RE: Lovely Charming Villain - Jessie's Adventures in Sinnoh, a CMT Playthrough!
I have a doubt: how will already evolved members of your team (from suggestions) be introduced to the game? Will you have a Lv1 Porygon and then evolve it twice and start with a Lv1 Porgygon-Z, a Lv1 Yanmega (if that's possible) or will you train them from their basic forms and then somehow you decide when it's time or not to evolve them?

RE: Lovely Charming Villain - Jessie's Adventures in Sinnoh, a CMT Playthrough!
Usually, in CMTs, whenever you get the basic form of the Pokemon suggested, you add it to the team and train it alongside the others. Sooner or later, it will evolve.
And Yanma evolves the level after you decide to give it Ancientpower (which is 40 normally, if I remember correctly).

Like Chaos Jackal said, I'll simply get the basic versions of the Pokémon when I can and then evolve as normal throughout playthrough. For all intents and purposes, basic and evolved versions all count as the same Pokémon.
Also, since most people didn't suggest nicknames for their suggestions, I'll actually be playing through nameless. In some ways, I guess that's more fitting anyway.

Machamp and Piplup made it in. My work here is done.
Can't wait to read the playthrough! This is the first CMT I've followed (understandably), so maybe this will get me hooked on them. Maybe...

Since the run will be starting soon, it's time for me to post up a Prologue to set the tone and the beginning of the story.
This is just flavour; the run itself hasn't started yet. I've you've been following along with Team Rocket's Revenge, this Prologue is the same as that Epilogue, so there's no need to read both.
And so it begins! I plan on starting the run soon, so expect Chapter 1 to be posted sometime in the next few days, perhaps even tomorrow.

My hair was back to its usual magenta, green earrings in place, new uniform shining brightly in the dim lighting of Giovanni's office. I wasn't often called to the boss's office in person, but he asked to see me personally on my return to HQ from my journeys throughout Kalos, and I was happy to oblige. I hadn't seen James since he met with the Boss a couple days ago and had been anxiously awaiting my own meeting so that I could learn his whereabouts. Hopefully, once this meeting was done and over with, we would just be able to go back to working together again, the two of us and Meowth. I hadn't realized it much while I was gone, but I missed both of them and the carefree lifestyle we had together, following the twerp.
Giovanni was facing away from me, leaning back in his chair as he finished a phone call, so I stood at attention, waiting my turn. Finally, he hung up and turned around to look at me, disgust flashing across his face. "We got the news weeks ago that the Team Flare headquarters had been destroyed, why did it take you so long to get back?"
"I'm sorry, sir, but I had a few things I wanted to finish before I left, knowing that I'd likely never be able to show my face there again. Hopefully they'll be worth the time to you." I reached into the pocket of my white skirt and pulled out 3 Pokéballs, one yellow and blue, one dark green, and the last a traditional white and red.
Giovanni reached forward and grabbed the first one, fingering it gently. "I take it one of these is the Legendary Pokémon controlled by Team Flare?"
"Yes, sir, the one you're holding. The other two may be a bit more... surprising."
"This one?" He pointed at the green ball.
"Another Legendary Pokémon of Kalos called Zygarde. I had heard snippets about it while on my journeys, mostly rumours, but I was able to piece together its location once I had access to The Champion's files."
"And the other?"
I smirked. "An old friend of yours. He seems to have softened considerably since when he was last under your control, but I'm sure that you can change that, especially with the help of this Mewtownite."
"Mewtwo has a Mega Stone?" Giovanni raised his eyebrows. "Intriguing indeed."
"I have some others, too, though you'll need to find your own Pokémon to use them with," I continued, dumping the rest of the mega stones I'd found onto his table. "I guess you'll want this, too." I stripped off the Key Stone bracelet and handed it over as well.
Giovanni leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers and eying me closely. "I must admit, you've done much better on this mission than I ever could have hoped for. You managed to single-handedly take down Team Flare and captured these wonderful Pokémon for me, all while learning the details of Mega Evolution and becoming the Kalos League Champion. I never would have thought you'd be capable of such great things; truly, you have exceeded my expectations."
I basked in the gratitude, smiling warmly. "Thank you, sir, it was a pleasure." It was the warmest praise I'd ever heard from the man.
"In fact, you've done so well that I have decided to send you on another mission.
My heart sunk. "Another mission... sir?" I had hoped to go back to normal, working with James and Meowth. Would I instead be rewarded with anotehr trip off to nowhere to act as a spy for Team Rocket?
"I've recently received word of another gang springing up in the Sinnoh region. They call themselves Team Galactic. I'm... concerned about the danger they might pose to us." He grinned. "You've proven yourself to be such a capable actress and Pokémon Trainer; I have no doubts about your abilities to complete your task."
"And what will my task be, sir?" I swallowed uneasily.
"I've arranged for you to take the place of a young woman named Dawn who will be starting out as a new Trainer from the Sinnoh town of Twinleaf. Once again, you'll be playing the role of a young Pokémon Trainer off on her first adventures, catching Pokémon battling the Pokémon League. And I will expect you to capture your own Pokémon this time; you've proven yourself capable, so there will be no more handouts. Of course, you must also find out what information you can about this Team Galactic and see what you can do to disrupt their activities, just don't do anything to get yourself caught. James will also be there; I sent him ahead for you to help build up your cover. Do try to make sure he stays out of trouble, will you?"
I bowed deeply. "I will be happy to oblige, sir."
"Good! Now get going. My secretary will give you your debriefing packet and you can read it on the way. Your plane leaves in an hour." Giovanni turned back around in his chair, clearly dismissing me. Looks like I'll be back on the road as a Trainer once again...

