Yeah?

"Can you come downstairs? I need to talk to you."

'Kay, I'll down in a minute.

"Honey?"

Yeah?

"It's been a minute. You're not downstairs."

We- well, can't you yell it up?

"Yes, but you won't do it then."

Look, just tell me what it is, and I'll see what I can do.

"....he...ift."

What?

"Proff...with ...if."

WHAT? SPEAK UP!

>>22877
All right, what did you say? I coul-

"OH GOOD, you came down. Thanks honey.~"

...HOW do you keep DOING that?

"Mom powers. Now, I need you to help me with a little errand."

"Professor Elm just called, and he said he wanted to talk to you about another odd-job. Probably something with lab equipment. Something to fill up the afternoon."

Oh, goody.

"DON'T SCOFF! That man pays well for your help."

Fine, fine, I'm in, just let me get my stuff...

"Well, have fun, dear!"

...

"It's an expressio- oh whatever."

Stupid busy wo- oh! Uh... hello.

Um... I-I don't have any food on me, so ca-

"THERE YOU ARE!"

OH! Uh, hi Lyra. This one yours?

"Hey Jack! Yeah, Dad got her for me near Olivine! Isn't she the cutest?"

...yes?

"Well, I gotta go train now. Hey, my Dad wa-"

Was looking for me, I know, I'm on my way over there.

"Oh... okay, then, bye!"

Man, it's breezy today.

Well, might as well get this over with.

The Professor's Errand - Elm's…

Doc? You here?

"AH! Jack! Wonderful to see you again."

"All right, so what's up?"

"Well, I was looking at some of my research notes, and I realized I'd forgotten to scan some of the newer research papers into the system from my expedition to Hoenn. And being a man of impeccable filing, you see, I simply could NOT let this be properly..."

Uh huh. Yeah. Sure.

"..nd I thought, why not give back to the community, and let a young lad earn his pay through the betterment of SCIENTIFIC PROGR-"

Yes, fine, paper scanning, I know. Just, tell me where to start.

"...all right. Well, I was thinking that perhaps you cou-"

*Elm's body locks up, as his head slowly raises to stare straight ahead.*

"You found a... well, that's... I mean... WHO? But why is h-...I see. No no, I'll... I'll do it. But are you su- yes, yes, sorry, sir."

*Elm turns back around, his warm expression now pale and solemn, staring down at the ground, his brow locked in a concerned stare, his fingers fidgeting*

Uh... Professor?

*Elm looks back up, the spell broken, blinking several times.*

"OH! Um... uh... Jack, change of plans. I have a different errand for you. And...*scratches head* you're not getting paid in money for this one..."

Wait, what?

"I need you to go to Cherrygrove. North of that town, there's a colleague of mine who has come across a particularly interesting Pokemon Egg."

...wait, WHAT?

"Don't worry, Don't worry, I know the grass is dangerous, so that's wh-"

Dangerous? You do KNOW I have NOTHING to protect me, why are you sending me? Why not send Lyra? She's got all the Poke-

"THAT IS WHY... I'm giving you one of mine."

...wait...what?

"Yes, I-I-I'm giving you one of mine, you're old enough, and it's high time you took care of one, Jack."

But, you don't have an-

"I have 'research samples' from Birch. You can have one of those."

Serious?

"Absolutely..."

...this isn't a joke is i-

"JUST... take one!"

...which one?

"Any one's fine, but only one."

Okay, then...

Now...

Which one do I take?

Hmm...

***Should Jack choose, the Treecko, the Torchic, or the Mudkip?***

>>22892
TORCHIC

>>22893
Well, this one looks nice.

*Elm's expression sinks*

What?

"Oh, nothing it was just... really nothing."

All right, so... what's his name?

"Well... um..."

Ken?

Ken: "Ken?"

Elm: "Yes... Ken."

Well, that's ju- wait, you can TALK?

Elm: "*sighs* Yes, they... talk."

Ken: "Oh come on, enough of this. I heard what the deal was. We need to go to Cherrygrove, right? Well, wherever THAT is, there's things to fight, right? Then let's get OUT of this lab and go FIGHT something!"

