Chapter 2 Title - ver Too
I'm working on the next script, then from there I'm going to expand the general outline. Meanwhile, I had some input about the title screen for Chapter 2, so here is a variation on the same idea. I also made this one "cleaner". Leave a comment on which you like best.

Torou ver 2.0
Here is a slightly modified version of Torou based on some feedback I recieved. I still want to change around the trees for the north exit.

Torou Screenshot
Here is a screen of what I have in mind for Luke's home town (Torou). This isn't final, but I don't have too many changes in mind. Tell me what you think.

Chapter 1 Script
As I said I would, here is the chapter 1 script. Chapter 1 shows us that just because Luke wants to be something, doesn't mean he can.
CHAPTER ONE - GO GO MEGAMON RANGER!
=OUTLINE=
I) Oat's Request
II) Delivery to Tree-Leaf Town
--A) Trouble with Team Racket
--B) Goodbye Picklecoo
--C) Prof Barley's "Thanks"
III) The Road Home
--A) Goodbye MegaMon License
IV) Goodbye Cristy and Rock
=SCRIPT=
LOCATION: Outside Luke's Home, Torou
WHO: Luke(L), Prof Oat(O)
As soon as Luke steps outside a very MegaMon-ey music plays and Prof Oat comes out of his lab to Luke.
O: I've got one last task for you. Come with me.
Luke follows Prof Oat back into his lab.
LOCATION: Prof Oat's Lab, Torou
WHO: Luke(L), Prof Oat(O)
O: Luke, how are you doing today?
L: Confused.
O: That's nice.
O: I need you to deliver this package to Prof Barley.
L: But I leave tomorrow...
O: It's not far. He lives in Tree-Leaf Town just west of here, through Route 10011.
L: Alright.
L: Can I ask, what's in the package?
O: Oh, just some MegaMon Balls. I buy them cheap through the internet, he adds a few special touches, and we sell them at a nice profit. But we're behind on our orders. I need these delieverd fast.
L: I'll do it.
{PLAY}
Once Luke starts out on Route 10011 he calls out his faithful pet Picklecoo and they overcome many puzzles.
{/PLAY}
LOCATION: Route 10011
WHO: Luke(L), Team Racket[Jessica(Je), Jim(Ji), Mouth(M)]
Towards the end of the path Luke encounters a strange group. As soon as they spot him they start getting stranger.
Je: Prepare for battle.
Ji: And don't ski-daddle.
L: ?
Je: Safety of the land we love.
Ji: We travel the world from below and above.
Je: Peace and unity of all alive.
Ji: Scale the mountains, step aside.
Je: Team Racket, let's make some noise.
Ji: If you don't give up, we'll make sure you dies.
M: You'd better believe it.
L: What? Who are you?
Ji: We're Team Racket.
M: Maybe perhaps we should do the motto again.
L: No, please.
Je: Hand over that Picklecoo you little twerp.
L: But he's... she's... um, it's...?
L: PICKLECOO IS MINE.
Je: Then we'll just have to battle you for it.
L: No, here you go, please don't hurt me.
Team Racket takes Picklecoo.
Je,Ji,M: Looks like Team Racket is running off again.
Team Racket runs off screen and a sparkle fades in and out.
Cut scene plays, sappy music and pictures of Picklecoo and played.
{PLAY}
Luke can now exit Route 10011 and find Prof Barly.
{/PLAY}
LOCATION: Prof Barley's Lab
WHO: Luke(L), Prof Barley(B), Prof Oat(O)
Luke enters Prof Barley's lab and approaches the only one in the lab.
L: Prof Barley?
B: Please, just call me Pro.
L: ...
L: I have a package for you... Pro.
B: (Takes Package) This feels a little light.
L: Yes, well, um...
L: Some of the balls were damaged on the way here.
B: Luke, don't worry about it. I'll let Prof Oat know you did your best.
B: You did do your best, right?
L: I think so, but I also had some other problems.
B: Oh? Like what?
L: I kinda lost my only MegaMon...
B: WHAT?!
B: ...
B: Excuse me, sorry. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I'll have my MegaMon escort you back to Torou.
Luke walks out and Prof Barley calls up Prof Oat.
B: You really messed up this time Oat. That boy you sent is lucky he's survived to live this
long.
O: Please Pro, calm down. What exactly is wrong?
B: Well, first off, I'll be lucky if I can resell any of these MegaMon balls.
B: And he went and lost his only MegaMon!
O: What? Oh, wow. Really?
B: Yes, really. I'm sorry, but you know what must be done.
O: I'll take care of it...
Luke is shown arriving at Torou.
LOCATION: Prof Oat's Lab
WHO: Luke(L), Prof Oat(O)
Luke returns to Prof Oat to report on what happened.
L: ...
O: Prof Barley has already told me everything.
O: Luke, I'm afraid I must take away your MegaMon License.
Cut scene plays similar to the cut scene for when you lost Picklecoo, only for the MegaMon License.
LOCATION: Outside Prof Oat's Lab, Torou
WHO: Luke(L), Cristy(C), Rock(R)
Luke steps outside and is greeted by Cristy and Rock.
R: We overheard, tough break kid.
L: Just wait! We'll show him.
C: Actually Luke, we've found someone else...
L: Someone, else?
C: His name is Tom Ado.
R: He lives in Mallet Town. We're leaving tomorrow morning. You'll have to stay here.
L: Well, I didn't want to go anyway!
Luke runs off.
L: Ketsup lovers!
C: I feel kinda bad now.
R: Don't let it get to you. There's no way he could have carried us to the top 10.

