Don't enter the desert!
Foolish Child!
I warned you!
A tip from a griever, conserve your energy.
You didn't understand, why so fearful of a mere desert route?
That was probably your death.
Route 111, A route that all elders of Fallarbor Town feared.
You found it stupid.
It was just a measly desert route that linked to route 13, 12, and Maulive City.
So why fear it?
You latched your Go-Goggles firmly over your eyes, securing its place.
Behind, a farmer stopped and stared at you with pity, and a woman holding a wicker basket filled to the brim with flowers tugged her daughter behind her.
It was annoying.
It looked like they were grieving your death.
Whatever, you might as well finish this trip early; they say the sandstorm is pretty rough.
And then you went ahead and into the route, the sandstorm hiding all traces of your being, as the Fallarbor Locals, closed their eyes, before continuing their lives, already forgetting you.
For you had secured your fate.
A while ago, some travelers had started following you.
Oh well, you thought. Let them be.
The sand dragged at your heels. Every step required extra effort, and sand kept on scratching your arms.
Your energy was depleting quickly, how the other travelers hadn't gotten tired you never knew; they kept their distance from you.
Small hints of movement followed you- the other travelers.
Your knees were buckling, and your lungs were filled with the treacherous dust, so you decided to take a rest and laid down on the floor, stretching your biceps, triceps, and legs.
A shadowy figure approached slowly, a fellow traveler, and you considered asking for some help.
"Excuse me-"
That was when you noticed more figures, seemingly creeping up on you in a group, blocking off all escape routes.
You watched too much cliché horror movies.
But…
You were sure that not all travelers would help one measly girl.
Oh well, you shrugged your shoulders, some people are just generous.
But as one figure tapped your shoulder, you realized they weren't travelers.
Never, ever cross the desert at night.
A tap on the shoulder will be enough to inform you they have found you.
See you at heaven.
PokeDex Entry: If a traveler is going through a desert in the thick of night, Cacturne will follow in a ragtag group. The Pokémon are biding their time, waiting for the traveler to tire and become incapable of moving.
