I decided to stay in Cerelean City for the night, but was unsure of where I was going to stay. I met a trainer at the pokemart who told me that I should check out two places in town- the Pokemon research lab near Cerelean Cape and the Pokemon daycare center just outside Saffron City. "They have a Pokemon daycare center there?' I ask. The trainer smiled. "A lot of trainers swear by the place, but the man at the cape told me that even though they gain attacks and levels there, the Pokemon you leave there don't gain any changes in their status. You might as well use rare candies, he told me." the scientist says. "This scientist sounds like he really knows a lot about Pokemon." I say. "You should go meet him. He likes helping out new trainers." he says. I wasted no time making my way to the scientist's cottage. I let my Pokemon out of their balls so that they could get some exercise and we had a great time. We enjoyed feeling the sun on our faces and inhaling the warm summer air. I don't think I'll ever get over seeing such sweet, even-tempered creatures use the incredible magical skills they possess to defeat their enemies. This is probably one of the things that fascinates me about Pokemon the most. It's something that Deliah and I always agreed on. I thought back on the kiss she gave me. I had dreamed of kissing her for ages, yet never expected it to happen. I sighed, reliving the experience over and over in my mind. My Pinsir stopped in his tracks suddenly and cried out to me. "What is it, Pinsir?" I ask. My Pokemon and I looked upon this larger than average Pokemon that I'd never seen before. It looked like a large rainbow winged bird, flapping it's wings wildly. I was frightened, but I commanded my Pokemon to prepare themselves for battle. My eyes widened as the strange animal spoke. "Wait!! Don't attack me! I'm not a Pokemon. This is just a costume; I'm a Pokemon researcher." it said. My Pokemon cried out in surprise when the large bird removed it's costumed head to reveal a young man in a lab coat. "I'm sorry if I frightened you and your Pokemon. My name is Forrest. This is a costume of Ho-Oh, a legendary Pokemon that very few have ever seen. I based my collage thesis upon research on this Pokemon, and developed this costume so that maybe I could learn more about this mysterious creature." Forrest says. I sighed with relief as he invited us into his home. I noticed that his home was sparcely decorated and he explained that belongings only cluttered the creativity of the mind. I was completely overwhelmed by his way of thinking. He was a perfect host. He served my Pokemon and I dinner, and showed me all the different experiments he was working on. "You have an interesting assortment of Pokemon with you. Most of the trainers I've met tend to train particular types." Forrest says. "I plan to be a Pokemon researcher myself, so I want to have the experience of training many different types at once." I say. I smiled, looking over at my Pokemon as they rested. My Polywag was nestled within the warmth of Ekan's coils, and my Kangashkan and Pinsir were sleeping soundly. We had had a long day. After our gym battle, we headed down towards the daycare center, where the nice couple that ran the place gave me a book on Pokemon training. "Very few young trainers take the time to level up their Pokemon by hand. This is our gift to you." they told me. I read the book as we walked back to Cerelean City, to get my bicycle at the bike shop. No more walking for me! One of the passages that inspired me the most was the one that said that one of the most important ways to create a lasting bond with your Pokemon was to share your leisurely activities with them. I decided to walk over to the lake near Mt.Moon and invite my Pokemon to go swimming with me. This delighted my companions, who dived in happily. I joined them shortly after, enjoyed splashing my Polywag who would shoot me playfully with his Water Gun attack. My Ekans slithered about in the cool mud near the water, while my Kangashkan bathed herself. My Pinsir decided to use his Seismic Toss tp pick up large rocks and toss them as far as he possibly could. The power of my Pokemon I had caught postively amazed me. I was honored to have them on my team.
