Good. Okay so eventually we make it to Violet. And proceed to get stuck there for months on end which I already told you about and there's really not much else to say about that time. Boring, lots of people coming and going and it generally sucked. Every time we tried to leave, somebody would disappear and then reappear a few days later and we'd have to sit around and play catchup again and wait. Moving on, come April, we FINALLY manage to free ourselves from that hellhole. But wouldn't you know our luck, Team Rocket decides that that would be the perfect time to test some crazy radio wave stuff. It messed with the minds of Bug Pokemon, causing them to attack whoever and whatever they came across. Worst part was the exploding Pinecos. That was some Grade-A bullshit right there and not fun to travel in. Luckily, our group was so large that we didn't really have a problem fighting off the hoards. Sweet XP was gained by all and it was good.

[Hey, he's kind of getting into this whole storytelling thing. This is good.]
