It took a full day for someone to come cut the tree down! A WHOLE DAY! DOES NO ONE GO THROUGH ROUTE 3!? Anyways, I decided to set off and walk into Pewter City and go to the shop to try my luck and buying some supplies again. My mother has finally accepted the fact and put money into my bank account. I HAVE POKEBALLS ONCE MORE! Six to be exact!
After doing more menial chores (reviving my Ryhorn, getting some lunch), I walked into the Viridian Forest so I could continue to Viridian City. I don’t know why the forest was shaped in the way it was, it just seems weird to put a fence randomly ending at a bunch of trees. Although, it also seemed odd that I couldn’t actually climb up a tree, so I have a lot to learn about the real world (like why I can’t run), I guess.
During my time in the dark forest, I ran into many a wild Rattata, Pidgeys, and Butterfree. I wished to test my skills and catch more Pokemon in which to do my bidding, so I decided to chuck rocks at the first few I found. I was not very successful. Rattatas gnawed at my legs (WHY DID I WEAR SHORTS!?), Pidgeys flew away, and a Butterfree poisoned my Ryhorn. I don’t think the poor fella is going to make it.
After chatting with a few Youngsters down the road, I learned that in order to catch Pokemon, I have to think like Pokemon. It wasn’t until after that I learned he meant that my Pokemon had to do epic battle with others, not killing them, but just maiming them enough so they would be crammed into a small ball. So, my party has reached five! I have a poisoned Ryhorn, a Phallic Symbol (Diglett), a Rattata with it’s tail ripped off, a Pidgey with no beak, and a Butterfree with only one wing (I probably should have taken it easier on the Butterfree….)
So, after the longest day of my life, I made it to Viridian City. I marveled at the full three buildings the city had to offer in awe and amazement. That is to say, I marveled until I realized Pallet Town was three fences away, so I hopped them in order to get to my destination.
I reached a laboratory (why is it in the most country-town of all) and found a very old-man. This is when I chose to ask this good gentleman for a PokeDex. He ruffled my hair, gave me a lollipop and told me that he would call my parents to come get me.
I didn’t want to be sent back to Celadon! I couldn’t face my mother again, I was going to be so grounded! I would be sleeping out on the lawn and she would take our one bedroom! So, as he left, I ran after him, pleading for him not to call my mother, crying as I did so. It was quite embarrassing (seriously. I hugged his leg!) So, in gratitude of my humiliation I was given a red thing that looked like a calculator, and a poke ball that was lying around (it has a lizard in it, but the lizard’s on fire. Is that normal?)
I walked out (I still can’t seem to run), but happened to trip over some shoes outside the laboratory. Realizing I wasn’t wearing nice ones, I threw away my clogs and put on these wonderful shoes in replacement.
… I can run now.
So I ran. I ran as fast as I could. All the way back to Viridian City. … I am pooped.
