nYour Pokémon Journey

Begins Here!

Welcome to the world of Pokémon, where a world of fascinating creatures fill this fantastic paradise.Choices are primarily the root of your journey and these will determine your strengths and weaknesses as a Pokémon trainer. You begin your journey by awaking in a quaint little cottage in Ortown in the region of Blue-hollow.

“Quick! The news!”, your mother shouts earnestly as you rush down the stairs, eager to find out the source of the noise. You leap over the back of the leather suite and lie in a sloth-like position, and stare intently at the television screen. “The once wild race of animal-like species has recently been deemed safe for children to come into contact with over the age of five”, the reporter announced. “The government has passed a law within the past twenty-four hours which states: ‘Person(s) over the age of ten years, will be permitted to own their own Pokémon granted their parents are earning a wage with a disposable income for $5,000 per anum, and have no criminal record’.”

“Wow!” you exclaim in awe, realising you can finally own one of their fascinating discoveries.“The government has also implemented a scheme which allows the aforementioned children to get one Pokémon completely free of charge from their local professor which has a degree in Pokézoology. The funding will cost approximately $2 billion which critics have argued could be put towards “more important causes” but the leading member of the government party have retorted that these provide a “revolutionary look into the lives of those we still know little about and the research could lead to fantastic discoveries regarding healthcare”.”Continue

“You better get down to the laboratory straight away, otherwise the other children in the village will take the ones currently in stock and you’ll be left having to wait for months!”

How will you respond:“Of course, I’ll go straight away.”“Don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of Pokémon, surely.”

Quickly, you get some clothes on, whilst simultaneously scoffing down a slightly singed piece of toast and sprint out of the door and onto the cobbled road. You turn down the tight alleyway which is a shortcut to the building and continue down when you go into the seemingly never-ending darkness. After a few minutes of walking, the light returns, and shielding your eyes, you follow the light, and you enter paradise – a Pokémon filled paradise. The lab is covered in moss and other plant-like substances, presumably to accommodate for the varying habitats which the Pokémon are accustomed to. The doors of the laboratory are activated by voice command into the speaker which only opened when the frequency of a human voice reached it. Walking into the impressive reception filled with massive computers and televisions which broadcasted the latest Poké news. Gazing around, you don’t notice a receptionist to your right who coughs loudly. You turn to see a sullen expression on her face.

“Hello, I’m here to receive my very first Pokémon.”“Ugh… I guess you’re the first of a long line. All the government’s done has made my job a lot harder – and I bet I don’t even get a pay rise”, she sighs huffily. You shuffle uncomfortably on your feet and awaits a further response.“Come with me then, I suppose”, the receptionist says and rises to her feet and walks briskly along the long corridor, her hips swinging side to side frivolously and her high heels clanging on the tiled floor. You proceed to follow her until you come past a room filled with a lava pool, Torkoal standing at the front, erupting lava into the steamy habitat.You arrive at a small room, with Poké balls scattered around the room, in seemingly, no particular order. A quaint woman sits at a wooden desk, which had a laptop on it which she was typing so rapidly it seemed almost impossible!

The receptionist leaves you in the room and slams the door, and the woman turns round with a beaming smile on her face.“Ah, a young adventurer! Looking to have some challenges to brag to everyone you come into contact with? Then a Pokémon is the thing for you! I’m Professor Lacey and I’m here to present you to your first free Pokémon! We have a choice of three Pokémon at the moment, as these have a broad range of moves and abilities. Feel free to pick one!”

Do you pick:• Charmander• Bulbasaur• Squirtle

Lazily, you flick through the TV channels until about noon, when you finally decide to go and get your Pokémon. Slowly, you proceed to getting changed, brushing your teeth and having your breakfast and you eventually leave the house. Along the way you talk with your friends about school and videogames and about half an hour later, you arrive at the Poké laboratory.There is a massive queue just inside in a massive, modern reception with a deep-cherry red receptionist who is multitasking until she can’t multitask anymore. The shouting reaches a level of decibels to one which any sane person would have turned insane at. You patiently wait for the queue to die down as they one by one head down a long corridor filled with trinkets and Pokémon related items. The realisation hits you and you realise people must have travelled from all around the country just to get their own Pokémon – you only recognise a few faces!

Continue

You reach the front of the queue and the receptionist rolls her eyes as she sees even more people enter through the automatic, voice-activated doors. “I assume that you’re here to receive a Pokémon, right? Well, you won’t be able to get a good one since the best will be taken by the passionate few who showed up before dawn.”Your smile depletes and the receptionist gestures for you to follow the rest of the unpunctual down the corridor. Once again, the wait was very long but quicker than the wait for the receptionist since time passed whilst talking to her. You walk into the room whilst beckoned by a Professor with a name-tag which states: Prof. Lacey

“Nice to meet you!,” Professor Lacey exclaims cheerily, shaking your hand firmly, and beaming happily. “Thank you so much for taking an interest in Pokémon – I understand it must be nerve-wracking for a child of your age to come to a big laboratory like this… you’re very brave. Now, I’m afraid what would be considered statistically the best Pokémon have… well… gone. However, we do have two Pokémon which we have on offer!Pidgey and Starly, two bird type Pokémon! So… what will it be?Do you choose:• Pidgey• Starly
