Pokémon Go 20xx

December 7th, 2021 § 0 comments

A legitimate phenomenon back in 2016, I doubt we’ll see another one like it again where a thousand people moved like zombies along the dark Long Beach shore upon a Lapras sighting, but new technology debuted that greatly enhanced the AR experience and the line to enter a tournament taking place inside a huge brightly-lit convention center was long, and when I reached the front, I was paired with a young Asian woman with short hair and tight black jeans. We didn’t even have our own Pokémon yet, which was probably for the best, since those on most the other teams were being demolished by headstarters throwing down powerhouses like Mewtwo, who’d appear behind the players and transform into an unrecognizable weapon-laden form two stories tall to do its damage. There was an exploratory area downstairs where we could pick up a starter, but in the spirit of partnership, a sign showed that one of us was to carry the other on his back when returning. In keeping with her FOB origin, she didn’t notice the position of the characters and began mounting me from the front, which I normally wouldn’t correct, but the immediate priority was to get out. Barry, who recently messaged the local LINE group from Hawaii, asked me if we’d like to battle, but I told him we were too low level, and I learned too late from another group of guys sitting at a table that we could’ve grinded on NPC mobs first while I gathered equipment for our laptops from an assortment of adapters.
