 QUEST LINE 1: CATCH 'EM NYALL
BETA ISLAND STORY QUEST STARTER POKEMON COLLECTIONNestled on the docks between a pair of weathered fisherman is the temporary lab. Unlike the canvas construction commanded by Professor Ash, this is more of a stall, run by a pointy-toothed catgirl in a greasy lab coat. "Nyaice to meet nya!" says the girl, whose sparkly nametag marks her as Dr. Bunya. "You must be the nyaew trainer! Ashie told me you'd be here to pick up the shipment." She winks, as if this was supposed to be a big secret. "Well I've got a little something to tell you of my own!" she says sneakily. Dr. Bunya throws her arms wide, lab coat flaring dramatically. "I don't have any Pokemon for Ashie!"
Silence falls. Beside you, one of the fishermen reels in a Pokemon. Excited, he catches the Water-type in a Pokeball and walks over, handing it to Bunya, who slips him a few Bytes in exchange. The 'Doctor' then puts the Pokeball into a cooler at her feet labelled 'snacks'. "Not a single one!" she continues, as if you didn't just see the exchange. "So that's why I need you, big strong trainer!"
She hurries out from behind the stall, racing down the docks towards the bright sands of Beta Beach. Skidding to a halt, she waits for you to catch up. "Beach, jungle, and volcano," she says, pointing in turn at the three areas of the island. "Each of them holds eight unyaique species of Pokemon. I nyaeed one of each, or else Ashie is gonna be mad!" She winks again, playfully. "But hey, if you get tired after one or two that's fine. Better than nyathing!"

BUNYA'S CHECKLIST (24/24)Please report back here when you have caught a Starter Pokemon to add to the list. Your 25 BYTES will be refunded and the Pokemon will be removed from your PC!
When all Starter Pokemon have been caught, the Beta Island simulation will end and AREA ONE will officially open for play! If all Starter Pokemon have not been caught before the developers decide to open Area One, those missing Pokemon will not be available to new players as starters.
UPDATE: STARTER SWARMS ARE NOW AVAILABLE!{QUEST LINE 2: GLOBAL SWARMING}  QUEST LINE 2: GLOBAL SWARMING
POPULATION EXPLOSION ON BETA ISLANDA notification pops up on your UI: A video message from Professor Ash. "Hello, trainer. I trust your simple collection mission is going well. After all, it's barely been..." she makes a show of checking her slim watch, "...two weeks."
She sighs, the type of practiced and needlessly dramatic sigh of someone used to working with colleagues who blast through deadlines. "Anyway, let me add to what I can only assume is your vast laundry list of crucial tasks." The image switches to a topographical map of Beta Island, which shows the coast, rainforest, and central volcano in a series of cyan outlines. "My biomass monitoring shows a vast increase in island spawns. Something must have destabilized the ecosystem, and now certain Pokemon are breeding rapidly to fill the developing niches."
Ash realizes what she's said and paraphrases for your benefit. "The Pokemon are swarming. Defeating and catching them should settle the population for now, but we need to find out what has thrown off the balance. Investigate and get back to me." The video ends.

That jog was horrible. Allotta was named for one reason alone and it turned out that someone on the dev team had decided that poor bra support should be a feature. Her back was killing her now!
"Dr. Catgirl! I got some pokemon!" The Cyndaquil and Chikorita that D-Bug had JUST carefully and lovingly added to her PC was offered up. They were still in their little pokeballs, snugs as bugs in rugs. How cute!
"They beat my ass wholesale so I don't care if you eat them or whatever. I just don't want to look at them anymore."
Offering Cyndaquil and Chikorita to Bunya! |

Allotta Bambooga slaps the Pokeballs on the counter and Dr. Bunya pounces on them. "Nyaa! Fresh meat!" She bats the orbs between her pawlike hands (the Pokeballs, not any part of Allotta), as if she were playing with a new toy.
After an awkwardly long time, she seems to remember where she is and looks up at you. "Thanks for your nyassistance! I'll be sure to 'send these to Ashie' right away." She winks, which isn't reassuring.

Back on the docks, at the shack/laboratory, Dr. Bunya was waiting for fresh meat. Big Bee had no intention of offering her his freshly fished water Pokemon, but he was eager to get rid of the Grass type he'd concussed in the treetops. "Poor little guy might have a concussion," he said, handing her the ball with the Snivy in it.
"He's very agile too. Flipping around like an acrobat!" Big Bee said. "I'd keep him, but i've got my hands full with this guy." He went to pat Taka, who snapped at his fingers loudly. Big Bee stuck his hands in his pockets instead. "Some new trainer is going to love him, I'm sure."