RE: Lovely Charming Villain: Jessie's Adventures in Sinnoh - Prologue
Current Team:
Piplup - Lv. 6
Highlights/Notes/Thoughts:
Wooooo, game start! Almost all of this is plot so not much happened. My Piplup is serious so... that's okay I guess. We'll kick some ass. Seriously.
DNA gets to be Professor Rowan as a homage to his Pearl CMT which got me in the mood to playing through 4th gen again and pretty much revitalized the idea of Playthroughs in the forum again otherwise I likely wouldn't have bothered posting these stories. I forgot how hilariously senile he is, though, and how cheesy the opening of this game is.
I ended up opting for James as Barry and Ash as Lucas since it seemed more fitting. I like the idea of James getting scolded from basically just prancing around Kalos and accomplishing nothing as Shauna, so taking a more excited, active role in this one. Besides, Barry gets more screentime than Lucas and I'd rather see more Jessie/James interactivity than Jessie/Ash.
Anyway, game start, gogogogogo~
Chapter 1: A New Region & New Friends
Sinnoh. Looking out over the region from the window of Team Rocket's private jet, it looked cold and mountainous, a far cry from the fashionable cities of Kalos. I shivered in my seat and took another sip of my tea, as if I could already feel the cold seeping in through the plane. Though, in reality, the shivering was more likely because of nerves than any mysterious cold.
Before I'd started my first travels as a Pokémon Trainer in Kalos, I didn't even know if I'd be able to succeed. 8 badges and a League Championship later, I was much more confident in my abilities, but I felt anxious nonetheless. Even though I had more confidence regarding Pokémon training, playing another role was taxing to say the least. I'd also have the additional complications of being forced to pretend that I was a new trainer, learning how to catch Pokémon, battle weaklings, pretending to be oh, so interested when some youngster in shorts decides to tell me how potions and Pokéballs work.
There was another complication, too, one I was reminded of by the newspaper sitting in front of me. Splashed on the front page was a huge photo of me from the celebratory event in Lumiose City with the headline "Kalos Champion Disappears! Foul Play or Foul Player?" After defeating Team Flare and winning the League, I'd become something of a celebrity in Kalos and they didn't seem to be taking kindly to my disappearance, digging into my "past" and finding the cheaply-setup cover stories that Team Rocket had put in place to cover my tracks. No one had yet figured out where I went and who I really am, but the speculation was wild and reporters and investigators were traveling in search of me, so I'd have to be extra careful to keep my identity hidden.
The one bright side was that I would be seeing James again. Although he'd joined me in Kalos, he seemed to take the entire mission as a joke, and spent more time playing dress-up and hanging around with the other loser twerps, making me do all of the work. I couldn't help but wonder how his meeting with Giovanni went, and how he'd be doing this time. Though it would be good to see him again no matter what.
The plane landed at a small airport on the western outskirts of Sinnoh and I was driven to the small town of Twinleaf where I'd be starting my journey. James and Cassidy would be there waiting for me, cover already in place. I prepared my appearance in the airport before we left, dressing warmly in a thick red dress with pink boots, a white scarf, and a matching hat. My hair had already been dyed to a deep, slate grey and restyled in a half ponytail that was partially hidden by the hat. I looked pretty fabulous, if I do say so, but I would miss the boutiques of Kalos.
Not wanting to face Cassidy's wrath quite yet, I snuck up the stairs of my home and plopped down onto the bed, wondering how long I'd have to be living here before I'd be able to leave. I turned on the TV and started flipping through channels, but suddenly the door to my room flew open and James ran in.
I would have recognized my long-term partner anywhere, but he really went all out in his costuming this time. His hair was bleached blond and styled up in strange, horn-like curves and he was dressed warmly in jeans, a woolen orange and white sweater, and a long green scarf. "There you are!" He smiled. "I've been here for a week or so already, but Giovanni assured me you'd be coming soon."
I let out a sigh of relief at seeing him and pulled him in for a hug. "It's so good to see you again."
"Same, I've missed you." He pulled back from the hug and gestured at the TV. "I see you've seen Professor DNA. He's the head professor in this region and the one we'll be getting our Pokémon from before we leave. I've learned a bit about him since I've come here. He's based out of Sandgem now, but until recently he was studying abroad in Kanto with our old friend Professor Oak. Kind of a stern guy, really, but with a weird sense of humour."
I gave James and inquisitive look. "My, you've turned rather serious since I saw you last."
James grinned sheepishly and ran a hand through his hair. "The Boss kind of chewed me out after how useless I was in the last mission. I don't plan on letting you do all the work this time, Jess. Anyway, we should get started. This town's already bored the crap out of me. I understand picking a small town for us to live in so that our sudden move-in doesn't stand out, but geez, there's nothing to do here. I can't wait to train some Pokémon!" Without waiting for a reply, he left my room, flying down the stairs as fast as he barged in. I chuckled at his enthusiasm and followed after him.
