Gene Eric - Adventure Thread (Kanto)

Generic Gene Eric would of course take the traditional route! A Pallet Town start! Though, before doing anything else, she took the new Pichu she nabbed because she woke up too late to get any of the other starters, in standard journey-starting fashion, and went in reverse.

Generic, she may be. Stupid, she was not. That first gym was a ground type, and she wasn't going to just cross her fingers and hope that she got a grass type before then or, more typically, that the sprinkler system malfunctions and causes a glitch. No, stuck with this tiny electric rat, she was going to try her darndest to find some sort of water type, so to the beach just south of Pallet Town she went.

That isn't to say, she didn't love her Pichu. Already, even though she's only had Pichu for less than half a day, but if something happened to him (her? I forget the gender I gave the thing), she would kill everyone in this room and then herself.

((EDIT: And oh yes. Record Blue and any of the aides she met in the lab to archive once she takes an extended rest.)

Emiko emits some sort of strangled noise at being called Tater Tot again before storming off; looking for all the world like a child throwing a tantrum.

Turns out that, in spite of her child-like size (and personality), she is quite athletic. She's already far ahead without even moving faster than a power-walk. Likely she hopes to never see Gene again, or at least to minimize the chance of future interactions by putting distance between them.

Seems that Gene is lucky to have booked a room when she did, as not five minutes later, she sees a veritable flood of newbie trainers all coming in looking for free room and board. (Hotels exist, but trainers stay for free at Pokemon Centers)

Gene sleeps at the center and wakes up bright and early the next day.

While still bummed by her good luck the prior day and then her subsequent bad luck, she puts it behind her with breakfast. On the plus side, her Birthday showed that it was noone's Birthday Cake. She should be proud!

Then, with fully healed Pokemon, she went about her daily training. She chose 6 pokemon to exp train, but regular trained all of her pokemon.
Pichu, Hoppip, 2 Totodiles, and 2 Sandiles trained.

She also took some time during her morning to archive all of the records she had previously made, including the records she made right then and there of each of her Pokemon and their moves.

Following that, she decided she'd spend the day in Viridian City before braving the forest ahead. Sightsee a bit and maybe even gather some information about what to expect in the forest nowadays.

Jean decided to start by asking around in the Pokemon Center. She looked for a random trainer who looked like they'd be open to talking.

Gene peruses the app, searching casually just to get used to it for the moment. Perhaps surprisingly, she's not searching by Pokemon, and foregoes the option after a blink. She's got Pokemon she wants to catch, certainly, but she's also not picky. She'll catch whatever she comes across. To her, what was more important was just crossing the forest safely. Therefore, rather than species, she tries to find where she can access the Pokemon Ranger reports by their level of threat/importance.

Although, halfway through her search, she decides she's going to enjoy her life a little. She pauses so that she can walk outside and find a nice place to sit in the city (after booking her room for the night, of course). Better to experience a little bit of Viridian City out there while searching than remaining stuck inside the same old Pokemon Center.

She finds a little cafe to sit at and, after ordering a cup of tea and a small pastry for breakfast, relaxes at an outside table while searching and eating.

Seems like everything was alright. Gene confirms to herself her plans for the next day.

With that out of the way, she moves onto enjoying the city today.

Gene moves on as requested.

She walks out of the Pokemon Center to explore the city some more. This time, she decides on a specific destination: the Viridian City Gym. She's not sure what, if anything, she can do there. However, since she was in the city, she may as well visit it once. Maybe she'll even be lucky enough to spectate a battle.

How unfortunate. Gene turns around from the gym and starts mapping out her route, busses and all, the next point of interest in this city. She had heard about its Dance Academy. Although, the question of if there was anything to do there was another of its own. Amidst her [insert name of search engine giant] mapping of a route, she also checked the academy's website, if they had one, to see if they had any programs she could watch today.
