Day 6
I finally stand before Mt. Moon. The traveling nurse nearby has already healed my pokemon, and I feel like I am ready. I enter the cave. I'm not ready.
Zubat swarm me from all sides. I can barely avoid them. I run through the tunnel, trying to find somewhere where the Zubat won't follow. When I'm safe, I look around. I'm lost. The only person nearby is a girl walking through the cave calmly, with her pokemon by her side.
At first I don't recognize the creature. It's bright green, like Caterpie, but walks on two legs and is definitely mammalian.
I go up to the girl and tap her on the shoulder. She turns around. I take a moment to study her features.
She's about my height, but something about her makes me think that she's older.Her hair is tied up in a ponytail and it reaches almost to her waist. She wears a T-shirt and jeans, and boots for hiking through the cave, I presume. If I wasn't worried about being lost, I would probably ask her out on a date.
I finally realize that the pokemon beside her is a sandshrew, but it's green! I seem to recall hearing about shiny pokemon that are different colors than they're supposed to be, but I'm not sure of this is one of them.
"Do you know where we are?" I ask her.
She looks me over for a second. "Mt. Moon," she replied. That wasn't helping.
"Do you know how to get out of Mt. Moon?"
"Yes." She continued walking, completely ignoring me.
"Wait, what are you doing here?" I call out to her. She turns around.
"I'm going to meet my rendezvous," she replies. She and her sandshrew continue along.
I follow them. The girl never looks back, but I'm sure she knows what I'm doing. In fact, the cave only takes about 15 minutes to get through, and I'm relieved when we're finally out.
As I step outside the cave, the girl turns back towards me. "I have some private business to discuss with my rendezvous," she says. "Confidential Resistance material."
The Resistance! I think. Does she know Evon? Suddenly, I realize that I've been looking down at my feet. When I look up, the girl is gone.
I walk down the route that I am now on, hoping I can get to Cerulean City soon. I don't even realize that I'm walking through tall grass, and when a Spearow jumps me, I'm caught off guard.
I grab Piplup's pokeball and send him out. He uses water gun on the Spearow, weakening it, and I throw a pokeball. The Spearow manages to escape. Piplup weakens it a bit more with pound, and I throw another ball. It doesn't even wobble once, and I've caught my third pokemon.
Then I notice the girl talking to someone near Cerulean, and I think it's Evon. With as much bravery as I can muster, I walk up to them. The girl notices me first.
"You're back?" she asks. "Listen, didn't I tell you that this was private?"
Evon stops her. "Tsuki, this is my friend, Green," he tells the girl, Tsuki. She looks me over again. I blush.
"Did you catch any new pokemon?" Evon asks. I nod. He still has this way of making me speechless. "And the second gym?" I nod again. He nods back, in approval. "What about Lenny?"
How does he know Lenny? I wonder. I shake my head.
"You'll need some training. Meet me in Vermillion once you have the third badge." The two of them walk off towards the city.
Once the duo are out of sight, I enter the town. It is the most populous of all the town I've visited, and it looks like there are places to go almost everywhere. My first stop is the pokemon center.
Nurse joy heals up my pokemon, including the new member of the team, Spearow, and then I head out to the gym.
This time, the sign reads: Tsuki, the Unique Dragon Tamer.\
Tsuki? I think. Wasn't that the name of the girl Evon was talking to?
Hesitantly, I enter the gym. The sign said Dragon Tamer, and that worries me. What kind of Dragon are we talking about? I have a feeling that this is going to be difficult.
