Smarter than the average Rat!

This morning I found Rattata playing my Leafgreen. He'd chosen Charmander as his starter, and caught five Rattata. He just beat Misty! That is one highly intelligent mouse!

A new beginning!

Sorry, no cheesy title today, too nervous. It's my first day at Uni. Rattata and Butterfree are with me, and so, weirdly, is Glaceon. I'm honoured he's taken to me so well, and I'm glad I could help protect eevee, but now he follows me everywhere. The concept of 'A blue dog might attract attention in acrowded place' seems to be lost on him. Ah well, here goes nothing!

The garden of Eden-project! Part 2

Hello! Sorry, I will AT LAST catch you up on the other part of the adventure at the Eden project.

So there we were, surrounded by weepinbell, unable to use proper fire attacks, glaceon weakened by the heat, and the chance that people might discover us at any time. It didn't look good.

Dodging a spray of acid, I looked around, thinking fast. I saw Rattata snarling up at them. He couldn't get close enough to attack without being in danger of acid wounds.
The weepinbell that charmander had hit was smoking, reeling backwards from the blow.
Glaceon howled softly, and looked to me, as if waiting.
'You're ok to fight?'
'cee!'
'and you want me to...'
'cee!'
'Alright then. Glaceon! Ice Beam!'
A blue beam, thinner than the one he used on the thugs, shot towards a weepinbell, forming a thickish layer of ice over it's mouth. It began to sink, flapping it's leaves trying to stay in the air. But it's mouth was now blocked.
'Rattata! Quick attack!'
He shot forwards, but the other bells were taking aim. Glancing at them, Rattata dodged off the path into the bark and chipping-strewn undergrowth. I saw him jab his nose downwards, but couldn't see why, until he burst back out, a large bit of impaled on his fangs, completely obscuring his face. He charged forwards, but missed. It was blocking his eyesight.
'to your left! Now forwards! Right, left, go!'
The bark was rapidly disintegrating, bit he got the hit in.
'charm, pichu!'
'pichu, pichu, piiiiiichu! Pichu, pichu, piiiiiiiiiiiichu!'
Everyone turned to look at pichu, as he began to march up and down, trip over his tail, and hold his paws together in front of him as his cheeks glowed, while smiling up at everyone. Then he grabbed a leaf and a piece of bark, sat down, and tried to balance the leaf on the vertical bark. When that fell down a few times, he put the leaf on the ground and hammered it with the bark, which broke. He began to cry, loudly, and animatedly.
Taking the chance, our pokémon made their moves.
After that the battle didn't last long. One weepinbell got too close to pichu, and was rewarded a hefty jab in the eye, which sent it reeling towards glaceon, who, too hot, fell on it. Charmander flame tailed another, and Rattata leapt inside the final bell, and, safe from harming the other plants, used flame wheel. Yup. In it's mouth. Ouch.

After that, we shifted them off the path into the foliage, and ran off before anyone found us near all the noise and commotion.
Getting back towards metapod, Ragnarok tapped me on the shoulder. 'Looks like one more poké came through.' A pidgeotto flew above us, looking around, as if scared. It saw metapod and sped towards it. Metapod began to flash rapidly, becoming more shiny and solid looking after each.
'Pod. Pod. Pod pod pod podpodpodpodpodpodpodpodpodpodpodpod. Poooooooooood!
Crunch!
'Huh. I guess it DID learn harden.'
Pidgeotto crashed to the floor, and Metapod glowed again, this time completely white, and grow wings.
'freeeeeeee!'
'well..............well done butterfree'
'butter, butterfree!'
So, that was about it. Rag asked me if I'd worked out how he got there, and my guess that Kirlia did it was right. He went home, I met up with my parents, introduced them to butterfree, and the rest of the holiday happened without incident.
Since then, back home, the four of us have had a couple of incidents with shard waves, but nothing special. A few level ups, I'll post some stats at some point.

There, done at last, back in the present.

Just a quick note, I'm starting Uni, so I'll have less time to chat with you lovely people. Don too. Details to follow. Bye for now!
