“Party Rock is in the House Toini---!!!!!!”

As LMFAO start the chorus, my mum picks up her iPhone. I hate how she always has her phone’s volume on high, it’s not too much to ask to sleep in on a Saturday without her ‘BBF’ Professer Juniper calling in to talk about something stupid. I don’t even understand half of what they’re saying. It’s like they’re speaking Japanese!

I’m still groggy from waking up, my best friend Jerry and I graffitied the gym last night. The funny thing is it’s also the trainer school, and Jerry has a very imaginative mind.

Anyway, I get dressed and have breakfast while my mum blabs on, talking about a green hat or something. Oh god, somebody's in town apparently, last time that Juniper came I got a freaking pokedoll. I’m 15!

I’m just hanging in my room by the time she comes off the phone (about an hour of blabbering) she blew the money she got fro divorcing with my father on that phone (and shoes). She can’t even get a decent haircut!

“Do you want to be a pokemon trainer Tom?” She asks. Well, that was blunt.

“No,” I say. I just feel like screwing with her.

“Are you sure?”

“No,” I say again. Anyway, this goes around like a broken record and by the time I say yes I’m rolling around with laughter. My mum seems unfazed.

She tells me about an assistant of Juniper’s named Bianca is in town to give me a pokemon. I don’t even say bye and leave the house. Again, my mum doesn’t mind too much.

I go to look for her when Jerry comes up to me with a girl. She looks about 6 but I wouldn’t put it past him…

Anyway, I tell him what my mum told me and as we start to go and look he tells his sister to go back home. I’m somewhat relieved at that. He is only 15 after all.

It was weird though because he keeps going into random spurts of Japanese. Anyway, he’s stalking me as I go around Aspertia City, our hometown, until we find Bianca.

She’s on top of this hill so I go and talk to her. She starts rambling on too quickly to understand. She asks me something about a pokedex I think. I don’t want anything to with that stuff so I say no. She keeps asking and asking until I say yes. She’s a lot like my mum, don’t you agree?

So I get a choice of 3 pokemon and I choose Snivy because all Snivy are bosses. You flippin’ suck Snivy! You’re Bold. OK, I’m naming you Smug because you look smug but you actually suck.

Anyway, it turns out my Rival got a Tepig from a shady man in an alley. I’m not to sure how to respond so I just send out Smug to own his Tepig even though Bold Snivy’s suck.

Jerry runs off and Bianca teleports us to outside the pokemon centre. She forces me in there to heal my pokemon and gives me a boring lecture. Then she ditches me.

Now I can actually do something.

I hear something outside and decide to go and investigate. It turns out to be my mum, Jerry’s sister, and Bianca having a chat. I don’t really listen because my mum’s involved so it’s bound to be rubbish. I get a map of region and my mum gave me steroids so I can run faster.

Everybody leaves which is good because I may finally be able to do some shit. I try to go into the trainer school but this guy won’t let me in, when I ask why he starts blabbering in frickin’ Japanese. I know why he’s not letting anyone in though. Jerry and I had something to do with it.

On Route 19 Bianca wastes some more time before I fight some wild pokemon and find a potion in the grass.

I learn how to jump off ledges, which seems legit. I see a town on the horizon so I decide to stop jumping down the same ledge repeatedly as I was also getting some weird looks.

Holy ****. A guy just jumped off a cliff and he’s asking me to follow him. Teach me how to jump off cliffs please?

I tail him through the uneventful Sangi Town. Only healing up along the way. Now the guy starts speaking in Japanese. Freaking multi-lingual society, can’t we just all speak English?

I think he asked me to do something, but since he’s speaking in Japanese I can’t understand a word he’s saying. I think he said his name is Alder also, well, that’s a messed up name.

I pummel some trainers, earning some dough, before I come across a hiker. He won’t let me past! So I just keep walking along to a ranch.

My rival is there, and for some reason he picks a fight with me. I tackle the hell out his tepig and win again. Like a boss!

He decides that he’s too cool for English and decides to speak Japanese, a weird sound happens then a couple of breeders with a Herdier walk up to us and give me the Japanese treatment as well. They give me a potion though so it’s all good.

As I go to explore my rival boosts ahead of me. For some reason there’s a Janitor at the ranch so Louis murders his Lillipup and his Mareep.

By the way my rival is just standing around I think he’s expecting me to find something. He then gives a paralyze heal before I kick another trainers ass.

I then here a weird noise as my rival sprints past me again. Then, in the grass, I find the epicness which is Riolu. I catch is but this Riolu seems to be a bit forgetful, so I nickname it ‘Forgetful’.

I then go to the Pokemon Centre before confronting a guy in a pirate costume back at the ranch. He seems to roughing up a Herdier (not the same herdier to the breeders one btw). Jerry says something and then runs off. The pirate dude of course notices me though. He asks a question and I say no. I get a TM which I think is frustration. Then he runs off at an alarming rate.

The Herdier barks at me, in Japanese. That’s right, even the dogs are barking in Japanese. Even the dogs are too good for barking in English. The breeder dude from earlier comes and has a conversation with his Herdier because of course they both speak Japanese. A dog can communicate to fellow humans better then me now. My life is starting to suck.

Jerry walks off and the breeder pulls the finger at him, and then turns to me.

“I DON’T SPEAK JAPANESE,” I yell slowly but he continues to talk.

“ENGLISH,” I sound out. Japanese, the man seems to think.

He now walks off with that Herdier.

