Lewis's new Pokesim.

Anticipation...

Thats how every journey begins, with excitement and high hopes. For me it was like another day. I'd lived my life to expectations, expecting things that would never come. I never came face to face with reality, and the way things were in my eyes; were that of a dream. See I'm a pretty dull and blank-minded person, never broadened my horizons. I tried to hard to be my own person but it never works in the long run.

I started my treacherous journey, within Sinnoh. And to be honest, that region is just like me in ways! I like places that don't have much effort put into them, places that are naturally formed. My favourite town was Hearthoma. One of the reasons why is because it formed so many memorable moments for me. One of them being my first time taking Fantina's place in the gym whilst she went to Johto for a few months. And in them few months, I was undefeated. No one received a badge at all. But thats probably because I'm a strong willed battler. My team consisted of a Dusknoir, Spiritomb and a Haunter. That wasn't just the only gym I worked in. I've worked at a gym in practically every other region.

But enough about all that.

This diary will go through my quest that I challenged myself with, just to become one of the top trainers. I have had some good times, and some rough times (which you will see throughout the story). This is my full life Pokemon experience. And I hope you enjoy!

Nice entry.

So is this journal thing like an autobiography that your character [older now probably retired] is writing to talk about his past?

It just sorta seemed that way.

Nice that your character was a gym leader plenty of times.

I take it you love Ghost types the most?

Just update us when you do more.

The Sinnoh Start

I started off my journey like everyone else previously. Full of excitement and high hopes! I woke up that day at about seven in the morning, freshened up and got dressed; ran downstairs and had breakfast. I had a bacon sandwich and I think I had a glass of milk? Yeah a glass of milk it was, can't go wrong with a glass of milk before what would be the longest part of my life. So after I'd finished getting ready and having breakfast and all that jazz, it was about eight o'clock. So I grabbed my bag, said my goodbyes and I was out of that door quicker than you can say potato.

As soon as a got outside my house, my smile turned upside down straight away. Because of the dreadful weather. I'd only expected it to be sunny, one expectation shattered. So what I had to do is run to Professor Rowan's and receive my first pokemon! I had it all planned within my head, I was to pick Chimchar, the fire monkey Pokemon. So I ran through the grass, trying harder to push myself to get out of the rain. I lived in Jublife city, so you can imagine on a daily basis how much bustle and comotion went on in that city. So yeah, running down to Sandgem wasn't that long.

After a bit, I arrived in Sandgem Town; filled to the brim with excitement! I scurried straight over to Professor Rowans lab. Knocked on the door and he opened it and told me to come in. He told me to walk with him and asked me what type of Pokemon I was after. To which I replied 'Fire, for the burning passion I have for Pokemon!'. He handed me over a Pokedex and five Pokeballs before he gave me my first Pokemon. I thanked him, and then he looked at me puzzled and said; 'Theres no starter Pokemon left, I'm very sorry.' My heart sunk, all this excitement just for another big letdown. By now, I'd started to realize that everything you expect, is always a letdown. But then Rowan spoke again saying; 'Ahh don't leave just yet, there's one more Pokemon left. He picked the ball up and threw it in the air. And out came a little grass Pokemon. I grabbed my Pokedex for some information on the little guy;

Budew- The bud Pokemon; Over the winter, it closes its bud and endures the cold. In spring, the bud opens and releases pollen.

Wow, I was flabbergasted. I returned the Pokemon to her ball. And thanked the Professor. I was quite upset about having to us Budew instead of my favourite Chimchar. So I said my goodbyes and head out to start my journey.

[King Silva]

That sucks you didn't get your starter.

Budew is a great grass pokemon though.

Roserade is one of the best grass pokemon imo at least.

Echoing what Silva said, sucks you didn't get Chimchar, one of my personal favorite Fire types. However, if used right, Budew can work.
