I adventure into the cave.
Plazmoron Phil: Come on Lennette, these Drillbur won't catch themselves!
Plazmoron Lennette: Okay, okay. Honeyrat, return. -Recalls her Patrat- NOW LET'S CATCH SOME DRILLBUR.
Me: Ahem. I don't think I can allow you to do that.
Plazmoron Phil: Oh great, the tree's back.
Plazmoron Lennette: -Giggles-
Me: -Seriousface- I know who you are. Catching pokemon enmass and not bothering for their safety.
Plazmoron Phil: Tell me then, who are we?
Me: In a word, smugglers.
Smuggler Phil: Well then -Draws pokeball- I guess I can't allow you to leave. Lennette, let's double up on this chump!
Smuggler Lennette: EXCELLENT, HONEYRAT SHALL TASTE BLOOD THIS DAY. -Sends out a Patrat- Try and do your best Honeyrat!
-After a quick double-battle, with Carl fighting alongside Oakley-
Oakley: <You're pretty good for a young one.>
Carl: <Thank you, you're not as slow as I expected from a ten year old.>
Oakley: <Aparently I'm much younger than I thought I was.>
Smuggler Phil: -Recalls his Patrat- Well this sucks. I'm outta here. Come on Lennette.
Me: -Stopping Phil for a moment- Know this. I am the one they call Fiveside.
Smuggler Lennette: AND I AM THE ONE THEY CALL LENNETTE... Not that it matters much... -Leaves with Phil-
Me: -Stands for a few seconds after they leave, then quickly grabs the TM that I had noticed when I walked in-
~+~ Pent obtained TM 46! ~+~
(TM 46 is Thief, it's rather useful in some cases where you want to obtain the held item of a wild pokemon without having to catch it. If you find Crustles, you can farm Rare Bones which can be sold for a good price to the right buyer.)
I walk to Nacrene City.
(Next time: The Duke of Nacrene!)
