"Is that where you're getting your Pokemon?" Mitsu asked curious as she hadn't really studied Sinnoh's map. But she didn't really care if they were leaving this city. All the flashing lights and ads galore was all too much for her. Maybe she'd return when she was more accustomed to the region. Was all of Sinnoh so industrialized? If it was she felt like she might have to take a boat back to Hoenn sooner than she'd planned on.
But as soon as they left the city perimeter, the steel buildings turned to simple grass and tree, something she definitely preferred. She breathed in the good clean air, free of smog and other disgusting things that mucked up the air of Jubilife. Mitsu smiled and followed the tall boy to this mystery Sandgem town.
----------======----------
"Nice to meet you all!" Mia smiled, happy that these strangers had forgiven her. They were an odd looking bunch. Sasha was a fairly pretty girl of decent height and pink hair, Keegan a grumpy looking boy with red hair, and Kasiya a blonde who was both short and. . . clingy. Then again who was she to judge, her hair was a deep blue cut into a stylish bob that reached just above her shoulder. And not just her hair, her outfit was fairly crazy too, matching the theme of Crasher Wake's gym outfit, though he seemed to like t wear it at home sometimes too.
"Shopping?" she asked, hoping she wasn't butting in, "I've been here a few times, I could show you where the stores are if you'd like." It was true, while she didn't really leave Pastoria for many reasons, she had come to Jubilife a few times with her parents either for vacation or shopping for things that their little rainy town did not hold in their modest stores. She just hoped that her memory didn't fail her and that she remembered where these stores were, whatever they were shopping for. Clothes, as she'd guess from Kasiya's rather torn and destroyed outfit.

Kasiya once again reached into her pocket for her PokeDex, very curious as to what the Pokemon Mia had with her was. She'd called it Rhyme at one point, but Kasiya thought it was probably a nickname. She took her PokeNav out first, noting that she had a few messages, but she ignored them for now, instead scanning the weasel-like Pokemon curiously. "Floatzel!" she exclaimed, snapping the slender, red device shut. "It's so cute!" she giggled, wanting to try and pet it, but Rhyme's sharp fangs seemed like a warning not to try and get close. Her PokeNav chirped again and she checked it, biting her lip anxiously. She hadn't the faintest idea that Mia as studying them closely as she snapped her Nav shut as well and crammed it into her pocket, swearing that she heard the sound of the fabric tearing a little more.
"Thanks, but I think I'm gonna pass on the shopping for now," she said, having finally released Keegan's arm from her death grip (not that her arms were teeming with strength or anything...). She knew Sasha would be disappointed, but as a Pokemon Trainer, she always put Pokemon first, even ones she didn't technically own yet. She made sure she had all her Pokeballs in order and she hugged her two friends, blushing a little when it was Sasha's turn. "I'll be back soon, I promise," she said, waving at Mia as she headed out of the Pokemon Center. "It was nice meeting you," she called over her shoulder as she stepped through the sliding doors and back into the bustling city. If I hurry, I bet I can catch up with Kilik and Mitsu, she thought, realizing that she hadn't spent much time with either of them lately, and she felt a slight pang of guilt in her chest.
It didn't take very long for her to assemble her bike and climb aboard, and soon she was making her way through the crowded streets, following the signs that lead her south onto Route 202. Though Kasiya had grown up in the city, even she felt a little trapped by the sheer size and hustle and bustle, and she found herself pedaling a little faster than normal in order to try and escape it. She and the others hadn't spend that much time in the Pokemon Center, so she knew her friends couldn't be too far ahead of her. It wasn't long before the busy streets were replaced by trees and grassy plains, and it wasn't much longer after that she was able to see two figures in the distance - one practically towering over the other. That's gotta be them, she thought, feeling the serious burn in her legs from all her pedaling.

