I step lightly onto Route 3, the road that leads north becomes a dirt path soon after the gate-station.
???: -From behind me- <Excuse me sir!>
I turn to face the Pidove that addressed me.
Me: Hello, what are you doing out here?
Pidove: -Drawing out a sheet of paper- <Hello Pentigan. I am a member of the Booster Academy of Flight Arts. On request of headmistress Booster I have been sent to accompany you on your adventure.>
Me: Really?
Pidove: <Yes> -Goes back to the sheet- <Headmistress Booster regrets that she cannot personally accompany you on this adventure. Therefore she has sent me to take her place.>
Me: Okay. Do you have a name.
Pidove: -Still reading- <It is by request of Headmistress Booster that until such time as she is able to rejoin you I shall be using her name.>
Me: Right...
Pidove Booster: <It is at this point it is advisable to properly catch me.>
Me: Oh, yes. -Casually catches the Pidove then lets her out again-
Pidove Booster: <I shall not dissapoint sir.>
Me: Fine. -Recalls Pidove Booster and heads to the Pokemon Day Care on the hill-
Day Care Lady: Hello young trainer. Here to deposit one of your pokemon?
Me: Nah, just checking in. -Oakley is on my shoulder-
Oakley: <Yeah right. Not once in 10 years have you ever left a pokemon at a Day Care.>
Day Care Lady: How old is your Snivy young man?
Me: At least 10 years old.
Day Care Lady: -Looking closely at Oakley- He is far too young to be ten years old.
Me: If it's because he's still a Snivy then-
Day Care Lady: No, it's the eyes. The eyes always age no matter what evolution the pokemon is in. His eyes are those of a youngling, two months old perhaps?
Me: What
Outside...
Oakley: <I can't be that young! I mean, I remember every moment of those ten years.>
Me: So do I Oakley.
Oakley: <Then why does she think I'm that young?>
Me: I don't know, let's just continue onto the next town.
We do that. As we near the gates I spot the same two Plazmorons from the Dream Yard.
Plazmoron Phil: -On a phone- Yeah boss, we got the pokemon you wanted. -Scratches head- Where are we supposed to find that? -Sudden realisation- Oh, Wellspring Cave. Okay, thanks boss. Come on Lennette. -Heads off towards Wellspring Cave-
Plazmoron Lennette follows.
Me: Darnit, just when I thought I could get to Nacrene without any trouble... -Heads towards Wellspring Cave-
