23:16 *** Shoey joined #HoennPetalburgCity
23:18 DaiRef It was a typical day for Aidan, and nothing special was happening in the city of Petalburg. The sun was shining and it was a whole new day for him to experience. A couple of swallow flew past his house, chirping in the wind. There was a *THUD* noise that could be heard from the front door of your house...
23:20 DaiRef Show YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUvOUV03NAk)
23:20 Shoey Aidan came out of his daydream. He had been sitting in silence for the past half hour or so since there was nothing to do. "I wonder what that is?" He asked himself. He slowly got up from his position on the couch, the TV playing a live Pokemon Battle.
23:23 Shoey (Forgot to save the changes to my CS but I just now did)
23:23 DaiRef After opening the door you noticed a small bird pokemon had it's back to the door slowly backing up. "Aha! You have nowhere to run now!!" A slender looking man said, his skin nearly showing every bit of bone in his skinny body. He was dressed in a rogue-looking outfit, a poke ball was in his hand.
23:24 DaiRef
23:25 Shoey Aidan's eyes opened in surprise not expecting this at all. He looked at the man in front of him and was a bit suspicious because of the way he was dressed, but he had always been taught to not judge a book by it's cover. Still though, it was better to be safe than sorry. "Excuse me. Is this your Pokemon?" Aidan asked. He was a little annoyed if this man was -
23:25 Shoey trying to capture a wild Pokemon in /his/ house.
23:27 DaiRef "No, you idiot! What do I look like a nanny? This is Birch's pokemon, a rare specimen indeed! It'll be of great use to me!" He stated with a smirk on his sinister face. "Now can you help me out here and hand it over to me, I've gotten in a fuss running around all this city to snatch it." The small bird-like pokemon backed up and ran behind Aiden's leg.
23:27 DaiRef ( Pokemon Team Grunts are idiots tbh )
23:30 Shoey Aidan noticed how the small Pokemon seemed genuinely frightened, which he knew wasn't normal when a friendly trainer was trying to catch it. He became even more suspicious. "Who is this Birch person you talked about?" He said this mostly to stall time and to protect the Pokemon a bit more, but also to see if this man was legitimate. Aidan was going to say -
23:30 Shoey something about the man calling him an idiot, but decided against it because the man was bigger and stronger than he was.
23:31 Shoey (^^)
23:32 DaiRef "Hah! You don't know Birch!?" He pointed out, almost ready to bust into a laughing fit. "Well, if you didn't know he's a famous professor here in Hoenn... even idiots know that!" He stated placing his hands on his hips. "Anywho, I've had it with you.... hand over the pokemon or else I'll have to knock you out..." He stated with a glare.
23:34 Shoey Aidan knew that this man was a fake. /He/ didn't work for Birch! He had personally met Birch a few times, as his dad was a scientist...not that they were great friends or anything, but he knew he was nice enough and wouldn't employ this guy. He was fed up with being called stupid and said,"This is /my/ house, and I'm going to ask you to leave."
23:35 Shoey (Maybe I wasn't clear but he asked who Birch was previously just to see if the guy was legitimate. He already knew who he was)
23:40 DaiRef ( yeah this guy is dumb, hold up for a second ~ )

20:11 DaiRef "Heh, and what are you going to do about it?" He asked, holding a pokeball loud and proud in front of him. He waved it in the air and smirked at the boy in his house. "You gonna battle me or somethin'?" He taunted out loud.
20:13 Shoey Aiden felt fear grip his heart, he didn't have a Pokemon of his own yet! Aiden had always wanted to go on a Pokemon adventure like his friends, but his mom said he was too young and irresponsible to go on an adventure, much less have his own Pokemon. Aiden then had a sudden idea. He looked behind him at the tiny Pokemon hiding behind his legs and smiled -
20:15 Shoey reassuringly at it. He then turned back to the man and said, "Ya I'll battle you." Aiden was a bit worried that the Pokemon wouldn't listen to him, but then he thought, "Why would it hide behind me if it didn't trust me?" He turned to the Pokemon and asked, "You wanna battle with me?"
20:15 DaiRef The small bird-like pokemon chirped and understood that Aiden needed his help. It quickly got in front of Aiden in a defensive stance.
20:17 DaiRef "HEH! That's cute and all, but it PISSES me off!" He stated throwing down the poke ball in front of him.
