"Uh, yeah. Why not?" Tyler replied to the stranger. "Oh, by the way, I'm Tyler Page". Tank came in from behind and nudged his Trainer in the back of his leg. "And this is Tank, my Nidoran," he added, pointing to the impatiently hungry Pokemon beside him. "Patience, buddy". Tank didn't seem satisfied with this answer and kept nudging at his leg. "Well...okay, here. Let me get something for you". Tyler set his backpack on the table and fished through it for one of the packs of Pokemon food. He pulled one out and opened it, setting it down for Tank to eat.

"Ha, he's also sort of a big eater," he quipped.

Jordan was taking his time enjoying being out in the open areas again. The fresh air, the sun dipping below the tree line, the fact that they weren't stuck in a cave anymore. He just wanted to soak it all in. Some people didn't share his view though. Red, Stick, Tyler and Fary had all headed into the city. He didn't spot Simon and Blondie but Rochelle was a little bit ahead of the pack. Might as well like catch up with her, I guess. See how she's doing. She was like away and stuff there.

Jordan hustled a little bit and caught up to the bandanna'd babe. "Hey, so like Rochelle," he started, surfer inflictions heavy. "Are you like, OK, and stuff? I mean, you were like gone for the whole day. And with those weird people and stuff. So...yeah, are you OK?"

"Honestly, Jordan... No," Rochelle answered, slowing down to match his pace. "When I found out who those Rocket thugs were, they knocked me out with Sleep Powder and stuffed me into a closet after taking almost everything I had with me. They would have taken my Pokémon and made them willing to obey Team Rocket if Tyler hadn't found me and broken me out. I don't know how I'm gonna repay him for that... and all that running burned me up. So tired. Once we get to Cerulean, I'm... I'm..."

She stumbled, tripping over her own feet, and only avoided falling by catching Jordan's arm. She immediately let go once she had regained her footing, and added, "Darn. Sorry, um... just exhausted is all. Almost fell asleep in the grass back there. But yeah. Tomorrow I'm gonna go find someone to report the Rocket activity to... and call my parents. They'll wanna know what happened." Rochelle had no idea how her parents would react to the news of her being captured by Team Rocket; her father would probably flip out, maybe even come to Cerulean via the Goldrenrod-to-Saffron Magnet Train to make sure she was alright.

Jordan was a little unprepared when Rochelle grabbed at his arm. He stumbled slightly but years of surfing had given him very good balance and he stayed up. Rochelle sounded as tired as she claimed.

"Well, we're like almost in the city. Look," they had come up to the main bridge that led into the city. "Man, seeing all this water makes me kinda miss the beach. I haven't hit it in like, a week. It sucks. But yeah, probably not as bad as being like captured, and stuff." It didn't take long to cross the bridge, and the red roof of the Pokemon Center was quite visible. "Here, I'll help you like, get to the Center there. Then you can sleep and stuff."

"Thanks... much appreciated," Rochelle answered quietly as the two of them entered the city and made their way to the Pokémon Center. The doors swished open automatically as they entered; Rochelle immediately spotted Tyler and Aeris talking with a couple of people she didn't know. Perhaps introductions would be made later on. Right now, though, proper sleep was her concern more than anything else.

"I'll, um, catch you all later, Jordan," she said, giving him a small wave as she headed for the accommodation wing. Once out of the main hall of the Center, she made straight for the beds, unceremoniously dumped her pack under one and ducked under the covers without bothering to properly prepare. The considerable warmth of the sheets helped lull her to sleep, which she accepted without a second thought.

"Oh sorry, name's Alan." He motioned to the pokemon that were busy eating at that moment.

"And those two are Croc and Spike. I'll let you figure out which is which." he said with a laugh. "So I'm guessing you're here for the gym battle Tyler?" He guessed.

"I'm mostly thinking how I'll be able to battle near a pool..." Aeris couldn't stop thinking about that it was over for her, but she tried pushing those thoughts away. "Ekans can probably swim, so he'd be alright, and Tristan can fly. Just so long as his wings don't get wet, he should be able to fight properly." She kept eating her macaroni and cheese. It tasted rather good.

She saw Rochelle and Jordan walk into the Center, and waved to them. Rochelle seemed to make her way to the back of the Center. For what, Aeris was a little unsure on, but didn't think much about it. Everyone was alright now, and there were new people to talk to and make friends with.

Blaze had walked back over to Aeris, glad to see that her Trainer was feeling better. She knew she wouldn't be battling in this gym, and frankly, she wouldn't have wanted to anyway. A water gym wasn't a place for a fire Pokemon.

Aeris reached for one of her Pokeballs, the one containing Tristan, and let her Butterfree out of his ball. He flew around, seeing the new place they were in, and flew over to Spike the Beedrill. "Free?" he said, simply wondering how this Beedrill would act around him.

As Rochelle headed into the back to catch some shuteye, Jordan caught Red waving at him. There were a couple other people there, who he didn't quite recognize. He stopped at the desk, talking to the Nurse Joy that was on duty.

