Depends on #119.

There was no AutoStory program for FireRed. "PokemonFRLG: AutoStory" plays it from a new game to the Boulder Badge as checkpoints 00.01 to 00.09, written as one table on #122's shared story steps, with the shared start/end checkpoint dropdowns and AutoStory stats, and walks its routes with #119's walk_overworld_route_with_recovery(); it adds the Mart and bag checks, the save card check, readers that don't depend on the game's language, and the battles. Tested with the AutoStory suite (every route plans, checkpoints chain, items, save places, lint) and the simulation suite, which runs the whole table from a new game to Brock against a fake game, in fork CI; on console B (2026-11-01) the story ran from a new game to Viridian Forest's north gate.

Fix (2026-11-02): the bag read 5 Potions and 3 Antidotes as unreadable (Tesseract lost the 5 and the 3, whose strokes join only at a corner), and the story took an unread count for none, so a later battle never healed and the starter fainted. Bag counts are now read with the FRLG digit templates, with the capture as an image test (PokemonFRLG/ItemListReader/ in CommandLineTests), and an unread count keeps the count bought, or 1, and is logged.

00.10 gets the Running Shoes from Oak's aide in Pewter (gym to (45, 21), step onto his trigger (46, 21), clear the scene), and 00.11 runs from that save to the wall at (6, 21) to time running; from 00.11 on every route and leg runs (the run step variant), which a table test holds.

Battles (2026-11-02): the loop declined every new move, pressed B through evolutions (Squirtle stayed Lv16 on console B) and assumed a party of one. Its choices now live in BattleDecisions, and the lead's moves and PP come from data tables from pret (PokemonFRLG_AutoStoryParty): "Delete a move?" is answered from a per-line plan (Water Gun over Bubble, Bite over Tail Whip) by walking the move list to the slot, the preferred attack is used until its PP run out and then Tackle, nothing is pressed while an evolution may be on screen, a fainted lead flees wild battles and never sends a member in protected_slots, and the nurse restores PP (the ready step also goes to her when attacks run low). Tested with the new AutoStoryParty tests (movesets, prompts, fainted lead, PP, and a fake evolution that B cancels), run locally in a standalone harness; not yet on console B. Follow-ups: TM moves and Magikarp/Gyarados as a supporter, protecting the Magikarp once Gift RNG adds it, matchups and switching, PP read from the screen rather than counted, and a nurse detour mid-route.

Moves from the summary (2026-11-02): console B's save after Route 3 has Squirtle Lv16 with Water Gun where Tackle was (the move list's DOWNs went out before it faded in, so A forgot the top move) and Bubble kept; the plan put Water Gun in Bubble's slot and fell back to a Tackle it doesn't know. A run that loads a save now reads the lead's species, level and moves with PP off its summary (read_party_summary(), new SummaryMovesReader), battles pick attacks by name and PP and fall back to the strongest damaging move with PP, and "Delete a move?" reads the cursor before each press. Tested with new AutoStoryParty cases (the console's moveset, unread PP, fewer than four moves) and SummaryMovesReader image tests (images in dayfine/CommandLineTests#2, so a FileException in CI); syntax and code health checked locally, not run on the console.

Matchups and bag on load (2026-11-03, for #211): the loop always opened with Water Gun, which the Cerulean rival's Bulbasaur and Misty's Staryu and Starmie resist. Against a trainer whose party is in pret's trainer_parties.h (trainer_party(): the rival, Misty), it now picks the move with PP left with the most expected damage over the party (power x STAB x type effectiveness, a small type chart for the party's moves); unknown trainers and wild battles keep the old order. Bite is learned over Tail Whip, else Withdraw. A run that loads a save also reads the Items pocket for its counts (read_bag_supplies()), so its wild battles are no longer all run from with 0 Potions. Tested with new AutoStoryParty cases (Bite on the rival's Bulbasaur and both parties, the fallback for an unknown foe, Bite learned without Tail Whip) and an AutoStoryItems case (a loaded save's counts come from the bag), run locally with an out-of-tree runner; not run on the console.
