New Bark Town is a small town that is surrounded by trees and a small lake is located on the east side of the town. There are decent diversity of pokemon that is located in this area due to the lake and the trees that grow in the area. The air is very clean in this area.
Locations:
Professor Elm's Lab: A laboratory where professor Elm works. The pokemon administration seems to donate books to Elm for his research to progress.
New Bark Harbor: A ship port in New Bark Town that is located near the ocean
The small town was beginning to crowd up with tourists and there was a cafe that open up recently.
Exits:
West: Route 29
East: Route 27
NajoYesterday at 5:31 PM
-The sun shines down and the Pidgey chirp as another morning in the world of Pokemon began. People are going about their days, coming in and out of New Bark Town. One of these people come from the entrance to Route 29, a boy with short, black and somewhat messy hair comes through and admires the town from where he stands for a moment.-
"Wooow..."
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:41 PM
The town was lively for the morning while the sun was bright. An elderly woman tended to her garden as a cleffa watched through the fence as the lady watered her berry plants.
Several pidgey perched atop the power lines overhead the lab. An Aipom was climbing up the side of the lab, trying to see the shiny object that was stuck on the roof.
A poochyena stood by its trainer outside the cafe. It lay under the outside table as its owner sipped on a cool beverage.
In front of the lab was a boy, around Hiro's age. he was staring up at a sign posted on the door of the lab.
NajoYesterday at 5:44 PM
-Now this place was much more calming than a place like Goldenrod City. He proceeds to walk through the town, seeing the residents or tourists roam around the Town or tend to their own affairs. Eventually, he can see the lab. Ahah! That's the place he's looking for! As he approaches it, he notices the boy in front of the lab, staring at the sign. He starts moving towards the boy and the door.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:47 PM
The boy was reading the sign with a frown plastered to his face. As you got closer to the door, you could read the sign.
**Professor Elm is on vacation, please go to the lab in Cherrygrove. Thanks**
All the lights were shut off and the door was latched shut. The windows were closed and latched, because of a past incident Elm never leave the windows open.
NajoYesterday at 5:52 PM
-Hiro gasps and a disappointed expression shows on his face. He really wanted to check out the lab, too. He came all the way here from Violet City because of it! But he didn't know that Cherrygrove City had a lab, too. Why didn't he see it as he was passing through? Regardless, he only came to see Professor Elm's lab. He's the head Professor of this region, after all.-
-Now he's unsure of what to do now..-
-Go to Cherrygrove's lab in pursuit of wanting to see a lab, stay in New Bark Town for a little longer, or head right back to Violet City?-
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:54 PM
The boy finally turned after noticing Hiro approach. He could see the disappointment across his face.
"I came all the way from Goldenrod only to see its closed..." He told you as he shuffled his foot into the dirt.
NajoYesterday at 5:56 PM
-Hiro wasn't sure of how to respond, but he tries to anyways.- "O-Oh... Y-You live in Goldenrod too, huh? I live there, b-but... I came here after I reached Violet City."
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:58 PM
The boy shrugged his shoulders, tilting his head."How come I've never seen you before?" His eyes lit up, the sign on the door forgotten.
"I need to get a pokemon, what about you man?"
NajoYesterday at 6:01 PM
"M-Me?" -Oh boy. He doesn't want the boy to assume he's getting a Pokemon. That means that someone with false knowledge could go around blabbing their mouth... For his own parents to find out. Jeeze, if his Parents found out he visited a Lab, they would tear him a new one. They don't want him to have anything to do with Pokemon.-
"I just w-wanna...see what a lab looks like on the inside. See the technology and stuff."
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:04 PM
The orange haired boy seemed to either not hear Hiro through all of his stuttering or just didn't care. "Nah! You gotta get a pokemon! Though, if you're just wanting to look at all the boring stuff inside I'm sure Cherrygrove has what you're looking for.
NajoYesterday at 6:07 PM
"Yeah...the boring stuff. I'm a boring guy, ahahah..." -With that, Hiro tries to squirm out of the conversation by beginning to walk away. He holds a hand up to wave towards the boy lightly as he begins to head away from the lab.-
"Have a good one."
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:09 PM
The boy disappeared from your sights out of the the town probably to go to Cherrygrove...
What were you going to do now? There wasn't much to look at in the town except houses and the new cafe that opened up recently...were you going to explore or leave?
NajoYesterday at 6:14 PM
-Well, maybe he can go check out the new cafe that opened up. Yeah, a nice little distraction before heading back to Cherrygrove City. Hiro starts to walk towards the Cafe.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:16 PM
You head to the cafe, the sign overhead said 'New Bark Cafe'. It was plan and simple but got the point across. There was a small eating area outside to the left. The previous trainer with their poochyena had long gone and left.
As you enter the cafe, it was fairly empty with only an elder couple in the back booth. There was a bored looking girl leaning up against the counter.
"Hi, welcome to our cafe, please take a seat, be right with you." The blonde girl said as she looked down at her phone from under the countertop.
NajoYesterday at 6:22 PM
"O-Okay..." -Hiro looks around him for a moment to get an idea of where to sit and then decides to sit at the nearest booth available.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:25 PM
The blonde's nametag said Mariella as you watched her dispear into the back, probably to tell the cook something.
As you sat as the nearest booth, you could clearly see the place was spotless. If you thought that they were good at cleaning, it was probably just because things didn't get used much. You were the first customer that day to have even sat at that booth.
The girl came out a few moments later with a menu and set it down on the table in front of you."What would you like to drink?"
NajoYesterday at 6:29 PM
-When he looks up at her face as she approached the table, he immediately looked right back down. Oh jeeze, she looks fairly attractive, too. That makes social interaction even more difficult for him. He checks the menu to see what drinks there are.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:32 PM
You look down at the menu to check the drinks and prices...
Fresh Water $200
Soda Pop $300
Lemonade $350
Moomoo Milk $500
Berry Juice $1500
Tea $400
NajoYesterday at 6:34 PM
-Hiro frowns. He only has 2,000 on him... Well, it'd be a rip off to buy Fresh Water when you could get water from a water fountain or something. He needs to invest in getting a stainless steel water bottle or something. He's not going to pay 1500 for berry juice, that's for sure. He might as well buy soda.-
"M-May I have the Soda Pop, please?"
-He rarely gets to have soda, anyways. Thank his parents once again.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:38 PM
The girl put something down into her phone for the order.
"Do you want something to eat or still looking?"
NajoYesterday at 6:39 PM
-Hiro checks the rest of the menu for food items.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:57 PM
You look back at the menu in front of you...
Plates -$1,000 Each
Hearty Pikachu Plate
Eevee Teriyaki Chicken Burger
Pikachu Curry
Snorelax Hamburg and Seafood Rice Slate
Pikachu's Hide and Seek Carbonara
Desert - $500 Each
Pikachu Mango Pudding With Fruit
Layered Lapras Parfait
Chocolate and Strawberry Eevee Parfait
Jigglypuff's Musical Cheesecake
Mimikyu Chocolate Banana Crepe
Pokémon Café Pancakes and Fruit
NajoYesterday at 6:59 PM
-Hiro's heart sinks. Why is everything so expensive?! He only has 2,000... His parents always made him eat at home. Is this why they wanted him to be successful so badly? Is the economy really that bad? Or is this one place just expensive?-
-He exhales heavily. Well, it wouldn't matter anyways. He'll be back in Violet City in no time. He should enjoy himself, since he never gets to do things like this. What looks good, though? He turns his head back to the girl and suddenly does something that not a lot of customers probably do: Ask for the favorite dish of the waitress.-(edited)
"W-What's your favorite dish?"(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:06 PM
The girl was feeling impatient as she shuffled from foot to foot. Why can't he just point at something? She blinked, registering his meek question.
She couldn't remember the last time she actually ate the cafe's own food...."I guess the desserts...they look nice." She scans the menu on the table, trying to look at something that might suit the fancy of her customer."Something with chocolate?"
NajoYesterday at 7:09 PM
-That would leave it between the Chocolate and Strawberry Eevee Parfait and the Mimikyu Chocolate Banana Crepe.-
"The...Mimikyu Chocolate Banana Crepe, then."
(( Sorry, I know it's real time I forgot ))
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:10 PM
Suddenly another waitress came bumbling out of the kitchen with a bucket of mop water, almost spilling it across the floor!
NajoYesterday at 7:10 PM
"S-Since you said the deserts are good, it means I should try-"
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:10 PM
The blonde haired waitress turned around sharply, snapping almost instantly."New girl, be careful!"
NajoYesterday at 7:11 PM
-And he was interrupted by the sound of the girl bumbling out of the kitchen. He gasps when she almost spills the mop water, but exhales in relief when she sees that she kept her balance.-
-That could have been bad.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:13 PM
The black haired girl bowed and apologized to her senor."Ah, I'm sorry, I over filled the bucket she said as she began mopping the floor near the tables.
The girl craned her neck to see what Hiro and the waitress were looking at on the menu."Did he order yet?"
NajoYesterday at 7:14 PM
"S-Sorry!" -He responds quickly and points to the Mimikyu Chocolate Banana Crepe.-
"I...I didn't know what to order, so I asked her what she likes..."(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:17 PM
The black haired waitress looked to where he was pointed."Oh! Mimikyu is a Pokémon who's always desired to be loved. Thanks to this crepe combination of chocolate and banana, we don't think it has to look much further. It's a good choice, I tried it the other day!"
NajoYesterday at 7:21 PM
-Hiro blinks at the sudden detail that the black-haired waitress gave to him. He didn't know what a Mimikyu was, but he definitely wants to see one after the black-haired girl explained it to him. A small smile forms on his face.-
"Thank you...! I'll...I'll have that, then."
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:24 PM
"I can take this order Mariella." The black haired girl smiled. She may have been new but she seemed more attentive then the blonde was.
"No way, you go clean that floor." She scowled, writing down the order into her phone. She began to walk back to the kitchen to get his soda and tell the chefs the order.
After being scolded, the black haired girl looked down at the ground, moping the already clean floor.
NajoYesterday at 7:26 PM
-Hiro watches Mariella walk back into the kitchen and the black haired girl continue to clean the floor, despite it not looking like it needed to be cleaned. Why is she cleaning it? Genuinely curious, he asks the black-haired girl.-
"...E-Excuse me, if...you don't mind me asking, but why are you cleaning the floor?"
