Ah, time to relax. Current location, Ursula's house. This place is a dump, but at least the roofs not leaking. Personal note-everyone loved the Shroom Potions I made (but ursula)! I should have told them they were experimental, but that's part of the experiment...
Anyway! Cheers...I won. I figured I could use a little break-so, here I am, enjoying the night...alone, but I've got time to reminsice. And a treat. Feeling mellow yellow....
Glad I could update, since I've finally got a little time to myself. Enjoying my new Princess Badge-my first. I didn't have much trouble in the battle-Daphine was either going easy, or she just underestimated me, I can't say. But I won fairly easily.
I actually out drank...out drunk Daphine! It was close.
It's a relief, really. Most of my friends got their first badges 5 years or so ago-Cerulean City...Pewter Town. Most of everyone got one or both of those. The really good ones managed to get to Vermilion, and that was always an 'in' with the Cool Trainer crowd. Naturally, it got you girls.
Dad had even bought me a showcase with blue silk, so I could display them right by his over the mantle. He's got alot of badges-even a few from Unova, and that's supposed to be the most competive league to excel in.
Of course, my case remained empty...it's not like I didn't try! I fell into the 'Bug Catcher' crowd back then. We used to run around the grass, scaring up Weedles and Caterpies in Viridian forest-though we'd never admit we all wanted to find a Pikachu.
We weren't cool like the Bird Trainers with their Pidgeys and Spearows, or sexy like the Lasses with their Clefairy and Jigglypuffs-but, we had shorts! They were comfy and easy to wear!
Flutter was only a teeny little Caterpie back then, and everybody laughed if she tried to fight...Spritz was going through her 'rebellious' stage (she still is) and sometimes would just fall asleep in the middle of battle, or run off the field. Misty eventually got annoyed with beating me up.
...all that it's the past, though. I've got own badge. It feels good.
Oh, Daphine kissed me too. That was my first closest-to-real kiss as well. Odd, how things turn out. It came out naturally too-I was pretty smooth, confident. Her lips were cold, though-cold as ice. It wasn't unpleasant...more, comfortably numb. Sort of addictive, it could become. Ha, rhyme.
....I've still got my eye on Lera though. Daphine...she's great-and, I know she'd go further with me if I wanted it, I believe. Ah, here comes the whammy. Le'Range is the unattainable. Way out of my league. Hence, the more desirable....now, I just need the guts to tell her that. I've got to convince her, I only want to be with her. Granted, I've has so many choices lately, it's become hard to do that.
Hot or cold, hot or cold...
*click*I guess I should talk about our new party member-Robyn McBride. She's one of those lanky tomboy-type girls, only a little younger than me. She's a little pale, with bright green eyes and short blonde hair, dyed black-I can tell it's dyed. My Mom's also a blonde. She went through the same thing-experimented with being a Redhead, almost gave Dad a heart attack.
Given she had a conversation with me while doing push-ups, I'm thinking she's an athelete, of some sort. Seems the type.
She's also got a pleasantly dry sense of humor...pretended to be Til's girlfriend, and I fell for it. It was the the *first* time I've ever actually seen Til laugh. He's usually quite stoic. I find myself hoping they get together for real-Til could use a girl, one that's not Le'Range.
Robyn's amazingly straight forward, it seems. Not stand-offish like Ursula, or aloof like Lera. She told me if I wanted to be with Lera...I should go and ask. Sound advice. I'm taking my shot soon.
And, she uses a poison dart gun in battle...whaaaa?
And, she apparently uses a Beedrill, Butterfrees natural rival. I can respect that-I've decided that Southpaw will be much happier with her. I can't train her, not like she deserves-Robyn, I guess I trust her judgement. She'll take good care of Southpaw...
*click*Ahh, interesting report on strange pokeball I hoped-it was a mechnical Sharpedo. From something called Project Vehiclemorph. It's some sort of modular component machine...looking at him (it?). this one is the strongest of any of my current team. And, it can fly.
I named it Zero-Six, after it's class number (01-06; Propulsion System). Which means there are *more* of them out there. Gotta collect em all!
The best part was the machine claims to be at Human sentience. I mean, wow. We never got that to work in the lab-all of our 'smart' machines ending up going on rampages. I wonder how they fixed that problem?
Hmm. This changes things. Would taking this robomon apart be considered murder? Does it have a soul of silicon? Can it feel...love?
Squeeee! I can't wait to find out!
Mmm...I don't think I'll sleep tonight.

Personal Log-bunch of Rockets rode up on Jetskis, asked about Ursula-we all covered for her-and rode off.
They're really stupid, aren't they?
*click*Have to make this quick. We found an island to disembark on. Not far from shore, encountered Flaffy, now in my possession. Wasn't much a battle...
We met a bunch of Wobbuffets, recently-they enlisted our aid in reclaming their cave for them. I figure, why not help? Alot of them seem sick, or malnourished...I can understand Pokemon fighting over premium land, but Wobbuffets don't really have many places to live. Digletts can construct burrows, so in a mathematical sense, I'd help one over the other.
*click*We're entering the cave now. I really hate Zubats. I hope there's none in here.
