"Kano," Kido ran a hand through her hair. "I hate you, you know that. How we even get in the game in the first place?"
"Oh," Kano smiled sheepishly. "Dad owed me a few favors, so I asked him to make this..."
"Dad?! So we're basically two Enes trapped in a video game."
"Basically."
"Why does all of this sound like a rip-off of Sword Art Online?"
"You know, standing here talking wouldn't be of any help. We should go and...choose our Pokemon!"
"I want answers."
Kano sighed. "Fine, fine. So I asked Dad to make a video game for us to play so he did make one for me. and it's perfectly fine! See? We can log ou-"
He opened up the menu to point at the Log Out button, but it wasn't there.
"Are you kidding me," Kido was getting ready to put Kano in a chokehold. "So we're stuck in here until who-knows-what?"
"Wait this is totally wrong," Kano started getting riled up at the sight of Kido's death glare. "There can't be a fault in the programming, I mean, Dad can't be that bad of a programmer-"
"Just shut up and let's walk to the buildings," Kido pointed over to a building that looked like a laboratory. "Maybe they'll hold answers there."
The duo walked through the swishing doors of the building to be aproached by a rotund man with messy hair and an unshaven face. He looked like a mad scientist.
"Hello!" the man replied in a happy tone. "You must be the people who have come to get their Pokemon! I am Professor Cozmo and I will be the one to help guide you on your journey!"
"Actually," Kano pushed Kido towards the chubby professor. "I already have Pokemon. This person still needs her Pokemon."
"I'm Kido." Kido's eighth-grader syndrome kicked in.
"Hello!" the professor was unfazed by Kido's glare and went on to retreive the capsules containing the Pokemon.
"He didn't flinch," Kido scowled. "Or anything."
"He's an NPC," Kano explained. "They don't get affected by what you say or what you do to them."
"That last line is a little creepy," Kido started to say, but was interrupted by Cozmo coming back with three capsules.
"Choose one from the three," Professor Cozmo said. Kido, who had no idea that you were supposed to let the Pokemon out and inspect it, chose a random one and said, "Here it is, whatever it is."
"Oh, so you choose Treecko!" Cozmo said in a delighted tone. "Would you like to give your new Pokemon a nickname?"
"No thanks," Kido said. She turned to Kano and asked, "What's a Treecko?"
"It's the green one," Kano replied, but Kido's confused look said it all. "Did...did you choose the Pokemon without looking at it?"
"We were supposed to look at it?" Kido's expression turned into a mixture of shock and embarrassment. "Then what is it?"
"Check for yourself," Kano winked (but the he was punched by Kido).
They went outside to see what was inside the Pokeball. It was a green lizard-like animal with bright yellow eyes and a red stomach. It had a leaf-like tail and a stick in its mouth.
"It kind of looks like you, Kido," Kano bent over to inspect the little animal, who has now just been startled by the looming figure and perched itself on Kido's shoulder.
"Oh shut up," Kido rolled her eyes. "But I guess it does. And you said that you had Pokemon."
"Yeah," Kano shrugged. "I had my old game data transferred onto this one."
"Doesn't that mean your team is a little overpowered?"
"I guess."
"Well, can I see?"
Kido's curious face was enough to make Kano almost burst into laughing, but hid it behind a smirk and reached to his belt. He took the capsules one by one and sent them flying into the air, making it seem like it was raining Pokemon.
In Kano's arsenal, there was Zorua, Umbreon, Swampert, Pikachu, Staravia, and Ditto. Of course, to Kido, they just looked like really badass and cute-looking monsters, but for the sake of the story, we will not go through the descriptions of all these Pokemon.
"Woah," Kido took a reluctant step toward's Kano and the Pokemon surrounding him. Treecko was back into its ball, but Kido knew that it was intimidated. "You got all these?"
"Yeah," Kano flashed a triumphant smile. "They're pretty cool."
"Don't go around getting a big head," Kido warned. Her glare even startled Kano's Pokemon.
"Well you can get a team like this too!" Kano quickly added, hoping not to feel the wrath of Kido. "Let's get started on this journey!"
"Alright," Kido looked at the lone Pokeball on her new belt. "But I never said I would enjoy it."
