    Day 35

    Sunny
    Current mood: happy
    Current location: Azalea Town, resting at Kurt's house

    Dear Diary:

    We're still resting in Kurt's house this afternoon. It's all right--the weather has improved very nicely since we handled the situation at Slowpoke Well. In fact, Ash let me sit out on the deck while I had my lunch today. We have a new member in our party too--a shy Pineco. He doesn't talk much, but he's good for an impromptu fireworks display.

    After lunch, Ash showed Kurt the GS Ball and asked if he knew anything about it. Despite his best efforts, Kurt had no idea what it was used for, but told us he'd look at it more closely, and gave us each a Fast Ball for our efforts.

    Ash then decided to call Prof. Oak and tell him that the GS Ball had gotten to Kurt's house safely. The professor was very pleased at this, and told Ash that Kurt was a reowned Poke Ball maker. Amazed by this, Ash quickly said goodbye, and raced off to Kurt's workshop, located behind the house. However, Mazie stopped us and told us to stay out of the forge room. Before long Kurt emerged from his workroom, and Ash requested that he make a Poke Ball for him.

    Kurt told us that if we went to the Apricorn Hills to the west and gathered some Apricorns for him, he'd make us all the Poke Balls we wanted. On that note, Mazie led us into the Hills and gave us each a basket for holding our Apricorns.

    The first tree we passed held pink Apricorns, which make Love Balls. Just the thought of a Love Ball sent Brock into crazy romantic mode, but Misty snapped him out of it by telling him they wouldn't work on Officer Jenny or Nurse Joy anyway. Not to mention that the Apricorns weren't even ripe to begin with, so Brock's dream of a Love Ball was quickly dashed.
    The next tree contained yellow Apricorns; which make Moon Balls. I ran up to the tree, and saw several Pineco sleeping on the trunk. Mazie cautioned that Pineco will explode if they are disturbed, but her warnings went unheeded as Brock approached the tree, making clicking noises with his tongue. The Pinecos ruffled their leaves back in reply. Just as Brock reached out to touch the Pinecos, he tripped on a tree root and went sprawling into the grass, with the Pineco exploding on top of him on the way down. Needless to say, he was coughing out dust for a good few minutes after he initially recovered.
    As we went further into the forest, we passed a green Apricorn tree; which make Friend Balls. Ash was about to go pick some when he heard a low buzz overhead--that meant a swarm of Beedrills were coming!
    We ran as fast as we could, but in our panic, we went tumbling over an embankment, losing the Beedrill. With the Beedrill gone, we continued on our way towards the next grove, only to fall into a Team Rocket trap!
    Jessie shoved me inside a shock proof jar while the others were thrashing about in confusion. From my glass prison, I saw Mazie try to climb out, but she was tiring quickly! Ash quickly summoned Bulbasaur, who made a Vine Whip for them to climb on. once back on the ground again, Ash and the others gave chase to Team Rocket, but not before they fell into a Diglett hole, breaking me free.

    With Team Rocket out of the way, we continued into the hills. Mazie went on to explain that blue Apricorns make Lure Balls, and black Apricorns make Heavy Balls. Ash decided he'd pick some blue Apricorns, but before he could get close, the clicking of Pineco leaves surprised him, sending him tumbling into the grass. Brock tried to get a closer look, but suddenly, a strange wind blew all teh Pineco away, sending Brock scrambling to catch them before they hit the ground.

    It turned out that Team Rocket had made the strange wind with a giant fan. Ash told me to try and Thunderbolt the fan, but even that was too no match for the gale Team Rocket was generating. Meanwhile, Brock kept grabbing the Pineco, until one decided to snuggle in his arms. Team Rocket sent Arbok and Victreebell after it, but Brock caught the Pineco just seconds before Arbok and Victreebell landed their attack! I decided to knock both of them out with a well timed Quick Attack, followed by short circuiting the fan with a Thunder attack. By that time, Team Rocket had fled.

    We returned to the house with a grand haul of Apricorns, and Mazie told Kurt about our adventure. Meanwhile, Brock asked the Pineco if he could be its friend. Pineco promptly gave an explosion of approval, leaving a big crater in the floor and more dust for Brock to cough up! I think he's still coughing up dust, so he isn't in a guitar playing mood tonight.

    I'd better wrap this up--we're headed for Azalea Gym in the morning!