"Hey, um, can you like, heal my two bros?" He held out Spike and Vicky's Pokeballs and handed them to the Nurse.

"Of course," Joy replied. "Shouldn't take too long. I'll call you when they're ready."

"Killer." Joy headed into the back room to begin the healing process. With nothing better to do, Jordan headed over to the growing crowd.

"Hey bros," he offered. Then he spotted the food. "Aw, what? Mac n' cheese? Where? Dude, I could totally eat like a tray of that!"

"You bet," Tyler replied to Alan. "I have a Pikachu and an Abra as well, so I have a fighting chance against Misty. But she's way more experienced than I am, so there's that". He shrugged. "In any case it'll be an interesting fight". With Tank occupied on his Pokemon food, Tyler decided it was a good enough time to get some of his own. "So, are you taking on Misty too?" he asked as he headed towards the buffet.

"Nice to meet you Tyler," Eileen replied, taking one last bite of salad before pushing the plate away from her. She watched Aeris wave at two people who had entered the Poke Center, answering the question of the blond man that had walked towards their table by pointing over to the buffet. Her attention turned to her Pokemon who had finished eating and was now looking at her expectantly. "Another member of your group I assume?" Eileen asked Aeris before adding, "I think there are platforms that Pokemon can stay on for the fight, which might be better for your Ekans. It's all up to you how you battle though. If you need help though you can come to me; I can never turn down coming up with strategies."

"Good job. You should rest for now until we're ready to battle," she told Hughes, petting him behind the ears before grabbing a wet wipe from her bag and wiping down his bowl. She heard Tyler's question as he got up to go get food, and responded, "I certainly am, and I'm pretty certain Alan will be too. The plan is to defeat the gym leader tonight once Hughes and I are nice and ready. We were going to do a few more rematches and do the battle tomorrow, but that didn't quite go as planned."

"Well kind of. Really I'm a reporter writing a column about the journey of Eileen here." He paused for a moment to thumb towards her.

"She's the daughter of a pokemon professor and so I've been something of a companion to her while I work. While I'm traveling though I'm also a trainer, once Eileen has faced them and I've written down what happened in the battle I face the gym leaders myself. Work comes first you know? So once she's fought Misty and won I'll take her on myself." Alan replied as he walked with Tyler over to the buffet and grabbed a plate. He, like Eileen, had gotten tired of mac and cheese so simply opted to make a very well dressed salad.

-------

Beedrill. (Hello) The beedrill replied after eating a bit of food. It looked somewhat quizzically at the Butterfree that hadn't said much to it. Spike at the moment wasn't going to do anything, since the Butterfree wasn't doing anything or particularly out of the ordinary that would require a response.

"Yes, that's Jordan. I think he's a surfer guy, he never stops talking about the beach, and he talks strangely." Aeris giggled a little. "Well, if I could, I would try and find out if Ekans can indeed swim. But if he won't be able to, then those platforms would come in handy. Tristan will of course come in handy. I'll have to see about what I'll do. My main concern is actually entering the gym..." She looked sad for a moment before shaking her head slightly. She finished the rest of her macaroni and cheese. "That was so good. But I think I'll stop for now." She snapped her fingers. "I had an idea, if you don't mind. Why don't we have our fire Pokemon battle before you go to fight Misty? My Blaze versus your Hughes."

Tristan flew around Spike in a curious manner. He was used to seeing aggressive Beedrills, but he figured this one belonged to a trainer, since Spike hadn't attacked him yet. "Free. Butterfree." He poked Spike's 'nose' and giggled, smiling towards Spike. As much of a smile as a Butterfree can show.

Jordan didn't have to hear twice about the location of free food. He zipped over to the buffet as quick as a Diglett to scoop up some mac. "Whoa, I should probably like, let Vince bro out for some snackage." He reached for the remaining Pokeball in his pocket and released his original Pokemon.

"Scyther! Scytherscy! Scyther!" What the hell? What took so long? I was in there forever!

"What bro? You hungry? There's like food right here. Go for it, bro," Jordan told his Pokemon as he grabbed more mac.

Vince perused the offerings. "Scyscyther." Lame, it's already been taken care of. Vince stabbed a nearby apple with one of its scythes and took a bite out of it. "Scyyyyyyy." At least this is good. Vince then took its fruit over towards where the other Pokemon had gathered.

"Well that's good. Bro got something," Jordan finished loading up his plate before heading over for a drink.

Eileen laughed a little at Aeris' suggestion, shaking her head and replying, "Normally I would take you up on that offer since I rarely ever turn a battle down. However I won't for two reasons; one being that I don't want to over-exert Hughes at all before the battle just in case anything bad should happen, and two because I'm a very competitive person. That isn't really an issue as of now, but I have this idea in my head that your group could benefit having Alan and I join it. If that were to happen I'd rather there not be any issues that might stem from my inner need to be the best due to difficult upbringing."

