Mom: 'I'm both glad and sad to see you go… it's going to be a big adventure, and all kids your age do this in our world. Somehow. Just like Bianca before you, she's two years older and she started two years ago. Man, our Pokemon world has some weird customs…'
Cyan: 'I know, right? But I'm looking forward to it. And I'll definitely come home every once in a while. Once I can use my Pokemon to Fly. Maybe. If I checked the map correctly, it's pretty hard to come back here.'
Mom: '…'
Bianca: 'This view is scenic, is it not? But that's not why we're here. Pick any of these three Pokemon!'
Cyan: 'Can I get a Charmander? Or a Treecko? A Turtwig? Or maybe a Totodile?'
Bianca: 'These are your three options!'
Cyan: '…'
Bianca: 'What's wrong?'
Cyan: 'I may have been born in the wrong region.'
[some time later]
Cyan: 'I've been looking forward to this so much. But now that it's finally begun… we just don't seem to click, Tepig and I. Do we just need to get used to each other a bit more?
Alder: 'If you want, I'll help you catch another Pokemon.'
Cyan: 'I can catch another Pokemon just fine. I've seen this stuff many times. It's just that I feel bad… other trainers seem to get along with their starter.'
Alder: 'If you want, you can give Tepig to me. I'll take good care of it.'
Cyan: 'Seems fair.'
-WILD RIOLU APPEARED-
Cyan: That's the one! We're going to be best friends!
Tepig: Well screw you.
Cyan: Are you at least going to help me catch it?
Tepig: Just one move and that's it.
Cyan: Ugh. Fiiiine.
Cyan: Goodbye, Tepig!
Tepig: Whatever.
Alder: Don't worry and good luck with your journey! I'll randomly jump off cliffs every once in a while to check on you.
Riolu: I'll never leave your side!
Cyan: Yay!
[some time later]
Cyan: Riolu, you have grown a lot stronger. And you're a Fighting type, so you're strong against Normal types. Do you want to see if we can beat a Gym together? Cheren specializes in Normal types.
Riolu: My only Fighting-type move is Counter.
Cyan: Is that a yes?
Riolu: Um.
Riolu: I told you it was a bad idea.
Cyan: Untrue! You said 'um'. That's profoundly different.
Nurse Joy: Hold still while I spray Potion all over you.
-RIOLU LEARNED FORCE PALM-
Riolu: That should do it.
Cheren: Are you sure you want to challenge me? My gym trainers beat the crap out of you last time. You're allowed a second Pokemon, you know.
Cyan: I'm pretty sure.
Cheren: Okay then.
Cyan: Riolu, Force Palm!
Cheren: ...
Cyan vs Cheren: Riolu lv 15 (Cyan wins)
Cyan: Beige, what are you doing here?
Beige: Just standing in the tall grass. This grass has extra strong Pokemon, you know.
Cyan: You have to actually move to encounter anything.
Beige: I beg to differ.
Cyan: What's with the foolhardiness? Didn't exactly help you out in Floccesy Ranch, where you were so focused on that Herdier while I just randomly bumped into it. Just go with the flow.
Beige: I could explain my story to you right now, but the story writers won't let me do that yet, so you'll just have to deal with it.
Cyan: …
Random chick: Catch a second Pokemon! Riolu will be lonely!
Cyan: Riolu, are you lonely?
Riolu: Nope.
Random chick: Just do it! There are strong Pokemon in the Virbank Complex!
Cyan: Whatever.
-WILD MAGNEMITE APPEARS-
Cyan: Okay, you're pretty cool. Riolu, would you be okay if I caught it?
Riolu: Whatever.
Magnemite: Bzz?
Riolu: Let me do it!
Cyan: I'm sorry, but there's such a thing as a type chart. Fighting moves don't work well on Poison types.
Riolu: This is an Anime-style challenge. Screw type charts. I'll beat the lame rock chick.
Cyan: Don't be jealous! Magnemite can do this.
Riolu: Fiiiine.
Magnemite: Bzz?
Roxie: So unfair!
Cyan: Magnemite is getting charged up by your electricity. You don't stand a chance!
Roxie: I'll switch everything off!
Cyan: Too late. Magnemite, Thundershock!
Magnemite: Bzz!
Riolu: Yawn.
Cyan vs Roxie: Riolu lv 18, Magnemite lv 18 (Cyan wins)
Cyan: I guess the next stop would be Castelia, the capital of our sweet nation. There should be a boat somewhere around here.
Stu: You HAVE to star in one of my movies!
Cyan: Excuse me, have you seen the ship captain?
Stu: Will you come with me? I have a surprise for you!
Cyan: Are you coming on to me?
Stu: Maybe. Also, you have to star in one of my movies!
Cyan: You're like a million years old and I'm not gay. And I'm not a movie star either.
Stu: You will be!
Cyan: Get me the bleep out of here.
