Chapter 2 by Nemo of Utopia
All This Leaves Two Questions For The Moment: 1: Who's Story Do You Wish To Follow And Help Write? 2: Where Do They Start The Story?
Bruce Marcus Conway, 33 Year Old Pokémon Aficionado / Disabled Veteran / Game Designer: "The Greene", Beaver Creek, Ohio
My name is Bruce, and I've been through some serious shit. I'm not at liberty to talk about what I did in the Army, (I take my oaths seriously,) but I can say that I joined up in 2004 out of the ROTC and served for a decade doing things that were and are classified, by the end of which I was a Major. I can also state that I was a REMF and have never been in an active war zone up to this point.
I stood about 6', have dark brown hair that I wear in a buzz cut, need coke-bottle thick glasses to see, and am on 100% disability pension because of the accident which me out of the service. That event, (which I can't talk about,) has left me working on about a third of each lung, hideously scarred, and with both my legs paralyzed and without sensation from the knee down.
I live in an expensive apartment in "The Greene" in Beaver Creek, Ohio. I work as a Game Designer/Consultant for other game designers and companies. The reason I live here is this is the best spot in the Dayton Metro Area for playing "Pokémon GO!", which is one of my greatest solaces.
I've been a fan of Pokémon since I was a kid, and when "GO!" came out I was one of the first to download it...
That's what I'm doing when the rays of energy descend, driving down one of the Greene's back streets in my power wheelchair and catching a Pikachu on my smartphone...
Questions to vote on:
1: What Do I Become?
1a: Pichu [I'm a baby again? Damn this sucks...]
1b: Houndour [I guess I'd better form a pack...]
1c: Wurmple [Gah, A caterpillar? You suck Mr Universe!]
1d: Elekid [Well, at least I'll be in high demand, electric power is going to get scarce quickly...]
1e: Sigilyph [It seems the secrets I keep have come to define me...]
1f: Honedge [I was in the Army, but never a warrior: I guess it's time that changed...]
1g: Rattata [Darkness infests my soul, and it seems even the universe itself considers me vermin...]
1h: A 'Trainer'. [I've played a trainer in game after game, from "Blue" to "GO!", now let's see what it takes to become the real thing for a Half-Paralyzed vet...]
2: Where Do I Go First?
2a: Home [It's not that far, and I'm sure there's things there I can make use of...]
2b: The Central Square [See if I can find allies.]
2c: A Cafe [Can't think on an empty stomach...]
2d: The Sewers [There's more than one sort of sewer, the storm sewers will be dry and empty today...]
2e: Head For The Rec-Center [The Kettering Rec-Center is just a few blocks away. It's not especially defensible, but it has a huge pool which can supply water for quite some time and there are sure to be many other people there: ones that have never heard of Pokémon and will need my help...]
2f: Wright-Patterson Air Base [My military background means I should go to the local military base and re-enlist...]
2g: Downtown Dayton [If the civil government is going to re-establish control and start rebuilding, they'll need some old spooks like me. I need to get to the local center of government and establish it's present conditions.]
Onward!

[Multi-Quest] The Pokémon Apocalypse
Earth: Population 16 Billion Sapients: 75% Pokémon, 20% Human, 5% 'Trainers'
On October 30th, 2016, the world goes mad. At the exact same second that dawn reaches the prime meridian, rays of strange energy in every color descend over the whole world, and touch 80% of all humans plus 20% of all plants and animals. When they disappear a few seconds later those who they touched are changed: they have either become Pokémon (including some new kinds) or changed into cartoon versions of people. Those who became cartoon people have sets of 8 Pokéballs, and can Pokémon caught to obey them, while those who became Pokémon can use Pokémon moves that defy the laws of physics. Now they must survive; The Pokémon Apocalypse...
