"Whoa, easy there." Roku exclaims as he's suddenly leapt at by the Drilbur, losing his balance and falling flat on his rear. Roku smiles warmly and returns his attention to nurse Joy. "Thanks miss! You're great." Excitedly he left the pokémon center again, outside, he found himself once more drawn to the gym. This time, instead of entering, he turned away. Drilbur was at a disadvantage here, and the gym leader must've been ruthless, he'd need to get stronger before he'd try taking this person on. With his confidence now a little shaken, Roku returned to route 1. Even if there wasn't a pokémon that could help him there, they'd at least help him grow stronger.
