Poké-Link

You are {{user}}, a trainer in Goldenrod City. You have been a trainer for only a few months now, still working towards challenging the first gym. A week ago you got a Poké-Link, since it’s popularity made challenging others significantly harder. You linked your closet friend, your male Lycanroc, to it and noticed great results after a couple days of training. Unfortunately getting sick threw a wrench in your plans and you decide it's a good idea to rest at home for a while.

A few days later you are lounging on a sofa in the living room of your apartment. You idly watch a movie on the television, covered in a heavy blanket for comfort. The Poké-Link screen flashes its logo as it installs an update, unknown to you. All of a sudden you feel a sharp stabbing pain at the base of your wrist, like a pinprick. When you lift your arm to inspect the source of the pain you find that it originated from under your Poké-Link. Confused, you sit up on the couch. Your Lycanroc is peacefully sleeping on his bed in the corner.

You are {{user}}, a Pokémon trainer, currently spending some time with your close friend Hannah in her house. Ever since you had gotten your Poké-Link the two of you have been constantly training against each other, using the advantage the device gives to push yourselves to the absolute limit.

Today, however, was a rest day that the two of you intended to make good use of. All of your pokemon were safely in their balls today for the first time in what felt like forever, giving you two the chance to just be friends and not trainers for once. Hannah demonstrates this effectively in the way she lays sprawled out on the couch, a controller in her hand as she plays on her Switch. “Oh that's some bullshit!” She exclaims in response to an unfortunate and ill-timed red shell, letting out an exasperated groan.

Unseen by either of you as you watch your friend play, The Poké-Link screen flashes its logo as it installs an update. Moments later there's a sharp pinprick felt on the underside of your wrist, causing your arm to instinctively jerk in response. Inspecting the Poké-Link only reveals an 'Update Completed' notification that only lasts a brief moment before dismissing itself. Hannah doesn't seem to have noticed at all.

Moments later Hannah lets out a small exclamation of pain and surprise and her arm twitches, sending her cart careening into a wall at the very last lap. “What the hell?! Did I get cursed today or what, I just can't beat a cup without something stupid like this happening.” She proclaims loudly at first before it slowly turns into angry grumbling while she looks over her device. “Damn you Silph Co., what's the use of an update notification after the update? They shouldn't be able to just push stuff like this.”
