Chapter 2 continued...part 3: "Puwple"
After some mental debating, I decide to name the Qwilfish Qwillin...uh,
KRIQWILLIN. Kuh-willin. Kay, are, eye, ell, ell, eye, in, that spells Qwillin...shoot, I hope I'm not developing a lisp or something. I like rolling my rrrr's, not my wwwwww's.
--------------
With Kuhwillin in tow, I make a mad dash ahead to see if I can get to the next city. I want to train Gwil...Gillin...
Qwillin a bit, and I only have so many potions to use at the moment. I'd rather get my pokemon some proper medical care at the next town.
As I enter the pokegatehouse, someone calls out to me.
Oh, Lyra. I surprised you? But you were behind me, you must have seen me coming--wait, what if I'm a ninja? That would explain everything, aw man, that'd be weally cool to be a ninja!
Oh, and Lyra the peasant girl gave me some thing called a vs. seeker. Ha, I'm a ninja, I don't need some technology to challenge people to duels, I can just smack them in the face with my katana, right? That's the traditional method of ninja challenging, I'm sure.
Lyra tells me the vs seeker can be used to record pokemon battles. Wecord pokemon battles? you mean it's not used to find past trainers who want to battle? guess I was wrong, this seeker is useless.
Lyra just keeps wambling on, saying that she "has to go now" and "she won't let me pass her again!" Is that a challenge? Challenge accepted. NINJA CHARGE-JUTSU GO! CHAAAAAAARGE!
-------------
Oh wow, this place seriously is Violet City. The roads are purple, the houses are purple, I'm fairly certain these streetlamps are purple, too. I bet this place really sparkles in
twilight...ew, I feel girly just saying that. I may have gotten cancer, I need medical attention. I need a nurse! MEDIC!
-------------
Once our pokemon are healed up I trek back onto route 30, away from all the purple and the girly-cootie-beam-waves that radiates from the purpley-purpleness. I don't want my brain fried with cootie-cancer.
This looks like a good place to--augh, Qwillin, stop that!
Have you been talking with Jesus? Foot-nipping is not something friends do with friends! Go fight some wild beast, will ya?
I toss the spiky-fish-thing off into some grass, nailing one of those Swinub thingies with a direct pufferfish to the face! The Swinub doesn't take kindly to that, and it charges itself in electric volts and tackles Qwillin! Hmmm, Qwillin doesn't seem able to take another hit like that.
I call Qwillin back from battle and send out trusty Heavy Metal Jesus to chomp some face. It ends like you'd expect.
Qwillin didn't gain much experiece from that, I guess. More training! Let's go--
Oh my sweet baby arceus watdafaq is dat ugly bat thing? It's seven in the morning, aren't bats supposed to be asleep right now or somethin'?
I let Qwillin get a glimpse of this brute, but the batbeast greatly outweighs Qwillin, and I doubt he'd be very effective at the moment. I call Qwillin back and send out the facechomper himself to do his work once more.
The-*checks pokedex*-the Gliscor coats itself in acid, which forms a thick shell around itself and greatly boosting its defense!
I'd say that the thing is a poison type, judging by the acid...and the purple too. But mostly the acid.
As if to prove my point the Gliscor spits a glob of sludge at Jesus!
Ha, Jesus' metal flesh cannot be harmed by your fell fouling slime, Gliscor! Jesus weeps false tears for your inevitable defeat!
As Gliscor looks a bit unnerved at the "crying," Jesus nukes it with a mirror blast! Ha!
Qwillin gained two powerlevels from that fight! His power grows! Well, I hope it grows, at least. He still doesn't seem very intimidating.
Oh wait, huh, Qwillin's a girl.
That explains the lack of intimidation, I guess.---------------
Qwillin beat up a Swinub all on her own today. He didn't gain a powerlevel, but she came close.
On the way back towards the pokecenter to heal everyone up, we came upon this bulbous "Gloom" thing. What is that dripping from its mouth? Drool? Slime?...Maple Syrup?
I'm not sure Qwillin could take this thing on his own. I call her back and send Heavy Metal Jesus. Jesus seems to be the hardiest of the three due to his metal skin, and probably is the best choice for fighting the unknown monsters we know nothing at all about.
As if to mock my tactics, the Gloom does nothing more than ring a soothing-sounding bell. That's it. No explosions, no lighting called down from the sky, just a bell. How lame.
Jesus facechomps it, and it goes down! I guess I was wrong, Qwillin probably could've beat this "Gloom" thing black and blue three ways from Sunday until cows come home.
...That's an odd choice of words, I think I'll go have the nurse check my brain for stupid, maybe the Gloom's is contagious.
Oh, and Qwillin grew a powerlevel. I think she's at five, now. The spiky lil' fella still has some work to do before she's all caught up.
---------------
...Have you ever seen a pufferfish drag itself along dry ground using nothing but its spiky belly, all in an effort to keep up with you? I looked behind me today as I walked Qwillin out to training. Never look back. Never again.
---------------
During a fight with a Gliscor Qwillin got poisoned. It doesn't seem too bad, and she struck the Gliscor down without further harm aside from the first poisonous sludgeball. He can shrug it off, she's a big boy. Besides, poison builds character.
---------------
With Qwillin at a powerlevel of 7, and the team all healed up, I've decided it's high time to challenge the local gym. Let's see what the sign has to say about this city's gym leader...
Hmmm, the guy sounds a bit weak. Elegant flying pokemon? Pfffffffft.
Walking into the gym, I'm caught off-guard by this weird guy with glasses who jumps into my face. Calling me "champ-in-the-making", weirdo-glasses-guy tells me that battling Falkner might be a bit tough if I haven't tested myself against Violet City's Sprout Tower. I'm doubtful, but it looks like they set up a roadblock inside the gym. Unless I go beat Sprout Tower, I can't cross.
Bah, this quest is full of a bunch of railroaders. Guess I'm heading off to Sprout Tower now.
"Heavy Metal" Jesus the vain Hasty Charmander: 17 wild pokemon (1 overkill), 2 trainer pokemon, 19 kills total
Angel the tenacious Quirky Buneary: 7 wild pokemon, 6 trainer pokemon, 13 kills total
Qwillin the Impish Qwilfish: 3 wild pokemon, 0 trainer pokemon, 3 kills total
i'm a sucker for plays-on-words. Qwillin wins, although I must say that digimon Pukumon is surprisingly fitting for this situation.
As for the disciples of the Heavy Metal, you need not fear, Heavy Metal Jesus shall find his own disciples, he needs no pansy-fancy-pants names.
