I don't understand why I can't buy ice cream in the winter... so what if it's cold!

My Great Big Adventure

I'm currently in Castelia City, wandering around looking for the gym.

After escaping the movie theater prison, I met up with Hugh and Roxie at the dock. They were taking on… TEAM PLASMA! It seems the evil-doers really have returned, in chicer, less medieval fashion.

This was my chance. While they were busy battling, I could make my escape. I could run off-course and into the wilderness. Though, I'm not sure what I would do after that… Oh well, it doesn't matter, because my stupid heart took one look at Hugh, and I hesitated. I'd never see him again if I ran away…

Not that I had a chance. I took one step back and Hugh and Roxie both start yelling at me to help out. Sigh. So I took out all three Plasma grunts with a flick of my wrist. Unfortunately they managed to run away.

Roxie's dad was so grateful that we had chased away Team Plasma that he gave Hugh and I free ferry passes to Castelia City. I was thinking maybe this is where Hugh and I would part ways, with him going after Team Plasma in Castelia and me… not.

However, Hugh dragged me onto the boat with him, proclaiming how we will take them down and such. "We". As if I ever agreed to this.

Of course, as soon as we docked, he ditched me. Typical.

Passerby Analytics HQ…

NEVER go in there.

You won't come out for another 6-7 hours…. they force you to take a bunch of quizzes!

Castelia City is probably the largest city in all of Unova… maybe even the world. Thus so, it probably has the largest population… and most of them are crazy.

There's always a mass of people in suits running to and fro. I was jostled and pushed so many times, and so quickly did they move that I didn't even see who was doing the pushing. I've never seen so many people in my entire life! Everyone from my hometown could fit into just one of these skyscrapers, probably with room left over!

Soon after arriving, I was harassed by a freakishly cheery clown. He listed all of these places in town for me to go and meet up with his "clown brethren" (as if I'd want to). Despite his creepiness, he did give me a free bicycle! It even folds up nicely to fit in my Mary Poppins bag.

I quickly found the gym, but unfortunately leader Burgh wasn't home… The bouncer said he was off looking for Team Plasma. Some girl named Iris overheard us, nosy. Then she ran off as well, something about knowing where they might be hiding. Whatever. Tired of having people boss me around, I ignored her plea to follow and went off the opposite direction.

At one point I got lost in a dark alley, and was almost mugged by a strange man in sunglasses. But when he grabbed for me, I tumbled backwards into a dark cafe. It was strange there too; everyone had this weird twinkle in their eye and several people were making out in dark corners. Trying to seem like I'd tumbled in on purpose, I bought some milk and then hightailed it out of there!

After another hour of walking, I was pretty hungry, so I stopped for some ice cream. Well, let me tell you! Casteliacones…. FRIGGIN DELICIOUS. I bought 12! Cleared them out! So tasty…

After wasting some more time in an art gallery, I decided maybe I should go find Iris, or perhaps just skip on over to the next city.

I had a simple task: ask for directions to the next town. Did I get a simple response? Of course not.

Instead, I was somehow whisked up an elevator to an exclusive, private party with a lot of foreign people and fancy finger foods and hors d'oeuvres. I took a whole plate of dumplings and shoved them into my bag. They'll never miss it, that had 50 more plates stacked up behind the dining tables! I also think I may have been proposed to… the man was speaking rapid French and I have no idea what he was saying!

Finally, several hours later, after prying myself out of the arms of a Chinese woman (who was so drunk she thought I was one of her daughters), I managed to find my way back to the Pokecenter. However, I wasn't feeling too well. I'm pretty sure they spiked the punch at that party. I was sober enough to remember everything, though.

And wow this post has gone LONG. Okay, I'll pause for now, and continue later, about my adventure in… the sewers!
