Ah what a wonderful morning, with people cheering at the top of their lungs, an announcer calling out the names of the competitors and competitors lined up on their bicycles! Yep its the one and only Race Competition, the First Price is 3 Months worth of pokemon Food plus 10k Pokedollars, 2nd place 7.5k PokeDollars and 3rd PLace 5k Pokedollars. Ofcourse me, Inori and Red are participating, Red borrowed a old bicycle from the Pokemon Fan Club wonder if he noticed its a single gear. Well I got my mountain bicycle with Espeon sitting in front of me, Inori is on her Blue mountain bike similar to mine with her Mudkip in front of her. I have already told the both of them that the competition allows using pokemons to overcome obstacles, so I decided to keep Espeon with me as we will be leveling up through the forest.

Announcer: "Attention all trainers! get ready as the race is about to begin. We thank Vermillion Bicycles for sponsoring the race and to all those participating!"

He stand in front of a large post holding the map showing the course which is Route 11.

Announcer: "It's a very simple Race Course! A 10km race on a level , well paved road! Nothing to it Folks! But Then on the way.... kukuku That'll just have to remain a secret for now fufufufu"

Announcer: "Everybody Ready!? On your marks, get set................ GO!"

Every competitor including me and Inori sped off ahead leaving Red in the dust pedalling for his life to catch up to us.

Red: "I really want that First Prize especially after paying Pokedollars to enter it. Man what is with this bike it doesn't go any faster! Maybe I should not have borrowed the bike from the Fan Club"

Upon coming closer Red noticed the place is crowded with a single hanging bridge that can only hold 1 person at a time, then he recalled what I told him and called out his poliwrath.

You might be wondering why but apparently while I was battling goons Red also had several goons running out and he face Lt Surge as well which explains how that bastard managed to escaped, well you know the rest fierce battle, evolution and Team Rocket blasting off again so not much to say there.

So back to the race, Red got his Poliwrath to use icebeam to create a temporary bridge and he managed to bypass many competitors rushing to catch up with the few ahead of him. I was waiting at the FOrest Entrance alongside Inori waiting for Red to catch up, well no point really as something that belongs to red lies ahead at the end of the race so I'm letting him win this one.

Jay: "About time, Lets head through the forest!"

The three of us drove through the forest while Espeon and Mudkip kept blasting attacks left and right, yep this type of 'unfair' exp farming is simply awesome! bwahahahaha Easy leveling. Guess the OPness melted my common sense to a dangerous degree. I simply decided to simply go with the water flow from now on! We finally managed to get out of the forest, thanks to Yue's Help I managed to catch several pokemons I did not have yet and she transferred it automatically to the clinic for me. The sooner I complete the Kanto Pokedex the sooner we can start our Daycare in it's earnest. Just a little secret for you all but from the professors in my mini-world they discovered the pokemons are breeding easier so there is alot of eggs to go around!

We finally turn left entering Route 12, man its quite something you know. Attacking wild Pokemons and catching them on the run like going to KFC for takeaways. We were also stopped abruptly with a massive snorlax sleeping on the crossroad.

Jay: "Red, catch the pokemon with this ball and raise it to be a strong member of your team"

I hand Red a Ultra ball, knowing the pokemon is sleeping so the catch was easy and we continued along the way, Red came first, Inori was second and I am third. Atleast in this lifetime there won't be a hunger-crazed snorlax rushing after us for honey or something hahahaha. After getting our prizes we decided to head towards Lavender town, thinking for a while I noticed it will be dangerous in the pokemon tower so I asked Inori to head to Route and catch every kind of pokemon on the list I provided for her. Yes I'm overprotective, I know life is about toughing out the journey but I wont! At least for this journey she will be guarded and safe.

The moment we came in the vicinity of Lavender town we were assaulted by raining clouds above the town, running towards the locals in hope to find a shelter.

Red: "Excuse me...."

The man simply gave Red a disdain look and continue walking

Red: "I'm sure someone else might help me, Excuse me..."

This time the woman did the same as the man and left

Red: "These people are simply too rude"

Old Man: "They are simply slaves to superstition!"

Red: "EY!!"

Jay: "BWahahaha... Yep Red seems to be a slave as well"

Red: 'He is really sneaky, coming behind me like that' "So what is it that you're doing Mister?"

Old man: "Just visiting an old friend, He was a good pokemon and had a long life, but his time came eventually"

Both me and Red lowered ourselves in front the grave placed our hands together.

Old man: "Thank you, are you two also a Pokemon Lover? Come with me and have something hot to drink at my house"

So we both followed the old man to his house, it was a nice house almost like my Capsule home but a bit more fatter.

Old Man: "For as long as I can remember this town has been a center for the souls of Pokemon, in order to show respect for the pokemon souls. The townsfolk built the Pokemon Tower"

Jay: "So its a cemetary huh?"

Old Man: "That's Right"

Red: "So if there is a cemetary, why is your duduo's grave not there?"

Old man: "We dont go there anymore because when we do they appear"

Jay: "Ghosts"

Old man: "Yes"

Red: "BWahahahaa there is no such thing as Ghosts"

Red and his pokemon laughed at the old man but I was different, that tower... Will have to go to it

Old: "You saw the fear in those people outside, they're so afraid of the ghosts now that they dont remember how to trust each other. They won't even look at strangers anymore, you may say you don't believe in them...."

The old man looks at a photo frame of his Duduo

Red: "Is that your..."

Old Man: "Yes it was. If only I could bury him in the cemetary instead of the alley"

Jay: "You love it very much right? huh Green?"