Dr. Bunya is grilling fresh fish over a portable hotplate as Big Bee arrives in the Starter Shack. "Nyyice work!" she says nicely, "Party time! Don't worry about concussions, Pokemon are nyaturally resilient!" She flips the Magikarp fillet on the grill and snatches up Snivy's Pokeball with a fang-toothed grin. "Ehehe~! Ashie's gonna love this little snyaake!"
She thanks you (in her way) and 25 BYTES appear nyaagically in your account.

A catgirl. She was a catgirl. Why was she a catgirl?
Keeping his judgements to himself, Finn approaches Dr. Bunya with two pokeballs nestled in the palm of his hand. They're dropped unceremoniously wherever she wants them.
"Got a uh..." He glances down at his palm, flicking through the Pokedex in his UI. "Charmander and Squirtle for you."
Emperor seems nervous around the professor's assistant, scrabbling up onto Finn's shoulder and tucking against his neck.
Offering up CHARMANDER and SQUIRTLE to Dr. Bunya. |

"Fresh fish contains lots of Vitamin B6," Bunya says, licking her lips as she grabs the Pokeballs from Finnegan Fjord . "If you eat a lot of it, your body makes lots and lots of melatonyan, which makes you sleeeeeepy." She yawns, flopping down on the counter and stretching her upper body out along the warm, woody surface.
"That's why cats," she yawns again, her words getting slower and fainter as she drifts into a happy, fish and sunbeam-fueled rest, "nyap so much. Either that," she trails off, unable to finish her lecture before sleep overtakes her.
When you next check your account, you notice that you are 50 BYTES richer.

A pokeball was slammed down next to the head of the sleeping woman.
"Dr. Catgirl! I got another salad for you!"
This time, it was the Turtwig that Allotta had caught earlier. She didn't want it! She just wanted violence! And money!

"How's it going, Doctor," Yggy said, sliding in behind the small yet busty woman ahead of him in line. He stood up on his tiptoes to see the Rare Doctor Bunya, looking very impressed. "Woah! She's younger than I thought she'd be!"
It was unknown whether this was actually a compliment or not. When it came to be his turn, Yggy handed over Chimchar's Pokeball with only the barest hint of nervousness. "Here you go! You don't have a Chimchar yet, right?" A slight twinge of guilt pricked at him. It's fine that I equipped it in a Skill Tree for a little while, isn't it? Like, the Prof can still take them slightly used? He'd needed it for the Cat Tower challenge, but now he had an epic Farfetch'd for Fighting moves instead!
He decided to omit that fact (just in case) and just wait for an <ERROR> popup if he'd done something wrong.

Bunya smatches up the Pokeballs from Allotta Bambooga and Yggy Br00ks. "Hmmm," she says, mumbling as she sniffs at the Chimchar ball. "This one smells used!" She exclaims, looking at the young trainer with long-lashed eyes full of shock and betrayal. "Nyat to worry, they all taste the same!" she says, the brief tension shattering like a piece of expensive glassware pushed off a kitchen counter.
She starts to gnaw at Turtwig's capsule with her sharp teeth, apparently forgetting how to open a Pokeball.

Emperor once again presents with suspicious anxiety when they close in on Dr. Bunya, so Finn picks him up by the scruff of his neck and sets him on his shoulder. He makes a big show of taking the other Piplup from his storage and placing the pokeball on Bunya's table.
He wasn't going to abandon Emperor just yet, even if this Piplup had kicked ass.
"Got another one for you. I started with one of these so I don't need it."

Snork! Dr. Bunya jerks her head off the table in a daze, continuing her conversation from the last time she'd seen Finnegan Fjord. "—or it's nyarcolepsy," she finishes, resting her head on one elbow. "Huh? Did something happen? Oh well, maybe it's my imaginyaation." She stretches, rolling the reject Piplup's Pokeball into her snack cooler.
Before you leave, the snoozing catgirl bolts up again as if just remembering something. "By the way, I hear there's an especially big fishie off the coast. Everyone's talking about it!" She wraps herself sneakily in her labcoat, rocking back in her folding chair with hungry anticipation. "Do me a favor and bring some back for me, won'tnya? Mama's gotta get her yumyums!"

"Here's another few for your 'lunch' Bunya," Big Bee said, laughing as he rolled the Sobble and Popplio across the counter to the fanged Doctor. "Just don't eat them too fast and get a stomach cramp, alright?" He laughed at the hilarious joke. There was no way the NPC was actually eating the Pokemon.
Right?

Manish stumbled into the Lab slightly singed and scratched while holding a hissing cat that is still swinging claws at him. “Please, take this. I really really really don’t want it. You need it, right? Like, I um, I think I saw that you needed one of these? Please. It’s trying to kill me.” The Litten gave another hiss a small flame shot out at Manish. He gave a welp and dropped the Litten on the table in front of Bunya and scrambled to pat out the flames while stumbling backwards out of the lab. “Yeah, um, yeah that’s uh, it’s now your problem, bye!” |
