Pokemon Blank Version

[Giga-Gar]

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Kitty, use tackle!

[PoikSpirit]

Say something epic! Or say, "Leave now and never bother me again, or you be forced to face the wrath of Kitty!"

Also, silly Gar. Kitty's in a Pokéball right now. Please leave an attack order after the beep.

[Josiah]

Awe the kid with your awesome motion blur.

[Phonox]

Put up your dukes and get ready to fight that caterpie.

[Saber Knight]

Entrance him with the sparkliness of your golden pokeball.

[SuzuTitor]

Eyes met... so that means no running.

Be sure to toss the Pokeball at the Caterpie to see if it does any damage at least.

> Say something epic! Or say, "Leave now and never bother me again, or you be forced to face the wrath of Kitty!"

You strike a dramatic pose, then in your most epic voice you admonish the youngster. "Leave now and never bother me again, or you be forced to face the wrath of Kitty!"



He doesn't seem that impressed. Turns out he knows you're a first timer. How? Well, the last time you met, you didn't challenge him to a Pokemon battle despite the fact that your eyes met, the universal trainer signal for a challenge. As the trainer that was being approached, it was only proper etiquette that you would start the battle. Since you did not, he concluded that you were not a Pokemon trainer, but some weird non-trainer guy dancing in his pajamas.

Your less-than-perfect grammar also did not help in your attempt to appear intimidating. You knew dozing off in English class was going to come back to haunt you someday.

> FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Out of other options, you decide to take the traditional path. You accept the kid's challenge.
Alright, this is your first challenge as a Pokemon trainer. Time to show what you're made of.



Looks like Rick's been battling. One of his Pokemon has fainted, but as you have seen, his Caterpie is still in quite good fighting shape. This battle's going to be a one-on-one.

> Put up your dukes and get ready to fight that caterpie.



You get yourself fired up for the fight ahead of you. This caterpie doesn't know what he's in for. Back on the playground they used to call you Jabbin' Jessie...well, that's what you called yourself anyway. You never quite got it to catch on. All the other kids kind of preferred to use MISSINGNO. as your nickname.

Then you remember this is a Pokemon battle. Your Pokemon is supposed to do the battling.

> Entrance him with the sparkliness of your golden pokeball.



You try again to wow the kid by flaunting your golden pokeball. It shines in the light like...oh wait there is no light. You're in a dark boiler room with all the lights turned off. Again, you fail to impress Rick.

You find yourself wondering if the pokeball is actually made of gold. What if it's just a cheap paint job, like how the Golden Magikarp salesman painted Kitty. You decide to leave the question unanswered, not wanting to ruin it's splendor...or prevent you from showing it off to people.

> Awe the kid with your awesome motion blur.

Well, since your speech skills don't appear to be effective, and your (possibly) golden pokeball can't shine in the dark, maybe you can prove your awesomeness with your amazing pokeball throw, accented by your stunning motion blur.



Turns out the motion blur is all in your head. Rick can't see it, and despite your obviously wonderful imagination, he remains unimpressed.

> Be sure to toss the Pokeball at the Caterpie to see if it does any damage at least.

Okay, it's time to send out Kitty. Your kind of disappointed that you didn't get to pit your own moves against the caterpie, but, hey, it's a pokemon battle.

Nonetheless...



Now you're happy. The caterpie and Rick probably aren't, but you are and your pretty sure Kitty is too, and that's all that matters.

*Beep*

> Kitty, use tackle!



Kitty launches himself at the Caterpie and tackles it, causing a good amount of damage.



But the Caterpie launches back at Kitty with a tackle of it's own.

What will Kitty do? FIGHT l BAG l PKMN l RUN

[Josiah]

Tackle again!

[grassaquilUV]

Continue being a thief, steal his Caterpie

[Giga-Gar]

Run away like the ambiguous gender that you are!

[PoikSpirit]

... Just tackle, it's not worth running. Also, make a mental note to hire someone to make your motion blur a reality.

> Continue being a thief, steal his Caterpie

Even though you haven't been a trainer for more than a half hour, you're pretty sure there's no way to actually steal another trainer's pokemon. Well, you did steal the one from the (fake) Golden Magikarp Salesman. But, that was justified, right? You mean, he was trying to rip you off. And coating poor Kitty in all that gold paint? I mean, you were basically rescuing poor Kitty from that horrible man! Well, you did get Kitty out of it, but that's beside the point. You like to think of it as a perk received from doing a good deed.



Besides, that caterpie kinda grosses you out.

> Tackle again!



Kitty takes another lunge at the caterpie. He deals the same amount of damage as last time.

> Also, make a mental note to hire someone to make your motion blur a reality.



You take the time to make a quick note to yourself to find someone with the talents to create your motion blur in the actual world, so it's awesomeness will no longer be confined to your imagination. You put it on the list of other miscellaneous things you've planned to do, but you underline it to remind yourself that it is of the top priority. You're a trainer now, these things needs to be taken into consideration.



The caterpie returns with a tackle of it's own.

You have a feeling you're going to be seeing that move a lot this battle.

> Run away like the ambiguous gender that you are!



Yeah.

What will Kitty do? FIGHT l BAG l Pkmn l RUN

[PoikSpirit]

Tackle! Tackle! Dance! And then tackle again!
