Oh my Arceus, I haven't touched you in such a long time! I see you've gotten a brand new coat of dust. Looks comfy. Actually, no. I wouldn't want a coat of dust;I'd be coughing and sneezing all the time! Oh dear, I'm sorry for not touching you in such a long time, I've been so busy and...
Oh, look at me! Making excuses...! That's so unlike me! I can't believe myself! I'm sorry, me. Do you forgive me? I hope so.
Geez, things have been rough lately! We're so far away from the Underground's main base! It's all the way back in Eterna Forest, and we're up in the Meteoric Mountains. Just for future reference, I'll remind myself the following: the Meteoric Mountains are kind of in the middle of what we call the Sinnoh region. In a way, they split the east and the west parts. We have to rescue my friend. He's a Croconaw, and all three of us are part of an organization known as just the Underground. We're at something of a war right now, and members of the Underground are fighting gggggg...'
The cheery Grovyle suddenly stopped writing as the fragile darkness yet again conquered the cave she and what seemed to be a shiny Eevee were currently resting in. The lizard-like Pokemon turned her head to see the silvery Eevee, a new frown painted on the Grovyle's face because of the sudden darkness.
"...Francis?" the Grovyle asked, addressing the shiny Eevee by name. "Could you use your Hidden Power again to light this cave up? I really need the light to write with..."
"Oh, Margaret! How long are you gonna write in that piece of crap? We should be resting right now! Remember? We're gonna meet our guide tomorrow morning, and we're supposed to stay inconspicuous. A bright green fireball glowing at nighttime isn't very inconspicuous, and this place is crawling with Ancient Guard members. And Regirock himself!" the Eevee barked at her significantly older partner. Francis was simply a kid who did what she loved, when she loved, how she loved it, when she loved, where she loved and for whom she loved. Currently, the only person she loved was herself. With a heavy sigh, however, Francis began using her Hidden Power, having the two ghostly green fireballs floating serenely just above her two front paws.
Pleased by the haunting emerald light that again graced the cave, Margaret once again picked up her pen and promptly began making small thinking sounds as she wrote:
'...the Legendary 're fighting the Legendary Pokemon. All of them. It won't be easy, but if we can get everyone to work together, I'm sure we can succeed! On the opposite side is an organization called the Ancient Guard... They like traditions, so they're trying everything to protect the mythical beasties and all the holidays and stuff associated with them. The Ancient Guard are very silly. They can't see that the Legendary Pokemon are holding the world back. The Underground thinks that we should seal the Legendary Pokemon away until we really need them. Or, at least, that's what the Underground's unofficial leader Gold thinks.
I heard that Gold doesn't really have a name. Could you imagine not having a name? And having to just go by whatever nickname people thought up? I don't like that idea. I probably never will.
Hey, speaking of Gold... You know how doesn't like Gold? My buddy Francis over here. I don't think she really likes anybody. She's just a kid, sure, but she's so mean to everyone. Mean to Gold, mean to me, and mean to our Croconaw buddy. I wonder what happened to her that made her this way. It must be because she's actually an orphan. Or maybe that's just a rumor. I forget... Hey, I really love Tomato Berries. I can eat them like apples.
...Okay, I'm sorry. That just came completely out of left field. You see, I'm a doctor. Or nurse. Or whatever. Thing is, I help heal the wounded with the use of Berries. No, no, Berries don't really grow in places like this, so I'm not out on a Berry trip on the side of rescuing our pal. I'm only here to tag along! That's kind of funny, don't you think? Gold didn't want Francis to go alone, so he made me go with her. Nothing too exciting has happened quite yet, but he apparently arranged to have some kind of mountain guide to meet up with us shortly after dawn. For now, we've stopped in this little cave 'cause we're so tired of traveling so much these past few days... I wonder what the guide will be like! Oh Arceus, I'm so excited!
...Oh dear, Francis is complaining that I'm taking too long again. Okay, well, she has a point, and I'm getting pretty sleepy myself, so I guess this is it for now!
HELLO WORLD!
~Margaret'
...And so, the cool blue light of the moon once again began to dance its way into the small cave as the two Pokemon began to dream of the exciting day that was silently waiting in the wings.