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:28 PM
The girl with the mop, who's name tag read 'Chelsea' looked up from her moping, her bangs covering her eyes."I was asked to mop so I'm doing it."
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 7:28 PM
"But...it's already clean."
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:31 PM
"It's my job to clean." She finished mopping the area, putting up a wetfloor sign before pulling a towel out of her apron and a spray bottle off the bucket, beginning to clean off the tables."Busywork, you know?"
NajoYesterday at 7:32 PM
"O-Oh... Yeah..." -He got the name on her nametag before looking back down at the table. He twiddles his thumbs, unsure of what to say next. He wasn't good at conversations...or talking to girls.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:35 PM
Mariella came back with Hiro's soda after a minute, setting the fizzy soda down in front of him.
It had plenty of ice in it and it was dark in colour. What flavour could it be?
NajoYesterday at 7:36 PM
"T-Thank you." -He thanks Mariella and nods before taking the soda and sipping a little bit of it.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:40 PM
The flavour was unique, maybe different from the fizzy sodas from the vending machines back in Goldenrod?
The girl returned to her spot at the counter as she awaited your desert to be finished.
There wasn't too much to do except in the corner there was a jukebox and a clawmachine.
NajoYesterday at 7:46 PM
-Woah, this soda tasted different. It's different than the ones he rarely sneaks in at Goldenrod. It's really good. Looks like the price is justified... at least for him. He then notices the two other things there, a Jukebox and a Claw machine.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:49 PM
The jukebox was electronic, having a touch screen menu and a library full of music. It was free though! About the only thing in the cafe that didn't cost some kind of money to enjoy. There was a pikachu with a tophat design engraved in colourful print.
The claw machine was small and had one of those tiny claws instead of the big ones. Inside were pokemon dolls and mystery box presents. it only cost $50 for a chance at getting a prize.
NajoYesterday at 7:52 PM
-And the Jukebox is free! Well, now he's motivated to go to it and play some music. He hops up from his seat and moves towards the Jukebox first. Music first, prizes in a minute! Time to see what the Jukebox has in store for him.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:54 PM
You look at the menu, seeing the vast library of pop, rap, and rock, and jazz music. There were a lot of famous people you had never even heard of! Idol Effie had a large library of music as you looked at the menu.
NajoYesterday at 7:55 PM
-He wonders who the in the world 'Idol Effie' is. He shrugs and wonders to himself; what kind of music should he play?-
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:56 PM
There was a random button if you really couldn't decide.
NajoYesterday at 8:00 PM
-Ahah! He knows exactly what song to play. He starts typing down his selection before finally coming across it and selecting it.-
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrgaUY4EDLc
YouTube
Dr. Pez - VGM
Pokemon RBY - Viridian City Smooth Jazz Guitar Cover
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:02 PM
The song began to play, the smooth acoustics played through the speakers set up to the jukebox...
NajoYesterday at 8:05 PM
-Ah, perfect. The music of his native region. He misses Kanto... He wishes he could have stayed with the friends he made there, but his parents made him move with them to Johto. It's been rough, but now he's about to go to college! It's all going to work out, right? Regardless, he shakes his head to forget about that and turns his head towards the crane game. He's going to play the heck out of that thing. Hiro moves towards it.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:08 PM
As you inch closer to the crane game you could see the items inside the slide more closely...
Dolls
Azurill
Chikorita
Cyndaquil
Duskull
Gulpin
Swablu
Mudkip
Pikachu
Togepi
Wailmer
Treecko
Totodile
Poochyena
Fomantis
Mystery Boxes
Red Box
Blue Box
Green Box
Yellow Box
Purple Box
Orange Box
NajoYesterday at 8:09 PM
-Woah, look at all of those cute plushies! He could decorate his dorm room with them... Or he could win the boxes. What's inside of those? They look interesting. Actually, yes. He's going to try for the boxes! Here we go.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:10 PM
You looked at the boxes. Most of them seemed to be buried under the dolls but you could catch a corner of one of them if you angled it right. What box are you going for?
NajoYesterday at 8:11 PM
-Let's go for the yellow one, which is the color of his dessert.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:11 PM
Please insert 50 into the machine...
NajoYesterday at 8:11 PM
-Hiro inserts 50 into the machine.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:13 PM
The claw machine played a jingle as the timer began to go down. The lights inside the machine light up and you could now move the claw to where the corner, under the wailmer doll was the yellow box!
NajoYesterday at 8:13 PM
-And that's exactly what he does.-
-He's going to try and get it by the corner.-
-Since it's underneath the doll.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:14 PM
The claw lower towards the box, pushing the wailmer doll slightly but the shitty contraption gets stuck after moving the doll and you were unsuccessful as the claw raised back up.
NajoYesterday at 8:17 PM
"Aw..." -Well, he sticks another 50 in there to try again.-
-At least it moved the doll out of the way slightly.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:19 PM
You went for the yellow box again. The claw grabbing the middle of the box and began to pull it back up slowly. It almost slipped from its grasp as it carried it over to the slot that it would fall out of.
**Plop**
The claw dropped the yellow box into the slot and the lights all light up, 'WINNER!'.
NajoYesterday at 8:20 PM
-Hiro gasps and brings a hand up to his mouth. Oh my gosh, he did it! He won! He shakes around in place a little bit with excitement and leans down to reach into the slot so that he can pull out his prize.-
"Yes!" -He celebrates quietly.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:21 PM
The yellow mystery box was heavy, no wonder the claw struggled to pick it up! What could be inside?!
NajoYesterday at 8:24 PM
-Hiro's inner child is screaming with joy from the inside! Yes! YES! OPEN IT! Claim your prize! He begins to open up the Yellow Box quickly.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:25 PM
You open the box to find a few goodies tucked away inside under tissue paper...
...You found a jar of honey...
A yellow shard
An escape rope and a....Nugget!
NajoYesterday at 8:27 PM
-Hiro's jaw drops. Excuse him- WHAT? Is that what he thinks it is? He reaches inside to pull out the nugget.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:27 PM
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/50/Dream_Nugget_Sprite.png
A rare chunk of brick...it doesn't do anything but can be sold for a high price...
NajoYesterday at 8:32 PM
"Wow... Amazing..."
-He places all of the items inside of his backpack.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:32 PM
Just then your food arrived at your table!
"Enjoy your Mimikyu Chocolate Banana Crepe..." the blonde girl said quietly."Need anything else?"
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 8:35 PM
-Hiro notices that his food was brought to his table. He quickly walks back over there and plops back into the booth.- "T-Thank you! Uhm... No thanks. Thank you, again."
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:49 PM
The waitress nodded and made a sound 'mmhmm' as she set down his bill. Total was 800 and he used 100 on the claw machine, leaving him with only 1,100 money left to spend.
NajoYesterday at 8:59 PM
-He pays the bill before hand so that he can enjoy his order without having to worry about paying later.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:01 PM
The girl takes the money, glaring at there being no tip for her. She wasn't going to refill his soda for that.
There wasn't much else to do except to eat.
NajoYesterday at 9:42 PM
-He then realizes that he forgot to tip, reaching inside of his wallet. He sighs, not wanting to spend MORE money, but...he gives her a nice 500 tip, even if she wasn't all that nice.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:42 PM
You set down the money on the table. The girl must have been watching you because she came back with a refill for your soda.
NajoYesterday at 9:44 PM
"O-Oh, thank you!" -He notices that he got a refill on his soda, which is very nice of her. He's not used to refills. Two sodas, nice.-
-He hands her the tip money.- "I...I forgot to give this to you back there, I'm sorry..."
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:52 PM
The waitress took the money, putting it into her apron. "Thank you, make sure you come make again!" The blonde girl was happy that she actually got a tip. She didn't get paid much and relied on tips mostly.
"is there anything else you need sir?"
NajoYesterday at 10:07 PM
"U-Uhm..." -He looks up to the girl, thinking for a moment.- "No, that's it. Thank you very much." -Her mood looked like it elevated from the tip! Did he give a good enough amount of money? Then a thought comes to his mind. What if... What kind of other prizes are in the Claw Machine? What if he gets ANOTHER NUGGET?-(edited)
-With that, he bites into his dessert with a fork.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:12 PM
The girl left Hiro alone, probably to go back looking at her phone as the elderly couple left the cafe only leaving Hiro as the only customer.
The TV hanging from the ceiling was playing an old series about how to care for your berry plants. Nothing seemed to be very exciting...
NajoYesterday at 10:26 PM
-After finishing his absolutely delicious dessert, he heads over to the claw machine again.-
-Yes, he's going to keep playing.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:29 PM
You head back to the crane game...

NajoYesterday at 10:32 PM
-The yellow box was kind to him, so he's going to go for... Hmm, which box should he go for? He thinks for a moment. He looks down. As he does, he sees his glasses. Ah, red. That's what he'll go for next!-
-Red box time!-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:33 PM
The red box was wedged in the center between Pikachu and Totodile...
NajoYesterday at 10:33 PM
-That's not going to stop him. He inserts 50.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:34 PM
The machine comes to life, lighting up and letting out a playful tune. The timer begins to count down as you now have control of the joystick.
The box doesn't even budge as pikachu and totodile guard the red box well.
NajoYesterday at 10:36 PM
-Darn. So much for that. Maybe he'll need to get them out of the way first or something...that or position it well.-
-He inserts another 50.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:37 PM
The box still won't move from its stop. If anything, pikachu falls over onto the box, making it harder to reach.
NajoYesterday at 10:37 PM
"Oh..."
-He inserts another 50. He's gonna get that Pikachu out of the way so that he can get the box. Even if he doesn't get the plush, at least he'll move it out of the way, right?-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:39 PM
The pikachu didn't move. Totodile did though...it also fell atop the red box this time.
NajoYesterday at 10:39 PM
". . ."
-Hiro starts wondering if these two are actually real and just don't want him to get the red box.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:40 PM
The black haired girl from mopping the floor earlier had walked over to him. She had her bag around her shoulder and looked as if she had just gotten off work."Oh! Are you playing the claw machine?
