Note to New Readers: The writing and content of this DOES get better. I started this story as a journal-style tumblr account while playing Black 2. I had no idea people were actually going to start following and like it. The chapters become better and longer as the story progresses.

Hello everyone! This is Meilin-chan from tumblr (if you follow me there). I am cross-posting this to fanfictionNet as there seems to be a lot of interest... Well, more than I expected. Honestly this story started as a fun project for me to record my black 2 game experience.

Here, tumblr entries have been combined into chapters, so things might look a bit different (such as no pictures, some short entries not included, like tumblr ask reviews etc), but nothing has been added. Also, while on tumblr I use my in game character names Meilin (for Mei/Rosa) and Sano (Hyuu/Hugh), here I will substitute the English given names.

My Great Big Adventure

Mom is forcing me to get a Pokemon. And a Pokedex. And she's kicking me out.

Even though I said NO at least 10 times.

Oh, and it's like 3 am and I'm supposed to be looking for some chick in a green hat.

FML.

Mom basically just threw me out in my pjs and locked the door behind me. Not even black tights make these pj shorts look good…

Even my best friend, Hugh, is against me!

He's all "once you get a Pokemon, you can help me out!" How greedy can you get? Then again, Hugh has always been a bit selfish. Brags to me about his Tepig just to hear himself talk. He's pretty pushy too, something he gets from his kickboxing dad.

Anyway, I decided to ditch Green Hat Chick and skip town. I could make it on my own, Pokemon-free. But No… freakin' Hugh practically kidnaps me and forces me to look for Hat Chick with him, going through every house in the neighborhood. Strangely, none of our neighbors cared that we just waltzed in unannounced.

So we're out looking, in the cold snow, in the dark, for this Bianca person, and all Hugh says is "Hurry up!" Pfft. HE has a jacket. I'm the one freezing… He wouldn't even let me go into the Pokemon center for a warm drink! What a jerk-face! And once we were close to the romantic look-out point, Hugh got pretty excited. I thought, maybe just MAYBE, he was excited to be alone with me. NOPE. He blabbers about Bianca and how "she must be up here!" and "hurry up and get your Pokemon!" and drags me up the stairs!

Well, so Green Hat Chick Bianca was up there after all. Somehow she knew who I was, because despite me saying I didn't know who Rosa was, she knew it was me anyway, groan. And then she forced this Pokedex on me. I tried to get out then, but of course Hugh blocked me in. So Bianca made me choose a Pokemon.

The blue otter was cute, but he looked pretty whiny and dependent. The fire pig was just… no.

So I ended up with a grass snake. Yup.

I tried to release him and Bianca flipped her shit. I thought she was having a heart attack. And Hugh started swearing at me, something the grass Pokemon, Snivy, found incredibly offensive.

However, the little guy seems a bit haughty and doesn't keep too close to me. He's independent, so that's good. I wonder if he can feed himself… I don't care for "Snivy" so I've nicknamed him Syaoran. Eheh.

Anyway, where was I?

Oh right, Bianca forces all this stuff on me.

And then Hugh comes up and DEMANDS A POKEDEX TOO.

Wtf dude. Not cool.

But wait, it gets worse.

Hugh demands a Pokemon battle with me.

And me, being the crazy girl with a crush on her childhood friend (who is really just a stupid boy), I dumbly say "ooo-ok".

Honestly, it was a pathetic battle. His Tepig has MUCH more experience, being raised from an egg and all. Snivy didn't even listen to half the commands I gave him (though Bianca says that was mostly because he doesn't know moves like Rapid Spin or Bite…). We (Snivy and I) barely won after Hugh's Tepig accidentally smoked himself. Seriously, Snivy was barely breathing and all Hugh is concerned about is being upset at owing me $500.

Which I did not know. You can make money off Pokemon? Isn't that like slavery or something? Still worried I might get in trouble with the law, I suppose I will train this Snivy for battle. And win a crap ton of CASH.

Oh no, Bianca is talking to me again. She apparently is under the impression that I've never been inside a Pokemon Center. Sigh.

I am so sleepy.

Finally shook off Bianca, Hugh, and my mom.

Time to catch some shuteye at the Pokemon Center.

Until tomorrow. Err, looking at the clock, later today.