Old Man: "Huh you know that young man?"

Red: "Yes we are both rivals and pokedex users to collect pokemons!"

Old man: "He passed through right before my Duduo passed away and just like you he laughed at my story. Two weeks ago that boy ran into the pokemon tower to prove to me wrong but he hasn't come back yet"

The old man turn around walking to take a seat

Old Man: "Nowadays no one comes back after entering that tower"

Jay: "Thanks for the info old man, Lets go to the tower Red. We both know who Green is and he is strong, for him to go down means something happened"

We both said good bye to the old man and ran off towards the Pokemon Tower, the place was gloomy with black fog lurking in the surroundings. We pushed the doors open and it was dark, silent and creepy. I have to admit even I am not that much of a fan to experience horror movie set ups like this. We slowly began walking forward carefully, a single drop of water landed on Red's Neck

Red: "WAAAAH! oh its only water"

Jay: "For gods sake Red, dont give me a heart attack"

Damn that was kinda scary for a moment almost believed we are under attack or something. The room was bigger inside than it looked outside but the worst of all the black fog was growing thicker and higher as we continue forward, ahead of us we saw a psyduck walking towards us. Slowly more and more pokemons began appearing like zombies walking towards us.

Jay: 'WTF! Its looks more scary than Resident evil's Zombie!! Gotta end this fast... According to my knowledge a Ghastly should be around but where?' "Come out Lillith, Enyo!"

Red: "Come out bulbasaur use razor leaf"

Bulbasaur shot out razor leaves that simply pierced and got stuck on the zombie bodies, I laughed at this but was quite shocked at his reaction speed if trained for a decent amount of time he could become a martial artist.

Jay: "Lillith use psywave to blow away the ghost energy"

Espeon nodded at my command and began launching wave after wave psychic energy, I knew it wont be able to 'blow' away the fog but the attack will hit the ghastly which automatically interrupts it. And I was right after the third shot the fog began clearing up and bodies dropping left and right revealing several ghastlies and a Haunter leading them.

[Pokemon Detected

Ghastly lvl 8-10

Ghost type

Haunter lvl 25

Ghost Type]

Jay: 'That Haunter must be the trainer's pokemon, a newly evolved too' "Enyo use confuse ray followed by shadow ball! Lillith follow up with Shadow Ball"

Considering their low levels the first attack caused them to fall in a confused status ailment which was funny to see ghastlies attacking their Haunter boss, but before they could snap out of it after getting attacked by themselves they were gifted with several shadow balls blasting them out of the cemetary through the main entrance.

Red: "Green are you alright?"

Green: "Oh... Its you!"

Red: "Back to your Grumpy old self, thats a good sign"

Jay: "Listen you two, I want you both to go outside there are several Team Rocket Goons. I will go up and exact your revenge but for now just do what I say alright?"

Green: "You dont order me around.... Alright"

I let a sliver of killing intent focus on Green, although I like the boy but at situations like these he is simply a bag of trouble to handle. So both Red and Green went out of the cemetary and I started going up battling ghastly pokemons left and right, on the stairs for the last floor I saw a thicker and deeper colour fog.

Jay: "From the smell its poison... You sure have a nasty personality as a Ninja dont you Koga"

Koga: "Oh, so you realized who I.... IT'S YOU! The one from Mt Moon"

He looks at me slightly shivering knowing that I am not like the other trainers, I kill if needed and that meant it will be a real life and death battle for him if he does not escape. But he is luckily not really there as it was a Ditto that took his place while he is flying outside carried by a Golbat watching the battle through a video feed.

Koga: "Hmph! Go Arbok use poison sting"

I started dodging the stings in earnest knowing that each sting has a special mixture of poison enough to kill even strong martial artist, thats why I said this guy got a nasty hobby and personality.

Jay: 'I know his outside but he is also infront could it be a Ditto? Well lets find out' "Go Hestia use Fire Blast!"

Flareon stood firmly opening her mouth as she released a fireball in the shape of a 5 pointed star towards Arbok blasting it out of the tower, well I managed to catch the sight of ditto reverting back to its original form due to arbok crashing into it on the way.

Jay: "Alright Hestia return. Enyo and Lillith I want you to talk with the Ghost pokemons and make them agree to allow people to bury their pokemons here and not to trouble them, in exchange for living in this tower they will protect this tower"

My two pokemons nodded their heads and I started healing all the defeated wild pokemons with potions, I refuse to use full restore since i realized how long it takes to make one with alchemy. When I got outside I saw a small group of Team Rocket goons getting arrested by our Police Goddess Jenny, after explaining to her what happened green left to continue his journey while me and Red went to the old man's house but it was a surprise to find Inori was also there talking to the old man. We explained to the old man what happened and that he can move his pokemon grave to the cemetary he profusely thanked us over and over again.

Considering the fact we still have 5 hours left before sunset we said our farewells to the townfolks who thanked us and we left for Saffron City through Route 8, along the way we captured pokemons for ourselves and battled as well. Red was quite shocked at my eevee collection and felt slight jealous. I simply laughed and told him he will get his eevee real soon so he should be patient. Thanks to the battles throughout the day my pokemons finally hit lvl 55, its close to the current legendary pokemon levels if I am correct.

Yep we stayed over at the Pokemon Center when we arrived at Saffron City, Nurse Joy was very happy since I will be making some poffins for her and her pokemon. Ofcourse we had seperate rooms, me and Inori together and Red is alone. Well good Night and see you all tomorrow (NEXT WEEK!)
