Chapter Two

"Hang in there, buddy," the trainer pleaded with the injured zubat. Tears streamed down the man's face as he watched the zubat's blood seep into his own shirt. "Please! You'll be fine!" He yelled as her ran even faster to Lavender Town.

After a gruesomely long run, which in actuality only lasted a couple of minutes, the trainer was in the Lavender Town pokemon center and at the counter in a second.

"Nurse Joy! Joy!"

"Yes, what is it—Oh!" The nurse gasped as she took in the sight in front of her; a young man with a dirty face and bloody clothes cried as the zubat in his arms was dying.

"PLEASE! Help!"

"Of course! Come this way." Joy ran through a private door that led to the operating room. The trainer followed.

"All aboard those sailing to Lavender Town, the ship leaves in ten minutes!" The ship attendant reminded.

Professor had a knack for late, so he needed to hurry. Walking through the island, he waved to the little children and smiled at the ones who seemed to recognize him, the pokemon professor.

Soon enough, he found the little shop he was looking for, "Erica's Flowers." It was very small but understandably so being it was part of chain that had started in Celadon City.

"Oh, hello Professor, back again?" A bright smiled, cheery- eyed girl looked up from watering her flowers.

"Yes, hello, it's been a year since I was last here ."

"Same order, Sir?"

"Please," Oak said with a smile.

Again, the sailor's voice boomed through Cinnabar, "All aboard to those who wish to sail to Lavender Town!"

Oak traveled up the ladder and on to the main deck of the ship. He hung over the railing to feel the fresh air, the breeze ruffling his gray hair. As the ship departed, the professor turned away and walking to his cabin.
