Story: The starting point
Customization
The game starts like any other pokemon game. You pick your character's looks and choose your name (You can also name your sibling. They'll look similar to how you customize your character).
You can also pick your personality. It won't have a big impact, just that your animation will be slightly different. (i.e. Entering a battle, clearing Challenges, winning Battles)
Nature types you can pick from:
Calm/Quiet (Default)
Gentle
Sassy
Brash
Timid
Serious
The Beginning
We start off in Historian Amir's studies, It's a simple dimly lit library with a cozy atmosphere. Though it appears that you're all by yourself.
"I'm so sorry for the wait." A low modulated voice spoke as Amir arrived in the room followed by his Gardevoir, who's holding onto a stack of books. "Typically the Professor would do these types of things but it seems that Fir has completely forgotten." He would explain before clearing his voice and taking a deep breath.
"Welcome to the world of Pokemon!" He would start while sending out a Wyvereon. "I am Amir, Belna's Historian and this feisty one here is my Pokemon. Our region is filled to the brim with History, Culture, and most importantly talented trainers." Amir explains as he would reveal a book filled with all the Gym leaders and Champions over the years, including the newer ones, regardless of what game you're playing. "We humans live alongside Pokemon from children playing to helping one another out. However, don't let this closeness fool you. There are still many things we don't know about Pokemon that still fill our world with so many surprises! There's even so much I have yet to uncover with generations worth of work..." Amir would begin to go on about the history of pokemon before being stopped by his Gardevoir. "Oh- My apologies." Amir quickly composes himself. "I don't mean to hold up, I'm sure you're eager to start your next journey."
Cue the title card and the start of your Pokemon Story.
The next scene starts off with you sitting on your bed, playing on your rotom phone. Your room was simple compared to your siblings' overly decorated/messy room. Though your family Minccino enjoys staying in your room because of that.
While you were on your phone, you scrolled through some articles about the Gym challenge, Princess Mila's Coronation, and most importantly tonight's meteor shower. (You can skip over them if you wish). Once you finish reading the last article, Your sibling rushes into your room.
Marie: You're still on your phone? Come on (Player), Casper and Aline are waiting for us. If we don't hurry, the Professor is going to forget and run off somewhere! And don't forget to put on your shoes!
Audrick: (Player) Did you forget? If we're late we're gonna miss our chance to get our pokemon before the Gym Challenge starts! I bet Casper and Aline are at the Professor's place already! Hurry up and put on your shoes!
In a hurry, your sibling runs out of your room and you stand up from your bed. You go to your closet to put on your hat, book bag, and shoes. (You can explore your house at this point.)
When you go downstairs towards the front door, You'll see your mom and your sibling talking before they notice you. "Oh, there you are. I was just about to give (Sibling) something before you two headed out to the professor's lab." Your mother speaks up as you approach them. She then gives you and your sibling five repeal bottles before sighing and shakes her head. "If only there were a safer route for you guys to take to Hampstead."
Audrick: We'll be fine. Going through route 1 will be nothing, plus soon I'll have a cool pokemon who will help if we need it!
Marie: We'll be safe. Hampstead isn't too far off. Not to mention Alien has her Suidor, so we'll be safe.
Mom chuckles and crosses her arms at their response. "Oh well, you two keep an eye on one another okay." She started as she stepped off to the side. " I'll be at Casper's getting ready for the meteor shower. when you guys get back."
Once you get outside, you're free to look around. Your sibling will be waiting for you up ahead, so when you walk near them they'll start walking/running forward, and will stop if you're too far behind.
When you get to the bridge, a small cut scene will start with Casper and Aline standing in front of the bridge as you and your sibling approach them. Aline will huff and place her hands on her hips. "You guys took your sweet time…" She sighed. "I was begging to think you two forgot or changed your minds!"
Audrick:(Player) was on their phone… I was waiting for them by the door for almost half an hour before I checked upon them.
-Audrick is obviously exaggerating, you're player makes a small gesture depending on the personality-
Marie: We had a small incident but it's all good now.
"It was so hard to keep her from going into the woods." Casper whimpered as he dropped his shoulders. "There's been some ghost types wandering around here recently… I didn't want you and Audrick/Marie to get caught up by one." He would admit.
"Those are just stories to keep little kids from wandering into the woods on their own!" Aline would roll her eyes. "Plus my Suidor could take them." She would exclaim as her Suidor would huff in pride.
Audrick: Yeah and once we get our own pokemon's we don't have much to worry about! No more relying on others to get to and to town.
