Day 10: No Direction

Pokemon Storm Silver Nuzlocke Challenge!

After sleeping on the idea of sending Hancock home, I have come to absolutely no decision whatsoever. I don't think that I will be able to post a team update with Hancock so on the ropes. However, I decided that it may be time to start training up a backup Pokemon and go for a couple more encounters.

My encounter for Route 33 is a little Aipom. This brings back memories from when my dad told me about his travels through Johto. He had an Ambipom named Layla who he ended up trading to my Mom when they first met. So, this little guy may bring me the same success that he had.

Excellent! Leon is our newest partner!

And what a great ability! Although he may be a little scatterbrained, he seems really nice.

Maybe I spoke too soon! He may be Bashful but he is not afraid to be frisky.

As we were training, I decided to bring Darius along. Back in Union Cave, he started making quicker and quicker work of the Sandshrew and Geodude. When all of a sudden...

A Marshtomp! After training for only a day, we have another contender Water type...hmmm....

I got a call from Falkner during training. He apologized over and over, asking if there was anything he could do. I swallowed my pride and told him I was OK. I just told him to send my Mom some flowers to put on Blake's grave back in New Bark Town.  He said it was the least he could do.

Later that day I got a call from Mom that both Talula and Blake's funeral expenses were paid in full by an anonymous source...Thank you Falkner.

Still unsure of what to do with the team, I decided to take some of these Apricorns that I had been collecting over to Kurt, hoping that I could get some cool new Pokeballs out of the deal. However, he told me about Team Rocket and I immediately knew that I had to do something, especially when he told me this disturbing fact...

Holy crap! A guy on the other side of Union Cave said he was selling SlowpokeTails, but I thought they were a gimmick item. That's morbid.

He charged off without another word after I told him I had seen that goon standing by the top of the well. His granddaughter asked me to follow him since he was getting old, so I set out.

When we arrived, no people could be found, but I did hear a strange sound coming from the bottom of the well...

Since night had fallen, I camped out under the stars with my Pokemon to make sure nothing happened.

Tomorrow, we will venture down.
