Pokémon Crystal #2
The adventure continues! I’m on my way to Azalea town, to take down the next gym! On my way there though, i have encountered some strange people, catched new pokémon, had one of my pokémon evolve; and went back to start… for the most useless (in my eyes) reward i could have ever received! Here, let’s start:
You sell a what?
This guy right here. I mean, sure thing, they HAVE to eat something in the Pokémon world too… BUT COME ON! How on earth, this piece of shit dude actually chopped the tail off a Slowpoke, and now wants to sell it for 1,000,000 PokéDollars. One thing is the tail, that is messed up on for sure… but then; THE PRICE. What is this tail made of?! is it perhaps one of the infinity stones?! can it play Crysis?! WHO KNOWS?!?!
Either way. Screw that guy. No, seriously. Lord have mercy upon his soul.
Croco my naw!
That’s right! At level 18, my Totodile evolved into Croconaw (Woohoo!) A long awaited evolution. I mean, look at this bad-boy teenage punker with a mohawk and fangs! what’s not to love?! This will surely boost the attack value of my team, and he will be able to deal with most things coming our way going forward!
Eggshells
The egg hatched, and out came Togepi! A new addition to the team, that i plan to give a permanent spot from now until the very end of my playthrough. This will be really exciting. I mean, i have only had it for a short while, and most of it’s training and leveling so far has been through switching in and out of combat, to “leech” experience. But i mean, at one point - this little egg will be able to pull his weight! I’m sure of it! And.. come on, look at the little guy! Ain’t he cute?!
He asked me to call…
So. I called. Spoiler: I should never have called. The professor wants me to go all the way back to the starter town, so i can show him this pokémon. i mean, sure, i get it. Being a scientist, something happens, of course you’d like to see it for yourself - not let some “kid” explain it to you over the phone. I get it. But come on! either way… i went back to start.
Prof.Elm, never give presents.
He starts off great, look: A compliment! Gee, professor! thanks man! Following this, he is startled and surprised with pokémon coming from eggs. sure, i can see the scientific interest in that, indeed.
Now. To the token of appreciation for helping to discover this scientific “breakthrough”: an EVERSTONE. A fucking Everstone. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHY! This is, hands down, just a messed up joke. Here i have literally contributed to the science of evolution (with how some pokémon repopulate and so on) - and then he rewards me with the one thing that stops evolution of a pokémon.
Seriously, Elm… my dude. Never give presents. Just show up, try to crack a few jokes, or just don’t. at least you didn’t bring a shitty gift: that is good. You sir, deserve to have your pokémons stolen. Now, i will have to walk back to where i was, with my crappy new Everstone as a memory of what a Grinch you are. Bastard. DAMN YOU, ELM!
Back in Azalea - the team so far:
I got back to Azalea, to get back to my journey and quest to become the pokémon champion. Now, with my new Everstone that i can’t wait to get sooo much good use of. Curse you, Prof.Elm.
Either way, as you can see, i have also catched an Onix that i plan to keep in my team! We’ll see if it gets a permanent spot, but i will try to make it so that it’ll work. I’ve never actually actively used Onix in any playthrough i think, so that’s exciting!
