In Which Ecks Chases A Girl
 

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue001.png

Okay, so, I think I've made up my mind. To help the Professor dude, I mean.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue002.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue003.png

This one seems like a worthy choice. It reminds me of KFC. Oh how I loved KFC... until Mom decided the whole family was going vegetarian. Thanks, Mom. Thanks so much.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue004.png

Zigzagoon, eh? Looks like some kind of lame raccoon. I'm gonna go ahead and bet that there's a million of these things EVERYWHERE and its gonna bug the hell out of me in the future.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue005.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue006.png

Okay, so now I'm officially a criminal. What? This is technically cockfighting. See? My chicken-esque Pokemon is even male.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Dude, that's totally weaksauce, man.

Huh?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif You heard me.

Talking Pokemon? Stranger things have happened...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif So are we gonna break this bitch's kneecaps or what?

Dude, I'm an asshole and even I'm not that harsh. Can't you just, I dunno, rough her up a little? Like, give her a couple scratches to scare her off?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Fine. Pussy.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue007.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue008.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue009.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Happy now?

Not really. I mean, big picture? I'm not a happy person. But at least she's out of the way.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue010.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue011.png

So what you're saying is that this whole situation is your fault?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue012.png

You're welcome. I expect compensation.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue013.png

You heard me.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue014.png

Yes. That is who I am.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Rescue015.png

Okay, sure, whatever. You better have something for me. Hazard pay, or something.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Wuss.

Shut up, I'm trying to get something outta this guy.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif So go beat him up.

Maybe I'll beat YOU up.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif HA HA HA, sure kid, and maybe I'm Abe Froman.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward001.png

So, Birch.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward002.png

Father? Heh, I don't have a father. Seriously, he's never around.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward003.png

Well, it's not that big of a deal. I'm kinda fast, I can run through tall grass easily enough. I think.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward004.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif I had to do all the work. This pansy wouldn't let me go all out.

Dude, it was a fucking Zigzagoon. Get off those steroids, man, they make your gonads shrink.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Yeah, well... Your mom.

Whatever, man.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward005.png

Again, what father? I haven't seen him since I was three.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Never knew my dad either. Popped outta my egg and this hot brunette handed me over to the dork in the lab coat.

Was she wearing a green bandanna?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Yeah, that's the one. Pretty hot for jailbait.

One, you're a Pokemon. Pretty sure there's laws against... that. And two, she's my girlfriend. Hands off.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Really? A chickenshit like you? You're either rich or-

OH HEY PROFESSOR BIRCH WHAT WAS THAT YOU WERE SAYING?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward006.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward007.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Wait, WHAT?

Really?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward008.png

Well, it's better than nothing.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif WHAT THE FUCK? Birch, don't give me to this asshole, please? I'm begging you.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward009.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif What.

Hmm...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward010.png

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif What the fuck kind of name is Kentucky?

The kind that goes before Fried and Chicken, that's what!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Uh... okay, I'm gonna stop being a dick to this guy. If he's seriously contemplating EATING me...

Dude, you're way too lean. A wing has more meat on its bones than you do.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif HEY! Are you insinuating that my lean meat would not be tasty? GO ON MOTHERFUCKER, TAKE A BITE!

Can the 'roid rage, Kentucky, I think Birch is trying to say something.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward011.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward012.png

Oh, guess we didn't miss anything important.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Yeah, this guy never has anything interesting to say.

And you're some profound conversationalist?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Shut up, douche.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward013.png

That's just fantastic- did you say May?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward014.png

Let's see... I could say YES, or I could say, YES!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Wait... why are both options YES?

Because.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward015.png

She will be when I'm through with her!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward016.png

Sure, sure. Only replace "TRAINER" with "lover." Heh heh.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Dude, you're kinda creepy.

Oh, come on! I'm 12, she's hot and also 12! Do the math!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Point taken. Just... tone it down a notch, would ya?

Only if you cool your jets sometimes.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Fine.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward017.png

That's cool. Guess what? I'm gonna go make out with his daughter.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward018.png

Wat.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Yeah, I'm not touching that.

That's what she said!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Dude.

Okay, okay. I'm toning it down.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x.../Reward019.png

And we're off to go find May.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI001.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Cool, finally get to leave this hole.

Oh my God, you think it sucks here too?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Well, yeah. I mean, there's no Pokemon Center. No Mart. Not even a Gym. I mean, if there was a Checkers at least, that would be something.

You have great taste in fast food.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Coming from KFC Guy? Not sure if I take that as a compliment.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI002.png

Sayounara, suckers!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI003.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI004.png

Thanks for the tip. I don't really care.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI005.png

Whoa, what the fuck?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI006.png

Oh boy, a wild Pokemon.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI007.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Can I toast this one? Please?

