Danny's Journal, Part 7- Onward to Ecruteak

The National Park is a nice place to rest. I kinda prefer sleeping outside, at least in the nice weather. Anyway, after waking up, I gathered up my team and headed to Ecruteak City. On the way, I caught two Pokemon- a female Nidoran named Diana, and a male Stantler named Shishigami. I also got rid of a Sudowoodo that was blocking the path to Ecruteak, then finally made it to the town itself.

I stopped by the Pokemon center in Ecruteak before doing anything else, and I ran into a guy who said he basically invented the PC storage systems for Pokemon. He then told me if I was ever in Goldenrod to look him up, and then he left.

Interested, I took a trip back to Goldenrod to visit him. When I got to his house (it took me forever to find), he had a cute little Eevee bouncing around the place. He told me I could have her, as he wasn't a trainer and didn't know how to take care of her. I gladly adopted the Eevee, and named her Imani. Arceus, she was such a cutie.

I say 'was', because she isn't an Eevee anymore. After visiting the department store, buying some Calciums for her, and leveling up a bit; she evolved into an Espeon! I decided that would be a good time to train the rest of my team a bit, so I trained everyone for the rest of the day (Scheme also evolved into a Haunter while training), slept at the Goldenrod center, then headed back to Ecruteak earlier today.

The first thing I did was try to check out the Bell Tower, which was unfortunately closed to the public. So, I compromised and took a trip to the Burned Tower instead. Inside, I found two guys dressed in purple looking over the burned insides of the tower (two guys dressed in purple alone in a ruined building... sounds questionable). The one introduced himself as Eusine, the other as Morty, the town's Gym leader.

They then explained they were researching the Legendary Beasts of Johto. I looked down through a hole in the floor, and nearly fell down from the shock. Raikou, Entei, and Suicune were resting on the bottom floor. Ignoring the protests of Eusine and Morty, I set off to find the stairs... only to find Mr. Stalker-ginger-face Silver.

He started yelling at me, as usual... and I proceeded to kick his ass with Scheme and Vesuvius. His team was sadly underleveled compared to mine, and he ran away rather angrily. Ignoring him, I found the stairs and descended to the bottom floor.

As soon as I got down, the three Beasts noticed my presense and fled. However, Suicune, the Legendary Beast of the Wind, stayed locked in my gaze for a few seconds before Eusine stormed in. After Suicune fled, Eusine started gushing about how wonderful and glorious and beautiful Suicune was. Annoyed, I went up the stairs and left. He sounded just like Joey and his goddamn Rattata.

When I exited the tower, I saw a Team Rocket member run into one of the larger buildings (apparently some sort of dance studio), so I tailed him. He was harassing another Kimono lady over something, so I decided to play the knight in shining armor and rescue her. After making quick work of the Rocket member, the lady basically ignored me. How ungrateful. Some random guy in the crowd gave me the HM for Surf, though. After dragging Indiana out of there (he apparently wanted to dance), I healed up my team at the center and decided to challenge the town's gym.

I figured the gym would be a challenge, since it was Ghost-type and all... but oh my god. Imani just RAPED that Gym. It wasn't even a challenge. She just bounced around, taking out the Gastlys and Haunters (and Morty's Gengar) with Confusion, all with a cute little smile on her face. She's so adorable when she's slaughtering the undead.

So yeah, that badge was easily won. Morty wasn't pleased, but I'm on a roll here. Onward to Olivine city next! I'm eager to see the ocean for a change. Also, sorry for the long entry. Ecruteak is just an awesome place.

I am getting a bit creeped out because of Silver and those Kimono ladies, though. They follow me EVERYWHERE. I need to file a restraining order against Silver... I don't mind the ladies. Hurr hurr, boobies.

...Vesuvius just smacked me as I wrote that. I think she's jealous.
