Warning: Contains Massive Undertale Spoilers Chapter 1 - Frisk I woke up. The ground under me was soft, oddly so. Hadn't I fallen down a massive hole? Shouldn't I be injured? I opened my eyes. Well, that explained it. I was lying on golden flowers. The flowers must have cushioned my fall. I got to my feet. I was in a large dark cavern. The flower bed was a clear oval. Who would tend flowers in a cave? A grey path led from the flowers to a purple arch built into the cave wall. I heard something and whirled around to see... a very large flower. Nearly a meter tall. It almost seemed to have a face. "Howdy!", the flower said, "I'm Flowey. Flowey the Flower! He/him pronouns.". I stared at the flower. How was it talking? Oh... this is Mt. Ebott. Clearly the monsters are real. I wonder how I'm staying so calm... Anyway, the flower. I looked at it. "You're new to the Underground aren'tcha? Anyway, suppose I'll have to teach you about this place." Wow. A friendly talking flower. I wonder what else is here... I assume the flower, Flowey will tell me. "This place is filled with monsters, I assume you know that. Anyway, monsters need seven SOULs to crack open that Barrier trapping them in there. So, any human who falls is defeated and their SOUL taken.", Flowey said, "So yeah, you're kinda doomed like the rest. The last one... accepted his death at the end. They were called Clover. A flower like me." Flowey tries to smile, but I can see he is sad. That was a lot to take in. So, apparently I'm doomed. That's bad. But can I escape? I ask Flowey, "Can I go back through the Barrier?" "No.", Flowey said, "You would need a monster SOUL to do so, and not any SOUL, a Boss Monster SOUL. Unluckily for you, Boss Monsters are the toughest of them alll." So, that won't work. I slump. "Even with a monster SOUL, you wouldn't be able to get back up to the Barrier. However, if you went to the other side of the Underground, the Barrier is right next to the ground and we can figure something out there.", Flowey said. Well, that's not helpful- wait, "we"? "You are going to help me?", I ask hopefully. "Yes.", Flowey says, seeming annoyed, "You are the one with Save/Load, so there's no point not helping." What is Save/Load? I ask Flowey. "What is Save/Load?". Flowey is annoyed by my question. "Really? You don't know?! Well, see any floating golden star shapes?" I am about to reply no when I see one appear behind him. "Uhh... yes.", I reply. "Great.", Flowey says, "Touch it." I reach out and touch the star. EMPTY LV 0 0:00 -- Save Return "Uhh...", I pick Save. The screen flashes yellow. FRISK LV 1 3:52 Ruins - Entrance File saved. I look at Flowey. "What's that???" Flowey replies, "That is a Save Point and you just Saved. So, you can Load your file and return to that point. And if you die, you also return to your last Saved point." That... seems unlikely. But... there was an actual screen thing that appeared, so maybe it is possible? "Well.", Flowey said, "Since we're teaming up, I should teach you how to fight. Pick up that stick." I do as told. Flowey looks at me then says, "Now, hit me with it as hard as you can." "But what if I hurt you?", I ask worried. "It's fine, I'm tough. Try Check.". Flowey replies, "Wait, you don't know what Check is... it is like the Save Screen but to see the stats of others, try it." This is crazy but I trust Flowey. After all, he showed me the Save Screen. I imagine a little window popping up... FLOWEY - 900 HP 19 AT 0 DF In no danger from you. "I assume that tells you I will be fine? A human like you only has something like 20 HP. I doubt you can seriously hurt me in one hit.", Flowey said. I nodded, then hit Flowey with the stick as hard as I could. Flowey shook, then smiled. "See! I'm fine. That was like ten damage. Now, I'll teach you dodging." Little white pellets appeared above Flowey's head. Suddenly, a red heart shape appeared next to me. "That is your SOUL, the very culmination of your being. I have one too.". A grey SOUL appeared next to Flowey. "Now, don't let the friendliness pellets hit you!". Flowey flung the pellets at me. I ducked, then stepped to the side to avoid the other pellets. "So, now that you know dodging and fighting monsters, it is time to go to the Ruins.", Flowey said, "The Ruins are behind that purple archway at the end of the grey path."