    Until tomorrow,
    Pikachu

    Sunny
    Current mood: estatic!
    Current location: Just outside Azalea Town

    Dear Diary:

    Yay! The second Johto badge is ours! But my ears are still ringing from all the screaming Misty did today...I'm surprised she hasn't caught laryngitis yet!

    "Why was she screaming?" you ask? It started this morning when we departed for the Gym. Misty was a little worried about how Ash would do without Charizard, but Ash assured her than Cyndaquil was quite capable of doing the job, despite his small size. On that note, we entered the Gym.

    At first glance, the Gym's interior looked very much like a forest. No sooner had we stepped inside, did a Caterpie come crawling down from a tree to greet us! You could say the whole town heard the ensuing scream.

    I heard a bit of giggling coming from another tree as Brock tried to peel Misty off of him. Ash looked in the same vicinity I was looking, and discovered a young boy clad in safari attire sitting comfortablely atop a high branch, apparently amused by Misty's fear. He quickly climbed down and introduced himself as Bugsy, resident bug Pokemon extrordinaire. Ash's offer of a duel was promptly accepted: a three-on-three match with a badge as the prize.

    "Gold side ready?" Bugsy just stretched his arms, anxious for the duel to start. "Silver side ready?" Ash gave Brock an affirmative nod. Misty's screaming drowned out the whistle when she saw what Bugsy summoned: a Spinarak. Ash, meanwhile, decided to summon Cyndaquil. He looked a little woozy, but Ash figured he'd warm up soon enough.

    The Spinarak kept firing String Shots all over the place, and likewise; Cyndaquil kept dodging them. It wasn't too long before the entire arena, and Cyndaquil too, was covered in string. As I watched Cyndaquil frantically attempt to get free, I swore I saw some of the plants in the room start to approach us. The other bugs seemed to notice as well, wrapping Team Rocket up in string!

    Back in the arena, Ash called for Cyndaquil to use a Flamethrower; but all Cyndaquil could do was muster a few embers--it was enough to break him free of his bindings. Before he could attack again, he was poisoned! Ash quickly called him back and summoned Chikorita, giving Brock time to give Cyndaquil an Antidote.

    Chikorita proved to be quite the opponent for the Spinarak as she whacked it with endless Vine Whips. Suddenly, the Spinarak decided to attack from the air, but Chikorita used her Sweet Scent to lure it down. She then slammed into it, defeating it!

    Bugsy's second Pokemon, a Metapod, proved to be a problem for Chikorita. Despite her strongest attacks, the Metapod kept Hardening itself. Then it Tackled Chikorita, knocking her out! Ash whistled for me, and I charged into battle!

    The Metapod, meanwhile, began kicking up a lot of dust, making it nearly impossible to see. I could still hear Metapod, though...so I began charging my agility, dodging attacks as I ran. I whizzed up to the Metapod and knocked it out so quickly, I felt like a Thunderbolt myself!

    We were all shaking as Bugsy summoned his best: a Scyther! I promptly fired a Thunderbolt at it, weakening it a little. But, the Scyther began to Slash me again and again, draining nearly all my strength! I weakly crawled back to the sidelines as Cyndaquil entered the arena again, good as new.

    After more dodging, Cyndaquil fired a Flamethrower at the Scyther, but he blocked it with a Swords Dance! Finally, Ash told Cyndaquil to jump and use Flamethrower from the air--and the plan worked! Scyther was knocked out! We all cheered as Brock declared "Game set! Silver wins!"

    Bugsy was quite proud of Ash as he gave us a Hive Badge, so much so that he asked for a rematch the next time we came. As we departed the Gym, Kurt and Mazie gave us a few Lure Balls and a Heavy Ball as parting gifts before we left...

    ...and here we are in camp. Our next stop is Goldenrod City, Johto's largest city...I wonder what kind of Pokemon await us there?

    Pondering this until tomorrow,
    Pikachu

    Current location: Ilex Outpost

    Dear Diary:

    We're resting here at an outpost just oustide the Ilex Forest this evening, where a famed Charcoal maker and his son, Sylvester, live with their Farfetch'd. We would go through the forest tonight, but it would be too dark for us to see anything.

    Oddly enough, we arrived here by accident. After losing our way on Ilex Pass, we came upon Sylvester trying to tell Farfetch'd to Cut down a tree, but was not doing a good job of it. We tried to help, but Sylvester just shied away from us, embarrassed that we had found him. Ash tried to help Sylvester out, but when Sylvester asked Farfetch'd to Cut again, Farfetch'd simply refused.