NajoYesterday at 10:42 PM
"H-Huh?" -He turns his head to see that it's the black-haired girl. Woah, she's off of work already? Regardless, AH. A GIRL.- "Y-Yeah... I won the yellow bow out of it before, now I'm trying to win the others...b-but these two Pokemon plushes are blocking the way for the red box."(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:43 PM
"I've never had much luck with those claw machines before.." She giggled softly as the dolls seemed to fall over the box. "Can I watch?"
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 10:45 PM
"U-Uhm, sure!"
-He inserts yet another 50.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:48 PM
The dolls didn't move but a doll that was higher up fell atop the box, thank you Mudkip, Hiro really needed that...
NajoYesterday at 10:48 PM
-Hiro exhales.-
"T-They're all...piling on top of it."
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:49 PM
Chelsea giggled,"Those things look like a scam I don't know how you got a prize from it the first time?" She pulled out some money."Let me try!"
NajoYesterday at 10:50 PM
"Oh, uh... Okay." -He steps away for a moment.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:52 PM
Chelsea puts her money into the machine and aims for the mudkip on the top. She watched as the claw machine succesfully pulled it up with no problem."Oh my Arceus!
She pulled the mudkip doll from the slot at the bottom of the machine and holds it!"How cute! I've never won anything before!" She backs away, happy with her prize.
NajoYesterday at 10:53 PM
-Hiro is amazed by just how she was able to do that on the FIRST TRY.-
"W-Woah... Congratulations!"
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:53 PM
"Thank you ahaha, maybe the red box will be easier to get now that mudkip was be caught!"
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 10:54 PM
"Y-Yeah... Maybe...!"
-Insert another 50.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:55 PM
The claw moved totodile out of the way but pikachu still had a grasp on the red box!
NajoYesterday at 10:55 PM
-ANOTHER 50, he's determined to get that red box. They're not going to defend it anymore!-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:58 PM
The claw pushed pikachu aside this time and snatched the box tightly as it deposited the box into the slot...poor pikachu.
NajoYesterday at 10:59 PM
-Poor Pikachu? It tried to guard the box.-
-hiro pumps his fist into the air lightly and reaches down for the red box.-
"Yes!"
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:59 PM
You received the red mystery box!
NajoYesterday at 10:59 PM
-What could be so amazing that it took 3 Pokemon to guard it? What kind of HIDDEN MYSTERIES ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE BOX?!-
-Probably nothing that big, but it took a lot to get it.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:00 PM
Chelsea clapped her hands together,"Good job, that wasn't too bad. I will have to tell the boss to make it cost more in the future hehe!"
NajoYesterday at 11:01 PM
-He pouts at that before beginning to open up the box.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:04 PM
Inside was a Repel, a red shard and a pouch of stardust!
NajoYesterday at 11:04 PM
-Huh..He looks at the pouch of stardust.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:04 PM
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/f/f6/Dream_Stardust_Sprite.png/71px-Dream_Stardust_Sprite.png
NajoYesterday at 11:04 PM
-He's wondering what the heck it is.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:05 PM
Lovely, red-colored sand with a loose, silky feel. It can be sold at a high price to shops.
NajoYesterday at 11:05 PM
-Hiro looks back at the claw machine.-
-YES, HE'S GONNA DO IT AGAIN.-

NajoYesterday at 11:06 PM
-That's two boxes down. He shoves another 50 in. Since he went for red, he'll go for blue.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:08 PM
The claw machine dropped the box half way to the goal...landing on gulpin. Better be careful it don't eat it!
NajoYesterday at 11:08 PM
-
, it's not like it can actually eat the claw. Hiro shoves another 50 in to try again.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:09 PM
Maybe the claw was feeling tired as it dropped the blue box again! it was so close to the goal!
NajoYesterday at 11:09 PM
-HE WILL GET THE THIRD BOX! ANOTHER 50!-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:10 PM
The claw managed to keep it in its grasps this time as it deposited the box for Hiro.
NajoYesterday at 11:11 PM
-Another one! Yeaaaah! Hiro's pretty hyped up about it, winning prizes and all of that.-
-He reaches inside to take the box out, opening it.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:12 PM
Inside was a blue shard and an escape rope!
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 11:12 PM
-Hiro tilts his head. Wait, he already got these...-
-Well, what did he expect? It's a crane game.-
-He has 3 tries left, which he's going to use. Yup. He slides another 50 in- SOMEBODY STOP HIM-
-The green box, yes.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:15 PM
The claw reached into the box for the green box, pushing duskull out of the way but it got caught onto togepi.
The claw machine pulls up togepi instead of the green box!
NajoYesterday at 11:16 PM
"H-Huh?"
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:16 PM
The machine deposits the togepi doll into the slot...At least the green box was free for pickings now...
NajoYesterday at 11:18 PM
-He takes out the Togepi plush. Wow, it's really cute, actually. He's pleasantly surprised, since he's never actually won a plush before.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:19 PM
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/ab/Doll_Togepi_VI.png
NajoYesterday at 11:19 PM
-He slides another 50 in. That Green Box is gonna get it.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:20 PM
The claw gets the green box with ease, not having any trouble this time around!
NajoYesterday at 11:23 PM
"Y-Yes, again!"
-He reaches inside the slot to pull out the box and open it.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:24 PM
Inside was a green shard, a stick, a rose incense and a potion!
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 11:25 PM
-A...stick was inside of here? What?-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:25 PM
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/2/24/Dream_Stick_Sprite.png
An item to be held by Farfetch'd. This very long and stiff stalk of leek boosts its critical-hit ratio.
NajoYesterday at 11:30 PM
-He realizes he only has 50 left. Oh well. He puts it in and tries to go for the next box.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:31 PM
You used your last 50...and failed miserably. At least you got 5 items from the claw machine...
NajoYesterday at 11:31 PM
-Aw, well. There goes all of his money. These items that he got look like they could fetch some money, though. Where could he sell these? The Pokemart, maybe?-
-He wants to get the last two. There's only two more boxes left! C'mon, something to brag about, right?-
-He checks to see if the girl is still watching him.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:35 PM
The girl was gone...Probably went home from the day. Guess you can brag to the blonde haired girl if you really wanted too.
NajoYesterday at 11:42 PM
-Nah. He should leave. Sadly, he won't be able to get the other two boxes, but he's probably the only person to get this much in one sitting.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:43 PM
You left the cafe. What else could could you do in the town or was it time to leave?
NajoYesterday at 11:44 PM
-Oh, no. It was time to leave. Good thing he got his soda refilled!-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:45 PM
You left for route 29...
#route-29
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:46 PM
Route 29:
This forest-like route is a route filled with trees and different paths. There is a lot of tall grass in the area and cliffs and ledges around the area, in fact, one wrong turn and you're looking down over a part of the route or groups of trees.
A group of 6 spearow roamed the grass along the path towards Cherrygrove city.
Exits:
North: Route 49
West: Cherrygrove City
East: Newbark Town
NajoYesterday at 11:48 PM
-Hiro left New Bark Town with a backpack full of goodies that he won from the arcade machine. Good souvenirs! He's proud of himself for winning so many, even if it made all of his money go away. However, he could probably sell these cool looking items for something at the Pokemart.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:50 PM
The spearow looked up at you as you passed by. One of them squawked to the other. They looked at your heavy bag on your shoulders.
The birds flew off into different directions, hiding in the trees...
NajoYesterday at 11:53 PM
-He continues to walk along down the path happily. He's such a happy boy that doesn't deserve anything bad to happen to him.-
-Things have finally looked up in his life. His parents tortured him badly as a kid and never allowed him to have fun, but now he was getting into college, away from his parents.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:54 PM
The spearow began to dive from different directions, trying to claw at your bag!
NajoYesterday at 11:55 PM
-Hiro sees that the Spearow are suddenly flying towards him. His eye goes wide and he gasps loudly.-
"H-Huh?! O-Oh no!"
-He then begins to make a mad sprint through Route 29, trying to get away from the 6 Spearow.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:56 PM
You failed to escape and one of them tries to peck at you!
It rushes...
NajoYesterday at 11:57 PM
-SIDESTEP-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:57 PM
It...
The spearow's attack missed!
NajoYesterday at 11:58 PM
-Hiro isn't going to stop running. He's being attacked by POKEMON! For no reason! Oh no, maybe coming out to New Bark Town was a mistake!-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:59 PM
...You managed to barely escape in time as a talon almost grazed your shoulder.
You quickly escaped to Cherrygrove City!
ZekeRefToday at 12:02 AM
Cherrygrove City:
Cherrygrove City is a city surrounded by forest and a lake that is at the west of the area. There is a main area of the city where most shops and buildings are as well as the peaceful outskirts were people tend to live near forest-like areas.
A man stood outside the pokemon center, looking for any passersby that would care to listen to him.
There was a small off-shore island that could be accessed by a small boat and there was a lab somewhere in the town apparently!
Exits:
North: Route 30
East: Route 29
NajoToday at 12:03 AM
-Hiro rushes in here and nearly falls over. He slows down before leaning over to hold his knees, breathing heavily.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:04 AM
You made it out alive surprisingly! It was dangerous to travel without a pokemon!
NajoToday at 12:06 AM
-Poor Hiro... He wanted to cry. That was horrible! Those Pokemon just suddenly ganged up on him and tried to hurt him! Who knows what could have happened if he didn't escape?-
ZekeRefToday at 12:07 AM
They probably would have made off with your bag. That's what they seemed to want! Good thing you escaped and they didn't follow you!
NajoToday at 12:08 AM
-Hiro didn't know that's what they wanted. All he k new is that they attacked him.-
-It takes a few minutes for him to catch his breath.-
"T-That...That w-was horrible.."
-He's really shaken up about it.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:10 AM
The man in front of the pokemon center spots you and walks up to you unaware of what expired moments before."Welcome! You came from New Bark Town? Would you like a tour of our City?!"

NajoToday at 12:11 AM
-Hiro looks over to see the man approaching him. He's a bit hesitant on answering, or even being near him. After all, stranger danger. Then again, he doesn't want to be mean and say no. Just look at how enthusiastic he is about it.-
"O-....Okay."
ZekeRefToday at 12:15 AM
"Great! Cherrygrove is the safest City in Johto, I love our place its beautiful when the trees are in bloom!" He besides to guide Hiro around the city.
"This is the pokemon center, you can heal your pokemon or take a break and rent a room. They have vending machines inside if you're hungry or thirsty.