20:17 DaiRef *BOF*
20:17 DaiRef
20:17 DaiRef Torchic: 20/20 HP { VS } Poocheyana: 20/20 HP
20:19 Shoey Aiden was relieved when he saw the small Pokemon jump in front of him, but was immediately worried when he saw his opponent's Pokemon. Aiden had never battle with a Pokemon before and as a result knew nothing about it. He knew lots of Pokemon facts from his dad, but that wouldn't suit him here. His palms were sweaty as he waited for the battle to start.
20:20 DaiRef "Heh... you're pretty quiet for being all rough and tough earlier, huh? I guess I'll have to start the match off myself...fine by me then!! AHAHAHAH!" He laughed in an intimidating manner, hoping to freeze Aiden in place.
20:21 DaiRef "TACKLE!"
20:21 DaiRef It rushes...
20:21 DaiRef *BAM*
20:21 DaiRef Torchic: 15/20 HP { VS } Poocheyana: 20/20 HP
20:23 Shoey Aiden was frozen in place and had no time to react before his Pokemon got hit. "No!" he said. Aiden felt terrible about his mistake, and vowed to never let it happen again. Aiden knew he needed to attack back, but didn't know what this Pokemon's moves were. "Attack!", he said as it was all he could think of.
20:23 DaiRef It rushes...
20:23 DaiRef "Dodge it Pooch!"
20:23 DaiRef It...
20:23 DaiRef slipped out of the Torchic's path!
20:23 DaiRef Torchic: 15/20 HP { VS } Poocheyana: 20/20 HP
20:24 DaiRef "Heh....." The man smirked at Aiden, looking in his eyes. "Pathetic... you knew this was a big mistake, eh? I can tell you have little to no battle experience..." He stated with a smirk.
20:26 Shoey "This guy's too good", Aiden thought, already worrying about the idea of losing the fight. "I don't know anything about Pokemon battles." The man speaking brought him out of his thoughts. "I know plenty!" he lied.
20:27 DaiRef "Heh...we'll we will see about that...!!" He stated pointing at the boy. The small dog-like pokemon's fangs grew on site and it flashed them at the boy. "It looks like I'll have to finish you right here-"
20:28 DaiRef "Rob! What do you think you're doing?" A female stated at the doorway. "You didn't go chasing pokemon again did you?" She was in a similar uniform as the man, blue and white striped shirt, bandana, and ragged pants. "Er-uh..." The man looked at her with a sigh.
20:30 Shoey Aiden felt relief flood through him at the entrance of this person. It seemed that she was here to straighten the man up. But when Aiden looked more closely, he noticed she wore the same clothes, and again fear crept back in. "Is she here to help him?", he wondered.
20:31 DaiRef "Ugh....you're so annoying... come on..." He looked at her and sighed, "Whatever...." The small pokemon before him snarled and walked away with the two mysterious figures. The house became silent... the small bird-like pokemon remained quiet and looked up at Aiden with a smirk on it's face.
20:34 Shoey Aiden watched as the two figures walked away. Finally, only when they turned out of sight did he look at the Pokemon before him. He smiled..."We did it!" he said. Then Aiden knelt down and reached out his hand to the Pokemon, feeling a bit awkward. He had no clue how to greet a Pokemon, but this felt the most natural to him. "What's your name?" he asked, -
20:35 Shoey Immediately after asking it, he felt foolish, remembering that Pokemon couldn't speak.
20:36 DaiRef The small pokemon looked at him with a titled head, but it quickly turned it's head towards the door. It felt something familiar it seemed. "Torchic... where on earth were you?" A large looking man asked looking down on the two individuals. "Oh, you met a friend it seems..."
20:36 DaiRef
20:39 Shoey Aiden looked up at the man, who seemed familiar to him. Aiden notice, relieved, that this man looked friendly. "Hello sir, is this your Pokem-" And then Aiden remembered who this man was. He had seen him a few times before when he was with his dad at work. "You're Professor Birch, right?!", he asked.
20:41 DaiRef "Yup, and you're Aiden... I believe..." He looked at the small torchic and chuckled. "Good work finding this place little fella'..." The professor turned to Aiden and smirked. "So...your old man finally told me to hand you a starter pokemon to let you begin your journey... I've been trying to convince him ever since you were a little one...but your parents
20:42 DaiRef found you too young...which is strange..." He stated scratching his head before opening a briefcase with three pokeballs. One was empty, while the other two had two remaining pokemon in them. "As you can see, this here is torchic, one of my classic starter pokemon... the other two are mudkip and treeko." He explained. "Are you willing to start your journey?"
