Today. Was. The best! Wanna know why?
Because today, I got to finally take the first steps on my journey as a PokƩmon Trainer!!
It was awesome. Mom and Dad set up an appointment for me to see Professor Willow, and I got to pick out my very own PokƩmon.
Itās a Chimchar! I named him KEEBO, because he reminds me of a monkey boy. Lol
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Before all that went down, I woke up from this really odd dream. Well, Iām not sure if it was a dream, exactly. It felt oddly real.
I was standing outside my house and there was this boy, Luke. He seemed surprised to see me.
He went on to tell me I āslipped throughā to his universe. Then he dropped me off back at my house and told me to be careful because this might happen again. He said he had no time to explain...
After that he disappeared, and thatās when Mom and Dad went out to Chocco town. Like, I never even woke up. Weird.
Anyway, after that the Professor told me I should go get a PokĆ©dex from his friend, The Inventor, in Chocco Town. So I headed down the old Forest Pass, thinking Iād say hi to Mom and Dad while I was there. But then this old guy waved me down...
Of course, it was my dear old Mom and Dad getting attacked by a rabid Pikachu in a freaking red scarf. I mean, what else could it be, right?
Keebo and I made quick work of the little bugger. By the way, Iām not kidding, it was wearing a little red scarf.
Mom and Dad were pretty impressed by my battling skills... and they brought me stuff from Chocco Town!! Mom got me a pair of running shoes! She said to hold down the B button while using them... okay, Mom! Iāll make sure to do that... No idea what she was talking about. But it was really nice of her to get me something! :D
Dad got me an Exp. Share. Iāve heard about these! It lets your PokĆ©mon gain experience while theyāre not battling. I guess Iāll have to catch some more! Iāve got my eyes set on a Sentret. Theyāre oh, so adorable.
Yeah so... I was really just trying to see The Inventor so I could grab my PokĆ©Dex and start logging all the new PokĆ©mon Iāve been seeing. But then this jerk, Percy, came blustering through the woods and announced he was looking for a Pikachu wearing a scarf. I told him Iād taken care of it already, but he didnāt seem to like that. Anyway, Percy has a level 5 Cyndaquil.
I was glad I took Keebo back to the Professorās Lab and healed him up-- otherwise we might not have beat Percy!
After that I was finally able to get to Chocco Town, where I met The Inventor. Heās an interesting guy! Just like Professor Willow, he has a team of aides helping him. He gave me a brand new PokĆ©Dex.
Then he gave me ten PokĆ©balls and asked me to help him out with some of his research. He said there were some ruins heās inspecting in Milkshake Swamp, which is north of town, and he could use some help from a Trainer.
Man, this is all happening so fast! I told him of course Iād join him, but I really needed to get some rest first! Itās been a crazy first day of being a Trainer, and Iām pooped. I think tomorrow, Iāll get up early and catch some more PokĆ©mon before I escort the good Inventor to these ruins in Milkshake Swamp. Canāt wait!!
