Another few minutes passed and Aero was a bit bored. With her Rufflet still searching around for another Pokemon around the area, she has to stay where she was until he would come back. Until then, she took out her Fuecoco and played a small game of tic-tac-toe on the ground. And so far, her Fire Croc Pokemon was surprisingly winning at every game.
"What?! Again?!" Aero exclaimed as she saw that she lost another game. "Just what the heck is your luck with tic-tac-toe? And I thought you're a bit ditzy."
Her Fuecoco only responded with a happy cry as he waved his arms. She was frustrated, but she shrugged it off. At least she had some fun...
"CAW!!!"
Her eyes widened as she heard that familiar cry. "That must be Ruffy!"
She turned around and saw what her Rufflet dragged in.

Aero's smile quickly turned into a frown as she saw another Gothita at her feet. She groaned and turned to her Rufflet. "Let me rephrase it. Anything but Gothita! I already caught one and I rather not catch any dupes while we're here!"
She groaned again as she hung her head. Aero felt sorry about the wild Gothita, but she rather not waste any time with it. "Sorry, little gal. I know you want to fight, but I already have a Gothita with me. So... I'm sorry and I hope there is another trainer to catch you." With that, Aero and Ruffy left the wild Gothita as the former turned to her Pokemon. "Alright, Ruffy. One more time. Search around for wild Pokemon except for Gothita, okay?"
Her Rufflet cawed before he flew off again.

As she waited for her Rufflet to come back, Aero looked around the settlement nearby. It looked like one of those western cowboy towns she often saw in those old movies including comics. While she was uninterested in the theming, as long this game has a city or town of some sort, she was happy to come back to it after every quest or battle. Now if only they have a Pokemon Center or somewhere to heal her party...
"CAWWW!!!"
Aero quickly stood up once she heard her Rufflet's cry as she turned around to see him. "Hey! Did you find anything, Ruffy?"
Her Rufflet nodded and pointed below him. Aero looked down and saw...

After catching the Gothita, Aero grew more confident at this. Her Rufflet wasn't knocked out on their first try, the Gothita was nothing difficult about her... She thought her luck has turned around. However, she needed a full party before she could start doing something interesting at UNOVR. Variety was the key to success (as her Mom would say) and having Pokemon with different types should help her survive in several battles from events and PVPs ahead.
"Good job, Ruffy. Looks like you can do anything if you put your mind to it." Her Rufflet puffed his chest as if it was confident in his skills. "Well, don't get too overconfident. We're not done here yet. Can you go around this area again for another wild Pokemon nearby?"
Before she knew it, her Rufflet suddenly flew away with a confident caw. At least that was a yes to her...

Bullseye! That attack was enough to deal almost half of the Gothita's HP. If Rufflet wasn't much of a prankster jerk, he would be able to do anything if he put his mind to it. Not to mention this was worth the trouble of catching him. He was rare for a good reason. He could be her ace along with her Fuecoco if he stopped being a jerk to him and her future Pokemon. But if she wanted to be battle-ready, then she needed to knock that Gothita down a notch.
"Good job, Ruffy! Now use Wing Attack again! I'll try to catch it if it's gone red!"
Her Rufflet cried again before it did the said attack on the little Psychic-type.

A few minutes has passed since she let her Rufflet search around the settlement. Aero became a bit worried not only because he was a prankster, but there was a possibility of him being lost. Maybe she was a bit mean for her to order her Rufflet like that. She might apologize once he returned.
However, it seemed that it was unnecessary as she heard his cries coming toward her. She looked up and saw her Rufflet flying and behind him was a small black humanoid Pokemon that reminded her of those Gothic Lolita girls from those anime shows she watched. And it was a familiar one as she recalled the very same Pokemon from one of the games she played.
"Awesome! That's a Gothita! We have our Psychic-type!" Aero exclaimed in glee. "Alright, Ruffy! You better not go too rough on it! Use Wing Attack!"
Her Rufflet cried again before he used the said attack in an attempt to damage the little Psychic-type.

Once she arrived at the settlement, she decided to do something else that would benefit her search. She took out her Poke Ball and let out her Rufflet from it. While she wanted to take out her Fuecoco again, she knew that searching from the air would be much easier if she wanted to find a wild Pokemon a bit faster. The problem, however, was Rufflet himself. He was still a mischievous bird Pokemon who had the gall to knock out her Fuecoco. If she wanted to work together with him, she has to show some tough love.
"Alright, you little rascal. You better do a good job," Aero called out. "Otherwise, I won't give you berries for dinner!"
She then saw a bit of panic in her Rufflet's eyes as soon as she declared this. Considering the last time she took him out, he ended up pecking his fellow Fuecoco as his "thank-you" for burning him down just to catch him.
"I really mean it, Ruffy. Unless you want to battle with an empty stomach, you better do a good job, okay?"
And with that, he took off, not wanting to face her wrath. All that was left was to await his arrival...

