Allow me to remind everyone that the challenge is still open.

Here we are. Hmm, this is bigger than I expected.
Well, if I become the champion, I'll definitely have enough money to move somewhere else, but... Hey, that's Lelvier's voice.
"For God's sake, shut up! Yes, that's my real surname! Yeah, Ledouché! I don't see what's so funny about it, just let me in! STOP LAUGHING!"...Looks like he'll be there for a while. Anyway, since I have enough time and all...
I should probably check out a few places I think I haven't been to yet. I ignored them before because they weren't really a source of profit, but now... Now I just want to get away from everyone.
Let's see... this river, for example. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to follow it blindly like this, but at least, I'll be alone. Ahhh, yeah...
...Well, crap.
Why do you people bother to come to these places?!
Urgh, you're all a waste of my time. I have eight badges, you lowly fetishists shouldn't even be allowed to
look at me.
Hmm, I bet they don't have cameras in here.
I used to wonder who left items in places like this. Then I learned MY LIFE AS A TRAINER IS A LIE.
Nrrrgh... At least I get free crap.
Do TMs buzz, Pithius?
...Oh.
Voltorbs aside... It's nice to have some privacy.
Being lost is not so nice, though. Eh, I still have some Escape Ropes.
Geh, I should be catching Pokémon, but any attacks I try on these just knock them out in one hit.
Well, it doesn't look like there's anything else here, so...
...Another bird?
Heheheheh
ohgodthereshouldn'tbebirdsthisbig(I've never liked Zapdos, but this sprite is really cool.)Well, Ben, you know what to do.
(I somehow caught it with only three Ultra Balls. I wasn't looking forward to catching the birds because I usually have terrible luck with legendary Pokémon in general.)I dunno, the weather looked just fine outside.
Because I'm hungry.
(And because Dagger said so.)Hmm, so these things are "legendary"... Anyway, I think there was another place near Cinnabar... I trained there for a while, but I didn't really explore it.
Yeah, this place.
Eh, whatever.
Okay, those stairs are where I came from, so I should probably jump down that hole.
...Hey, I've done it before and I'm still alive.
NINJA YOU GIOVANNIIII
OH GOD THE SIGN WASN'T LYING ABOUT THE CURRENT
I have no idea how that's supposed to work, but it's worth a try.
Okay, there's a bunch of boulders here. I'll just mess around with them and...
...Okay, I'm done. Hopefully that accomplished
something. What's over here?
...ARRRGH. Screw this, there's another place I want to check out.
And it's right down here.
(For the uninformed: I had no idea the Seafoam Islands have two different entrances.)Hurry up, Pithius, I don't feel safe out here.
ARGH WHAT IS IT
Eeeek.
God, you can't even go to supposedly abandoned places without seeing trainers everywhere.
"SEAFOAM IS-" Ohh, so that's why they're island
s.
I know, Sol, I'm tired of this too. At least nobody is watching us here.
Okay, we managed to drop the boulder down there. Common sense dictates I should follow.
It's as if just knowing I'm alone makes me feel more calm, more relaxed, less likely to shout at whoever is nearby...
I don't even mind doing this agai- Okay, I DO mind, but yesterday, I would have been having a seizure by now.
And now, to fracture my remaining ankle.
SHIIIIIII--
Oh, it worked.
Whoa, is that-
(Lightnix offers us this depiction of Articuno, which is, uh... more accurate than the others.)<Articuno> SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
OH GOD WHAT THE HELL
I'M SORRY JUST LET ME LEAVE PLEASE
Ohgodthankyoubenthankyouthankyouthankyou. This should be easy now.
eeeeeeeeepKeep it that way, Ben. KEEP IT THAT WAY.
I love you, Ben.
In a non-Bill-like way. (Holy crap, I only needed one Ultra Ball. I think the legendary birds like me.)Oh God, the ball is still shaking. D8
If I put it in my PC, it won't hurt Chibity, will it?
(Thanks, Xad!)Well, I guess there's nothing else I can do to delay this... But it was nice to spend a day away from everything and everyone.
Hey, what--
Coming up next, on The Winston Show: our hero goes down in history and catches the mythical birds of legend!