    Sylvester told us that he dreamed of making Charcoal like his dad, but he didn't know how to control Farfetch'd, much less know the attack names! Ash just assured him that he and I started out on rough terms as well, but with time, we became fast friends and loyal teammates. He then gave Sylvester a little advice: You're only a loser if you're a quitter.

    We found the outpost's Pokemon Center not long after that, so Ash decided to call Prof. Oak again and tell him about our plans. Right as he got to the part about winning a badge, Sylvester raced into the Center, panicked that he lost Farfetch'd after some more practicing. Nurse Joy suggested that he look at his house. However, Sylvester wasn't too keen on that; since he was worried about his father's reaction. Ash quickly said his goodbyes to the professor and assured Sylvester that we'd help look for Farfetch'd.

    At the house, we found the Charcoal maker hard at work with his Magmar. When he heard what happened, he was not very pleased with Sylvester for losing Farfetch'd. It looked like the lecture was about to turn into a shouting match, but Ash stepped in and explained that training Pokemon was more than just ordering the Pokemon around--you had to work as a team. On that note, we raced into the forest, where we met nearby a tiny shrine.

    Sylvester told us that the shrine was dedicated to the Legendary Pokemon Celebi; the "voice of the forest"...and that it was our meeting point for our search. As Ash and I hurried off to the west, I saw Brock try to summon Pineco, but he quickly called Pineco back before he could explode.

    We were about to give up when Heracross informed Ash that Team Rocket had captured Farfetch'd! We called for the others, and sure enough, Team Rocket was there, tying Farfetch'd in a net!

    Ash summoned Bulbasaur and Chikorita to deal with Arbok and Lickitung, but their efforts didn't even faze them. Then, Weezing and Victreebel joined the duel! Weezing would've poisoned Ash with Sludge; had Brock not summoned Onix to toss Weezing away! Misty decided to summon Poliwag; and told him to hose us down to clean us up.

    Weezing and Victreebel were about to attack us again, but Squirtle washed them both away with a nicely timed Hydro Pump. As Sylvester watched us combine our power to free Farfetch'd, he asked Misty why he couldn't get Farfetch'd to obey...Misty replied that Ash was working with us as a teammate.

    About that time, The Farfetch'd had been freed, found his leek, and was proceeding to give Team Rocket a beating. They tried to escape, but Farfetch'd Cut a tree down to block their path. As I gave Team Rocket their daily zapping, I noted that Sylvester was overjoyed that the Farfetch'd had Cut a tree. He then asked Farfetch'd to Cut the tree into logs. It obliged, and we carried the logs back to the house.

    The Charcoal maker was very pleased when Sylvester told him how he managed to get Farfetch'd to obey him, and as a reward, we received a bag of Charcoal; some of which we used for our campfire tonight. Ash also gave Cyndaquil a piece as well...maybe that will boost his fire power a bit.

    Dinner's almost ready, so I'll wrap this up and get ready to eat.

    Until tomorrow,
    Pikachu



    Day 38

    Warm and breezy
    Current mood: happy
    Current location: Kaiho Harbor

    Dear Diary:

    We arrived in Kaiho Harbor this afternoon, which is host to the famous Pokemon Swap Meet: an annual event where trainers gather to trade Pokemon. As we were exploring town, we found a boy conversing with his Wobbufett. The owner, a boy named Benny, was planning to trade Wobbufett so that he could train a different Pokemon. He offered to take us into town to trade, so we followed Benny and Wobbufett to the square.

    Just as we arrived, the ground started shaking as a stempede of Tauros and people raced by. Brock wondered what was happening, so a passerby explained that the Running of the Tauros was going on--whoever could touch a Tauros' horns won a prize. Ash wanted to try and run, but after he saw how big the stampede was, he quickly changed his mind. I was also relieved...had Ash actually ran, he probably would've been squished flat by all the Tauros!

    After the running ended, we followed the Tauros herd to Kaiho Stadium, where the Tauros dueled each other. Ash wanted to try this, so when we found the stadium's Pokemon Center, Ash called Prof. Oak right away and asked for one of his Tauros. In return, he sent Heracross back to the lab so Prof. Oak could examine him.

    The duel was quite exciting, and Ash received a medallion for his efforts. Beeny was amazed at Tauros' power and offered his Wobbufett for him. However, several other people made offers too! Ash politely declined them all, but offered to help Benny find a good trade for Wobbufett

    Benny tried offering for a Scyther, but was rejected. As we shopped for offers, I swore I saw Lady Snubbull in the crowd, looking for Meowth...but I shook off my gut feelings for the moment and continued searching.

