I go to the Herbal Shop to buy some more delicious food for my pokemon. It's more expensive but with my newly founded wealth it's nothing. After that I suddenly think of something and save my game. Then I buy a very expensive food that can increase my pokemon stat. I exit the shop and stop at a park, the I take out Espeon and give the food to it, it doesn't look like it delicious base on its face when eating it. I observe the GBA to see the pokemon stat but it makes me disappointed.
I want to see if I can use both the training method of the real world and the GBA device. If my pokemon can increase it stat by eating these foods, I can have stronger pokemon then it levels but the result is the pokemon Exp increase. That mean in the real world the pokemon get stronger by levelling up. It just that they can't absorb exp from enemies but they need to eat special food to gain exp. So this method is useless to me since I only need to beat up some wild pokemon to get equivalent worth of exp. I guess I need to get some system based vitamin like iron, zinc, protein and calcium for that. There is no shortcut. I load my game since I don't want to waste my hard earn? Money.
I exit the shop and still stop at a park. I took out all my pokemon and give them the new pokemon food that I just buy. They like it so much but I don't give them too much because we will have dinner soon. The restaurant also sold special pokemon food there. They don't really like the stat increasing food but they like the special food, I guess it's like the comparison between the healthy food and the junk food. Healthy food is good for health but usually not very tasty but the junk food is very tasty but does not give much for health. But this special pokemon food did not have any negative effect so I decide to set it as my pokemon official food. I return back to the shop to buy more pokemon food since Cerulean City Herbal Shop is the biggest pokemon food shop in kanto and the price is a little lower than other city. But I don't mind buying it elsewhere since I got a new piggybank. If I run out of money, I can visit the Celadon City Game Centre since they belong to Team Rocket.
I return to the PokeCentre to put back all the item I just bought. Then I take a bath and prepare myself for tonight dinner. Then I head to the restaurant we agreed at. This is a middle class eatery and we enjoy a good dinner with our pokemon. After that we visit the Cerulean Gym for the Cerulean Water Show. The show is very interesting since they are using the pokemon move in a very artistic way and a lot of those move make me shock since I never imagine of using it like that.
"Aria, I will leave tomorrow morning, I guess this is goodbye."
"I'm also leaving since the tournament is over. I learn a lot from this tournament. I also earn some cash thanks to you. But I should have bet more money."
"Don't worry, I plan to go to Celadon city in a month or two. I'll call you then if you're free we can attack the Game Centre."
"Wow you must be very confident in gambling. Sure I don't mind but if we lost too much I'll stop. Just call me I live in Saffron City, so I think I can make it."
"Don't worry, I'm good enough to make a living with gambling, I just choose not to. The goodbye."
"Goodbye. See you later."
That night I call home for the first time since I left for a journey. It's not that long since I left so this much is normal. I tell my mom the details about my trip, some interesting thing I saw and the people I met. Of course I don't tell them about how I meet Team Rocket, I don't want them to worry. I just tell the about Team Rocket like I just heard it somewhere.
"Mom actually I won a lot of money at this tournament."
"Did you join it."
"Of course not. It just that my friend suggests me to bet a little and I won a lot of money."
"Good for you then but you should not depend on gambling too much."
"Don't worry, I just bet the amount that I can afford to lose. But I found a way to make money with my skill. So you don't need to send me more money."
"Are you sure, I know that trainers need a lot of money. You don't need to mind us too much; we can still afford it."
"Don't worry, I will still call you if I need money. It just that my pokemon learn a good skill, you must know that a good pokemon can easily bring money."
"Then if you say so."
"Goodnight mom, I need to leave Cerulean City tomorrow I'm going to sleep early."
"Goodnight, take care of yourself."
There are 4 exit to Cerulean City the west exit to Mt Moon, the north exit to the lighthouse, the east exit to Lavender Town and the south exit to the Saffron City. In the game the east exit is block by a tree but in real world that is impossible. But I'm going to follow the game route so I'll head south.
Early in the morning after preparing I head to Route 5, the special pokemon here is Meowth. Actually I am a cat lover but maybe the designer for this game has a grudge against cat so they make the pure cat type pokemon in this world quite weird in my opinion. Either have a big head, too thin or too fat compare to the cool looking dog type pokemon so I don't really like it. Nut Meowth is still a good pokemon as a house pet and my mom like it so I will capture it. It's not really rare so I don't need much time to find it, I caught a female one. Since I already have six pokemon Espeon, Umbreon, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Clefairy and Abra, it was send to Bill PC according to GBA Device.
Then I reach the location of the Day-care Centre. In the real world it is almost the same as in the game, they provide the service to take care and train your pokemon for a very expensive price. This is a perfect place for those rich people who doesn't want to spend time to train pokemon but want to own very powerful pokemon. They have the professional trainer for all type of pokemon, a professional mixer that can blend the best food for pokemon growth, the large area with all kind of environment, medical expert and equipment for pokemon health and a special breeder. But I have nothing to do with this place. Even in game I don't like to use this place.
Further south is the road to Saffron City and an underground tunnel to Vermilion City. There is a Toll counter on the way to Saffron City, in the game the guard is thirsty and don't want to let you pass, so you are force to go to the underground tunnel but in real world that kind of Security Guard has been sacked long ago. So there is no problem if you want to go to Saffron City. Based on the game I should head underground and I just said that I want to follow the game route right, but just for this I want to take a detour. So I pass the toll to the Saffron City.
