Sorry about the abrupt way that part one ended. My Internet crapped out all of a sudden. All you missed was I caught a Starly and my mom gave me a journal and JOHNDOEs mom gaved me a parcel. So let's go.
9:41: "Gotcha! BIDOOF was caught!". I'm gonna call him Bidoof.
"DREW found an antidote!" I should probably return it to whoever lost it, poor guy.
"Sandgem town: the town of sand." Oh, like how Seattle is the city of sea. Wait, that's not right.
Dawn's going to show me how to catch a pokemon. i feel guilty telling her i already know how. also, there's no option for that.
hooray, five free pokeballs! everyone wants to hook the DREW up with free stuff. except i already bought five. and used two. boy am i dumb.
"you're a pokemon trainer, and our eyes met, so we must battle!"-- talk about lampshade hanging.
the new animation for quick attack: pokemon runs in a circle, and then runs in my general direction. cool. also i win pokebattle! i is undefeated!
i don't know what Shinx is, but i'm really mad i couldn't catch one.
ok i got one. i think it's supposed to be a lion, but inexplicably blue. maybe it got too cold?
on the other hand, the animation for pound is a little red smudge appearing on my enemies forehead. from now on i'm calling it "smudge".
10:12: i catch kricketot, which appears to be a cricket in a suit. it's my new favorite.
WTF is a Burmy? it's like a unicorn and an acorn got caught in an atom smasher. except any product of that should rightly have "corn" in its name.
I find a potion, and reflect on its implications. are there any other forms of magic in Sinnoh. my brain says no; my gut dissents.
Dawn wants to show me around the big city. by pure accident we run into some crazy man who thinks he's an "international police". i get a "vs. recorder", but coming from a creep like that, who knows what it actually did. oh well, i'm sure i've seen the last of him.
there's two guys outside, "trading pokemon" right on the street. what has the world come to?
i get a town map. i try to think of something funny, and draw a blank.
i proceed to show those douchebag schoolkids who's boss. serves em right for trying to learn things.
i talk to some clowns and get something called a poketch. yep, that's normal.
JOHNDOE wants to fight. again. sigh. i win, but that stupid Turtwig needs to stop using withdraw. jerk.
man Zubat is a big fat cheater. i should probably get one.
"Piplup learned water sport!"-- Piplup learned to Jet Ski? It's bad enough I can teach it to surf.
"Zubat was caught". now i can be a big fat cheater. also i can get my ass out of stupid route 203. ps why do they even bother having wild abras if you can't catch them? just as a tease?
why is Budew smiling at me?! does it know something i don't?!
what water sport does: makes fire attacks work less. that don't do much when you're fighting whatever a Budew is. so i just keep using pound.
"Zubat learned Supersonic" -- hey, now it's actually useful
one sided fight: abra (knows one move, teleport, and can't use it) vs. zubat (knows two moves, one that confuses abra and the other, leech life, is super effective and healy-doing). them's my skillz.
ha, "Lass Madeline", if that is your real name, you take your fancy gym badge and your Psyduck and you go home and tell everyone who's boss! (hint: me).
i got an hm06(rocksmash)! and i can't use it yet. that's kind of dickish.
random dude wants to show me where something is! isn't that Dawn's job?
JOHNDOE just used the phrase "like seriously serious". also who's his dad? and why is he so oblique about talking about it? i bet it's amnesia. plus stupid gym leader can't stay in the gym. (frowny emoticon)
"Oreburg City: City of Energy"-- at least they didn't call it "city of ore". also wondering what's up with the weird slopey-roofs in this town.
Random townsperson named his Psyduck "Yellow"...but its evolution is blue... but its name is Goldduck. my head spins.
The Oreburgh mining museum is as authentically boring as a real mining museum. I liked that their "how coal is made" segment is completely accurate and has no plot significance whatsoever. although i feel there should be more of an acknowledgment of coal's environmental effects.
update on the sinnoh housing crisis: every building in Oreburgh is commercial. they must all commute.
I got a yellow shard!
...What's a yellow shard?
I catch an Onix. which is surprisingly hard. for some reason all my pokemon know are normal type attacks, which are "not very effective". also i had to use something called a dusk ball. at least i only needed one.
you know what's a weird word? "mine". it means three things, none of which have any relation to each other. oh well, back to fighting Zubats.
i catch a geodude. is there no pokemon i can't catch? it would appear not. or maybe it would appear so. that's one of those things where you can put a positive or negative, i don't think it matters.
The gym leader is named Roark. did his parents name him that as a joke? an guess what type he uses? at least "Brock" is a real name.
also he's all "hi this is what rock smash looks like you have to beat the gym leader to use it p.s. i'm the gym leader bye." get some manners to go with your dumb girly hair, dude.
hey, it's the guy who stands by the entrance of the gym and tells you how to win! i remember him! don't the gym members get tired of him?
hey, this gym has a shortcut! oh well, i can one-hit kill these guys with bubble. i shall fight.
...which is what i almost do. it went so small you couldn't even see it, but i digress. still undefeated after two fights, using four moves total (all of them bubble). time to fight Roark.
I lost. twice almost, but i reset before i lose any more money/ battles. my undefeated record remains intact through cheating.
i beat the easy two guys and decide to check out the underground...
...nevmind, can't go there yet. just some wi-fi fighting stuff.
I catch a Machop. I'm working an angle here.
I catch another one so I can trade it for Abra. this is all hilarious I know. but then i put them both in the computer and spend five minutes trying to sort out which was the original.
OK, that was funny in my head. It's 2:35 AM, give me a break.
woman named Hilary trades for my Machop. get to see trade animation for first time. it's truly an astounding experience which can't be described.
I catch Ponyta. No real reason, just wanted one. Also my Cosmos is over so I should probably quitslashsleep now before this stop sense make purple monkey dishwasher.
