It's been a week since we started infiltration and camouflage training on Mt. Chimney. Every day has been a challenge, but the effort has been worth it. As we get closer to the day of the mission, the pressure feels even more intense. Tomorrow, we set off to infiltrate Kanto, and the uncertainty is consuming me.
The mountain is a beautiful place, with its rocky landscape and vibrant nature, but today, as I look out to the horizon, I feel that its beauty contrasts with the darkness of our plans. Has anyone realized what we're doing? Hoenn's intentions? Paranoia is a constant companion here, and every time I hear a noise in the forest or a conversation among the recruits, my mind jumps to the worst.
Rumors float in the air, and information spreads quickly among the soldiers. I've heard talk about new technologies Devon Corporation has been developing specifically for this war. There's a buzz about an innovative repellent that can mask scents, even from Pokémon with the keenest sense of smell. Imagining our squad moving silently, invisible to creatures that could give us away, is both a relief and a worry. Will it really work? Will we be able to get close to Kanto's bases undetected?
There's also talk of an upgraded PokéNav, designed with an even greater range, able to communicate between regions. This new version is said to be equipped with systems and apps centered around military operations, which could be a crucial advantage in the field. Still, I wonder if all of this will be enough. What if Kanto already has its own devices and security measures? What if the rumors about the power in the shadows are true? I can't stop thinking about the new champion and the rumors about his strength.
I look at Slugma as he stretches, and I feel a bit calmer. He's been with me every step of this journey, and his presence reminds me that, whatever happens, I have a friend by my side. But, will that be enough to overcome everything ahead?
Tomorrow, we set off, and with it, the fate of many could change. I'm ready to face whatever comes, but at the same time, I can't help but feel a mix of excitement and fear. The infiltration will only be the beginning, and I wonder how our reality will change after this first step into Kanto.
