Danny's Journal, Part 8- Lighthouses, Oceans, and Stalkers
After leaving Ecruteak to go to Olivine City, I ran into a small male Meowth, whom I captured and nicknamed Merlin. He might come in handy if I decide to train him later. Nothing too interesting happened on that route, just defeated a few trainers and got their phone numbers.
Just as I was about to head South towards Olivine, however, I was stopped by some guy who noticed the Pokedex I was holding. He said he was originally from Kanto, and was trying to make a Safari Zone here in Johto, and then he gave me his number. I don't know why I seem to attract weird guys, but oh well. I just ignore them.
I did catch a cute female Farfetch'd before entering Olivine, though. I named her Xena, and I'll keep her in my PC box until I need another flier. Anyway, Olivine is a pretty big city, and it has a large port, as well. I let my team hang out down by the beach while I went to check out the city. The Gym was the first thing I noticed, so I headed in that direction to check it out, but a familiar figure exited through the sliding glass doors.
Silver.
I confronted him and accused him of stalking me. He said he would do no such thing, and that I was a weakling just like the Gym Leader of this town. Apparently, she was taking care of a sick Pokemon in the lighthouse, and hasn't been at the Gym for days. After Silver shoved past me, I picked up my team from the beach and headed in the direction of the lighthouse.
The lighthouse was fairly easy to climb (I had to use the stairs because Indiana apparently doesn't like elevators), even though I had to jump out through a hole in the wall to a lower level because one section's stairs were destroyed. They really need to get someone to repair that, I could've broken something. After fighting some trainers along the way, I made it to the top of the lighthouse, which was completely dark. I saw a young girl and an Ampharos in the center of the room.
The girl approached me, and asked me if I was a trainer. I said yes, and she asked me if I would run to Cianwood city to pick up some medicine for the Ampharos. The Pokemon's breathing was harsh, and it looked deathly sick. I agreed, of course, and after blindfolding Indiana so he could go in the elevator without freaking out, I went to the Pokemon center to get ready.
I then realized that I didn't have a Pokemon that could carry me across water. After finding a fisherman and borrowing his rod (God, that sounds wrong), I caught a Corsola, whom I named Dutchess. I quickly taught her Surf, then set off for Cianwood.
The ocean route to Cianwood was easy enough, although a couple swimmers tried to ambush me. Ao Tonbo took care of them, and I made it to Cianwood without a problem. I did pass by a set of islands surrounded by whirlpools, though. I might have to check that out later, it looks like a neat place.
After setting foot in Cianwood, I hightailed it to the local pharmacy. After explaining my situation to the manager, he gave me the strongest Potion he had- a Secretpotion. I thanked him and left, and was about to head back to Olivine before the Gym caught my eye.
It was a Fighting-type Gym. I have a Flying-type and a Psychic-type on my team.
Utter pwnage occurred.
So yeah, the gym wasn't that much of a problem. Chuck, the Gym Leader, didn't really seem like the Pokemon training type. I think he liked training his muscles more. With another badge in hand, I stopped by the center quickly to rest up before getting back to Olivine.
Suddenly, though, a blue and purple blur rushed past me. It stopped on the water and glanced back at me- it was Suicune! Its bright red eyes stared into mine for a few seconds before it dashed off across the ocean. As I stood still, marveling at the beast, I heard footsteps from behind me, and turned around.
Goddammit, Eusine. Stop stalking me.
He went into a rant about how Suicune was so beautiful for being able to run on water, then he got a serious look in his eyes and challenged me to a battle. Indiana took care of his Drowzee and Haunter pretty easily, and Scheme made quick work of his Electrode (hooray for Hypnosis). He didn't seem mad that I beat him though. He just ran off shouting about that Suicune. What a freak.
Now to finally head back to Olivine, after Ao Tonbo and Imani stop trying to bury Vesuvius with sand on the beach. Distractions, distractions, distractions...