Cassidy was sitting downstairs on the couch, munching on some popcorn and staring at the TV. She rolled her eyes when she saw me come down. "Don't even talk to me. I am so over babysitting for you on these stupid missions. Just go follow James and do whatever the hell you need to do and leave me out of it."
I shrugged and ignored her, heading out of the house and into my new hometown. It was small, with a patch of water to the south and small snowdrifts everywhere. According to my notes, the house kitty-corner to mine was where James was supposed to live, so I went to see if he was there when he suddenly opened the door and bumped into me as he was coming out, seemingly in a rush to get going. I popped into his house just long enough to snicker at Butch who had gotten James's parenting duty then followed the path where James headed, leaving the town to the north.
We had met back up and were just about to head towards Sandgem when Professor DNA himself appeared, scolding us for going into the tall grass without having any Pokémon. How else did he expect us to be able to find him? I was about to ask him, but looked over and saw him muttering to himself. My last professor was a furry, was this one going to be a nutjob? I looked over at James worryingly.
"You two really love Pokémon, don't you?" The Professor asked us both as he came out of his mumbled reverie. We both nodded, which only prompted him to ask us again. Yeah, Professor DNA surely was a few slices short of a loaf, poor old guy.
James, however, didn't seem to notice or care. "You can ask a hundred times!" he shouted. "The answer will never change! We'll both answer a hundred time, we love Pokémon!"
"To be honest, it kind of worries me what people like you would do with Pokémon."
To be honest, it kind of worries me what an old, senile guy like you would do with Pokémon... I bit back my retort. I had to be a good little girl.
James took the rebuke more seriously, "Well, I, uh... if you won't give one to me, then give one to Jessie!"
"What?" I sputtered, giving James a weird look. He was just talking about how he wasn't going to pin all the work on me this time!
Professor DNA seemed to feel it was a good answer, though, showcasing James's spirit. "Very well, then! I will entrust you two with Pokémon!" I breathed a sigh of relief. "However! You must promise me that you never recklessly endanger yourselves again."
He then furrowed his brow and starting fumbling around in his pockets muttering to himself again. Wow, this guy really was something else. He offered to give us Pokémon... but then he lost them.
"Professor!"
I looked up at the kid running down the path and had to stifle a curse. No way. It couldn't be.
Ash Ketchum was running towards us lugging a huge briefcase. Somehow, the twerp had managed to follow me here from Kalos.
"Professor DNA!" Ash stopped for breath when he finally reached it, doubling over with exertion. "You left your briefcase behind at the lake." I somehow wasn't surprised. The old man would probably forget to put on pants if it weren't for the chilly wind between his legs.
"Ah, there it is!" The Professor chuckled. "Nice work, Ash. I was just about to entrust these two with their own Pokémon."
"Wha?!" Ash replied and I sucked in a breath, turning the other way. Did he recognize me? But I needn't have fear. "These Pokémon are crucial," the twerp protested, "and you're just going to give them away?"
"You see, my boy...." Professor DNA said, a twinkle in his eye, "there comes a time when people should meet Pokémon..." He smiled then looked over at us. "Go on! Open the briefcase and choose a Pokémon!"
"I can't believe it!" James shouted, cheering. "I'm so happy now that I can't keep a straight face!"
James let me go first, so I walked closer to the professor, trying to keep my face hidden from Ash, and peered into the briefcase to select a Pokéball. There were three Pokémon available... a monkey that was on fire, a green dinosaur thing with a leaf growing out of it's head... and the cutest, more adorable little blue penguin that I'd ever seen! I quickly snatched up the penguin's Pokéball, holding it tight to my chest. James picked the dino thing.
"Very fine choices!" DNA boomed. "If you have any troubles, come see me at my lab in Sandgem. Follow me lad!" And without another word he walked off through the grass, Ash lugging the briefcase as he followed along behind him.
"Heh, what do you know. The old coot was quite a bit nicer than I thought he'd be."
"And a bit more forgetful, too," I added. "Perhaps he didn't take his medication this morning."
James smirked. "So, what do you think... would you be up for our first battle?"
I shrugged. "Sure, may as well get a feel for our new Pokémon. It's on!"
I started out attacking, using the only offensive move my new Piplup seemed to have: Pound. James took a different route, repeatedly having his Pokémon, which was apparently called Turtwig, up its own defenses. Unfortunately for him, his strategy only delayed the inevitable. My attacks were doing less and less damage, but they were still hurting, and by the time James went on the offensive, it was too late.
"Wow, quite a battle!" James exclaimed as he withdrew his knocked-out Turtwig. "I can see how you managed to become a Champion, beating me handily even with a new, weak Pokémon. We should probably head back home and rest up before we head out."
I didn't feel like seeing Cassidy again, but I wanted a break, too, so I agreed, and we both turned around to head back to our homes. She ignored me the entire time, munching on her popcorn and watching her soap operas, but I rested up and grabbed some food from the fridge to make a snack. Soon I'd be on the road and starting my journey.

