It is pretty late to be posting this up but better late than never. Here is a notepad entry describing the events my best friend and I had to go through.

/*
Today was pretty hectic. My best friend and i were on a journey. It was a journey to a Pokemon at Toys R Us. We had our directions memorized, the departure and arrival times of a specific bus route and our DS loaded with the pkmn cartridge on standby. The trip to our predestine stop went smoothly…

Well sense I was not able to finish the entry, I will continue on from here:
It was a 45 minute ride from the campus to a location that is nearby Toys R Us. Then came the troublin part, where do we go from here? We came across a highway intersection and decided to go right, according to what google maps says. Now it took us 30 mins to realize that we were walking the wrong direction so we walk back to the same highway intersection, wasting a whole hour just to realize that we took a wrong turn. By the time we arrived the highway intersection again, we saw the Toy R Us store was in front of us the whole time. We felt like bakas and started running towards the store. It took a good five mins to get inside the store, get out shaymin and some goodies (promo poster and a discount coupon), and head back to the bus stop. So you think that our hardships were over, well by the time we arrived to the bus stop, there were no more buses for the night. T-T, knowing that no buses would go back to the campus, another bus driver told us he could drive us as close to the campus as possible and it was on the house. Well if there was a Kami-sama, I would thank him for such fortune ppl to help us out. From there on out, we managed to arrive to the campus, after the bus driver dropped us off at a Friendly’s (one of those family restaurant types), with the help of our friend picking us up. It sure was a long journey, approximately 5 hours, to get a rare pokemon but it is worth it. ah yes and the pokemon we caught was a small little shaymin ^^

Now for those who played pokemon, would you go over the extreme and catch a rare pokemon at such events? And would you go to somewhere near/far? Or would you just wait until a friend is kind enough to trade it to you?