Heading to the bathroom Robin hummed a happy little tune to herself. The earlier guilt she had felt was fading away as she cleaned her face from the makeup that was smudged on her face. Looking down she noticed that her tights were messed up but it wasn't to big of a deal she had a few extra pairs she could change into. Unhooking them she stripped them off and slipped into a new pair hooking them back up so they stayed up on her legs. Grinning she slapped her thighs and kicked her legs slightly enjoying the feeling of clean fabric. Looking up she caught Ace watching her with indifferent eyes through the window, not really caring that he had watched her change Robin grinned and waved at him before skipping out of the restroom.
Heading back outside she saw that Ace was back on the ground a few yards away from Rowan and Ampersand. The two older men were discussing something and Ampersand seemed a bit upset about something but when he saw Robin he brightened up a little. "Welcome back Robin."
"Heh, thanks." Robin paused as she looked around realizing it was a lot quieter then it should be. "Wheres Luffy?" Robin wondered aloud.
Both Rowan and Ampersand exchanged a look and shrugged. Either of them had not seen the energetic Ambipom for a while. On the ground Ace looked a little confused, what was a Luffy? Was it that Ambipom he had ditched with the ghost pokemon? That was his trainers Ambipom? Hm, maybe he would be losing his new trainer quicker then he thought. Grinning to himself at the prospect of ditching this dumb girl Ace stepped up and pointed into the forest.

As the two of them walked, he had to admit that he really did love the scenery. Sinnoh was very bright, and there was a comfortable chill in the air. He rounded a corner and saw something rustle in the grass a few feet ahead. "Hey now..." he whispered over to Mitsu, "wonder what could be over there?" He motioned for her to follow him and slowly crept up into the grass. Suddenly, a brown Pokemon burst out of the grass and landed in front of Kilik, a very dopey look on the Pokemon's face. It had large buck teeth, similar to a Raticate's, and it tilted it's head. "What is that?" Kilik laughed, not out of excitement, but just out of how silly the Pokemon looked. He pulled out his PokeDex and held it up:
"Bidoof, the Plump Mouse Pokemon," the Dex said in it's gruff voice, "This Pokemon has nerves of steel and nothing can perturb it. It's more active and agile than it appears. It constantly gnaws on rocks and trees to whittle down it's large teeth."
"Bidoof?" the Pokemon sat up on it's hind legs.
"This should be over quick!" Kilik pulled out Treecko's Pokeball and let it fly, the gecko appearing from the sphere in a flash of light, looking around her. Where was she? What was going on? Where did Pan go? What was this silly looking beaver thing in front of her? "Ready for a real opponent, Treecko?" Kilik asked, pointing at the Bidoof, "Go get 'im with your Dragonbreath!" A battle already? She planted herself on all fours and reared her head back, blasting her opponent with a stream of blue fire.
Angered by the sudden attack on it, the Bidoof shook off the burning sensation and ran towards Treecko and gave her the strongest Tackle he could muster! Though it wasn't much to her. The gecko looked over her shoulder at Kilik, with a look that practically said "Why am I fighting such a low level Pokemon?" Kilik shrugged. "Some experience is better than no experience," he said, "Treecko, give it another Dragonbreath, and finish it off!" Nodding and unleashing another stream of blue flames from her mouth, Treecko gave it everything she had. Kilik had wanted to fight this brown thing for some reason and she wasn't going to let him down! Ouch! Bidoof faltered around a little bit and decided to run, completely drained of the will to battle anymore. Yet he barely made it into the grass before falling over.
Treecko pumped her arms into the air and ran over to her trainer, hopping up onto his shoulder. "Yeaha-yeah!" Kilik gave her a high-five, smiling wide when her little hand touched his. "Well, that was fun," he said, turning to Mitsu. "I sure hope some of the species here are a little more interesting than Bidoof..." he scratched the back of his head and then raised an eyebrow when he saw a figure on a bike behind her, pulling up closer. The blonde hair was unmistakable. "Hey, Kas!" Kilik said, waving.

Sasha clapped excitedly when Keegan mentioned their shopping trip. "Oui! We are going shopping and going to try on all z'hese cute outfeets! I'm zo exciteed!" She smiled widely, her mind wandering slightly to her previous images of Kasiya in various coats and pants. Her face was red with embarrassment, which only drove Sasha more wild. "Mee-heeheehee!" she giggled. "Let's all go shopping togez'her z'hen!"
But when Kasiya mentioned that she was not going to be joining them while they shopped, something inside her died. Disappointment would be the most powerful of understatements. Sasha's eyes bugged out, and her lower lip practically wrapped over her nose. She sat there frozen, not realizing the hug she was getting from Kasiya as she bid her farewell. She stood there, still as a statue, utterly destroyed by the change of plans. When the automatic doors slid shut, Sasha let out a horrible high pitched wail. It was like someone stabbed a Whismer in the eye then ran over its family. It was a wonder that the windows didn't crack. Tears streamed down her face as she shook her arms frantically, her knuckles white from her clenched fists.
"C'est la pire chose qui soit jamais arrivé à moi! Je me sens si trahi! Je suis nul! Tout le monde me déteste! Je veux mourir!" Sasha wrapped her arms around Keegan and continued to scream out.
"Oh no, what happened to that poor girl?" One trainer asked.
"Maybe she just found out one of her parents died." Another trainer suggested.
"Poor thing." an older woman remarked.
"Je voulais aller faire du shopping et mon ami en robe de vêtements mignons! Dieu me hait! Je vais me tuer!"