    At that time, Psyduck decided to come out and look around, but Misty shooed him back inside his Poke Ball with threats to trade him if he didn't behave himself. Before long, we finally accepted an offer: Benny would get a Stantler in return for Wobbufett. They were about to finalize the deal until the other trainer decided that a Hoothoot was a better offer. Benny was crushed--he must've wanted that Stantler.

    Just then, we saw an angry crowd gathering--Team Rocket was there with a fake exchange machine! Before we could do anything, we were all fit to be tied. As Ash worked himself loose, he told the townspeople to try using the Tauros to get the Poke Balls back. But when we finally recovered them, we found they were empty!

    Jessie then summon what she thought was Lickitung, but out came Wobbufett instead. She tried an order, but Wobbufett just stood there. Ash ordered Chikorita to attack, but Wobbufetts counter sent her flying. He couldn't counter my patented Thunderbolt, however, and with that, Team Rocket and Wobbufett were blasted away.

    As we returned the lost Poke Balls, Benny was confused as to who gave him Licktung...so he just called a thank you into the crowd. We said our goodbyes and headed off to camp.

    I hope everyone that traded today was happy...

    Until tomorrow,

    Pikachu

    Current location: Tasukeru City

    Dear Diary:

    What a day! We're here in Tasukeru City, which is home to the Pokemon Fire and Rescue competition. Although Squirtle left our party today, I won't miss him too much; he has something more important to do with his teammates on the Squirtle Squad. He did go out with a bang by helping the Squad win the competition.

    The adventure began early this morning--I heard Ash chatting with Prof. Oak and saying hi to Heracross. I was about to go back to sleep when I heard a tell-tale guitar chord; that meant Brock was serenading Nurse Joy with a chorus of Well, I'm burnin' up, I got the fever! She's my perfect nurse, and I'll never leave her! Nurse Joy was a little flattered by the song, but she was busy tending to those Pokemon that were going to be in the competition, so Brock's dream of a date was dashed yet again.

    We then went around to explore the city, until Ash saw a poster advertising the competition. He wanted to try, but Misty wasn't sure he'd do very well with just Squirtle. Despite her protests, Ash ended up "borrowing" Psyduck and Staryu for the competition.

    As we waited on the schedule of events to arrive, we met up with an old friend: Captain Aiden and his team of Wartortles were relaxing in the waiting area, After exchanging some hellos and a bit of a chat, Misty proceeded to tell Brock how we helped Captain Aiden during our trek in the Orange Islands. Not long after, I spotted Officer Jenny with the Squirtle Squad in the crowd, so we offered to share some practice time. Officer Jenny seemed to like that, so we headed off to the practice area. Team Wartortle seemed to be hosing down the flaming targets like popcorn; while the Squirtle Squad could barely knock down even one! However, Squirtle rallied his squadmates and before long, they were hosing the targets down like pros!

    The first event of the competition involved putting out a small house fire...and whoever put their fire out first, won. Ash and the others were doing great in the first round, but Psyduck got in Staryu's way, sending him into the blaze. Having to rescue Psyduck cost us the win for the round, frustrating Ash a little. But when Captain Aiden saw how strong the Golduck team we were to face for the second round was; he worried that the Squirtles wouldn't be able to concentrate. Despite Officer Jenny's best efforts, the Squirtles were too afraid to do anything! I quickly shocked them back to attention, and we managed to rally enough to win the second round!.

    Before we could start the next event, more flames erupted into the arena, startling the crowds! Captain Aiden saw Team Rocket scorching everything with a flamethrowing machine, so he called his team into action; but Team Rocket decided to turn up the heat on them, rendering their most powerful attacks useless. The other teams tried to help, but Team Rocket captured me and all the Pokemon in the process!

    Squrtle told his squadmates that they were going to free me and the other Pokemon...so when the robot tried to squish them, the Squad jumped out of the way. With the robot distracted, Squirtle rammed into it with a Skull Bash; breaking us free! Before Team Rocket could do anything, Squirtle and I combined our power to send them flying!

    After several hours of hose squirting, more fire dousing, sliding down poles, dressing up in firemen suits, navigating smoky mazes, and other events, it came time for the final event: The Great Clefairy Rescue! Whoever rescued the Clefairy doll from the burning house first, won! I cheered my hardest as the Squad rallied from a bad start to win the competition by one measly little second! As Squirtle accepted the trophy, Ash said goodbye. I gave Squirtle one last hug as we departed for camp.

