God dammit Joey.

So what’s happened since getting the egg?

Well, I’ve just been doing a lot of catching and grinding.  Let’s see some of the results!

All right, let’s see what Elm’s assistant wanted.

So earlier in the game, i gave Professor Elm an egg, right?  I mean, that makes sense, cuz he studies Pokemon, and if he only just found out that Pokemon hatch from eggs, I mean… man, he has a lot of researching to do.  Maybe the assistant will tell me what they managed to—

……I JUST GAVE IT TO YOU.  All right, actually, saying that they need to be around active pokemon is a good point, it changed my mind.  Lemme just put a pokemon in the PC so I can take it.

JOEY I AM BUSY.

Well that was fairly painless!

And now, with a party consisting of Festy the Cyndaquil, Rosewol the Hoothoot, Grubzee the Butterfree, Crow the Pidgey, Peter Rockovich the Onix and Egg the Egg, I will continue my pokemon adventure!

So what happened in Violet City?

This kid proved to me why I am a crotchety old man who thinks 10 year olds shouldn’t have cell phones.  I HAVE THINGS TO DO, JOEY.  STOP CALLING.

I caught a Bellsprout, named her Whipkind (but I’ll call her Whippy, for short), and raised her to level 10.  I also caught another Bellsprout and traded it for an Onix named Rocky, whose name I will never be allowed to change.  So I’m going to call him Peter Rockovich for long.  I raised him to Level 11, but now he won’t pay attention to my orders.  So distant… they always do become rebellious around that age.

Also I… did whatever it is you do in the Sprout Tower and ended up getting HM01!  So after a successful romp through the tower and getting my team up to at least level 11, I knew exactly what to do!

C’mon Falkner, I wanna battle!

Or… or you want to battle.  All right fine, I’ll let you take credit.

I foresee this being an easy battle.

Holy Baloney, I was right!

Excellent! So I beat the first Gym and got myself a nice shiny Zephyrbadge!  Ahh, accomplishment feels good.  But what’s this? Professor Elm calls me to have me talk to his assistant in Violet City?  What will happen next?

The adventure begins.
