Thank you everyone! All of you who read my fanfiction just made a groundbreaking, earthshaking accomplishment for me. Before yesterday the highest number of hits on this fanfiction on any one day was 249. I'm serious, 249. Last night at about 10:00pm I logged on and checked the traffic stats, and I was sitting at 249 again. But, then by midnight I was up to 282. This was accomplished by all of you, so thank you so much!

Also, I finished a few sprite edits and put them into a video on youtube. Type in the youtube address and put this...

...on the end of it to watch the video.

"Ssshhh," I hushed him, "I don't want the entire world to know."

"Right," he replied in a whisper, "So you found Mew and managed to catch it."

"Her," I corrected, "She modelled her voice after a female, so she identifies herself as a girl."

"Yes," Oak said, seeming to ignore my comment, "You need to send me the information from your Pokédex, now!" The screen turned to black and then to the option screen.

'Mew, if you could kindly get off of me so I can reach the screen,'I thought to her.

Mew disappeared then floated off of my lap.

I chose the option of the screen called Prof. Oak's PC, which was the Pokédex check. After the dialling and ringing sounds Professor Oak reappeared on the screen.

"Alright, now insert your Pokédex in the slot," Professor Oak instructed.

There was a rectangular slot on the panel with the Pokéball slots, I figured this was where I should put my Pokédex, and so I placed it there.

I heard typing coming through the speakers of the PC. Professor Oak was typing something into his computer, mumbling to himself about things being 'amazing' or 'remarkable'. Eventually he sat up straight and looked back at the screen, "This is spectacular information Jenn!" he exclaimed, "Thank you."

The screen went black a second time, again bringing me back to the options screen. From here I turned the PC off and took my card out of the slot, along with my Pokédex from the space it was still inserted in.

Now finished with the PC, and the PokéCenter I left back out into Vermilion City. My goal was to fight the trainers in the eastern route for some extra experience. As I was wandering in that direction I noticed a man in a white lab coat standing near the path to Route 6.

"Hello," I called to him, "Are you one of Professor Oak's aides?"

"Oh, hello, Jenn! Yes, I am! How are you doing?" he asked.

"Fine," I replied, "What brings you here?"

"Did you meet the other Aide?" he asked, "He had a package from Professor Oak for you, Jenn. He said he'd look for you around Route 2."

"Route 2?" I asked, "Why all the way back there?"

"Who knows," the aide commented, "But you can take a short cut back there through Diglett's Cave on Route 11."

"Thanks," I said, glad I didn't have to wait until I got the Fly HM to go find this aide who was waiting so far away.

It didn't take me long to find the cave, it was the only cave around the area and it had a large sign out in front of it that read, 'Diglett's Cave'. I entered this cave, went down a ladder, and followed the path through it. As the name implied, I found many Digletts in the cave. It wasn't the only Pokémon I found in this cave though. I found two level 29 Dugtrios, which helped Ivysaur and Fearow level up to level 26. I had to heal both after that battle though, both because of critical hits, one with Dig and the other with Fury Swipes. Kadabra also managed to grow to level 26 in the cave.

I emerged from the cave on Route 2. I looked at my watch; it had taken nearly three and a half hours to get through the cave. Now all I had to do was find the aide, hopefully it wouldn't take too long. I figured he'd probably be waiting in a gatehouse, so I headed south into the gatehouse. Sure enough, there was the aide.

"Hi!" he said, "I'm one of Professor Oak's aides."

"Yes, I know," I remarked, "You apparently have something from Professor Oak for me."

"If you Pokédex has complete data on ten species, I'm supposed to give the Flash HM to you," he said, "But you don't have enough species of Pokémon yet.

I sighed, "Fine, I'll be right back."

I quickly walked over to the nearby Mart and bought a couple of Pokéballs so I could catch two more Pokémon. I also sold my Nugget and my Stardust while at the Mart. I caught two more Pokémon, but released them afterwards because all I needed was their data for the Pokédex.

I went back to the aide, who, now that I had 10 entries in my Pokédex, gave me Flash, which I taught to my HM slave, Meowth.

Now it was time to plan what I was going to do next. I figured I should go back to Vermilion and fight the trainers in Route 11 before doing anything else. So I went all the way back through Diglett's cave.

By the time I returned to Vermilion City it was rather late, so I headed to the Pokémon Center to rest for the night.

The next morning I headed out to Route 11 to take on the trainers there. There were many trainers with a variety of different Pokémon! I battled Youngster Eddie, Gamer Hugo, Youngster Dave, Youngster Dillon, Gamer Jasper, Engineer Bernie, Engineer Braxton, Gamer Darian, Youngster Yasu, and Gamer Dirk. This entitled fighting an Ekans, a Poliwag, a Horsea, a male Nidoran, a Nidorino, a Sandshrew, a Zubat, a Bellsprout, and Oddish, Magnemites, a Magneton, a Growlithe, a Vulpix, Rattatas, a Raticate, and a Voltorb. While battling all of these people Ivysaur grew to level 28, while Kadabra and Fearow both grew to level 27. I also found some items: an Awakening, an X Defend, a Great Ball, and a hidden Escape Rope.

Once I had finished everyone off and walked the entire route I headed into the gatehouse at the end of the route, and then walked out the other side of it.

"Get up you fat, ugly, lazy Pokémon!" as if I didn't hear this voice enough, Alicia's voice rang out loud and clear.

I walked along to find Ashley sitting, looking rather bored while Alicia yelled insults at what looked like a boulder upon first glance. As I walked closer I determined the boulder was actually a Snorlax.

"You know," I said, approaching the two girls, "This isn't the way you should be going. You need to get the Flash HM and go through the Rock Tunnel from Cerulean to Lavender Town."

"I know," Ashley said, "But Alicia's being stubborn."

"Do you want help dragging her back to Diglett's Cave so you can go get the Flash HM?" I asked, making sure I was talking quietly enough to not be heard by Alicia.

Mew appeared beside me, "Ooh, I can help too!" she said eagerly.

Ashley and I walked over to Alicia and turned her around. Mew slipped behind her and put her paws on her back. Both Ashley and I took one of Alicia's wrists and pulled while Mew pushed. After some struggling and screams from Alicia we managed to drag Alicia to Diglett's cave.

"I think I can drag her the rest of the way myself," Ashley said.

I laughed, "By the way, you'll need to have the data of ten different Pokémon species in your Pokédexes to get the HM."

"Thanks!" Ashley said before entering the cave, this time not being pulled, but dragging Alicia behind her.
