It sat expectantly on a pocket below the screen, awaiting you. The top, red portion had a green “F” inscribed into it. More blue letters began flaring across the screen.

[center]~You caught Kaz, the Meowth!~[/center] -- [color=9e0b0f]“Congratulations!”[/color] Bruce said, a motivated but exhausted smile directed towards you. He reached into a black satchel hanging from his shoulder and took out 3 Pokédex, one for each of you. [color=9e0b0f]“Point this at any Pokémon, and its information will be downloaded to the database. You can also use it to call anyone you link your Pokédex with. They’ve all been linked to mine, so feel free to call at any time!” [/color] [center][Acquire: Ficus Pokédex][/center] Bruce caught his breath, placing a hand on his chest and turning his head to meet new arrivals with a bright smile. He motioned them over towards the terminals. His face returned to you. [color=9e0b0f] “Now, I’m sure all of you are aware of the conditions: catalogue as many Pokémon as possible for Ficus Technologies. You’ll receive a modest sum for each [i]wild[/i] species recorded. If you manage to record any [i]wild[/i] rare species or anomalies, we’ll send additional money.”[/color] Bruce tapped his chin, looking to the ceiling and muttering to himself. He opened his mouth once again with an extended finger to the sky. [color=9e0b0f]“Oh! And under the terms and conditions, you can’t use technology licensed by other companies. We’ll have to suspend your contract in that case, uh, sorry.”[/color] Bruce paused, squinting his eyes and rubbing the back of his head. [color=9e0b0f]“Eh-Especially The Dogwood Company! Ficus might kill you if she found that out!” [/color]Bruce laughed nervously. [color=9e0b0f]“We’ll send you more technology based on your success down the road, but here’s a Ficus Ball for now."[/color] Bruce handed each of you a normal Poké Ball, with a green F etched into the top portion. [color=9e0b0f]“New polyfiber coating! It uh… makes catches a bit easier.”[/color] Bruce paused, tapping his fingers together. [center][Acquire: Ficus Ball x1][/center] [color=9e0b0f]“Do you have any additional questions?”[/color] He said. [center][i]~After you ask any and all questions (Feel free to ignore this part until then)~[/i][/center] [color=f7976a]“G-G-G-G-Goodbye! Good luck! EUGHCAOO”[/color] The doors slid open, and the sun was still warm upon your face. High in the sky, it towered over the lime green leaves surrounding the village. You were on your way! And just in that instance, when you lifted your foot to start heading towards the route… [color=fff200]“Hey!”[/color] A squeaky voice called to you from the left, where the lines weren’t amassing and mucus didn’t fly about the place. You noticed a trio of young trainers in formation. One in the front had shorts (they were comfortable and easy to wear), and a red cap too large for his brow tucked backwards. The two in the back appeared to be campers. They looked very much alike, save for them being a boy and a girl. They had teal outfits and orange scarves that matched, it was kind of cute in a way. [color=fff200]“We want to battle!”[/color] the Youngster said. [color=00a99d]“Yeah/Yeah!”[/color] The two in the back added at identical times. The Youngster smirked. [color=fff200]“That is, if you think you can beat my Rattata.”[/color] The Poké Ball in his hands enlarged, and it too had a green F inscribed to it. The Youngster revealed his wolfish smile, and his eyebrows rose simultaneously. [color=fff200]“My Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattata,”[/color] he said. The Youngster took his thumb and swiped it against the tip of his nose. [color=fff200]“Heh, so what do you say? How about a team battle, us three vs. you three?”[/color]
