Pokemon Trials

Date: 3/20/2017

I was on a trip to Japan , Tokyo. with my friends. ( which are friends I don't have in real life) we had decided to travel to Japan for a Pokemon go trial . The cities would be infested with tons of pokemon as well as trainers looking for a battle to score some points and rep before their trials . My pokemon were not strong so I avoided a lot of the trainers out in the street . We took a train to Shibuya were the trials would take place and I suddenly had a strong urge to use the restroom. I told my friends I would catch up to them eventually. I headed to a building which was designed to be Public restrooms for the price of 300 yen ... I didnt care about the price I just had to pee. The lady handed me a coin for my 300 yen and told me that puting a coin in the restroom slot is the only way to flush the toilet ( for some reason this lady spoke Spanish and Japanese so this entire conversation was in Spanish ) . So I took my coin ,sat down on a toilet and peed for a good half a minute or so it felt like if it had been the longest pee of my life. After that I headed out to seek where they were helping the trials I walked and found the place .. it was like a giant faire event or something organized by ninja warriors but friendlier to the public. I looked for my friends but didn't find them and I couldn't call them with my phone because I had no international calling. I went to the sign up table to see if they had all ready registered .. but they hadn't then I look over to my left and see a group of people upset .. they see me looking ...and start going "hey hey you wanna be on our group we need one more person" I looked around to make sure they were talking to me ... i nodded yes and approached them and wrote my name on their team list. We were officially registered for the trials . ( I did it because I didn't think I was going to be able to find my friends anymore and I didn't want to miss the trials. The trials groups had to be made up of 5-6 people and I was the 6th of my friends so I didn't feel like they really needed me) As a group we were now redirected to a tower looking building they explained that each level of the building was a trial and to clear the level we had to find the hidden keys to move on to the next floor and so on..( the building was 10 stories high so 10 levels. ) I remember going through the first 5 trials very easily .. some pokemon battles and questions , easy obstacles and puzzles. the keys weren't hard to find if anything they were the easiest thing in the trial because they weren't really hidden as they had said but hard to reach while doing the obstacles part of the trials. When we cleared the 5th level we ended up in a small lobby to rest up and gather our thoughts for the 5 remaining levels that were supposed to be harder. we rested for a bit caught new Pokemon we found in the lobby and then continued. The Sixth trial I remember being the hardest for me . ( apparently I had done these trials before a previous year and I was remembering how hard it was ) It began with pokemon questions but that wasn't the hard part .. it was the obstacle course .( I'm hardly fit to do some long distance running or anything like that so I knew this was going to tire me out or I wouldn't have any energy to continue) I did well on the first two parts of the obstacle course then came the water part.. you either had to walk on top of the planks or if you fall like I did have the strength to pull yourself to the other side all while fighting a water current. luckily I made it to the other side and my team mates who were faster and stronger helped me out of that water .. but there was more water flowing down this climbing wall where you had to climb up on small 2 inch wide planks nailed to the wall all while water was flowing down. it was slippery and you needed a lot of upper strength to keep yourself from falling down. It took all my strength but I made it to the very top and the key was waiting for us on a small box ... ready for level 7 we open the door and then I wake up.
