Cyan, Day 29: BURNING DESIRE!

I slept in the corner of the Gym last night. Now, I don’t know what has been said about the floor, but I would like to get rid of some unwarranted rumors about sleeping on the floor.

First of all, it is NOT good for your back. It’s painful and awful and should be outlawed as soon as humanly possible. Second, spiders DO crawl all over you. Rattatas too.

Rising up from my corner, I rubbed my eyes and put my classy hat back on (I LOVE THIS SUIT!) and waked up to the wall. Now there was something off about this wall, but the weirdest part was when there was not a door to be found inside of it. The second weirdest part is that the door started to talk to me. “Does Caterpie evolve into Metapod?” What kind of question was that!? How was I supposed to know? I started scratching my head (butt) and left a heavy sigh.

“Lugia did it?”

I used that answer for every single wall, and they let me in. Who knew Blaine was part of Lugitholocism? I thought I was the only believer! Heck, even my mom told me I was crazy! Who’s crazy now Mom, WHO’S CRAZY NOW!? Anyways, I don’t know what came over me. Praise be to Lugia for my good fortune.

Approaching Blaine, he did not look extremely happy at the fact that I had smashed his windowed door open with a rock. Giving me a stern but loving look, I looked back at the door, which still had glass falling off of it. “Uhhhhh… It was like that when I got here?” I stammered out. The Leader shrugged, and introduced himself as the great trainer of Cinnabar Island, going on his long speech of his rise to power and how I must use all my strength to make my dreams come true in this battle of supreme brutality. This was really the only part of his speech I caught, I spent the rest of the time staring out the window at the girls on the coastline, with their tiny swimsuits (my Metapod is using harden… Is this puberty?) while he spoke.

Finally, it was time to battle. Bringing out Rhyhorn, I watched as Blaine tossed out a Ponyta. Now, I don’t know exactly how Rhyhorn charging at Ponyta works out, but it does involve breaking all of Ponyta’s legs. With a large cruch, they were gone. Something amazing happened in this moment of leg breakery though… Rhyhorn emerged into a ball of light, and grew at least two feet. My PokeDex says it is now Rhydon, but he will always be my first Pokemon. Rhyhorn. After this small interruption, Blaine stared at Rhydon, gritting his teeth. I grinned.

Letting Blaine wallow in in his confusion, I threw out Wang Chung as a breaker. After all, I couldn’t let my Rhydon do all the work. The Growlithe charged valiantly for Blaine’s side, blasting a burst of flame in Wang Chung’s direction. He dodged in a showoff like fashion (Wang Chung is kind of a dick like that with the showboating), and kicked Growlithe as hard as he could. Off it went straight into the wall, until a flash of light went off, and Arcanine roared. I don’t remember exactly what happened, but I believe the words “Holy Feces” went through my head several times. The blast of fire was enough to severely burn Wang Chung. Back he went. Deciding fighting fire with fire was always a good idea, I decided to throw Charizard out into the mix.

It doesn’t take long for Charizard to get angry, but when he does, it’s freakin’ scary. Charizard went on a rampage, blasting fire and smashing various parts of the Gym. I did not know how well this plan would work, mainly because if Arcanine was actually attacked, it would be completely by accident (or because Arcanine was stupid enough to get in Charizard’s way. I mean seriously, who decides to screw with a seven foot dragon!?), but paid off in the long run. Arcanine ran at Charizard, biting hard into it’s tail. Charizard decided to return the favor by biting into Arcanine and shaking him like a rag doll. My eyes were wide, such violence. I was practically using Harden until I was out of PP by now.

Last, Rapidash was out to play with Charizard. It blasted fire at the beast but my Charizard blocked it with a wing. I love my Charizard. Headbutting Rapidash in the side of the stomach, it rammed it into a wall soon after, blasting itself off like a rocket. Blaine’s eyes went wide. He deposited Rapidash right before my Charizard blasted at him at 40 miles per hour. The wall crumbled under the severe force of Charizard’s head conquering it. I had won. I was almost through.

Before Blaine gave me the badge, he apologized for his inability to fight correctly. Apparently, Purple had been by lately, and his head had not been the same since. It was almost as if he was not his regular self, filled with such pride and moral gusto (I really don’t know what a gusto is, but he said it, not me.) I nodded to show I understood and then attached my seventh badge to my bag. I was almost out of this crap hole.

Before leaving the Gym, I realized the fact is, I had no idea who the eighth Gym Leader even was! I questioned Blaine, but even he had no insight as to who it could be. I remembered my encounter about a week ago, and the words went through my head that Giovanni would be very displeased with my inability to leave things alone. Could Giovanni be the last Gym Leader? No, that was just stupid.

Either way, I found a nice spot on the beach to rest of the last part of the day. Watching the lady’s sit on the beach, I felt quite at home as I wrote my letter to Purple, asking if he had any idea who the eighth Gym Leader may be. I wrote to Cool Trainer Andrew as well, not to ask this question but to make sure that he knew he was dirt as I moved up in the world quickly. I also wrote to a girl I had heard of, Pink McQueen asking if she knew of the Gym Leader. This was a mystery… I sent it off with a girl’s Pidgey I borrowed.
