Part One: The Journey Begins
Alright, we have a unanimous choice for the tomboy and cSakuya wins for the starter. Lets get this adventure started!

After the standard intro of grabbing the potion from my PC and walking into the grass, Oak drags me into his lab to give me my very first Touhou! My rival who is oddly named "Green" (Just went with the default because I felt like it) whines about me getting to pick first, but I ignore him and make my choice.


Look how sweet she looks, I think as I name her "Jessweeee!" (forgot to add that you can suggest nicknames as well, so I went with the first female member I saw on the who's online list at the time I was playing )
Docile nature does fit a maid. Green then grabs the closest Touhou orb to him and claims cReimu as his starter. Odd how he picks a starter that will be weak to mine once she evolves, but that is better for me in the end so I won't complain. Wanting to show off, he challenges me to a battle
The battle is fierce, with cReimu attacking relentlessly with pound, even scoring a critical hit that brought Jessweeee down to 1 HP. It was a good thing I grabbed that potion, and Jessweeee took out her foe with her own critical hit. I leave the lab and head north to Viridian city. On my way I encounter several different Touhou, and engage in combat with them. During this, Jessweeee levels up two more times and learns her first new move: Knife Throw.

At the Touhou mart in Viridian, the shopkeeper asks me to deliver a package to Oak. I shudder thinking about what an old man who studies little girls ordered, so I get back to Pallet town quickly to get rid of the box. at the lab, Oak decides to have me fulfill his dream of catching all the Touhoumon in the world, and gives me my own Touhoudex, as well as 5 Touhou orbs. I open the dex and look up Jessweeee
How cute, I say as I close the dex and walk outside. I then look at the grass and wonder which Touhoumon I should catch first to add to my team. On my way to town and back I saw...


Today there are 5 choices for me to catch, so vote for whichever little girl you want me to catch. Also feel free to suggest a nickname. Note that while most of the time wild Touhou will be female, there is a small chance that one will be male, and I am going to be catching the first one I see. The choices are
cMystia
Normal/Flying type. She is like Spearow. Common, and pretty average. Of note is her ability Diva, which only she has which increases the wild encounter rate. Mystia is a night sparrow, and her ability is to induce night blindness and to confuse humans with her singing. First appearing in Touhou 8, she is a random youkai that the player character beats up because she is in the way.

cAya
Another Normal/Flying. Aya is like Pidgey. Also common, but stronger than cMystia. cAya is very fast, and with her speed boost ability she will keep getting faster. Aya's ability is the manipulation of wind, and she first appears in a fanbook, and later in Touhou 9. A crow tengu, Aya runs a newspaper and is known to stretch the truth to make a story, making several others shy away from her to avoid being featured in her paper.

cChen
A ground type, Chen is the Rattata of this game. She will be showing up a lot as a wild Touhou, so get used to seeing her. Her ability is Run Away, which is very useful if I want to take any detours early on and survive the wild encounters I am not supposed to see until later in the game. Chen is both a Nekomata and a Shikigami, with her ability being Black Magical arts. She first appears as a random youkai the player beats up, and later she encounters the player in the extra stage, both as a midboss and an enemy projectile.

cKanako
Kanako is Grass/Electric, and she is a pretty solid wall that can also deal a lot of damage, especially since her types are strong against the first two gyms.She has the ability Pressure. Kanako is a goddess with the ability to create sky, and is the goddess of the Moriya shrine, which she took over from Suwako after defeating her in a war. She is the final boss of Touhou 10, where she transports her shrine to Gensokyo (the place where the Touhou series takes place) to collect faith, which triggers the plot of the game.

cSuwako
Suwako is Water/Ground, and like Kanako is quite strong, being focused on Special Attack rather than defense, making her a great special sweeper. She gets the ability water veil, and I find her sprite in this game to be quite adorable. Suwako is a goddess who has the ability to create Earth, and is the original goddess of the Moriya shrine, which Kanako took from her. However, she remained at the shrine due to her ability to control the local curse gods as well, which was something Kanako could not do. She is the extra boss of Touhou 10, fighting the player because it's fun.
