With his Ralts on his back, looking over his shoulder, and his Piplup following him Mike was on his way to professor Shinas house as he suddenly notices some loud noises. He quickly takes his Piplup in his hand and clims up a nearby tree to see where the noises came from. As he spottes the source of the noises he sees a ralativly big group of people, all around his age, and remembers that professor Shina told him that he wouldnt be the only one to get a pokemon from her today. He decides to go to them and then get his pokemon together with them because he dosnt like being alone with professor Shina. He would be to nervous. So now that he decided to go over to the group he quickly jumps from tree to tree and then waits in a nearby tree observing the group and waiting for the right moment to come in. One thing he forgot about tho is that he was mostly visible to the people on the ground.
