Puzzle 005 - [Audio]

[hintcoinplz]

[A miserable, cold, and soaking wet Luke Triton currently found refuge from the storm in Dark Cave. He turns on the audio function, since it’s impossible to see anything other than the raging storm outside. A loud sniffle and sneezing can be heard from time-to-time.]

D-does anyone know how far the next town is? I’ve walked for about five days now- [another crack of lightning causes Luke to flinch.] - a-ah! I really hope this storm passes soon. I don't want to spend the night in this cave, I can hardly see my own hand in all this darkness! And I keep hearing weird noises...

S-since this storm might last for a while, would anyone like to hear a puzzle...?

"A snail is at the bottom of a 15 meter tree. He tries to reach the top. Each day, he manages to climb 4 meters, but during night, while he sleeps, he slips back 3 meters. How many days will he need to reach the top?"

I wish I had some hot soup right about now...

I suppose I could give it a shot if I see one.

I guess I'll stay near the entrance then. Wish I had one of those Pokemon that could breathe fire right about now.

Yeah, that would be useful. Sparky could only light up the cave for a moment.

Sparky...? Oh! He can do that sort of thing?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. My Pichu. He can generate electricity.

Wow! First fire-breathing Pokemon and now Pokemon that can create electricity! They really can do anything, can't they?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it looks like they can.
