Just something I wrote after getting fed up with a cave in SoulSilver based on what I actually would do if I were there in real life. (And in case you were wondering, I chose the girl trainer sprite.) Can't remember where this cave, but oh well. Hope you like.
Pokemon (c) Nintendo, Game Freak, and Satoshi Tajiri.
"Oh, come on!" I whined. "We've been stuck in this cave for, like, three hours now! And all we've done is walk around in circles and get jumped by random Rock Pokemon which I've already caught!" I slumped down onto the ground. "Why does Nintendo and Game Freak always feel this strange need to complicate everything with huge caves?"
I glanced at the Espeon following me - the expression on her face seemed to say You should've printed out the walk through while you had the chance.
"Don't give me that look. I got through Pokemon Silver just fine! How was I supposed to know that SoulSilver would be that much more difficult? I mean, it's essentially the same game!"
You got lost in Silver too. You had to bum gaming tips off your cousin.
"...annoying Psychic know-it-all." Espeon is my favorite Pokemon, and most of the time I loved the telepathic way she could communicate with me, but I really wasn't in the mood for her attitude. I do admit, she probably picked up the snarky attitude from me, but even so, it was annoying.
Look, your sister's almost done with the computer, Espeon communicated. Just ask her for it back for five minutes to look up a walk through. Printing stuff like that out isn't rocket science.
"She used up all the printer ink last night." I sighed. "Look, just gimme a few minutes to rest and calm down. I'm sure once I've rested a while, I can figure this out."
What is it with you humans and getting directions?
"I'll give you a Rare Candy if you shut up."
Espeon rolled her eyes. Look, you're a great friend and a fantastic trainer. I'm just trying to help. No need to bite my head off.
"I know." I leaned back against the rock wall of the cave and began patting her head. "I'm sorry, Espeon. I'm just sick of these stupid caves. And I'm sick of being ambushed by random Geodude and Zubat and - huh?" I had shifted slightly while talking, just enough to set off the Dowsing Machine. "Sweet! I completely forgot! Caves like this are always filled with lots of free stuff!" I jumped up, ignoring the dirt all over my backside. "Ooh, I hope it's something shiny this time! I love shiny stuff!"
Hey, wait a minute! You were complaining a minute ago and... wait for me! Espeon jumped up and chased after me. I had taken off at a full run - the Dowsing Machine was my number one favorite item in the game, and I lived for the moments when it would randomly start beeping. Free stuff for the win!
"Here it is!" I skidded to a stop and picked up something that looked like a spray bottle with a weird logo on it. "A Max Revive!" I started happy dancing. "There's always the coolest stuff in places like this! I love these caves!"
Espeon face-pawed. Oh, for the love of Mew...
