[ Sup Pokemon trainers, this is a bit of an SOS. ]

If anyone could inform me of a place matching the following description, it would be appreciated:
- Cave
- Exceedingly cold and dark
- Inhabited by at least the following: Zubat, Golbat, Seel, Dewgong(?), Shellder, Cloyster, Horsea, Seadra, Marril, Spheal, Woobat, Piplup, Prinplup, Dragonair(?), Absol(?)
- Probably in Kanto

Additionally, directions for EXITING said cave would be wonderful. Not only is spelunking not my thing, I haven't recently stocked up for a long journey.

I've blacked out for a few days before, but this is the first time that I woke up somewhere drastically different. I see why some of you complain about it.

[Envy actually does have a good idea of where this guy is, having been lost in the Cave of Icy Doom once before. But more importantly, he recognizes this guy's 'Gear ID from when he was going back through Edmund's text post a while ago, trying to figure out where the hell his ghost was.]

If you're in the caves I think you are, then I hope you have a pokemon with strength. And a good sense of direction.

[ Hey, Joshua tried to convince him not to wander off with a stranger! ]

I see. Failing the good sense of direction, any advice?

[Envy didn't actually have any problem with Edmund and Joshua's conversation. He's just not a very helpful person. But it could be worse, he could have had a problem with it and now be intentionally misleading him!]

Escape rope. Teleport. Befriend one of those Dewgongs and ask it how to get out.

I was lost in those caves for ages, and it was a while ago. I don't remember the way.

[ The lack of intentional misleading is very kind of him. ]

I suppose I'll be trying that last one. I never leave town without my flyer or my teleporter, but it seems that during my three-day drunken stupor I left both in the boxes. Wonderful. I wonder if they'll like a Glaceon.

Worth a shot.

And it could be worse. You could have nothing but fire types with you.

Fair point. I have one that I've been using for warmth, but I'd imagine if I needed them for fending off the locals, they wouldn't last too long. Exactly how long were you lost for?

A week or two. But my group went in there on purpose, so I started from the beginning. Who knows where in the caves you are.

Did you explore all of it? Or do I have the lucky possibility of being deeper in than you ever reached?

I doubt we explored all of it, we were mostly wandering around lost.

Since where we land after these three day incidents always seems to be as inconvenient as possible, you probably landed in the deepest, darkest part of the caves and will never see the light of day again.

[ Oh he likes you. ]

Then I'll just have to start figuring out which Pokemon are edible. Nothing motivates a team like letting them know that if we don't find enough food from the wild Pokemon, they're next.

if i had to guess id say youre in the seafoam islands
but ive never really had to navigate them

that just seems like a likely location for kanto/that set of pokemon

[ There's a pause before the reply while Joshua looks it up. ]

... Are there any other possibilities? Last I can remember, I was on the other side of the map from there.

none that i know of off the top of my head
try a search through your gear dex on the rarest of those pokemon :o

Now THAT'S an idea.

[ brb in a few minutes. ]

tell me how it works out! :)

[ It takes a little while for Joshua to finally reply. Sorry, ambushed by another Golbat. ]

Assuming it WAS a Dewgong I spotted yesterday, then this would have to be the Seafoam Islands. If I was wrong about that, then this might also be the Whirl Islands, but I don't quite remember them being this unfriendly.

well there you go!!
confirmed
do you have pokemon who can help you get out of there?

Define "help". I have one that's keeping me from freezing to death, the one that's occasionally lighting up the cave, and the one that's keeping our company in check. I don't have the one with Teleport.

well
thats sort of helpful
id offer to send something or fly there but
im nowhere near that area and you arent near a pc :(

This would certainly have been a lot easier if I WERE. Perhaps I should simply count my blessings that I wound up with the fire type of mine NOT fueled by souls. As well as that I have one that can Surf, since I'll probably need it if the map is any indication.

that does seem like a pretty convenient spread of pokemon!

I don't have THAT many, so the chances of it were pretty high. Assuming this is just a random assortment of mine in the first place, which I'm not so sure I believe. It feels much more like I made my way here while drunk, without many of the side effects from blacking out once I woke up.

oh?
most of the people i know have full boxes so i suppose i get used to assuming most people do haha

i would assume its just a matter of you know
one of those weird weekends or whatnot

I think you're probably stuck on Seafoam Islands like I am...

Great... How are YOU faring?

I could be worse. The only thing bothering me is that I can't get back to mainlands on my own.

[The trouble of being a grass-type trainer and your Tropius being on the PC.]

I can send a Pokémon to look for you though, if you need a way out? I'm not sure if I can navigate through the cave by myself...

You help me out of here and I can help you off the islands. That's a trade I'm willing to make.

Why did you enter the cave in the first place?

A wonderful question! I'll tell you if I finally manage to remember entering it.

How do you forget that?! have you been stuck there forever?

If "forever" is somewhere between four and seven days, yes. Do YOU have perfectly clear memories of earlier this week?

Hey! I can remember some things like what Pokemon I caught and what I had for dinner.

Some things, but not everything, right?

Well yeah, but I'd remember when I entered a cave and decided to live there for a whole week!

You know, I would have said that once upon a time. But this place has its ways, I suppose.

hmmm. I guess anything can happen where there's dragons breathing fire or giant scary bees are around.

Well, not ANYTHING. All worlds have some sort of internal consistency, even if it's drastically different from what you're used to. Though I still haven't figured out how those three days work in relation to the rest of our time here.
