Pink, Day 37: Weird.

Hello, and welcome to the Pokémon Center!

Well... I had another dream.  This one was a bit creepy and I have barely slept since.

--

"DING DONG!"

Fool was laughing madly while he ran around the hall, pointing at people and shouting that they were going to die in a few minutes.  He announced his plan had been successful..

Guards with Pokémon entered the hall and ordered Fool to stand still.  Fool just laughed.  "Who do you think you are with your white coats and your fancy blood?"

What had I done?  What monster had I brought into this place?  As soon as I met him, I was suspicious and wary but I didn't act upon my feelings.  I could have stopped him.  I should have.  Hastily, I released my Pokémon and told them to start helping injured people out of the hall.  Many of them couldn't be moved and most of those were who Fool had pointed at.  What was I supposed to do?

"DINNER'S SERVED!"

Fool threw out seven PokéJars and out came large creatures, the like I had never seen.  Quickly, they charged at the guards' Pokémon, ripping small Pokémon to shreds and damaging large Pokémon severely.  Not even a Blastoise could battle such tyrannical fiends.

While this horror happened, Fool brought out an Abra and it lifted Fool into the air using its abilities.  "I've marked the ones the Tyranitars will eat and the rest will face the explosions!"  Ten more PokéJars fell from his hands and each one sent out a Weezing.  Smokescreens smothered the air.  I could barely see to move.

A loud sound rang my ears to the point where I could only hear buzzing and I felt my body slam against a nearby wall.

Darkness followed.

A quick visit to the Pokémon Center allowed me to heal my Pokémon and get a drink of water.  The Nurse Joy was very nice to me and even gave me some food for my travels.  She said she will see me again soon to check on my progress.  What a nice----my mind feels a bit numb, I think it was the dream messing with my head.  I needed to ring Uncle Gio.  He could----and then I switched Growlithe for Ponyta.  Fluttershy immediately ran for the nearest corner.  Poor thing.  I presented Dratini for her to gain some confidence and upon leaving the Center, I got on the saddle and began my journey towards Celadon City.  My aim was to get back to Fuchsia City and surf back to Cinnabar Island for my seventh badge.  I really was catching up to Cyan now.

As I made my way out of Vermillion, I saw a large ship at the harbor near the Pokémon Gym.  A passing man told me it was called the S. S. Anne and would be sailing for a cruise in a few weeks.  I smiled and continued on my journey.  Perhaps I could go for a cruise after the Pokémon League was over.

Getting to Saffron was relatively easy and I saw that the city was finally starting to look like its old self.  To this day, I still don't know how it happened----wow, was I proud of Machamp for doing this.  I thought that maybe Machamp could come back here to do some more damage.  Just to annoy the authorities.  That would----and so I finally reached Celadon City.  I decided to walk the rest, giving Fluttershy some rest in her Pokéball.  Dratini too.  As I went, I tripped over a young girl splashing about in a puddle.  The girl kept saying.  "Magikarp, Magikarp, Magikarp!"  Kids really loved Pokémon.

Eventually, I got to the edge of Celadon and noticed an old man outside a house.  He came up to me looking rather disgruntled.  "Do you know what this is for?"

I saw in his hands a set of headphones accompanied by a CD player.  "It's for teaching Pokémon moves."

"A good reply.  I am relieved to hear you say that m'lady Joy.  Where are my manners?  I am Maechen, a scholar.  At your service, m'lady.  I am on a journey, discovering the history of our world.  It is an interesting place to be sure.  To explore it adequately and to see the real magic one has to take to the skies.  This HM02 will do that for you.  It is yours to teach to a Pokémon that can fly.  Now understandably, Pokémon can fly on their own but forcing them to carry a person is a very dark thing to do.  In my days, I have seen many trainers make their Pokémon lift them into the air.  Most Pokémon treated like that cannot survive for long, but with this, they can manage the task extremely well.  It gives them the necessary information to cope with such a challenge."

The old man smiled and gave me the HM02.  I took it and looked to my Pokémon.  Only Articuno was a Flying Type and he had been nothing but trouble.  He would do as he was told.

I left Maechen to go back to Celadon to stay the night while Articuno learned how to Fly.  Hopefully, I would make it in time to see my Uncle Gio.  I could feel my moods changing randomly.  At times, I was nice and others, I was myself.  Or was I?  Something was strange.

Hope to see you again soon.