"Here's the pokemart, you can buy or sell almost anything you can think of as long as it's not rare. They even sell clothes at some of the marts! How convenient is that?"
They walk past the rows of houses, towards a unmarked building."This is Professor Teak's lab I guess, it isn't much to look at but he gets the job done."
"Thank you for being so patient with me, no one ever cares to stop and listen. I have a gift for you..."
NajoToday at 12:18 AM
-Hiro was brought through the entire tour. Huh, well that actually wasn't so bad. It was a nice breather from the horrifying event back in Route 29.-
"I-I don't understand why... I thought it was nice and informative..."
"W-Wait, a gift?"
ZekeRefToday at 12:19 AM
"Kids are always in a hurry these days, not too long a boy about your age pasted through here and didn't give me the time of day."
The man proceeds to pull out a pair of running shoes for Hiro."For you!"
[Color/Style] Shoe: A Shoe that are made for the average person. +1HP x 2
NajoToday at 12:20 AM
-Hiro gasps in surprise.- "A-Are you sure?!"
"S-Shoes are expensive...!"
ZekeRefToday at 12:21 AM
"Nah, don't worry! It's worth it, I love showing my pride for my city and you were such a good listener!"
NajoToday at 12:23 AM
"T-Thank you so much, sir...!"
-He loves them! In fact, he changes into them right then and there!-
ZekeRefToday at 12:24 AM
Your new shoes are looking pretty snazzy!
With that said, the man was happy someone listened and the boy liked the shoes, he left to return to his spot by the center.
NajoToday at 12:26 AM
"These are really comfortable.." -Hiro states to himself as he stretches in them.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:27 AM
They probably needed to be worn in so hopefully the blisters aren't too bad as you travel!
You could go to the pokemart to sell items or you could check out Professor Teak's lab. Maybe you could explore the off-shore island even...!
NajoToday at 12:31 AM
-Well, first thing's first. He has no money on him, so he needs to sell his items. He heads to the Poke mart.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:32 AM
You enter the pokemart, seeing a couple with their small child shopping by the clothes section and a worker stocking the shelves as you walk in...
NajoToday at 12:34 AM
-Hiro walks up to the counter.- "U-Uhm, hello?"
ZekeRefToday at 12:35 AM
The worker stocking the shelves rushes over and slides behind the counter."Hey, what can I do for you today?"
NajoToday at 12:36 AM
"Is...Is it okay if I sell some items, sir?"
-He takes off his backpack and gently lay sit on the counter.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:37 AM
"I don't see any problem in that, show me what you have!"
NajoToday at 12:38 AM
-First, he places the nugget down, then the stardust, then the rose incense.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:46 AM
"Let me see..." He inspected each of the three items."I can give you 7,500 for all of that together. How does that sound?"
NajoToday at 12:46 AM
-HOLY MILTANKS! He only had 2,000 to start and now he's getting that much? That's perfect! A huge smile spreads from ear to ear.-
"Y-Yes, sir!"
"T-That sounds great!"
ZekeRefToday at 12:47 AM
The shopkeeper took the nugget, stardust and rose incense from the student."Glad we could come to an agreement. Is there anything else you need?'
He handed Hiro 7,500$. Have he ever held that much on his own? it was his money, not his parents or anyone elses but his own.
NajoToday at 12:51 AM
-Cha-ching! Hiro's NEVER had this much money before! This is incredible! He puts it in his backpack and grins.- "N-No thanks, I'm going to browse. Thank you, sir." -Hiro then bows politely before walking off into the store.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:53 AM
Anything you could think about buying was held in this tiny store. There was a section with clothing...Gear...Assist items...Pokeballs...Stones...Held Items....TMs and HMs...
NajoToday at 12:53 AM
-Clothes? Interesting. He walks over to see what kind of clothes they have for sale.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:55 AM
There were jackets, glasses, hats, swimsuits, shirts, helmets, shorts, pants, gloves, shoes, rings, scarves, pajamas, bracelets and so much more...!~
NajoToday at 12:59 AM
-But what about the prices?-
ZekeRefToday at 1:00 AM
Everything is under 300$, pick some things out and I'll tell you how much they cost.
NajoToday at 1:02 AM
-Hat, Jacket, Shorts, 2 gloves, 2 bracelets and 4 accessories of any type.-

NajoToday at 1:10 AM
-These items look really nice, although he should save his money in case he really needs it.-
-Happy and content with the amount of money he made, Hiro exits the store.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:11 AM
You left the mart...
It began raining, sprinkling a few droplets as you exited...
NajoToday at 1:14 AM
"Wh- ...Oh no, is it going to rain?"
-Sadly, he doesn't have an umbrella.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:15 AM
Could've bought one but it started lightly drizzling.
Where to next?
NajoToday at 1:15 AM
-The Pokemon Center, since he needs a roof over his head.-
-And it's the closest building to him.-
-So he quickly heads over to the building before heading into the entrance.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:17 AM
You could see a girl playing in the rain, her marill following behind as the umbrella less girl splashed into a puddle next to you as you approach the center.
"Oops! Sorry!" She ran off as your new shoes became soaked. Time to enter the center with your socks squishing against your shoes!
NajoToday at 1:22 AM
-Hiro smiles as he watches the girl play around in the rain with her Marill. But then she splashes and the water gets all over his shoes. Hiro gasps. Noooo...! Those are brand new! He got those as a gift... He watches as the girl and her Marill run off.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:23 AM
They were shoes! You could place them next to a fire type or a flying type to see if they would they them. All on their own it might take a while as you enter the pokecenter.
The pokemon center was a little crowded, the boy from New Bark Town was arguing with a blonde girl at a table. There was a backpacker feeding her butterfree some poffins.
An older gentleman getting a room key from the nurse so he could rest his bones from his travelling as his grandchild pulled him along.
There was a girl waiting in line behind a girl to use the PC system, yacking on her phone.
There was a single nurse behind the counter, healing pokemon and giving out room keys.
NajoToday at 1:30 AM
-Oh dear. He didn't like crowded places. Hiro thought this would be a place for rest, but it's actually quite the opposite right now. Maybe he could get a room... Yeah, then he'd have peace and quiet. Hiro approaches the front desk.-(edited)
ZekeRefToday at 1:31 AM
The nurse looks busy at the moment as the elderly man is signing paperwork to get his roomkey..."I'll be right with you!" She looks tired but smiles.
NajoToday at 1:31 AM
-Hiro nods. He's very patient. He can understand that she's dealing with a lot. It's a tough job...-
ZekeRefToday at 1:32 AM
The television in the center was playing the news channel...
A reporter was on TV.
"Just in, there appears to be a horrible storm sweeping over Goldenrod City, sightings of something flying through the heavy winds."
(edited)
NajoToday at 1:33 AM
-Hiro looks up to the T.V. and gasps. What?! That's his city! With a concerned expression, Hiro continues to watch the T.V.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:35 AM
The reporter is standing in front of an empty street, the radio tower behind her. In the stormy clouds you could see a dark shape move and a low rumble heard in the background as lightning strikes the antenna and the channel goes blank.
The boy from new Bark Town was watching as well after he stopped arguing with the girl he was sitting with."Oh shit...what was that?!"
The room had fallen quiet...
NajoToday at 1:38 AM
-Hiro's heart skipped a beat and his breathing had stopped when he saw the lightning hit the radio tower and the channel going blank.-
"W...What was...?"
ZekeRefToday at 1:39 AM
The channel remained off the air as everyone quietly whispered to themselves of what could be going on. The nurse had finished dealing with the person in line in front of Hiro and now she was free.
NajoToday at 1:40 AM
-Hiro blinks and shakes his head. Everything is fine, surely... Yeah, it's just lightning, right? Optical illusions and lightning. Hiro moves up to the counter.-
"U-Uhm, hi... May I please have a room?"
ZekeRefToday at 1:41 AM
The nurse pulled out the paperwork for Hiro to sign."You'll have to return the key in the morning unless you ask for another day when you wake up. " She explained as she pulled out Cherrygrove Key A to give to Hiro.
The nurse changed the channel with the remote next to her, flipping to another news channel.
"We would be expecting some heavy rain near Goldenrod and Azalea, not too bad in violet city or Cherrygrove. This weekend expect the clouds to go away and the sun to come out and play. Going to be in the high 60s tonight and the high 70s tomorrow afternoon." The weatherman droned on.
NajoToday at 1:44 AM
"T-Thank you..." -He nods before beginning to sign the paper work.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:45 AM
The nurse handed Hiro the key."First door down the left hall. Do you want me to heal your pokemon as well?"
(edited)
NajoToday at 1:49 AM
"I-I don't have any Pokemon..." -He replies.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:50 AM
"Pardon me! Sorry, we get some many trainers pasting by I assumed you were one. Unless you're here to get a starter from Professor Teak?"
NajoToday at 1:52 AM
"S-S-Starter?" -Hiro stutters more than usual when he's asked about this. His mind goes back to the thought of what would happen if his Mom and Dad figured out he got a Pokemon. He was be IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:58 AM
"Yes, our very own Professor Teak is supported by the pokemon association although he's an alolan man. He will give you a pokedex and starter if you ask nicely."
NajoToday at 2:01 AM
"Uhm...T-Thanks..." -He nods before taking the room key.- "Have a g-good day and...and don't work too hard."
ZekeRefToday at 2:03 AM
The nurse smiled and nodded, going back to her computer and working on the system. There was a fat chansey waddling down the hall walking past you. Now what?
NajoToday at 2:04 AM
-Hiro is going to head straight to his room for peace and quiet.-
ZekeRefToday at 2:06 AM
You enter the first room, turning the key. In Goldenrod they had sliding keycard for the pokemon centers but in Cherrygrove they still used keys.
The room had two bunk beds on either side with fresh, clean blue sheets on them and a table under the single wide window.
NajoToday at 2:08 AM
-First thing is first, he takes off his shoes and socks and puts them off to the side.-
ZekeRefToday at 2:09 AM
You lay them out to dry in the corner.
Soft raindrops splattered against your window but the shades and curtains blocked your sight from seeing the water, only hearing it.
NajoToday at 2:12 AM
-He puts his backpack down to the side of the bed and plops down into the bed.-
-He's going to rest for now.-
ZekeRefToday at 2:14 AM
You close your eyes as you were tired from having travelled all day and the weather was too bad to go out exploring without the proper gear! Good night! You could hear soft roaring from outside, it was far away but travelled across the area of Johto.