Knock yourself out. Well, not really, but you understand what I'm getting at.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Sure do. Watch THIS!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI008.png

Whoa.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif But I didn't do anything yet.

I think he fainted from sheer fright.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Wuss.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI009.png

I'm guessing that's gonna happen every time we go through a patch of grass.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Well, it would get tedious if it happened EVERY time.

We could just pretend it didn't happen.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Not all the time, though.

No, not all the time... just when it doesn't seem particularly interesting.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Whatever floats your boat, man.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI010.png

No shit.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI011.png

Nifty.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI012.png

Oldale Town. Slightly less of a hole than Littleroot.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif At least this one has a Pokemon Center.

Right?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI013.png

Y'know, I'd have something for this, but I'm preoccupied with the whole gonna-go-make-out-with-May thing.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Just take me inside already, I'm dead on my feet.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI014.png

I would have chosen a different color scheme...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif HEY, MR. INTERIOR DECORATOR. TAKE ME TO THE PINK HAIRED NURSE BEFORE I ROAST YOU.

Dude, take a chill pill before you have an aneurysm.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI015.png

Hmm. I know the whole 'hot nurse' thing is cliche, but you're lookin' pretty fine.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif DUDE, HIT ON HER LATER.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI016.png

Cool. When's your next break?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif LATER!

Alright, sheesh.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI017.png

Sure, why not.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI018.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif SWEET RELIEF!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI019.png

For you, baby? Anytime.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI020.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI021.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Wait a sec, what? WHAT?

Dude, chill, I think she just means that she'd rather see us back here than, y'know, let you die or something.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif That's just it, though, isn't it? SHE'S HOPING I'LL GET HURT AGAIN, SO I HAVE TO COME BACK HERE! THAT BITCH!

No, that's fucking crazy, Kentucky.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif But-

Dude, c'mon, let it go.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Alright fine... but I'm watching her... like a hawk.

A chicken hawk?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif ....

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI022.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI023.png

Really? Sweet.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI024.png

Now to check my... huh?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI025.png

"Someone's PC." Who's "Someone"? Is it... May? Naw, it would've had her name on it if it were... Still, s'not every day someone leaves their login and password for everyone to see.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI026.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI027.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI028.png

Oh, I was hoping there was a porn collection on here or something...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Dude, you're 12.

So?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI029.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI030.png

Anyway...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI031.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI032.png

Wait, what did that say?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI033.png

WHAT.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Dude, are all humans this stupid?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI034.png

WHAT.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI035.png

WHAT.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI036.png

WHAT.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Dude, snap out of it!

Huh?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Are you... okay?

I dunno... hey, who's that guy?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif What guy?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI037.png

This guy.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif I don't see anybody.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI038.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI039.png

Okay, sure.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Who are you talking to?

The Poke Mart guy.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif WHAT Poke Mart guy?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI040.png

This one, the one I'm following to the Poke Mart.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif What the hell are you talking about?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI041.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Are you... are you TALKING to yourself?

Course not, he's right here in front of me.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI042.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI043.png

Oh, goody! What is it?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI044.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI045.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI046.png

Thanks, man. Free Potions rule.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI047.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Dude, there was nobody there the whole time.

Huh?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif You were talking to yourself. There was no one else around.

Okay, then where did this nifty Potion come from?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Okay, THAT is weird...

You're eyesight kinda sucks, buddy.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif And your grammar leaves something to be desired.

What do grammar and leaves have ANYTHING to do with each other? I know there are lots of trees around here, but- okay, fine, I get it, change the subject...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif ....

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI048.png

Moving on! Let's go find May so I can get to making out with her.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI049.png

Oh boy... more tall grass...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI050.png

Whew, made it without being attacked. Hey, there's May! Now let's...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI051.png

...sneak up on her...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI052.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI053.png

Damn, got spotted.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI054.png

What's happenin', hot stuff?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI055.png

Yeah, his name is Kentucky. Say hello.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif I hate you.

BOY, I SURE COULD GO FOR SOME EXTRA CRISPY.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif I mean hello.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI056.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI057.png

Are you saying... you wanna *snicker* play with my COCK?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Okay, dude, that's pretty lame. Come on.

What? It totally works.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif No, dude, no.

You're a male... chicken... thing... she wants to battle, which is sorta like playing...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Finished?

Yeah, okay, fine. I thought it was funny.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Nobody cares what you think.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI058.png

Pokemon Trainer May sent out Mudkip!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI059.png

Hey Kentucky?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Yeah, Ecks?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif I FUCKING LOOOOOOVE MUDKIPZ!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

But seriously, let's go.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI059.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif YOU'RE GOIN' DOWN, PUNK! FLAMETHR-

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI060.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif WHAT.

Dude, you're level seven. You don't know Flamethrower.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif But... but that's not fair...

