I'm Over Here Doing A Marked Badge Challenge, Aka Playing Pokemon Scarlet, And I Have FIVE SHINIES FROM

㋡🥀

Which Friend would you like to spend your weekend here with .?

You can invite..

Guys it's so hot outside my phone shut of all it's apps saying "Overheating" and refused to work. I currently put it somewhere cold and took a break from weeding the back yard. @inthatmoment-i-was-real

Please, for the love of God, if anyone is willing to trade a Fennekin in violet/scarlet, I want one so badly!

I don't get why it's so hard to find an art style. Like, I see my idol artist ABD illustrates and I'm like, "oh cool! How do you get that?" At least I know for a fact that I'm better than I was 6 years ago, the sketch book I found makes me wanna cry 😢

I was playing Pokemon Scarlet, and I caught a shiny finizen and charcadet, and I went to do the olive roll because I'm doing a shiny badge challenge and-

My game froze. I forgot to save. I lost both of them. I'm gonna die in a hole-

Pokemon Nuzlocke

Day two! Reminder of what the rules are: I can only use female marked pokemon (My starter is the exception, though she is still a girl), to decide what I get, I google a list of pokemon in an area and use a number generator to pick what I have to pick.

I currently have three pokemon and zero badges, and not yet done with the intro. Let's jump right in!

--------Day Two-1/27/24---------

I head towards the school and spot some weirdos in helmets harassing a girl to join their group despite the fact she's said no, more than once, and I step in to give them a taste of their own medicine.

They mention they're members of Team Star, something Debby warned me about, I decide to use Spider Lily (My starter Sprigatito) to wipe the floor with the girl. Nemona pops up and assumes I'm the one who picked the fight, not wrong but ouch, but once she realizes I was standing up to them and that they were team star she gives me a terra orb and I use it to wipe the floor with the boy.

After that Nemona drags me into the school and tells me some of the basics of the building, and the director comes over to ask about our commute. I tell him we had a blast and Nemona tells him about the team star members that were bothering a student, which he mentions rarely goes to class.

I head to my own homeroom and introduce myself. I get asked what my favorite thing about pokemon is, after thinking for a moment, I answer playing with my pokemon. Then, Nemona asks me what I want to do. I.... don't know. My parents sent me here, I didn't have much of a choice, and my sister hates pokemon, so I've never went out of my way to figure out what I actually wanted to do with them...

"I don't actually know..."

Nemona smiles as I say this. "Fair, I get it! The possibilities are endless, right? Who can decide!"

After class I go to the staff room to find Nemona and I see her talking to a woman I've never seen before. I go to Nemona after they end their conversation. "Who was that?" "Piqued your interest, huh? That lady is... Well, they call her La Primera!"

La Primera? Hm.... I think I remember reading about her after I was told I would be sent her. Don't remember what it said though...

"You should try to reach Champion Rank like me!"

I snap back to reality, taking a second to process the suggestion. "I don't know..."

"Aw, but talent like yours deserves to be used! Hear me out... The trainers who reach Champion Rank are the ones who raise their Pokemon really strong. They're pro-tier battlers. Their moves keep crowds absolutely on the edge of their seats! You have to prove yourself to the Pokemon League to officially get the title of Champion."

My mind starts to wander as she speaks. That sounds rather fun... Would it be worth it? Now that I think about it... Mom and Dad wanted me to build a positive relationship with Pokemon...

"Alright, I'll do it."

"Perfect! Here, let me put the locations of the gyms on your phone map! Now that that's delt with, It's your lunch period, you should get going! See you!" She runs off, leaving me in the staff room, and I head to the Cafeteria.

I see Arven standing at the food bar, and I decide to walk over and say hi. He turns to me and smiles.

"Oh, hey. So we meet again! You remember me, right?"

"I wouldn't have come over to say hi if I didn't, haha!"

"Heh, fair. Your name was Orion, right?"

"Yep! How'd you know?"