Giovanni seemed to be cheering up, but now Deliah was depressed. He was happy because his Nidoran male finally evolced to Nidorino after only a half hour of training, but she wanted to be outside where the sun was shining, not inside a dark, damp cavern where neither of them could see very well. "Stop complaining, Deliah. We'll be out of here before the sun goes down. These rock types won't harm you; I have my Krabby to protect you. He's going to evolve to Kingler soon, so he'll be a force to reckon with then." Giovanni saya. "I hope you're not just focusing on training your Krabby. The Vermillion City gym leader specializes in electric types." Deliah says. "I'm aware of theat. His name is Fane. He used to be in the military, and is completely no nonsense. I hope he can deal with me when I challenge him. His meager elctric types will be no match for my Pokemon." Giovanni says.
June 5 I decided to get up extra early this morning so my Pokemon and I could get in some extensive training. I ran into this trainer that I had met at the Pokemon fan club meeting and he offered to help me level up my Pokemon. His were a few levels stronger than mine, so we had to work extra hard on our strategy to beat him. It wasn't long before all of them reached level twenty. "It looks like two of your Pokemon are close to being ready to evolve. I'll help you bring them up in levels more if you want." the trainer says. I knew which ones he meant, my Polywag and my Ekans. I looked over at them and saw that they looked exhausted, but were stil willing to battle. I knelt before the two of them and petted them both lovingly. "I don't want to push them too hard. Their feelings mean more to me than making them battle until they collaspe." I say. The trainer smiled. "That's very commendable. Okay well, I guess I'll be out here all afternoon if you want to battle some more." he says. I recall my tired Pokemon back to their pokeballs and make my way back to the Pokemon center. "Are you Samuel Oak?" the nurse at the counter asks. "Yes, that's me." I say. She smiled. "You have a visitor upstairs." she says. I smile back. "Thank you." I say. A visitor? I couldn't image who it could be, but I soon had my answer. "Samuel." she says. "Agatha!" I say. We rush into each other's arms, feeling like we'd be seperated for lifetimes. "I'm so glad I found you. The nurse told me you had been out all morning training and I didn't think I'd get to see you." she says. I took her into my arms and embraced her, kissing her in such a way that both of us felt like our knees would give out from underneath us. "It's such a nice surprise seeing you, Agatha. I thought you were out on the road training." I say. She laughs. "I am. I've been having my Kadabra teleport me me home every night from whereever I am. His Teleport is getting more accurate, he's usually gets me back to where I was within a couple blocks. How have you been doing, Samuel?" she asks. "Great! I've missed you, Agatha. Have you gotten my letters?" I ask. "Yes. Congratulations on winning your first badge! I'v emissed you too, Samuel. I plan to come see you battle at the Viridian Gym as soon as you qualify if you let me know when to be there. I wish I had seen your battle with Phelan. It would have been neat to see an Aerodactyl." Agatha says. "I was so surprised when I saw it that I nearly forgot about my strategy, but my Pokemon came through for me." I say. "Gastly!" her Pokemon chimed in. I laugh. "I see you're letting Gastly get his daily excercise. Hello, Gastly." I say. I hear the ghost pokemon laugh behind her, making us both laugh. "I definitely want you there when I win the Earthbadge. I won another badge yesterday." I say. "How many do you have now?" she asks. "Two, the Boulderbadge and the Cascadebadge." I say. "I heard Patience is one of the hardest gym leaders in the league. That must have been quite a battle." Agatha says. "It's funny you should say that. I didn't have that much trouble with her, but Giovanni did. She defeated him and refused to battle him again until he was stronger. She was in a very bad mood when we met. I'd assume he was rude to her." I say. "That wouldn't surprise me. I don't know how Deliah puts up with him." she says.
