Pokémon Crystal #4
My adventure in Johto continues! My skills were questioned, I rescued a bird, gave away a bug and received a “gift”.
See how good i am?!
On my way out of Azalea town, i met probably one of the most toxic people in this game. My “rival” Named him Kenny btw. (nothing against people named Kenny, or anything like that. One of my good friends’ nick actually - still!) He just couldn’t believe that i took down Team Rocket’s operation in the town. So we had to battle. Good. WATCH!
He leads on with a Gastly, easily taken down by my Spinarak using Night Shade. BAM! Next up, he goes for Zubat, i switch into Onix and Rock Throw his flying mouse into oblivion! 2 down, 1 to go! I always do this, and that is probably a sign of insanity - but i want my starter to fight his starter. He ends up almost destroying my Croconaw with his Bayleef, so i had to switch into Spinarak to take it out. I won, but poor Croco… darn.. Ah, yeah. He then blamed his entire team for being crushed by mine, and called them weak. Heeeeeeeh…. insert awkward smile :)
You lost the what now?
Finally, i can move onwards - with Kenny and his “big boys don’t cry”-attitude out of the way - i enter Ilex forest.
I meet a dude that has lost track of the bird he is supposed to watch -one job, watch a bird. Lost the bird. Nice- Either way, i go around and chase a bird for a little while. Good times. Afterwards, his boss rewards me with HM01 - Cut!
Take care - (i will forget you)
Out of the forest, i came across the Day-Care folks! Lovely! Now, I will just leave one of my ’mons here with you, probably never to return and pick it up. Oh, and if i do: maybe late game. That’s always such a treat! I also got something… holy moly, WHY - AGAIN!
I bid farewell to Kakuna - whom i just caught btw; no tears where shed regarding this. More like a cold-hearted moment: “So, i have put you here. This might look like a prison. Not saying it isn’t. See you around champ!”. I went outside to look this bug into the eyes as i will not return for some time. Awesome feature, to actually go out and interact with the pokémon you’ve left - neat detail! I also get another egg… wonder what’s inside this one?
