Ah, a forest, this brings me back good memories
*Ilex Forest flashbacks*
Actually, nevermind
"Oh! Are you a trainer?"
Uhm, yes, why do you ask?
"My name is Cheryl, pleased to meet you. My mother asked me to deliver a package to my aunt who is on Eterna City but I cannot find the path out of this forest!"
Why do I feel like I already heard this story somewhere else before
"Please, good trainer, will you help me?"
You don't even know me! Didn't your mom teach you to not talk to strangers? I could be a murderer for all you know!
*Cheryl joined you*
Oh, COME ON, you didn't even give me a yes or no option, the game isn't even trying to hide it anymore!
"Well then, let's be on our way! I'll help you in battle with my Chansey!"
>5 base attack
>Egg Bomb/Soft-boiled/Refresh
I think I'm good on my own
*random encounter*
Two Pokemon at the same time? It's like this game hates Nuzlockers!
Let's see
>Budew
Already have Opossum
>Buneary
Ok, guess that's my catc--
>Chansey used Egg Bomb!
What are you doing!? Attack the Budew not the Buneary!!
>Chansey used Egg Bomb! Chansey's attack missed!
I'm not risking it, Opossum, paralyze that *****
>Opossum used Stun Spore Chansey is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
*sigh* now let's catch it
...
..
.
>Gotcha! Buneary was caught!
Side note: I already posted Buneary's(Sonomura) stats yesterday so whoops?
*some other random battle*
>Sonomura was poisoned
No no no no no NO NO NO NO
I just caught you, don't you DARE die on me now
"I can fix that"
Because I swear if you d-- wait, what?
"I can heal your Pokemon anytime you want! I'll keep them healed while we're in the forest!"
You will what now when?
"I said I'll heal your Pokemon"
...
*sudden realization*
WHOOPS! SILLY ME! WE WERE GOING THE WRONG WAY! THE RIGHT PATH IS THROUGH THERE!
"But there is a lot of tall grass that way, are you sure about that?"
Cheryl, look at me, Cheryl. Do you trust your life to this random guy you just met who is wearing a skirt in the middle of a forest?
"I... guess so? Wait, you're a guy?"
Alright, you have to cherish these moments
"Was that supposed to be a pun? Because it was really bad"
So. Let's. Do. A. Training montage!
"What!?"
But I can't do it with text, oh well, I guess I'll leave how it went up to imagination
"What are you talking about?"
Now, let's see
>Teh Anna wants to learn Self-Destruct
Haha, not today Satan
>Sonomura wants to learn Frustation
Just why? No, just, no
*checks Bulbapedia*
>Buneary is the only non-Legendary Pokemon who has a base friendship of 0
Now I get it
You are never evolving because you hate me
>What? Swampasaur is evolving!
Oh my god! Yes!
>Congratulations! Your Swampasaur evolved into Grotle
That's not an Ivysaur but I'll take it
Now it's your turn Opossum
*runs back and forth for 5 minutes*
*reachs Lv. 18*
>no evolution
WHAT? WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO FOR YOU TO LOVE ME? DO I HAVE TO BE CHROM? WHAT? JUST TELL ME! I NEED TO UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF LOVE!
"Hey!"
What do YOU want?
"Look, I realized that this is not the right way"
And what made you think that?
"The fact that we've been in here for hours and that you've been running into wild Pokemon on purpose"
I didn't expect an NPC to be that self aware.
"What did you jjst call me!?"
But that doesn't matter, we are not getting out of here until I finish my training. And since you need MY help, there is bothing you can do about it!
"Oh yeah? How about this?"
...
What IS this?
"It's a Soothe Bell"
And?
"It increases the friendship of the Pokemon who holds it"
...state your conditions, boss!
