Setting:Three young individuals have just arrived in Nuvema Town of the Unova region. They are in a Pokemon research lab, awaiting eagerly to receive their first Pokemon of their own. Reservedly quiet Benoliz was sitting down, staring at a metal green box on a table across the small office area. Sitting next to him was the red-headed introvert Tessle; looking down at her boots. Bleach-blond and impatient Lufan was the only one of the acquainted trio standing up, trying not to tap his feet on the tile. They have been gifted with an innate ability of talking to Pokemon, and had been sought after by a group known as the Inquisitors. The three, despite coming from different cities and regions of the world, have gotten to bond and study together at the inquisition center for over a year.

Professor Etcetera:(Coming in the room, scribbling on a clipboard) "Lead director Exclamatory has told me about you three…our keys to understanding Pokémon, and how their relationships with humans affect them. Though, from what I understand none of you had actually….gotten to know any Pokémon personally, is that right?"

Lufan:(Stepping forward with his arms crossed) "...we haven’t. That’s why we were sent to this town first, isn’t it? You’re giving each of us a Pokémon?"

Prof.Etc: (wagging a finger) "Ahh, but more than that! The director and I want you to take these Pokémon and complete the Pokémon trainer challenge of the Unova region!"

Tessle:(Sporting a worried look) "You mean we have to fight other trainers, get badges from gym leaders and…even take on the elite 4?!"

Prof.Etc: "It certainly is a daunting and ambitious task…but it will certainly help us know how Pokémon feel about such a challenge, and let us know if Pokémon Trainers are needlessly endangering our fellow world dwellers...among other things."

Benoliz: (He nods, standing up.) "We'll do our best to not disappoint, professor."

Lufan: (Glaring at Benoliz) "So…where are the Pokémon?"

Prof.Etc: (Gesturing) "The table to your left. In the box. Hand-picked for each of you based on the results of your previous exams. Benoliz gets the Oshawott, Tessle gets the Tepig, and Lufan, you have the Snivy."

Tessle:(Cuts in front of the other two and snatches the Tepig-labeled pokeball) "Hehe, hey, Benoliz! Let’s try them out!"

Benoliz: (staring at his pokeball) "…might as well get the ropes down."

Prof.Etc: "An excellent suggestion, Tessle! I will observe."

*They send out their starters, commencing battle*

Benoliz: "Oshawott, this is a fight to see where you stand!"
Oshawott:"(looking back) I’m honored to have the chance!"

*Tepig tackles Oshawott; a critical hit!*

Tessle: "Oh my! This might end before it starts! Great going, Tepig!"
Benoliz:"You’re okay, right Oshawott?!"
Oshawott: (Picking herself up) "Sir, please call me Llia….and...yes, I can still fight."

*Tepig is boasting with tail whip, and gets tackled*

*fight ends, Benoliz is victor*


Lufan:"Hmph! Alright Benoliz, you won, so now you get the honor of facing me! I've already battled with Pokémon while I was at the Inquisition Center."

Benoliz: "…you going to be okay with another fight, Llia…?"

Llia: "Oh, you don’t need to fret over me, sir. Call the shots."

*Lufan sends his starter in, commencing battle*

Benoliz: "Let’s do some damage from the start this time; tackle!"
Llia: "Yes sir!"

*Snivy takes a critical hit*

Snivy: (Retaliating with a tackle) "Lucky ssshot, sssissster!"
Llia:(tackles again) "Luck has no part of this!"

*Fight ends, Benoliz victor once more*

Lufan: "…Well I guess I underestimated you! Don’t expect that to happen next time."

Prof.Etc: "Interesting. The director has faith in the three of you. When this task is finished, we will want a recounting of your journey; take these maps of the region. The first town to get to will be Accumula Town. Striaton City hosts the first Gym.
Of course, you can’t go at the Pokémon League challenge with merely one Pokémon. You need to catch more if you want a hope at success. Take these."

*The three receive Pokeballs*

Tessle: "Oh, I remember the notes I took on Pokémon catching at the Inquisition center! Thanks!"

Lufan: "Much appreciated Prof."

Benoliz: "Thank you, sir."

Prof.Etc: "Ahh, of course. It is sink or swim! You all have the ability to talk to and understand Pokémon speech, thanks to your gifted genes and classes at the center. Make good use of it; though I believe it goes without saying. Good luck."

Welp, it begins, right?
Nope, not a nuzlocke comic, and no, not a full on piece of writing. It is more like a half-baked bit of both writing and art. :B
I'll be updating this every Tuesday from here until.....November! Unless I give up on it or something unexpected comes up.
Sooo yeaaah. My spin-off of the 5th gen games, Pokemon White/Black! Where I pretty much replace a lot of main canon characters such a Professor Juniper with some guy called Professor Etcetera!

Hopefully this may distract people from silly things like Pokemon Beta or even Tale of Beingchu not updating for a while~

I worked on this picture during the livestream last Saturday, for those who weren't there. I said I'd be there for 5/6 hours, but I couldn't last 4..... ^^;
I only managed to get the shading done.
Start-to-finish, though, the picture took 5 hours and typing the script to accompany it took another 2. x'D