Um... okay.

Lab Assistant:"Hold on you two."

Ken:"Oh come on! Let's go, let's go! I'm sick of this place!"

Lab Assistant:"Now, now, you can't rush into this without proper supplies, here."

Sweet, potions!

Ken: "Fine, fine. Whatever! Outside! Let's go!"

T-that's not even a... look, first, we have to tell Mom I'm going to be gone a while.

Ken:"Aw, dude? Really? Ugh. FINE."

Hey, look, we'll... get to fighting in a minute.

Hi, Mom!

Mom: "Oh! That was fa-... is that a Pokémon?"

Yeah, I got a bit of a bigger job than boxing today. I'm going to be gone a little bit longer than usual.

Ken: "Look, we've got a schedule, probably. We're just stopping to say hi."

Mom: "..."

Yeah, it... talks.

Mom: "Okay, then. Well, maybe you should take this, to keep in touch..."

Uh, sure... we'll be back in a while.

Ken: "Okay, NOW, can we go?"

...Sure.

Ken: "SWEET!"

Ken: "Oh COME ON!!!!"

Elm: "I just thought we could sha-"

Ken: "No, we're not interested. Go away."

Elm: "But, what if you need to che-"

Ken: "NO!!!'

Look, I'm-I'm not arguing with him right now. Just, ask my Mom if you need my number.

Ken: "Yeah, yeah, come on, let's go, NEXT ONE!"

Ken: "Man, really? Find me something bigger to fight."

This is... kind of fun...

Ken: "Fun? Kicking bugs is fun? This is BORING!"

*FWOOSH!*

Ken: "Heheheheheahaa~ YEAH!!! Ba-BOOM!!! Man, I am PUMPED. UP!!!"

Ken: "Just let him take you on the stupid tour. It's the simplest way out of these things."

Old Man: "THIS IS A POKEMON CENTER, THEY'RE NOT AS GOOD AS THEY USED TO BE, SOME VIRUS OR SOMETHING."

Old Man: "THIS IS A STORE! YOU CAN BUY THINGS HERE! POTIONS USED TO BE A NICKEL A SIX-PACK!"

Old Man: "THIS IS THE ROUTE TO MR. POKEMON'S HOUSE! KIDS PLAY RAP MUSIC AND RUIN THE COUNTRY UP THERE!"

Ken:"Yeah, that's where we need to go, we'll talk to you late-"

Old Man: "PLEASE HOLD ALL QUESTIONS UNTIL THE END OF THE TOUR SIR MA'M THANK YOU VERY MUCH."

Old Man: "THIS IS THE OCEAN, IT'S NICE AND LOVELY AND BLUE MOST OF THE TIME."

"Oh thank God. Hey, you gotta help me! I've been on this island for days, and I can't swim. Please call someone over to pick me up, I n-

Ken:"Nod. Just, nod."

*nods rapidly*

Old Man: "GREAT, TALK TO YOU LATER!"

...

Ken: "Let's get out of here."

Agreed.

*One top-up later*

Hang on, Ken. I remember that Wurmple had a Poison Sting. We better stock up on supplies for other ailments first, just in case.

Ken: "Okay, fine, let's just make this quick."

Ken: Okay, then, let's get back to kicking butt.

Okay... Okay, I think we lost him.

Let's just hide in the grass to be sa- AGGH!

Ken: "Dude. Relax. It's just a Taillow. They're cannon fodder back home."

Yeah, that reminds me, we've been running into a lot of Hoenn Pokemon lately. Where's all the Johto ones?

Ken: *shrugs shoulders it may or may not half* "I don't know. You guys messed up the ecosystem, not me."

I guess... Johto never really DID have have local species much anyway...

Huh. I guess we're here.

Ken: "Pfft. Already? Jeez, that went too fast."

D:

NOPE.

Um, excuse me, do you know where Mr. Pokemon's House is?

Ken: "Dude. Asking for directions?"

Do you WANT to do that again?

Ken: "...no."

