Holy Miltank, today was complete chaos!!! More so for Lilly and I than the rest of our crew, but… gosh, when an adventure ends with somebody in the hospital, it feels like enough excitement for a life time…
Let me start from the beginning. Lilly, Danny, and I went to the swamp outside town to investigate the shadowy creature I’d seen crawl out of the water and into the forest. The swamp seemed normal. Well, whatever normal is for a swamp, but then a tree suddenly fell and separated me from Lilly and Danny, and the forest was swarming with these scary looking guys in these masks and purple military uniforms.
No idea if they were related to team catch or not, but they seemed better equipped.
But to make things worse, a giant (and I mean HUGE!!), silver Pokémon walked out of the forest. It had a face that made me think it was a flying type, but didn’t have any wings. If anything, it looked like how a kid would make their own Pokémon by sticking random parts together they thing is cool. And, it turned out, the thing was very strong.
It came right up to me, and I sent out Polgi to try and move the tree so we could get out of there, but the Pokémon raised one claw and knocked Polgi out in one blow! Lilly and Danny tried to help me get out, but the thing was too strong for any of us to match. And then, when it aimed a blow at Lilly, Danny jumped in the way and got knocked into a tree.
That was probably the scariest part. We were both worried that Danny was dead.
Then, to top off the craziness, another of the purple guys entered the field, and used a device to play some weird, pop song. Had no idea what it was, but it put the giant Pokémon in a trance. It turned right around, let the purple guy get up on its back, and they walked away into the forest, not sparing any of us a glance. Still don’t know if they knew we were even there…
Once the coast was clear, Lilly and I got Danny right to a hospital. I think we were both scared out of our minds and feeling really guilty, but luckily Danny was only wounded. It’s likely that he’ll be in the hospital for a while, but at least it’s only broken bones and some bruises.
Meanwhile, Nym, Theo, and Sherman were on the hunt for this rich lady’s son. Well, Nym and Theo are looking, Sherman’s itching to find a Dreepy. Their search led them to an “autonomous zone?” Lilly tried to explain it but I still don’t really get it. Anyway, they found the guy they were looking for hanging out with these other kids, all apparently trying to protest some issues they had with the government? I think?
But nobody would listen to our crew without winning a Baltoy fight! Sherman stepped up to the plate and actually won! And for his victory, he got a Baltoy for his team and even traded his Corsola for the main guy’s Dreepy. Nym and Theo eventually talked the guy into leaving the zone and going to the Jamboree by reasoning that no one was going to hear his ideas if he stayed locked away in a boarded up district.
With that success behind them, Nym and the others caught up with Lilly and I at the hospital, and well… we were both pretty emotional. But with the doctor’s words that he would be alright, we felt relieved enough to go back to the hotel to get some rest.
I’m so tired I’ll probably sleep like a rock tonight, but I wanted to get this all written out before I crash. I think it did make me feel a little better. Hopefully tomorrow will be better…
