Silly me!

Professor: Put away your dream traveling books while your daughters distract Sid. You don't want him to suspect anything.

[Zaffa]

Stuff: Happen.

Really though, just posting so I can keep track of this. Great art, and it's nice to have a Pokeadventure that doesn't devolve into plotless mayhem in the first few pages.

[starburst98]

Have you heard of the pokemon Gardevoir? I heard that it feels the emotions of its trainer, and grows with them.

this makes me think we are getting a ralts. if we don't then it's a VERY odd thing to have just randomly in there.

If nothing else it's probably going to be our first battle when we have a free ball.

[Hecthur]

Fire.

I was gonna go for fire.

'Course you were. Fire's the best.
I disagree. It's got several weaknesses to common offensive types, and fire Pokemon generally don't have the defenses to counter them.
There's not a best type. All types have their uses! Fire is pretty neat, though.
All I'm hearin' is "Gypsum, we're too scared to throw down."

Take it outside, girls. Your trainer cards turned out pretty good, I think. Are you all- Oh, hey. Uh, Sid, right? You here to see everyone off?

Uh, not exactly.
Of course he isn't. He barely knows us.
That's not what I...
Sid wanted to start training today! He didn't know we were getting all the starters. Are there any other Pokemon we can give him?

Oh! Sid, I'm so sorry. I don't have any other Pokemon besides the ones I'm using for research, and I can't spare those.
I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Is there anything I can do?
Hm. I suppose your best bet is to head to Macana Village and requisition another starter Pokemon from the breeders there. It might still take them a while, but at least it won't take a whole year.
We were headed that way anyway! You could come with us.
Can I just catch one outside town?
You could, and most trainers do. But they usually have someone to help them, and the breeders in Macana pick out good, strong Pokemon. Encountering Pokemon in the wild when you don't have any to defend yourself can be dangerous, and you won't be as sure about their quality. It might make a quick fix, but I really would recommend that you get a proper starter. I can fill out the paperwork for you, if you'd like. I've got the forms. Which one did you want, kid?
Fire, obviously.
He can answer for himself, Gypsum.
No, she's right. I was going for fire.
Okay. But getting from Alatl Town to Macana is dangerous...

Don't worry. I got your back. Kid.

[Asmodemus]

Opal looks like she could use some sleep in that last panel.

> "Glad to hear it." or something like that.

> Thankfully accept the professor's offer to fill out paperwork unless that's already covered by the one sentence you said about pokemon type.

[tagonizer]

> Sloppy makeouts!

[Gustave]

>Be Professor Hemlock.
Next few updates: Be about filling out forms, red tape, and the administrative process of the pokemon world.

[Fruckert]

> Depart epically

[Zaffa]

Thankfully accept paperwork nonsense, then depart with the girls. Be attacked by the weakest Pokemon imaginable the second your set foot in grass.

[zebtrestalala]

Get totally pwned by a Bidoof or this region's equivalent of it once you step foot in the grass.

OR

Have an epic wrestling match with said Bidoof equivalent

[Tseralith]

Go home and tell your parents you're going to run away to Macana Village with three girls

[Akumu]

Go home and tell your parents you're going to run away to Macana Village with three girls

How insensitive! He doesn't have a father at home.

[Zatch]

>Be weirded out by everyone's creepy ghost pupils

Silly Danfish, those aren't "ghost pupils", that's BYAKUGAN!

[Eversist]

>Have all the paperwork stuff happen off screen, shove it in your backpack, thank the Professor profusely, and gtfo of dodge.

Maybe leave your mom a note or something.

You're right, I kinda skimped on the pupils. It was super late when I posted this. Fixed 'em, kinda.
