# Chapter 10 Pewter City Part 1
Author's POV
Ash, Serena, Misty and Pikachu finally found their way to Pewter City.
Ash ran on top of a rock to get a better view of the city.
Wow, it's Pewter City.
Misty said excitedly.
We finally made it.
Serena said before sighing. Knowing that they can rest for a short while made her happy.
Pewter City is gray, the color of stone. This city has always been famous for stone.
A mysterious voice said.
Ash looked slightly further from where he was sitting, only to see a man sitting on the ground.
What the.. Who's this old guy?
Ash asked Misty and Serena.
Never met him.
Misty said.
I don't know.
Serena responded.
The name's Flint, and you're sitting on some of my merchandise, kid.
Said the mysterious man.
Oh, sorry.
Ash apologized.
Ash then noticed a few rocks inside a couple shelves.
You sell rocks?
Ash asked.
They're Pewter City's souvenirs.
Flint said proudly.
He then noticed Pikachu and Vulpix looking rather tired.
Misty has a strange feeling around Flint. The feeling that he's up to something.
Your Pokemon look worn out. I think we should go to the Pokemon Center.
Flint suggested.
The four walked to the Pokemon. As they walked inside, they were greeted happily by Nurse Joy.
Huh? Nurse Joy?
Ash said, confused.
Yes, I'm Nurse Joy.
She confirmed.
But, this isn't Viridian City. This is Pewter Citty.
Said Ash.
The Nurse Joy in Viridian City is my little sister. I've heard nice things about all of you, very nice.
Nurse Joy stated.
Thank you.
They said in unison.
Have you seen that poster?
Chansey then extended her hand, signaling Ash and Serena to give her their Poke Balls.
Ash tried looking for said poster. Fortunately, he found it quickly.
Ash had his eyes focused on the part of that says " Pokemon League Regional Championships"
Five minutes later,
Ash then receives all of his Poke Balls from Nurse Joy. Pikachu jumps back on his shoulder.
Serena, all your Pokemon have been checked too.
Ash called out.
Coming.
Serena said as she was running towards the front desk. She then received them from Nurse Joy.
Thanks for telling me, Ash.
Said Serena.
Do you mind if we eat lunch now, Serena? I'm kinda feeling hungry.
Asked Ash.
Okay. I'll just call my mom. I'll be right back.
Serena's POV
As I was walking ip to the phone, I accidentally bumped into someone.
Oh, sorry. Are you okay?
He asked.
The impact wasn't that painful. It took me only a few seconds to recover. I looked at who I bumped into.
It was Manuel. He move in a year after I met Ash. Since Pallet Town wasn't really that big, all of the kids really got to know each other quickly.
Manuel's/My POV
Serena, is that you?
I asked the honey blonde girl.
Yes. It's been a while, Manuel. What have you been up to?
Serena asked me.
The usual. I've been traveling for six months. I've already reached the minimum amount of badges, so I've been taking a break.
I responded.
So, how are things going between you and Ash?
I asked, getting closer to her.
Well, we've been doing good.
Serena said.
So, have you told him how you feel yet? I know you like him.
I asked her. She was red as a tomato.
How long have you known about that?
She said nervously.
Ever since I met you both. You were always blushing even if a person just mentions his name.
I teased.
Anyway, can you excuse me?
She asked, obviously trying to change the subject.
She approached a phone, dialing a number. A person's face appeared. I recognized that face. I was Grace, Serena's mom.
Serena's POV
How are things going, Serena?
My mom asked.
We've been doing well, mom.
I responded.
My mom then noticed Manuel walking near me. He seems to have noticed her looking at him, causing him to go near me.
Manuel's POV
It's nice to see you again, Ms. Yvonne.
I said respectfully.
I could say the same thing to you, young man.
She said.
I've heard you've been staying in Vermillion City for a Rhyhorn Race a few weeks from now.
I said.
That's right. If you make it, would you watch the competition too?
She suggested.
It would be my pleasure.
I responded.
By the way aren't you kids suppose to have dinner by now? And I know a certain someone who would really love that right now.
Grace said, winking at Serena.
Serena then puts a finger underneath her chin, thinking of who her mother was talking about.
She then realized who that person was.
ASH!
Serena screamed.
I forget I told him to wait for me
Serena panicked.
I'm sorry, mom. I'll being seeing you.
Serena said as she was walking away from the monitor.
Alrught, honey. Stay safe.
Said Grace before her daughter was out of sight.
By the way Manuel, can you do me a favor?
What is it, Ms. Yvonne?
I asked.
Can you watch over both them for me? I know they'll do well, but can you watch over them for me? Just to make sure they don't get too " intimate".
Grace said.
Alright then.
I said nervously.
I ran to the cafeteria, thinking that they'll be there.
I still can't believe already been a year since I wrote the first chapter. Right now, I just finished writting chapter 32.
