Happy new year everyone, sorry ít took so long, real life and me only starting on Sunday came in the way.
So before I started to write this update I asked for inspiration on discord and @LinkThinks delivered:
You decide if it helped.
Part 11a: Captains aren't what they used to be
Lunar: “Genji, you have accompanied me since the beginning of my journey, so you really ought to catch a break.”
Lunar: “Hmm, you’ll be called Maddie. Welcome to the team!”
While training
And now let’s enter this underground passage.
Girl: “Want to trade it for my Nidoran♀?”
Lunar: “Sorry, I don’t have a Nidoran, neither male nor female.”
Girl: “That’s too bad.”
Lunar: “Okay Maddie, show me what you got!”
Lunar: “Good job, continue with the scratching.”
Keigo: “I like bugs, so I’m going back to Viridian Forest.”
Lunar: “Good luck, then.”
Camper Ricky would like to battle!
Lunar: “Okay, come back Maddie, it’s your turn, Atsuko.”
Lunar: “Kanon, pound him to dust!”
Ricky & Nancy: “Whisper…
Whisper…”
Lunar: “Well, you continue your conversation.”
Lunar: “I think so.”
Lunar: “Nice!”
Lunar: “Very nice!”
Elijah: “Are my Pokémon weak? Or, am I just bad? Which do you think?”
Lunar: “Well, first you should catch some more Pokémon. You can be as good as you want, with only one Pokémon you won’t be able to compete against someone with six.”
Picknicker Isabelle would like to battle!
Lunar: “Like always, use Confusion!”
Lunar: “Okay, try Psybeam now!”
Isabelle: “Things just didn’t work…”
Lunar: “I just battled other Pokémon and Trainers, oh, and I have a diversive team.”
Lunar: “Spoon Girl, use Psybeam!”
Lunar: “Oh, it’s still concious!”
Lunar: “Overkill much?”
Jeff: “I should bring more Pokémon with me. I’ll feel safer that way.”
Lunar: “Good idea.”
Girl: “We’ve heard Grimer multiplies in toxic sludge.”
Lunar: “No, but I heard of it.”
Like always, first stop: Pokémon Center.
Lunar: “Good thing I’m carrying antidotes with me.”
Woman: “Have you ever had that urge? I’m sure you have. I wanted to battle certain people again over and over, too. So, I’ve been giving these away. Please, take one!”
Woman: “Use that device and you’ll find Trainers looking for a rematch. You have to charge its battery to use it, though.”
Lunar: “This’ll probably be useful. Thanks! And how do I charge the battery?”
Woman: “Just walk around a bit.”
Man: “…stats and abilities. A Pokémon raised by a Trainer is stronger than one in the wild.”
Lunar: “I wonder when people will be able to measure how much a trained Pokémon is stronger than a wild one…”
Youngster: “But, all Pokémon will have weak points against specific types. So, there appears to be no universally strong Pokémon.”
Lunar: “That’s actually not entirely true. I read that there’s a Pokémon in the Hoenn region that has no type specific weaknesses. It isn’t the strongest Pokémon in existence though, so your last point still stands.”
Fishing Guru: “I simply looove fishing! I can’t bear to go without. Tell me, do you like to fish?”
Lunar: “A little bit?”
Fishing Guru: “Grand! I like your style. I think we can be friends. Take this and fish, young friend!”
Fishing Guru: “Fishing is a way of life! It is like the finest poetry. From the seas to rivers, go out and land the big one, my friend.”
Maddie: “Meowth!”
Lunar: “Huh, what is it?”
Lunar: “Nice, where did you pick that up? Anyway, let’s try this whole fishing thing.”
Lunar: “Okay, that does it. I really was scammed.”
Old Man: “My Pokémon is tamping the land to lay the foundation.”
Lunar: “I heard that Pokémon also help out with chores, I guess now I see it in action.”
Lunar: “Definitely.”
Man: “Team Rocket traffics in rare Pokémon, for example. They also abandon Pokémon that they consider unpopular or useless. That’s the sort of horrid people they are, Team Rocket.”
