Danny's Journal, Part 2- To Violet City
After I healed up again at the Pokemon center, I headed back through Route 29 with no problems. When I was back at Elm's Lab, there was a police officer there. Apparently, that ginger kid, Silver, had stolen the Totodile from Elm when he wasn't looking. How Elm was oblivious to that, I have no idea. I gave the police officer Silver's name, and he went on his way.
I then gave the egg Mr. Pokemon had given me to Elm, and he got a bit too happy about it. He then suggested that I take on the Gym challenge of Johto, which I was going to do anyway, providing he let me keep Vesuvius. I talked to my mom about it, and she was surprisingly supportive. She's keeping some of my money that I'll earn on my travels, so I hope that will be helpful.
Lyra then caught up to me, gave me some Pokeballs, and showed me how to catch Pokemon. I already knew how, but it was a helpful reminder. To start, I went north through the gate on Route 29 to get to Route 46. I encountered a Spearow there, so I quickly caught him (even though he put up a bit of a fight and made me use up most of my balls) and named him Thorne.
I stopped in Cherrygrove to get some more Pokeballs and heal up, then I was off to Violet City. On the way, I battled a few trainers, giving Thorne some good battle experience. He's stubborn, but turning out to be a strong member of my team. I got a couple of the trainers' phone numbers, so I may call them to battle if I get bored.
Just before reaching Violet City, I caught a Weedle on Route 31. I named him Venom, and he is very cute. He likes following me and trying to hug my leg. I just hope he doesn't stab me.
There wasn't much to do in Violet City, so I visited the center. I then went south and caught an Ekans in a patch of grass, and named him Indiana. In the evening, after talking to the local people, I visited the Sprout Tower to get some training in. I caught a Gastly on my way up, and named him Scheme. I'll train those two later, once I'm out of this tower.
I saw Silver at the top of the tower again. He was angry that others didn't like his training style, so he stormed off. I don't like that kid, he's too violent. Plus, red-heads scare me.
Well, I beat all the trainers in the tower, and got the TM Flash as a reward. Thorne really took care of all the Bellsprouts, he's awesome. Vesuvius helped when she was needed, as well. Now off to train the rest of my team before taking on the Gym.
...And no, Joey, I don't care about your freaking Rattata. Stop calling me already.
