victory_road | Mission 1 [Video; Route 29]

[As the video starts, you can see a 12-years-old boy wearing a blue jacket, yellow long-sleeved shirt, blue pants, and yellow sneakers walking down the road on Route 29. However, he is not alone as a lavender bat-like Pokemon perches on his head while he stares at the camera for a few seconds before speaking up.]

So hi? I'm new here and I'm just testing out this PokeGear thing. Nothing's wrong with it so far and...

[Before he can say anything, his Pokemon quickly appeared on the screen and greeted on camera before he pushes him away.]

Hey, Noise! Knock it off! I'm talking here!

[He tries to push his Noibat away from the screen, which thankfully, gets an idea and goes off-screen.]

As I was saying, I think I understand that I'm trapped in another world filled with these Pokemon creatures and I'm supposed to capture and train them?! I can't believe this!! It's... It's...

[At first, you seemed to see him about to blow a casket, which is obvious for a young kid like him being kidnapped into another world without any warning. But instead, he gives out a big grin, causing his Noibat to fly off from his head in shock.]

IT'S COMPLETELY AWESOME!!! I can't believe I get to train these cool and strong Pokemon monsters!

[Well, he got grounded and was forced opt-out on a WOOHP mission beforehand, so it is obvious for him to react this way. Even he doesn't have any WOOHP gadgets anymore, he doesn't care because of his current situation.]

Not only that, my wish of having a pet came true!

[Noise then screeched in agreement, happy that his new trainer likes him.]

Well, I don't know what to do next, but I bet it's going to be amazing! Come on, Noise!

[Without even saying goodbye, he turns off the video before he takes off with his new partner. Of course, if you like, you can see running on the road of Route 29, grinning on what he can expect in this new world.]

There's also the added bonus of travelling all over the region if you want too, to find and train stronger Pokemon.

Really? Are there any rewards to having some stronger Pokemon?

With enough Pokemon trained to a strong enough level, you can challenge the gyms one by one, for badges. And eventually challenge the Elite Four.

Gyms? Don't tell me I have to give my Pokemon a workout to get those badges.

[P.E. is one thing, but he doesn't want to share that horror to Noise.]

It's not that kind of Gym. A Pokemon League Gym is a battle arena, where you challenge one of the top trainers in the region for a Badge, a sort of mark that allows you to use new abilities once you earn it with your Pokemon, via Teaching Machines or TMs, or even Hidden Machines HMs.

Also, if you don't challenge the gyms and keep battling, eventually your Pokemon might become disobedient after a certain level because you haven't earned the right.

So, let me get this straight. If I trained my Pokemon and try to beat these gyms for eight badges, any strong Pokemon will obey me and get those new abilities for them as well?

[It's not what he is expecting from a gym, but he'll take it!]

Sign me up!

Pretty much. It's procedural. Your first stop in Johto is Faulkner in Violet City, and the first stop in Kanto is Brock in Pewter City. I've heard people tend to challenge either or but you gotta commit to a route first.

I'm just exploring to be honest.

Well, it says in my PokeGear that I'm in this Johto region right now, so I should aim for Violet City, right?

[Besides, he needs to adapt to his new surroundings before he can even move to another region she mentioned.]

That's the usual direction people go, so I would definitely aim for Violet City. You'll need more than your first partner Pokemon to take on the gym though.

Well, a girl named Mabel did mention that I'm able to capture some more with my Poke Balls. But what does the gym in that city looked like?

[More importantly, how can he try to make his Noibat behave even in battle? Right now, he's somehow sleeping on his head, bored at the conversation right now.]

I honestly don't know, but there'll be a marking on the front of the Gym. It's always a huge building too. Sorry, I'm not exactly challenging gyms so I couldn't honestly tell.

[Yayoi is a bit useless, considering she's just doing a tour of the region without battling heavily.]

[Correcting her might not be a good idea after all since he learns that she's not the type to battle them.]

I get the picture. I'll just find out for myself what kind of Pokemon they have there.

Yeah. You'll just have to find out for yourself. Everyone else knows what kind of gyms there are here as well, I'm just a little behind.

That's okay. It won't be fun if I already know what it is, right?

[He then finally notices his Noibat nodding off, which he tried to shook him awake.]

That's true. I know the gyms are themed after all.

Oh, you have a Noibat? It's nocturnal, so it'll snooze during the day.

[As she says this, Noise wouldn't even wake up despite him shaking the little bat.]

Seriously?! Oh man, how do I even get some Pokemon with Noise snoozing around?

You might have to go in the evening. You can find a lot of different Pokemon during the different times of day.

Okay, if it means letting Noise snooze all day.

[He even wonders why in a world he was given a Pokemon who can only stay awake at night.]

You might be able to get him or her to battle during the day, it would probably take training though.

Really? Any tips for it?

I would suggest waking it gently earlier and earlier every day, swap its sleeping schedule around gently. And then practice earlier in the day.

[It might not be a good thing for Tony as well, considering he is the last Clark to wake up every morning.]

It's better than nothing. Thanks, Ms...

Yeah, it works out if you're trying. And it's Yayoi Kise. Nice to meet you.

I'm Tony Clark and thanks again for the advice, Ms. Kise.
