In which our tale of woe concludes, and none too soon
Ravaged Path again: Went back to explore what I could and met a Zubat. Naming him Harker. And it turns out Rock Tomb is in here, along with some water I can't Surf on yet... Need to level Harker and Bibi up as much as I can. Team Galactic is ahead. ...a Bidoof got Harker. A Bidoof. With a critical Tackle. Either Monica is really unlucky or I'm bad at this game. Or, I guess, still not used to fainting being anything serious. Lady in Floaroma Meadow thinks Monica 'came here to get emotionally healed'. Well, she needs it. :/ Flower therapy. Route 205: There is a little girl who needs Monica's help ;_; Monica is all battered and staring into space, but okay. She will help this kid. Valley Windworks: And she caught a Buizel who I have named Ginny. Used the Heal Ball here so as not to waste Potions. I think I'm going to not buy special Pokeballs, but if I find them or get them as gifts I can use them. Defeated the Galactic dude who... then locked the door. Dude, why didn't you do that in the first place. Floaroma Meadow: And why can't you just buy Honey? You can afford all your creepy science stuff. I guess they could have spent all their money on that, of course. ;_; The tv is talking about how Monica captured Doof. Yeeeah she's just going to cry a bit now. Am I allowed to use this Honey? Technically if I use it on the Meadow tree, that would be the first pokemon I met there, since there's no tall grass... you know what, I will. Not buying any Honey, but Monica will use what she's been gifted. Valley Windworks, inside: D: Bibi is poisoned and I have no Antidote. If I run back to the Pokemon Centre will she be okay? *checks* ...yes. Okay. Running now. She survived. Monica hyperventilates. And buys more Antidote. ...D: D: D: D: D: COMMANDER MARS KILLED LINUS. He was doing so well and then her Purugly got a critical hit in and DDDDD: The little girl and her dad are reunited. Monica accepts their thanks and manages not to break down sobbing. This whole thing is becoming ludicrously tragic. 'We hope to see you again.' It's been pointed out many times, but that's a terrible thing to say in a hospital. Although there's always the interpretation that what they mean is 'please come back alive'. Route 205: ...dammit, lost that Shellos. I was going to name her Pinkie Pie. Oh. Well. Let it be known that Aroma Lady Elizabeth and her Budew have finally defeated Monica. This is what happens when your team is two pokemon, one of which is a Water-type. Goodbye Bibi, goodbye Ginny. Monica is going to black out now. She'll wake up at home, and all this will have been a terrible nightmare. And we can start again. [1 badge. £660. 29 pokemon seen. 7 hours 21 minutes. Route 205.]