Random chick: Do you want to use your own Pokemon for this movie or rental Pokemon?
Cyan: Neither. I want to go to Castelia. Get me the bleep out of here.
Random chick: Own or rental?
Cyan: … FINE. My own Riolu, please.
Random chick: Uh oh! You have to use rental Pokemon the first time.
Cyan: ... which one?
-RIOLU APPEARS-
Cyan: You have got to be flipping kidding me.
Stu: This movie can only be shot with this Riolu.
Cyan: I HAVE a Riolu of my own.
Stu: Let's go!
Cyan: No! Riolu!
Cyan: Are you the ship captain?
Pop Roxie: Yes! And thanks for starring in the movie!
Cyan: Thank Arceus. Now get me the bleep out of here.
Pop Roxie: What's going on here?
Plasma Grunt: Give me your Pokemon! We're Pokemon liberators!
Cyan: Lol.
-RIOLU USED FORCE PALM-
Plasma Grunt: Ouch.
Beige: Let's continue to hunt those bastards in Castelia!
Cyan: I'm actually kind of on a roll beating gyms and I couldn't care less about those weak idiots that are trying to steal Pokemon.
Beige: If you help me out, I'll help you prepare for the next Gym. I can help you select an appropriate Pokemon in Castelia.
Cyan: Deal.
Riolu: Grumble.
Cyan: One of these days you'll come to terms with the fact that your part of a team! And I still love you, Riolu, don't worry.
Riolu: Whatever.
Cyan: Are you still mad about the movie thing? I basically got abducted, you know.
Riolu: I know. That's not it. It's just… I thought I was going to be just the two of us. You ditched that stupid fire pig and then that was it.
Cyan: Well, Tepig and I… we just didn't click. But there are many Pokemon out there, and we should try to be friends with several of them instead of just one. That's just what trainers do. But you'll always be special to me.
Riolu and Cyan: - hold hands –
Cyan: … that may have been a bit gay.
Riolu: Agreed. Let's not do that again. Don't want to become like Stu.
Riolu: Ugh. I hate the sewers.
Cyan: That's ironic.
Riolu: Why?
Cyan: Your name almost means 'sewer' in Dutch. It's 'riool' instead of 'riolu', but it's pretty close.
Riolu: Heh. The more you know…
Beige: Can you shut up? They'll hear us coming from a mile away. I don't care about the Dutch language at all.
Cyan: That was easy.
Riolu: -cleanses fists-
Plasma Grunt: Ouch.
Burgh: Thank you! If you want, you can challenge me in the Gym later on.
Cyan: Beige and I have a couple of things to do first, but I'll challenge you soon!
Burgh: -walks off-
Cyan: He's a Bug type, right? I should get a Zubat from these sewers, he's strong against Bug types.
Beige: Nah. Zubat are for chumps. You're from Unova, where's your national pride? You can get a Woobat instead of a Zubat just a bit further!
Cyan: What does Woobat look like again?
-WILD WOOBAT APPEARS-
Cyan: Um.
Beige: Go for it!
Cyan: -whispers- that thing's ugly as f*ck
Riolu: -whispers- I know right
Riolu: Try to be friends with as many Pokemon as possible, right?
Cyan: Oh shut it.
Woobat: <3
Cyan: I'd rather you focus on winning battles and getting stronger, because we are getting nowhere right now.
-WILD POKEMON USED RANDOM MOVE-
-WOOBAT FAINTED-
Cyan: Sigh.
Cyan: Man. I've got spider webs all over me. And somehow I don't feel as confident as in the previous Gym.
Riolu: -snickers-
Woobat: <3
Burgh: Welcome and let's go!
Woobat: -pants-
Cyan: This Dwebble is too strong for you… Woobat, come back, and go Riolu!
Riolu: Finally.
-RIOLU USED FORCE PALM-
-DWEBBLE FAINTED-
-BURGH SENT OUT LEAVANNY-
Riolu: Uh oh.
Cyan: No problem. Riolu, come back, and go Magnemite!
-MAGNEMITE USED THUNDER WAVE-
-LEAVANNY IS FULLY PARALYZED-
Magnemite: Bzz!
-MAGNEMITE USED SONICBOOM-
-LEAVANNY USED RAZOR LEAF-
-CRITICAL HIT-
Magnemite: Bzz…
Cyan: You're a good opponent, Burgh. Finally a challenging battle. But I think I can still win this. Go, Woobat!
Riolu: This is going to be a disaster.
Cyan: Don't worry. I'm faster now thanks to Thunder Wave.
-WOOBAT USED AIR CUTTER-
-LEAVANNY FAINTED-
Cyan vs Burgh: Riolu lv 22, Woobat lv 21, Magnemite lv 20 (Cyan wins)
Riolu: Maybe battling in a team isn't so bad.
Magnemite: Bzz!
Woobat: <3
