Rock Tunnel and the Evolutionary Stones

Starting Pokemon:

Izzy the Charmeleon

Claire the Pidgeotto

Kingsly the Butterfree

Allie the Mankey

Blossom the Gloom

Doug the Dugtrio

Week twenty-two:

Had to store Kingsly for the time being and get Katie back out from the PC. Somehow, don't ask me to explain it, my little Meowth is able to use her little forehead-coin to light up Rock Tunnel. Remember when I said Viridian Forst was dark as a cave? Yeah. No. Not even a little. Rock Tunnel is like standing in a dark room at midnight while blindfolded. This is gonna be rough.

Met a guy who asked me about Pokemon cosplay. Um. Yeah. So. I killed his 'mon and ran the hell away.

Fuck everything about this.

Week twenty-three:

Lavender Town is an incredibly depressing place. There's a tower here where people pay their respects to fallen Pokemon. I really, REALLY, hope I never have to come here for that reason.

Stopped by the Name Rater to update my Charmeleon's tags. "Izzy" seemed a lot more fitting when he was a baby Charmander, and I've always called him "Iz" for short. Now he's just plain Izze! Izze seems to like the change.

Week twenty-four:

Just found an underground tunnel to Celadon. I'm gonna run that as fast as I can. Heard about a guy who might be giving away Eevees. If there's one thing my team NEEDs right now, it's an Electric Pokemon. I hear they sell Thunderstones in Celadon, too….

Okay, so I don't know who this guy was, but the ninja hanging out on the roof of Celadon Mansion told be that he knew everything, proceeded to break the fourth wall, and then just stared at me as I took the Eevee off the table in the corner. He didn't stop me, so… It's not stealing, right? 


Right!?

Stopped by the mall to pick up some goodies. Blossom sure seemed to like the Leaf Stone I bought. She up and sprouted these gorgeous petals and evolved right into a Vileplume! Nicely done, girl!

Not to be outdone, the newest member of our team, Sykes the Eevee, is now Sykes the Jolteon after seeing the Thunder Stone I purchased alongside the Leaf Stone. This team is looking pretty well built if I do say so myself.

Week 25:

Met these guys. Yup. Matching shirts.

It'll break their matching hearts to find out they're related.

Week 26:

Lots of training lately. I want to go snag my fourth badge, but I'm hearing all these rumblings about this Team Rocket. Maybe there's more to being a Pokemon trainer than winning badges. I'm gonna look into this Rocket business.

The Secret Base is immense. There are stairs everywhere, dead ends, elevator lifts… It's like this place was built by a mad-man and yet… I haven't got lost yet.

The elevator lift was shut down and needed a Lift Key and get this: I meet a Rocket goon who "dropped" the key after I beat him. There's no way this organization can last with goons like this.

Finally got to Giovanni. Hah. Whatta joke. Allie fought like a champ and took him DOWN. Onix? Low Kick. One hit KO. Rhyhorn? Low Kick. One hit KO. Kangaskhan? Low Kick, Karate Chop, KNOCK OUT. You're a champion, Allie. I have never been so proud.

Also, WHAT is with these guys just dropping things after they've been defeated? Giovanni dropped a Silph Scope that one of the other guys mentioned could be used to detect ghosts. Shit just keeps getting weirder and weirder around here.
