>>11837568It's just that to you, adventuring throughout this tedious region is too long and boring. The last time the problem was that there was too much water, NOW THERE'S TOO MUCH LAND! All those other guys you never heard of finished their journeys, or at least some. At least that third fellow made it like halfway before switching elsewhere.
Damn, Team Galactic is going to be damn well pleased when they find that no hero is coming to stop them.
What's the point anyways? Everyone overlooks you anyhow. Since when does anyone say, "HEY! REMEMBER LUCAS?"
No one does. It's always....it's always.....who is it always?
You turn to Turtwig and Pachirisu, your starter Pokemon and first caught wild Pokemon respectively, "Where did I ever go wrong in life, guys? I always wanted to be a trainer as a little kid, but now that I'm of age, I never even managed to step out of anywhere past Sandgem Town. Man, I really am a failure..."
"Turt...turtwig..." says Turtwig as he nuzzles your face.
"Pachi, pachirisu.." Pachirisu joins in as well.
It's not all bad though. You're one thing.
You're one of the many assistants to Professor Rowan, the professor of the Sinnoh region! He's the whole reason why you have Turtwig in the first place. He was generous enough to give some of his workers starter Pokemon even though they had no plans of venturing out of town. God, what a glorious man he is.
You stand up and brush the grass bits off your pants, "Well....No us crying anymore. Nobody bothers to listen anyhow."
>Head where?A) You's got a heavy shift on your hands, mister. To Professor Rowan's laboratory!
B) Go see your super duper best friend forever, Barry! (Because every guy has one, duh.)