20:44 Shoey Aiden's eyes opened wide with surprise. "My dad's finally letting me go?" he asked almost jumping for joy. "Yes I'm definitely ready to start my journey!"
20:47 Shoey Aiden could not believe what he was hearing. His parent's finally letting him go on a Pokemon journey! He was starting to think that they'd never allow him to go, and now the big day had finally come.
20:49 DaiRef "Well...the first step for you is to choose your pokemon..." He stated, releasing the other two pokemon. There before him were released the grass starter Treeko, and the water pokemon mudkip. "Take your time..." Birch stated before waiting upon Aiden's decision.
20:49 DaiRef
20:49 DaiRef
20:49 DaiRef ( ok I'm sorry but mudkip is too cute )
20:50 Shoey (I agree )
20:51 Shoey Aiden immediately knew his answer. He looked down at the small bird "I choose Torchic." he stated. "Me and him have already been in a battle together, so I feel like not choosing him just wouldn't be right.
20:51 Shoey (woops disregard that
20:51 Shoey )
20:53 Shoey Aiden immediately knew his answer. He looked down at the small bird Pokemon, which he learned was called Torchic. "I choose you, Torchic." he stated. "Me and him have already been in a battle together, so I feel like not choosing him just wouldn't be right." he told the Professor.
20:54 Shoey (almost accidentally chose Mudkip xD)
20:55 DaiRef Professor Birch looked at him and chuckled, "A battle huh...interesting...." He recalled the other two pokemon back into their pokeballs and chuckled. "Well alright...last but not least I will give you these..." He handed Aiden a pokedex as well as a few pokeballs ( The ones in your items already ). "This device is called a poked and it collects pokemon data.
20:56 DaiRef And these... are pokeballs...these are used to capture pokemon. There are many different brands of pokeballs out there, so feel free to use the ones you will find the most useful." He stated with a chuckle. "And that's it! You're finally ready Aiden... any dreams you have for being an official trainer?"
20:58 Shoey Aiden took the items from Professor Birch saying, "Thank you," many times over and over. Aiden looked at the Pokeballs and then set them on the ground, not having anywhere else to put them. Then he looked at the Pokedex and thought it was cool how it could tell him information on any Pokemon. "Well, I guess I haven't really thought about it..." Aiden said.
20:59 Shoey "All I've wanted to do is adventure. But I guess I want to meet all kinds of new Pokemon and..." Aiden turned red in the face and was a little embarrassed by this next part but mumbled, "become a champion of the Hoenn Pokemon League."
21:00 DaiRef "Well...a good place to start is collecting badges.... the gym leader here might be a little out of your league...but there is a gym just north of here in a city called Rustboro..." The man collected his briefcase and bag and made his way to the exit of the house. "Well...on that note...good luck Aiden."
21:01 Shoey Aiden then remembered something he had forgotten to mention in all the excitment. "Wait Professor!
21:01 Shoey (dangit)
21:03 Shoey About that battle earlier...It was a man in a blue and white striped uniform. He was wearing a bandanna and ragged pants. It seemed that he was chasing this Torchic. Do you know what that could have been about?"
21:05 DaiRef "Hmmm... I have no clue... maybe he thought Torchic was a wild pokemon... it's quite...a feisty pokemon I will say..." He stated before continuing his way out of the house. "Sorry, but I have no clue. See ya around..."
21:09 Shoey For the second time that day, Aiden watched as someone walked away from his house, leaving him alone with this Pokemon. "What does he mean by 'feisty Pokemon'?" Aiden wondered. "Crap," Aiden said to himself, "I forgot to ask him about Pokemon battles." " I guess well learn by ourselves," he said to Torchic. Aiden picked up the Torchic and brought him inside.
21:09 Shoey He had to get packed up before leaving, and he certainly couldn't leave before his parents got home. He also decided that he could use the time to read about Torchic on the Pokedex.
21:11 DaiRef Pokedex: Scanning...
21:11 DaiRef Torchic [ Chick Pokémon ]
21:11 DaiRef Torchic sticks with its Trainer, following behind with unsteady steps. This Pokémon breathes fire of over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, including fireballs that leave the foe scorched black.
