Martin Price
Sprout did a great job battling the Durant Martin picked out. They didn't have enough power to hurt it, but Leech Seed didn't care about that. While Sprout did a great job avoiding it's attacks, Martin took note of how hard it was hitting. He was almost worried what would happen if it connected. His concerns didn't last too long, as Durant was weakened as planned by outlasting it. With a toss of his Pokeball, he was relieved. That makes the fifth Pokemon to his team, and a tough one at that. While a bad choice to use here with all the Heatsmor and other Durants, it was another Bug Pokemon. Something Martin was more than happy to add.
"Good to see you woke up, Sprout. So welcome to a really huge cave. Hope you aren't afraid of the dark." At this mention, Sprout looked around and came to the same understanding. He also couldn't see a thing. It was a good thing Martin was having trouble seeing down here, cause he missed Sprout silently laughing at him. What human willingly goes to a place with no idea of what to do or where to go? It didn't stay silent for long, as Sprout was just laughing as the idea just got funnier and funnier. "Okay, I get it. You can stop now. It is a great idea to explore a dark cave all by myself who knows how far underground. I don't need to explain this to you. Just come back, me and Nincada can handle exploring the dark."
With a flash of red light, Sprout was called back. He didn't ask for a Pokemon to sass him, but not much to do about it. He has two new Pokemon caught since he left, and still no chance to check them out or say hi. Just the downside of a no stops trip to see how far he can go.
"Okay Nincada, it's time to move on. I've thought about it, and I'd rather take the path up ahead that went towards water. The other choices just sounds like a bad idea. I got some Potions easily, but it might be going quickly if I make bad choices. Think you can take me that way?" Nincada sat still, not giving any response. Martin still wondered why was Nincada so silent all the time. Nincada finally looked in a direction and started walking. "Okay, I guess it's this way then. Don't leave me behind this time, please."
Action: Go back to the splitting path, and take the left turn. Towards the sounds of water.
