Ah, cataloging the days sometimes becomes something a chore-so much happens so fast, you know?
We've spent the last few days in town-most of the team scattered about, doing their own thing. Til has been some sort of...investigation...thing. He's obviously mum about it. Le'range and Ursula and I mostly stuck to training.
Let's go down the list.
Ursula's snubbing me, for some reason. I think my Pokemon beat hers up...I'll make it up to her. I'm sure she'll love a Tentacool!
I know their the most common pokemon in existence, but it's the thought that counts.
Next. Trying to save the Mewuse...all I did was make an enemy of that doofus Chotes, so far. He threatened to tell Kat's boss about me so she'd have to uh, kill me. I have to admit, that made me pretty mad. What sort of scumbag threatens someones friends? Mmm. I'm not an overly violent person (yet), but I felt like hurting him. I might still, when I run into him again...
Then, all of us but Til decided to hit the town gym, anyway. Of course, I lost-to an Aqua member named West. In retrospect, it was closer than I gave it credit for at first-had the Swagger move pulled off, everything might have been different...but, life turns on a Dime. I'm pretty burned out by it, but what can you do? At least the rest of the team didn't seem to be down on me, though. Good to report, Range and Ursula both got badges. I'll be back to challenge one day, that's for sure.
I did the fishing challenge-made a pretty PY and caught two Tentacools and a Remoraid. I never knew Remoraid's had such a variety of attacks, it's quite interesting...I named it Blitz. I'm glad of the firepower and mobility it brings in water-now I just need to befriend the little fellow. He might no trust me, maybe because of the big death net and all that.
I try to save the best for last. Went out walking on the beach with Le'Range...looking for pokemon, of course! But if things had gone better I might have...well, of course it didn't work out. It's like the universe is against me, I swear.
We ran into a bunch of Volbeat-which, upon closer inspection, were not those at all. They were Zorua's-dark type pokemon. They were torturing an actual one, probably using their disguises to draw him in. My Dad had a theory that lots of Dark type pokemon engage in this sort of activity because they believe it's the only way they can evolve...
Well, we stopped them, but Le'Range lost her little one, De'Charge. It was a trap Dark types like to use-draw in predators, hurt them bad-and when they try to flee, then Pursuit to finish them off. She took it well, as anyone could. I'm not sure I could take it that well. Le'Range is a strong woman
I'm ashamed to say I didn't see it coming. Til might have...but he can read minds. I'm limited to more mundane methods. I mean, he even faked his nature for me! I knew Zorua's were manipulative, but that's a whole new level.
I caught one of those, as well. It's certainly moody. Maybe I can train it to be less willfully evil...though I doubt it.
Oh yeah, so, a dead pokemon sort of kills any romance...I don't think Le'Range knows how I feel, yet. Bringing it up is always the hard part.
Dad always said, 'Somethings are just meant to happen...' Yeah! While i'd like to believe fate is on my side, but until I know for sure, I'll consider myself on my own.
