He put a hand on her shoulder and said "I didn't see them either, so don't feel bad." He smiled at her.

"You had nothing to apologise for," replied Shiranui, "You simply didn't see us."

"That's right." he said, smiling.

At last, Brobasaur fell to his face, exhausted. He had fought several Pidgey, Rattata, Sentrets, and other miscellaneous bird and rodent pokemon for about an hour now. Jason had tried to stop Brobasaur, but he did not want to interrupt his fighting. Jason quickly returned Brobasaur to his pokeball, and headed towards the direction of Viridian City.
"Crimney, you sure got a lot of fight in ya little guy." Jason said to the pokeball. "Can't wait to take you to beauty contests, I'm sure your grace will win over the judges."

"Still..." Alexa insisted. But she gave it up and couldn't wait to continue traveling.

"Don't worry, we're all friends here." he said, putting an arm around her to comfort her.

Henry and his Bulbasaur had done fair share of walking and fighting already. Bulbasaur wasn't very brave and often wanted attention rather then to fight, so Henry said that each fight it won would mean more time out of the pokeball, something that seemed to motivate. Bulbasaur wasn't really happy about close contact so often a match ended with just leech seeding and absorbing from a safe distance, slowly draining what ever they ended up fighting for hp.

However on his way to Viridian City he had seen other trainers and one stuck out or rather the pokemon stuck out. The mans Bulbasaur seemed more like a wild-beast the a pokemon, so Henry had made a mental not to stay as far away from that thing as he could. He didn't want Bulbasaur to be the next victim of that monster.

As he was about to leave route 1 he noticed something in the corner of his eye, a tiny flash of red and yellow. He went over to where he had seen it and was meet by getting silk spun all over his face. He quickly got it away from his face and saw what it was. Deep inside the bush a small Spinarak was hidding and clearly not happy to see Henry. Henry tried to just throw a pokeball at it in the hopes he didn't have to hurt the thing, but Spinarak was having non of it. Henry turned his gaze to Bulbasaur and told it to do the normal combo. Soon the spider was down for the taking and joined Henry's team.

"Ready to start traveling again?" Alexa asked Chuck. She didn't like taking charge, being a trainer was a huge step. Suddenly, she started to worry about leading her team. What if... I can't train them enough? she thought worriedly.

"We hope to sed you again!" Nurse Joy said, with a bow of her head.
"Thanks..." Jason said, somewhat unsettled by her last comment. "What a terrible thing to say at a hospital..." He added under his breath as he left. As he was in the city, he tossed Brobasaur out of his pokeball and knelt down.
"Okay buddy, tone down the psychopath notch, Mkay? We're in the city right now, so no attacking other pokemon."
"Saur..." Brobasaur looked a little disappointed, but showed that he would follow Jason's commands.
"Alright, all we have to do is get to Route two and through Viridian forest, then we can get to our first gym, okay buddy?"
Brobasaur grinned and replied with a deep "Saur..." eager to fight at the gym.
"Ok, lets roll out."
"Bulba!"
Ooc: Who controls the gym leaders? Just wanted to know who did or if we control then ourselves.

"well, Now we need to get through the Virdian Forest." Liam stated. "Everyone want to travel together?"

"I'm for it," answered Shiranui, letting Titania out, "Safety in numbers."

"Well we should probably head out soon." Liam stated.

Alexa looked at Liam and said, "Right." She recalled Lindo and got ready to travel.

"Sounds good to me." Chuck said, getting his Pokemon back.

"Whoever wants to lead, go ahead," she stated, tapping her foot on some short grass in the town.

"Liam, do you want to lead the way?" asked Shiranui.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to stay by you." Chuck said to Alexa.

"Honestly, me too." Alexa said, kind of embarrassed.

He smiled at her and held out his hand.

Alexa smiled back and grabbed his hand.
