hello, poke universe, i'm john egbert! or, general poke land, i guess... poke lands. i have a probably really dumb request but just stay with me here for now. come with me on this, uh, idiot journey.

so, i arrived here two days ago and i thought i knew what was going on. i have done pokemon before, i know how the game works. i even got nostalgic and replayed it four years ago so i'm not THAT out of practice. the thing is, i forgot that stuff that takes maybe ten minutes on the game boy would obviously take much longer in person?

basically, i bought some more snacks but i am still on route 29 with no sight of cherrygrove city and i am out of food. is there anything like a bike delivery service that i can order from because i am not finding it with a preliminary search. i can't afford much because there don't seem to be any people to fight on this route but it would be pretty stupid if i couldn't even make it to the first real city?

did they fix it here so you can ride the horse pokemon, incidentally, because i always thought it was weird that you had to get a bike instead of just putting on a special flame proof saddle and riding a ponyta. or non fire horses i guess because there are actually a lot of pokemon here i don't recognise and i guess a special flame proof saddle would cost the same as a bike anyway.

It happens- but it's pretty rare. If anything, most people are a little reluctant to call in the first place because they wanna make sure it really /is/ a ghost they're dealing with.

But if we go in and there aren't any PKE readings in the place, then we let them know. ...and if it's a "just the pipes" situation- where there IS a problem, just not a /ghost/ problem- we give them a referral to somebody who knows how to deal with it. Peter's got a whole mess of "connections" to turn to for that. Usually does some haggling so we get a cut for finding them the job, too.