If Keegan would have known just how Sasha was going to react to Kasiya's sudden departure, he would never have let the blonde girl leave. It wasn't surprising to him for her to suddenly take off, as he knew Kasiya had the attention span of something that had a very short attention span, but the moment he looked to Sasha he knew this was going to be very, very, bad. "Wait a minute, Sasha, it's not what-" but before he could even finish thinking the sentence, Sasha had let out a sound that he couldn't even begin to describe what it was like, and he was sure his ears had started to bleed as a result. And I thought Kassie's screams were bad, he thought, the pain in his ears matched only by the pain in his upper body as the pink-haired girl had flung her arms around him and was now squeezing the life out of him, still screeching away like a banshee that had just slammed its fingers in a car door. It didn't help that he didn't understand a single word she said, either.
He glanced apologetically at Mia as he tentatively patted Sasha's shoulders, not sure how to console the miserable, yet incredibly over-dramatic girl, and when her sobbing didn't subside, he sighed in defeat and wrapped his own arms around her in a protective embrace. "Kassie's like that," he told her reassuringly. "She gets an idea in her head and she goes running off like a crazy person, but she doesn't mean anything bad by it. There, there, itll be all right." Without thinking, he kissed the top of her head, realizing that she smelled kinda nice, and he also made a mental note to scold Kasiya for up and leaving him alone with the crazies, even if one of them was incredibly, incredibly hot.

"Out of all the things I have seen in my life...." Maxi eyes were wide with awe and fear. He wasn't sure if he should of believed what happened. His legs shook and his expression priceless. The young man he had climbed the mountain to help died... He fell to his demise and Maxi was sure that he died, but.... but now he is flying off on his charizard.
"That bird revived him... how?" Ideas ran through his head, but he knew he would never know. He could only stare in disbelief as he watch the young man disappear without saying goodbye or anything. Not that Maxi care too much. It looked like the boy was ready to attack him at any moment. "I should forget that all of this happened but... that kid was an interesting fellow." Maxi looked at Lee who was stunned as well. His big eyes did not blink which was a first and he stood perfectly still.
"Lee... we just say something so special and we did not even leave the island." The scuffle pokemon nodded. "I think we were destined to see this. I think we should leave the island little one and travel for a while." The tyrogue looked up at his master first with a face of shock. He would have never thought they would leave the island again. Him and his master spent so much time isolating themselves and now this. A smirk appear on his face and he leaped onto his master shoulder with a new presence about him.
"I guess it is settled then..." Maxi smiled at his buddy and then walked out of the cave. Maybe I can be me again.... The two began to rush down the mountain. A new journey awaited them.

If all the Pokemon in Sinnoh looked like the Bidoof, well, Mitsu would be a very unhappy trainer. The thing was dumber than a Slowpoke and not nearly as cute! And it was weak too, being defeated by only one of the newborn Treecko's attack. Then again, Lucario originated form Sinnoh too and he was one cool Pokemon. He'd probably like seeing home so Mitsu sent him out. "Lucario! Welcome home!" Mitsu laughed, sending forth the Steel Pokemon.
"Jubilife is not my home Master, but thank you," the Pokemon replied, bowing deeply in respect. He breathed in the scents of Sinnoh, enjoying the familiar scents and auras around him.
Mitsu soon spotted a blonde cycling her way towards them. "Kasiya!" she shouted, waving to the girl. They hadn't really spent much time together, even though she was the first person Mitsu had met at the beginning of her adventure.
---------======----------
Mia too wished that Kasiya hadn't left. Sasha's wailing was loud, high-pitched, and just a little annoying. She was use to loud voice, her father's was booming, but nothing this high pitched. And at the very least it was in English. She didn't understand a single word that the girl was shrieking and Mia wasn't sure she wanted to know either. Well, at least I know there are other weird people in this world, Mia though mentally smiling. She meant no malice with her thought, in fact it was the opposite, she was glad to have someone strange like herself.
Luckily Keegan managed to quiet her down with a kiss on her forehead. Wasn't the other girl just clinging onto him like he was her property or something? And now he had his arms around Sasha. Then again, she was much prettier than the blonde. Well, Mia concluded, Keegan must be good with the ladies. She mentally laughed.
Rhyme looked at the blonde, but didn't give her the option to pet her, instead retreating to her Pokeball, Jello doing the same right after. They were tired. "So," Mia asked, "which kind of store are we going to?"