Dude, just use Focus Energy and scratch him up a bit.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Guess I have to work with what I have.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI061.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI062.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI063.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif YEAH, GET SOME! GET SOME!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI064.png

Whoa, calm down, killer.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Huh?

You won, hurray, now cool it.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Jeez, what crawled up your ass and died? I'm PUMPED.

Okay, now un-PUMP for a sec.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI065.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif YEAH, LEVEL EIGHT! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!

Settle down, dude.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI066.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI067.png

Yeah, I know, and we haven't even done anything yet.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Way to take everything she says out of context.

DUDE! DON'T HANG A LAMPSHADE ON MY M.O.!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Shit, I accidentally the whole LP, didn't I?

Wow, there goes the fucking fourth wall.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Sorry man.

You better be.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI068.png

Wait a sec, I get money? For winning? Man, my girlfriend rules.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Ahem. I get a cut of that.

What?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif I did all the work, so I should get a cut of that.

Where the hell are you gonna carry it? You don't have any pockets. Or a wallet.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Fine... but you better not spend all my money...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI069.png

Y'know, I like your dad and all, but why don't we ever talk about us? And by "talk about us" I mean "make out like hormonal teenagers"?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI070.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Where the word "like" is a loosely defined term.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI071.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...friendI072.png

Wait, we haven't made out yet.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...ToOnrac001.png

Dammit.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Bummer.

Like you care.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Sure don't.

Whelp, I'd rather not go through the grass, as you're a little worn out from that battle.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif I am not... I could fight, if I wanted to.

Whatever, gonna jump that ledge.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...ToOnrac002.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...ToOnrac003.png

Yeah, I can jump.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...ToOnrac004.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...ToOnrac005.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Dude, what was that all about?

Kentucky, sometimes you gotta jump before you can run.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Huh. Iron Man reference.

I know, wasn't Robert Downey Jr. THE MAN in that?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif I wouldn't know, I was paying more attention to Gwyneth Paltrow.

Touche.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Pretty good looking for a woman her age.

Anyway, before we head back to that HOLE...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...ToOnrac006.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...ToOnrac007.png

Aw, sweet, there's May.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...ToOnrac008.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...ToOnrac009.png

Only for you, babe. Because seriously, I hate Littleroot.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...ToOnrac010.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand001.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand002.png

Yup, fantastic. Hurray. Whatever. May's hot.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand003.png

Maybe she can help me with MY research, huh huh.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Put a sock in it, dork.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand004.png

Well that's cool, dude.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand005.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand006.png

Uh oh...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif What?

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif WHAT?

That.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif So, let me get this straight. Because Birch gave you a PokeDex, you are automatically obligated to travel the world so that you can find EVERY SINGLE POKEMON IN EXISTENCE to record data for it?

Pretty much.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif FUCK YOU BIRCH!

Yeah, that's cool and everything, but WHY ISN'T IT ALREADY FINISHED? ARE YOU TELLING ME I'M THE ONLY SAP YOU'VE CONNED INTO DOING THIS FOR YOU?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand010.png

Apparently not. Evidently your dad's never heard of child labor laws, has he, May?

THEN WHY AREN'T THE PAGES SHE'S SHOWN YOU ALREADY RECORDED IN MINE?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand014.png

OH BOY OH BOY IS IT WHAT I THINK IT IS?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif No.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand015.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif AHAHAHAHAHA!

Why are you laugh- oh, I get it. The symbolism. Motherfucker.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif HEE HEE HEE! Hey Ecks!

Ugh... what.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif She just gave you balls! Which is implying that you had none before!

Shut up.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand016.png

I think we should see other people.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand017.png

We can still be friends with benefits, right?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand018.png

RIGHT?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand019.png
http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand020.png

Oh, goddammit.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Cheer up dude. There's bound to be plenty of hot LEGAL tail somewhere in Hoenn.

Problem. I'm NOT legal.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Oh.

She'll come back to me. They always do.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Dude, she was never your girlfriend to begin with.

LET ME LIVE IN MY FANTASY WORLD, OKAY KENTUCKY?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif And I thought I had problems...

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand021.png

Ugh... Let's go, I never want to come back here ever.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Ditto.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand022.png

Shit. It's Mom. Better leave before she-

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand023.png

Sees me.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand024.png

Yup. And he was not a total moron or creepy at all.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand025.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Did you hear that? She thinks I'm adorable.

How do you know she didn't say EDIBLE?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Because it's right there, in print, you idiot.

Ignoring you.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand026.png

What father? Mom, he left you for a Gardevoir. Or at least that's what all the mean kids at school used to tell me, right before they beat me up for my lunch money. Y'know, before you started homeschooling me. Speaking of which, once Kentucky learns Flamethrower...

