@Weavile05 Thanks! I thought I'd be a fresh way to look at things. And you most certainly may use that idea, I haven't copyrighted it. ;)
Also, if these need to stay in spoilers, someone tell me and I'll put them in spoilers from then on.
Day 3
I got up much earlier than I did yesterday, and it was before Wingman was awake. I flipped his bag open and rooted through it. As I was moving things aside, the stone from yesterday came tumbling out. I backed up and looked at it. It was a black rock, very reflective of the light, and very jagged on the edges.
The rock captured all my attention and I couldn't pull myself away from it, even as Wingman began to wake up. He started to say something to me, and then noticed that I was getting closer and closer to the stone. He tried to yank it away from me, but my horn touched it before he could.
Suddenly, a familiar feeling of overflowing power ran through me. It felt just like the feeling I had when I evolved in Viridian Forest. Then I realized that I was evolving again. My body went through drastic changes. My whole body doubled in size, and my horn grew twice as long. I felt myself pull upward into a two-legged stance. A huge tail sprouted from my rear, and my limbs became thicker and more armored, as well as more powerful.
I was shocked. I didn't even know I had an evolution past Nidorino. Nobody back where I used to live was anything else higher than that. I studied my new body with great interest. I flexed my arms and my new fingers, took a few tentative steps around, swung my tail about a bit, and threw a few practice punches. Then I noticed Wingman looking at me with an upset expression.
Instantly my heart sank. I knew I had done something wrong, and Wingman scolded me slightly for it. He told me that the stone, which was now gone, was a Moon Stone, and he planned to use it later to evolve me into what he called a Nidoking.
Then he sighed and said it didn't really matter, because he was going to do it today anyway. I still felt bad about the whole thing.
Wingman and I packed up the equipment (I could actually help him now, and that lifted his mood a bit) and we left for Lavender Town. With the roads to Saffron closed down, he told me, we'd have to detour through Lavender to get to Celadon. Unfortunately, there was a huge Snorlax in the way, and it wouldn't budge.
I cast my vote towards just attacking it now and moving on, but Wingman didn't want to disturb it until he really needed to. And since there was one more way to get to Lavender...
Of course, before we left, Wingman got a video call from some old guy and was told about some other guy waiting for him by Pewter City. Then he introduced me to the guy, who was called Professor Oak. He seemed impressed that Wingman had caught such a large Nidoking, and Wingman told him that he had caught me as a Nidoran♂ and that I was unusually large back then, too.
TL;DR Time!
-We had to go through Diglett's Cave to get there
-Exited on Route 2
-Found the guy Oak was talking about
-Got HM 05, Flash
-Returned to Vermillion
-Ran back to Cerulean and headed east
-Beat all the poor trainers there
-Got to the entrance of Rock Tunnel
-Was healed by the conveniently place PokéCenter there
-Entered Rock Tunnel
-HOLY MOTHER OF MEW it is dark in there
-Thankfully, that Pikachu that starts our fires for us could learn Flash, and that lit a good area around us up
-Wandered around aimlessly, not sure of where to go
-Finally made it to the exit
-Reached Lavender Town
-Promptly left Lavender, as it was only a stop over
-Headed west towards Celadon City
-Went under Saffron again in a tunnel
-Arrived in Celadon
I swear, these cities are getting bigger and bigger. And Celadon was the biggest yet. The buildings towered way above me, even now that I was about the same height as Wingman. I wonder if he felt as intimidated as I did...
Anyways, he and I both noticed the presence of those Team Rocket people from Mt. Moon. Wingman was upset by this, and he told me that we'd try to figure out why they were here after we beat the Gym.
At the Gym, we met some old man who was peering into the window and drooling. I looked at what he was looking at and saw all the girls in the Gym. What a pervert. As we passed him, I couldn't help but whack him in the back of the head with my tail. He fell to the ground, but he was still breathing so I didn't really care.
In the Gym, Erika was teaching a flower arrangement class to a couple of young ladies. She saw us walk in and agreed to put her class on hold for a battle.
The battle field was little more than a field of grass and a few bushes. Her Pokémon were all of the Grass type, so the field did make sense, but I was kind of hoping for a fake forest. Anyway, back to the battle.
Both Victreebel and Vileplume were part Poison type, so Poison Sting didn't do as much to them. I was forced to ram them with a regular Horn Attack. Her Victreebel forced me to fall asleep with a Sleep Powder, however, so half of that battle I have no idea what happened. I just know after I woke up, I was a little bit in pain. Tangela was her only other Pokémon, and a few Poison Stings put it in its place.
For our victory, Wingman received the Rainbow Badge, a TM, and the admiration of a lot of pretty girls. I got pretty much nothing, but I was OK with a good battle and some more skill. Although I did get some attention from the girls as they pointed out how cool I was. I couldn't help but feel pretty proud about that.
Moar TL;DR!
-Found a Rocket grunt going into a building, looking a bit sneaky
-Listened in as best as we could
-Heard that Team Rocket was associated with the Game Corner
-Entered the Game Corner and saw a Rocket there guarding a poster (screwball)
-Beat him and pushed him aside
-Searched the poster and found a button
-Pushed it and revealed a secret set of stairs
-Climbed down it and found a secret hideout
-Found some spinning tiles that forced us to move in certain directions
-Got really dizzy riding around on those
-Found a key to the elevator
-Took the elevator down to the boss
-He said we'd pay for meddling
-I easily beat the crap out of all his Pokémon
-He vanished and left behind some strange lens thing
-Wingman grabbed it and we left
Wingman decided that, since it was so late, we would stay the night at the hotel in the city. It was a strange change from the norm of sleeping on mats under an open sky. We couldn't even make a fire. Wingman and I each had a bed, but neither of us could get to sleep on them. Compared to the mats, the beds were just too much.
So we ended up rolling out the mats and putting a lamp without the shade on the ground by us. It seemed as close to a camp as we could get. He seemed to have forgotten the whole incident this morning and was his normal self again.
That made me realize something. I remember how some trainers interacted with their Pokémon, and they always treated them like equals in most areas, but the trainer always had ultimate power over the Pokémon. But that's not how Wing was. He always treated me like a total equal, and at times like an old friend...
I fell asleep wondering about why he did that.