Kasiya's bike skidded gently to a stop just in time to see the strange little brown Pokemon making its escape into the tall grass lining the side of the road, and she waved breathlessly, having pedaled non-stop since hopping on her bike back at Jubilife. For some reason, a part of her felt like she really shouldn't have left Sasha and Keegan like that, and she was sure she would be in trouble when she met up with her two friends again. "Who's... that... Pokemon...?" she managed between breaths, slowly feeling her heart rate and breathing returning to normal. The ache in her legs began to subside as well, and she smiled happily at her two friends before giving a respectful nod to Mitsu's Lucario. "I'm glad I managed to catch up with you guys," she added, dismounting her bike. "I wanted to go to Sandgem, too." She looked towards the little Treecko perched on Kilik's shoulder, and offered a little wave, hoping the tiny gecko didn't harbor any grudges against her for the battle earlier. If anything, she was sure Pan was going to win that one. "Shall we keep going? That is, unless you don't need a third wheel getting in your way," she added, not wanting to intrude.

Kilik looked over at the Lucario, raising an eyebrow. It was certainly an impressive Pokemon. Treecko returned Kasiya's wave. It wasn't the trainer she was mad at after all! No, it was that Charmeleon. one day, she would show that fire breather a thing or two about messing with her true love! "Well, the more the merrier, right?" Kilik laughed, sliding his hands into his pockets and turning heel to head towards Sandgem Town. He pulled out his PokeNav and started cycling through messages that were left on his new Trainer Identification Page - it appeared that a lot of trainers had one after downloading the newest update for the PokeNav. Even trainers that he hadn't kept in touch with in quite some time, like Nina and even Mike (who he still wondered about), had it. The T.I.P. was an interesting new function for the Nav, allowing trainers to post statuses about their locations, what they're up to, and even talk back and forth to each other over the network. It seemed to all but make the texting function of the Nav completely obsolete.
"A Piplup, huh?" Kilik said, looking over his shoulder at Kasiya, "Isn't that the penguin thing that Rowan showed a picture of at the Beach Party?" he was pretty sure of it, anyway. Chimchar was the one thing he kept focusing on. He tucked the Nav into his pocket and looked over at Treecko. "We're gonna have a new friend, gal. And he'll be very excited to be with us." I hope so anyway... The gecko nudged her trainer's cheek. She hoped so as well, because she very likely couldn't deal with a mean Pokemon. Why couldn't all Pokemon just be quiet and reserved like she was? The compliment she gave herself made her slightly ashamed, and she hid her face in Kilik's neck. The trainer raised his eyebrow again, wondering what she had thought about that suddenly made her so shy.
"You getting anything while you're there, Mitsu?"

Lucario bowed to the blonde girl. He was always respectful towards females, it was the chivalrous side of him that demanded that he treat women with respect and kindness. "Not at all! It'll be nice to hang out, it's been so long," Mitsu said with a laugh, smiling because she truly was glad to have her friend there with her. Though she wondered why she wasn't with Keegan and Sasha or why they hadn't tagged along with her.
"Ummm. I think Dante mentioned something about wanting a Turtwig," she said, "though I have to admit I don't know what it is. Or what a Piplup or Chimchar are either. I missed Prof. Rowan's seminar on Sinnoh Pokemon." She smiled sheepishly, not even remembered what she was up to to have missed something like that. The only reason she even had Lucario was because Liza and Tate as sent it to her, a gift from a mysterious breeder who lives somewhere in this vast region.