Okay, her first Pokemon capture wasn't as she expected. Her Fuecoco got knocked out, the Rufflet she caught was a bit of a prankster, and she almost panicked if not for the shrine nearby. Regardless, she decided to change locations for her next search rather than staying in the steppes for long. She would return, though mostly to get payback and a bit of a catharsis. For now, she needed to fill up her party if she wanted to get by in UNOVR.
As usual, her party was fully healed and her location this time was near the only settlement in the game so far to her knowledge. This way, she would have an easier time to deal with in case her Fuecoco was injured again. Regardless, it was time for her to search another Pokemon again.

"Really? That's awesome!" She said in glee. "Don't worry. I won't be a burden to you. Besides, this is only a tutorial quest. We'll be fine!"Aero's eyes widened as she and Fuecoco found themselves in front of a familiar Pokemon inari called out. "Ah! You have a Bayleaf, too?! I did get one from a friend in HeartGold and it's still in my Pokemon HOME." Yet just as she touched the Pokemon, she noticed that it felt wet. Now that she touched it, Aero did notice its head was a bit rounder than a normal Bayleaf. A bit odd considering there were no regional forms of Bayleaf that she knew. Unless... "Is this Bayleaf's strange appearance part of UNOVR's feature? I have never seen a watery one before in HeartGold or any games after that."EDIT: Despite her attempts on being social, Aero was left off following the man in silence as they headed off to make their deliveries. It was a bit uneventful, but they managed to deliver the packages to another house by the hill with no problem and once she waved goodbye to the man, she was ready for one more tutorial and her game truly begins!

Aero was surprised at what Prince tapped on the prompt window. She thought that tapping >TELL ANOTHER STORY would help her move forward through the tutorial quest's story. But true to his words, that prompt was enough to move them forward with another set of conversations that wasn't a story this time. Regardless, it was enough for her to let out a sigh of relief. "Wow, I didn't know. Thanks!" Aero said. "Oh yeah... I almost forgot. My name is Aero. I'm new in this game, but I played a few Pokemon games starting with X."Sure, the mother was still saying some stuff, but she might as well start introducing herself before she forgot. EDIT: After some introductions, the two would continue listening to their mother's stories until they were given their own Running Shoes. In Aero's case, loafers fit with her school uniform look. After that, she parted ways with Prince and headed off to the next part of her tutorial. prince

Aero flinched when she heard all about inari's Charmander. She was definitely not a nice Charmander and she was a bit worried that she might bully her Fuecoco because he looked dumb. Regardless, she would never know unless she forced him to let him see her. "Oh... Well, okay. But it's a bit lonely to do a delivery quest alone. How about we should party up? I think we're heading to the same destination.""Craw! Craw!" Aero smiled to see her Fuecoco agreeing to her proposal. The more, the merrier! Although, she wondered if he would share the same sentiment. Besides, he looked a bit older than her and she wondered if she might be a nuisance to him.

Just as she could snore into snooze-land in the VR world, she noticed someone entering the house. It was a young man with a Magnemite who was dressed up like a prince from many fairy tales she heard from her (real-life) mother. From the looks of it, he seemed to be a player character and if he really was, she would be relieved that she wasn't alone in this tutorial quest any longer. "Uh, yeah. You can say that again," she replied while trying to keep her eyes open from listening to her (or rather, their) in-game mother. "Are you here for the tutorial quest, too? If so, I really need some company. This is going to take a while..."prince

While her Fuecoco gently nibbled on her arm, Aero nodded to inari. "Yep. I think it's from Scarlet or something. But he's too derpy not to have him!" And her words were true. She was happy hugging her Fuecoco and he returned with loving nibbles, which was something she has no problem with. "Ooh! A Charmander! I kind of got one in Pokemon X. Honestly, didn't have a chance to play those Kanto games, but I'm planning to when I have some allowance." She then looked around to find the said Pokemon. "Although, I'm surprised you haven't brought it out with you. A bit of a shame since Coco would have been good friends with your Charmander."

Aero knew how most Pokemon games started. Meet with her in-game mother before leaving home, pick a starter Pokemon, and headed off to her Pokemon journey. Sure, the first two would switch orders of the game start, but it was the same old, same old. So of course, she decided to head off to a player's house where the mother assigned for her in UNOVR was waiting. According to the quest window, she needed to say her farewells to her so she could get the Running Shoes. That should be easy, right?
Well, reality can be unpredictable and cruel and for Aero after she arrived at home, her in-game mother started telling stories. Long stories of her raising her "child", about her "father's" travels, and so on. Just listening all of it made her feel like she was stricken with the Sleep status condition. She wanted to finish this quest no matter what. But listening to her in-game mother reminded too much of her lectures. She might need some help, but where should she get one at this time?
Regardless, she hoped the game gave her something soon...

After healing up in the shrine, Aero didn't waste any time returning to the steppes where she found the wild Rufflet. With Fuecoco now back in tip-top shape, it was time for payback, Aero thought. So once she found the wild Rufflet again, she glared at it and growled at it.
"Alright, you little birdy! You overpower my partner the last time, but we're not going to underestimate you again!" She declared. "You ready for payback, Coco?"
"Craw!" Her Fuecoco growled, ready to get back into the battle. She knew it was too soon for him to battle after being revived, but he also shared her sentiments and wanted to be part of taking revenge against the Rufflet.
"Alright! Now use Round!"