    Although we had fun today, I'm still going to miss Squirtle being here...but that's all right, because with a brave leader like him, the Squirtle Squad will be the best firefighters around!

    Until tomorrow,
    Pikachu



    Day 40


    Sunny
    Current mood: tired
    Current location: Goldenrod Bluff

    Dear Diary:

    I'm tired this evening, mainly because we had to referee a lot of mischevious Wooper today! In fact, Brock's still playing a Pokeflute for them and Misty's still singing to them as I write this...and Togepi's doing the percussion part.

    It started as we traveled along Goldenrod Bluff this morning...Misty suggested we sing a song to help pass the time; so we skipped along, singing chorus after chorus of Valderi, valdera, valderi, valdera-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!

    Before Brock could start our fiftieth chorus, he felt something wet on his back, which surprised him to the point of tumbling down the bluff! Closer inspected revealed the wet feeling to be a Wooper that had been following us.

    The Wooper's owner, a girl named Alicia, came and helped Brock up. She explained that her Wooper liked clinging onto people, and that our singing must have fascinated it. Brock got his guitar and offered to serenade her, but Misty gave a resounding no. Ash told Alicia that Brock liked serenading girls; which Alicia found interesting because her crowd of Woopers loved singing too.

    As we approached Alicia's house, we saw lots of Wooper frolicking in the marshes and ponds. Alicia then told us that Wooper is the prevolution of Quagsire. Just the mention of Quagsire brought back memories of the Quagsire that took the GS Ball.

    Misty wanted to see Alicia teach the Wooper, so Alicia reached for a tambourine and began to sing to the Wooper as she shook it; coaxing the Wooper to join in.

    The song went something like this:

    https://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Field/6602/SanjiNoYousi_TheThreeOClockFairy_.mid

    Hey look, and listen so carefully,
    To such a sweet little melody,
    The fairy of dreams is calling you!
    Listen, oh listen, to hear her call!

    She knocks on the door so quietly,
    "Wake up, and hurry!" she calls to me.
    On her ship of dreams we sail...
    To a land full of sweet dreams and treats!

    Oh, I am so full of dreams!
    Of mint pie and apple pie,
    Of sweet cake and happiness
    and cookie-ookie-ookies!

    I lick the last of this sweet pudding
    And then eat a little chocolate
    The fairy of dreams is watching me,
    Smiling down on us from above!
    Smiling down on us from above!


    After we applauded, Alicia got an urgent phone call: her mother had been rushed to the hospital with a broken leg, and her presence was needed immediately. She left us in charge of the Wooper as she rode off aboard her motorcycle.

    Brock wanted to play a game with the Wooper; but when he went to call them, they were nowhere to be found! I discovered a trail of water leading into the house; where we discovered the Wooper had nearly trashed the living room! So Brock offered some of his homemade Pokechow to the Wooper, and they happily snapped it up! Misty then remembered the Wooper liked to sing; but when she tried to play a rhythm to get them to dance, they were too engrossed in their snack to dance! However, Brock found a Pokeflute lying in the clutter and started to play the tune to "Fairy of Dreams"; which snapped the Wooper to attention! Togepi decided to play the tambourine while Misty, Ash, and I sang the song. Brock led our little parade outside as we sang:

    Hey look, and listen so carefully,
    To such a sweet little melody,
    The fairy of dreams is calling you!
    Listen, oh listen, to hear her call!

    She knocks on the door so quietly,
    "Wake up, and hurry!" she calls to me.
    On her ship of dreams we sail...
    To a land full of sweet dreams and treats!

    Oh, I am so full of dreams!
    Of mint pie and apple pie,
    Of sweet cake and happiness
    and cookie-ookie-ookies!

    I lick the last of this sweet pudding
    And then eat a little chocolate
    The fairy of dreams is watching me,
    Smiling down on us from above!
    Smiling down on us from above!


    However, when we did a headcount, we saw that one Wooper was missing! Misty, Ash and I volunteered to go after it while Brock entertained the others. We chased it all over the house, all over the bluff, and ultimately out to a rickety old bridge! As we started to cross, the Wooper taunted us a bit. I followed it acrioss as Misty tried singing "Fairy of Dreams" in hopes it would follow us. Strangely enough, the Wooper decided to jump on the bridge in rhythm to the song, leaving Misty and Ash hanging on for dear life!

