Floaroma Meadow

I came here to find a peaceful spot to bury Zathras. After the burial I’m disturbed by some raised voices coming from nearby.

Hand over the honey, old man!

Yeah!

What, no! This is mine. If you want your own honey, go buy it from the store!

No can do, old man. We need it now!

Yeah!

- You guys again?

Yeah!

- I’m not in the best of moods right now… but what do you want that honey for?

To attract lots of pokemon!

Yeah!

- Bored now… Sinclair! Razor leaf!

Sinclair pops out of his pokeball and ruins the galaxy goons’ clothes with a flurry of sharp leaves. In panic, the goons make a run of the hills.

Ow ow ow! That’s not fair, you’re not supposed to attack us!

Ow ow! Yeah! Ow!

Those damn Galactics, they’ve moved on to stealing people’s groceries now?

- They’re definitely an odd bunch. Do pokemon like honey that much?

Mostly bug pokemon. If you put a little honey on trees like that one over there you might find something.

- I see…

I put some on that tree earlier today. I’ll give you first dibs on whatever’s there right now if you want.

- Thanks.

I approach the tree to find a burmy supping the honey on the tree bark. Pokeball go!

Burmy: A worm… in a bag… of leaves.

- Welcome to the team, Londo!

Route 205

I continue my travels north, immediately finding a patch of grass to recruit in. A shellos pops up. Pokeball go!

Shellos: Um.. it’s a pink… slug?

Several trainers challenge me to battles as I make my way north but they don’t put up much of a fight.

Eterna Forest

Oh, you there. I was wondering if you could help me?

- What’s up?

I’m worried about Team Galactic, they’ve been stealing people’s pokemon. I was wondering if you didn’t mind travelling together until we reach the city?

- Sure, no problem.

My name’s Cheryl.

- I’m Caldar.

And I’m Dex.

- Nobody asked you!

Hmph!

With Cheryl in tow I check to see what I can recruit. Two budews jump out. Cheryl’s chansey makes short work of one, using egg bombs.

Looking at the crater that once was the budew on the right I turn to Cheryl.

- And you say you need an escort?!

Team Galactic can be a lot tougher than a wild budew!

There’s one budew still standing. Pokeball go!

Budew: It’s a bud. It collects dew. Go figure.

- Welcome to the bench, Delenn!

With Cheryl to keep me company and her chansey’s seemingly endless supply of magical healing soft boiled eggs, I decide to stay a while and do some training.

With Sinclair, Ivanova, and Londo all evolved I decide I’ve trained enough and head to the city.

Thanks for helping me out. Here, take this.

Cheryl hands me a soothe bell.

If you have a pokemon hold that it’ll warm up to you much quicker.

- Thanks.

I’ll see you around!

Cheryl walks away and rounds a corner, leaving my line of sight.

So… she’s going to evolve her chansey the hard way?
