Replanning

I had to leave the mountain, there was too much energy around and I could use some fresh air. This meant, of course, that I had to choose another path and there was only one left to take, considering I did not want to face the gym again, yet. The only path left, as the…

Excitement abound

The other trainer, a girl about my age was also pacing close to a cluster of benches but she did not sit down. Her lips kept moving as if she were muttering something to herself but I could not hear her. She walked right up to me as soon as she noticed me. – Do…

Bravado

I wasn’t the only trainer curious enough to wander in. There were two others walking about, searching the premises for information One of them, a young man, couldn’t seem to stand still and paced nervously backed and forth along the wall. I approached and asked if he was ok, if there was anything I could…

Record keeper

This was awe-inspiring, a true marvel of human ingenuity. It looked as if the mountain had been hollowed out in order to make room for this massive… whatever it was. There was a large board with a title on it :”Time board”. This board showed what I assumed to be the record time spend on…

Inside

It would seem I had gone as far as I could without reliving my failure, I had to go back and choose another path but not before at least exploring the man-made entrance into a mountain I had come across. There were no guards or doors, just a small corridor that opened up to a…

Unable to proceed

I left the eager trainer behind and made my way forward, right up until I was blocked by two large boulders, the same type of rocks I had seen inside the tunnel, the kind of stone I could remove by myself. No, to overcome this obstacle I would have to beat the gym where I…

Additional info

I walked away from the house and stumbled across an onlooker, one that approached me as soon as he saw me. – So how did it go? Did you win? Was it challenging? I told him of my reluctance but did explain it and he didn’t wait for it. – I challenged the Winstrate family,…

House up the hill

I thanked the young couple for the plentiful meal, wished them a good day and made my way up the road, didn’t have to walk very far before I spotted a large, yellow house with a white picket fence surrounding it. A large sign was posted outside with large black lettering on it: “Our family’s…

Spare meal

-Ooh lala! That’s a lot to take! I did not expect the battle to go like this. She looked behind her shoulder, towards the brazier whre meat was being turned over. The smell was intoxicating and my stomach responded with a loud growl. – Well, at least it seems like the food is ready. You…

Keep burning

A small orange pokémon appeared on the battlefield, one whose body singed the grass around it. The heat it released was so intense that its partner, Chatot, had to move a few meters away. – Really? You had to bring out that one? You know how dangerous it is to keep it from spreading fire…

Song and fire

My opponents released their respective pokémon, a Chatot and a Numel, both peculiar pokémon, but not as strong as mine. I released my two top pokémon, Zorua and Trapinch. Damn it! I forgot to change the order again and that meant I had to waste valuable time in switching Trapinch out for another pokémon, Riolu….

Picnic

I went to the left, passing the trees where there was a small clearing, with smoke. Two people were talking there. One was standing near a small brazier with a blue apron on while his hands moved swiftly across the flames, tending to food I could not see but definitely smell. He paid no attention…