"Whole school seems to be talking about you. The new kid who showed up with the president of the student council." That's not that big of a deal though... Eh. No harm no foul.

"I normally don't bother showing up for class, but I came all the way to school today just to talk with you-our new celebrity."

I chuckle a little as he says this. "Celebrity is a strong word. What did you want to talk to me about?"

"I want you to help me make my dream a reality, If you want to." I notice he looks nervous as he asks me... He seems... Desperate.

"What do you need me to do?"

"Straight to the point, huh? For context, I love to cook, and I read a book talking about recipes that can heal pokemon and make them feel better. It talks about something called Herba Mystica, special herbs that heals pokemon as soon as it's eaten! There are five types based on what i've read, and they're only found in Paldea-and rare to boot! But the book says they're guarded by Titan Pokemon, meaning it'll be pretty tough to even grab a few sprigs. What I need you to do is help me fight them, and get the Herba Mystica."

I think about it for a second. A rare herb that heals pokemon? Maybe I could send a sample to my parents so they could do some testing on it, and maybe my mom could try to make a garden with it and use it in her restaurant... And if Arven is desperate to ask a stranger to help....

"If I can have a small sample of the herbs to send home, I'll help with no strings attached."

"Wait-I want you to think it over first! Here, let me mark the locations on your map app if you do end up agreeing after thinking it over some more. Here, take this as a prize for listening." He hands me a bag of Stardust, surprising me a little. He then runs off yelling to me over his shoulder.

"Give it some thought! Please!"

I chuckle to myself as I watch him leave. I have a feeling we're gonna be really good friends.

After I eat my lunch I go to leave the Cafeteria, before my phone starts to go crazy, answering a call by itself.

"...This is Orion, correct? I hacked your smartphone so I could talk to you. Hope you don't mind."

I growl under my breath, obviously unhappy to have my phone hacked, who wouldn't?

"Make it quick before I report this, Who are you?"

"Very well. My name is Cassiopeia. And I hear you're a trainer with serious potential. If that description is accurate, there's something I'd like to ask of you. Tell me, Orion... You know about Team Star, right?"

"Something tells me you already know the answer to that question, Cassiopeia."

"That would be correct. To not test your already short patience, I've come up with a plan to take them down and force the to disbaned for good. I call it...Operation Starfall! And I want you to be apart of it.

"I'll think it over, but I'm not making any promises."

"That's fine by me." With that the call ends. The idea someone hacked my phone fills me with anxiety. The director suddenly walks up to me.

"Ah, Miss Orion. Please do try to keep your voice down if you're making calls within the school, won't you?" My face flushes red with embarasment, I didn't realize I was being so loud.

"Of course, sir..."

"You don't want anyone else to over hearing any personal information, after all. Honestly... There are so many things we need to be careful about in this day and age. On you go, then, young lady." I nod, before rushing off to class. Too much has happened in one day already, and I don't want to add being tardy to that list.

-----

Later in the day I'm walking in the main hall, looking for a specific book when I hear the speakers turn on, asking me to go to the Directors office. I do so begrudgingly, expecting to have done something wrong, but in reality, Professor Sada wanted to have a video chat with me, asking me to take care of Dr.Pepper(the Koraidon).

I obviously say yes and then Nemona barges in and drags me towards my new dorm, where I spend the next few months, and before long, it's time for the annual treasure hunt.

I head towards the center of Messagoza, Nemona and Arven arguing about who I'm going to help. Cassiopeia hacks my phone again to mark Team Star locations on my Map App, and tells them I can do what ever I want which gets them to stop fighting.

Dr.Pepper lets me ride them and the intro to the game has officially ended.

I go through the west gate and open up the list of pokemon in the area and roll the dice, getting..... Smoliv! Bit of a set back with already having a grass type, but I've never gotten one, so it should be fun!

I'll end it here for today, thank you for reading this far. Have a lovely day, until the next day~!
