Finally, I'm getting back to you on what's been going on. A lot, basically, so I'll give you some highlights and the important stuff.
Firstly,it's not just cambridge that's colliding. It's been spreading. I know there was the time at the Eden project, but I figured that was because that's where I (and therefore the shard) was, but no. The cracks between our universes have been spreading all over the country, and yesterday there was an emergency in france, so I'm guessing it'll be global soon.
Well, I suppose most importantly, we're up to 14%. As you can probably guess, it's become impossible to hide. Luckily, that's no longer an issue. I'll explain.
The three orbs above one of the universe keep quivering on the screen now. It's getting quite worrying. I've got a pretty good theory about them though.
Rattata and Charmander are now level 25. (Yep, he's still a charmander )
Hitmonchan has grown to level 20, and Don actually had a pretty good fight with a wild geodude that came through after a burst. He's really getting the hang of this. I'm so proud. :D
Happiny is blooming at level 10. Still very happy, very strong, and very protective. So cute.
Those are our main mons, the others are all doing well too. We have more monster friends now, too.
So, a couple of weeks ago, Joey arrived in our world. I'm sure you'll remember him, the little kid that won't shut up about his rattata. Now he's met mine. Three words. Flame. Wheel. Booyah.
Yeah he was rubbish. I could have sworn I heard someone mutter 'Pathetic' at the end of the alley and wander off, but I didn't see who. Sounds familiar somehow though.
Rag has a Snover now. last week, it got really cold, and we were in a grassy area, when a wave came on. As I staggered to my feet. I noticed Rag battling a snover that had come through. He caught it, and it's a happy and playful new member of the team. Don met someone at Uni, that said he was 'investigating strange occurrences' in the area. Don helped him out, and was given an egg for his efforts. It hasn't hatched yet.
Oh yeah, now, when any of us goes to a bed, ours, one in a bedstore, any bed at all, we can hear a really faint 'doo doo, doodoodoo' noise, and our pokés feel much better. Cool or what? Oh, and our little shop down the road has changed. Inside it's really flat looking, brightly coloured, and I'm pretty sure it's actually the other universe. Had to happen eventually. Stuff from the pokémon world has become realistic and part of this one, made sense that some of our world would become like that one.
Right, a big, important fight to tell you about. The most significant event so far.
We were at base. Another wave had just happened. Nothing seemed to have happened, so we were rushing outside to see if anything was happening there. I noticed as we ran that my shoulder felt stiff, and the shard area had got bigger. It was now slightly curved, shinier, and harder.
'T, you know we were doing well for keeping this a secret?'
'Yeah?'
'That's not really going to work anymore.'
I looked up. 'Ah.'
A huge flock of Spearow, and an enraged Onix. People were screaming and running around, panicking, and Onix was smashing up the cobbled street.
'Rattata, Butterfree, quickly! Get out here!'
'Charmander, Pichu, showtime!'
'Come on Happiny, there are people to protect!'
'Jonny, see if you can get everyone to safety!'
'On it!'
'Right, Rattata, ready for a flame wheel?'
'Ra!'
I threw him skywards, and he brought down a spearow with a well-aimed hit.
Pichu was launching a thundershock, but looked dizzy and toppled over, having struck two.
'Charmander, Metal claw!'
Charmander ran at Onix, claws shining, and jabbed as hard as he could. Onix let out a roar, and thrashed around, bringing down a lampost.
'Butterfree! Supersonic stringshot and stun spore go!'
'Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!'
Rag turned. 'Nice combination of moves.'
'I though only being able to remember four was silly. I doubt they can keep every move they can learn, but they're not stupid.'
Spearows were plummeting to the ground, and one narrowly missed Glaceon as he rushed out to help. A healthy spearow dived, but Ice beam sent him flying.
I looked to Ragnarok. 'You thinking what I'm thinking?'
'ICY WIND!!!'
Snover and Glaceon sent a double icy wind, covering the entire flock. five dodged, but the rest crashed to the floor, frozen solid. One of the remaining spearow fired a whirlwind in retaliation, and hit glaceon.
'Doesn't that force a retreat? Like that's going to work on a Pokémon without a...oh.'
Glaceon had gone red, and zapped into my bag. I pulled out on of my supposedly empty Pokéballs, to see it's button glowing. I tapped it, making the ball grow to normal size, and pointed it outwards. Glaceon came out, shaking his head free of the dizzying motion of the whirlwind.
'So....THAT'S where you decided to hide when we were camping? And how you got to the Eden project? You must trust me SO much!'
I hugged him, but he shrugged me off and glared at the remaining birds.
'I own Glaceon! Whoop!'
'Victory dance later! Fight now!' Rag was organizing Charmander and Snover's assault on Onix. Jonny was running back to us having made sure everyone got safely further up the street.
'Good Point. Rattata, Hyper fang, Butterfree Confusion, Glaceon Ice beam!'
Three birds fell, and Pichu got the last two with another thundershock, waddling over to the last and actually giving him a defiant kick and blowing a raspberry before running off to Rag.
I just had time to see Onix's tail sweep across Rag, Charmander, and Snover, sending them flying, before and reached me and hurled me into the air, causing me to land on a rooftop nearby. Rattata climbed up to me, and, winded and bruised, I saw Rag stumbling to his feet and backing away, as Snover sent another Razor leaf at Onix. Onix launched Rockslide. Everyone managed to dodge, except Happiny, who merely held out a tiny paw. The rock heading her stopped on contact, and she laughed. Then she used copycat. Onix's own move crashed onto him, and he roared as Jonny threw a Pokéball. Onix was caught, and Happiny went round offering everybody healing egg. It is a strange thing to have your giant butterfly deliver a piece of magical, pocket made egg that cures your bruises to you while you stand on a rooftop overlooking a partly demolished street. Welcome to my life. Then I saw the people from up the road all staring at us, and muttering. I realized Glaceon had joined me. A giant rock snake had just been seemingly vanushed by a boy with an egg monster, having fought a boy with a thundermouse, a dinosaur with a flaming tail, and a tiny walking mountain. Spearow littered the trashed road, and I was standing on a rooftop with a blue dog at my side, a purple mouse on my shoulder, and a giant butterfly hovering just behind me.
'Ah. The number of people that can see Pokémon may have gone up in the last couple of waves.'
'Ya think?'
This took some explaining.

