Our heroine, Ahuni GG (alias Honey Glaze), lives in Glenwood Town and has the ‘power’ to slip through dimensions, although it might not really be a power because she does it by accident. But hey, at least she met a nice guy there.

Honey’s first Pokemon, given to her by Professor Willow, was a Turtwig that, for lack of a better name, some people are calling Sap. I personally prefer the name Syrup, but since he’s a male Turtwig, he probably prefers Sap, so I’m sticking with that.

And yes, it’s THAT Professor Willow. At least, the two Professor Willows look remarkably alike.

Honey’s first battle was against a Pikachu in a red scarf that was harassing her parents. Sap won easily. Honey’s mother gave her Running Shoes as a present afterwards, and her father gave her an Exp. Share and new batteries for her clock.

Honey’s totally rival Percy owns a Cyndaquil named “Foe C” that can freeze time for short periods. Foe C beat Sap twice when he was weak, but then Honey came to him at full health, and Foe C tried to stall time at both the beginning and ending of the battle. (The name “Foe C” specifically comes from the game freezing up while “Foe Cyndaquil” was scrolling onto the screen.) Honey won that battle anyway.

I think Percy actually has a Celebi that was set on fire. That would explain why Foe C always looks like he’s about to set Percy’s pants alight.

We entered the second city, Chocco Town, and spoke to a woman that told us that Sap “seems neither happy nor sad. It sits on the balance…” Honey messed around with the PC for a while, but since Sap was the only Pokemon in her party, nothing came of that.

Honey visited Prof. Willow’s friend the Inventor (yes, that’s literally his given name in the game), who gave her a Pokedex and ten Poke Balls. He then asked Honey to escort him to the ruins in the Milkshake Swamp.

Ugh, milk.