Lunar: “Man, the list of bad things they do never ends.”
Girl: “I send my Pidgey to a Union Room to exchange Mail for me.”
Let’s see what he wrote…
“I heard Saffron has problems with Team Rocket. Vermilion appears to be safe.”
I wonder if I’ll meet this Pippi when I get to Saffron.
Girl: “Want to trade it for my Farfetch’d?”
Lunar: “Sorry, I don’t have a Spearow.”
Girl: “That’s too bad.”
Sounds interesting.
Girl: “It squeals, “Kyuuuh,” when I hug it!”
Man: “My Pikachu is twice as cute as that one!”
Lunar: “Well, that’s your opinion.”
Chairman: “I raise more than a hundred Pokémon!”
Lunar: “That’s a lot!”
Chairman: “I’m very fussy when it comes to Pokémon! I surely am! So…
Did you come visit to hear about my Pokémon?”
Lunar: “Might as well tell me about them.”
Chairman: “Good! Then listen up! My favorite Rapidash… It’s cute… lovely… smart… plus… amazing… you think so?.. oh yes… it’s… stunning… kindly… love it! Hug it… when… sleeping… warm and cuddly… spectacular… ravishing…
…Oops! Look at the time! I kept you too long! Thanks for hearing me out! I want you to have this!”
Chairman: “Take that Bike Voucher to the Bike Shop in Cerulean City. Exchange that for a Bicycle free of charge! Don’t worry, my favorite Fearow will Fly me anywhere I need to go. So, I have no need for a Bicycle. I hope you like cycling!”
At least I got something out of this. Remind me to never speak to this guy again.
“The Lightning American!”
Looks like the Gym is inaccessible.
Well, let’s check out the harbor.
Sailor: “It visits Vermilion once a year.”
Sailor: “Excuse me, do you have a ticket?”
Lunar: “Yes, right here!”
Sailor: “Great! Welcome to the S.S. Anne!”
Yeah, definitely looks stunning.
S.S. Anne Theme
Sailor: “You might be challenged by the more bored ones!”
Lunar: “Nice, Pokémon Battles are always fun.”
Le Waiter: “I will be happy to serve you anything you please!”
Lunar: “Mmh.”
Le Waiter: “Ah! Le strong silent type!”
Well, let’s check the rooms from left to right.
First Room:
Policeman: “I’m on the trail of Team Rocket. They’re up to nothing good!”
Lunar: “You are terrible at your job. Imagine I’d be a Rocket. Your cover would now be blown.”
Second Room:
Lunar: “Ah, sorry about that, Strangish, but your odds are bad against this one. Spoon Girl, you go instead! Use Psy Beam!”
Tyler: “Listen, listen! Let me be your friend, okay? Then we can trade Pokémon and do stuff.”
Lunar: “But you’re on a cruise. We probably won’t meet again.”
Lunar: “Man, you really have no luck with your opponents. I’ll have to switch for Atsuko.”
Ann: “You hurt my poor Pokémon! I demand that you heal them at a Pokémon Center!”
Lunar: “I’m sorry, but that’s kind of the result of a battle.”
Ann: “But if you had let me win this wouldn’t have happened!”
Third Room:
Fourth Room:
Lunar: “I’m not a waiter though.”
Lunar: “Hey, le waiter, there’s a girl in this room that wants a cherry pie, I thought you fulfill everyone’s wishes?”
Le Waiter: “Oh, her parents told me that she already ate 3 slices, so she shouldn’t get more.”
Fifth Room:
Lunar: “Strangish, you really have the worst enemies today. Spoon Girl, your turn again!”
Arthur: “I wish to be left alone! Get out!”
Lunar: “I’m going, I’m going!”
Sixth Room:
Seventh Room:
Gentleman: “My sole companions and friends are Pokémon I caught on my journeys…”
Lunar: “Okay Maddie, use Bite!”
Thomas: “You should be nice to friends!”
Lunar: “Remember though, that your Pokémon are not my friends.”
Continued in the next post, and sorry that I reached the character limit.
