up your pokemon first."

At the pokecenter you ask her inane questions, like where she's from originally (Ecruteak City), how she knows Prof. Elm (former student) why she needs Flash for the Dark Cave, instead of just buying lantern or something (pokemon in the cave dislike artificial light and something about tradition for people doing the league). She answers everything in an infectiously cheery manner.

Afterwards you head to the Pokemart to buy some more pokeballs (a pack of six takes the rest of your money) and spend the remainder of the day:

>South on Route 32
>East on Route 31
>West on Route 36

>>4040103

Training on the way to goldenrod.

>>4040103
>West on Route 36

>>4040103
>>South on Route 32
We need a few new pokemon first of all. I was thinking we should get the trade Onix on this town to beat the gym and even if it won't obey until we beat Bugsy it can wall Whitney's Miltank. And if the "Trade Pokemon get more XP" rule of the games applies here it will give us an edge against Kris.

>>4040173
>>4040239
>>4040257
>>4040311
>>4040386

You head west on Route 36, toward the National Park. From there you can go down to Goldenrod--that is, if you can get past the Sudowoodo that blocks the trail through the woods. As it turns out Totodile's water gun attack (which she picks up after a bit more training) is able to rouse the stubborn rock pokemon enough to attack--leading to a hard fought team battle in which the Sudowoodo inevitably gets caught.

Ownership becomes a point of contention. It was your pokeball that caught him, but it was Kris's Totodile that did most of the legwork. It's obvious that Kris wants it, but she's too sporting to just take it from you. She suggests flipping a coin for it--which you win--but is visibly upset by the result. Is Sudowoodo even that good? Maybe you should just gift it to her, she did save your life.

>>4040625
>Give Kris the Sudowoodo

The fool. To think we could ever need anything more than our amazing Spinarak.

You have to force Kris to take it. Her pride only relents when you mention your gratitude for saving your life. She lets you close the fingers around the ball, shrinking it to pocket size. Then she gives you a peck on the cheek. Progress.

The tall grass on route 36 also offers an opportunity to train against wild pokemon. Kris tries to get to terms with her new Sudowoodo. As a rock type, it's just what she needs to beat Falkner, but it just won't listen to any of her commands.

Meanwhile you focus on:

Training your current pokemon takes a backseat to catching better ones. With only five pokeballs left (you got lucky with the Sudowoodo and caught him in one shot) you manage to capture:

>Choose at least 1
>Growlithe (-3 Pokeballs)
>Ledyba (-2 Pokeballs)
>Bellsprout (-1 Pokeball)
>Pidgey (-1 Pokeball)

Afterward you decide to head toward Goldenrod to retrieve the fat man's letter. He told you it was probably stuck at the gatehouse at route 35, leading into the National Park.

It's getting dark as you enter into the wooded trails. Kris attempts to persuade you to head back to Violet, to rest, but you're adamant on getting the job done ASAP. Procrastination destroyed your old life, you won't let it ruin this one.

"So why're you doing the league? No offense but you kind of suck at battling." Kris, unable to convince you, has decided to join you.

"No offense, but you kind of suck at socializing."

"No offense, but dyeing your hair is kind of tacky."

"Offense. Plus that's kind of rich coming from you."

She runs her fingers through her pigtails. "Well, I like purple."

"I didn't say I didn't like it." It's hard to tell in the dark but you think she might be blushing a little. Cute. You clear your throat. "Anyway, why am I doing the league? The usual. To be the best, etc. That's what you do in this world right?"

"This world? What does that mean?"

"Never mind."

You walk in silence for a while, then she blurts out: "I hate Red."

"Ouch. This is a natural hair color, you know that right?" At least you think it is. Does Silver dye his hair?

"I'm talking about the former champ. From Pallet town, wears a cap; strong, silent type."

Oh right. That guy is also in this game. The secret final boss. "What, did he break your heart or something?"

But she's suddenly serious. "He's a coward. The strongest trainer in the world--which makes him the most powerful person in the world--and he decides to hide himself away in some mountain."

"As opposed to...?"

But she doesn't say, lost in her own thoughts. You've arrived at the gatehouse, anyway. A long sloping road leads south, where in the distance you can see the glittering skyline of Goldenrod. The gatehouse itself doubles as an elaborate ranger station and museum for the National Park. A brief chat with the checkpoint officer gets you a wounded Spearow holding the Pokemail in question. But he refuses to let the two of you go back out into the night. Kris, doesn't raise a word of complaint, but you could personally use a bit of R&R after being on your feet all day. You decide to take advantage of the station's facilities and retire here for the night. You're given a bunk on the top floor. Kris calls bottom of course.

1/2

"Silver. Silver, are you still awake?"

"I am now."

"Sorry."

"What is it?"

"If you win the league--which you won't, because I will--but if by some miracle you win, what'll you do?"

"Thanks for the vote of confidence. Truly inspiring."

"I'm serious."

"I don't know." You really don't. Things have been happening so fast you haven't had a chance to think about the future. But it's a good question. The game ends after the league--well, there's a post-game in Kanto, but Silver isn't in it. What happens to you after that? "Maybe I'll disappear."

"No."

"No?"

"You can't just disappear. To have all that power and not...use it. Wield it. You could have the whole world..." She sighs. "Never mind. Sorry for waking you."

You want to say something back, but the moment is lost. A few minutes later, you hear soft, regular breathing and your own quickly follows.

How about we are not minmaxers for once? And who knows, maybe we will be able to talk some gullible kid to trade some of their cool pokemon for one of our spares.

>"I didn't say I didn't like it." It's hard to tell in the dark but you think she might be blushing a little. Cute.

No.

>You're given a bunk on the top floor. Kris calls bottom of course.

Oh god no! While I was worrying about the annons, I should’ve been worrying about the QM.

So, what are we doing after this? There is a lot of stuff we could get from Goldenrod before going back, tho they require money. Getting a free bike is probably out of question knowing our track record but besides that there's
>Getting an Abra pretty cheap at the casino (100 coins = $1000)(But we need the coin case)
>Trading an Abra for a Machop
>Buy TM02 ($1000) for early tree mons
>Getting the Mystery Egg before Kris (Might not be possible since people treat us like a thug)
>Getting a haircut?
>Bug-Catching Contest! (Only on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday)

I’d be down for these and I’m on the fence about Silver’s hair at the moment.

In the morning you have a quick continental breakfast at the ranger mess hall. The scrambled eggs with sauted parasect shrooms is especially good. Kris reveals a sweet tooth, piling her plate with snorlax shaped waffles (with sliced strawberries for arms and legs) and nabbing the entire canister of whipped cream for herself.

No mention is made again of last night's strange conversation. Kris is more interested and more excited about the prospect of getting her first badge. "Woody already knows rock throw. It's basically in the bag."

"Maybe I should have kept him."

"No backsies bub. Besides you should be able to beat him with sheer numbers. With the Growlithe that's what, four pokemon now?"

Four untrained pokemon, two of which have a weakness to flying attacks. But she has a point. As you plan your strategy for the upcoming gym battle, a voice on the intercom announces the weekly bug-catching competition later this afternoon. Kris is in no hurry to claim her already "bagged" gym badge and shows interest in participating. She doesn't want to delay you on your errand though.

>Return to Violet City without delay

We don't know how important the message is and angering the physic with dirt on the police chief is a bad idea, also the contest isn't going anywhere

Let's go back to the psychic and talk more. I doubt he'll reveal his connections but we can still use alot of other info.
