Episode 3: On the road to Violet City!

"It looks like the forest is ending, and is that..." Samantha started. "Ecruteak City!" the two of them both exclaimed as they started running down the slowly darkening path under the setting sun.
"I wonder where the Poke'mon Center is," Vincent quietly asked himself as he nervously looked around on the street they were on. "It should be on the end of this road" Samantha replied trying to comfort Vincent. "I wish I had your optimism." "What was that?" a fuming girl said as she glared at Vincent's back. "Uh... nothing..." "It better be nothing or else..." "Great she's mad at me..." Vincent again quietly mumbled as he sulked under her glaring eyes. "Ah there it is!" Samantha exclaimed, her anger seemingly gone. "Good its getting dark, maybe we can get in before curfew." Vincent said as he started to run towards the Poke'mon Center. Samantha only sighed and ran after him.
"Welcome to the Poke'mon Center, you kids sure are out late, your lucky you got here before curfew." the familiar voice of Nurse Joy who greeted the two at the door. Vincent smiled while Samantha did the talking," Nurse Joy, do you think you could look after our poke'mon tonight?" "Of course, just leave them with me and they should be all rested by tomorrow morning." "Thanks," Samantha responded while continuing, " Do you have a room we can stay in also?" "Hmm... I don't know, we had a lot of trainers come in today and I don't know how many rooms are left, let me check." Samantha only nodded and sat down next to Vincent, who took the liberty to find an open table while the other two were talking. "Think there will be any rooms open?" Vincent quietly asked. "I doubt it, the way she was talking I'd be surprised to see a booth open for sleeping in." Vincent only smirked and pulled his backpack off of the ground, "I got a blanket if you want to borrow it for tonight, cause I think we'll be sleeping out here." Samantha smiled, "No thanks, I have my own, thanks for the offer though." About that time Nurse Joy returned, "Well amazingly we do have one room open, it's a smaller one but you two can comfortably fit in it." "Thanks," both Samantha and Vincent replied as they climbed up the stairs and found their way up to the room.
"One bed!" Vincent yelled as he walked into the room. "Well that means one of us is sleeping on the floor and I think I know who its gonna be." Samantha replied with some amusement in her tone. "Fine" Vincent gave up and threw his blanket on the hard wooden floor. Samantha started to feel a little guilty right about now, so to ease the mood she started a conversation, "You know, I'm from Cherrygrove City." Vincent 'seemed' to catch on, however, ignorance is extremely abundant in the boy "Do they have a gym there?" This caused Samantha to fall over anime-style and to hit him over the head, "I was trying to start a conversation about 'ourselves' but you just are pretty dense sometimes." Samantha said to him in a tone a lot harsher than she wanted it to be. "Jeez, sorry, next time you try to talk to me I'll just shut up," Vincent pretty near yelled as he plopped himself on the floor. Samantha tried to stifle a sniffle of hers but Vincent noticed, "Uh... sorry, please don't cry, I didn't mean it." "No it was my fault, I'm the one who should be apologizing," but she was cut off by Vincent "why should you apologize? I'm the idiot, please don't cry." Samantha sighed a bit and nodded, "I just wanted to find out about you." "I know, I should have understood what you were starting there, let's try this again" Vincent smirked as he sat down next to Samantha. "First off, call me Sam, Samantha gets a little annoying after a while." "Ok Sam, I'm from Olivine City and I just started my poke'mon journey." Vincent started in a teasing tone. Sam just shook her head and sighed, as the two of them went on about each other for an hour or two.
As the rising sun seeped into the poke'mon center's window, Samantha was again the first one up. "Vincent?" she quietly asked as she saw him sprawled out on the floor, she sighed and went downstairs to the lobby.
"How did you sleep?" Nurse Joy asked when she saw Samantha walk downstairs. "Actually well, is there anything for breakfast?" "Of course, the cafeteria is back there" Nurse Joy replied as she pointed to a door in the back. "Thanks," Samantha half-heartedly said as she walked through the door.
After another hour, both Vincent and Samantha were ready to head back on the path to Goldenrod, which also branches to Violet City. "How far away is Violet City" Samantha asked as she slumped along the path behind Vincent. "Come on Sam, its only a few hours walk, not like its that far." "Your kidding, right?" "Yep, its gonna take a day to get there," Vincent smirked, "Well at least I'll be able to get some training in, and maybe I'll catch another poke'mon." Samantha only sighed and started to walk next to Vincent.
"A poke'mon, I wonder what it is," Vincent exclaimed as he put in his poke'dex card. "Magnemite, The magnet pokemon, magnemite has an unusual ability to float in air which is still unexplainable." "A magnemite, cool," Vincent pulled out a pokeball, "Zubat go!" "Zubat!" the bat screeched as it materialized in the air. "Zubat, use screech." The zubat only nodded in response and let out a massive screech that sent the magnemite flying back a bit, "Zubat, now use your bite attack" As soon as magnemite started to reorient itself, it was hit by the zubat using bite on it. "Zubat finish it off, leach life" Vincent yelled as the zubat sucked whatever energy the magnemite had left out of him. "Pokeball, go!" Vincent yelled as he threw the pokeball at the magnemite, which didn't even struggle. "Wow, good job," Samantha said as she walked up to Vincent. Vincent nodded and recalled zubat, putting both of them up, "Let's go."
After another hour or two of walking, the two of them reached the field that signified where the path to Violet City was. "Well, Violet City isn't far now," Samantha said as she looked at the sign. Vincent nodded and started down the path with Samantha running to catch up with him. "What's your problem?" Samantha asked Vincent as she stopped in front of him. "Nothing, I just want to get to Violet City before dark." "Were not going anywhere until you tell me what's wrong." Samantha said as she started tapping her foot. "I just want to get to Violet City." "Fine," she harshly replied starting to walk down the path, "You coming?"
Vincent nodded in response and quietly started after her.
"What's that?" Vincent questioned as the approached a field with a small camp and several caves spread around the field. "This is the Ruins of Alph I believe," Samantha replied with a frown. "Let's take a look around" Vincent replied sounding a little happier than he was earlier that day. Samantha nodded and followed him to the campsite in the middle of the field. As soon as they got to the campsite they noticed something wrong, "Where is everyone, was it," Vincent was interrupted by an earsplitting scream coming from one of the caves.
