001 - First Battle

[dokidokichallenger]

[And so a young man awakens on school grounds today.]

Oh man, what just happened? Where am I? Pikachu? Citron? Eureka? ... Serena? Where'd everyone go?

[Once he gains some semblance of his bearings, Satoshi will be wandering the grounds, looking for his friends.]

Citroooon! Eureeeeeka!

[Your character may notice his yelling and come to see what's up, or if he spots them first, he might come over and ask...]

Hey, uh... Do you know where this is by any chance...?

Comments

[accurately]

They're not here.

[ He doesn't know what you're talking about. Though balls.. ]

If you're looking for sporting equipment, you can check the gym.

[dokidokichallenger]

The gym...? You mean there's a gym here!?

[accurately]

Why wouldn't there be? It's a school.

[dokidokichallenger]

... Ah! But if I don't have my Pokémon, I can't have a gym battle!

[accurately]

You shouldn't battle in the gym.

[dokidokichallenger]

Hm? Why not...?

[accurately]

It's for sports, not dueling. If you want to battle, go to the dojo.

[dokidokichallenger]

But a dojo isn't gonna have a gym badge...

[accurately]

You wouldn't get badges for going to a gym anyway.

[dokidokichallenger]

Well, where else would you get a gym badge from? Not that it matters if I don't have my...

Ah, Team Rocket! I bet they're behind this!

[accurately]

You don't get gym badges. There's no Team Rocket.

[ Midorima's getting more frustrated the more this kid talks, he's making no sense.. ]

[dokidokichallenger]

Who else other than Team Rocket would split me up from Citron and the others and take my Pokémon?

[accurately]

You might be a little confused. There's nothing here called a Pokemon.

[dokidokichallenger]

Eh? You're kidding right? Pocket Monsters, Pokémon for short, in the sky, on the land, in the sea...

[accurately]

I've never heard of them. [ He adjusts his glasses. ]

[dokidokichallenger]

Th-there's no point jokin' 'bout somethin' like that y'know.

[accurately]

Do I look like I'm joking?

[dokidokichallenger]

B-but you gotta be! I mean, everyone knows what Pokémon are!

[accurately]

Everyone knows the gym is for sports, not "Pokemon."

[dokidokichallenger]

And Pokémon Training is among the most popular of sport!

[accurately]

There's no such thing as Pokemon and if you're battling then you need to stay out of the gym!

[dokidokichallenger]

But there totally are Pokémon!

[accurately]

Prove it.

[dokidokichallenger]

Well...! Um, ugh... I can't show off my Pokémon if Team Rocket has them.

[accurately]

I've never heard of Team Rocket either.