"My point exactly!" Aline agreed. "Now let's go, we chatted long enough!"
Marie: I don't know…I mean Hampstead isn't far, but our mom gave us some repeals, we should use some before we head in.
"It should be fine," Aline reassured her with a smile. "Save your repeals for the future. Now let's go before it's too late. "
Casper shakes his head as the group heads into route one. Because you don't have a pokemon yet it will cut over to the neighboring town. Though a mysterious Pokemon cry catches your attention.
Entering Hampstead
You enter Hampstead alongside the rest of the group. The town you memorized off the top of your head, from your mother's Jewelry shop, the Pokemon Center, and the ever-changing Gym building. A normally quiet place now busy with the preparations of the Gym Challenge.
Aline lets out a small cry of excitement, her Suidor copying. "I'm so excited!"
"Why you already got your Pokemon," Casper questioned as he stepped forward. "If anything, us three should be the one that's excited."
"I'm not just excited that you guys are getting your Pokemon, I'm excited that we're so close to joining the gym challenge together!" She would go on to explain.
Marie: But standing here talking about it gives Professor Fir more time to wander off!
Audrick: We don't have time to sit here chatting! Fir could be getting ready to leave his lab at any moment!
An exaggerated gasp would escape from both Aline and Suidor. "Oh Arceus, you're right!" Aline would start to bolt off. "Come on before it's too late!"
Casper would simply sigh and mutter. "I can't understand her sometimes." Before chasing after her, your sibling follows along with a small giggle. You are now left on your own to explore Hampstead. Unfortunately, you can't leave the town. Anytime you try you'll say something like "I don't want to use up Mom's repeals quite yet…" or "Maybe I should wait till after I get my pokemon."
There isn't much for you to do, apart from going into the shops but you can talk to Michel and Monique.
You walk up to the gym as the two were talking, they don't seem to notice you at the moment. "Every year, more and more trainers keep signing up for this challenge Michel, but not even half of them make it to the semi-finals." Monique started. "I'm telling you, we need to go harder on the ones who need us to get their endorsement letters
Michel sighs at his sister's comment. "I get what you're saying but don't you think it's unfair to be too challenging at the very start, Monique. Please tell me that you won't do anything crazy during the battles."
"But if we don't do anything now people would just think it's going to be a breeze." Monique would roll her eyes before being startled by you. "Oh my! I didn't see you. Are you going to try getting your endorsement letter? Well, I hope you'll bring your A-game!"
"We'll see you tomorrow, try to be here early." Michel would warmly smile.
The two will then walk off, leaving you by yourself one more time. So you finally go to professor Fir's lab.
You rush to the Professor's lab and as Ailne reaches to open the door. A mysterious man with a cap and glasses opens it instead. It was quiet, everyone seemed surprised at first. And as always, Aline was the first to speak up. "Is Professor here?" She would ask as she peaked around the man. "Those three are supposed to get their Pokemon today." she explained while pointing behind her.
The man would look behind her before processing everything. When it all clicked, he chuckled to himself. "So that's what he was forgetting…" He muttered to himself. "You just missed him, unfortunately. He went to Amir's study to prepare for something."
The group would let out an annoyed groan.
Audrick: ARGH! We were so close!
Marie: All that hassle...
"Quick, let's go to Amir's place then!" Aline suggested but before she (and Audrick) could rush off towards Amir's place, the mysterious man stops her/them.
"Wait! No need to rush off!" He quickly spoke up. " I'm the professor's part-time assistant. I have permission to give you your starters when he isn't around. You can call me Victor."
Casper(and Marie) Sighs in relief as Victor lets the group inside the lab. Aline would sit down in one of the chairs and pet her Suidor as she watched Victor let out the three starters.
First was Golpuff who yawns and simply rolls past Chorter, who has a mischievous look on his face. Scormalia hisses as soon as bubbles are launched at him. Scormalia will then use tackle but barely misses.
Please check out the Rival(s) post to see what starters they would pick.
Once you pick your Pokemon, Victor escorts you all towards route 1. "As much as I love to see you guys battle with your pokemon for the first time, this is where we split. "He would smile. "But first, let me give you all these." He would then give you all x10 Pokeballs. "I hope to see you four soon!"
*you can now use your Pokedex*
The group waves as Victor heads back to Hampstead. Once he was out of sight you all walked into Route 1.
Route 1
You all head into route 1, you do have a choice if you want to catch Pokemon or not. You might have a hard time avoiding the trainers wandering around though. If you need to, you can go back into Hampstead to heal your pokemon(s) or buy Items.
