"OK!! Lead the way then Lena! Wait can i stay outside the pokeball please! I don't wanna be in there!" Chikorita said giving me puppy dog eyes.
"What No way I would do that! You're defiantly staying out of there! Now This way!" I shouted as i walked through the area. We avoided going to the grass, but there was an area covered in grass and i recognized it.
"We're going to have to go this way," I pointed towards the right, "It there's an item that way." I explained and he nodded his head. We walked towards the direction I said, fought a Rattata and finally made it to an area with no tall grass to see an Item hidden in the ground. I picked it up, "It's a potion!" I told him and just put it in my pocket along with the other potion that Elm's assistant gave me, since I had no bag with me to carry any of the items i had.
"Ok now to town right?" he asked looking up at me.
"Yeah to town." I told him as we walked, luckily no Pokemon attacked while we got to another area of grass that wasn't high. We saw a guy standing there so we went up to him, asking where was town, he pointed towards the direction that i was heading towards. I smiled at Chikorita, knowing that he knew that I knew the way in the world.
That wasn't the only thing the guy told us though. "I wanted to take a break, so I saved to record my progress." We both looked at the guy confused, then i remembered and whispered to Chikorita
"He says that in the game. You know in my world." and Chikorita understood. We walked away saying good bye, looking at the building the guy was in front of. We didn't go in since there was nothing there we needed.
Of course while walking we saw even more tall grass. We walked through it a HootHoot came and left. We walked up to a ledge and then went south of it, into more tall grass. and then there was an opening in the ledge to climb so we climbed it up to find a bush and a guy with black hair and brown overalls standing there. So first we walked over to him.
" Why are you up here?" I asked he replied, "I'm waiting for Pokemon that appear only in the morning." Then i realized it was 1pm. So after talking to him we went to the bush and checked it out. It had berry! so we picked it up, then i gave it to Chikorita to hold.
We jumped down the ledge, then another ledge and started walking seeing a town up ahead.
"Look there's a town!" i told Chikorita then we hurried running towards it, then we bumped into an old man who decided to show us around, though i already knew the place. After we decided to go to the Pokemon center to get Chikorita healed so he could battle later. I waited in the waiting room of the Pokemon center, not sure of what to do, then a nurse, came up to me.
"Excuses me are you Lena by a chance?" she asked me in a polite tone.
"Yeah, the one and only, why?" i asked
"Well we have a phone call for you, it's from Professor Elm from New Bark Town. Please come this way." she said leading towards some phones, with screens on it. One had an image of Elm. So I walked to it answering the call.
"Yo Elm!" I told him, he was busy talking to an assistant until he heard me confused then turned.
"Oh Lena! So you finally got to Cherrygrove City. That's good, Is Chikorita alright?" he asked smiling.
"Yeah he's fine, just in case i brought him here to heal after all the battles and stuff. So why exactly are you calling?" I asked curious.
"Well someone just came and stole a Pokemon, could you return and come talk to the police here and see if you can help us out to find the culprit. Also I would like to talk to you about something. So please do come back." he asked kindly.
I smiled and nodded my head in response. "Sure no problem! I'll be there soon alright!" i reassure him then hung up.
"Excuses me, but you Chikorita is completely healed, here he is. We hope to see you again." the nurse told me then walked away behind her was Chikorita.
"Guess what Chikorita! We gotta go all the way back to New Bark Town! I know it sucks and all but we gotta go help out with something. " I told him
"It's alright, but to the Market first!" he said smiling his leaf on his head moved with joy.
"alright lets go!" i said as we walked out of the Pokemon center, luckily we didn't have to go far, the store was right next door. We walked in there was only a couple of people there. The shelves were filled with supplies. I walked straight up to the merchant.
"Welcome! How may I help you?" He asked.
"Hi I'd like to buy a back pack preferably black.... i guess a potion or two... and a pokeball" I told the merchant.
"It seems like your new here... so it'll only be $810!" He told me smiling while my jaw dropped in shock. I looked through my pockets to only find $10 i only had.
"No way that much!" I told him, i couldn't believe how expensive things were here! During this a guy about my age, not the age i looked like had came in, he was wearing a brown baseball cap, backwards and it had a yellow line in the middle. He wore a red jacket with black shorts. He wasn't pale or tan, kinda in the middle, his black hair showed under his hat and popped out of it too. He had grey eyes, and wore a grey only one sided backpack on him, kinda like the one i wanted that was in black. Apparently he was watching my situation and had just came in watching me ask for items.
