Chapter 5: Diamond
Rules for this game are as follows:
Gen 4 is my favorite generation, though of course DP isn't why. still though, i think this game gets more hate than it deserves; it's flawed but not unplayable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My time in France is at an end; it's time to go back to Japan. I leave my pokemon in Matiere's care and head for the airport, where i share a tearful goodbye with Sana and everyone else. I hope we'll see each other again sometime.
Our house in Littleroot has unfortunately sustained damage from heavy rainfalls while we were gone, so we cannot move back to Kyushu - sorry, "Hoenn". Instead, my mom found a place to stay in the north of Japan, in Hokkaido - sorry, "Sinnoh". As we're moving in, i run into the neighboring kid, a guy named Michael. Guy's a bit hyperactive, but i'm sure we can be good friends.
Anyway, the next day, i watch a news broadcast about a red gyarados in the lake of rage. I then head downstairs and my mom informs me that Michael was looking for me. So i head over to his house and bump into him. He wants to see if there's something rare like the red gyarados in the nearby lake. So we head there together, and we spot this old-timer and some kid examining the lake. They leave, but they accidentally leave their bag behind. Michael wants to go get it and return it, but we'd have to go through the tall grass without a pokemon, which is essentially suicide. He convinces me however, and whadda ya know, we're attacked by a group of starly. I grab a poke ball from the bag, which happens to contain a Turtwig, and fend it off. Thanks, Michael, for almost making me throw my life away. The kid then comes back and takes the bag, and tells us the professor is probably going to be pissed that we used his pokemon.
As we head back home, we run into the professor. he's not pissed at all though, and he doesn't even ask for his pokemon back. He leaves, and his assistant tells us to come see them in the next town over. We first visit our homes again though to tell our moms what happened. My mom gives me a pair of running shoes to speed up my journey, and tells me to head over to the professor quickly. So i head through route 201 to Sandgem Town. I'm greeted by the professor's assistant Lucas, but when i'm about to enter the lab, Michael bumps into me again. He leaves pretty quickly, so i go in and talk to the professor. He sees that i've been treating my Turtwig well and lets me keep it. I name it Sekaigame. The professor then introduces himself as Professor Rowan. He apparently studies pokemon evolution. He wants me to help with this, so he gives me a pokedex to record all the pokemon i come across. Lucas then drags me around town to tell me what pokemon centers and poke marts are. dude, i'm the champion of four regions, i know this stuff.
When he finally leaves me alone, i head to the mart to buy some poke balls. I use them to catch Tatatori the Starly on route 201 and Mouhitotsu the other starly at lake verity. I also stop by home to tell my mom that i'm heading off again. Michael's mom then stops by looking for her son, and gives me something to give to him if i see him. I then head over to route 202, where Lucas decides to show me how to catch a pokemon. whatever, i'll just sit through this. After he's done, he gives me 5 poke balls, which i proceed to use to catch a Shinx. I name it Jskar and i decide to train it and Tatatori up a bit before i go on.
After i'm done training, i progress through the route and find myself in Sapporo - sorry, "Jubilife City" - Where i'm greeted by Lucas. He tells me that Michael went to the trainers school, but i'm not in the mood to go there; there's nothing they can teach me that i don't already know. Instead, i explore the surrounding areas. In the north on route 204, i accidentally kill a starly, but i have two of those already so who cares. There's a cave here; i enter and catch a Zubat, which i name Bruce. It's a dead end though.
I think i'll call it a day for now.

Rules for this game are as follows:
- The challenge is complete once i've defeated the pokemon league
- The northern, southern and exterior portions of Mt. Coronet are considered separate areas in terms of encounters
- I will not be making use of the game corner
- I will not manipulate the time of day to get certain encounters