    I found the Wooper captured by Team Rocket! They tried to coax me into their trap, but I refused. About then, Ash and Misty arrived; so Team Rocket summon their entire team to duel us! But, Brock arrived with Alicia to halp, so Alicia told the Wooper to combine their power, which was enought to send Team Rocket packing.

    Alicia thanked us for helping her out, and offered to let us camp here on the bluff. So here I am, sitting here in the tent and watching these Woopers on parade..."Fairy of Dreams" is so catchy, I can't get it out of my head!

    Trying not to sing along until tomorrow,
    Pikachu

    Current location: Onix Pass

    Dear Diary:

    We're resting out here on Onix Pass this evening, which is also home to Onix Tunnel. Oddly enough, Jigglypuff befriended Lady Snubbull today, and together, the two of them helped us chase Team Rocket away.

    So where do I begin...We had gotten on the pass late last night, but opted not to go into the tunnel until the morning...so we camped by the tunnel entrance that night. I woke up this morning to the sound of Brock coughing up dust...Pineco must've exploded in his face while he was practicing karate, I guess. I was about to go by the river to wash up when I saw Lady Snubbull pass our camp. Ash decided to run after her, but in her panic, she disappeared into the bushes. We just brushed it off, broke our camp, and continued on our way.

    A little further down the road, we saw Jigglypuff resting by a tree. We all panicked at first, because we knew what usually happened every time we met up with her: she would sing; we would go to sleep, and then she'd draw all over us while we were snoozing. However, Brock noticed that Jigglypuff didn't have her trusty mic...so we offered to help her find it. Jigglypuff was thrilled with this idea.

    After about an hour of searching, Jigglypuff found a basket of fruit on the path...but fell into a hole when she tried to take a bite. No sooner had Ash summoned Bulbasaur to help her out, she had fallen into another hole...and another! Frustrated, Jigglypuff fled into the forest nearby the tunnel, leaving us to search for her mic by ourselves.

    We were about to give up when I saw Jigglypuff and Lady Snubbull fighting over the mic, so we stepped in and seperated them. No sooner had we done this, did Team Rocket appear to duel! Misty was about to summon Poliwag; but Psyduck decided he wanted a piece of the action, much to Misty's chagrin.

    Ash summoned Chikorita to help, and before long, we combined our power to send Team Rocket flying! At this, Lady Snubbull abandoned the mic and ran in the direction that Team Rocket went. Jigglypuff was so glad to have her mic back, she started to sing...and I think you know what happened next.

    After we had awoken and cleaned ourselves off, we continued through the tunnel...and the local Onixes were all snoozing, thanks to Jigglypuff!

    ...and here we are in camp. I wonder what awaits us tomorrow?

    Until then,
    Pikachu




    Day 42

    Cold and misty
    Current mood: relieved
    Current location: Yamiinu Forest

    We're resting just outside Yamiinu City this evening...and I'm mainly tired from our run in with the local Houndours...first they took Ash's backpack, which soon turned into a wild adventure!

    The mayhem began this afternoon, when we stopped to rest for lunch. Ash had just gotten back from refilling our water supply when he saw that his pack was missing! Our only clue as to who-or what-stole it was an array of strange pawprints...so we searched our campsite for any more clues, then followed the prints into town. Upon arrival, we saw Nurse Joy panicked about something; but before Ash could ask what was wrong, Brock had gotten his guitar out and belted out a chorus of Nurse Joy? Won't you please? Cure me of this bad disease? That was about as far as he got before Misty dragged him off to serenade the trash cans and cardboard boxes in a nearby alleyway.

    After we had all recovered from laughing, Nurse Joy told us that she had been out shopping, but when she returned from buying some ice cream, the ham she had planned to have for dinner this evening was gone! I noticed more pawprints leading into the forest, and led the others into a small alcove; where we decided to camp for the night.

    Brock had a very clever idea for luring whoever stole our items to our camp: he added some meat flavoring to a tree branch, making it smell like a hot dog; then cooked a real hot dog...the plan was that the thieves would take the branch first, then return for the real hot dog when they discovered they had a fake. On that note, we went to bed for the evening.

    For a while, we slept peacefully. Then I heard some rustling by the tent around one this morning...I quickly alerted the others, and we rushed outside. Our perpatrators turned out to be a pack of Houndours...but they were not too happy about seeing us...so we charged to battle! But before a large scale duel could get underway, the lead male told the rest to the pack to hold off attacking--he wanted to duel Ash one on one.

