To the town gates.

Rushing back to Cherrygrove, I was making a direct line for the Poke Center. Hopefully my hooded friend wasn't near the entrance to the town today. With Chikorita and the other two at such low health, I would never be able to beat him. Pushing through the tall grass until I finally found the main road, my eyes scanned for the man and unfortunately fell upon a small group of them standing nearby.

Great, a group of them.

Keeping my eyes low, I quickly made my way onto the main road and continued going, trying to ignore their leering eyes.

"Well, look at you!" yelled one of the men, whistling as I rushed past. His friends, obviously meeting his gaze, joined in with jeers and quips about my shapely body. Their hoots and hollers were getting louder, and I found my face getting redder by the second.
