I was on the same bench as yesterday when I woke up. I found Machamp beside me, keeping guard. I guess my Pokémon sensed my uneasiness. Feeling awful, I could hear my stomach churn and my head throb. I was very much tired and perhaps still in shock too.
I had no idea where Purple and that lot were so I couldn't send a message to them, so instead, I tried calling Uncle Gio. This time he responded. I was relieved to hear his voice. He said he had been dealing with business but things were okay now. He asked about me but all I said was I hadn't yet managed to find out anything on Rayquaza. Uncle Gio said I should keep on the task but not to worry if it didn't lead anywhere since he had other things I could do if that didn't work out. Also, within the next few weeks, I could visit him. I could bloody visit him! I was soooo happy. I didn't mention any of the Nurse Joy business as I wasn't sure if it was real or not. Until I was sure, I didn't want to make myself look like a fool (or worse, childish - I'm looking at you Cyan!).
I decided that I would get the gym badge here in Fuchsia City
Before I went however, a man came up to me asking for me to go into the Safari Zone. It would only cost me 500 Pokémon Dollars and I would get to have 30 Pokéballs (special Safari ones) and some rocks. The rule was, I wasn't allowed to use my Pokémon, instead I had to use pure skill and wit. Also, I had a limited amount of steps I could make. I felt I didn't really have it in me to do any such thing but the man encouraged me and I ended up bloody following him into the place.
It turned out I wasn't the only bloody fool trying to be smart with a bunch of Pokéballs and some rocks, there were other trainers too. Quite a few in fact.
It was pretty dull to be honest and I decided that it wasn't for me, so I was about to leave... and a giant bug tried to attack me. I threw some rocks at it and then a few Pokéballs too. I didn't look back to see if I had caught it, and instead, ran out to leave the bloody Safari Zone. The Nurse Joy event had really affected me. I wasn't feeling myself. I just didn't have it in me to face such bloody nonsense.
Not sure what else to do, I headed for the Fuchsia City Pokémon Gym and entered it. I knew I wasn't really up to it... but I needed to clear my mind, or at least try to. Inside there was a large hall and a load of trainers stood about the place. Not one moved however. All stood still. I headed for one, thinking I could ask about the Gym Leader... and walked right into a bloody invisible wall. A BLOODY INVISIBLE WALL! WHAT THE BLOODY... OH MY HEAD HURT... MY BLOODY HEAD!
After that bloody ordeal, I held my hand out to make sure I wouldn't bump into anymore BLOODY INVISIBLE WALLS. Eventually I got to a trainer. Their Pokémon weren't very tough and my Growlithe made short work of their team. However, as I went through the hall, TOUCHING AROUND TO AVOID THE BLOODY INVISIBLE WALLS, I found I couldn't avoid any of the trainers. Not one. Every single bloody trainer wanted to battle with me! At the end of it, my Pokémon were tired and so was I. I didn't really want to fight the Gym Leader now but I knew it would take an hour just to get out of the bloody place. No, I was going to get this bloody badge and be bloody happy about it.
The Gym Leader's name was Janine and she moved as fast as her Pokémon did. It took a while, and most of my Pokémon were spent by the end of the battle, but I managed to beat her. She gave me the Gym Badge and helped me get out of the Gym since I was ready to pass out by the end of it. Normally I could endure such a long trial but today... everything seemed... harder.
Janine bowed then returned to her Gym. I on the other hand fell to the floor and passed out. I was doing that a lot recently.
Hope to see you again soon.