    Sir Houndour tried to Leer me, but I Leered him back! I tried firing my strongest attacks at him, but before long, he blew a cloud of smog at me, buying the pack time to escape.

    It wasn't long before we discovered the reason that the Houndours were taking our stuff: one of the pack had been injured in a tussle with a Golem, and they were trying to help it. Before we could approach the Golem appeared--and he was not too happy to see us! The Houndour pack was no match for him, but Chikorita bravely defended the injured Houndour!

    After the dust had settled, Brock cleaned and dressed the Houndour's wound as best he could, but the Houndour were not too keen about the antibiotic spray we used, but Ash kept assuring them we were trying to help.

    When we checked on the injured again at three this morning, it was suffering from a serious fever. We all knew it wouldn't survive very long without some serious help, so we rushed as fast as we could to the Pokemon Center.

    The Houndour emerged from surgery a few hours later, good as new. But no sooner had Ash consoled it, did we discover that Team Rocket had taken all the other Houndours! Sir Houndour and I combined our power to send them fleeing. As thanks for rescuing them, the other Houndours all gave Ash lots of big wet kisses. After having breakfast with them, we continued on our way...our items in tow.

    I'm going to miss Sir Houndour...but I'll never forget him either.

    Until tomorrow,
    Pikachu




    Day 43

    Sunny
    Current mood: estatic!
    Current location: Totodile Cove

    Dear Diary:

    I'm glad to say that we have a new member of our party: a feisty little Totodile! Right now, he's putting on a little dance show while Brock plays guitar for him...and quite frankly, I'm quite enjoying the music. Not only that, but Poliwag evolved today! Now he's a strong Poliwhirl...but he still has his sweet side.

    You see, we passed by the cove this afternoon, so we stopped to rest and fish for a while. Before long, Ash was complaining about not catching anything. Brock suggested that maybe we were using the wrong bait, but that didn't stop Misty from begging Ash to quiet down. Just before the argument could heat up, Misty's line started jerking...but it turned out that she caught a tea kette. Brock suggested that Misty try for a coffeemaker; but I'll never forget Misty's reply: "I CAME HERE FOR POKEMON, NOT APPLIANCES!"

    Suddenly, I saw a Totodile emerge from the bushes, piqued by our argument. Misty vowed that she'd be the greatest Water Pokemon Master, and with that, cast her Mini-Misty lure into the water in hopes of catching the Totodile.

    I tried to weaken him a little, but Misty kept blocking my every move. Finally, the Totodile gave up on being caught altogether, forcing Misty and Ash to chase after it! I can definitely agree with Brock; this argument was going to need a referee.

    We found Misty and Ash fighting over the Lure Ball with Totodile inside...so Brock stepped in and explained that the only way to settle this was to duel.

    "Gold side ready?" Misty flashed a peace sign. "Silver side ready?" Ash gave an affirmative nod. "And three...two...one..." No sooner did Brock blow the whistle to start, did I find myself wrapped in Togepi's loving embrace...the strangely pleasant feeling left me not wanting to battle, so I retreated to the sidelines, giving Misty a cheap win.

    Next, Chikorita offered to duel...and she completely thrashed Staryu, tying the match at one win apiece. The tie breaker? Bulbasaur vs. Poliwag. Both fought hard, and were evenly matched...but before Brock could declare Ash the winner, Poliwag evolved, surprising Misty!

    Despite his best efforts, Poliwhirl was still no match for Bulbasaur, giving Ash the victory! However, before Ash could claim Totodile; Team Rocket arrived....but Totodile sent them packing right then and there. Misty forgave Ash for arguing earlier, saying that Totodile would like him more anyway; plus she had Poliwhirl...

    ...So here he is in camp, dancing away...Brock's about to start another song, so I'll wrap this up and enjoy the show.

    Until tomorrow,
    Pikachu

  • Sorry for the delay, guys...a preview for you:

    ...Where did you find a Skarmory to battle?" you ask? As we rested in the Enten City Pokemon Center this afternoon, one of the other trainers warned us that there was a trainer in the forest that was challenging everyone, and judging from how bad his Growlithe looked, he wasn't kidding. Ash seemed pretty confident he would be able to win, and on that note, we departed into the forest.

    As we approached the bridge leading to the forest, we noticed a young girl standing nearby, tending to a Skarmory. Not surprisingly, Brock had to race up to her and attempt to serenade her. The girl, Miki, wasn't interested in Brock's guitar and vocal skills...she wanted to see his dueling skills. A duel erupted right then: Skarmory vs. Vulpix. Despite his best efforts, Brock was utterly stomped flat!