While you're going through Route 1, you can talk to your Sibling, Aline, and Casper.
Casper and Marie doesn't catch a Pokemon in route 1
Aline and Audrick does catch a Pokemon in route 1
Belette is temporarily added to Audrick's team.
Hoothoot is temporarily added to Aline's team.
Casper's Home
You all make it to Casper's house only to see Amir, Fir, your mother, and Casper's mom setting up for the meteor shower.
"Profesor Fir!?" the group shouted angrily as they made their way over to the Profesor.
"I can't believe it! You were coming here all along!?" Aline fumed.
Adrick: We could have gotten our Pokemons here while setting up for tonight!
"Woah, why is everyone so upset today?" The professor asked confused. "I thought, you guys wanted me to set up the telescope!"
"No, you said you were going to give us the telescope after you gave us our pokemon!" Casper yelled for the first time.
Marie: Even if we did agree on you coming, you still left the Pokemon at your lab!
The gears in the professor's head slowly started to turn before her face was scribbled in shock. "... Oh that WAS today…" He would whisper to himself before clearing his voice. "Hey, but It looks like Victor took care of everything!" He would chuckle awkwardly.
"Perhaps if you organized yourself a bit better, Victor wouldn't have need to take care of anything." Amir spoke up as he approached the group.
"The Historians here too!?" Aline gaw dropped in disbelief. "Don't tell me Fir invited you instead of remembering literally anything else..."
"Indeed, I would have watched the shower at home but it's nice to have the chance to educate everyone about what makes this day so special." He smiled eagerly. "You see today is also the day the current royal family took over Belna and…" Amir would start going on his ramble. The camera will slowly zoom into his face as the dialogue box starts to speed up. Soon enough he would take a deep breath as his eyes lit up. "And that's what makes this day so special."
"Hey, let's battle, I wanna see your pokemon in action!" Aline would call out from behind Amir.
"I'll heal your Pokemon's so feel free to go all out!" Fir smiled.
Completely ignoring Amir, you will proceed to battle, Aline, Casper, and your Sibling until the sun starts to fall.
"Woah this is crazy, we're actually one step close to joining the gym challenge!" Aline smiled eagerly.
Audrick: I know right, It feels like I've been waiting my whole life.
Marie: It's all happening so quickly. I can't wait any longer.
"Oh, the Gym challenge?" Fir questioned as he finished adjusting the telescope. "You know, Amir and I can write you all endorsement letters."
"What no way," Casper spoke up. "It would almost be like cheating getting an endorsement letter from you two."
Audrick: You guys have only seen us battle with one another. I don't think that's enough to earn a letter.
"Yeah, we all agreed we'd work hard to get approved by the Hampstead Gym leaders." Aline crossed her arms.
Marie: Thank you so much for the offer though.
* I mean if your offering…
Marie: Stop kidding around (player)
Audrick: It's three against one (player)
* No thanks.
The professor sighs and shakes his head with a smile. "Well if you say so."
"We'll cheer you on from the sidelines." Amirs nodded.
"Oh look, the Meteor shower is about to start." Your mom spoke up.
"Hurry up and settle down, I want to take great pictures tonight!" Casper's mother exclaimed.
You all gathered around and the next cut scene starts. As you all watched the meteor shower, something catches your eyes. It had a yellow/blue glow and you watch as it falls into route 1. Curious to see what it was, you went after it, catching the attention of your sibling.
As you enter the woods, you are alarmed by how many ghost types filled it. You can encounter them but they flee after the first attacks.
You wander deeper into the woods and were soon stopped by your Sibling.
Audrick: There you are, why did you run off so suddenly? Let's head back, they're way too many ghost pokemon here.
Marie: Are crazy? Why would you just run off without saying anything? Come on let's go back before everyone gets worried.
You two were about to head back to Caspers's house but stopped at the sound of Lanssaert's cry. The ghost Pokémon starts to increase more and more until you have no choice but to fight a mysterious-looking one. It is a 2 v 1 battle. The Pokémon will whip out all of your team and before you two could runoff the pokemon lets out another cry, and you'll be engulfed by a white light.
You soon wake up in your room. You're a bit confused but notice something in your hand. Before you could get up, your sibling runs into your room with a confused expression on their face.
Marie: That was just a nightmare right?
Audrick: You had that were dream too right?
You shrug and look down at the palm of your hand was a white feather with a weird orb attached to it or a black scale. Your sibling would open the palm of their hand revealing one or the other before muttering.
"So it wasn't a dream."
