All pokespeach translated. Where we last left darwin he was in the river that leads to the power plant, about to be dashed to pieces on the rocks ahead of him. In an instinctive reaction, honed by millions of years of evolution, darwin curled up into a ball. Somewhere in his rational mind darwin knew that in his situation, at the speed the current was pulling him, he would be killed or at least seriously injured on the rocks ahead, curled up or not. Reason wasn’t in control anymore though. Darwin let out a "Eeeeeebuuuii!!" (translating approximately as "Fuck you!") before he hit the rock ahead of him. Or at least he would have hit the rock had the rock still been there. The rock that would have smashed him was split into pebbles by a lightning bolt that came seemingly out of nowhere. When the current didn’t pull him under darwin could hear two pokemon speaking in heavily accented eevee. Between dunkings he could make out snippets of conversation. "..Missed you stupid fu………Can’t let anyone through……………Boss will kill us……………" Several more lightning bolts just barely missed darwin, electrifying the water for a few seconds. His black fur stood on end and several jolts coursed through his body. Involuntarily he convulsed a few times as the jolts set off some of the nerves in his body. "….got ‘im!……Moving too fast……Damn current……" The river turned left abruptly, revealing the huge power plant on the north shore. Seeing his chance, darwin swam desperately northward, paddling like a mad pokemon with all four paws. It wasn’t working. The current was simply too strong. In a final desperate bid for shore darwin activated takedown. Darwin could feel his movements accelerate. The power takedown provided surged through his veins and he slowly made progress towards shore. The effects of takedown began to waive and darwin felt exhaustion take over. Just before giving up darwin felt soft sand beneath his paws. He stumbled ashore to the sight of the power plant in all its shining glory looming above him. Suddenly his view was blocked by two large and burly jolteons. "Halt! Don’t try anything funny. Zapdos doesn’t like intruders in his territory." "These must have been the two jolteons who were trying to fry me earlier." He thought. Fighting exhaustion and social instincts that told him to roll over and adopt a submissive position, darwin stood up straight and replied "I’m an ambassador from the pokemon resistance, here to see zapdos. Let me through now or regret it." Darwin said, baring his fangs for emphasis. The two jolteons laughed uncontrollably. "An eevee, and a small one at that threatening us! Get a load of this bonzo!" Two bolts of lightning appeared and knocked the two jolteons clear over to the south shore. Huge and majestic, zapdos landed in front of darwin and spoke in a commanding voice to the jolteon guards "I also don’t like my servants keeping messengers away from me. Remember that next time if you value your lives." Zapdos then spoke to darwin "Excuse my servants rudeness. It will not happen again. Now little resistor, let us speak……" TBC and kudos to those who caught the enders game reference Hedge Man is quite insane.
