Ch. 1: The Road to Riches
« on: April 12, 2013, 11:43:01 PM »
Vroooooooom~!

Over the crest of the hill you see two young (16?  17?) year olds drive over on what look like bikes with motors.  they look somewhat clunky, but...  they are technically motor bikes.

The two teens pull up in front of you and do a poor job of blocking the path with their small bikes. 

One of them is a punk rock looking male with a pastel pink mohawk and a leather jacket studded with (obviously) fake metal spikes.  He's wearing black leather gloves and jeans that look like they have been unfashionably ripped.

The female of the group has similarly pastel pink long hair that goes down her back.  It looks like it got tangled from being wind-swept though. 

"Hey!" the male says

"You!"  the female says

"We challenge you to a pokemon battle!  Two on Two!"

"Yeah, that last guy wasn't so hot." The guy says

"Took him out in one shot."  The girl says

"So, do you think you can win?  Let the games begin!" they say in unison.

I take a step backwards and look at Period.  I hope she understands rhyming.  She seems good with words, so maybe she'll catch on.

"You challenge us to this Pokémon fight..."

I look at Period imploringly.
“Hast thou not felt in forest gloom, as gloaming falls on dark-some dells, when comes a whisper, hum and hiss; savage growling sounds a-near, dazzling flashes around thee flicker, whirring waxes and fills thine ears: has thou not felt then grisly horrors that grip thee and hold thee?”

Biker dude:  "Hah, Get this Sis, they're ryming."

Biker chick:  "They've got awful timing."

Both:  "We can hear the victory bell chiming!"

They deploy two pokemon at once:

You suddenly become excruciatingly aware of why their hair is dyed pastel pink.

Two adorably cute pink pokemon stand before you, READY TO SCREW UP YOUR DAY.

Reaching into my bag, I pull out one of my newly occupied Pokéballs.  Taking a moment to try to come up with an easy rhyme that Period could pick up on--and failing--I throw the ball silently.

Trapinch, not realizing that it's rhyming time, lets out a happy cry as it enters the battlefield.

Sis: "Jiggly, Nooooo!"  She looks downtrodden.  "I'm sorry Brodrick, I guess that wasn't very punk-rock of me...  Jiggly Return!"

Bro looks at her, as if he's just been handed a difficult challenge. 

Bro:  "Lizzy, woah!"  All of the sudden.  "I can pull this off, don't worry... C'mon Cleffy, it's your turn!"

The Clefairy rushes up to Theodore and punches with its tiny fist.