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!

The garden of Eden-project! part 1
Hey, sorry, I will at last catch you up on what happened on holiday.
So, a couple of days before the last post (Sorry, everything from holidays a bit out of order, I only did that one because I needed to say about telling my parents) we went to the Eden project. I highly recommend a trip to everyone, it's one of the most beautiful places ever! and so much fun!
Sorry, not here to advertise holiday destinations, I'll get on with the recap:
Well, Rattata, Caterpie and me were deciding which Biome to go to first (Mum and Dad, still a bit weird around the Pokémon, were wandering around separately, but we were going to meet up a bit later.) Caterpie was on my shoulder, and Rattata was darting around amongst the plants. Nobody really seemed to notice them, apart from one little girl, who pointed at Rattata as he shot out from under a bush and said 'Look! Mummy, that mouse's purple!' but her mum just sighed 'Of course it is dear.' and dragged her away looking tired.
Halfway through the tropical rainforest biome, my shoulder started tingling, and Rattata stopped abruptly, nose to the sky, looking around.
I put down my rucksack and opened it, retrieving my DS. Leaving it open, I stood up, flipping open the console. I pressed it's extra button, and it transformed into the DSDex.
'Uurgh, am I going to have ANY normal days now I've got this stupid shard?'
'Hey, we had several between creepy future visit and you leaving.'
I spun round. Ragnarok was walking towards me, grinning broadly, throwing and catching a pokéball in one hand and fishing one out of his pocket with the other.
'I.....! You?...! What! How?'
'I don't want to ruin the surprise. Kirlia said there was going to be another shard wave burst thing, and we wanted to know if Glaceon was with you, so I came to help. Don and Jonny are back at base.'
'Thanks. Glaceon? Nope, isn't he there?'
'Haven't seen him since you left. Thought he might have snuck along.'
'Hasn't been with me.'
Then three things happened. Caterpie leapt off my shoulder, fixing itself to a branch with string shot, and surrounding itself as it began to glow.
Rag released Charmander and Pichu, who looked around them in awe.
Glaceon staggered out from behind a tree, panting.
'Caterpie! Now?'
'Poooooooooooooood'
'Ha, Glaceon! Are you sure he wasn't with you.'
'I think I'd have noticed in the three days of holiday so far if a blue dog was following me.'
'Hmm, must've hitched a ride with me and...how I came.'
Glaceon was not enjoying the tropical climate. Now, I'm no fan of intense heat, but I can cope with the Biome. Being an ice type, Glaceon wasn't happy. Why did he come?
After some water, he was able to walk better and looked a bit happier. Being near a fork in the path, where it looped round and brought us back, we decided to leave metapod where he'd set up and pick him up on the way back.
A little way round the loop, a crowd of people came into view. We slowed down to let them get ahead, just as my shoulder started to glow. I braced myself as a wave of energy shot from the shard. Charmander sent a smokescreen across the path behind us to dissuade people from following us for a while, and Ragnarok caught my DSDex as it fell from my shaking hand.
'Phew, is it over? What's changed? what's come through?'
'Don't know. This thing says we're up to 4% though.'
'Weeeeeeeeep. pinbell weeep.'
'Ah.'
Three weepinbell were staring at us. They detached themselves from the tree they were on, it looked like they had been bell shaped flowers on it, and sprung to life when more pokémon universe came through.
'Not a problem! Charmander, Emb-'
'NO!'
'Huh?'
'We are surrounded by rainforest?'
'Oh, yeah. Time to try out our special move then. Flame tail!'
'Wow!'
Charmander jumped up, and, spinning suddenly, slammed a weepinbell in the face with his tail's flame. It recoiled, smoking, and shot acid at us. Diving to the side, I saw the others closing in. This wasn't going to be easy.

A warm reception to frosty information!
Hola! I am currently on holiday, and this has been my first chance to post, but an important event has happened that needs telling. Mum and Dad know. A few days after our horrific trip, I'm packing for holiday, and something occurs to me. What on EARTH am I going to do about Rattata and Caterpie? Oh, and glaceon made it clear he was coming too. Not sure why, he didn't go with Ragnarok to scout camp a few days ago, he seems to be trusting Don and Jonny with protection of the Eevee's in his absence, and is very attached to me. I'm honoured, really.
So, I told them everything. Well, not everything, like a mysterious letter from a stranger from another world who sent a shard from a Pokémon deity into my shoulder to help prevent a cataclysm of universal proportions, but the general 'Pokémon are now real, but the transition is causing problems which me and my friends help sort out, oh, and have you met the magical rat, caterpillar and dog that I've befriended' bit. After the standard shock, sitting down suddenly, staring at the pokémon thing, they were very interested, and after I'd taught the squint to see through the illusion (half the time, glaceon was just a normal dog, except to me) they seemed better about it. It's still very weird for them, and I don't think they'll be used to it anytime soon, but they've accepted it. I think I'll head off for now, but I had to write about this. I'll tell you about the Eden project later!
Bye for now!
