I take the time to train my Butterfree some more, and it learns Confusion, then Sleep Powder and Poison Powder. I also beat some of the local trainers with the dark powers of the original 151 Pokémon that Butterfree is able to harness.

After that, I manage to catch up to Ironing Board out the front of a broken-down beach shack. It turns out the shack is the professor's residence and laboratory. Lillie tells me that her Nebby is nicknamed Cosmog – I can't honestly say I care – and Ironing Board asks me to keep her Cosmog a secret from other people. Why is Ironing Board pretending I should care about her problems or that she wants to nickname her Pokémon Cosmog? I'm not trying to fuck her and why else would you listen to a girl talk about anything? Whatever, I just agree so the conversation will be over.

Ironing Board and I head inside and meet up with Professor Kukui. He's roughhousing with a Pokémon called a Rockruff. It's not from Kanto, so Kukui doesn't have to worry about much besides a torn lab coat. If Rockruff had been one of the original 151, like my Butterfree, Kukui wouldn't be standing there so casually.

Professor Kukui decides to power up my Pokedex with some random shitmon called a Rotom. I eagerly open it, since the Pokedex has a lot of deficiencies and could easily be fixed. Maybe it might have data like levelling and breeding movepools, stats, abilities, evolutionary data. You know, useful stuff.

Nope.

I get a shitty GPS system with an annoying voice built into it. It actually feels like I've downgraded my Pokedex. Thanks for nothing, Professor.

Hau comes in and there's a conversation between Hau, Ironing Board and Professor Kukui about friendship and helping people out. What a load of garbage. I don't have friends, I just have people I haven't been bothered to kill yet. As for helping people out, I've helped plenty of people out. I've sent all of them ammunition at high speed. Like Sonic the Hedgehog. Heh heh heh.

The professor tells me about island challenges, gives me an Island Challenge Amulet, which I'll need for some reason for the challenge, and my next stop as a trainer is the Pokémon Trainer's School.

On my way back up Route 101 towards the Pokémon Trainer's School to the Trainer's School, I take the time to stop and catch a Slowpoke and train it up a few levels. It's Brave, which will allow it to work as a mixed attacker. Nice.

Now, I'm off to the trainer's school. It's time to start giving people an education on Pokemon. Hopefully through violence.
