PUZZLE 002 [ROUTE 30 - VIDEO/ACTION]

[snapandscoot]

[[In order to ensure she catches up to the Professor and co. as soon as possible, Emmy has taken to travelling at night. This has usually failed to present any real issues, but tonight, as she heads to the route just outside Cherrygrove, she finds something that....well.

If you've currently got your pokegear video feed running, you'll probably hear the shriek.]]

Nonononono get away get away!!


[[It's a Spinarak! Which is unfortunate for Emmy, as she happens to be quite arachnophobic. The Pokemon doesn't quite seem to realise that her screaming isn't an invitation to come closer, as it happily starts to approach her to say hello-]]

NO!!

[[....before promptly getting kicked in the face.]]

A-ah....

[[Wild Spinarak fainted! Emmy...didn't...really gain anything, um.

...someone informing her that this...isn't quite the correct way to battle a wild pokemon would be appreciated.]]

A spider? I though you got hurt...

[snapandscoot.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I'm fine! If anything, it's the one that got hurt.

[[yeah we're going to change the subject pretty quickly because this is hella embarrassing]]

Are all the spiders here so....huge?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

I hate to say this, but that's a pretty normal size for them.

[And they get bigger, but he's not about to say that.]

Just like any other Pokemon, you can catch and train one. Some trainers use nothing but bug Pokemon for some reason.

Wait a minute, that's a Pokemon?

[[...ok, now she's...kind of feeling bad, um.]]

Maybe I shouldn't have kicked it so hard...

[[no but it's a giant spider whyyy would you do this, Johto]]

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

Y-you kicked it?!

...Um, is it still alive?

[snapandscoot.livejournal.com]

I didn't know it was a Pokemon!! I thought it was a giant spider!

[[JUST

...POKING IT]]

I...think it's okay....

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

I-I guess there are more unusual ways of defeating Pokemon...have you caught it yet?

[snapandscoot.livejournal.com]

....caught it? Why would I...

...oh right, that's what you do with Pokemon, isn't it? You catch them?

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

Mhm! You have Pokeballs on you, right?
