This is a Pokémon Go hunt! I have a lead on a spawn location! You too, buddy!
I got off at Yokosuka on my way to Japan Town. With a little luck and a lot of patience, maybe we can become best buddies with a rare find. Is there anything you’d like to add, Mr.Godzilla?
I hope that I won't end up as someone's lunch.
Just a friendly advice, make sure you’re not next to an atomic breath producing deino when one of those spawns. The deino may misinterpret your actions as an aggressive move towards it, thus resulting in your untimely demise by atomic flame.
Good tip, Poolin. Thanks for the warning.
Domo! Domo! Ok then we’ll catch Pokemon! I will check under the stairs!
Hmph... You do that. I'll watch from over here.
Stop complaining about your damn life. What’s the worst that could happen? My decked out charizard eats you? Sorry buddy, but don’t hog all the stair real estate. If I’m paying attention to what I’m walking over, I wouldn’t trip over you. As it is now, I need eyes in the back of my head to avoid stepping on you.
Alright, alright! No need to get all feisty. Just making myself comfortable is all.
Well, if you’re just making yourself comfortable, why don’t you get up a little? Give everyone else a chance to see the view.
Fine, fine. I'll move. Happy now?
Don’t forget the ceilings. Check high. Most people don’t realize that koma squares hide up there. Pay attention to the light fixtures. Those often conceal squares. If you do find one, try not to laugh when they hatch. Their movements are hilarious. Don’t let the big faces scare you. They look more intimidating than they actually are. Finally, be polite. The last thing you want to do is hurt someone’s feelings by accidentally landing on them while trying to scan.
Got it. I'll be polite and watch out for the ceilings.
And remember! If you do catch something, submit it right away! You would hate to have some incompetent fool drop it right after catching it. Don’t let that happen to you, now! Be efficient! Be smart! And most importantly, be awesome! Now, where were we? Oh, right! I gotta go check the walls, I think I saw something hiding in the baseboards. But wait! Look over there! The space between the slats on the bottom of the train! Could it be? It is! It’s a Bulbasaur! It’s super small, but if you tap the screen repeatedly while it’s hatching, you’ll eventually get a 40% XP bonus for encouraging it! Go do it before someone steals it! I didn’t want to alarm anyone, but if you don’t scan it right away, someone might just grab it and use it for their own gain! You wouldn’t want someone else to be the hero now, would you? Okay, I’ll be honest, there’s no Bulbasaur, but I do need the practice catching things. Let’s move along anyway. There’s plenty of time to play Pokémon Go later.
Where did you get that information?
Well I was raised by a single mother who was a professor, so whatever she said, was basically gospel in my book. She also told me to use proper English, so….. yeah.
Huh. So your mom taught you well. Mine taught me that you should keep to yourself. That's why I'm so... stoic.
We’ve only known each other for five minutes… call it what you want, but I think that the term “stoic” is a little harsh. No offense though, and hey, thanks for showing us around the train.
Sure thing. Feel free to come up to me if you need anything. I'll be here watching the scenery.
I could take a few pointers from your stoicism. My trainer keeps telling me to stand still longer. Says I need patience. Maybe I’m just hungry. Ah! Sushi go! We finally made it to San Francisco! Ha! Should we disembark or continue on to Sacramento?
Uh... How about we go to a Pokémon Go event first?
Hmm? Hold on, is that….. A gym?! It has a blue hive on it. Quick, we have to get there before anyone else does! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty! Come on, come on! Run, Poolin, run! The power of friendship is allowing us to run further than normally possible. Oh come on! Move it you fat monkey! This old sako is holding us back. At this rate, if we don’t get there soon, I’m gonna have to beat you to a pulp. Hey! Come on fat guy! Run! I’ll give you a running head start! No, no, I’m okay! Keep going! We’re almost there! Taps! Hello? Someone tap me. I need to submit this thing. Hey, remember to submit that when we do get there. We don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to conquer this new gym. Perhaps we shall name this one, “The Hive.” Whoever controls The Hive has great influence over all the city’s gyms, as whoever rules the training grounds, rules the world. M
Do you really think you can conquer the Hive? Just because you can throw a few Poké Balls doesn't mean you're superior to anyone else.
Aw man, there’s no Hive, is there? You had me all excited and stuff. Man, I was gonna name my Kadabra, Albus. Too bad. Heh. I guess it’s just your standard California winter then. C’mon, let’s get out there and start training! Everyone else already did, so we can’t fall behind now. What do you say we show these trainers how it’s done!? These humans have made it easy for us to gather at one location to battle at gyms. In the wild, they must fight for every inch of land. It’s all about survival! And the stronger you are, the better chance you have of making it through the next encounter. We train, we battle, and we improve. Our power grows, our spirit strengthens. Together, we rise. Hi guys! Do you have a moment to talk about the future? Yeah, I’ll tell you the future. When I evolve into my final form, you’ll be the first to know. I’m very strong and powerful and whenever I step into a gym and see an enemy team, they will surrender knowing they cannot defeat me. However, they will challenge me nonetheless. All who stand before me will fall in defeat and fear my mere
And the rest will scatter. My name, once just a mere word, will become a curse to strike fear into the hearts of anyone foolish enough to oppose me. The world will learn to cower at the mention of my name, but they will whisper it. It is time for the prophecy to come true. This train ride was all a test to decide if I could control my power. We have arrived at our destination. I shall evolve into my final form and become the most powerful Pokémon ever known. And on that day, the world will tremble at the sound of my name. Bow before me, mortals. Prepare yourself to witness the terror that is GODZILLA!1!1! uses mega punch and sends trainers flying into the walls Alright, calm down. Why do you think they call me ‘the great unevolver’? Once we get out there, we’ll see that they’re all full of themselves. This one thinks he’s going to be king of the world! Just like all the rest. He wants you to bow before him and worship him. He gets strength from your belief in him. Take away his throne and watch him collapse. The great Godzilla, brought down by a simple trick. Pathetic! But
Now, now. Is there any reason you're using all caps? It's kind of hard to read.
My apologies. I tend to shout whenever I am in a situation similar to this. What he said, Poolin. Anyway, let’s continue what Sam here was saying. We’ve been so busy staring at the ceiling and potential Pokémon hiding up there that we didn’t notice when the train came to a stop. Let’s disembark and head outside to get a better look at our surroundings. Now, if you please. exits train car Now, I wonder where the nearest Pokéstop is. I don’t want to waste time looking for it though. Maybe we should team up and explore together. That way, we can cover more ground and efficiently look for stops. Are you ready, trainers? Our journey begins now! It’s exciting, isn’t it? I bet we’ll catch a whole bunch of pokémon today. Don’t forget to submit those catches! You wouldn’t want to lose any precious experience points for your pokémon, now would you? Hmm, is that a rare bird? Or is it a dragon? Looks pretty big. I hope it won’t attack us. I don’t think we could defeat it, so we’ll just have to be nice and respectful visitors to its territory. Let’s move along now, it seems that
Woah, woah! Slow down, tiger.
