Hmm. Rock-type Pokemon. Good thing she loves Grass-types so much. She will pop into the Pokecenter, and then wander around the Pewter City outskirts of Viridian Forest looking for Pokemon to fight until Basauw and Beedle are too tired or it's dinner, whichever comes first. 

Permalink

They do both get worn out before dinnertime, but she can always heal them and go back out again if she wants.

Permalink

Healing break for the Pokemon, snack break for the human, and then: wallop those wild Pokemon! Wallop them good!

Permalink

Both of her Pokemon are noticeably stronger by dinnertime! And Basauw has learned a new move; he can throw seeds out of his bulb that sap an opposing Pokemon's energy while making him stronger. 

Permalink

Beedle, meanwhile, figures out how to spin a cocoon and does so. Now it's a Kakuna!

Permalink

Good Pokemon? No. Best Pokemon. She will geeeeently pat Beedle, because she can't remember how Kakunas work. Do they even need to eat? Oh, wait, she has a Pokedex. Pokedex: do Kakunas eat?

Humans and Bulbasaurs definitely eat, though, so her and Basauw are definitely having a dinner, over which she tries her best to pronounce the proper name of Basauw's new move. The closest she's managing to get is "Weech Seed", which sounds like she's five but is, you know, comprehensible.

Permalink

Kakunas don't need to eat, but do need to drink, which consists of dipping some part of themselves in water and absorbing it through their tough-yet-flexible shells.

Basauw figures out what "weech seed" means pretty quickly. He doesn't seem to have any opinion on her pronunciation, given that he can only produce about 7 phonemes himself.

Permalink

Good boy. Best Bulbasaur. Pats, scritches, pets, etcetera. Beedle will get some water, and once everybody's done with their dinner it is once more bedtime. (update to her mom: basauw learned leech seed, and beedle's a kakuna now! i kinda miss your cooking, but i'm having fun.)

Morning: food, and then more fights. Wild Pokemon or trainers, she'll go for either right now.

Permalink

She can get some of both! Viridian forest has the usual options including a couple of bug-focussed trainers; the town has a hyperactive boy with a Pidgey and a Squirtle.

Permalink

She and hyperactive boy can fight, and then she'll tromp around Viridian Forest again. Tromp tromp.

Permalink

She scrapes out a win over hyperactive boy and gets a whole P$30 for it. In the forest, she runs into another trainer, who does not want to battle right now because he is lost.

Permalink

(P$167!)

Hmmm! Maybe she can help. Taptap. "Where are you trying to get to?"

Permalink

"Pewter City. I came from there, but I lost track of my turns and don't remember how to get back."

Permalink

She bounces excitedly and takes a moment to remember to actually reply. "I remember my turns! This way."

Lead lead lead.

Permalink

Eventually the trees thin out and they can see the city. "Awesome, thank you!" says the formerly lost kid. He gives her a chocolate bar as a thank-you present and scurries off to go heal.

Permalink

Chocolate! She won't say no to chocolate. Hey Pokedex, she can't remember, is chocolate safe for Bulbasaurs? And if it is, does Basauw want some?

However that goes, she will tromp around the forest some more. When her Pokemon are tired out she decides it's time for a break. An art break.

She has six big sticks of chalk in her bag, primary and secondary colors. There are sidewalks and streets that could use pretty pictures. Does Basauw care to be a model for an artistic ten-year-old's chalk drawings?

Permalink

Most Pokemon can eat most human foods, but they like foods designed for Pokemon more. Basauw is kind of take-it-or-leave-it on chocolate. He doesn't mind being a model, though, at least if she doesn't mind him wandering around the sidewalk a bit.

Permalink

Sure, he can wander, she's mooned over pictures of the Bulbasaur line enough to draw a recognizable one from memory.

Scribblescribblescribble. Pokemon all over the sidewalk! She blends her six colors to get more than what she packed, but these definitely aren't true-to-life. Recognizable, though, yes. Scribblescribblescribblescribble, move aside for pedestrians, fill up her working space and move somewhere else, scribblescribble, yaaaaaay art. Almost entirely Pokemon she's seen on her journey so far, but she draws a passable Venusaur (about half-scale) and scribbles Best Pokemon Ever above it.

And now her hands and pants and her face where she got an itch are covered in chalk. Good thing her mom reminded her to pack changes of clothes, because she totally would have forgotten and gotten all gross otherwise. And each outfit's in this neat tube held together by her socks, so they hardly take up any space at all. Off she pops to look less like a crazy artist.

Permalink

People take pictures of her pictures! How nice that the next generation are so enthusiastic about Pokemon/art/beautifying the towns they pass through.

Permalink

Yaaaaay people who aren't from the teeny town she grew up in like her art!

Hmmmm. Is it food o'clock? It's probably food o'clock, she spent a while drawing. Food time.

Permalink

The Pokemon center cafeteria apparently likes to mix it up a bit; they have pizza among their menu options.

Permalink

Sure, she's not a picky eater. Pizza, om nom nom. And then back to training up her Pokemon, because beating gyms is a tangible marker of her and their progress.

...

Actually, you know what, she'll try the gym now instead of tomorrow. She's not totally sure Basauw and Beedle will win, but they can sure try. Onward, to battle!

Permalink

She has type advantage, and she's been training hard. If she heals between battles, she can take out both the staff member and the gym leader and earn her very own Boulderbadge! (And P$1386.)

Permalink

She is a smart ten-year-old with not too much "I must do this In One Go" stubbornness, so she will heal her Pokemon in between battles.

First gym badge, get!!!!! (And up to P$1553!)

She only bonks her shins on a decorative rock once on her gleeful way out of the gym, and barely even stumbles. Now she's going to dance, which primarily consists of flapping really hard and spinning around until she gets dizzy. Wheeeee now the world's all spinny, she will sit down (on a bench or low wall or something if one's easily available, but the ground exists too) and hug Basauw and giggle madly.

Basauw is delighted about winning and delighted that his trainer is happy!
