Old guy: "Wow! It's a shiny Gym Badge! Shiiiiiinyyyyyy~"
I walked past the old man guarding Route 3, but he followed, staring at the pointy new badge I had. Swinub used Powder Snow on him, dissuading him from further following.
There was a day care! In the back a Cottonee and Minccino were running in circles on a dynamo, using their infinite circular running energy to power the day care center. I decided to go into the playground and beat up preschoolers and aides for money. Because that's what cool guys/girls like me do. Swinub shot snow, Cyndaquil shot fire, and Exeggcute shot noise.
Preschooler: "Take this! Hyper Beam!"
"Yeah, sure, like yo-"
His Pansage let loose a Hyper Beam, thankfully missing my Exeggcute. It blasted me, however, against the fence. After recovering, I let Exeggcute Uproar it. I then rested myself and the Pokemon up in the nearby preschool-like structure.
I then left the preschool.
Cheren: "Anthony, stop! Get me new glasses!"
"But you tried to shove chalk up my nose!"
Cheren: "And you were very uncooperative! I expect an apology for that, too!"
"I still have your glasses, you know."
Cheren: "I don't want them out of there! Get me new ones!"
"Will you harass me further?"
Cheren: "Of course!"
"Then no!"
Anthony vs. Cheren
Cheren still only had 2 Pokemon, compared to my 6. It was a curbstomp.
Cheren: "Of course you won. After all, I CAN'T PROPERLY SEE THE MATCH!"
I pulled his glasses out and offered them to him.
Cheren: "NO!"
"Fine."
I returned them to their new home.
Suddenly, Plasmorons! They ran by, tripping over each other no less than twelve times. Bianca followed behind, stopping at us. She was dragging a preschool girl by her neck, the girl squirming the whole way.
Bianca: "They stole this girl's Pokemon!"
Girl: "No they didn't! You're scaring me, miss!"
Bianca: "Can it! You two need to go get her Pokemon!"
Girl: "But miss, I wanna go home!"
Bianca: "SHUT UP, GIRL. Go, now! Save them!"
Since Bianca wouldn't let me proceed, I followed Cheren. We entered... Wellspring Cave.
A Plasmoron was blasting an awesome theme throughout the cave on her boombox.
Plasmoron 1: "Why are you following us?! We didn't take anything!
I battled the male grunt, whose sole Patrat was obliterated by Murkrow.
Suddenly, more Plasmorons!
Plasmoron 3: "How troublesome."
Plasmoron 4: "There's two of you and two of us."
"Oh, no, I can see where this is going..."
Double battle with icky Cheren as my ally! Even with Cheren weighing me down, we won.
Cheren and the Plasmorons left, but I waded further into the cave for an item. I was harassed every step of the way by angry Pokemon.
-Anthony got TM46 Thief!-
I taught Murkrow Thief to replace Haze.
Bianca: "Thanks so much, Anthony! You got her Pokemon back!"
Girl: "But-"
Bianca: "Give the nice lady a present, girl! Now!"
Girl: "Eep!"
She shoved some Heal Balls into my hand. Bianca then dragged her away by her neck again. I proceeded south along Route 3. Cheren warned me of the evils of darker grass, and I fought a few battles. Mostly uneventful. Swinub learned Mud Slap though.
After some more fighting, I reached the quaint Nacrene City...