New Bark Town is a small town that is surrounded by trees and a small lake is located on the east side of the town. There are decent diversity of pokemon that is located in this area due to the lake and the trees that grow in the area. The air is very clean in this area.
Locations:
Professor Elm's Lab: A laboratory where professor Elm works. The pokemon administration seems to donate books to Elm for his research to progress.
New Bark Harbor: A ship port in New Bark Town that is located near the ocean
The small town was beginning to crowd up with tourists and there was a cafe that open up recently.
Exits:
West: Route 29
East: Route 27
NajoYesterday at 5:31 PM
-The sun shines down and the Pidgey chirp as another morning in the world of Pokemon began. People are going about their days, coming in and out of New Bark Town. One of these people come from the entrance to Route 29, a boy with short, black and somewhat messy hair comes through and admires the town from where he stands for a moment.-
"Wooow..."
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:41 PM
The town was lively for the morning while the sun was bright. An elderly woman tended to her garden as a cleffa watched through the fence as the lady watered her berry plants.
Several pidgey perched atop the power lines overhead the lab. An Aipom was climbing up the side of the lab, trying to see the shiny object that was stuck on the roof.
A poochyena stood by its trainer outside the cafe. It lay under the outside table as its owner sipped on a cool beverage.
In front of the lab was a boy, around Hiro's age. he was staring up at a sign posted on the door of the lab.
NajoYesterday at 5:44 PM
-Now this place was much more calming than a place like Goldenrod City. He proceeds to walk through the town, seeing the residents or tourists roam around the Town or tend to their own affairs. Eventually, he can see the lab. Ahah! That's the place he's looking for! As he approaches it, he notices the boy in front of the lab, staring at the sign. He starts moving towards the boy and the door.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:47 PM
The boy was reading the sign with a frown plastered to his face. As you got closer to the door, you could read the sign.
**Professor Elm is on vacation, please go to the lab in Cherrygrove. Thanks**
All the lights were shut off and the door was latched shut. The windows were closed and latched, because of a past incident Elm never leave the windows open.
NajoYesterday at 5:52 PM
-Hiro gasps and a disappointed expression shows on his face. He really wanted to check out the lab, too. He came all the way here from Violet City because of it! But he didn't know that Cherrygrove City had a lab, too. Why didn't he see it as he was passing through? Regardless, he only came to see Professor Elm's lab. He's the head Professor of this region, after all.-
-Now he's unsure of what to do now..-
-Go to Cherrygrove's lab in pursuit of wanting to see a lab, stay in New Bark Town for a little longer, or head right back to Violet City?-
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:54 PM
The boy finally turned after noticing Hiro approach. He could see the disappointment across his face.
"I came all the way from Goldenrod only to see its closed..." He told you as he shuffled his foot into the dirt.
NajoYesterday at 5:56 PM
-Hiro wasn't sure of how to respond, but he tries to anyways.- "O-Oh... Y-You live in Goldenrod too, huh? I live there, b-but... I came here after I reached Violet City."
ZekeRefYesterday at 5:58 PM
The boy shrugged his shoulders, tilting his head."How come I've never seen you before?" His eyes lit up, the sign on the door forgotten.
"I need to get a pokemon, what about you man?"
NajoYesterday at 6:01 PM
"M-Me?" -Oh boy. He doesn't want the boy to assume he's getting a Pokemon. That means that someone with false knowledge could go around blabbing their mouth... For his own parents to find out. Jeeze, if his Parents found out he visited a Lab, they would tear him a new one. They don't want him to have anything to do with Pokemon.-
"I just w-wanna...see what a lab looks like on the inside. See the technology and stuff."
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:04 PM
The orange haired boy seemed to either not hear Hiro through all of his stuttering or just didn't care. "Nah! You gotta get a pokemon! Though, if you're just wanting to look at all the boring stuff inside I'm sure Cherrygrove has what you're looking for.
NajoYesterday at 6:07 PM
"Yeah...the boring stuff. I'm a boring guy, ahahah..." -With that, Hiro tries to squirm out of the conversation by beginning to walk away. He holds a hand up to wave towards the boy lightly as he begins to head away from the lab.-
"Have a good one."
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:09 PM
The boy disappeared from your sights out of the the town probably to go to Cherrygrove...
What were you going to do now? There wasn't much to look at in the town except houses and the new cafe that opened up recently...were you going to explore or leave?
NajoYesterday at 6:14 PM
-Well, maybe he can go check out the new cafe that opened up. Yeah, a nice little distraction before heading back to Cherrygrove City. Hiro starts to walk towards the Cafe.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:16 PM
You head to the cafe, the sign overhead said 'New Bark Cafe'. It was plan and simple but got the point across. There was a small eating area outside to the left. The previous trainer with their poochyena had long gone and left.
As you enter the cafe, it was fairly empty with only an elder couple in the back booth. There was a bored looking girl leaning up against the counter.
"Hi, welcome to our cafe, please take a seat, be right with you." The blonde girl said as she looked down at her phone from under the countertop.
NajoYesterday at 6:22 PM
"O-Okay..." -Hiro looks around him for a moment to get an idea of where to sit and then decides to sit at the nearest booth available.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:25 PM
The blonde's nametag said Mariella as you watched her dispear into the back, probably to tell the cook something.
As you sat as the nearest booth, you could clearly see the place was spotless. If you thought that they were good at cleaning, it was probably just because things didn't get used much. You were the first customer that day to have even sat at that booth.
The girl came out a few moments later with a menu and set it down on the table in front of you."What would you like to drink?"
NajoYesterday at 6:29 PM
-When he looks up at her face as she approached the table, he immediately looked right back down. Oh jeeze, she looks fairly attractive, too. That makes social interaction even more difficult for him. He checks the menu to see what drinks there are.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:32 PM
You look down at the menu to check the drinks and prices...
Fresh Water $200
Soda Pop $300
Lemonade $350
Moomoo Milk $500
Berry Juice $1500
Tea $400
NajoYesterday at 6:34 PM
-Hiro frowns. He only has 2,000 on him... Well, it'd be a rip off to buy Fresh Water when you could get water from a water fountain or something. He needs to invest in getting a stainless steel water bottle or something. He's not going to pay 1500 for berry juice, that's for sure. He might as well buy soda.-
"M-May I have the Soda Pop, please?"
-He rarely gets to have soda, anyways. Thank his parents once again.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:38 PM
The girl put something down into her phone for the order.
"Do you want something to eat or still looking?"
NajoYesterday at 6:39 PM
-Hiro checks the rest of the menu for food items.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 6:57 PM
You look back at the menu in front of you...
Plates -$1,000 Each
Hearty Pikachu Plate
Eevee Teriyaki Chicken Burger
Pikachu Curry
Snorelax Hamburg and Seafood Rice Slate
Pikachu's Hide and Seek Carbonara
Desert - $500 Each
Pikachu Mango Pudding With Fruit
Layered Lapras Parfait
Chocolate and Strawberry Eevee Parfait
Jigglypuff's Musical Cheesecake
Mimikyu Chocolate Banana Crepe
Pokémon Café Pancakes and Fruit
NajoYesterday at 6:59 PM
-Hiro's heart sinks. Why is everything so expensive?! He only has 2,000... His parents always made him eat at home. Is this why they wanted him to be successful so badly? Is the economy really that bad? Or is this one place just expensive?-
-He exhales heavily. Well, it wouldn't matter anyways. He'll be back in Violet City in no time. He should enjoy himself, since he never gets to do things like this. What looks good, though? He turns his head back to the girl and suddenly does something that not a lot of customers probably do: Ask for the favorite dish of the waitress.-(edited)
"W-What's your favorite dish?"(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:06 PM
The girl was feeling impatient as she shuffled from foot to foot. Why can't he just point at something? She blinked, registering his meek question.
She couldn't remember the last time she actually ate the cafe's own food...."I guess the desserts...they look nice." She scans the menu on the table, trying to look at something that might suit the fancy of her customer."Something with chocolate?"
NajoYesterday at 7:09 PM
-That would leave it between the Chocolate and Strawberry Eevee Parfait and the Mimikyu Chocolate Banana Crepe.-
"The...Mimikyu Chocolate Banana Crepe, then."
(( Sorry, I know it's real time I forgot ))
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:10 PM
Suddenly another waitress came bumbling out of the kitchen with a bucket of mop water, almost spilling it across the floor!
NajoYesterday at 7:10 PM
"S-Since you said the deserts are good, it means I should try-"
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:10 PM
The blonde haired waitress turned around sharply, snapping almost instantly."New girl, be careful!"
NajoYesterday at 7:11 PM
-And he was interrupted by the sound of the girl bumbling out of the kitchen. He gasps when she almost spills the mop water, but exhales in relief when she sees that she kept her balance.-
-That could have been bad.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:13 PM
The black haired girl bowed and apologized to her senor."Ah, I'm sorry, I over filled the bucket she said as she began mopping the floor near the tables.
The girl craned her neck to see what Hiro and the waitress were looking at on the menu."Did he order yet?"
NajoYesterday at 7:14 PM
"S-Sorry!" -He responds quickly and points to the Mimikyu Chocolate Banana Crepe.-
"I...I didn't know what to order, so I asked her what she likes..."(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:17 PM
The black haired waitress looked to where he was pointed."Oh! Mimikyu is a Pokémon who's always desired to be loved. Thanks to this crepe combination of chocolate and banana, we don't think it has to look much further. It's a good choice, I tried it the other day!"
NajoYesterday at 7:21 PM
-Hiro blinks at the sudden detail that the black-haired waitress gave to him. He didn't know what a Mimikyu was, but he definitely wants to see one after the black-haired girl explained it to him. A small smile forms on his face.-
"Thank you...! I'll...I'll have that, then."
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:24 PM
"I can take this order Mariella." The black haired girl smiled. She may have been new but she seemed more attentive then the blonde was.
"No way, you go clean that floor." She scowled, writing down the order into her phone. She began to walk back to the kitchen to get his soda and tell the chefs the order.
After being scolded, the black haired girl looked down at the ground, moping the already clean floor.
