Chapter 2: The Jungle

Vesuvius awoke in the morning to be underneath a large tree in a jungle canopy. "Wha….Where am I….. I don't live in the forest….!" she said sleepily. A Totodile walked up to her, holding a small woven bowl with water and a basket full of berries. "Hi!" The Totodile said cheerily. "My name's Pompeii. What's yours?" Pompeii asked her. "M...my name? I...It's Vesuvius." She stuttered, eyes wide with fear. "Well, at least you've woken up. I'm sure you're pretty hungry, right? Here, have these berries. And a drink, too. We've got a long walk ahead of us." He said, pushing the bowl and basket towards her.

After eating, Vesuvius stood up, stretching. "Now that you're finished eating, we can get a move-on" Pompeii said. "Where are we going?" She asked him, puzzled. "We're headed for the Pokemon Pilgrimage HQ. But to get there we are gonna need to go through an old, stone dungeon underground. And, just to warn you, there have been some major earthquakes lately. Some Pokemon live in there, and they might attack. I'm sure it's just the pressure from the earthquakes, but…" he paused, with no followup comment.
