I was running as hard as I could, no I wasn’t being chased by another Pokémon no, me and Ento decided to race to the small cave we found. I could hear the thumping foot falls of the half ton dinosaur behind me. Finally it was a flat ground stretch until we reached the cave. I could hear Ento’s footsteps getting closer. I was almost there when I saw him out of the corner of my eye, letting a growl loose. I pushed myself to a sprint and Ento tongue flopped out of his mouth as he pushed to keep pace with me. We skidded to a stop sliding into the cave’s mouth and meeting the hard stone floor tripping and falling to the ground both of us letting out pained laughter.

“ARON RON ON NAR,” said Ento, nodding in agreement I replied between gasps “tie *deep breath it is,” I said after getting my breath under control I sat up and scanned the cave it was on the smaller side and didn’t extend very far back it had not stalagmites or other sharp rocks, it was dry and had several raised platforms of rock big enough for my six foot three frame to fit onto, overall it was the perfect place to camp out for the night I got the ding notification again

Quest completed

Rewards: 1x item ticket, 1x food package, 1x limited lighter, 3x food package for Pokémon

Looking into my backpack I pulled out the lighter. It was like any other lighter you could buy in a gas station, or in the line at Walymart putting the cheap thing away I pulled out a package that was extremely heavy ripping one open I found it had multiple bars of iron like metal. Before I could examine them more closely Ento pushed be out of the way and ate the first one doing so with obvious relous. Shaking my head at the antics of my Pokémon I grabbed my backpack and pulled out the item ticket, quickly ripping it I waited for my prize, a popping then clanging noise reached my ears looking down at my item I studied the thick looking metal chest plate. It was a shiny silver with a blue star and really nice looking leather straps. The thing looked really cool slipping into the armor I tried moving it about and slowly started getting used to it. Done playing with my new “toy” I dug out the food package that I had recently received. Inside was shredded chicken and in a creamy sauce with salt and a tiny taste of pepper, it was also spicy with some garlic. Overall, it was really good. Both of us quietly enjoyed our meals. After Ento was finished he climbed over to the entrance to the cave and laid down. His size blocked most of the entrance. Smiling at my first Pokémon I quickly finished my meal, and set the bag it had been in into a corner.

“Good night Ento,” I called out. He responded with a cranky grumble, chuckling to myself, I walked over to one of the raised platforms of stone. I took off the Breast plate afterward. I laid down on my soon to be bed using my backpack as a pillow. Closing my eyes I hoped that tomorrow would be just as fun

Groaning, I rolled off the raised rock platform onto my feet rubbing my shoulders. I tried to warm myself up while rubbing out the knots in my back. Ento’s laugh reached me. Turning to the dinosaur of steel I glared at him. “What’s so funny?” I asked grumbling, that seemed to just make his rumbling laugh increase. Deciding that Ignoring him was the best strategy I had right now, I did just that. Turning around to grab my backpack I started getting ready for the day. After a few minutes I was ready, “let’s get this show on the road!” With an agreeing rumble Ento followed me out of the cave.

Okay so for the day I had three goals

* First get enough firewood to last for three nights

* Second find berries specifically so I can make berry juice (we need healing for Ento)

* And third figure out where we are

With goals for the day me and Ento set out to accomplish them we gathered every and all wood that seemed dry with Ento knocking down a few dead saplings. Soon we had filled most of my bag with dead and dried wood with two bags filled with dead pine needles. I was just slinging my backpack on when we heard a sound from behind us. We both quickly jumped around ready to fight. A small shaggy haired raccoon looking animal stood hackles raised. Quickly looking over it I could tell it was a zigzagoon, and a Pokémon known to be found in Hoenn so by this little guy’s presence that told us where we were, but it looked like our informant didn’t want to let us leave. Sighing I sized up the Pokémon. “Ento!” I shouted “Get ready to battle!”
