Pink, Day 17: The bloody confusing dark cave that bloody annoyed me!

Surfing had been going well for a long time but we found that neither of us could sleep since there was nowhere we could lie down (unless we drowned and our bodies would eventually sink to the bottom, meaning we could rest, but then that would involve dying).  We were stuck surfing until we could find dry land.  Vaporeon and I were both exhausted, especially me.  Trying to cling onto a small Pokémon in water as it paddled along was bloody near impossible!

Now surfing had been tough but ohhh boy, battling on water was bloody tougher!  Swimmers just seemed to love challenging me even though I was ready to to snap and kill anyone who would stop me from getting on DRY BLOODY LAND.  CAN YOU PLEASE LEEEEAVVEEE MEEEE ALLLONNNEEE WHILLLE I BLOOODDYYY STRUGGLE IN THIS BLOOODDYY WATER YOU BLOODY IDIOT?!

They just kept bugging me.  Not only did I have to deal with all that, I had to put up with a relentless wave of Tentacool!  I didn't bother to capture one of those bloody things.  Nope.  I made sure each one died, and as painfully as possible!  Bloody things!  It was as if there were millions of them, ready in waiting.

It was an hour before Vaporeon and I saw dry land, and boy, were we happy to see it!  We both headed right for it and got on that bloody dirt and almost kissed it… until I realised we weren't on bloody Cinnabar Island.  Drained, Vaporeon collapsed on the ground and with regret; I put it back into its Pokéball.  Hopefully he would be feeling up to more swimming later on.  Perhaps.

I was going to just sit there and do some fishing but I noticed a cave entrance, so instead I decided to have a look round.  It was dark and there were tons of Pokémon… tons.  They looked really powerful too.  I was worried my Pokémon couldn't be able to beat them.  Maybe I should have gone back, trained some Pokémon or something.  Maybe I should give my Uncle Gio a call and he could get me out of here somehow.  Nope.  I had no phone signal.  Things just weren't going my way.

I dragged out Machamp and attempted to go inside.  However, Machamp didn't want to go inside.  Instead, he stood outside and folded his four arms.  I threatened I would start surfing again and he would be the one to do it, to which he ran into the cave as fast as he could.  I am such a good trainer.

We entered and I scanned the area for any Pokémon to avoid.  The place looked creepy and it was within a few steps in that we got attacked by a wild Pokémon.  It was a water type, a Krabby.  After a single punch from Machamp the Krabby rolled over and admitted defeat.  I then threw a Pokéball at it and caught the little thing.

I guessed I had over-reacted about the Pokémons' strength.

After about half an hour of wandering around, climbing down ladders (ladders in a bloody cave!), falling down holes, fighting and eating water Pokémon, Machamp and I finally took a rest.  I don't know how deep we were in the cave but I was too tired to care.

Halfway through eating a... Golduck I think it was (not bad tasting by the way), I noticed we were being watched.  It was a large blue bird that stood nearby, watching us with narrow eyes.  I offered the bird some of the Golduck.  At first, the Pokémon refused but then it came over and took a bite.  After a little while, all three of us were eating water Pokémon.  The meal was quite delicious and we soon felt refreshed.

Curious, I pulled out my Pokédex to figure out what the blue bird was but the batteries were bloody flat.  Never mind.

Machamp and I got up to leave, and as we did, the blue bird followed.  It was probably still hungry but I had no more food to give it.  Once it realised this, the blue bird got angry and started pecking towards me.  Machamp deftly hit the bird down to the ground but the blue bird got back up and blasted Machamp with ice.  Machamp was frozen and couldn't move, so I threw out Gastly and Growlithe.  They did their best but soon fainted.  Next up was the new Pokémon of my team, Nidoran.  The poor little guy lasted a measly five seconds.  But ah, Dratini.  There was a reason why I loved you.  Once I brought the magnificence out, the blue bird got nervous and started to try to escape.  I tossed a Pokéball in its direction but the Pokémon wriggled free of the Pokéball (how did it even do that?!).

Dratini tried attacking it and to her merit, Dratini's attacks were effective yet the blue bird stood.  I chucked another Pokéball and another and another until I seemed to be swimming in Pokéballs on the cave floor.  Just how many did I have?

Eventually, Dratini became too tired to attack but equally, the blue bird was tired too.  I only had one last Pokémon left.  Vaporeon.  Quickly, I picked up a few of the Pokéballs that were on the floor and hurled the lot of them towards the blue bird.  The blue bird escaped out of one but then got caught in another, escaped that one, got caught in yet another… then… wiggle… wiggle… wiggle… GOT IT!  I didn't know what it was but I got the bloody thing!  After a few moments, the Pokéball containing it disappeared magically.  Technology really was getting weird.

My Pokémon and I were now too tired to move.  We rested around a fire sustained weakly by Dratini and Growlithe.  It was better than nothing.  Fingers crossed there would be no more dreams for me.  I really had had enough.

Hope to see you again soon.