"Wha?!" Ash replied and I sucked in a breath, turning the other way. Did he recognize me? But I needn't have fear. "These Pokémon are crucial," the twerp protested, "and you're just going to give them away?"
"You see, my boy...." Professor DNA said, a twinkle in his eye, "there comes a time when people should meet Pokémon..." He smiled then looked over at us. "Go on! Open the briefcase and choose a Pokémon!"
"I can't believe it!" James shouted, cheering. "I'm so happy now that I can't keep a straight face!"
James let me go first, so I walked closer to the professor, trying to keep my face hidden from Ash, and peered into the briefcase to select a Pokéball. There were three Pokémon available... a monkey that was on fire, a green dinosaur thing with a leaf growing out of it's head... and the cutest, more adorable little blue penguin that I'd ever seen! I quickly snatched up the penguin's Pokéball, holding it tight to my chest. James picked the dino thing.
"Very fine choices!" DNA boomed. "If you have any troubles, come see me at my lab in Sandgem. Follow me lad!" And without another word he walked off through the grass, Ash lugging the briefcase as he followed along behind him.
"Heh, what do you know. The old coot was quite a bit nicer than I thought he'd be."
"And a bit more forgetful, too," I added. "Perhaps he didn't take his medication this morning."
James smirked. "So, what do you think... would you be up for our first battle?"
I shrugged. "Sure, may as well get a feel for our new Pokémon. It's on!"
I started out attacking, using the only offensive move my new Piplup seemed to have: Pound. James took a different route, repeatedly having his Pokémon, which was apparently called Turtwig, up its own defenses. Unfortunately for him, his strategy only delayed the inevitable. My attacks were doing less and less damage, but they were still hurting, and by the time James went on the offensive, it was too late.
"Wow, quite a battle!" James exclaimed as he withdrew his knocked-out Turtwig. "I can see how you managed to become a Champion, beating me handily even with a new, weak Pokémon. We should probably head back home and rest up before we head out."
I didn't feel like seeing Cassidy again, but I wanted a break, too, so I agreed, and we both turned around to head back to our homes. She ignored me the entire time, munching on her popcorn and watching her soap operas, but I rested up and grabbed some food from the fridge to make a snack. Soon I'd be on the road and starting my journey.
Current Team:
Piplup - Lv. 6
Highlights/Notes/Thoughts:
Wooooo, game start! Almost all of this is plot so not much happened. My Piplup is serious so... that's okay I guess. We'll kick some ass. Seriously.
DNA gets to be Professor Rowan as a homage to his Pearl CMT which got me in the mood to playing through 4th gen again and pretty much revitalized the idea of Playthroughs in the forum again otherwise I likely wouldn't have bothered posting these stories. I forgot how hilariously senile he is, though, and how cheesy the opening of this game is.
I ended up opting for James as Barry and Ash as Lucas since it seemed more fitting. I like the idea of James getting scolded from basically just prancing around Kalos and accomplishing nothing as Shauna, so taking a more excited, active role in this one. Besides, Barry gets more screentime than Lucas and I'd rather see more Jessie/James interactivity than Jessie/Ash.
Anyway, game start, gogogogogo~
RE: Lovely Charming Villain: Jessie's Adventures in Sinnoh - Chapter 1
I'm working on playing through the sections of the next chapter now, just posting now because...
Okay, so, I was looking through Bulbapedia to find the locations of all the Pokémon I'm supposed to be catching; I kind of made mental notes earlier but now that I'm playing I actually want to know which routes and such to make sure I catch them ASAP. So as I'm investigating this, I click on the entry for the Great Marsh for Yanma....
I had totally forgotten the Great Marsh was the name of Sinnoh's Safari Zone. I don't think I've ever actually successfully captured anything in the Safari Zone. So much regret. -_-;