Chapter 0 Script
To make this project easier to develop and to help it work out better than some of my past projects, I've decided to completely plan out everything before I try to actually "make" the thing. I also am splitting it into chapters to help me make each section of game better, because I can work on each piece separately. I also thinks it gives me a little more control over the player without it feeling like I'm controlling too much.
At least that's what _I_ think. :) [Please ignore my ego]
Here is the script for the introduction portion of the game. Comments and questions are welcome.
--------------------
CHAPTER PROLOGUE - THE THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE
=OUTLINE=
I) Luke Playing with Friends
II) Luke with Grandpa
--A) History Lesson
--B) Go Play
=SCRIPT=
LOCATION: Outside, Torou
WHO: Luke(L), Cristy(C), Rock(R), Seth(S)
Luke is hanging out with his friends talking about all the wonderful things they are going to do.
L: We're gonna be the best trainers ever!
C: I'm so excited!
L: Where do you think we should go first?
C: Anywhere with water, I love WaterMon©. Where do you want to go first Rock.
R: We should go to Mallet Town first. It's where all the great trainers started.
L: I don't care where we go first as long as we visit every gymnasium on the way. I wanna get all 50 badges!
R: We should leave tomorrow morning. Mallet Town isn't that close to here.
Seth walks over and interrupts.
S: Luke, your Grandfather would like to see you before you leave.
L: I'll be right there. // I'll catch up with you guys later.
C: See you tomorrow!
Fade Out/In
LOCATION: Inside Luke's Home, Torou
WHO: Luke(L), Luke's Grandfather(G)
Luke sits on a bench next to his Grandfather's bed.
L: Grandpa, I'm here, what did you need?
G: Luke, how are you doing? You'll be leaving soon.
L: I know, but Seth will take care of you.
G: It's not that. I've just been thinking about a lot. Your mother died 2 years before you were born, it was a miracle you survived. Did you know that?
L: Yes Grandpa, you've told me many times.
G: Listen, you father was a great man, he raised you through those years. But he had to leave you on your own so he could go fight in the war. I haven't seen him since. But something bad happened to the town you lived in. Something very bad. When I heard I rushed to find you. You were the only survivor. The only thing you have from that experience is the scar on your forehead.
L: The triangle shaped scar that I have to cover up so I don't get made fun of?
G: Ignore them, it's a mark of power. Your entire home town, and everyone in it, was destroyed. But not you. Nothing can stop you if you stay determined.
L: Grandpa...
G: Luke, look at you! A 10 year old MegaMon trainer about to embark on a lifelong adventure. Your going to go far!
G: I don't remember my point, but don't forget where you come from. Your history is your foundation. And keep getting stronger, whoever destroyed your home town is still out there somewhere.
G: Now go back out and play while I get some rest.
