Ice: Wow, it seems like I have a lot of time on my hands now. Maybe I can update everything while I'm away from home.
We stopped by the PokeMart in Cerulean to stock up on items for the trip through Mount Moon. I've never actually been through Mount Moon. I've gone around it and admired from afar, but this would be a real experience for me. Pichu is excited except he knows his electricity is no good in the mountains.
Just outside of Cerulean, the base of the mountain loomed. It looked challenging with boulders scattered around. A rockslide looked threatening. We started climbing the side to reach the cave that led into and around the mountain. We slipped along the way. Our worst fear came true when we were halfway up.
We heard the low rumbling that meant half of the mountain was liable to come down on top of us.
"We've got to get down!" Misty shouted.
"How?" asked Ash.
"I don't know. You try coming up with some ideas."
At that time, the first round of boulders started to crash down around us.
"Ugh, fight all you want, Scyther! Help us!"
Scytherr came forth and started crushing the boulders that threatened to fall on us.
"Well, that works too. Pidgeotto! I need you!" he yelled as he called Pidgeotto.
He immediately hopped on it's back and tried to help Misty. He couldn't reach her since Pidgeotto couldn't handle the falling rocks. Misty started to slide farther down.
"Ash! Get out of the way!" I screamed, but it was too late. Pidgeotto had to do a flip and a nosedive to dodge the boulder and almost threw Ash off, "Swellow! Help!"
Swellow was set to go once I jumped onto her back. Pidgeotto was forced to back away preventing Ash from reaching Misty. Scyther covered Swellow and I as we bolted towards her. A boulder crashed near her causing her to lose her grip and fall. I was just barely able to grab her hand and pull her onto Swellow.
We backed off away from the mountain and landed back near Cerulean. I got off Swellow and Misty followed. I had barely taken a step when she embraced me. I was surprised to say the least. I knew that had to have thrown her off balance and felt sorry for her.
"So, now how are we going to get to Pallet Town?" asked Misty after she let go of me.
"Well, your Swellow can fly, right?" Ash asked me.
"Not for long. She gets exhausted easily and I don't want her carrying two people," I said.
"If she could just fly over the mountain, it wouldn't be so bad."
"Maybe she can carry Misty over the mountain and I can ride on Scyther. Swellow should be okay with that."
"I'll ride on Pidgeotto and we'll go the shortest route. Is that okay with you, Misty?"
"Sure."
Ten minutes later, Ash lead the way as Misty followed. I clung to Scyther as we followed them over the mountain. The view was beautiful granted it seemed like I was going to fall out of the sky. Twenty minutes later, we were landing.
We heard the rumbling again and started to run as we called back our pokemon. Suddenly, someone was calling to Ash.
"It's fine. Some Onyx are stampeding around, but we've got them calmed down now. So where you headed to, Ash?" he said as he stepped out of the shadows.
"Huh? Hey! It's Brock!" stated Ash.
Ice: I'm trying to get better at this one. Maybe it's starting to work out the kinks and become interesting. I dunno. You tell me.
