Pokemon Pearl - Wayward Cave

After spending some more time in the Underground, getting myself another Armor Fossil, a couple Moon Stones, a Leaf Stone, and a few different Plates, I started my way south on the Bike Path. I went into the building and met up with Dawn's father, who congratulated me on my progress with the Pokedex thus far, and gave me an EXP Share to help me on my journey. I went down the path and fought a couple Trainers, and Maria and Alexander both grew to Level 20.

I saw some trees that could be cut to the side of the Bike Path, and I went around underneath the path to get myself a Burn Heal, Super Repel, and Poison Barb. I went further back and found the entrance to a place called Wayward Cave, but when I went in I saw that it was nearly black inside, and to continue on at a decent pace I'd need to teach one of my Pokemon how to use Flash. I taught Maximus to use Flash in place of Leer, then went on in.

I made my way through it, using Rock Smash quite liberally, and found no-one as I made my way through, but I managed to grab an Escape Rope. I kept on going through the tunnels, I found a pair of Trainers looking ready for a Double Battle, but I avoided them to continue through the tunnels. I went through a while longer and found a girl, named Mira, who got lost searching for Pokemon, and I agreed to help her through the cave. In a nearby rock I managed to find a Nugget before I started on my way out of the cave. I found out in our first wild Pokemon encounter that she has a powerful Kadabra.

Our first Double Trainer Battle was against a Pokemon Collector and a Ruin Maniac, I sent out Lucius and she sent out her Kadabra, and they sent out Geodude and Gastly. One Confusion attack from Kadabra knocked out Geodude and Lucius grew to Level 21. Lucius used an Ember attack against the Gastly, and it was a critical hit, knocking out the Gastly in one hit. The next two were Bronzor and another Gastly, and I switched Lucius out for Alexander. Mira had Kadabra use Confusion on the Gastly, and it was knocked out. Bronzor used a powerful attack against Alexander, and Gastly Cursed him, bringing him to the red. I switched Alexander out for Maximus, and Confusion from Kadabra took out the Gastly. Maximus finished off the Bronzor with Spark for the win.

Before moving on, I noticed some empty space past those two, but leading to a dead end. I checked around, and found a Tiny Mushroom. It is described as a rare mushroom, quite popular among some maniacal fans, but I have no idea what the hell that actually means; is it something I can sell for a high price, or is it something I need to hold onto for a special service? I guess I'll just have to hold onto it and find out...

Heading on through the tunnels, we encountered more wild Pokemon, and Maximus grew to Level 21. Another wild Pokemon battle and Alexander grew to Level 21 too. We went into another couple wild Pokemon battles before getting into another Double Trainer Battle against a Picnicker and a Camper. They sent out a Meditite and a Buizel, and we sent out Maria and Kadabra. Maria used Water Pulse to greatly injure the Meditite and confused it, and a Shock Wave from Kadabra knocked out the Buizel, and then Maria grew to Level 21. A Shinx was sent out, and one Mud Bomb took it out. Meditite used Bide, trying to get strength to use a powerful attack, but a Confusion and then Water Pulse took it out, and we won.

We continued on our way through the cave, trying to find our way out of it. Looking through some of the rocks, I found a Burn Heal and a Potion as we went through the tunnels. We got into a few more wild Pokemon battles, and Annabelle grew to Level 22, and she learned Bite in place of Curse. We continued on through, and found ourselves in another Double Battle, with another Camper and Picnicker; they sent out a Cascoon and a Silcoon, and I sent out Marcus. One Wing Attack took out Cascoon, and Silcoon was taken out by a Shock Wave from Kadabra. The two Trainers sent out a Dustox and a Beautifly. One Wing Attack took out the Beautifly, and Marcus grew to Level 22. Kadabra used another Shock Wave against the Dustox, but it didn't do much. I had Marcus finish the battle with another Wing Attack. Just past the two Trainers I found a Rare Candy.

We continued on through the tunnels, and after another couple wild Pokemon battles Maria grew to Level 22, and learned Rain Dance in place of Harden. We went farther through, finding an offshoot and a couple more Trainers, a Youngster and a Lass. They brought out Bidoof and Buneary, and I sent out Lucius.  I had Lucius use Ember against Buneary, and Kadabra used Confusion to knock out the Bidoof. Lucius grew to Level 22, but then Buneary used Frustration to bring Kadabra to the red, and a Quick Attack left Lucius on his own. Lucius used Stomp to knock out the Aipom the one Trainer brought out, and another Stomp knocked out Buneary. I just had a Zubat left to fight, and one powerful Stomp knocked it out and won the battle.

Past the two Trainers I got TM32 (Double Team) and went through the tunnels to head on out. Unfortunately I couldn't quite find my way, and instead stumbled upon a couple Hikers. I sent out Maximus, and they sent out Onix and Geodude. A combined Confusion and Bite knocked out the Onix, and then a Confusion attack took out the Geodude. They sent out Machop after that, and Kadabra used Confusion for the win. Maximus grew to Level 22, and we tried to find our way out.

We finally found the exit (Thanks to a map on Bulbapedia) and Mira thanked me for my help before leaving the cave. I left the cave and started towards Hearthome City.