NajoYesterday at 7:26 PM
-Hiro watches Mariella walk back into the kitchen and the black haired girl continue to clean the floor, despite it not looking like it needed to be cleaned. Why is she cleaning it? Genuinely curious, he asks the black-haired girl.-
"...E-Excuse me, if...you don't mind me asking, but why are you cleaning the floor?"
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:28 PM
The girl with the mop, who's name tag read 'Chelsea' looked up from her moping, her bangs covering her eyes."I was asked to mop so I'm doing it."
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 7:28 PM
"But...it's already clean."
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:31 PM
"It's my job to clean." She finished mopping the area, putting up a wetfloor sign before pulling a towel out of her apron and a spray bottle off the bucket, beginning to clean off the tables."Busywork, you know?"
NajoYesterday at 7:32 PM
"O-Oh... Yeah..." -He got the name on her nametag before looking back down at the table. He twiddles his thumbs, unsure of what to say next. He wasn't good at conversations...or talking to girls.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:35 PM
Mariella came back with Hiro's soda after a minute, setting the fizzy soda down in front of him.
It had plenty of ice in it and it was dark in colour. What flavour could it be?
NajoYesterday at 7:36 PM
"T-Thank you." -He thanks Mariella and nods before taking the soda and sipping a little bit of it.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:40 PM
The flavour was unique, maybe different from the fizzy sodas from the vending machines back in Goldenrod?
The girl returned to her spot at the counter as she awaited your desert to be finished.
There wasn't too much to do except in the corner there was a jukebox and a clawmachine.
NajoYesterday at 7:46 PM
-Woah, this soda tasted different. It's different than the ones he rarely sneaks in at Goldenrod. It's really good. Looks like the price is justified... at least for him. He then notices the two other things there, a Jukebox and a Claw machine.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:49 PM
The jukebox was electronic, having a touch screen menu and a library full of music. It was free though! About the only thing in the cafe that didn't cost some kind of money to enjoy. There was a pikachu with a tophat design engraved in colourful print.
The claw machine was small and had one of those tiny claws instead of the big ones. Inside were pokemon dolls and mystery box presents. it only cost $50 for a chance at getting a prize.
NajoYesterday at 7:52 PM
-And the Jukebox is free! Well, now he's motivated to go to it and play some music. He hops up from his seat and moves towards the Jukebox first. Music first, prizes in a minute! Time to see what the Jukebox has in store for him.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:54 PM
You look at the menu, seeing the vast library of pop, rap, and rock, and jazz music. There were a lot of famous people you had never even heard of! Idol Effie had a large library of music as you looked at the menu.
NajoYesterday at 7:55 PM
-He wonders who the in the world 'Idol Effie' is. He shrugs and wonders to himself; what kind of music should he play?-
ZekeRefYesterday at 7:56 PM
There was a random button if you really couldn't decide.
NajoYesterday at 8:00 PM
-Ahah! He knows exactly what song to play. He starts typing down his selection before finally coming across it and selecting it.-
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrgaUY4EDLc
YouTube
Dr. Pez - VGM
Pokemon RBY - Viridian City Smooth Jazz Guitar Cover
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:02 PM
The song began to play, the smooth acoustics played through the speakers set up to the jukebox...
NajoYesterday at 8:05 PM
-Ah, perfect. The music of his native region. He misses Kanto... He wishes he could have stayed with the friends he made there, but his parents made him move with them to Johto. It's been rough, but now he's about to go to college! It's all going to work out, right? Regardless, he shakes his head to forget about that and turns his head towards the crane game. He's going to play the heck out of that thing. Hiro moves towards it.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:08 PM
As you inch closer to the crane game you could see the items inside the slide more closely...
Dolls
Azurill
Chikorita
Cyndaquil
Duskull
Gulpin
Swablu
Mudkip
Pikachu
Togepi
Wailmer
Treecko
Totodile
Poochyena
Fomantis

Red Box
Blue Box
Green Box
Yellow Box
Purple Box
Orange Box
NajoYesterday at 8:09 PM
-Woah, look at all of those cute plushies! He could decorate his dorm room with them... Or he could win the boxes. What's inside of those? They look interesting. Actually, yes. He's going to try for the boxes! Here we go.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:10 PM
You looked at the boxes. Most of them seemed to be buried under the dolls but you could catch a corner of one of them if you angled it right. What box are you going for?
NajoYesterday at 8:11 PM
-Let's go for the yellow one, which is the color of his dessert.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:11 PM
Please insert 50 into the machine...
NajoYesterday at 8:11 PM
-Hiro inserts 50 into the machine.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:13 PM
The claw machine played a jingle as the timer began to go down. The lights inside the machine light up and you could now move the claw to where the corner, under the wailmer doll was the yellow box!
NajoYesterday at 8:13 PM
-And that's exactly what he does.-
-He's going to try and get it by the corner.-
-Since it's underneath the doll.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:14 PM
The claw lower towards the box, pushing the wailmer doll slightly but the shitty contraption gets stuck after moving the doll and you were unsuccessful as the claw raised back up.
NajoYesterday at 8:17 PM
"Aw..." -Well, he sticks another 50 in there to try again.-
-At least it moved the doll out of the way slightly.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:19 PM
You went for the yellow box again. The claw grabbing the middle of the box and began to pull it back up slowly. It almost slipped from its grasp as it carried it over to the slot that it would fall out of.
**Plop**
The claw dropped the yellow box into the slot and the lights all light up, 'WINNER!'.
NajoYesterday at 8:20 PM
-Hiro gasps and brings a hand up to his mouth. Oh my gosh, he did it! He won! He shakes around in place a little bit with excitement and leans down to reach into the slot so that he can pull out his prize.-
"Yes!" -He celebrates quietly.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:21 PM
The yellow mystery box was heavy, no wonder the claw struggled to pick it up! What could be inside?!
NajoYesterday at 8:24 PM
-Hiro's inner child is screaming with joy from the inside! Yes! YES! OPEN IT! Claim your prize! He begins to open up the Yellow Box quickly.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:25 PM
You open the box to find a few goodies tucked away inside under tissue paper...
...You found a jar of honey...
A yellow shard
An escape rope and a....Nugget!
NajoYesterday at 8:27 PM
-Hiro's jaw drops. Excuse him- WHAT? Is that what he thinks it is? He reaches inside to pull out the nugget.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:27 PM
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/50/Dream_Nugget_Sprite.png
A rare chunk of brick...it doesn't do anything but can be sold for a high price...
NajoYesterday at 8:32 PM
"Wow... Amazing..."
-He places all of the items inside of his backpack.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:32 PM
Just then your food arrived at your table!
"Enjoy your Mimikyu Chocolate Banana Crepe..." the blonde girl said quietly."Need anything else?"
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 8:35 PM
-Hiro notices that his food was brought to his table. He quickly walks back over there and plops back into the booth.- "T-Thank you! Uhm... No thanks. Thank you, again."
ZekeRefYesterday at 8:49 PM
The waitress nodded and made a sound 'mmhmm' as she set down his bill. Total was 800 and he used 100 on the claw machine, leaving him with only 1,100 money left to spend.
NajoYesterday at 8:59 PM
-He pays the bill before hand so that he can enjoy his order without having to worry about paying later.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:01 PM
The girl takes the money, glaring at there being no tip for her. She wasn't going to refill his soda for that.
There wasn't much else to do except to eat.
NajoYesterday at 9:42 PM
-He then realizes that he forgot to tip, reaching inside of his wallet. He sighs, not wanting to spend MORE money, but...he gives her a nice 500 tip, even if she wasn't all that nice.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:42 PM
You set down the money on the table. The girl must have been watching you because she came back with a refill for your soda.
NajoYesterday at 9:44 PM
"O-Oh, thank you!" -He notices that he got a refill on his soda, which is very nice of her. He's not used to refills. Two sodas, nice.-
-He hands her the tip money.- "I...I forgot to give this to you back there, I'm sorry..."
ZekeRefYesterday at 9:52 PM
The waitress took the money, putting it into her apron. "Thank you, make sure you come make again!" The blonde girl was happy that she actually got a tip. She didn't get paid much and relied on tips mostly.
"is there anything else you need sir?"
NajoYesterday at 10:07 PM
"U-Uhm..." -He looks up to the girl, thinking for a moment.- "No, that's it. Thank you very much." -Her mood looked like it elevated from the tip! Did he give a good enough amount of money? Then a thought comes to his mind. What if... What kind of other prizes are in the Claw Machine? What if he gets ANOTHER NUGGET?-(edited)
-With that, he bites into his dessert with a fork.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:12 PM
The girl left Hiro alone, probably to go back looking at her phone as the elderly couple left the cafe only leaving Hiro as the only customer.
The TV hanging from the ceiling was playing an old series about how to care for your berry plants. Nothing seemed to be very exciting...
NajoYesterday at 10:26 PM
-After finishing his absolutely delicious dessert, he heads over to the claw machine again.-
-Yes, he's going to keep playing.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:29 PM
You head back to the crane game...

NajoYesterday at 10:32 PM
-The yellow box was kind to him, so he's going to go for... Hmm, which box should he go for? He thinks for a moment. He looks down. As he does, he sees his glasses. Ah, red. That's what he'll go for next!-
-Red box time!-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:33 PM
The red box was wedged in the center between Pikachu and Totodile...
NajoYesterday at 10:33 PM
-That's not going to stop him. He inserts 50.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:34 PM
The machine comes to life, lighting up and letting out a playful tune. The timer begins to count down as you now have control of the joystick.
The box doesn't even budge as pikachu and totodile guard the red box well.
NajoYesterday at 10:36 PM
-Darn. So much for that. Maybe he'll need to get them out of the way first or something...that or position it well.-
-He inserts another 50.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:37 PM
The box still won't move from its stop. If anything, pikachu falls over onto the box, making it harder to reach.
NajoYesterday at 10:37 PM
"Oh..."
-He inserts another 50. He's gonna get that Pikachu out of the way so that he can get the box. Even if he doesn't get the plush, at least he'll move it out of the way, right?-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:39 PM
The pikachu didn't move. Totodile did though...it also fell atop the red box this time.
NajoYesterday at 10:39 PM
". . ."
-Hiro starts wondering if these two are actually real and just don't want him to get the red box.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:40 PM
The black haired girl from mopping the floor earlier had walked over to him. She had her bag around her shoulder and looked as if she had just gotten off work."Oh! Are you playing the claw machine?
