To Mt. Moon.

Your journey must continue. With each step bringing you closer to the Elite 4 and the next step is a mountain. You gather your bag and team of Pokemon before leaving the room. You stop by the front counter to thank Nurse Joy for her help over your past few days in Pewter.

Outside of town you pass a disturbed patch of grass. The imprints of Dean’s Metagross’s feet are still visible in the ground. You move on quickly not wanting to dwell on the thought of Dean using you and Jack the day before.

You’re challenged twice on your way through the route, but you make quick work of them. The victories have you feeling on top of the world. You confidently make your way to the Pokecenter outside the entrance of Mt. Moon. Stopping at the front counter to heal up your pokemon, you ask the nurse, “Have you seen a beautiful bald woman in here today?”

“Oh, you mean Jack? She came in last night but I think she’s already left for the day.” You quickly thank the nurse before leaving to look for Jack. You take a quick glance around outside not seeing her anywhere.

You check your phone to see if she messaged you this morning. But her message from last night still sits at the end of the conversation, “Sorry A. I had to leave, I’ll explain tomorrow. Meet me outside Mt. Moon?” It clearly says outside Mt. Moon so you decide to wait in the field outside. You find a patch of tall grass with a great view of the area to train in while you wait. You send a message to Jack telling her where you are.

Just as you’re about to give up, you hear your phone ding with a new message. Excitedly you pull up the message to see what Jack has to say. The message reads John. It’s a picture of him crouched next to a Surskit. “Humphrey came through. With this little guy I should catch up to you in no time.” You smile seeing John’s smiling face being so excited over his newest bug. You can see Roger in the background with another guy you assume to be Humphrey.

“Congrats man. But you’ll need more than that to catch up to me, nothing is slowing me down. :P” You put your phone back into your bag. Where is Jack? You put a stop to your training and decide to wander around looking for her. Maybe she’s distracted by a challenge or trying to catch a cool new pokemon.

“Yo! Princess Cock Gobbler get over here.” Your skin crawls as you recognize the voice. “Come look at what I caught.” You turn to see Blue standing behind a bush.

Your gut instinct is to run away from Blue. If you ran though, you would have to quit your search for Jack in order to escape Blue’s reaches. Maybe if you cooperate Blue will forget about challenging you.