I talk to the two breeders and both their Herdier’s back at the ranch but they don’t give me anything so I decide to go back and see how that jumping-off-a-10-metre-cliff-like-a-boss dude is going.

Alder ushers me into his house and I obey because if he can jump off cliffs he must have an awesome house.

He want to beat up some kids pokemon, I obliged. He heals my pokemon up then I ditch.

Outside a man comes up to me. Is he a stalker? Probably. I’m a very popular person. He doesn’t ask for my autograph though. I guess I wouldn’t know what he’s saying because he’s speaking in Japanese. The guy gives me a box and a single coin. Then he ditches ME.

You don’t ditch me. I run after to smash the guy up, but he disappeared. He’s like that blue dude from the second X-men movie!

Alder pops out of his house and says some useless rubbish (ie: Japanese). Before going back into his house.

I remember the trainer school is also the gym, so I want to take this chance to beet up that snob Cheren. Alder jumps off that cliff again though. He gives me an oran berry and then I tune out. He walks off and I go UNINTERUPPTED (for once) on my way.

I do fight some wild pokemon with Forgetful because Louis is too massively overpowered compared to him. And then I go into the trainer school.

Cheren found away to wipe off the graffiti, so class is as usual. I try reading the whiteboard, which inevitably has status’ listed, but it’s in Japanese, as with everything else, so that sucks.

I go outside, to where the gym is. And Cheren does a big speech before running away like a pussy.

I hermit gives me a fresh water and I go run to catch up to Cheren.

A youngster blocks my way though. So I dispose of him and his two pokemon.

Riolu learns feint now, even though it sucks. I didn’t even get a choice to what he forgot; foresight just went out the window!

This Lass makes a move on me, doesn’t even want to battle. But she’s not that great looking so I battle her, and of course defeat her. But Forgetful being under the effect of Torment is irritating me a bit.

Now, for an epic battle, vs Leader Cheren!

It was surprisingly unepic actually. A used Growth to get up to +6, with some potions along the way, then Vine Whipped the heck out of his pokemon. Just like that, I win. It was disappointingly simple really.

I get heaps of cash, and a Basic Badge though, so I’m not complaining!

Now to see if that stupid hiker will let me past.

Damn you Bianca.

She stops me, again. On the upside she gives a TM and I thing with red text so it must be important. Then Cheren comes and they have a group chat. I sneak away before I have to get too involved.

I blow all my cash at the pokmart before going to see what that hiker’s up to.

The hiker who’s fat ass was blocking my way seems nocturnal because he’s standing stock still in the same place as before. Now he says he’ll let me pass if I defeat him.

In short, my Riolu owns his Riolu before Cheren and Jerry catch up to me. Cheren gives us both a Pecha Berry. Boring, bye.

A beat up some preschoolers and their pokemon, then the nursery aide comes to their aid and battles me. My Riolu is actually given a scare from her Dunsparce, but Forgetful defeats him in the end.

Forgetful forgets how to use foresight, just like how I forgot he had it. He learns the epicness that is Force Palm though so, that’s good.

Here’s the entrance to Virbank City. So I, guess what, enter the city.

My Mum calls me, and even though she of all people knows I don’t speak Japanese, she speaks Japanese. I hang up and check out the city.

It’s a seaside city, and there are some canals under the place as well which is pretty cool. There are a variety of buildings, including a pokemon centre, so I invite myself in there.

After I exit the pokemon centre I walk across a bridge and see a building that looks like it’s going to go underground; it’s also the only pink building in the city so I assume it’s the gym.

Before I go there however, I see my team has a grass type and a fighting type pokemon, so I’d get owned.

Where can I possibly get some more pokemon, hey look there’s a big place with trainers and grass, lets go down there.

It’s called the Virbank Industrial Complex apparently so I go in there and catch a Koffing, Magnemite, and Growlithe. Triple Threat for the win!

I name the Koffing Smogon because unlike the rest of Unova, who speak Japanese, I speak German.

The Magnemite I call Remy, because I can.

For Growlithe’s name I decide to smash my keyboard and see what comes up. 005872341 appear. I shorten it to 005 so he sounds like he’s from a James Bond film.

I defeat 3 miners and a couple of youngsters with my new pokemon, coupled with ample trips to the pokemon centre.

Then a fat guy gives me the TM rock smash, which is a bit late for the first gym but I’ll take it.

I think Nurse Joy wants to charge me for all of my trips to the pokemon centre now, but she refrains from doing that. Anyway, onto the gym!

I go into the pink building which is the gym, and there’s some horrible singing, I think the leader is reciting the alphabet in reverse. She has two other band members, who I seem to have to battle before the leader.

I find out that smogon is annoying in these two battles. Why you ask? Because he’s so competitive he pops out every time an opponent sends a Koffing into battle!

Other then that though, Remy was easily able to take out the other poison type pokemon by spamming sonic boom.

The same goes for the gym leader, who’s name is Roxie. Smogon of course had to defeat the other Koffing (I can tell this is going to annoy me) but then I switch in Remy to again spam sonic boom vs the Whirlipede.

Another easy gym battle covered in one paragraph -.-

Roxie gives me the TM for Venoshock, as it is one of the only poison type TM’s in the game. Subsequently she loners me in the gym.

I go to follow only to find she’s gone. I thought Cilian, Cress, and Chilli were ninja’s. But she’s disappeared out of thin air.

I’ll probably have to do something extreme obscure that will take me days to find out without going on YouTube to make her reappear. So I’m going to sleep on it.
