Dear Diary:
What a day! We're here in Tasukeru City, which is home to the Pokemon Fire and Rescue competition. Although Squirtle left our party today, I won't miss him too much; he has something more important to do with his teammates on the Squirtle Squad. He did go out with a bang by helping the Squad win the competition.
The adventure began early this morning--I heard Ash chatting with Prof. Oak and saying hi to Heracross. I was about to go back to sleep when I heard a tell-tale guitar chord; that meant Brock was serenading Nurse Joy with a chorus of Well, I'm burnin' up, I got the fever! She's my perfect nurse, and I'll never leave her! Nurse Joy was a little flattered by the song, but she was busy tending to those Pokemon that were going to be in the competition, so Brock's dream of a date was dashed yet again.
We then went around to explore the city, until Ash saw a poster advertising the competition. He wanted to try, but Misty wasn't sure he'd do very well with just Squirtle. Despite her protests, Ash ended up "borrowing" Psyduck and Staryu for the competition.
As we waited on the schedule of events to arrive, we met up with an old friend: Captain Aiden and his team of Wartortles were relaxing in the waiting area, After exchanging some hellos and a bit of a chat, Misty proceeded to tell Brock how we helped Captain Aiden during our trek in the Orange Islands. Not long after, I spotted Officer Jenny with the Squirtle Squad in the crowd, so we offered to share some practice time. Officer Jenny seemed to like that, so we headed off to the practice area. Team Wartortle seemed to be hosing down the flaming targets like popcorn; while the Squirtle Squad could barely knock down even one! However, Squirtle rallied his squadmates and before long, they were hosing the targets down like pros!
The first event of the competition involved putting out a small house fire...and whoever put their fire out first, won. Ash and the others were doing great in the first round, but Psyduck got in Staryu's way, sending him into the blaze. Having to rescue Psyduck cost us the win for the round, frustrating Ash a little. But when Captain Aiden saw how strong the Golduck team we were to face for the second round was; he worried that the Squirtles wouldn't be able to concentrate. Despite Officer Jenny's best efforts, the Squirtles were too afraid to do anything! I quickly shocked them back to attention, and we managed to rally enough to win the second round!.
Before we could start the next event, more flames erupted into the arena, startling the crowds! Captain Aiden saw Team Rocket scorching everything with a flamethrowing machine, so he called his team into action; but Team Rocket decided to turn up the heat on them, rendering their most powerful attacks useless. The other teams tried to help, but Team Rocket captured me and all the Pokemon in the process!
Squrtle told his squadmates that they were going to free me and the other Pokemon...so when the robot tried to squish them, the Squad jumped out of the way. With the robot distracted, Squirtle rammed into it with a Skull Bash; breaking us free! Before Team Rocket could do anything, Squirtle and I combined our power to send them flying!
After several hours of hose squirting, more fire dousing, sliding down poles, dressing up in firemen suits, navigating smoky mazes, and other events, it came time for the final event: The Great Clefairy Rescue! Whoever rescued the Clefairy doll from the burning house first, won! I cheered my hardest as the Squad rallied from a bad start to win the competition by one measly little second! As Squirtle accepted the trophy, Ash said goodbye. I gave Squirtle one last hug as we departed for camp.
Although we had fun today, I'm still going to miss Squirtle being here...but that's all right, because with a brave leader like him, the Squirtle Squad will be the best firefighters around!
Until tomorrow,
Pikachu
Day 40

Current mood: tired
Current location: Goldenrod Bluff
Dear Diary:
I'm tired this evening, mainly because we had to referee a lot of mischevious Wooper today! In fact, Brock's still playing a Pokeflute for them and Misty's still singing to them as I write this...and Togepi's doing the percussion part.
It started as we traveled along Goldenrod Bluff this morning...Misty suggested we sing a song to help pass the time; so we skipped along, singing chorus after chorus of Valderi, valdera, valderi, valdera-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Before Brock could start our fiftieth chorus, he felt something wet on his back, which surprised him to the point of tumbling down the bluff! Closer inspected revealed the wet feeling to be a Wooper that had been following us.
The Wooper's owner, a girl named Alicia, came and helped Brock up. She explained that her Wooper liked clinging onto people, and that our singing must have fascinated it. Brock got his guitar and offered to serenade her, but Misty gave a resounding no. Ash told Alicia that Brock liked serenading girls; which Alicia found interesting because her crowd of Woopers loved singing too.
As we approached Alicia's house, we saw lots of Wooper frolicking in the marshes and ponds. Alicia then told us that Wooper is the prevolution of Quagsire. Just the mention of Quagsire brought back memories of the Quagsire that took the GS Ball.
Misty wanted to see Alicia teach the Wooper, so Alicia reached for a tambourine and began to sing to the Wooper as she shook it; coaxing the Wooper to join in.
The song went something like this:
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Field/6602/SanjiNoYousi_TheThreeOClockFairy_.mid
Hey look, and listen so carefully,
To such a sweet little melody,
The fairy of dreams is calling you!
Listen, oh listen, to hear her call!
She knocks on the door so quietly,
"Wake up, and hurry!" she calls to me.
On her ship of dreams we sail...
To a land full of sweet dreams and treats!
Oh, I am so full of dreams!
Of mint pie and apple pie,
Of sweet cake and happiness
and cookie-ookie-ookies!
I lick the last of this sweet pudding
And then eat a little chocolate
The fairy of dreams is watching me,
Smiling down on us from above!
Smiling down on us from above!
After we applauded, Alicia got an urgent phone call: her mother had been rushed to the hospital with a broken leg, and her presence was needed immediately. She left us in charge of the Wooper as she rode off aboard her motorcycle.
Brock wanted to play a game with the Wooper; but when he went to call them, they were nowhere to be found! I discovered a trail of water leading into the house; where we discovered the Wooper had nearly trashed the living room! So Brock offered some of his homemade Pokechow to the Wooper, and they happily snapped it up! Misty then remembered the Wooper liked to sing; but when she tried to play a rhythm to get them to dance, they were too engrossed in their snack to dance! However, Brock found a Pokeflute lying in the clutter and started to play the tune to "Fairy of Dreams"; which snapped the Wooper to attention! Togepi decided to play the tambourine while Misty, Ash, and I sang the song. Brock led our little parade outside as we sang:
Hey look, and listen so carefully,
To such a sweet little melody,
The fairy of dreams is calling you!
Listen, oh listen, to hear her call!
She knocks on the door so quietly,
"Wake up, and hurry!" she calls to me.

However, when we did a headcount, we saw that one Wooper was missing! Misty, Ash and I volunteered to go after it while Brock entertained the others. We chased it all over the house, all over the bluff, and ultimately out to a rickety old bridge! As we started to cross, the Wooper taunted us a bit. I followed it acrioss as Misty tried singing "Fairy of Dreams" in hopes it would follow us. Strangely enough, the Wooper decided to jump on the bridge in rhythm to the song, leaving Misty and Ash hanging on for dear life!
I found the Wooper captured by Team Rocket! They tried to coax me into their trap, but I refused. About then, Ash and Misty arrived; so Team Rocket summon their entire team to duel us! But, Brock arrived with Alicia to halp, so Alicia told the Wooper to combine their power, which was enought to send Team Rocket packing.
Alicia thanked us for helping her out, and offered to let us camp here on the bluff. So here I am, sitting here in the tent and watching these Woopers on parade..."Fairy of Dreams" is so catchy, I can't get it out of my head!
Trying not to sing along until tomorrow,
Pikachu
