2. Welcome to the world of Pokémon, where a world of
fascinating creatures fill this fantastic paradise.
Choices are primarily the root of your journey and these
will determine your strengths and weaknesses as a
Pokémon trainer.
You begin your journey by awaking in a quaint little
cottage in Ortown in the region of Blue-hollow.

3. “Quick! The news!”, your mother shouts earnestly as you rush down
the stairs, eager to find out the source of the noise. You leap over the
back of the leather suite and lie in a sloth-like position, and stare
intently at the television screen.
“The once wild race of animal-like species has recently been deemed
safe for children to come into contact with over the age of five”, the
reporter announced. “The government has passed a law within the
past twenty-four hours which states: ‘Person(s) over the age of ten
years, will be permitted to own their own Pokémon granted their
parents are earning a wage with a disposable income for $5,000 per
anum, and have no criminal record’.”

4. “Wow!” you exclaim in awe, realising you can finally own
one of their fascinating discoveries.
“The government has also implemented a scheme which
allows the aforementioned children to get one Pokémon
completely free of charge from their local professor
which has a degree in Pokézoology. The funding will cost
approximately $2 billion which critics have argued could
be put towards “more important causes” but the leading
member of the government party have retorted that
these provide a “revolutionary look into the lives of
those we still know little about and the research could
lead to fantastic discoveries regarding healthcare”.”

5. “You better get down to the laboratory straight away, otherwise the
other children in the village will take the ones currently in stock and
you’ll be left having to wait for months!”
How will you respond:
“Of course, I’ll go straight away.”
“Don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of Pokémon,
surely.”

6. Quickly, you get some clothes on, whilst simultaneously scoffing
down a slightly singed piece of toast and sprint out of the door and
onto the cobbled road. You turn down the tight alleyway which is a
shortcut to the building and continue down when you go into the
seemingly never-ending darkness. After a few minutes of walking,
the light returns, and shielding your eyes, you follow the light, and
you enter paradise – a Pokémon filled paradise. The lab is covered in
moss and other plant-like substances, presumably to accommodate
for the varying habitats which the Pokémon are accustomed to. The
doors of the laboratory are activated by voice command into the
speaker which only opened when the frequency of a human voice
reached it.
Walking into the impressive reception filled with massive computers
and televisions which broadcasted the latest Poké news. Gazing
around, you don’t notice a receptionist to your right who coughs
loudly. You turn to see a sullen expression on her face.
Continue

7. “Hello, I’m here to receive my very first Pokémon.”
“Ugh… I guess you’re the first of a long line. All the government’s done has
made my job a lot harder – and I bet I don’t even get a pay rise”, she sighs
huffily.
You shuffle uncomfortably on your feet and awaits a further response.
“Come with me then, I suppose”, the receptionist says and rises to her
feet and walks briskly along the long corridor, her hips swinging side to
side frivolously and her high heels clanging on the tiled floor.
You proceed to follow her until you come past a room filled with a lava
pool, Torkoal standing at the front, erupting lava into the steamy habitat.
You arrive at a small room, with Poké balls scattered around the room, in
seemingly, no particular order. A quaint woman sits at a wooden desk,
which had a laptop on it which she was typing so rapidly it seemed almost
impossible!

8. The receptionist leaves you in the room and slams the door, and
the woman turns round with a beaming smile on her face.
“Ah, a young adventurer! Looking to have some challenges to brag
to everyone you come into contact with? Then a Pokémon is the
thing for you! I’m Professor Lacey and I’m here to present you to
your first free Pokémon! We have a choice of three Pokémon at the
moment, as these have a broad range of moves and abilities. Feel
free to pick one!”
Do you pick:
• Charmander
• Bulbasaur
• Squirtle

9. Lazily, you flick through the TV channels until about noon, when you finally
decide to go and get your Pokémon. Slowly, you proceed to getting changed,
brushing your teeth and having your breakfast and you eventually leave the
house. Along the way you talk with your friends about school and videogames
and about half an hour later, you arrive at the Poké laboratory.
There is a massive queue just inside in a massive, modern reception with a
deep-cherry red receptionist who is multitasking until she can’t multitask
anymore. The shouting reaches a level of decibels to one which any sane
person would have turned insane at. You patiently wait for the queue to die
down as they one by one head down a long corridor filled with trinkets and
Pokémon related items. The realisation hits you and you realise people must
have travelled from all around the country just to get their own Pokémon – you
only recognise a few faces!
Continue

10. You reach the front of the queue and the receptionist rolls her
eyes as she sees even more people enter through the automatic,
voice-activated doors.
“I assume that you’re here to receive a Pokémon, right? Well, you
won’t be able to get a good one since the best will be taken by
the passionate few who showed up before dawn.”
Your smile depletes and the receptionist gestures for you to
follow the rest of the unpunctual down the corridor. Once again,
the wait was very long but quicker than the wait for the
receptionist since time passed whilst talking to her. You walk into
the room whilst beckoned by a Professor with a name-tag which
states: Prof. Lacey
Continue

11. “Nice to meet you!,” Professor Lacey exclaims cheerily,
shaking your hand firmly, and beaming happily. “Thank you
so much for taking an interest in Pokémon – I understand it
must be nerve-wracking for a child of your age to come to a
big laboratory like this… you’re very brave. Now, I’m afraid
what would be considered statistically the best Pokémon
have… well… gone. However, we do have two Pokémon
which we have on offer!
Pidgey and Starly, two bird type Pokémon! So… what will it
be?
Do you choose:
• Pidgey
• Starly
