Pokemon Go Server had gone live in
Singapore on 6th Aug 2016(Saturday), just three days
before the SG 51 National Day. Mathew woke up by a Whatsapp
Notification, he slowly drag his feet from the bed and walk to the
desk where his phone is charging. His friend had send him a message
that the long waited Pokemon Go Game has just started in Singapore,
he quickly open his Google Play Store App and start the download of
the Game while he wash up and get ready for a day of adventure.
They had use to play a argument
reality game name Shadow Cities on iPhone quiet a few year back, but
the Developer decided to shut down the server only after two years of
operation. They had waited so long for another game which is similar
and they are excited that it is finally here. Mathew had not been a
big fan of Pokemon, but his friend had update him with so many information that they had research before the game was even launch
in Singapore. They had expect it to be launch two weeks after it had
went live in US and Australia, but it actually took one whole month
for the server to finally went live in Singapore.
Mathew had pack some biscuits, water
bottle and portable battery in his back pack before he set off to
meet up with Ken at their favorite location Bugis Junction. Their
plan is to explore around the town area and see what kind of Pokemon
they are able to catch for the day. Ken was late as usual while
Mathew wait at the fountain, he observe that the crowd had been
bigger than usual as a lot of people had also start playing the game.
Just as he is deep in his thoughts, a
rather cute girl who is playing Pokemon Go bump right into him.
“I am so sorry.” The girl said. “I
am trying to catch this Zubat and I didn't notice you were standing
there.”
“It's ok.” Mathew said. “I am
just waiting for my friend here.”
“You don't play this Pokemon Go
Game?” The girl ask.
“I had already downloaded the game,
but my friend and I would like to test out a theory of getting
Pikachu as starter Pokemon. So I had to wait for him to be here
before we do that.” Mathew said.
“Really? I didn't knew that. I just
choose Chamander instead because I find it cute. I would had choose
Pikachu if I knew there is an option. By the way, My name is Fiona.
My IGN is LunaVenus, it is a pleasure to meet you.” Fiona said
“Men are from Mars and Women are
from Venus?” Mathew said. “You just gave me an idea for my IGN.”
Fiona just smile and proceed with her
search for other Pokemon in the area, and Ken just finally decided to
show up after making Mathew waited for almost 30 mins.
“I am sorry, the MRT had break down
again.” Ken said.
“Oh Please! Skip the Bullshit. I got
MyTransport App on my Phone, I will have receive some notification
for that.” Mathew said. “Let get some lunch and start our journey
as soon as possible.”
“McDonald or KFC?” Ken ask.
“Too crowded today, let go Ajisen
instead.” Mathew said.
“Hey, you see that girl over there?
She look kind of cute.” Ken said.
“Ya, her name is Fiona and her IGN
is LunaVenus.” Mathew smile as he walk away.
“Hey, wait up!” Ken said. “Did
you actually Pika her Chu and Poke her Mon?”
“I think you need a Brain Wash
Machine for your coming Birthday.” Mathew said.
Ponggol Park and Yishun Park had
become a Hot Spot for Pokemon Go, Mathew and Ken decided to celebrate
their National Day at Ponggol Park to see if they are able to catch
some Rare Pokemon.
“Damn! I really thought I could
complete the Pokedex in over the weekend.” Ken said. “We are not
even half way there man!”
“Nah! You didn't think the
developer would make this game that easy.” Mathew said “We would
be lucky if we are able to get 100 if we work hard enough today.
“Hey, don't that girl look
familiar?” Ken said. “You think she is Fate or Destiny?”
“Come on! This is a popular spot for
the game.” Mathew said. “Any hardcore player would had gather
here for the Lure Party.”
Mathew quietly sneak up behind Fiona
and give a light tap on her shoulder.
“Hi, My Name is Mathew. My IGN is
ApolloMars.” Mathew said as Fiona turn around and look at him with
surprise.
“You really brought me luck, I just
caught a Snorlax.” Fiona said. “The CP is Low but I really hope
it got good IV.”
“Nah! I think having a Good Skill
Set is more important than IV.” Mathew said. “You would not want
to waste your Stardust on it if the CP is low. Better wait until you
are level 20 and hatch one from a 10 km egg, usually it will had 80%
IV or more.”
“Wow! You are really an expert in
this.” Fiona smile.
“Nah! The credit actually goes to my
buddy Ken. He is a Big Fan of Pokemon.” Mathew said. “He is
standing over there, let me intro him to you.”
“Hey Ken! Come over here.” Mathew
shouted. “Fiona just got a Snorlax.”
Before they even realize, the whole
crowd had stampede to their location before they are able to get out
of the way. They manage to escape from being stomp and sat down at a
Coffee Shop nearby to take a break from the crazy crowd at Ponggol
Park. Ken start to brag about his expertise knowledge of the game and
the day went by quickly and soon it was night fall.
“Let's head to Kallang River, we
should be able to see Firework there.” Mathew said after they had
their dinner.
So the three of them spend the
reminder of the evening catching Abra and Vulpix along the Kallang
River.
Mathew really enjoy Fiona company, he
decided to ask her out for a date over the weekend.
“Hey Fiona, I was wondering if you
would like to catch a Movie at Vivo City and catch some Dratini
later?” Mathew call up Fiona and said.
“Sure, I will meet you at Starbuck
Cafe.” Fiona said. “Would Ken be coming too?”
“Nah! Ken is down with Fever from
catching Pokemon.” Mathew said. “It will be just you and me
today, we can show off our Dragonite to him when we get back.”
Before they realize, they had been
going out every weekend to various hot spot hunting Pokemon together.
Fiona Birthday is coming and she haven't caught a Pikachu until now,
Mathew decided to bring her to Universal Studio and he heard there
had been frequent spawn of Pikachu over there. He had brought a few
Lure Module with the Poke Coins which he had earn from the Gym Battle
and decided to give Fiona a surprise when they arrive at the rumored
Pikachu Nest.
Spending $74 on the entry ticket to
the Theme Park just to catch Pokemon is crazy, but Mathew really
wanted Fiona to feel special. As the Lure Module are activate at the
Pokestop that surrounded them, Pikachu started to spawn to witness
the couple special moment.
“Don't you want to catch Pikachu?”
Mathew ask.
“Pikachu can wait, I choose you.”
Fiona said as she gently kiss Mathew on the cheek.