"Yep, a Piplup," Kasiya replied, grinning over at Kilik and Treecko again. She carefully folded up her bike and stowed it away before she took out her PokeDex and scrolled through the entries until she came upon Sinnoh's three starter Pokemon, and she showed it to Mitsu. "The cute little chimp is Chimchar, and the penguin is Piplup, which obviously means that the last one is Turtwig. They're all kinda cute though, aren't they?" She looked back at the screen, studying each of the three carefully once more. They certainly were different from the starter Pokemon Professor Oak offered new trainers in Pallet Town, or the ones you could get in Johto and Hoenn, but then again it seemed only natural that they'd differ so much. She also remembered well that if her father hadn't given her a Pokemon Egg that contained her now-fully grown Vaporeon, Ariel, she would have made her way to Pallet Town and seen about getting a Charmander from Professor Oak. I did end up getting my Charmander anyway, though, she thought to herself, a light blush appearing on her cheeks as she remembered the cute and sheepish look Keegan wore as he'd handed her Nova's bright orange Egg. I still need to think of a way to repay him for that, she thought, remembering how his parents had disapproved of him giving Pokemon Eggs to his friends.
She looked back over at the cool-looking Lucario before eventually scanning him with her PokeDex as well. The Aura Pokemon, she read, very much intrigued by the entry. Lucario seems like such an interesting Pokemon; Mitsu's lucky! She closed the device and looked up, now able to see Sandgem unfolding before them. It really wasn't very far from Jubilife, and she stopped and stared, amazed at just how different this small town was from the huge city they'd just been in. In the distance, she could see water and what looked like a sandy white beach, and there didn't seem to be many buildings at all in town, though there was one large building that seemed to stand out a little more than the others. "I bet that's Professor Rowan's lab," she said, pointing it out to her friends. "C'mon, let's go!" Laughing, she ran ahead towards the smallish town, her excitement near the bursting point. I sure hope I can get me a Piplup!

"Mais elle a promis!" Sasha wailed in protest and stomped her feet like a little girl. Her tantrum came to an abrupt and unexpected end when Keegan pulled her into a gentle embrace. She let out a light squeak in surprise. The shock made her heart race. Sasha looked up at the boy, tears still running down her face. He looked annoyed, sure, but at the same time, there was a definite gentleness in his eyes. Sasha found herself staring. "Keegan..." She buried her head in the boy's shirt and sobbed. "We were going to go shoppeeng, and I was going to forget about everything z'hat had happened..." She had been through so much in the past week: the kidnapping and then the beach party, as well as her run in with Mazarin. This was going to be one thing she could look forward to. Just a day out with her friends.
"I'm sorry, Keegan." she said once she calmed down. "I know you must s'hink I'm a spoiled brat, crying because I didn't get my way." She pulled herself closer to him and lightly nuzzled him with her cheek. "But you are such a gentleman." Detaching herself from him, she took out her red handkerchief and dabbed her eyes dry. "We were going to go clothes shopping, but I don't want to go without Kass." she said in reply to Mia's question. "Now I don't know what we're going to do." She looked at Keegan and smirked, trying to put on her best face. "We could go peek some fights." It had been a surprisingly long time since she had battled someone. Well, okay, maybe like a day, but to a Pokemon trainer, that was forever!

He let out a soft whistle when they landed in the quaint Sandgem Town. There was nothing in particular that really set this town apart aside from Rowan's expansive Pokemon Lab. The ocean was near the south side of the small town, and he could see the grass give way to sand not too far from where he stood. When Kas ran off to the lab, Kilik followed, overhearing a few passersby mention a 'break out' at Rowan's lab. A break out? Like prison? Treecko held on tight, looking ahead for anything in particular, such as strange Pokemon or even a familiar face. They reached the door and she let out a sigh. Whenever Master was running, something bad always seemed to happen.
Kilik put his hand on the knob and turned, swinging the heavy lab door open and stepping inside. It was large, much bigger than Professor Elm's lab. He was very impressed at the size of the lab, and looked down a few hallways to see more of those birds that had hair like his. Staravia, they were called. There was a large Pokemon that looked like the evolved form, and a small Pokemon he assumed was the prevolved form of Staravia. "Man, look at this place..." he put his hands on his hips and looked all around. Aside from those three birds, there were no other Pokemon in sight. No Piplup, Turtwig, Chimchar or even the dopey looking Bidoof. His heart sank. "Don't tell me Rowan already gave away all the Pokemon!" he groaned, putting his hands on his head. "If that's the case, then we came here for nothing! I'd just go back to Hoenn!" He crossed his arms.
Treecko sighed. Her master sure was such a whiner sometimes. "Then again, maybe they're part of the Pokemon break out those people mentioned..." he put a hand on his chin and tapped his lower lip. "Speaking of the Pokemon and the Professor...where is he?"

