Our bold heroine Lina and company make their way through the perils of Route 19...
Patrat: Rawr!
Susano: -oneshots it with Water Gun-
...And are about to make it to Floccesy Town when...
???: YOU THERE!
A wild-looking man jumps from a cliff straight down in front of Lina.
Lina: GAACK!
Man: GREETINGS! Hmmm... I don't think I've seen YOU before...
He starts oogling and sniffing Lina from various angles.
Lina: ...Please, could you stop being a creeper?
Man: Ah, but I am no "Creeper!" I am Alder! And your name, miss?
Lina: ...It's Lina. From Aspertia City.
Alder: Oh, so you are Lina of Aspertia City!
Lina: ...I just said that. >_>
Alder: Hmmm... But you seem like a very fresh Trainer with just a Purrloin and Oshawott... Follow me!
Susano: Oooh, Alder? Isn't he Champion? Or did he get replaced by-
Felis: You don't have to tell us every detail, runt.
Gino: Thanks, Felis, I was about to warn him about spoilers, nyan.
Floccesy Town
Lina then follows Alder, but stalls by looking around Flocceesy Town first, where she nets a Potion and X Speed, and has a freakky encounter with a Breeder where he projects a flashback opf some green-hired guy in her mind.
Felis: ...Let us never mention that again.
Finally, she comes across Alder.
Alder: HELLO! Now we can start train-
...
WHY DO YOU HAVE TWO TOWN MAPS?!
Lina: I'm trying to deliver one to a friend...
Alder: The young man with the Snivy you mean?
...My child! That is a PERFECT training exercise for you! Go to Route 20 and Floccesy Ranch, find him there!
Lina: OK...
She heads off.
Route 20
Lina looks around this route a bit, swatting aside some Youngsters and their Patrats and a girl's Purrloin.
Lass: My Purloin is the adorablest!
Susano: -oneshots it with Water Gun-
Lass: ...Still the adorablest!
Lina attempts to move further into the route, only to be blocked off by a hiker.
Hiker: Woah! It's too dangerous to go past this point without a Badge!
Lina: Oh, fine...
She then heads for Floccesy Ranch.
