But when I talked to him, he told me that he found a rare bug. Sure enough, it was Beedle&#8217;s horned colossus beetle. But he wouldn&#8217;t just give it back, he was going to make me earn it. He would choose ten bugs and I would have to catch all ten within three minutes. If I could do that, he would give me Beedle&#8217;s beetle back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss240.jpg\" alt=\"Stitch: If you do it, I'll give the beetle back.\" width=\"400\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss240.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss240-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>It took me a number of tries, but I did accomplish my goal eventually. As promised, he gave me the beetle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss241.jpg\" alt=\"Obtaining Beedle's insect cage.\" width=\"400\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss241.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss241-300x151.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>I returned it to Beedle and he gave me five gratitude crystals. He also <em>generously<\/em> offered to sell me any item at half price. But he has no items for sale! Wow, what a reward!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-35\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss242.jpg\" alt=\"Beedle: To thank you, you can choose any item here and pay just half price!\" width=\"400\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss242.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss242-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>I then returned to the bug island to play Stitch&#8217;s bug-catching game the normal way. Because of all the practice I already had doing it earlier, I had a much easier time of it. On the beginner course, I had a time of 1:35.89. However, my award was 5 Deku hornets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss243.jpg\" alt=\"Obtaining 5 Deku hornets.\" width=\"400\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss243.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss243-300x151.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>Seems like an odd prize, and it didn&#8217;t help me anyway since I already had the maximum number (99) of hornets I could carry. But he reminded me that the &#8220;Bug Wrangler&#8221; game is basically the main event. So I did the Bug Wrangler game and finished with a time of 1:33.53. My reward was five Faron grasshoppers. Say what?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss244.jpg\" alt=\"Obtaining five Faron grasshoppers.\" width=\"400\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss244.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/ssblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/ss244-300x151.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>I was expecting a better prize&#8230;like a piece of heart or a gold rupee or something. Very disappointing. But still, it&#8217;s one less thing on my list. Speaking of which, here is my updated to-do list.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Win the game on Fun Fun Island<\/li>\n<li>Earn more gratitude crystals and turn Batreaux into a human<\/li>\n<li>Consider getting the best shield from the Thunder Dragon<\/li>\n<li>Complete any other side-quests that pop up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to the bug island with the intention of playing Stitch&#8217;s game.