RE: Lovely Charming Villain: Jessie's Adventures in Sinnoh - Chapter 1
It took me weeks after weeks to get a Skorupi in my run.
...Honestly, if you don't get lucky enough after a few days, you may just want to consider trading a Yanma over.

Or you could get another flying Pokémon, like Starapter or Altaria on your team

RE: Lovely Charming Villain: Jessie's Adventures in Sinnoh - Chapter 1
I don't have a Yanma on another game; I've never played with it before and I'm not a Pokédex person.
If it ends up being really terrible, I might swap out to a different Pokémon, otherwise I guess I'm just in for the long haul.

RE: Lovely Charming Villain: Jessie's Adventures in Sinnoh - Chapter 1
That's also why I asked how were you going to obtain Porygon-Z and Yanmega: not every one of them are available right at the start and since you said you have your husband's DS you can trade, I was wondering if you would do this or only obtain and evolve them when available!

RE: Lovely Charming Villain: Jessie's Adventures in Sinnoh - Chapter 1
Husband's DS is just for the purpose of trade evolutions and stuff. I know I won't be able to get some Pokémon until later in the game, but I plan on making up for the smaller team by leveling up more earlier on. I'll be taking on Roark shortly with just Prinplup, wooo~

Update, woo~
Current Team:
Piplup - Lv. 9 (? I think that's how high he was at that point)
HM Starly - Lv. 2
Highlights/Notes/Thoughts:
I'm actually further than this, but I forgot how much space plot stuff takes up and I didn't want the chapter to be too long so I cut it off here. EXPECT MORE ADVENTURES SOON.
Also, TwistedCyrus has green hair in this story because I felt it would be more appropriate than blue, being a Turtwig and all.
Otherwise I don't really have all too much to say yet because nothing much has actually happened aside from derp fighting and mashing the A button through plot.
However, I do have an announcement....
TEAM CHANGE
The more I think about it, the more I'm dreading trying to capture a Yanma (stupid Safari Zone, mumblegrumble), so I've changed my mind and will be going with Dusknoir instead, who was the other contender to fill that space.
Update, woo~
Chapter 2: Ash is a Derp and Jessie gets a Pokédex
I'd checked and double-checked my bags before heading back out to the route, making sure I was ready to go so I wouldn't have to come back here again if I could avoid it at all. Everything seemed fine, though, so I left the house and made my way north, coming across James again.
"Jessie, over here!" he shouted, waving his arms. I followed him up onto the path but instead of heading east towards the next town, he turned and started heading west towards a grove of trees.
I raised an eyebrow. "James, where are you going? The town is the other way."
He pulled me in close and whispered into my ear. "I heard a Legendary Pokémon could be found in these woods; come on, let's go catch it for the boss!"
"We don't even have any Poké Ba--" I started protesting, but James would hear none of it. Instead, he grabbed me by the arm and dragged me through the trees to the local lake, Lake Verity if I recalled the maps correctly. Once my eyes adjusted to the gloom, I could make out the shore of a large body of water in the trees. I didn't see any Legendary Pokémon, but I could make out a strange, solitary man with bright green hair standing at the water's edge talking to himself.
"...The flowing time... The expanding space... I will make it all mine one day... TwistedTurtwig is my name. Remember it... Until then, sleep while you can, legendary Pokémon of the lake bed...."
"Turtwig?" I nudged James, whispering in a teasing voice. "Is that your Pokémon?"
"No way!" James wailed quietly. "I have no idea who he is."
"I hope he's not a furry like that professor from Kalos..."
While we bickered, the man left his place and made to exit the lake area, ordering us to step aside so he could leave. We did, quickly, and I got one last look at his grim, determined face as he made his way through the trees.
