Solid Snake's Pokemon Journey (leave brain at door, please)
This is actually a series of results of a CYOA I'm running on a different forum, so if stuff seems "random," that'll be the reason.
Anyway, let's begin.
*beep beep* *bveww*
Snake: Colonel, this is Snake. I've reached the entry point.
Colonel: Good for you, Snake. How hard was it?
Snake: Hm, a little challenging swimming all the way from the middle of Route 21 undetected, but I'm here in Pallet town's shore in one peice, anyway.
Colonel: Alright then Snake, here's your mission. You must investigate wether or not Metal Gear technology is being developed in the Kanto region.
Snake: And if it is?
Colonel: You are authorized to destroy every last piece of it.
Snake: Music to my ears. Snake out.
*bveew*
Under the cover of the murky sunrise, Solid Snake slowly surfaced from the waters of southern Pallet town and looked around. "Only two houses? Some town," he muttered. Snake glaced at his wrist. His waterproof watch read 5 AM. Suddenly, he heard voices up ahead. Darting into the bushes, Snake crouched and waited as three figures walked by
Snake decides that these guys are probably going to wind up being witnesses, so he has to take them out. By stabbing. Unfortunatley, the closest thing to anything.... "stabby" he has is his cigarettes. Shrugging, Snake slilently slithers out of the bushes, creeps up behind the one young lad that trailed well behind the other two, and wraps his arms around his throat! Taking out a cig, he jams the butt into the kid's neck. It doesn't seem to do much.
!
The kid starts screaming. With a quick jerk of his shoulders, Snake easily snaps the kid's neck and falls limp. Tossing his carcass into the bushes, Snake suddenly finds himself confronted with the other two kids! "Hey mister," one asks, "Did you see Gary?"
"...Gary?" Mutters Snake, "Who's Gary?"
"You know, Professor Oak's grandson? Brown spiky hair, purple shirt?"
Snake glances out of the corner of his eye to the kid partially hidden in the shubbery. "Uh, no."
They shrug. "I guess he's still sleeping. Hey you wanna' get a Pokemon with us?"
"...Pokemon?" Snake asks, "What's a Pokemon?"
"Come on," says the kid, beckoing Snake to follow, "We'll show you to Prof. Oak!"
Figuring that one dead kid per day is enough, Snake decides to follow the other two. Who knows, this "Oak" guy might know something about Metal Gear.
Snake and the two kids enter Oak's lab. "Good morning kids," says Oak, "who's this guy?"
"Uh, Dave," Snake mutters.
"Okay then, you kids know the drill," said Oak, showing them to a table with three pokeballs, "take your pick of Pokemon."
"Uh, Oak," says Snake, "What's a.... Pokemon?"
"What's a Pokemon?" Oak says, a little surprised. "Pokemon are animals, that we pit against each other in Pokemon Battles."
"You mean like dogfighting!?" Snake gasps. "That's illegal-!"
Oak suddenly pulls a large, chrome revolver out from his lab coat. "Aha, an outsider!" Oak exclaims, pointing the barrel at Snake. Alarms suddenly blare all over the lab, and the windows, doors, etc, are suddenly all locked down by shutters. "Now that you know Kanto's secret, you can't be allowed to live." The kids pull knives too.
Snake glances hesitantly at the three Pokeballs on the desk. One is labelled "Bulbasaur," one is labelled "Squirtle," and the other "Charmander." Trying to fight these guys hand-to-hand is foolish, even in wacky video game worlds. DEciding that it'd be better for a Pokemon to take a bullet than him, Snake suddenly dives over the desk! Oak fires and misses! Reaching up, Snake grabs the Pokeball labelled Bulbasaur. Oak fires at the desk Snake's taking cover under- it's magnum rounds starting to eat a hole through the desk. Snake shakes the Pokeball, wondering how to open it. So he called the Colonel
*beep beep* *Bveew*
Snake: Colonel! How do you open these damn Pokeball things!?
Colonel: Hang on- I'll patch you through to Delilah Ketchum- our Kanto informant.
*bvvvt*
Delilah: Snake, to open a Pokeball, you have to first equip it with the L button, and then press the circle button!
Snake: L button? Circle button!? What are you talking about!?
Delilah: On your PS2 controller! Duh!
*bvvt*
Snake: Colonel, could I speak to someone who's not a total retard please?
Colonel: Dammit Snake, just toss the goddamn thing already!
*bveew*
Frustrated, Snake winds back his shoulder and chucks the Pokeball onto the floor. One bright flash later, a Bulbasaur appears in front of him. "Alright you," says Snake to the Bulbasaur as Oak fires another revolver round, "Take them out!"
Bulbasaur nods and leaps onto the desk! Deciding that he'll let the Bulbasaur distract them while he escapes, Snake darts towards the door.
"NO!" Yells one of the kids, "There's no running from a trainer battle!"
"Fuck that!" Snake yells back, running-
Shit, everything's still locked down with shutters. There really is no running from trainer battles after all, Snake guesses. Bulbasaur looks pretty pissed off at having being used as a diversion. Snake is getting desperate. "Bulbasaur, do something to scare them!" he yells, dodging another of Oak's revolver shots. Bulbasaur takes a deep breath, and...... growls.
...
"....What the hell?" Snake snarls.
Bulbasaur snorts indignantly, showing his "Thanks" for Snake trying to abandon him. Oak fires another shot, grazing Snake's shoulder armor. His ammo spent, Oak hurriedly starts to reload his revolver. Snake's gotta' think of sometihng to do- fast.
Bulbasaur growls again. Snake now realaizes that if he's going to get out of this alive, he'll have to fight Oak and the kids himself. Sprinting towards Oak, he leaps to tackle him just as Oak finishes reloading his revolver-
Blam. Oak shoots Snake square in the chest. Strangely, Snake barely even feels the bullet tearing through his ribcage as he plows into Oak, breaking his neck upon impact with the floor. The kids dive in with their knives, driving them into Snake's back and though his lungs. Snake barely notices this either, stands up, and plucks the knives out of his back.
Snap snap.
Thump thump.
Two kids with freshly broken necks hit the floor. Snake, mystified by this strange turn of events, crouches and calls the Colonel
*beep beep* *bveew*
Snake: Colonel, I've been shot and stabbed.
Colonel: No!
Snake: But the wierd thing is, I hardy feel a thing. In fact, I don't think I'm even injured that bad at all.
*bvvt*
Delilah: That's because Bulbasaur's Growl attack lowers your opponent's Attack stat, making their attacks do less damage to you.
Snake: ...
*bvvt*
Colonel: Anyway Snake, have you heard anything about Metal Gear yet?
Snake: Not yet. I just had to kill the only guy in this town who looked like he'd know something.
Colonel: Hm, unfortunate. Try heading north to Viridian City. There might be someone there who knows something about Metal Gear.
Snake: Gotcha. Snake out.
*bveew*
Snake turns and faces the stubborn Bulbasaur. Muttering under his breath, Snake picks up the Pokeball and Bulbasaur is zapped inside. Since there was nobody else around, Snake helps himself to the Pokeballs labelled Squirtle and Charmander too.
More will come as it progresses
