I go back upstairs and grab the ITEM BALL.
It turns out to be an ESCAPE ROPE.
Good, I might need one of these.
I head back down the ladder back into the darkness.
I stare at it.
The ARON.
I love it.
It.
Is.
Beautiful.
So I catch her and name her A.
I find this POKé BALL on the ground.
That's great, but now I'm at a dead end.
I backtrack a little.
GAH MY EYES AH EVERYTHING IS GOING BLURRY
Oh, wait, it's just another POKéMON.
Okay.
It is an ARON.
Three moves into the battle, and...
That's right.
It hurt bruh.
It's going to pay for that.
I faint it with a BUBBLE from Luffy.
Good job Luffy.
bruh owes you one.
And Luffy levels up because of this ARON.
Yes! And it learned SWEET SCENT!
I notice it can be used like an HM move, like FLASH or CUT, where you can access it from the PARTY SCREEN.
So I use it.
So another ARON appears.
I let Wally come out.
I run away because even I know that PSYCHIC and STEEL don't mix well.
Guess I'm not going to use SWEET SCENT outside of battle for a while.
A ZUBAT reveals itself.
I laugh at how easy this is going to be for Wally.
And it was.
HALLELUJAH
THANK MEW FOR YOUR PROVISION
I fall down the ladder.
Ouch.
REALLY
REALLY
I AM SO DONE WITH THIS CAVE
I continue through GRANITE CAVE.
IT HAS DIAMONDS FOR EYES I MUST HAVE IT
AND IT'S A BOY TOO
IT'S SO CUTE I LOVE ITTTTT
I name it Diamond because it is amazing that way.
aND IT'S A BOY KFC AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE BEST FRIENDS
I realize that I'm still in the darkness.
My ecstacy dies down.
I find an EVERSTONE.
I cry in delight; I can attach this to a POKéMON in order for them to not evolve!
However, I can't decide who.
I find the next ladder.
This one is going upwards, so I don't fall upwards.
Thankfully.
The ladder after that turns out to be four steps east from the ladder I just came from.
I CAN SEE AGAIN
I'm in the same room that I was in when I entered, except on a different level of ground.
I see a guy with stone-grey, shiny hair.
Is this...
STEVEN STONE?

Yay, Day 8 is over!
Today was really fun to blog, surprisingly.
I actually am glad I got through Granite Cave in one day.
And yes, I know that I repeated the fact that Diamond was a boy.
The mega-grind will occur behind the scenes, dun worry.
Is anyone unhappy with Diamond?
Who should I attach the Everstone to?
