Well, that happened. It was great that they won, but as soon as Cecil was out of the Tengela's vines she had the expression that she had seen something that she was never supposed to have seen while she was wedged in it.[color=8882be]"You did well Cecil, take a nice rest."[/color] Basil recalled her back into her Pokeball as well as Lupin, who had been standing by his side watching the battle. 

Jeez these kids were quite dramatic though he had to admire their dedication to play their roles. They even made their little tournament some big thing about determining who was worthy to go catch an apparently rare Pokemon from the drain. 

Of course he was interested in what this mystery creature could be. Of course, it could have been that the kids were being dramatic and at the end of the drain is a really fat Rattata or something, but what did he have to lose? 

[color=8882be]"Thank you, my lord."[/color] Basil smiled and gave him a polite bow before he went further ahead into the drain.

So he had set off to search for the supposed rare Pokemon and boy, did the trek feel awfully long though there was definitely something relaxing about going down this path. Still, he must've crossed into Highhill Town at some point. 

After awhile, he stumbled upon something quite odd; a Pokemon with a giant bulb on its back with vines from its body latched onto a bridge.[color=8882be]"What in the?"[/color] He took out his Pokedex and it said in its polite robotic voice: 

[color=6ecff6]Pokédex Entry #1 – Bulbasaur, the Seed Pokémon. It is born with a seed planted on its back. At first, it survives on the nutrients from the seed, but then the seed and Pokémon starts growing side-by-side, taking in food and sunlight. Typically likes napping in bright sunlight.[/color]

Wait a minute? Wasn't this one of those really rare Pokemon that are given out to trainers as starters in Kanto? Even there it's been said to be extremely hard to find and it was just hanging there helplessly in front of him. It would have been too easy to catch it, but Basil wasn't that kind of person. 

[color=8882be]"Don't worry little one, I'm not gonna hurt you."[/color] He smiled gently as he looked up at the bridge it was clinging onto. Well, it certainly wasn't going to be able to get up there on its own. [color=8882be]"Do you want some help?"[/color] Well, it actually was not in any position to object so Basil had just gone ahead and grabbed the Bulbasaur delicately before he gave it a boost up to the bridge.

Basil had soon followed by scaling the walls with some effort, but he was out of the drainage.
