Last time on ILS's Crystal Reader's Input Run: Prologue!
***
Let's go with Kris. First time I ever play as a girl, so let's go with that. I find it funny that some of the other options are Amanda and Juana; the first is my sister's name, the second is a ridiculous pseudonym she uses when she's mucking around.
Our room. Lovely little room, isn't it? Let's check the PC and see if we get a free Potion~
D:
Here is our madre. She's talking to this lady who upon further inquiry is the mother of some girl who doesn't want to work with Elm. We've also discovered she thinks lowly of Kris, needing to state the fact that she is indeed visiting our house.
[Elm, was looking for you.]
Our summons! We must head over there immediately!
There's... a shop? Where? Overseas? Does the bike shop have technology specialists or something?
With that, we are handed our communication device and we trek into the outdoors!
Why tha-
*sniffles* Yes...
Be strong, Kris. Be strong.
!! Suspicious activity near the lab!
[Lab...]
Yes, it is. If you want his autograph, just go right on in. People don't visit much.
Does this need to be answered?
How rude! If you keep dropkicking ladies, the only date you'll get is with Mrs. Rosie Palms. *waves finger*
To escape this horrible, Kris-hating world we enter Elm's lab. But before that, let's show Aurora to the world!
Beautiful, ain't she? Sadly, we can't get her until we beat Falkner, I think. This is the Gold file from which I'll get the unobtainables that are not Chikorita or Kanto unobtainables.
[to present at a conference.]
Is Elm a college student or something? He could very well be.
Because science, he wants us to help out with his thesis. Probably without giving credit.
Surprise, surprise! Who is it?
We are told of this mystifying man who is a great discoverer of things.
Is... is he the equivalent of the
Ancient Aliens guy in the Pokéverse?
We are then promptly asked to be their ambassador. Without any other choice, Kris accepts, relieved that Elm did not call her for...
other things.
As payment, Kris is offered a Pokémon.
I'm using Chikorita in HeartGold, and Totodile in Gold, so this is the only other choice.
\o/ She's a girl! I find it cute that the starters are holding a Berry. That shouldn't have been removed.
Kris gets Elm's number, hopefully for nothing creepy, and we part on our journey!
;-;
I hope it is, Joey. You are mildly inconveniencing me.
We arrive at Mr. Pokémon's house. We shouldn't worry about him; he's probably loaded since he can spend his day making up conspiracy theories.
And he gives us the
Togepi Mystery Egg! Great!
He heard Elm sent me... So he
stayed. *shivers* Creepy much, Oak?
I am
not a delivery girl, and never will be, unless you offer some type of bribe or gift.
...This will do.
We then promptly exit the hive of creepiness!
NO ONE IS TURNING INTO ESTEBAN UNDER MY WATCH, ELM! I WILL HELP YOU!
Use your words, Elm.
I'll be right there, sheesh. Calm down, you are a grown man with a wife and a child, for Pete's sake.
You.
Have you no manners? Not even Rosie Palms wants you now...
En garde!
That was over quickly.
Did the person at the Department of Wherever-they-hand-out-birth-certificates have a seizure when they were typing your name?
You better, bitch. Or I'll sic her on you.
Heard? Jesus, Elm, you didn't even call the Police?
Wait a second... Could it be Seizure Boy?
Well, not exactly...
Great.
What should our rival be called?
Next up on CRI: Youngster Joey and the road to Violet City!
