We had been wondering around for a whole day, bumping into Ursarings, Onixs, Golbats, and Graverlers. After defeating the Indigo League I had set my mind to go past the guy at the entrance. Every time I wanted to go, he would stop me and say I wasn't ready. Sometimes I can really regret my stubbornness. After rubbing it in his face that I had permission to venture in, I didn't stop to think and get ready. Now my Typhlosion and I were somewhere on the second floor freezing to death. I was wearing some black capris, a light red jacket, and a yellow and black cap. My ma always joked that I looked like a walking 'bolsa de cheetos que pican' (except the orange, I hated that color).

"It's fucking cold up here Snapple." I said as I vigorously rubbed my arms. We were on Mt. Silver with nothing to cover up with and barely any supplies.

All the walls were moist with water; cold air blew through the cracks. Pokémon grunted and yipped, their calls bouncing from all around, occasionally poking their heads from around large boulders or corners. Under my feet rocks crunched lightly and there was an occasional splash from puddles I didn't see. Snapple would whine when his paws would get wet, but he kept the flame on his back burning brightly and close to me for warmth anyway. He wasn't his usual hyper self with the high altitude and temperature this low.

"Hey friend, do you wanna go back? I can't stand it anymore. And I don't think that we are ready to fight the Pokémon at the top. Also, we are not well equipped." I blew into my hands.

Snapple nodded with a grunt. I smiled at him and took out an escape rope from my backpack. I held onto it tightly and gave an end to Snaps. Quickly we were warped to the entrance of the mountain.

"Aye guay, no mames, I get so dizzy with this shit. Couldn't they have done something so we wouldn't have to spin? Dayum!" I bent over, hands on knees, to catch my breath. Snapple put his paw on my back and barked.

"Ha-ha. Tryin' to cheer me up buddy?" I got up and scratched him behind the ear. "I don't give a fuck if people think that you're not cute anymore. You are the most adorable Pokémon ever in my eyes!" he blushed when I kissed his nose. "but you know what? That Silver guy, he is kinda cu-" I stopped myself. What was I about to say?! O sweet Arceus, lead me down the straight path. Think Gold…big soft boobs, red hair, white porcelain skin, snappy attitude-

Snapple barked and brought me back to earth. "Heh, no that guy is a dick, but a cute rival."

He gave me a questioning look. "Err, I wonder what happened to that dude. It was fun battling him" Snapple nodded. "That Feraligatr of his was something else hmmm?" I nudged him. He nodded. "… … wanna go find 'em?" I suggested without thinking to much into it.

Snapple barked, gaining that usual energized look in his eyes.

"Alright!" I called Snapple back and let out Gerardo, my Crobat. "Hey friend. Can you fly me too…" I got out my Pokégear and checked my map. The last place I had been before I journeyed to fight the elite, "Blackthorn City."
