Elsewhere in Viridian Forest (Red POV)

Word from Author: Attention Pokeslut fans! As the thrilling journey of our protagonist continues, it's time to introduce a new character to the story. I want you, the readers, to have a say in which Pokegirl will be introduced next. I have picked five characters from the top 10 most popular Pokemon girls. Jessie and Dawn are not on the list because I already have plans for them. Serena and one of the Joys have already been introduced, therefore, they aren't on the list either. And most NSFW fanart of Iris could be against CHYOA TOS, so she's not on the list either.

The poll has been closed, and the results are in! Thank you all for your participation and making your voices heard. Stay tuned for more exciting events and activities in the future!

You slowly open your eyes as the first rays of morning sunlight begin to creep through the dense treetops. You can hear the sound of wild Pokemon in the distance, reminding you of the bustling life surrounding you. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, you sit up and take a moment to stretch your tired limbs. Yesterday was a long day, but you managed to catch two Pokemon.

Beside you, Pikachu stirs from its slumber, giving a little yawn. A wave of affection washes over you as you gaze at your loyal partner. Pikachu has been by your side since the beginning, and your bond has grown stronger with every challenge you've faced together. As you start preparing for breakfast you recall yesterday's events.

You were still in the PokeCenter when you received a call from the hospital. Green, your new friend, was still sleeping when duty called. You had to go for a final checkup before continuing your adventure. Leaving Green a note, you embarked on your own, together with Pikachu.

After the checkup was completed, you stormed out of the hospital, eager to start your journey for real this time.

As you journeyed through Route 2, it didn't take long before you came across a sleepy Slakoth, lazily hanging from a tree branch. Intrigued by its calm demeanor, you decided to capture it and add it to your team.

In the forest, you faced off against a group of Bug Catchers, but emerged victorious, earning 2000PD. You used two potions to heal your Pokemon before continuing to make your way deeper into Viridian Forest.

After defeating a Wurmple and a Pidgey, you came across a Charmander, abandoned and alone, seeking shelter among the trees.

It took a bit of convincing, but you were able to convince Charmander to join your team. As you reached for your Pokedex, a notification caught your attention. Green sent you a friend request. Excitement surged through you as you quickly accepted and reciprocated with a message and a picture of your new companion.

After a short lunch break, you continued your journey, with Charmander easily handling the Bug-type Pokemon that crossed your path. Your team grew stronger with each victory, and the bond between you and your Pokemon deepened.

As the day progressed, you found yourself navigating through the dense leafage of Viridian Forest, the trees providing cool shade. The forest seemed alive with the sounds of chirping Flying-type Pokemon, buzzing Bug-type Pokemon, and rustling leaves.

Your encounters with various Pokemon in the forest proved to be both challenging and rewarding. Venturing deeper into Viridian Forest, a swarm of angry Beedrills descended upon you. Their sharp stingers flashed menacingly, and their buzzing wings filled the air. After running and panicking for 10 minutes, you quickly realized you needed a plan to shake off the pursuing Beedrills. With a determined look, you called out your newly captured Charmander.

It unleashed a thick cloud of obscuring smoke, enveloping the area. The Beedrills, disoriented by the sudden darkness, were momentarily thrown off course. However, as the smoke cleared, you realized you had become separated from your intended path. The dense trees and undergrowth blurred together, creating a labyrinth made of trees.

Hours passed as you continued your trek through the tree labyrinth, battling fatigue and uncertainty. Just as you were about to lose hope, you stumbled upon an exit, finding yourself back on the path.

As the sun slowly began to set, you started looking for a suitable spot to spend the night. After choosing a spot next to a creek, you prepared your campfire and settled in for the night.

With the events of the previous day still fresh in your mind, you pour yourself a steaming cup of coffee and take a moment to savor its warmth and rich flavor. Sitting by the campfire, you take a sip of the freshly brewed coffee, feeling its warmth spread through your body and energizing you for the day ahead.