Kid: "Oh yeah, he's up north, to the right. Just keep going that way, and you won't miss it."

Cool...

Ken: "SWEET! A new attack!"

Wait, where are your fire abilities?

Ken: "Where are your SHUT UP abilities? This rocks!"

Please tell me this is the right one.

Ken: "Well, the mailbox says it is. The Postal Service are many things, but liars they are not."

Shadowspawn lie. They lie a LOT.

Ken: "Well, it can't be anywhere else. Let's just try it."

Mr. Pokémon:"Ah! You must be Elm's friend! It was getting dark, we were beginning to get worrie-."

DON'T EAT OUR EYES!!!

Mr. Pokémon: "..."

Oh... uh, sorry.

Mr. Pokémon: "...well, anyway, on to business..."

Mr. Pokémon:"Here's the package I needed you to give Professor Elm."

*JACK OBTAINED THE MYSTERY EGG*

Mr. Pokémon:"We're pretty sure it's an egg of a Pokemon that's yet to have been seen in the Johto region before. I want you to take it back to Professor Elm, and have him examine it properly."

Sure.

Ken: "No Prob."

???:"A-HRM!!!"

Mr. Pokémon:"Hm? OH, Oh, yes! I have a visitor who wishes to speak with you, Jack."

Tron Legacy - Soundtrack OST -…

Ken: "Dude. That's Oak."

Oak: "Hm.... It-"

Talks. Yeah.

Oak: "Fascinating. I've been hearing a LOT about you, Jack."

What?

"An old friend has told me many things about you. And that I should meet you first hand."

Ken: "Look, just, we don't know that old guy, he just kept following us around to-"

Oak: "I have a request to make of you, my boy."

Oak: "This new paradigm of Johto, the one of danger and variety, it simply MUST be analyzed. But trainers are MUCH harder to come by, now that the Centers don't heal the fallen. Pfah! Worrywarts. Centers have only been able to fully heal for a few decades, how soon they forget what life USED to be like as a trainer."

Well, being nostalgic of difficult times is a slippery slo-

Ken: "DUDE. That's OAK."

Sorry.

Oak:"But you? Your handling of your Pokemon, despite never using one before, shows an inner spark I have not seen in people in a LONG time. Perhaps I CAN part with this old thing one more time..."

Oak:"...take it. It's yours."

W-wow! WOW!

Ken: "Dude, I told you, Oak, man!"

Oak: "Hm... Well, Mr. Pokémon, it has been lovely speaking with you again, but I'm afraid I must be off. My Radio show's on early tomorrow, and I simply must get a good night's rest. I look forward to hearing of your progress, Jack."

Uh... he, heh, actually I'm just delivering a package.

Oak: "Of course. Still, adventure's worth while to think about, wouldn't you say?"

R/G/B/Y - S. S. Anne
Wow. That was... fun. Ready to head back, Ken?

Ken: "No, but I don't think I have a choice in the matter here."

Not really.

Ken: "Mmhmm. Whatever, we can fight stuff on the way back."

Probably won't be as tough with all the levels you got though.

Ken : "Whatever..."

Ken: "So, what do you think you're gonna do after this errand?"

Well, I'm probably gonna go home and get some rest, and then I'll eat di-"

Ken: "No, I mean beyond that... you want to keep training around here?"

What? I-I can't, your Elm's Pokemon. I'm just borrowing you.

Ken: "You could ask him. He used to give out guys like me to guys like you daily. Shoot, I'd vouch for you. You're an utter wuss, but you're better than getting cooped up in the lab."

I don't... I don't know...

Ken: "Oh come on! I hate being in that stupid ball all day. This was FUN! Why do you hate fun?"

Well, I mean, I don't even have a REASON to keep you. Just a Pokedex, an-

Huh?

What?

???: "NAME. NOW."

Uh... Jack.

???:"Battle me."

What?

???:"You're the one. Battle me."

WHAT?

???:"GET YOUR POKEMON OUT, AND FIGHT ME!!!"

...WHAT?

Hmm, not bad. Perhaps even well done. At the very least, better than I anticipated. I really appreciate the effort you're putting into it.