Aww... th-thanks... M-Mom... You didn't have to... *sniff*

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand030.png

Mom, they're running shoes. You put them on and you RUN. Why should that need any further direction?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand031.png

Oh, cool, she actually skipped the instructions.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand032.png

Great, good for him.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand033.png

Yeah, sure, like that's gonna happen.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand034.png

I will, Mom. Thanks for the shoes.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand035.png

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif You should be nicer to your Mom.

That WAS nice. I thanked her for the shoes.

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif If that's "nice," I can't wait to see "asshole."

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...eErrand036.png

Well... now what?

http://i757.photobucket.com/albums/x...chicGIF003.gif Beats me.

And here we are. Go ahead and call me a hack. I don't really care, I'm having more fun writing this than actually playing the game. Thanks for the lead on those sprites, Token, I appreciate it.

Yeah, I went with Mac's suggestion for Torchic's name. I figured it would go right along with my entirely-spur-of-the-moment decision to make frequent fast-food chain references. I'm very sad that I didn't get to Mauve's suggestion until AFTER I'd already played and written the update.

Also, I'm planning on doing mini-updates each time I add a new Pokemon to the team, kinda like character profiles. This way, I can sort of explain each team member's personality in full, along with various other random unnecessary factoids. There won't be too many - when I play Pokemon, I don't swap out team members very often unless one of them becomes obsolete. I try to put together a team that will last right up to the end of the game. Hence, when I ask you guys for input on what Pokemon I should pick up for the team, what I really mean is

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY

No 6 Beautifly team, no "Not Fully Evolved only" team, nothing like that. Each team slot has to be filled by something that will at least get me through the next Gym, though something I can keep long term would be preferable.

Next leg of the journey is Oldale to Petalburg. I would like to ask from you:

a) which Pokemon (if any) should I capture (keeping the previous couple of paragraphs in mind) along the way

b) how should I go about trainer battles, etc? I know I wasn't too good about it in this update, because apparently despite the HP bar moving back and forth, my opponents never hit me with an attack. Emerald doesn't stop after the opponent makes a move, and it goes right to your turn, and I'm horrible with savestates.

c) am I doing a decent job for my first LP? Granted, this is only the second update but given a couple of comments I'm wondering if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

I am committed to this, believe me, I'll make it at least to Dewford Town before I have my first breakdown.

That's all for now, look forward to Kentucky's Character Profile soon! And then following that, the next REAL update.

EDIT: For your viewing pleasure, this update now uses 100% more ANIMATE GIF FILES! Onward to a bright new future of fantastic animated goodness! I'll get to each update when I can, I may not be able to go in and edit each update tonight, but I'll get it done!

Taillow, and at least keep him till he evolves into Swellow, because Swellow is great (Though admittedly 4th gen was nicer to him than 3rd gen, as Guts is harder to trigger).

Poochyena is good for the first half of the game, though yeah, he is something of a wimp later on.

Still though, the Shroomish and Slakoth lines are available early and always useful.

Sounds great. Was already figuring a Slaking and a Breloom, though Breloom might push it once we hit Mossdeep (as I recall, the twins are master trolls, and I'll already have Combusken/Blaziken by that point, amplifying my Fighting weakness).

Not too sure if I'll go for Swellow... Altaria sounds fantastic, but I won't bump into Swablu until just before Meteor Falls.

I'm thinking Barboach is gonna be my water type... if I can remember where to find it. Whiscash is a serviceable substitute for Swampert (Used him in Diamond against E4 to great effect, despite his speed).

I've also been thinking about picking up Ralts, as I've found Gardevoir to be a decent substitute for Alakazam (especially given the fact that you can evolve Kirlia in a ROM, whereas Kadabra requires some trickery). Only problem with Ralts is it will need level grinding to actually get it to learn Confusion.

I'd go with a sold well balanced team. I suggest getting Gyarados as soon as possible (ie Magikarp and grind it). They may have a x4 weakness to Lightning, but i find them to have some powerful early game movies.

Not sure if want on the Gyarados. I've had a Gyarados in EVERY POKEMON GAME I'VE PLAYED EVER. Kinda wanna do something different here. But I will consider it.

Goddammit Thadius I hate it when you make too much sense...

Okay, that's all for tonight, ciao!

Like the Torchik and its name, as I am a denizen of KY.

I suggest a Ralts definitely, and maybe a Breloom. If you don't want a Gyrados, maybe you can use a Crawdaunt, or a Wiscash as you yourself suggested.

I'd recommend a Bagon or Trapinch to at some point. Both of those were always useful in my opinion, and Trapinch is easier to acquire and train than most dragon-types.

Ooh, ooh, this looks very promising. You should try and catch a slakoth and make it usable, because there's lots of fun to be had with a Slaking that can punch through Rhydons.

Also, I get my sprites from The Spriters Resource. Mostly from the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon section. I use Graphicsgale to cut out the individual sprites and add alpha transparency.

Also also, my next update is coming soon I assure you
yes
