I woke up to what might just be the most painful alarm clock ever. I felt something hot drip onto my right hand. I woke up immediately and had Marshtomp used Water Gun on my hand to somewhat cool it off. I saw the Pokémon that did it. A Pokémon made of magma.

Slugma

103

Fire Type

Lava Pokémon

2'04" (0.7 m)

77.2 lbs (35 kg)

Slugma does not have any blood in its body. Instead, intensely hot magma circulates throughout this Pokémon's body, carrying essential nutrients and oxygen in its organs.

My hand was super swollen, it was painful. It didn't help that I was right-handed. Anyway, out of Fiery Cave I go.

Finally, fresh air. I was going to continue heading off when I saw a boy. He stared at me and ran off. I ran after him and saw him staring at a wall. He sent out a Linoone and had it use a move on the wall, revealing a hole which the boy walked through. I followed him.

As soon as I walked in, the boy noticed me. "How did you get in here?!" he asked. "Oh yeah, the entrance. Look bucko, this is MY Secret Base. Not yours. Well, unless I continue to have a look." He continued to walk around.

I asked him what this was. "Of course, you're that kid from Johto. Secret Bases are a common practice in Hoenn. The move SecretPower is used on specific spots which allows them to be opened. I was hoping to claim this one for my own." I told him he could. After all, he found it first. "I'm still checking."

After about an hour, he came back to me. "Nah, this place isn't really grabbing me. She's all yours." He then gave me a TM. "This is TM43, it contains SecretPower. It's needed to access your Secret Base. I will also give you some decorations".

I basically spent the day trying to decorate. My hand was still swollen so I had my Pokémon help. By the end, my Secret Base was finished, and I decided to rest there for the night.