Well, with Labor Day Weekend longer than usual, I've got an extra day to kill, so, yeah, expect the next part about 3pm Central Time on Monday.

Probably going to stick to once a week after that for a while, test schedule getting tighter.

>>22956
Scratch that.

SURPRISE WEDNESDAY TEST.

Hate Computer teacher.

See you dudes next Saturday.

>>22981
Scratch that, that was Wednesday of NEXT Week. Plenty of time.

We're back on.

Sorry about the confusion.

Pokemon Heart Gold / Soul Silv…

Wait, who are you? What do you mean "I'm the one"?

>>22984
???: "The one I'm supposed to battle on my way out."

Ken: "Wait, back up. Jack, do you know this guy?"

No, I don't think I've ever seen him before.

???: "Of course he doesn't, why would I spend my time in a backwater dump like THAT town without a reason?"

...okay, yeah, we're fighting...

>>22986
Ken:"...Where did you get that?"

>>22987
???: "..."

Ken: "Less chatty now, eh? FINE, I'll deck your stuff anyway."

>>22988
Who was that directed to?

Ken: "Either way, someone's getting socked in the jaw."

Ken: "YEAH! We won! What you got to say to that huh?"

>>22990
Ken: "...I don't like this guy."

Yeah, I don't think I do either.

???: "Whatever. I can top up later. I got what I came for."

>>22991
???: "Listen, I'm not sure if you're some part of his plan or just a minute detail, but if you are, tell him I'm not that interested with this petty crimes nonsense in the boonies."

Wait, who? No, still, who the heck are YOU?

???: "He didn't tell you? Huh, he usually does. Name's....., and if you DO see or hear from him again, tell him he better start explaining himself on the deal we made, or this whole thing's off."

Uh, okay?

???:*smirks* "See? Not so hard. Now get lost, I've got stuff to check on."

Ken: "Well, that was weird. We should probably head back to New Bark, though, I want in on some of that dinner you were talking about."

Did he say petty crimes?

Ken: "Hm?"

And did that Pokemon seem familiar to you?

Ken: "Yeah, he's an... old..."

...no.

Why didn't I give him my number? WHY?

PROFESSOR! I-

Elm: "Oh. Hello Jack..."

Policeman: "Excuse me, young man, I need to speak with the Professor right now, I'll answer your questions later."

There was a robbery, wasn't there.

Policeman: "Yes, fine, there was, but we're still investing though, and I really need you to-"

???:"Dad? DAD!!!"

Lyra: "Dad! I heard what happened! Oh my gosh, are you all right?"

Policeman: "Mi-Miss, Miss. I need you to stay back, this hasn't all been dusted down for prints yet, so we need t-"

Elm:"I'm fine dear, I just a bit spooked is all."

Ken:"Look, flatfoot, we need to talk to you, we don't have muc-"

Policeman: "I told you, I'll deal with your questions la-"

Lyra: "Let me see my father!"

Policeman: "NO! I STILL NEED TO GATHER EVIDENCE FROM THE BREAK-IN, AN-"

I KNOW WHO DID THIS.

Policeman: "...what did you say?"

I know who did this. I caught his name, and I can add a physical description if needed.

Policeman:"Well, we have surveillance footage of the perpetrator, but please, if you have a name, tell us!"

What was the name the thief gave to Jack?

KING COLE

King Cole.

Policeman: "Hmm, obviously some sort of moniker, but every bit helps, I'll check the records back at the station for a match."

Policeman: "Well, that wraps that up."

Elm: "But I thought you had more questions..."

Policeman:"Well, I did, but they were about any evidence of a name or identifiable tag, and unless you do have something..."

Elm: "Oh, uh, no sorry, I don't."

Policeman: "Then right now, the best I can do is take the information this kid gave me back and file it. Whoever it was didn't leave much physical evidence to go by. Whoever that "King Cole" is, he's eerily good at this for being so young."

Policeman: "I'd contact your insurance about the broken equipment, if I were you. Field specimens are probably not covered, but you never know..."

Elm:"T-thank you..."