21:12 DaiRef Torchic has a place inside its body where it keeps its flame. Give it a hug—it will be glowing with warmth. This Pokémon is covered all over by a fluffy coat of down.
21:12 DaiRef Male
21:12 DaiRef "While Torchic is rarely found in the wild, it is known to inhabit grasslands."
21:12 DaiRef scanning off...
21:15 Shoey Aiden read over the information a couple of times, fascinated by all of it; mostly the part about Torchic breathing fire over 1,800 degrees! Aiden noticed that a complete set of data was then entered into his pokedex for Torchic. "What if I can get data on every Pokemon?" he thought. "That would be cool!"
21:16 Shoey Aiden then looked at the list of moves Torchic had. (Hopefully that's listed in the Pokedex) He saw that he currently had scratch and growl. "Well at least I know what moves you have." he said, smiling at the Torchic.
21:17 Shoey (I think that this is a good stopping point. I have to go, thanks for the session I really am enjoying it so far!)

Episode III: A New Hope? Wait, that's the right one, right?

SPOILER: Click to show

15:53 Shoey Aiden then proceeded to pick up his Torchic and run up to his room to start packing for his adventure. His plan was to be totally ready so that when his parents got home, he could leave relatively quickly. He set the Torchic down on his bed and let him explore these new surroundings. Aidan grabbed a backpack and started packing.
15:55 RefMankey So he did. Greenwood summoned calamity as he hastily tossed belongings into his baggage. This was a process that'd fascinate even the most dextrous jugglers, though with far less skill involved. The ticking clock and ringing Pokegear could've evaded him, at this point...
15:56 RefMankey A Wingull flew by the boy's room. Perching on the window, it did naught but stare at the Torchic. It wore a dying leaf on its head.
15:58 RefMankey Wingull F 20/20 HP
16:00 Shoey Aiden looked up from his packing, noticing that bird type Pokemon was sitting on the window. Aiden recognized it almost instatnely, as there were lots of Wingulls where he lived. Slightly annoyed at this disturbance, he walked over to the window. "Shoo!" he said, making the "go away" hand motion. He /did not/ want the Wingull to come into his room >
16:00 Shoey as that would be a hassle to get it to leave again. And he wanted to start on his adventure as soon as possible.
16:04 RefMankey Though the Bird-type was no real one, the Wingull was one with wings to be desired. Alas, it recognized an angry human when it saw one, and wasn't sticking around. Leaving the browned plant to wither on Aiden's rooftop, the Wingull fled. There'd be starvation if she stood here any longer.
16:06 RefMankey Meanwhile, Aiden was *packed*! With all the tools he could find -a bottle, a potion, 2 Pokeballs, his Pokedex and Pokegear, and even a few sets of spare clothes - he was able to leave at once.
16:06 Shoey (woops I didn't mean bird /type/ I meant that he looked like a bird)
16:06 RefMankey ( I was playing on that. No worries~ )
16:06 Shoey (OH I see)
16:08 Shoey Aiden stepped back from his handiwork. Well...that wasn't really the correct word for it. His clothes were thrown about in there, randomly organized, and all his other items were in any free pocket he could find. "I'll just fix it once I'm on the road," Aiden thought. "After all, I'm going to have to take things out anyways. He picked up his backpack and
16:09 RefMankey ( I'll let you finish before posting )
16:10 Shoey slung it over his shoulder, while telling Torchic to follow him. He walked to the stairs, checking to make sure his new Pokemon was following him and when he saw it was, continued down the stairs. The only thing left to do was to wait for his parents to be home and with that Aiden put his stuff by the door and started pacing back and forth.
16:12 RefMankey Befitting for its Gym Leader, Petalburg City was a surprisingly quaint city. Though streets were cleaned, and the parks /radiated/ with energy, few people bothered utilizing them. The nature made it hard to notice the meatpacking plant near Aiden's home, fixed right near a /tiny/ lake. But enough of the scenery: Aiden's mother was home!
16:13 RefMankey She took one look at the boy's baggage, and (not so) wryly joked: "My! Has the war begun again?"
16:21 Shoey Aiden's heart burst with joy at the sight of his mom. "Hey mom! You wanna see my new Pokemon I got from Professor Birch?" he asked. Aiden ran to the couch, where his Torchic was currently trying to see if it could peck its way through the cushion and to the floor. He picked the Torchic up and ran over to his mom, holding it up so she could get a good look.
