Almerad sat near the back of the helicopter, eyeing the others with him, a frown on his face before leaning towards Silas who's seated on his lap.

"Sending newly recruited people to fight Pokemon that they can't even fight, telling bad advices, and here they keep complaining why those 'mega Pokemon' are always troublesome." Silas boos a little in agreement, the two watching out the side to see the jungle they'll be dropped off on. "Well, if we get into a troublesome situation, they'll just have to be bait. Man did imply only one person survives and I won't being the second."

Almerad finally sits up straight though his posture seem still relaxed as he looks back at the other cadets, "So what IS there in Area 4? Other than that Venusaur of course, the Pokemon can't be too strong right? I mean, they gave us so much boosts, we can't possibly get in trouble."

And everything goes wrong. Pokémon attack the helicopter viciously and everyone except you dies. The cadets are eaten and the helicopter crashes and is on the verge of exploding. You crashed in an unknown jungle in area 4.The only thing left aside from your Pokémon and your bag are 3 things. However, you have only enough time to take 1.
The things are:

1. A jungle survival guide
2. A pokeball (it might not be filled)
3. A set of TMs (no one uses them due to MOVESHARK27 but still usable!)

The plane is about to crash! Chose wisely

Almerad coughs, shakily standing up and dusting off his clothes before looking at the wreckage around him and the leftover bodies of the cadets. How the hell is he supposed to feel?! Annoyed? Angered? Terrified? "Those idiots could have at LEAST survive until the boss! Now they're useless, agh!" Annoyance it is.

He does a quick look through, knowing the leaking gas will cause an explosion soon and he'd rather bite his own ankle than get hit with that. Eyes landing on the three items, he does a quick think through before nabbing the pokeball and rushing out of the explosion radius, Silas in tow.

"I hope there's something useful in here but since it probably belongs to one of the cadets, I won't get my hopes up..."

You use the pokeball. A Pokémon comes out.

It’s a starly! It looks for it’s trainer, unaware he or she perished in the fire. You’re it’s trainer now. Another piece of good news is that 1 page of the jungle survival guide survived too. It’s Burnt but this is what you can make up from it.

**Page 24: "Navigating the Pokémon Jungle - Tips for Survival"**

In the dense and vibrant Pokémon jungles, trainers need to be prepared for the challenges that await. Here are some essential tips for navigating and surviving in this lush environment:

**1. Study Your Surroundings:**
- Take time to observe the jungle's flora and fauna. Knowing the local plant life and the types of Pokémon that inhabit the area can be invaluable.

**2. Pack Essentials:**
- Always carry a backpack with supplies like Poké Balls, Potions, and Berries. You may encounter rare Pokémon or unexpected challenges that require your preparedness.

**3. Stay Hydrated:**
- The jungle can be hot and humid. Bring plenty of water and refillable containers to stay hydrated throughout your journey.

**4. Trust Your Pokémon:**
- Your Pokémon are your companions and protectors. Trust their instincts; they often sense danger before you do.

**5. Be Mindful of Pokémon Calls:**
- Listen for the sounds of nearby Pokémon. Some might be trying to communicate or warn you of danger.

**6. Avoid Quick Vines and Thorny Bushes:**
- Jungle vines can be unstable, and thorny bushes can cause injuries. Proceed with caution and use your Pokémon to clear a safe path.

**7. Build a Camp Safely:**
- If you need to rest or spend the night, choose a location away from potential hazards. Make a fire for warmth and protection, but be respectful of the environment.

**8. Use Berries Wisely:**
- Jungle berries can be a valuable food source, but not all are safe to eat. Consult your guidebook or a trusted Pokémon expert to identify edible varieties.

**9. Watch for Tricky Traps:**
- Some Pokémon in the jungle are known for setting traps. Keep an eye out for signs of deception and use caution when approaching unfamiliar creatures.

**10. Capture Memories:**
- Document your journey with a journal or camera. You might encounter rare Pokémon or witness breathtaking sights worth remembering.

Remember that jungle exploration can be both thrilling and challenging. Respect the natural world and the Pokémon that call it home, and you'll have a rewarding adventure in this vibrant ecosystem.

What will you do?

"I guess you're not too bad?" The poor bird was spooked by the explosion so Almerad let's the thing perch on his hat. On the meanwhile, he reads through the burnt page of the survival guide, not because he think he needs it, he was a jungle boy, he just...thought it was a good reminder.

"Okay...Silas, how about you help me watch our surroundings with...our new member here. At least before I return the fella back to the cadets so she gets a new owner," Almerad said before looking off at a direction opposite of the crash. He clicks his tongue, "Mother always told me that if I ever get lost, I need to find a water source, so at least we can try that first...and try not to die. Come on Silas."

The Phantump follows along with it's owner as Almerad hopes they'll find something before night comes.

You trudge through the night… trying to find a place to sleep. Suddenly a horde of Pokémon attack you. They see you only as one thing, dinner. You only know that your Pokémon are stronger due to the LV increaser. However, can you really survive? This is a horde battle. Where multiple Pokémon attack you at once. Looking at your 3 pokemon, can you do it?

---

Almerad's pokemon pants heavily, dealing and receiving blows as they fought away the horde. Bruises covers their body but they successfully defeating the horde, the fight have left them drained.

"Can't believe little buggers like them can be so strong...I guess now I get what those people were talking about when they say this place is dangerous. Even the Pokemon at my place weren't these aggressive." He remarks as he returns all of his Pokemon into his balls. Staring at the sky, Almerad noticed it's already turned dark and he grimaced. "Well, I expected not finding my way in a day..."

With as much agility he can, Almerad climbs up one of the trees and sat on one of the branch. It's not a good shelter, but at least he'll be able to keep himself safe if there's any danger on the ground. "Hope tomorrow I will be better. This was a horrible first day."[/i]

You wake up in an unknown place. A frog-themed room for people can be a whimsical and playful space designed with frog-inspired decor and elements. HeThe walls of the room are painted in a soothing shade of pond green, creating a calming atmosphere. Large, lifelike frog murals adorn the walls, making it feel like you're in a lush, frog-filled wetland. The centerpiece of the room is a custom-made frog-shaped bed, complete with green lily pad-shaped bedding. Soft, plush frog-shaped pillows are scattered around the bed for added comfort.The room is illuminated by hanging lily pad-shaped pendant lights that cast a gentle, warm glow. Frog-shaped wall sconces also provide soft, ambient lighting.A large bookshelf in one corner of the room holds a collection of frog-themed books, from frog biology to frog folklore. A man appears in a frog suit and introduces himself as the frog man. He says he’s looking for the best frog Pokémon. Do you trust him?

'Who the hell is this guys!?' Almerad stares in bewilderment at the completely different place he woke up to. Ignoring how the man even got him here without waking him up, like hell he's going to trust a stranger that just kidnapped him!

Instead of replying, Almerad grabs hold of his pokeball and sends out Silas, cautious and not knowing what to do, all he knows is this person could be a threat...though it is better than being stuck in the middle of the jungle. "And why should I listen to you..? Who are you anyways, why bring me here?"
