In Other News: Base Jumper Causes Scene

    Yesterday afternoon a Base Jumper caused much unrest in Saffron City. The man climbed to the top of Silph Co, Kanto’s tallest building, standing at 108 pixels high. He summoned his Snorlax, and said he was going to jump down and fall on to the bouncy Snorlax to break his fall:

Local witnesses were astounded at this extreme act of sporting. A local swimmer even climbed up the back of the Silph Co. skyscraper to try to stop the man from jumping. In the end, the man did jump and landed safely, making his base jump, the highest recorded base jump in Kanto. Police were immediately on the scene, but the man quickly summoned his Pidgeotto and used Fly.

The chief of Police said this:

“Kids these days are always doing stupid things to try to break some record, or get attention. If you want attention, then why don’t you just challenge the Pokemon League?!

It is rumored next, that the man plans to jump off the Olivine City Lighthouse. We, Pokemon News and Economics, will be the first to post any further breaking news.
