(After a long, hard travel, and a visit to Brawlfist academy, our heroes finally made it to Cherrygrove city, filled with a plesant aroma, and a bucket full of Cherries and adventures.)
"We finally made it!" Trever was quite excited, knowing we're back to civilization. "I know. It felt like years since we've been in a town. I think I need to reload our items." "Yeah, yeah. I think I'm going to find some food." As we were planning on what to do, a slim, looking stranger came up to us. "Hey, how you doing?" He was talking at a fast pace. "We're-" "That's nice. How about buying some rods?" "Huh?" He quickly opened his jacket, showing an inventory of packed rods. "Just 10 bucks, what do you say?" Trever stepped in. "Sure!" He pulled out 10 bucks, and the stranger snatched the money, threw the rod at us, and ran into Route 29. "Well. That was strange." "Who cares? I got a rod!" Then another guy came up to us. I made sure it wasn't a scam. "Hi-" "Are you going to sell us something?" "No. I'm the guide guy." "And?" "I'm here to give you a guide." "Sure!" Trever stepped in, making undecided decisions. "What are you doing?" "Come on. What can possible happen?" "Splendid! Let's get started."
We walked up to a red and white building, with a shape of a pokeball printed on the roof. "This is the pokemon center." "Cool. I read about it back in Pokebrains. It kind of like a hospital for injured pokemon, right?" "Correct. They're located all over the world." "That's cool." We went inside for a veiw of the inside. Inside, there was a main desk, some comfty couches, and a white machine. "If I'm right, that must be a PC." "That's right." Trever seemed annoyed. "Must you know everything?" "I'm just saying." We canceled our dispute, and listened to the guide. "This machine is used to switch out pokemon with others you caught." Trever raised his hand. "Yes?" "Where do the pokemon go when you've had your seventh catch?" "They go to the person who gave you your first pokemon." "Then that would be professor Elm." "Sure." We now headed over to the desk, where a young nurse was filing some paperwork. "This is Nurse Joy." "Why hello. Are you beginners?" "Yes, we are." "Well don't be shy to ask any questions." She must have not known I was shy. Trever spoke up. "I got a quest-" Then a chansey popped out from the backroom. "Chansey, Chans!" "Really?" she looked back at us. I'm sorry, but I got a bunch of hurt pokemon. There's been a lot of injuries today for some reason." "Well, you can go and we'll just come back later." "Ok. Be safe!"
We exited the pokemon center, heading down the building next to it. "I wonder why there's so many injured pokemon today?" "Calm down, Shank. I bet they just battled each other harshly." Our next stop was at a blue and white building. "This is the poke'mart. Its where you can buy stuff necessary for traveling. "That's just what I need!" We went inside, and saw that it looked like a grocery store. I saw many people buying ropes, pokeballs, and potions. "Well, we should get going." The guide led us out, but I knew I was coming back anyways.
He lead to some outside features. We saw patches of flowers, being watered by the people living here. "This is what makes our town so graceful." "The flowers?" "Yes. People come here because of the sweet aroma of these wonderful flowers." "That's cool." "Yes. It is." He led us to a giant pool of water. "Out here is an offshore island. There is somone who lives there, but he rarely comes out." "Why? Because he's afraid of people?" If that was the reason, I could see why. "No one knows the reason for why he stays there. He rarely has any visitors." "Hey." Trever needed to say something. "Does this lake have pokemon?" "Yes. Why?" "Cool! I'm going to catch some pokemon." I turned back to the guide. "I think we're done with the tour. Thanks." "No problem." He reached into his pocket, pulling out a sheet of paper. "No, thanks. We already got a map." "But I'm not giving you a map." "Huh?" I opened the paper, and found cash inside. "Wow! How much is in here?" "2000." "But why?" "Because I see your going to need a lot of help in your journey." "Well, if that's the case, then thanks." "No problem." He looked over at route 29, seeing another bunch of confused rookies waiting near route 29. "I better get going." "Ok. Bye."
I was with Trever, who was testing out his rod at the lake. I stared over at the house far away, thinking about the man who lived there. I was also thinking of the kids who had their pokemon injured. "Something tells me those kids's pokemon weren't hurt in battling each other." "Your still thinking about that? Sheesh, you should stop worrying and enjoy that your not hurt." Trever's carelessness was beginning to annoy me. "But don't you even feel a little bit of sadness for those kids?" "Not really." "Ugh. Whatever." "What? You want me to feel bad for a couple of strangers, who I've never met before?" "You know, I'm just going to go to the pokemart to stock up on our supplies." "Sure." "Then I'll go to the pokecenter and talk to those kids about what happened." "You'll know where to find me." "Ok." I made my way to the pokemart, knowing Trever wasn't going to join me.
I waited in the long line, with a bag of 5 pokeballs in one hand, and another bag filled with 3 potions. "I bet Trever already caught a bunch of water pokemon." I was next in line, ready to make my purchase. The cashier seemed quite friendly. "Ok. That'll be... 1900 pokemoney." "What?" "Hey, these are the prices, kid." "Man. I pulled out the bunch of money the guide guy gave me, and paid off my supplies. "Come again!" "Sure.." I turned to the door, but quickly crashed into a mysterious person, with a sharp hat covering their face, and a dark coat on. "Watch it, punk!" The vioce was feminine. "Sorry." She quickly left the store. "What the hack was all about?" I rushed out the store, trying to find where she went, but no trace of her was marked. I forgot about her, and paced over to the pokemon center, to get some information on the kids. When I entered, I saw a new victim, who looked like he just got beat up. "Excuse me. Can I talk to you?" The guy turned around, having a recognizable face. "Trever! What happened?" He had mareep in his arms, looking badly injured. He tried to speak, but fainted on the floor, along with Mareep. I got close to him, trying to hear what he was whispering. "Don't..Lake..Bad..." He was then out as a light. The only thing questioning in my mind was: What's happening in the lake?
