I'll Keep the Area Clear

[Goooood morning Johto! Have a Jake.]

You know, Cianwood is a pretty neat island all on its own, but....

[He frowns a bit as he looks around.]

It's not...what I expected. Then again, I come from a more tropical island, so perhaps this is normal? I'm used to a more rainforest kind of setting, and this...certainly isn't it.

[Jake shrugs.]

I mean, I'm not complaining about it or anything like that! Maybe it's for the best, though. I might have gotten homesick.

[How you get homesick for Murder Island is a mystery for the ages.]

I'm about to go up against the Gym Leader, too! [He takes out a Pokeball and opens it to release Robin Williams the Emolga from it.] I think Robin--

[All of a sudden, he hears a noise. Jake looks utterly confused because he's pretty sure that nobody in his party has a Pichu, and then, abruptly, the Pichu is chasing Robin all over him. He flails, loses his balance, and falls. The Gear falls with him to show that he's hit his head against a rock and he's out like a light.

1-hit KO! CASANOVA gets a boosted 250 exp!]

{OOC: Responses won't come for an hour or two Route time.}

[Well, Jake is currently on the road to Viridian City Violet City. He's currently resting somewhere off the road, and he looks a mite hassled.]

I've got two questions I'd like to pose at the moment. My first question is how do you feed a possessed candle when the Pokedex says that it feeds off of the life force of humans and Pokemon? Really, I'm all for survival and taking good care of your Pokemon and all that, but I'm not about to kill myself for it.

My sec--YEOWCH!

[That's about when he flails a little, sighs in exasperation, and holds up his hand. Dangling from it is a Totodile, who looks quite content to be chomping down on Jake's hand.]

How in frig's flipping sake do you get Totodiles to not bite you every time they leave the Pokeball?!

[He should've gone for the cat. But no, he wanted the cool blue alligator baby.]
