Purple, Johto Day 58: The Tale Of Bug Catching!

Hello everybody! So you must be saying to yourself, "Purple! Why did it take you so long to walk from Goldenrod to Mahogany Town?" Well I can assure you it has nothing to do with my rapidly worsening health from eating nothing but Berries and other items plucked off the ground or my inability to navigate the land. What has led me astray for so long then?

Bug Catching Contest! There is one every Tuesday in the National Park that is just outside of Goldenrod and I decided I wanted to enter it! Unfortunately it was Sunday when I got there, so I had to wait (I left my Lifeboy Color on for a few days with my body parked in front of the Guard checking if it was Tuesday yet every few hours).

The contest began with the ides of Tuesday, and I cannot tell you how unprepared I was. I was expecting a Safari Zone-esque setup that would have me capturing Pokemon without the use of my own, but the weird thing was: I could use my own Pokemon! Disorienting!

I had 20 minutes to capture the best bug I could! What constitutes being the best bug, I do not know (Just kidding guys! I totally know! It is based on the Level of the Bug relative to the maximum level available, IV's, Health left after capture, and Rarity (I knew all of this off the top of my head (I did not look it up here. ))).

I looked high! I looked low! I looked all around! Let's just say looking low actually worked best, because as it turns out, most bugs are very small and as a result stay close to the ground. I captured a Caterpie, only to remember that Caterpie was the first Pokemon I ever saw, and with that memory I reflected upon how much I've grown as a person since that day. And then I stomped the life out of the little bug, just like the good old days! I captures a Paras after that and was pretty pleased with myself, or should I say, was pleased until I saw a Scyther! I wanted it! I sent out Paras to do battle with it so I could capture it while it was distracted, but apparently Scythers don't fall for tricks like that because it stabbed my Paras to death and then cut my arm to warn me to back off(I feel like I'm in a movie!). The contest would end in 20 seconds, and I was left without a Bug! What could I do!

DING DONG. YOU'RE BUG CATCHING SAFARI ZONE IS OVER.

I have a plan, act cool.

...

So apparently the Judges knew that I didn't catch Stache in the contest (something about Heracrosses not being available in the park?), and instead awarded the first place to Youngster Samuell who caught a really good Caterpie. Crippling defeat!

And that's how I spent my Tuesday. What? Where was I for the rest of the Wednesday and today? Well, I was battling a stupid Psychic who kept putting my Pokemon to sleep (and possibly myself).

Yup.


Catch You Later!