NajoYesterday at 10:42 PM
"H-Huh?" -He turns his head to see that it's the black-haired girl. Woah, she's off of work already? Regardless, AH. A GIRL.- "Y-Yeah... I won the yellow bow out of it before, now I'm trying to win the others...b-but these two Pokemon plushes are blocking the way for the red box."(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:43 PM
"I've never had much luck with those claw machines before.." She giggled softly as the dolls seemed to fall over the box. "Can I watch?"
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 10:45 PM
"U-Uhm, sure!"
-He inserts yet another 50.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:48 PM
The dolls didn't move but a doll that was higher up fell atop the box, thank you Mudkip, Hiro really needed that...
NajoYesterday at 10:48 PM
-Hiro exhales.-
"T-They're all...piling on top of it."
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:49 PM
Chelsea giggled,"Those things look like a scam I don't know how you got a prize from it the first time?" She pulled out some money."Let me try!"
NajoYesterday at 10:50 PM
"Oh, uh... Okay." -He steps away for a moment.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:52 PM
Chelsea puts her money into the machine and aims for the mudkip on the top. She watched as the claw machine succesfully pulled it up with no problem."Oh my Arceus!
She pulled the mudkip doll from the slot at the bottom of the machine and holds it!"How cute! I've never won anything before!" She backs away, happy with her prize.
NajoYesterday at 10:53 PM
-Hiro is amazed by just how she was able to do that on the FIRST TRY.-
"W-Woah... Congratulations!"
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:53 PM
"Thank you ahaha, maybe the red box will be easier to get now that mudkip was be caught!"
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 10:54 PM
"Y-Yeah... Maybe...!"
-Insert another 50.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:55 PM
The claw moved totodile out of the way but pikachu still had a grasp on the red box!
NajoYesterday at 10:55 PM
-ANOTHER 50, he's determined to get that red box. They're not going to defend it anymore!-
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:58 PM
The claw pushed pikachu aside this time and snatched the box tightly as it deposited the box into the slot...poor pikachu.
NajoYesterday at 10:59 PM
-Poor Pikachu? It tried to guard the box.-
-hiro pumps his fist into the air lightly and reaches down for the red box.-
"Yes!"
ZekeRefYesterday at 10:59 PM
You received the red mystery box!
NajoYesterday at 10:59 PM
-What could be so amazing that it took 3 Pokemon to guard it? What kind of HIDDEN MYSTERIES ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE BOX?!-
-Probably nothing that big, but it took a lot to get it.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:00 PM
Chelsea clapped her hands together,"Good job, that wasn't too bad. I will have to tell the boss to make it cost more in the future hehe!"
NajoYesterday at 11:01 PM
-He pouts at that before beginning to open up the box.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:04 PM
Inside was a Repel, a red shard and a pouch of stardust!
NajoYesterday at 11:04 PM
-Huh..He looks at the pouch of stardust.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:04 PM
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/f/f6/Dream_Stardust_Sprite.png/71px-Dream_Stardust_Sprite.png
NajoYesterday at 11:04 PM
-He's wondering what the heck it is.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:05 PM
Lovely, red-colored sand with a loose, silky feel. It can be sold at a high price to shops.
NajoYesterday at 11:05 PM
-Hiro looks back at the claw machine.-
-YES, HE'S GONNA DO IT AGAIN.-

-That's two boxes down. He shoves another 50 in. Since he went for red, he'll go for blue.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:08 PM
The claw machine dropped the box half way to the goal...landing on gulpin. Better be careful it don't eat it!
NajoYesterday at 11:08 PM
-
, it's not like it can actually eat the claw. Hiro shoves another 50 in to try again.-ZekeRefYesterday at 11:09 PM
Maybe the claw was feeling tired as it dropped the blue box again! it was so close to the goal!
NajoYesterday at 11:09 PM
-HE WILL GET THE THIRD BOX! ANOTHER 50!-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:10 PM
The claw managed to keep it in its grasps this time as it deposited the box for Hiro.
NajoYesterday at 11:11 PM
-Another one! Yeaaaah! Hiro's pretty hyped up about it, winning prizes and all of that.-
-He reaches inside to take the box out, opening it.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:12 PM
Inside was a blue shard and an escape rope!
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 11:12 PM
-Hiro tilts his head. Wait, he already got these...-
-Well, what did he expect? It's a crane game.-
-He has 3 tries left, which he's going to use. Yup. He slides another 50 in- SOMEBODY STOP HIM-
-The green box, yes.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:15 PM
The claw reached into the box for the green box, pushing duskull out of the way but it got caught onto togepi.
The claw machine pulls up togepi instead of the green box!
NajoYesterday at 11:16 PM
"H-Huh?"
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:16 PM
The machine deposits the togepi doll into the slot...At least the green box was free for pickings now...
NajoYesterday at 11:18 PM
-He takes out the Togepi plush. Wow, it's really cute, actually. He's pleasantly surprised, since he's never actually won a plush before.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:19 PM
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/ab/Doll_Togepi_VI.png
NajoYesterday at 11:19 PM
-He slides another 50 in. That Green Box is gonna get it.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:20 PM
The claw gets the green box with ease, not having any trouble this time around!
NajoYesterday at 11:23 PM
"Y-Yes, again!"
-He reaches inside the slot to pull out the box and open it.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:24 PM
Inside was a green shard, a stick, a rose incense and a potion!
(edited)
NajoYesterday at 11:25 PM
-A...stick was inside of here? What?-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:25 PM
cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/2/24/Dream_Stick_Sprite.png
An item to be held by Farfetch'd. This very long and stiff stalk of leek boosts its critical-hit ratio.
NajoYesterday at 11:30 PM
-He realizes he only has 50 left. Oh well. He puts it in and tries to go for the next box.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:31 PM
You used your last 50...and failed miserably. At least you got 5 items from the claw machine...
NajoYesterday at 11:31 PM
-Aw, well. There goes all of his money. These items that he got look like they could fetch some money, though. Where could he sell these? The Pokemart, maybe?-
-He wants to get the last two. There's only two more boxes left! C'mon, something to brag about, right?-
-He checks to see if the girl is still watching him.-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:35 PM
The girl was gone...Probably went home from the day. Guess you can brag to the blonde haired girl if you really wanted too.
NajoYesterday at 11:42 PM
-Nah. He should leave. Sadly, he won't be able to get the other two boxes, but he's probably the only person to get this much in one sitting.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:43 PM
You left the cafe. What else could could you do in the town or was it time to leave?
NajoYesterday at 11:44 PM
-Oh, no. It was time to leave. Good thing he got his soda refilled!-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:45 PM
You left for route 29...
#route-29
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:46 PM
Route 29:
This forest-like route is a route filled with trees and different paths. There is a lot of tall grass in the area and cliffs and ledges around the area, in fact, one wrong turn and you're looking down over a part of the route or groups of trees.
A group of 6 spearow roamed the grass along the path towards Cherrygrove city.
Exits:
North: Route 49
West: Cherrygrove City
East: Newbark Town
NajoYesterday at 11:48 PM
-Hiro left New Bark Town with a backpack full of goodies that he won from the arcade machine. Good souvenirs! He's proud of himself for winning so many, even if it made all of his money go away. However, he could probably sell these cool looking items for something at the Pokemart.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:50 PM
The spearow looked up at you as you passed by. One of them squawked to the other. They looked at your heavy bag on your shoulders.
The birds flew off into different directions, hiding in the trees...
NajoYesterday at 11:53 PM
-He continues to walk along down the path happily. He's such a happy boy that doesn't deserve anything bad to happen to him.-
-Things have finally looked up in his life. His parents tortured him badly as a kid and never allowed him to have fun, but now he was getting into college, away from his parents.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:54 PM
The spearow began to dive from different directions, trying to claw at your bag!
NajoYesterday at 11:55 PM
-Hiro sees that the Spearow are suddenly flying towards him. His eye goes wide and he gasps loudly.-
"H-Huh?! O-Oh no!"
-He then begins to make a mad sprint through Route 29, trying to get away from the 6 Spearow.-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:56 PM
You failed to escape and one of them tries to peck at you!
It rushes...
NajoYesterday at 11:57 PM
-SIDESTEP-
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:57 PM
It...
The spearow's attack missed!
NajoYesterday at 11:58 PM
-Hiro isn't going to stop running. He's being attacked by POKEMON! For no reason! Oh no, maybe coming out to New Bark Town was a mistake!-(edited)
ZekeRefYesterday at 11:59 PM
...You managed to barely escape in time as a talon almost grazed your shoulder.
You quickly escaped to Cherrygrove City!
ZekeRefToday at 12:02 AM
Cherrygrove City:
Cherrygrove City is a city surrounded by forest and a lake that is at the west of the area. There is a main area of the city where most shops and buildings are as well as the peaceful outskirts were people tend to live near forest-like areas.
A man stood outside the pokemon center, looking for any passersby that would care to listen to him.
There was a small off-shore island that could be accessed by a small boat and there was a lab somewhere in the town apparently!
Exits:
North: Route 30
East: Route 29
NajoToday at 12:03 AM
-Hiro rushes in here and nearly falls over. He slows down before leaning over to hold his knees, breathing heavily.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:04 AM
You made it out alive surprisingly! It was dangerous to travel without a pokemon!
NajoToday at 12:06 AM
-Poor Hiro... He wanted to cry. That was horrible! Those Pokemon just suddenly ganged up on him and tried to hurt him! Who knows what could have happened if he didn't escape?-
ZekeRefToday at 12:07 AM
They probably would have made off with your bag. That's what they seemed to want! Good thing you escaped and they didn't follow you!
NajoToday at 12:08 AM
-Hiro didn't know that's what they wanted. All he k new is that they attacked him.-
-It takes a few minutes for him to catch his breath.-
"T-That...That w-was horrible.."
-He's really shaken up about it.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:10 AM
The man in front of the pokemon center spots you and walks up to you unaware of what expired moments before."Welcome! You came from New Bark Town? Would you like a tour of our City?!"

NajoToday at 12:11 AM
-Hiro looks over to see the man approaching him. He's a bit hesitant on answering, or even being near him. After all, stranger danger. Then again, he doesn't want to be mean and say no. Just look at how enthusiastic he is about it.-
"O-....Okay."
