Route 30

After making sure my Pokémon were rested, I continued forward, knowing that Violet City was still quite a far distance away. There was a lot of terrain to cover between here and there, and I didn't need to waste any time. Moving forward, this Route was way more wild then 29, and the verdant tall grass stretched on for quite a while. Wild Pokémon would be probably hiding easily, and I would need to be vigilant for them.

Thankfully, I was able to travel at least half of the route unmolested, as most of the wild Pokémon were either easily distracted or just didn't care for me and mine. I was thankful to be honest, as the last battle had somewhat shaken my confidence.

As I came through a small field of grass, I spotted a nearby home with a gentleman standing outside of it, a rake in his hand as he worked on a small garden. Waving me over, I tilted my head in contemplation, wondering if I should bother going towards him. He didn't look like a trainer, so a battle was out of the question.
