No Wi-Fi, man. I appreciate it, but I don't have any legendaries or shinies that I'll be heartbroken to miss.

I've come to the tough decision to restart my copy of White. I kinda had the game hacked in an attempt to score that promotional mon from the game's release (I had pre-ordered and had it Day 1, but thanks to no Wi-Fi access I missed my chance). As a result of the hack I had 999 of pretty much every item in the game, which threw any real challenge right out the window. The hack didn't even work; even after setting my DS's internal clock back I couldn't travel to the island where the promotion mon lurked.

Part 2: The Journey Begins

I decided to grab the middle ball. I don't know why exactly, but the pokemon inside felt like a  scrappy fighter to me. Having made my choice, I ran towards the beleaguered man and began my first battle.


My pokemon was a short little purple guy in boxer shorts. I couldn't help but feel a little underwhelmed, an impression which was heightened by the discovery that he barely knew how to fight. All he could do was body-check his foe, but that was more than enough to drive away the little critter. My first victory!


Now that the "threat" was gone, the man stood up and introduced himself. Turns out this was the famous Professor Birch! I thought for sure that he was joking, but when he led me into the lab - being greeted cordially by the nerdy guy from before - I knew he was telling the truth. When I told him my name was Ing F. (I never said my full last name when I could avoid it) he brightened up instantly. Seems he knew my father, and wanted me to have the little purple guy (which he called a "Tyrogue") as my first pokemon! Birch suggested I give it a nickname, and after a moment I settled on "Champ".



After meeting and naming my new partner, Birch suggested that I find May and ask her to show me the ropes of Pokemon Training. Turns out she ran off to Route 103, so that's where I'm going!


But first I grabbed my Potion from my room. As much as I didn't want to think about it, Champ could get hurt by wild pokemon. I had to keep him safe!


Here we go...

I think you're overthinking the jokes if you think anyone takes them seriously

Damn, that was a lot of thinks....

I live in California, which was never a slavery state, yet you still sometimes get guys with Confederate flags on their bumper stickers

Shame on you, trying to suck people into that particular Black Hole of Wasted Time

Just as a note, I won't be updating again until tomorrow. I have a nasty assignment due before midnight and these updates take time. Yes, even the crappy Paint images