Kya and Sam lay flat in the grass, hiding. They were right back where they started, only with a few minor scrapes added on. The enraged Miltank had left them alone finally, so now Kya and Sam were creeping towards Ecruteak. They wanted to avoid a battle, they weren't in the mood. Kya crawled forward, and Sam attempted to follow.
"Careful...There are prickly bushes around here."
"Gotcha, I'll avoid tho- OUCH! God...dangit." Sam examined her palm, which had a large sticker in it. She pulled it out, wincing with the pain. "Maybe we should risk a battle...These bushes are a little dangerous." She smeared the tiny pinpricks of blood that had welled up. Kya frowned.
"We could be set back even farther...We have made no progress today, and I would rather reach Ecruteak covered in those stickers then spend the night on this Route engaged in another battle." Sam sighed.
"You're right...Maybe I could send Devlin up into the sky, he could warn us about upcoming trainers?"
"He's just a baby, I know Aiden wouldn't be able to handle that." Sam rolled her eyes.
"I guess you're right....Well let's just be careful. I'm not too hot on the idea of having sharp objects in my skin. That's just creepy." Kya nodded, then started to crawl again. "You know, what's to say a Trainer won't see us from above? They have a better vantage point. They could see the grass moving or-"
"Look Sam, I'm not getting up. This is the path of least resistance. If you want to go on ahead without me, be my guest." Sam snorted.
"No way, I don't want to go it alone, that would be even worse. I'm just freaked out about the thorns." Kya's eyes softened.
"Yeah...Me too." Kya grimaced. She crawled forward some more. "You know, if need be, we could always distract a trainer away from a potential battle. I could send out Gina or something, a Sinnoh pokemon would be a pretty good distraction here in Johto."
"How did you get Gina? If she's a Sinnoh pokemon..." Sam trailed off.
"My uncle sent her to me. He's a researcher in Sinnoh, working out of Canalave City. He was hoping I would be on the first boat to Sinnoh, so he could see how much Gina had grown. But I wasn't really able to get to Lilycove. It would've been easier if I had attended the Breeder's Gala."
"Ugh..."
"What?"
"Nothin, I was there, wasn't bad at first, I met some cool people, but too much drama. I was even accused of stealing a Pokemon egg, got arrested in my hometown."
"Oh my goodness! Seriously? That's terrible! Is that why you left Cianwood?"
"No, not really, I just wanted to continue on my journey. It was nice to stop by my house."
"Yeah, that's why I'm heading to Goldenrod."
"Oh that's right...Didn't explain this all to you before?"
"Um some of it probably, honestly I can't remember." Sam laughed.
"Not sure whether I should be insulted or not."
=================
"What's your name anyhow?" Eztli and the boy had been walking for a long time, having gone through the fence maze already and now proceeding along a bridge on the water. Eztli had grudgingly let the boy follow her and question her. He had quickly learned that if Eztli didn't want to answer his questions, she wouldn't. Eztli thought it was now her turn to ask a question.
"Scott."
"That's it? Where are you from?"
"Celadon."
"How is it I am talking more then you? What happened to the non-stop questioning? Okay, pray tell, how did you manage to get to Fuschia without pokemon?" Scott watched his feet.
"I snuck out in the middle of the night. Then I stole my sister's bike, and biked down Cycling Road. Almost got caught by some triathelete, but sped past him. Once I got to Fuschia though, I figured I was far enough away to start looking for help."
"Why sneak out?"
"My parents didn't want me to become a trainer. I don't know of any children whose parents won't let them become trainers. It's stupid." Eztli was silent. She had to admit, she didn't know of any parents who didn't allow their children to become a Trainer. "Are we at Vermillion yet?" Eztli shook her head. Shouldn't it be obvious? There were no buildings near by.
"We still have to pass through another Route. We turn left right up there." She pointed, inwardly sighing with relief. The Snorlax had not returned. She turned left and proceeded down the grassy route. Scott followed along behind her, trying not to whine. He was exhausted after staying up all night biking and walking. His feet ached. He hadn't realized traveling would be painful. He sat down on a rock off the path. Eztli kept on walking, then she finally turned around and looked back. "I'd be careful....Pokemon can pop out of the grass..." she said quietly. Scott ignored her. He sat, and chugged a water he had taken out of his tiny backpack. Eztli rolled her eyes. She turned around and kept walking. She suddenly heard a small yelp. She turned back around and noted with little surprise that a Drowzee was standing in front of Scott, a psychic aura surrounding it. Eztli looked at Scott, then reached for Xipil's pokeball. She stopped. Zolin needed practice, and she wanted to make sure she still had a strong pokemon in case she ran into another pokemon. She grabbed Zolin's pokeball instead, and pressed the button, releasing the Cubone. "Zolin, use Bone Club."