    Ash decided to step up to the challenge, and sent Cyndaquil into the fray. Although the Skarmory weakened him a lot, he was about to deliever the final blow when Team Rocket captured them both! We managed to free the Skarmory (nearly squishing Brock in the process), but Cyndaquil was still in danger!...

  • Day 44

    Sunny
    Current mood: happy
    Current location: Enten Forest

    Dear Diary:

    We're resting in Enten Forest this evening...but I'm mainly proud of Cyndaquil. The reason? All that training Ash has been doing with him is starting to pay off...now he doesn't have to warm up before using his fire attacks! In fact, he used his newfound power to defeat a Skarmory!

    "Where did you find a Skarmory to battle?" you ask? As we rested in the Enten City Pokemon Center this afternoon, one of the other trainers warned us that there was a trainer in the forest that was challenging everyone, and judging from how bad his Growlithe looked, he wasn't kidding. Ash seemed pretty confident he would be able to win, and on that note, we departed into the forest.

    As we approached the bridge leading to the forest, we noticed a young girl standing nearby, tending to a Skarmory. Not surprisingly, Brock had to race up to her and attempt to serenade her. The girl, Miki, wasn't interested in Brock's guitar and vocal skills...she wanted to see his dueling skills. A duel erupted right then: Skarmory vs. Vulpix. Despite his best efforts, Brock was utterly stomped flat!

    Ash decided to step up to the challenge, and sent Cyndaquil into the fray. Although the Skarmory weakened him a lot, he was about to deliever the final blow when Team Rocket captured them both! We managed to free the Skarmory (nearly squishing Brock in the process), but Cyndaquil was still in danger!

    I led Ash after the balloon until we both started to tire...the Skarmory cut Cyndaquil free! Miki was impressed with Skarmory's bravery; so she offered to let us stay in her cabin by the woods until it cooled down a little, since it was too hot to travel, anyway.

    Once we had gotten settled in the cabin, Brock made us all a delightful dinner, which I think Miki thoroughly enjoyed. Flattered by Miki's compliments, he offered to let her join the party, but Misty snapped "Don't even think about it, Lovebird!"

    Ash was more interested in Skarmory...when he asked Miki's secret to being so string, she explained that she and Skarmory had been together for a very long time--probably even longer than Ash and I have. Ash vowed that he would get Cyndaquil as strong as Skarmory, if not stronger! With that, he raced outside to train Cyndaquil...which the last time I checked, he was still doing...I hope he's all right out there...

    Until tomorrow,
    Pikachu



    Day 45

    Sunny and cooler
    Current mood: proud
    Current location: Just outside Enten Forest, on the Goldenrod Plains

    Dear Diary:

    We made it onto the Goldenrod Plains this evening--that means Goldenrod City isn't too far off...but the main highlight of today? Ash fulfilled his vow to get Cyndaquil stronger! I'm proud of them both!

    It started this morning when Misty woke me instead of Ash--he had been gone the whole evening and most of the morning, so not surprisingly, Misty was yearning to go look for him.

    We found Ash around noontime, tossing sticks for Cyndaquill to roast. Amazingly, Cyndaquil was firing off Embers without needing to warm up! Not only that, but he had driven away a swarm of Beedrill by himself! It was then we decided that Miki and Ash should rematch.

    "Gold side ready?" Skarmory flexed his wings a little, anticipating the battle. "Silver side ready?" Ash gave Brock his signature nod. "And three...two...one..." When the whistle blew, Skarmory began kicking up dust, but Cyndaquil countered with a Smokescreen! Skarmory barely missed being hit by a Flamethrower, but Cyndaquil jumped out of the way of a Steel Wing!

    Ash and Miki realized the battle would probably go on forever if they just kept dodging, so both of them ordered full power attacks! Cyndaquil scorched Skarmory with a Flamethrower, but not before Skarmory squished him with a Steel Wing! Skarmory was about to deliver the final blow when Cynaquil jumped up and coupled a Flamethrower and a Tackle to win the match! I led the cheers as Brock declared "Game set! Silver wins!"

    Miki was impressed by Ash's skill and courage, as wished us luck on our adventure...after taking it upon herself that she would embark on her own adventure with Skarmory. Who knows? Maybe we'll see Miki in the League...

    Until tomorrow,
    Pikachu