Deliah was wondering about that too, as she slept uncomfortably on the ground inside Rock Tunnel. As much as I love him, sometimes I wonder if he considers anyone's feelings but his own.I understand that he needs to train his Pokemon, but it's not fair to put our health to risk at the same time. She sneezed, her socks wet from stepping into puddles she couldn't see. Deliah's shrill scream woke Giovanni from a sound sleep. "Deliah, what's the matter? Are you okay?" Giovanni shouts. He flashed on the front light of his moped to reveal what had frightened his companion. Looming over Deliah was his newly evolved Kingler. "Coogie, coogie!" the large crab Pokemon shouts. "Oh Giovanni, is this your little Krabby? Wow! You must have been training all night." she says. "Yes. I've only had about a hour's rest. I'm exhausted. I thought I would surprise you with them." Giovanni says. "Is he the only one that evolved?" Deliah asks. He pulled out two of his pokeballs, releasing the other two that had evolved as well. "Come on out and meet Deliah. Deliah, meet my Machoke and my Graveler." Giovanni says. "Machoke!" it cries happily, embracing her. "Graveler!" the other one says. She embraces them both. "Oh, they are so cute!! Congratulations, Giovanni." she says. He smiled. "Thanks. Let's get out of here and make out way to Lavender. I need to get some rest." Giovanni says. He recalls his Pokemon and takes her hand, squeezing it lovingly. "Meowth!" a nearby Pokemon cries. The two of them look over at the sound that had startled them. "Look Giovanni, a Meowth. You should try to catch him. They're supposed to be really strong when they evolve to Persian." Deliah says. Giovanni thought about it for a moment. "I don't know if it's worth my time to catch a normal type. He'd probably only be useful if he could talk." Giovanni says. Deliah laughed. "A talking Pokemon? Oh Giovanni, you say the funniest things." she says. He laughed too. "I guess you're right." he says.
"So, you're going to stay and watch me challenge the Vermillion City gym leader?" I ask Agatha. She smiled. "Yes. I'll have Kadabra teleport me home tonight. Are you sure you're ready?" she asks. "I guess I am a little nervous. I know the futhur I get along in the league, the harder the gyms are going to be." I say. She smiles and rubs my shoulders. "Jusr relax. You'll be fine." she says. I sigh, relaxing under her touch.I was so glad that she was here with me. I hadn't realized how much I had missed her until I saw her again. My appointment with Fane wasn't until later that evening, so Agatha and I decided to go to Lavender Town for a couple hours. I playfully offered to carry her on her bicycle handlebars, but she insisted on using her Kadabra's Teleport to increase his accuracy. "I used my Fearow to fly here. Some of my other friends that are trainers give me a hard time about having him, but he was the first Pokemon I ever caught." Agatha says. "I remember. That was before you found out you had to weaken them. I remember you calling me from the doctor after you caught it. He pecked you up pretty good that day." I say. She laughs. "That's how I knew he would be a great addition to my team." she says. We teleported to Lavender Town and released her Gastly and Kadabra to play in Pokemon Tower with us. Pokemom Tower is one of Agatha's favorite places to visit in Kanto. It's where she caught her Gastly so many years ago and a place we liked to go to be alone together. The top floor of the tower was always vacant, due to people being afraid of all the ghost types. I could hear Gastly laughing in the background as we shared a private moment, making up for the lost time we'd missed together. "Well, well, look at the lovebirds. This isn't a love motel, you know." a voice says. We look up to see Giovanni and Deliah standing nearby. Agatha smiled. "Hi Deliah, Giovanni. What are you doing here?" she asks. "We were headed towards Vermillion, and saw the two of you sneaking up here. What a morbid place to make out." Giovanni says. Kadabra walked up to us and in front of Giovanni. "Kadabra!" he says. "It would be in your best interest to keep your spoon bending freak Pokemon away from em. I have enough muscle power on my side to put your ghosts to shame." Giovanni says. "Yeah. It's too bad all your normal attacks can't harm them...all that training for nothing!" Agatha says. "We'll just see about that!" Giovanni shouts. Deliah wished us a good day just as Giovanni grabs her hand roughly, leading her away. "You really hold your own against him, Agatha. Maybe that's why I love you so much." I say. She smiles. "I love you too, Samuel." Agatha says.
I decided to stay in Cerelean City for the night, but was unsure of where I was going to stay.