16:30 RefMankey Aiden's mother gasped. She knew it was really /it/, the time Aiden sought manhood. But a Pokemon was completely unexpected, even though it was right on the couch. It wasn't able to dent the Greenwood family couch, but it sure tried. Better results on the floor than here. She offset the bird-ish behavior to keep joking with her son. "Oh, Aiden! Please tell me
16:32 RefMankey it's trained!" Or, truly, will it be? Regardless, she had her own comments to make. The family status was one of them. Dry as jerky, she noted out of the blue: "Father told me he'd be back home at eight. Something big going on at the plant today."
16:36 Shoey Aiden glanced at the Torhic. "Errr...no, its not really trained. But I just got it." He said hopefully. He wanted his mother to like his Pokemon and think he was a good trainer, he didn't want her thinking he couldn't take care of it. When Aiden heard what time his dad would be home, he let out a huff. "Figures," he mumbled. "I don't want to wait until then
16:36 Shoey to leave." Actually, then I"d have to wait until the morning tommorow to leave!" complained Aiden.
16:40 RefMankey "I'm sure you can handle it, Aiden." With that, His mother couldn't bear, however, to hear that complaint. His father was always slaving away in that power plant, making energy accessible. There was a notice she could give, however: "It'd be unlike your father to leave you without a message."
16:42 RefMankey Like a bee to pollen, the woman was drawn to the stack of dirty dishes in the sink. A deep breath followed the realization. Without turning back to Aiden, she asked: "Have you checked your Pokegear lately?"
16:47 Shoey "No," Aiden said, curious now. He looked down at his Pokegear, which he had received as a birthday present last year. He usually always checked it frequently. He must of just been so excited that he totally forgot about it.
16:56 RefMankey Oh, he was probably too excited. On the Pokegear's dim screen (Aiden set the brightness lower) was a display. Two text messages from his father lied there like Stunfisk, waiting to be seen.
16:57 RefMankey "Yo, Aiden!" The first message was just ten minutes ago. But the second one was almost instantaneous, appearing...right now. "I hear you're up to something good! What's up?!?"
17:00 Shoey Aiden hit the 'reply' buton and started to type in his response. "Ya, dad! Professor Birch came by and I finally got my very own Pokemon! I'm all packed to start my journey. But I won't go yet if you want to wait until you get home to see me." Aiden said that last part reluctantly, but he knew that it would make his dad happy, and if Aiden wasn't so excited
17:01 Shoey he would want to wait until his dad got home too.
17:04 RefMankey His father's admiration shone through his texts. This one might be a surprise. "Oh, that's OK, Aiden! I'm on a special field trip - meet me at Route 104!" Aiden's tapping prompted the aromatic. His mother peered over at the Pokegear, and held her arms to her sides. "Huh. Not what he told me." A deep breath. This was going to be it.
17:06 RefMankey The scrubbing sound continued, and so did his mother's mouth. Without much in the way of concern, she asked her son: "Are you going to join him? Sounds like fun, honestly." Those words...even in work, they were soothing as the gentle harp.
17:09 Shoey "Ya, I'll join him," Aiden replied. It /did/ sound like fun to him, and even better was that he was going to get to go out on his own. Aiden walked over to his mom and gave her a hug. "Goodbye mom, he said. "I'll try to come back here as often as I can."
17:19 RefMankey She stopped her chores - just a moment - for this special occasion. A dish clattered, though no special marks decreased its worth. It was a desperate struggle already to find her words. A quiet voice tried to announce these.
17:21 RefMankey "Thank you, my child. Be safe!" She returned the favor. For a while. Thirty seconds passed, and her embrace still wouldn't waver. When it did, Aiden's Pokegear buzzed: "Sounds good!"
17:23 Shoey Aiden pulled away, feeling that the embrace had gone on long enough. "Alright mom," he said. "I gotta get going now, don't want to be late to meet dad. Aiden turned and walked over to the door, putting on his pack. He debated whether to put Torchic in it's Pokeball, and decided against it. He wanted to let it be out and around for the first part of their
17:23 Shoey journey together.
17:26 RefMankey Aiden wasted no time leaving his comforts. A creaking door solidified the man's adventure.
17:28 RefMankey Here was Petalburg City, a quiet, yet charismatic town. Only now did Aiden draw himself to the scenery. Only a few traveled his streets. Route 104 was just a twenty-minutes' walk from his apartment, and there were even a few shops on the way.
