Chapter 12
Having found a place to stay the night before, I gathered up any supplies that we would need when we traveled north of the Elite Four.
Not really sure what to expect, I put together a team that would help me get through Route 223.
Heading north of the city, I came upon a beach that would lead me and my team towards the Elite Four.
"Come on out, Lapras!" I said throwing a Poke Ball into the air.
"Lapras," it said shortly after coming out the capsule.
As she turned around, I returned Lily to her Poke Ball and then hopped onto Lapras' back.
I nudged her a bit to get her going forward. It wasn't long after that that we were off towards the Elite Four.
Looking back, I watched as the city slowly vanished on the horizon. Looking forward again, I could tell we had a long journey ahead of us.
For the time that passed, all I saw was open ocean and the vast amounts of Pokemon that were around as we slowly made our way through Route 223.
I thought it was wise to take all my notes when we got to Victory Road.
After what felt like hours, the Elite Four started to come into view. As we neared the Elite Four, there was one last obstacle that was in our path, going through Victory Road.
Lapras neared the shore and turned so I could hop off.
Turning towards her, I said, "Thanks Lapras."
"Lapras," she said in response.
I returned her to her Poke Ball and then turned around to face the next challenge.
I pulled out my notepad and jotted down all the notes that I took as we went through Route 223 and how life of other Pokemon existed in the open ocean.
Seeing that Victory Road would take a long time to get through, I began to strategize as what to do as I entered the last leg of the trip to Route 224.
Entering Victory Road, I saw how it was laid out and how it was a maze of bridges and pathways. Thoroughly looking around the place, I jotted down some notes and then put my notepad back into my backpack. Standing up, I looked around Victory Road and could tell that the way I wanted to go would be long and difficult to go through.
Making my way through the giant cavern, I eventually found my way out on to Route 224.
Looking around the area, I could tell that very few people have been here as well as the area had quite the view of not only the Elite Four, but a good view of the open ocean that was off in the distance.
As I made my way through the route, I looked around route at the scenery as it was undisturbed by the inhabitants of people.
It wasn't long before I went from walking on grass to walking on sand.
Stopping at the beach, I looked out at the ocean to see the waves crashing on to the sand. I couldn't help but take the time to take a break and look at the surrounding area.
'It feels nice not have to worry about much,' I thought to myself as I sat down in the sand.
Feeling the ocean breeze, I felt at peace once more.
'It feels good to get away from civilization and actually look at what we don't have,' I thought as I looked around the beach.
Getting up and bruising the sand off, I turned back towards the direction I was heading. I headed East for a little bit longer before I turned North to continue on my way.
The scenery on the route was pretty much the same old scenery, a hilly land.
Heading north for some ways, I finally made it to a look out that over looked the open ocean. From where I stand, I could see a distance land northwest of me. I jotted down some notes for my research.
Looking around, I found a rock that it looked like somebody took the time to polish it.
It seemed to stick out from the rest of the rocks as well as the rest of the area.
From what I could gather about the area, I looked back at my notes about a legendary Pokemon North of Route 224. I really couldn't figure out how much farther North it was before I would reach the place, but I could tell that it would take some time trying to locate the place in the vast open ocean.
Off the corner of my eye, something caught my attention. Turning to face it, I couldn't make out what it was.
Grabbing one of my Poke balls, I pressed the button on the capsule and slowly neared it not knowing what to expect from what I was about to face.
Nearing the area where I thought I saw the object...
"Tristain"
I couldn't help but wonder what it was that I was looking at...
"Tristain"
Pressing the button on the capsule, I placed the Poke Ball back on my belt and I kneeled down to get a better look at what the object was.
'It can't be,' I thought in astonishment. 'It's...'
"Tristain"
Looking up at Ari, I could tell that she was worried.
"You've been quiet all morning," she said. "Are you all right?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," I replied.
"Let's gets some lunch," she said.
"Right," I said.
