Chapter 28: Grinding the rocks

We continued on our trek through the cave, Pansear explaining everything to Ferroseed, who asked questions on everything. From items to what types pokemon were, the questions barely stopped.

Even in a battle, Ferroseed was still asking questions.

'Ferroseed: Wot type is an Archen?'

'Pansear: It's a flying type. Just about every single bird-looking one is.'

'Ferroseed: So why's it blue? And yellow and red and looks like a dodo?'

'Dewott: …and you don't wonder why you look like a metal seed?'

'Ferroseed: No, wot's wrong with that?'

The Archen nearly fainted the switched-in Tranquill with Acrobatics, but took a Quickattack pretty well. Herdier got in a Crunch before Reviving Tranquill. Tranquill used a Potion on Ferroseed before getting one last Quick Attack off came Pansear, who finally managed to beat the Archen.

'Ferroseed: Wot's bad about having half your team fainted?'

Oh yeah. That. Was I willing to go back down to the healing house?

Yes.

I walked out of the cave and began the trek down to the house.

'Tranquill: Yay! Next time, can I walk out on my hands? And see the world upside down? I heard it in a song!'

'Ferrothorn: Wot? You have wings! And this… I thought the world was like the cave. It's awesome! Wot's that green stuff?'

'Pansear: No! That's tall grass! You cant-'

Ferrothorn took one step into the REALLY tall grass, and was confronted on the battle screen by a Deerling.

'Ferrothorn: Wot? Oh… the grass has pokemon? Oh… '

Ferrothorn's Gyro Ball did about half damage, and a Super Potion and Gyro ball later it was fainted.

"Hey, Ferroseed? Let's do some grinding out here!" I said.

'Tranquill: May I suggest a montage?'

'Dewott: …what?

'Pansear: …'

'Ferroseed: Wot's a montage?'

'Pansear: *facepalms*'

'Ferroseed: Wot's a facepalm?'

[-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-]-[-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-]

The closest you can get to a montage in a fanfic later… (whatever that is)

Several Deerlings, Karrablasts, Foonguses, and lots of senseless violence of the pokemon type later, Ferroseed was level 30, everyone who WAS 30 31, and everyone was happy. Until I said that we had to go back in the cave again.

'Tranquill: WHAAAAT? YOU WANT ME TO GO IN THE CAVE OF DOOM?'

'Pansear: Is this really worth getting freaked out about?'

'Tranquill: OF COURSE IT IS! IT CONTAINS ELECTRIC TICKS AND GEARS WITH FACES!

'Dewott: …and no mention of the metal seeds?'

I had gone up to the entrance by now.

'Tranquill: Oh yeah. AND METAL SEEDS TOO! THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE GETTING ME IN THAT CAV-'

'Ferroseed: Wot's up with Tranquill? We're in the cave!'

'Tranquil: WHAAAT? (Darth Vader style) -'

'Dewott: How does that go on for so long?'

Once again the same thing the narrator used last time to get out of the cave later…

We were at the same place that we were before the grinding happened.

I pushed two rocks aside and headed down some stairs, pushed a rock, and Juniper and Bianca came over. They were almost done collecting data, and apparently Klink didn't exist more than 100 years ago.

'Ferroseed: …Yeah! Mom said the Klinks came late, and so they are kind of shy. But that's gone by now, thankfully!'

'Dewott: …Yeah! Ferroseed just said a full sentence without the word Wot!'

'Ferroseed: …wot?'

…they just stayed there like last time; and I headed down, towards a bridge. Before I could get on, however, the Shadow Triad, with their third member now, appeared.

'Ferroseed: Wot? How did they appear?'

'Dewott: …don't question game mechanics.'

The carried me across the bridge before vanishing. Uh… ohkay?

Above me there was a Hyper Potion, and below me was a moveable rock blocking some stairs. Also blocking it was a Scientist, with a Klink. To the very left of the stairs was an Iron, which increases the defense of a pokemon, and that was it for this floor.

When I reached the lower floor, the thing I (Herdier, actually) noticed was the music. It was lower in key, and sounded more sinister, if that was possible.

The next thing I noticed was that two guys gave me Nuggets, able to be sold for money.

The left route had nothing but a way back, and so I headed back to the Nugget Bros. and headed up. What was up there… were Plasma Grunts!

Oh yes, and a Timer ball, which wasn't so useful, but the Doctor was. He agreed to heal everyone- but only if we could beat him in a battle. He had a Swadloon, but it was no match for the power of Ferroseed's Gyro Ball.

Like he agreed, he healed everyone.

So now… it was time. To face the stupid Plasma Grunts. Nah, doesn't have that epic feel.

'Ferroseed: Wot's Team Plasma?'

'Dewott: They are a bunch of people who don't like putting pokemon in pokeballs. So they steal pokemon to do that.'

'Ferroseed: Oh, so they're evil?'

"YES!"

The grunt's Scraggy, Sandile and Watchog also got fainted by Ferroseed, who grew to level 31. As I headed back to heal… a Tynamo appeared!

The electric eel-like pokemon has a 2 percent chance of appearing, and I had finally found one.

…but then I pressed run by mistake.

"WHAT? Darn! I wanted one!"

'Ferroseed: Wot's a Tynamo?'

"It's that thing I ran from! That you were battling! That I wanted to catch!"

'Herdier: …let's just wait. Don't get worked up about it. You can catch another whenever you want! And besides, downstairs you have a much higher chance of finding another!'

"Ok. Thanks, Herdier. But… when did you get so good at motivational speeches?"

A/N:

So, have a happy December!

And in two days for B/W there's a movie Victini event over wi-fi. Make sure to get it!

And to review, too. Review!
