I awoke, expecting today to be a standard day: helping out around the house, helping Elm with his research. You know, the usual day. As it turns out, however, I couldn't have been more wrong.

I was awoken to a strange request by Elm; to obtain an egg from Mr. Pokémon. The reason why I thought this a strange request was two fold - one, I'd been given one of Professor Elm's starter Pokémon, incredibly rare to find, he gives these to almost no one. Second, Pokémon Eggs are a dime a dozen. I couldn't fathom why Professor Elm found it so important that he get this Egg in particular. However, after obtaining the Pokémon Elm had prepared for me, I left, towards Mr. Pokémon's house.

But, before we continue, I feel I should describe the Pokémon I'd obtained. It was a blue crocodile Pokémon; a Totodile named Jakob, to be more specific. He was, for lack of a better word, very impatient, and rather defiant. As a result, it often takes risks it doesn't need to, and puts itself in harm's way. I hope that doesn't come back to bite him later....

But anyways, after taking my leave of Professor Elm, I started to head towards the exit of New Bark Town, only to take notice of someone staring in the window of Professor Elm's lab. It was a young boy with red hair, roughly the same age as I. As I approached him, however, he shoo'd me away, and went back to staring into the lab. I decided to think nothing of it, and left him to his own devices. Jakob and I then left towards Cherrygrove City, an intersection on the way to Mr. Pokémon's house.

On the way to Cherrygrove City, Jakob and I encountered some wild Pokémon. I insisted that he leave them alone, but he refused; and honestly, even if he hadn't refused, they would have attacked anyways; wild Pokémon are very untrusting and violent towards humans. During the battles, Jakob showed just how powerful he was, leaving fresh claw marks in many of the walkways and trees, and generally wiping the floor with all of the other Pokémon. However, he also showed that despite this power, he wasn't close to his maximum potential, learning a few new tricks in terms of combat abilities. Namely, the ability to fire pressurized water at the enemy.

When we reached Cherrygrove, an old man who was far too excited to see us decided to give us a tour of the town. I'm not quite sure why, as it's a very small and easy to navigate town, but I digress. At the end of his "tour," he did give me a pair of new shoes, which was neat. My old pair were falling apart right under me.

Whilst in Cherrygrove, Jakob and I decided to rest up, and stock up on supplies some, before heading out towards Mr. Pokémon's house. We'd only reached 1/3 of the way there, after all, and were already somewhat tired from our travels.

Leaving Cherrygrove, it turns out, was a much simpler task than leaving New Bark Town; no red haired kids to stop us here. After travels that were much the same as those between New Bark and Cherrygrove (although, with Jakob's new trick, much easier), we finally reached a house. Went inside and... saw an elderly lady, who then informed us that she was not Mr. Pokémon (quite clear to me, but oh well). I got a bag to hold some Apricots, at least, whatever those are. Anyways, I left, and traveled even further north.

After some time walking (am I glad for these new shoes), we came across another house in the middle of the wilderness, with the name Mr. Pokémon written on it. I figured this must be the place, and went inside, to find an old man, yet again too excited to see me. After talking with him for a minute, I found out he is not Mr. Pokémon, but instead, is an old friend of his, named Professor Oak. Anyways, he handed me a device known as a Pokédex, telling me it would be useful, and informed Mr. Pokémon of my arrival.The two of them discussed things for a while, and handed me the Pokémon Egg.

Just then, I got an urgent call from Professor Elm: Someone had broken into the lab! Jakob and I, hearing this, rushed towards New Bark Town, running through essentially every wild Pokémon that got in the way. We finally reached Cherrygrove, and although we were in a rush, we decided to heal up anyways, because we figured, we wouldn't be of much use when we got there if we were injured.

Finally, after our injuries were healed, we headed towards the exit... only to find the red haired boy staring at us, Pokeball in hand. Now, what did he want with us, I wondered....