I pursed my lips. "What a weirdo."
"Yeah, and it doesn't look there there's a legendary Pokémon here now anyway," James pouted. "I guess we should just get going, then. Race you to Sandgem!"
"W-Wait!" I cried out, but James was already gone, off like a rocket. I sighed, walking off after him. I would have rather walked together towards the next town, taking some time to talk, but he was just too eager. Oh well, perhaps later.
Piplup and I made our way through the grass alone to neighboring Sandgem, beating up a few wild Pokémon as we went. When we reached the town limits, who should spot me coming in but... Ash Ketchum. Again. Of course. I would never be able to avoid this kid.
"Hi!" He shouted at me, waving. "You're Jessie, right? The Professor told me your name." He smiled. "It's funny, because recently I was spending some time in Kalos and there was another trainer I met there named Jessie..."
I froze, sweat trickling down my face despite the cold.
"... of course, you don't look anything like her, but it's still a funny coincidence, isn't it? Two Jessies?"
I almost fell over in gratitude. Ash was too dumb for his own good, but then, he'd always been fooled by my costumes before, so I really shouldn't have been surprised. "Yes, that's funny indeed," I forced myself to say with a small giggle.
"My name is Ash, and I'm actually from Pallet Town. I'm training to become a Pokémon Master but I'm taking a break from traveling for a bit to work with Professor DNA and learn more about Pokémon." He scratched his nose. "Speaking of the professor, let me show you to his lab!"
Ash led me over there right as James was leaving. We waved to each other, but he was already heading out of town. Such a rush. Once inside the lab, I saw a few assistants running around and also Professor DNA himself sitting in the back and playing around with what looked like some kind of video game system. He looked up at the sound of my approach.
"Well, well, look who’s here. Jessie, was it? Let’s have a look at your Pokémon."
"Of course, Professor." I pulled the Poké Ball off my belt and handed it to him, watching as he inspected the ball, flipping it around and turning it upside down.
"… Hmm… I see…" he muttered to himself. "This Pokémon seems to be rather happy. Hm!" He smiled and handed the ball back to me. "Entrusting you with that Piplup was no mistake, it seems! Well, would you like to give it a nickname?"
A nickname? That would probably confused me just as much as the Pokémon. "No thank you, sir."
It didn't seem like he cared much about my answer, though, as he had already sat down and was stroking his beard thoughtfully, looking up at ceiling. "When I first saw you two about to step into the tall grass without Pokémon, I was shocked. I was astounded by these foolhardy children. But now, you’ve astounded me in an entirely different way. Already, there is a bond growing between you and that Pokémon. I feel privileged to have met you. I’m sure Piplup feels the same way about you. That’s why I’ll ask you to cherish that Piplup of yours."
I smiled and nodded, wondering where he was going with this.
"Er-hem! Let’s move on to the main topic. There is something I want you to do for me. Allow me to properly introduce myself first. My name, as you know, is DNA. I study Pokémon. First of all, I want to know exactly what kinds of Pokémon live in the Sinnoh region. To do so, it is necessary to collect data using the Pokédex. This is what I wish to ask of you. I want to entrust you with this Pokédex. Will you use it to record data on all the Pokémon in Sinnoh for me?"
I took the Pokédex handed to me and slipped it into my bag. A very useful tool; I'd gotten used to having one in Kalos, but that region's 'dex didn't work over here and I'd felt lost without it. I really didn't want to record data on Pokémon for this old fogey, but I didn't think he'd let me keep the 'dex if I said no, so I quickly agreed.
"Hm! Good answer! That Pokédex is a very high-tech device. It will automatically record data on every kind of Pokémon you encounter. Jessie, I ask that you go everywhere and meet every kind of Pokémon in this region!"