"Anyways though, enough about that. So, sorry but I'll have to decline your offer. If you want to watch Hughes battle though you can always come and watch once we head out. The invitation goes out to everyone in your group," Eileen told the few others from the group who were within earshot. She figured that Hughes would be ready soon enough to battle, and she was starting to feel pre-battle jitters. 'The sooner this is done the sooner I can relax,' she thought, taking another sip of water.

Terinth emerged from Mt. Moon almost bathing in the light. She was glad to have escaped the dank caves, with the darkness surrounding her, to have entered the bright outside. She felt the cool air around her, with a light breeze blowing her hair and the soft ground replacing the hard rock she'd been running around on with the rest of the group. She almost dove headfirst into the grass, clearly happy to be outside and not stuck inside of the caves. As she layed in the grass, her pokemon let themselves out to enjoy the outdoors. As she lay down, she realized how tired she was from the running events in the mountain, and soon found herself drifting into the land of dreams.

-----------------------------

As Terinth woke up, she looked around and saw her two pokemon lying next to her. Monk had been sleeping, but Lillipup hadn't, as usual. She rounded up her equipment and her pokemon, and they finally headed into Cerulean. She put her pokemon into their pokeballs and brought them to the front counter, giving them to the Nurse Joy. She could smell some food, and made a bee line for the mess hall. There was some Macaroni and Cheese sitting on the buffet, so she grabbed a plate and dumped it on. She looked around and saw most of the group, and saw them sitting with two people she didn't recognize. As she walked over, she heard one of the new people announce an invitation for them to watch her battle later. She tentatively approached and turned to Aeris and asked, "Hey Aeris, who are these two?"

Alan sat down in time to hear the question posed to him. He stabbed some salad onto his fork before replying.

"I'm Alan and she's Eileen." he said while pointing at each of them as he said their names.

"Aeris here came up to Eileen and talked to her. Since then we've mostly been talking about the gym here and what it is we do."

---------------------

Drill, Bee. Spike replied before returning the poke to the nose. It knew how to apply enough pressure to be felt without causing any damage whatsoever. He got the feeling this Butterfree would fit in well with Croc and himself if it turned out to be as playful as it seemed.

"Ah, of course. How silly of me. Then maybe after we've both battled Misty, if I can manage to battle her without crying my eyes out of fear?" Aeris giggled at the thought for a second, then stopped because this was a very big step for her. She'd be fighting against a type of Pokemon she feared, in a field that wasn't what she wanted. But somehow, she had to tough up in order to continue. How, she didn't know. But somehow, she would. Maybe. She turned to Terinth. "As he said. Alan and Eileen. At least Eileen here is going to fight Misty tonight. I suppose we will be fighting her ourselves tomorrow. Or, most of us, if I don't manage to get over my fear long enough to fight her..."

Tristan flew around, up and down, before sitting down on the floor, putting his wings together to rest them. Blaze walked over to them and looked curiously at Croc. He was smaller than she was, and didn't look particularly threatening. She poked his nose gently with one claw, like Tristan had done to Spike earlier with his hand.

"Who's Misty?" Jordan asked as he brought his full plate over to the others. "Is she like, the lunchlady, or something?" He was answered with a smack upside the head. "Ow, dude!"

"Misty's the gym leader here," said Fary as she reappeared the Pokemon Center. "And she's really tough. I was there for a battle. She wiped me clean out. Rogue couldn't even cope. So now I have to heal them and just get some sleep. That was not the ending to the day I was looking for." She departed for the counter to leave her Pokemon with the nurse before heading in the back for some shuteye.

Jordan was still rubbing his head. Food eased the pain though. "That was totally uncalled for. I think she's like, angry at me. Um, well if Misty's like the Gym Leader and stuff, you mind if I like, tag along. See how things go in there?"

[hr]

Vince was still a little miffed at being left out of the fun in the mountain, so he wasn't up for hanging with Jordan at the moment, so the young Scyther decided to go where the other Pokemon were.

Having had no real contact with other Pokemon other than attacking them, Vince was unsure how to proceed. "Uhhhh....hi?" he said to the others in his least threatening voice. "So, uh, how was the mountain? Since I didn't get to see it?"

"We'll see Aeris. As I said I'm not fond of battling people that I might travel with in the future, that is if you will have us," Eileen replied to Aeris as she finished up the rest of her water, getting up and throwing away her plate and cup before coming to sit back down.

She then heard Jordan ask if he could tag along to the gym match in his own sort of surfer lingo, nodding her head and saying in a clear voice, "Of course you can come along, anyone in your group can. It would be nice to have someone actually come and watch other than Alan here." She knew how to deal with the 'slower' types thanks to her own experience with her mother's Slowpoke as a child; slower talking, no big words, and clear enunciation.

"Hey, and here I thought I was a good companion." Alan said with a laugh.

"No appreciation for what I'm doing for you." he continued the joke.

---------------------

Croc followed Spike's example and poked the Charmeleon's nose. He resisted the urge to bite the hand then run away, figuring his owner would want him to wait a bit before doing that. Spike on the other had remained on the ground to eat as the Butterfree flew around him. He had encountered the type that would do that before and he was actually very hungry at the moment, so he figured the other pokemon wouldn't mind.
