Shiranui was looking around at various wild Pokémon battles taking place. Fushigi called out when he spotted something. "Fushigi, what did you see?" he asked before looking over at a Ralts that showed up. He opened his Pokédex and scanned the newcomer. "Ralts, the Feeling Pokémon. It is highly attuned to the emotions of people and Pokémon. It hides if it senses hostility." Shiranui noticed from the Pokédex that it was a Psychic-type with the Synchronise ability. He felt a sensation in his mind and noticed a glow coming from under Ralts' hair where he deduced the eyes were. Ralts was reading Shiranui's mind and saw various images of Ecruteak City including a memory of Ho-oh taking off from the Bell Tower.

"I like you," Shiranui heard in his mind. He saw Ralts run up and touch one of his Poké Balls, letting itself get captured. "That was a little weird," he commented, earning a nod of agreement from Fushigi. On his Pokédex, he saw the Ralts was female and decided to name her Titania.

"You're getting better." Chuck said, watching her battle.

Liam looked around, trying to find what he felt would be a good capture. a Mankey dropped down from a branch.
:"Mankey ,the Pig Monkey Pokemon. It lives in treetop colonies. If one becomes enraged, the whole colony rampages for no reason If it gets too violently enraged it cannot distinguish friends from foes."
Liam sent Hydro against it Hydro used bubble while the Mankey used scratch. Hydro used Water Pulse and confused the Mankey. It hit itself in confusion. Liam threw a pokeball and caught it. Liam's pokedex sated Mankey was a boy.

Shiranui rejoined Liam soon after the latter caught Mankey.

"Am I saying 'Thanks' too much these days? Oh well, I'll say it again; thanks for your praise!" Alexa stated, "You're doing well too, Chuck." Alexa let Lindo out of her Pokeball. Oh no! I forgot about the Pokedex! Alexa thought, worriedly. She pointed the Pokedex at Lindo, and it told her "Sentret, the scout Pokemon. It stands on its tail so it can see a long way. If it spots an enemy, it cries loudly to warn its kind." She put the Pokedex away.

"Well, looks like the kids don't have high enough perception to see us, huh?"
"Saur! Saur!"
"Alright, alright. Fight them later, but for now just stick to the wild pokemon, okay?" Jason said turning around and pointing towards the grass away from the other trainers. "Get some more experience under your belt."
"Bulba..." Brobasaur looked at the other trainers, with a little flare in his eyes, but followed Jason's orders none the less.

"Alright Lindo, you're not that strong, so let's get your skill up." Alexa ordered, walking into the tall grass. A Pidgey pecked Alexa's hand, ignoring Lindo. Lindo raked it's claws on the Pidgey, knocking it out. Many other battles went like this, but Lindo always won. "Good girl!" Alexa praised, "Now for you, Kawaii!"

Shiranui got into several battles and from them, both his Pokémon had learned a few attacks.

He chuckled and said "You're cute and funny, I'm glad we're travelling together." He battled a few more Pokémon, but his Pokémon were starting to get tired. "I think we should stop by Viridian City to rest, and wait for the others."

"Agreed. I don't think it would help our Pokemon's happiness if they fainted." Alexa said, smiling. She pet Kawaii and Lindo, waiting to follow Chuck.

"Right." he said. He lead the way North to Viridian City, battling along the way.

(North... Was that meant to be a pun?)

Alexa followed Chuck, running into a few Pokemon but beating them quite quickly. Gazing around, she saw the town was in sight. It looked very opening to travelers like herself.

The air brushed on his skin as he was speeding through the skies. The dragon let out a soft cry as it headed towards the ground and soon after landed, clouds of dust was sent of in all directions. Henry stepped of and smiled "Thank you Salamence, go home to dad now" he gave the dragon a few strokes with his hand and then it flew of, the last thing to be seen was the red wings against the blue skies. He had never been the type to waist time so he walked into the professors lab and before long he was out of there with his first pokemon.

He walked a few meters away from the the lab he threw the ball into the air and let his Bulbasaur out of the ball. It seemed to be quite afraid of everything that it saw and all the new people around it. Going down on his knee Henry picked up the Bulbasaur and held it in his arms "So, hey there little fellow" he felt Bulbasaur squirm a bit, but he didn't let it go. "Just relax, I wont hurt you" and after that it somewhat calmed down. He went on to talk to Bulbasaur until it started to nuzzle against his chest, he placed it down on the ground and then asked the question "So are you ready to go out into the world ?" and the answer given was that Bulbasaur tilted it's head and smiled.

Soon enough Viridian City came into view. Liam was happy that the town was within view. A blue bird flew down and attacked him.

"Tailow, the Tiny Swallow Pokemon.It has a gutsy spirit that makes it bravely take on tough foes. It flies in search of warm climates, flying over 180 miles a day. "

Liam called on Mankey who used scratch. The Tailow began to peck Mankey. Mankey used Seismic Toss and slammed the small bird to the ground. Tailow used gust. Liam tossed a Pokeball and caught the Tailow.

Shiranui was eager to get to a Pokémon Centre to heal his two Pokémon.

As he entered the Pokemon Center, Liam commented that there was a gym in town. Nurse Joy stated that the gym has been closed for a long time and that the next gym is in Pewter City, just past the Virdian Forest.

Chuck and Alexa reached the city and went in the Pokemon Center, where he healed his Pokemon. He noticed Liam and Shiranui and said "When did you guys get here? I don't remember you passing us."

"We got here around an hour ago," answered Shiranui, waiting for his Pokémon to finish healing.

"We must not have seen you while training." he said.

"Sorry for my blindness..." she apologized, petting Lindo.
