{Yellow wakes up in the Pokemon center.}
Yellow: That's funny... I think I'd planned to explore town a bit more... Is everyone else alright?
{Checking his team, he sees that an Eevee has joined him.}
Yellow: Well, hello. Where did you come from?
Eevee: ...
Yellow: Well, If you're alright with helping me, I'd appreciate it.
{Yellow decides to explore town a bit more. He is surprised to see a Team Rocket member wandering around in plan sight right outside the Pokemon Center.}
Rocket: Stay out of Team Rocket's way!
Yellow: (How did I not see him earlier?)
Pikachu: Team Rocket Headquarters is here... And it seems we will need to face them sooner or later.
{Yellow finds a small restaurant.}
"Munch... The man at that table lost it all at the slots."
"Psst! There's a basement under the Game Corner."
"Go ahead! Laugh! I'm flat out busted! No more slots for me! I'm going straight! Here! I won't be needing this anymore!"
{Yellow gets a Coin Case}
Yellow: (Alright. now I can carry Game Tokens.)
{Yellow listens n at a nearby house}
Rocket: Chief! We just shipped 2000 Pokemon as slot prizes!
Bouncer: Don't touch the poster at the game corner! There's no secret switch behind it!
Chief: Hehehe! The slots just reel in the dough, big time!
Yellow: (It's funny how I can just walk up like this and they don't try to stop me. Maybe these guys are more savvy than the others.)
- Rocket Game Corner
Yellow: Well, it's pretty obvious that this place is run by Team Rocket. But let's not pick a fight just yet...
Pikachu: Then what should we do?
Yellow: For now, we look around. Think of it as a scouting mission.
{A lot of people are playing the slots. Including a rather familiar face.}
Gym Guy: Hey! You have better things to do, champ in making! Celadon's Gym Leader is Erika! She uses Grass Type Pokemon! She might appear docile, but don't be fooled!
Yellow: So, why aren't you in the gym?
Gym Guy: It's a bit hard to explain... but she only lets other women stay at the gym. But they can't exactly bar entry to a challenger!
Yellow: (A grass Type leader... Maybe...)
{Yellow finds 260 coins just lying on the floor and given to him by other gamblers. He decides to see what he can use them for in the adjacent Prize Corner. The prize exchange stocks Pokemon and T Ms - probably illicitly obtained, Yellow realizes. However...}
Yellow: (...They'd be better off with me than here.)
{...Or at least, that's how he tries to justify himself.}
Yellow: (I shouldn't cause a scene out in the open. I can... trade for an Abra now, and I think I can buy enough coins for a Vulpix. The rest will have to wait.)
{Doing so seriously depletes his savings. After this, he spends the rest at Celedon department store on bargain healing items, and one special stone at the gift shop...}
{At the Pokemon Center, near the PC:}
Yellow: Alright everyone, I've got some explaining to do. Basically, Rock Tunnel taught me that there are times when it's good to double up on types. So, I'm putting together a team of backups for you where I can. Don't worry, everyone will get their time in the spotlight. Our next move is to attack Team Rocket's hideout under the Game Corner. Hopefully, we can get them to loosen their grip on the area.
Pikachu: Understood. With what we are facing, we must be prepared!
Gyarados: It matters not who is part of our team. Nothing will ever stop our power!
Ivysaur: I believe I understand. It's a pity that a team can only have 6 members at a time.
Charmeleon: I'm always up for action, but I guess some things are more important, huh?
Wartortle: Well, it was fun while it lasted. But I guess you need to start getting ready for Erika now, right? Call me when we're at another cave.
Eevee: Heehee! This should be fun!
Abra: Ah, this is a new experience for me.
Vulpix: If it means a chance against Team Rocket, I will follow your lead!
Yellow: I was hoping for a reaction like that. Now, time to use these...
{Yellow touhes the Thunderstone against Eevee, and it's radiations trigger his evolution into the sikey electric fox Jolteon! Then he feeds Abra a rare candy, and it's slight energy boost is just enough to trigger evolution into Kadabra, who immediately learns confusion.}
Kadabra: Ah, it seems I will be able to help you against Team Rocket's trickery.
