Epic Touhou Pokemon Quest

>Ponder if we can stuff Myon in the backpack.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Trainer? And you have one too huh?"
>Have Myon float behind our back and out of view for now...

>Myon floats behind you as you speak.
>"Yeah. You know, a pokemon trainer: Someone who catches and trains pokemon. And yes, I do." she replies, trying to aim at Myon as it hides.

>Do we know that normal people don't fly?
>How old do we look in normal-people years?

>You do. Since most of the inhabitants of the Human Village don't fly, and they're among the most "normal" people in Gensokyo.
>You look about 16 or 17 years old, physically.

>"That's been following me for a long time.  Nothing to worry about."

>"Oh, so is it a pokemon then? Do you intend to catch it once you get your starter?"

> How much do we compare in height with this girl?

>She's slightly taller than you.

> Chest comparisons included.

>Your chests are about equal in size.

> "So... um... I have to introduce me. My name it's Youmu."

>"I'm Dawn." she smiles, "It's nice to meet you."

> Ponder if we have to says that Myon it's our friend, at least.

>You wonder if saying that would get her to drop it, you're not sure if it'll work.

>Ponder if we can stuff Myon in the backpack.

>You probably could, but it might be uncomfortable for it .

>"Catch? Uh, I don't really need to worry about it going away or anything, so why would I want to do that?"

[Tashi]

> "And doesn't that sound mean?"

[Monarda]

>"It's also really friendly, just a bit shy."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Catch? Uh, I don't really need to worry about it going away or anything, so why would I want to do that?"

> "And doesn't that sound mean?"

>"Well, it'll keep other trainers from catching it if it's a pokemon." says Dawn, "Um... It is a pokemon, right? Sorry for asking, but it's kinda hiding from the pokedex..."

>"It's also really friendly, just a bit shy."

>"I see..."

[Monarda]

>"I dunno, it is just making me company."
>Rub Myon.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I dunno, it is just making me company."
>Rub Myon.

>You show some affection to your phantom half, allowing Dawn an opportunity to scan Myon.
>"Huh, well the pokedex says nothing... Maybe the professor can look at it when you choose your starter?"
>_

[Monarda]

>"Professor ?"
>Pet Myon.
>Have Myon then sit on our head.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Professor ?"

>"Yeah, Professor Rowan." Dawn gives you a curious look, "You should've heard of him if you're a new trainer... Did you move here from another region, maybe?"

>Pet Myon.
>Have Myon then sit on our head.

>You pat Myon and have it rest on your head.
>"Heh, that's pretty cute..."
>_

[Monarda]

>"Sorta, so...."
>Look around.
>"Where are we headed again ?"

[Tashi]

> "And what are this "starters" you are talking about?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Sorta, so...."
>Look around.
>"Where are we headed again ?"

>"Professor Rowan's lab is in Sandgem town, want me to take you there?"

> "And what are this "starters" you are talking about?"

>Dawn blinks, "You mean you don't know? Well, I guess if you're from another region you'll be unfamiliar with Sinnoh's starter pokemon... Anyway, here in Sinnoh, new trainers get to choose between Turtwig, Piplup, and Chimchar as their first pokemon."

[Searinox119]

>"Well... if it's not any trouble for you, then yes, that would be great..."
>"So the new trainer has to pick one of those three... pokemon to train first? What are they like?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Well... if it's not any trouble for you, then yes, that would be great..."

>"Alright," Dawn nods, "Right this way, then."

>"So the new trainer has to pick one of those three... pokemon to train first? What are they like?"

>"Well, Turtwig, Piplup, and Chimchar are grass, water, and fire types respectively. I personally think Piplup look really cute compared to the other two." she explains as she begins to lead you, "But turtwig and chimchar are amazing in their own ways too. Though most trainers that pick chimchar tend to struggle with the Oreburgh Gym unless they catch a grass, water, or fighting type along the way... By the way, speaking of gyms, what made you decide to become a trainer? Do you intend to take on the pokemon league, or are you more into contests or adventures?"
>_

[Monarda]

>"Contests ? What are those ?"

[the old guy]

>"We fight using monsters? What happened to the other types of duels?"

[Monarda]

>"We fight using monsters? What happened to the other types of duels?"

>Don't say this.

//This is an different and strange world, so Youmu would likely try to play it safe.

[Tashi]

> "Do you have one of those starters?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Contests ? What are those ?"

>"It's a thing that started in the Hoenn region where trainers have their pokemon use their moves to appeal to judges for points rather than battle. We also hold them here, in Sinnoh, but only in Hearthome City, which is on the other side of Mt. Coronet." Dawn points to the distant silhouette of a mountain in the distance.

>"We fight using monsters? What happened to the other types of duels?"

>Don't say this.

>You hold your tongue

> "Do you have one of those starters?"

>Dawn nods, "Yes. I started with a Turtwig, but it's fully evolved now."
>_

[Monarda]

//Not like the Anime.

>"I see... may i have a look at it ?"

[Tashi]

> Brace ourselves for any monster that "Turtwig" might be.

[Searinox119]

>"Huh? Why only there?"
>"Also, Oreburgh Gym? And, umm... isn't it a little unfair to those who picked this Chimchar if all other starters hold such an advantage?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Huh? Why only there?"

>"I'm not sure, really. I guess it's because contests aren't as popular here in Sinnoh than they are in Hoenn."

>"Also, Oreburgh Gym? And, umm... isn't it a little unfair to those who picked this Chimchar if all other starters hold such an advantage?"

>"Yeah, the gym in Oreburgh city. It's recommended for most beginner trainers who want to take on the Pokemon league, though some trainers decide to choose the Eterna Gym first instead. And on that note, even though Chimchar struggles in the Oreburgh Gym. It greatly excels in the Eterna Gym, where both Turtwig and Piplup run into issues."

//Not like the Anime.

>"I see... may i have a look at it ?"

>Dawn nods, before pulling out one of those red and white balls from a pocket.

> Brace ourselves for any monster that "Turtwig" might be.

>You anticipate something horrible.

>"Torterra! Come on out!" she tosses the ball into the air, and it flips open, releasing a flash of light that travels to the ground and manifests as a huge creature.

>The ball then closes and falls back down, where Dawn catches it.
>Meanwhile, you are utterly perplexed as to how such a small ball could contain something so big and intimidating.
>_

[Monarda]

>Looks like Gemsokyo isn't the only land full of wonders...
>"Whoa ! I-It's so.... huge..."
>Look at it some more.
>"It even has a tree on it's back..."

[Tashi]

> "H-He... looks kinda... intimidating..."
> Shudder a bit.

[the old guy]

> "H-He... looks kinda... intimidating..."
> Shudder a bit.

>Oh come on, it's not THAT scary.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Looks like Gemsokyo isn't the only land full of wonders...

>Gemsokyo, the amazing world of gems.
>You can't help but be at least a little awestruck.

>"Whoa ! I-It's so.... huge..."
>Look at it some more.
>"It even has a tree on it's back..."

> "H-He... looks kinda... intimidating..."
> Shudder a bit.

>Oh come on, it's not THAT scary.

>You shudder slightly, but the more you think about it, it doesn't look nearly as bad as what you were bracing for.

>"Yeah, he's pretty big and unique looking." says Dawn, petting its head, "But don't let his appearance fool you, he's actually very gentle. Isn't that right?"
>Torterra gives a low reptilian hiss of approval and nods slightly.
>_

[Tashi]

> "Huh... so it can understand us?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

> "Huh... so it can understand us?"

>Dawn nods, "Yup. All pokemon can understand humans."
