So I finally left.
That aide of Prof. Elm’s gave me some Pokeballs before I left… and I put ‘em to good use. Before I even got to Cherrygrove, I caught my first wild Pokemon - a Sentret. I decided to call her Scout. I think she still half-thinks she’s wild, because she doesn’t like to let me touch her much, and the only time she’ll really listen is in battle… But she and Kai seem to get along pretty well, at least…!
Then, just on the other side of Cherrygrove, I caught a Kakuna. It’s hard to tell… but I THINK she’s a girl… Anyway, I named her Sting, which should work either way, right? Plus, if she’s gonna evolve into a Beedrill, she needs a fitting name, right? But it took three Pokeballs to finally catch her! Who’d have thought a cocoon could put up such a fight?!
I ran across this place. I think it was called “Dark Cave” or something… Anyway, the name fits. Even with Kai’s back going on full blaze, I couldn’t see a thing. I’ll have to see if I can find a better light-source…
But right after that, I caught a Pidgey! Oddly enough, she’s a girl too, and just as stubborn as Sting, apparently. I named her Eire, mostly cuz I thought it was a cool name. But it took another two or three Pokeballs to catch her.
But right after that, I reached Violet City. I’m not ready to take on the Gym Leader yet, though… I’ll train tomorrow, I think, in addition to what we did today. I mean, I can tell that Eire, Scout, and Kai are all getting stronger, but if Falkner’s as tough as people say he is… then we’re gonna need to work for this.
…On a lighter note! I think Kai’s getting a bit over-whelmed by all the girls. When I let everyone out for the night (we’re camped out just outside of Violet), he took one look at us, and went to sulk on the other side of the tent. Until scout and I whined at him to come back. Then Eire went to go sulk. I don’t know why… but she really doesn’t seem to like Kai much…
Oh yeah. One more thing.
I dueled a couple of trainers today, traded numbers with two of them: a bug-guy named Wade, and this kid named Joey.
OH.
DEAR.
GOD.
I just med the kid today. And he called me. SEVEN. TIMES.
I know he said he’d call if anything came up, but that doesn’t mean he has to call me every time he ALMOST catches a Pidgey! And dear god, Joey, talk about something OTHER than your Ratata! I JUST battled it, it’s not that great…!
I’m sorry, that was really mean… I mean, I’m sure he’s just excited to talk to me… There was no reason to explode like that… Um… I should go to sleep… Good night…