ZekeRefToday at 12:15 AM
"Great! Cherrygrove is the safest City in Johto, I love our place its beautiful when the trees are in bloom!" He besides to guide Hiro around the city.
"This is the pokemon center, you can heal your pokemon or take a break and rent a room. They have vending machines inside if you're hungry or thirsty.
"Here's the pokemart, you can buy or sell almost anything you can think of as long as it's not rare. They even sell clothes at some of the marts! How convenient is that?"
They walk past the rows of houses, towards a unmarked building."This is Professor Teak's lab I guess, it isn't much to look at but he gets the job done."
"Thank you for being so patient with me, no one ever cares to stop and listen. I have a gift for you..."
NajoToday at 12:18 AM
-Hiro was brought through the entire tour. Huh, well that actually wasn't so bad. It was a nice breather from the horrifying event back in Route 29.-
"I-I don't understand why... I thought it was nice and informative..."
"W-Wait, a gift?"
ZekeRefToday at 12:19 AM
"Kids are always in a hurry these days, not too long a boy about your age pasted through here and didn't give me the time of day."
The man proceeds to pull out a pair of running shoes for Hiro."For you!"
[Color/Style] Shoe: A Shoe that are made for the average person. +1HP x 2
NajoToday at 12:20 AM
-Hiro gasps in surprise.- "A-Are you sure?!"
"S-Shoes are expensive...!"
ZekeRefToday at 12:21 AM
"Nah, don't worry! It's worth it, I love showing my pride for my city and you were such a good listener!"
NajoToday at 12:23 AM
"T-Thank you so much, sir...!"
-He loves them! In fact, he changes into them right then and there!-
ZekeRefToday at 12:24 AM
Your new shoes are looking pretty snazzy!
With that said, the man was happy someone listened and the boy liked the shoes, he left to return to his spot by the center.
NajoToday at 12:26 AM
"These are really comfortable.." -Hiro states to himself as he stretches in them.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:27 AM
They probably needed to be worn in so hopefully the blisters aren't too bad as you travel!
You could go to the pokemart to sell items or you could check out Professor Teak's lab. Maybe you could explore the off-shore island even...!
NajoToday at 12:31 AM
-Well, first thing's first. He has no money on him, so he needs to sell his items. He heads to the Poke mart.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:32 AM
You enter the pokemart, seeing a couple with their small child shopping by the clothes section and a worker stocking the shelves as you walk in...
NajoToday at 12:34 AM
-Hiro walks up to the counter.- "U-Uhm, hello?"
ZekeRefToday at 12:35 AM
The worker stocking the shelves rushes over and slides behind the counter."Hey, what can I do for you today?"
NajoToday at 12:36 AM
"Is...Is it okay if I sell some items, sir?"
-He takes off his backpack and gently lay sit on the counter.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:37 AM
"I don't see any problem in that, show me what you have!"
NajoToday at 12:38 AM
-First, he places the nugget down, then the stardust, then the rose incense.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:46 AM
"Let me see..." He inspected each of the three items."I can give you 7,500 for all of that together. How does that sound?"
NajoToday at 12:46 AM
-HOLY MILTANKS! He only had 2,000 to start and now he's getting that much? That's perfect! A huge smile spreads from ear to ear.-
"Y-Yes, sir!"
"T-That sounds great!"
ZekeRefToday at 12:47 AM
The shopkeeper took the nugget, stardust and rose incense from the student."Glad we could come to an agreement. Is there anything else you need?'
He handed Hiro 7,500$. Have he ever held that much on his own? it was his money, not his parents or anyone elses but his own.
NajoToday at 12:51 AM
-Cha-ching! Hiro's NEVER had this much money before! This is incredible! He puts it in his backpack and grins.- "N-No thanks, I'm going to browse. Thank you, sir." -Hiro then bows politely before walking off into the store.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:53 AM
Anything you could think about buying was held in this tiny store. There was a section with clothing...Gear...Assist items...Pokeballs...Stones...Held Items....TMs and HMs...
NajoToday at 12:53 AM
-Clothes? Interesting. He walks over to see what kind of clothes they have for sale.-
ZekeRefToday at 12:55 AM

NajoToday at 1:10 AM
-These items look really nice, although he should save his money in case he really needs it.-
-Happy and content with the amount of money he made, Hiro exits the store.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:11 AM
You left the mart...
It began raining, sprinkling a few droplets as you exited...
NajoToday at 1:14 AM
"Wh- ...Oh no, is it going to rain?"
-Sadly, he doesn't have an umbrella.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:15 AM
Could've bought one but it started lightly drizzling.
Where to next?
NajoToday at 1:15 AM
-The Pokemon Center, since he needs a roof over his head.-
-And it's the closest building to him.-
-So he quickly heads over to the building before heading into the entrance.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:17 AM
You could see a girl playing in the rain, her marill following behind as the umbrella less girl splashed into a puddle next to you as you approach the center.
"Oops! Sorry!" She ran off as your new shoes became soaked. Time to enter the center with your socks squishing against your shoes!
NajoToday at 1:22 AM
-Hiro smiles as he watches the girl play around in the rain with her Marill. But then she splashes and the water gets all over his shoes. Hiro gasps. Noooo...! Those are brand new! He got those as a gift... He watches as the girl and her Marill run off.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:23 AM
They were shoes! You could place them next to a fire type or a flying type to see if they would they them. All on their own it might take a while as you enter the pokecenter.
The pokemon center was a little crowded, the boy from New Bark Town was arguing with a blonde girl at a table. There was a backpacker feeding her butterfree some poffins.
An older gentleman getting a room key from the nurse so he could rest his bones from his travelling as his grandchild pulled him along.
There was a girl waiting in line behind a girl to use the PC system, yacking on her phone.
There was a single nurse behind the counter, healing pokemon and giving out room keys.
NajoToday at 1:30 AM
-Oh dear. He didn't like crowded places. Hiro thought this would be a place for rest, but it's actually quite the opposite right now. Maybe he could get a room... Yeah, then he'd have peace and quiet. Hiro approaches the front desk.-(edited)
ZekeRefToday at 1:31 AM
The nurse looks busy at the moment as the elderly man is signing paperwork to get his roomkey..."I'll be right with you!" She looks tired but smiles.
NajoToday at 1:31 AM
-Hiro nods. He's very patient. He can understand that she's dealing with a lot. It's a tough job...-
ZekeRefToday at 1:32 AM
The television in the center was playing the news channel...
A reporter was on TV.
"Just in, there appears to be a horrible storm sweeping over Goldenrod City, sightings of something flying through the heavy winds."
(edited)
NajoToday at 1:33 AM
-Hiro looks up to the T.V. and gasps. What?! That's his city! With a concerned expression, Hiro continues to watch the T.V.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:35 AM
The reporter is standing in front of an empty street, the radio tower behind her. In the stormy clouds you could see a dark shape move and a low rumble heard in the background as lightning strikes the antenna and the channel goes blank.
The boy from new Bark Town was watching as well after he stopped arguing with the girl he was sitting with."Oh shit...what was that?!"
The room had fallen quiet...
NajoToday at 1:38 AM
-Hiro's heart skipped a beat and his breathing had stopped when he saw the lightning hit the radio tower and the channel going blank.-
"W...What was...?"
ZekeRefToday at 1:39 AM
The channel remained off the air as everyone quietly whispered to themselves of what could be going on. The nurse had finished dealing with the person in line in front of Hiro and now she was free.
NajoToday at 1:40 AM
-Hiro blinks and shakes his head. Everything is fine, surely... Yeah, it's just lightning, right? Optical illusions and lightning. Hiro moves up to the counter.-
"U-Uhm, hi... May I please have a room?"
ZekeRefToday at 1:41 AM
The nurse pulled out the paperwork for Hiro to sign."You'll have to return the key in the morning unless you ask for another day when you wake up. " She explained as she pulled out Cherrygrove Key A to give to Hiro.
The nurse changed the channel with the remote next to her, flipping to another news channel.
"We would be expecting some heavy rain near Goldenrod and Azalea, not too bad in violet city or Cherrygrove. This weekend expect the clouds to go away and the sun to come out and play. Going to be in the high 60s tonight and the high 70s tomorrow afternoon." The weatherman droned on.
NajoToday at 1:44 AM
"T-Thank you..." -He nods before beginning to sign the paper work.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:45 AM
The nurse handed Hiro the key."First door down the left hall. Do you want me to heal your pokemon as well?"
(edited)
NajoToday at 1:49 AM
"I-I don't have any Pokemon..." -He replies.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:50 AM
"Pardon me! Sorry, we get some many trainers pasting by I assumed you were one. Unless you're here to get a starter from Professor Teak?"
NajoToday at 1:52 AM
"S-S-Starter?" -Hiro stutters more than usual when he's asked about this. His mind goes back to the thought of what would happen if his Mom and Dad figured out he got a Pokemon. He was be IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!.-
ZekeRefToday at 1:58 AM
"Yes, our very own Professor Teak is supported by the pokemon association although he's an alolan man. He will give you a pokedex and starter if you ask nicely."
NajoToday at 2:01 AM
"Uhm...T-Thanks..." -He nods before taking the room key.- "Have a g-good day and...and don't work too hard."
ZekeRefToday at 2:03 AM
The nurse smiled and nodded, going back to her computer and working on the system. There was a fat chansey waddling down the hall walking past you. Now what?
NajoToday at 2:04 AM
-Hiro is going to head straight to his room for peace and quiet.-
ZekeRefToday at 2:06 AM
You enter the first room, turning the key. In Goldenrod they had sliding keycard for the pokemon centers but in Cherrygrove they still used keys.
The room had two bunk beds on either side with fresh, clean blue sheets on them and a table under the single wide window.
NajoToday at 2:08 AM
-First thing is first, he takes off his shoes and socks and puts them off to the side.-
ZekeRefToday at 2:09 AM
You lay them out to dry in the corner.
Soft raindrops splattered against your window but the shades and curtains blocked your sight from seeing the water, only hearing it.
NajoToday at 2:12 AM
-He puts his backpack down to the side of the bed and plops down into the bed.-
-He's going to rest for now.-
ZekeRefToday at 2:14 AM
You close your eyes as you were tired from having travelled all day and the weather was too bad to go out exploring without the proper gear! Good night! You could hear soft roaring from outside, it was far away but travelled across the area of Johto.