"I'll do my best, sir," I said, forcing out a smile.
"When you walked up Route 201 with your Pokémon, what did you feel? I’ve lived for 60 long years. Even now, I get a thrill when I’m with a Pokémon. Now, you should know that there are countless Pokémon in this world. That means there are just as many thrills waiting for you out there! Now go! Jessie, your grand adventure begins right now!"
It seemed the interview was done and I'd passed. I breathed a sigh of relief and headed out the door, only to sigh again when I saw Ash following me. He insisted on showing me around Sandgem, as if I'd never seen a small, dinky town before. Unlike Kalos, PokéMarts were separate buildings here, but otherwise most things were the same as other towns, including the red roofed PokéCenters for free healing and cheap logging.
When we'd finally seen everything in Sandgem, a quick tour that took a few minutes at most, Ash turned to me suddenly. "Oh, yeah, right! Jessie... You should let your family know you're helping Prof. Rowan put together his Pokédex. Sometimes, you have to go far away, so you should let someone know. Oh, but first, go heal up your Pokémon at the Pokémon Center. You'll be safe then. OK, be seeing you!"
I'd finally shook Ash free. After he walked off, I headed to the PC myself to heal up Piplup like he suggested and grabbed a quick bite to eat. I also stopped by the PokéMart to grab a few PokéBalls. I debated going on right away, but I remembered what Ash had said about going home to tell my mom and figured I should at least make a pretense of it, for cover if nothing else. At least it wasn't far.
I'd just entered the grass on the way back to Twinleaf when a wild Starly swooped down from above. I was about to kick the crap out of it, but then I remembered that I finally had Poké Balls, so I tossed one instead, capturing the bird in a single toss. It would be weak for battling, but would serve me well to fly me around like I'd used my Fletchling for back in Kalos, so I tossed the Poké Ball on my belt and continued on my way.
Cassidy gave me a dark look from the couch when I entered the house. "What are you doing back here? I thought you were going on your Pokémon journey. Did you fail already?"
I rolled my eyes at her. "Don't you know, sweet mother, that all good girls come to tell their mothers once they've been given a Pokédex and a mission? Relax, I just came in for some lemonade and to keep up cover; I'll be out of your hair soon."
As I reached for the jug in the fridge, the door slammed open again and Butch ran into the room, skirt and all. "Cassidy! Jessie! Have either of you seen James?" he called out in his high-pitched falsetto. "I got a package from headqu-- I mean, from his beloved grandfather that he must have. Jessie, would you be a dear and give it to him?"
"Sure." I took the package from him, wondering what they would have sent James and not me, fighting back an irrational desire to keep it for myself. There was no need; James would tell me when he opened it and if it was important, I'd know. I left the door right after Butch, ready to get back past Sandgem and on my way through Sinnoh.
I'd checked and double-checked my bags before heading back out to the route, making sure I was ready to go so I wouldn't have to come back here again if I could avoid it at all. Everything seemed fine, though, so I left the house and made my way north, coming across James again.

RE: Lovely Charming Villain: Jessie's Adventures in Sinnoh - Chapter 2
TwistedTurtwig...yeah it fits Cyrus alright!
Hum, while I like Dusknoir's look, the only movepool I can find fitting (not thinking competitively) is having a Ghost attack and the three punches (Ice, Fire & Electric) so you should have a nice and easy battle with...with...that flamboyant Ghost French trainer (she's so ridiculous I can't even remember her name nor bother searching for it U_U) and a nice coverage for other Pokémon. Try not to get dragged to the Ghost World/Realm!
