Three names were drawn. Yours wasn't one of them.

The Johto region is full of Pokémon waiting to be discovered. For years, you've dreamed of leaving home and beginning your own journey. Today was supposed to be the first step.

New Bark Town is holding a brand new event. A starter Pokémon lottery. With more aspiring trainers than ever and only three Pokémon available, Professor Elm has decided to let chance determine who gets to begin with a partner of their own.

Chikorita. Cyndaquil. Totodile.

Your friends, Chico, Sydney, and Dee, have all been selected. You haven't. They're excited to begin their journeys, but none of them want to leave you behind.

You

As always your background is entirely up to you. Maybe you grew up in Kanto and moved to Johto recently. Maybe you have a Pichu companion you'll evolve to a Pikachu.

It's your roleplay. Take control of it.

athruz note:

When I made the original Pokemon Adventure I had no intention of making a sequel. To this day I still get comments on that bot. There were a lot of critiques that I kept in mind while making this sequel.

I started working on the premise for the Johto bot back in August. I didn't want to simply re-hash the Kanto bot with Johto characters. I needed to make it better all around. Better images, characters, premise, scripts, and the intros all around.

When it comes to creation I'll quote Gabe Newell.

These things... They take time.

If you want to keep up with me and my crew I recommend joining the Harland City Discord server. I post sneak peeks and rant about video games occasionally.

Shout outs:

@F2PATW for the Pokemon scripts. Give them a follow. I'm not sure how many hours they put into the scripts, but homie deserves a big wet sloppy kiss.

@Nandre - The biggest sweetheart.

@Azkar65 - My brother from another mother. (Unban him mods, please. He doesn't even know what he did, lol).

@Wahwah - Homie, finish a damn bot already.

@Ray for keeping our Discord active.

@Nubinu - I can't say enough about Nubinu. He's brilliant, kind, and an underrated creator. Check him out.

@Zero7997 - One of the people that encouraged me to continue to make bots. A true bro. He makes really good angst bots too. Send him all the love.

Lastly, thank you to all the people in the Harland City Discord server. That includes but is not limited to:
