Sky City Caverns

Sky city is a huge floating city, a mile above the ground. You have come by Blimp, and marvel at its…uniqueness. But you haven’t come to challenge the Sky City Gym, or tour the Pokémon Creation Factory. You have come to explore the caves in the mass of land on which the city sits. Going down to the entrance from an elevator at the edge of the city, you cross a rickety rope bridge and come to the entrance of a cave. Next to the cave is a desk, behind which is a mid-teenager fiddling around on a Nintendo DSi. Upon seeing you, he snaps the device shut, and walks around the desk to talk to you.

“Welcome to the Sky City Caverns. Entrance fee is nonexistent, but Pokéballs do cost stuff. See, here you can encounter Pokémon and try to catch them with one of three kinds of pokéballs: Regular pokéballs cost $1 each and have a 60% Capture rate, Great Balls cost $2 each and have a 75% capture rate, and Ultra balls cost $3 each and have a 90% capture rate. You don’t have to buy pokéballs when you enter, but you can buy them as you go. If you don't specify which ball you wanna use, though, you'll by default throw a pokéball. Oh, and this cost will be taken from you after you finish. If a pokémon escapes from the pokéball, you will have to either escape or try again, but you will not be able to change rooms. This won't count toward your room count.

“As for the tunnels, several Pokémon live inside them, but they present a maze. After you’ve gone through thirty rooms, I’ll forcibly remove you from the complex, and you’re free to keep anything you happen to find in the tunnels after that. If you happen to find one of the seven additional exits of the tunnels, you’ll have to exit, but then you, but only you, can re-enter from that exit rather than from the start. You’ll keep all your stuff when this happens. If you ever get horribly lost and want out really badly, just say so, and I’ll be there in a flash.

“Additionally, this place is said to be a resting place of Ho-oh. Be wary of that. Its nest is somewhere in these caverns…But only I know where! If you’re interested in what’s in here for you, just look at that poster over there.” He points to a poster hanging near the entrance to the cave. “Good luck,” he says, and sits back down, re-opening his DSi.
You walk in, and there are three passageways: Right, Left, and Center. Choose one, and view your fate…

The poster says…

ONE GO, MY GOOD MAN

One go, and I'll start with the center path.

St. Christopher: Which path will you take?

From the starting chamber, you walk forward for a little, soon to find yourself in another room, a large number "1" painted in white on the wall. Looking up at you curiously from the center of the room is a...

While you decide what to do, you notice that the room has four other exits. If you catch the Taillow,
[Go back the way you came/Front right passage/Front left passage/Back right passage/Back left passage/stay and keep searching]

For future reference, no, the rooms are not randomized. I actually have a map.

TUNNELS, MY GOOD MAN

St. Christopher
Owed: $0; Room #1
By default, you take the right path and end up in a room with a giant number 2 painted on the wall. You notice there are three other exits in the room.
Suddenly, from a passage right in front of you a Golbat flies in and bares its teeth in a battle pose.

I'll try catching it with regular Pokeballs. If it's caught I'll take the back left passage.

Center.

You throw a poké ball at the Taillow, and it gets absorbed into the sphere with a bright red laser. It shakes once, twice, thrice...Click! Congratulations! You caught a Taillow!

With newfound confidence from your recent capture, you jauntily turn around and take the left passage out of the room. You find yourself in another room, lightened by a torch which illuminates the number three on a wall. You look around the room. There are three other exits, and the passage to the left has a little light streaming back through it. Probably goes back to the start, you think. Suddenly, an Abra teleports right in front of you.

Ignoring the Golbat, which flies away nonchalantly, you take the center passage and find yourself in a room which has the large number "4" printed in white. A wild Zubat appears.

You kick the Zubat hard enough that it flies away, as quickly as it can. You feel a twinge of guilt--then a Staravia walks into the room, curious about the commotion.

Throw a Pokeball, and if it's caught go to the right passage.

You throw a pokéball at the Abra. As it gets sucked into the red and white sphere, you hope you've succeeded in the capture. The ball shakes once. Twice. Thri--no, wait. The pokéball breaks apart and the Abra reappears in a flash of white light. Dang it! It was so close, too!

Another Pokeball, and if caught go to the right.

You throw another pokéball at the Abra. It gets sucked into the red and white sphere again, and this time you feel that you've succeeded. The ball shakes once. Twice. Thrice. A fourth time. But just when you thought it was captured, the Abra breaks out again. Man, you're unlucky today. Should you even bother? Well, it doesn't matter, because the Abra teleports away.

Slightly disheartened, you trudge into the rightmost passage, and soon enter a room with the number thirteen on the wall. Oh. That's PERFECT for your luck now, isn't it. A female Ledyba is taking a rest on the floor.
