So yesterday I was lying in my hammock, enjoying a coffee, having a few hours to spare until I started working. Earlier, I had been given a team for my Random Pokémon Challenge for Platinum, and I started this game.
What was supposed to be a simple log of events somehow turned into a story, complete with characters and dialogue. I therefore decided to move it to this Challenge Log thread and see where it goes.
Where I am in the story is also where I am in the game. So I play, write, play, write. Anything can still happen :)
Chapter 1: The Mines
The story starts with an adventurous Piplup, named Piplup. Piplup wanted to see the world and meet many new friends.
Piplup walked, and walked, and then ran, and ran. He found many other Pokémon, like a Bidoof, a Shinx and a Starly. But none wanted to be friends with Piplup.
Then, after a lot of walking and running, Piplup met a Ponyta. But the Ponyta wasn't very friendly either. In fact, the Ponyta was very aggressive!
Piplup tried to get away, but the Ponyta was faster and easily caught up with Piplup. Piplup tried to fight the Ponyta off, but the Ponyta was too strong.
And so, the short adventure of the adventurous Piplup came to an end.
But the story doesn't...
You see, this story is actually about the Ponyta, a Ponyta named Aline. Aline is very brave, and always dreamt of becoming the greatest horse of the greatest Dragonslayer. Aline will fight every Pokémon that comes in her path, even if they are Rock or Water Pokémon, and is searching for the greatest Dragonslayer to accompany her on her quest.
Of course, Dragonslayers and Knights and Humans only exist in fantasy stories. But Aline didn't know this, and set off on her quest.

Blood type: O+
After a long walk, and fighting many Pokémon that crossed Aline's path, Aline reached a settlement with grottos and mines. Aline went into a mine, and saw many Zubat and Machop, working very hard.
Olá! I'm here to fight you all!! Come on!!
Hey!! Are you all deaf!? Don't ignore me!! Fight me!!
But the Zubat and the Machop kept on working, trying their best to ignore Aline.
That does it! I'll just tackle all of you from the back, if you keep ignoring me!!
Aline started charging at the Machop closest by to her, but then a low but strong voice echoed through the mine:
I'm not working here. I'm here to fight!!
Aye, aye, Sir!!
Yes, Sir!!
The Geodude and the Onix went to grab Aline, but Aline wasn't planning on pulling any carts. She fought back, much to the surprise of the Geodude and the Onix. A long fight followed, and when in the end the dust clouds settled, Aline stood on top of the Geodude and the Onix, who were lying unconscious on the muddy ground.
My name is Aline, and I am the greatest horse of the greatest Dragonslayer in the region!! I mean, I will become the greatest horse of the greatest Dragonslayer in the region!! Once I found myself a Dragonslayer, that is... Who are you!?
Voluntary!? It doesn't look very voluntary to me!! These Pokémon are slaves! I don't want to be a slave!! You're gonna have to fight me over it!!
Roark the Cranidos charged at Aline with his head, and hit her full on the shoulder. Aline cries out in pain, but didn't give up and send embers flying back.
It was a very heated battle. All the Zubat and all the Machop stopped working and watch their boss fight the little Ponyta. Roark kept charging with it's head at Aline, but Aline started managing to endure the hits, and after a few well aimed fire attacks, Roark fell on his knees and surrendered.
A loud cheer came from the Zubat and the Machop who were watching, and they triumphantly carried Aline out of the mine. The little Ponyta had saved the workers from Roark the Cranidos.
They celebrated for days, but for Aline it was time to move on. Aline needed to find herself a Dragonslayer, to become the greatest horse of the greatest Dragonslayer in the region.

Hmmmm... Dragonslayer, huh? Well, one can dream, I guess. Let me introduce myself. I am Roark, and I'm the owner of these mines! All these Pokémon here work for me! On a voluntary basis, of course. And I want you to work for me too!!
