Volcano Success!

Going to the volcano again I knew I wanted to get a better picture of Rapidash. Unfortunately, I missed my opportunity. I was too busy looking at the strange purple smoke coming out of the hole to my left. It certainly looked like the Haunters that were in the tunnel. I tried throwing pester balls at it to see if anything would happen. Suddenly, the purple haze turned into a face. I snapped a shot because I knew that this could be the sign I was looking for. Next, I took my time at the point in the track where the egg blocked my progress. I figured I might as well get a better shot of Charmander while I was there. I lured them close to me and let them call many friends over. The picture was worth the wait- Professor Oak deemed it much better than the last. Then I remembered my prized shot of the Fighting Magmar that the Professor didn’t like because it wasn’t “centered.” I decided to try again, this time centering one Magmar to the Professor’s liking. My guess about Pokemon hiding in the lava turned out to be correct- there were Growlithe hiding in the three lava pools near the end of the course. I made sure to snap a good picture of Charmeleon before I knocked him into the lava again. I wanted another shot at Charizard- the Professor didn’t give me a lot of credit on the size of my last one. Overall, this was a very successful run. I managed to get better pictures of several Pokemon, found a couple new ones, and found the Pokemon sign for this area of the island. For all my hard work the Professor presented me with the Pokeflute. He told me to use it often to see rare Pokemon poses. Now I’m off to the tunnel to find the sign from that area, then to the river to attempt to find better poses.
