As soon as I awaken the next day I feel frozen like an ice cube. I shudder and feel my teeth chattering like an animal chewing on its food vigorously and quickly. I see a shape coming towards me and I can't make out who it is because my eyesight is so blurry from sleep. I blink a few times and then see that the shape is the Quagsire that we saw yesterday.
"Hello Nick and Kyle, how are you this morning? Did you sleep well?"
"Morning Quagsire. Good, and no not really. It was too cold, and we would really like to find a carpenter to build us a house" Nick replies. I nod my head and then I notice his voice is a little shaky from the aftermath of the cold air the previous night.
"Hmm...there should be a carpenter in Post Town. Let me show you Post Town." Quagsire starts walking away from me and Nick. Nick turns to me and says,
"Let's follow him Kyle!" I nod my head in agreement and we follow Quagsire. We walk past the crossroads and then walk into Post Town. When I walk into Post Town, I gasp in amazement. I am surprised to see what Post Town looks like, but I am extremely shocked because I have never been in the Pokemon world until yesterday and seeing a bazaar or a town in the Pokemon world is just...stunning! I try to hide my amazement but Nick looks at me in surprise and worry. "What's the matter Kyle?" He looks at me and examines me from head to toe. I look away because my attention is drawn to something that is happening right now. I notice yelling and I look around until I see where the fight is coming from. I see that there is a Roggenrola and a Ducklett standing in front of a building and they are looking at each other angrily.
"Don't push me!" Roggenrola yells.
"All I did was brush you with my beak!" Ducklett yells. After this happens they both say "Hmph!" and then go in separate directions.
"Well...this is where the carpenter is hmmm..." Quagsire says. He walks towards the building which is made out of wood and tall. It has a pink rooftop but I'm assuming this is wood painted pink. I see two Timburr standing in front of the building and then Quagsire introduces us to them. They follow us inside the building and I see a counter in one corner. "That is Swanna." Quagsire introduces us to the Swanna standing behind the counter and then I look to my left and see a Gurdurr standing there. "This is Gurdurr the carpenter," he says and then turns to us. "Well, I better be going now, I have a lot to do. See you later!" He leaves me and Nick alone with the Gurdurr, the Timburr, and the Swanna.
"Is that the carpenter?" Nick asks the Timburr while looking questioningly at the Swanna.
"Since when does that look like a carpenter?" the two Timburr say. "No, the carpenter is Gurdurr."
"GURDURR!" Gurdurr yells and then slams the wood he is holding on the ground. "I am the Timburrs' boss and I will be assisting them. I hear you are wanting to build a house?" Nick and I nod our heads.
"Yes, that's right! Would you be willing to help us build a house?" Nick asks. I look at him and see his red eyes sparkling and they look so excited and eager for this new house. I understand this feeling because I have no memory of who I was as a human but I am willing to push this thought aside and focus on what is happening now.
"Yes, but if you can bring me five blue crystal stones," he answers. Nick and I exchange looks and we look puzzled for a few seconds. Then Nick asks,
"What stones? Where can we find them?"
"You can find them in Stony Cave. Get five of them from the deepest part of the cave and then your house will be built by me! GURDURR!" He slams the wood again, and then says, "You better get to it now!" As soon as we leave the place Nick tells me,
"So we are going to go to Stony Cave and find five blue crystal stones. We should probably stock up on some items before we go..." Nick hesitates and then looks over at the Kecleon shop. I know what he is thinking, so we go and buy some oran berries and reviver seeds however when we're done we notice that we are low on money.
"Let's save our money and then buy more supplies as we get more," I say. As soon as we are walking towards the crossroads, the two Timburr come up to us and say something that troubles me.
"You know..." they begin. Nick looks at them questioningly and then says,
"What is the matter Timburr?"
"Oh...it's nothing. Just go and get your stones." They leave and then me and Nick give each other puzzled looks without saying anything. I want to know what that was about...that thought still bothered me as we go through the crossroads and find our way into Stony Cave.
