Chapter Two
The First Night
The sun began to move behind the trees as the trio walked to Oldale Town and the three talked… sort of, the green jacket boy, who as it turns out was named Arthur and was the professors son, was very, very talkative and all Marshall could do was mostly nod his head. The hooded girl hadn't a thing during their walk, even when wild Pokémon attacked to which Arthur sent out his Seedot, nicknamed Dotty to defend them, soon afterwards Arthur pointed out that they would need to set up camp for the night and because of Arthur's good experience being in the outdoors whenever he went out with his dad on expeditions, he was able to sort out everything, except for the fire to which they had trouble with as such Marshall decided to ask the hooded girl for help. Marshall did not know exactly how to ask her for help, so he simply poked her in the arm several times to which she merely blinked several times, looked around utterly confused and then asked "Um, where am I?" to which Marshall responded, "You're on Route 101 to Oldale Town." "Um, okay who are you?" she asked sternly "Ah, um y-y-you see I-I-I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, uh, uh, uh, sorry, sorry, sorry." "Hey Marsh' you okay" Arthur asked with concern "What is going with him?" "Back off, he's autistic." "Auto-what? Isn't that a move?" "No, that is Autotomize and like I said before, back off he's panicking." After about 30 seconds Marshall had calmed down enough to which Arthur explained to the hooded girl that they were told that everyone had to go as a threesome and since she was the only one left after everyone else had run off, so they took her along with them. After the hooded girl had absorbed this, she was accepting of being a part of the group until they reached Lavaridge Town to which they would split, Arthur agreed to this, and Marshall stutteringly asked for her name to which she responded "Flannery." Arthur to slightly relieve tension, asked Marshall to help him with dinner and told Flannery the reason why she'd been poked was that they needed help with the fire, Flannery muttered "OK." got out her Pokeball and released her Pokémon, a Slugma named Mag who blew a little flame onto the fire which started to burn quite nicely. After about 10 minutes the 3 of them ate their food mostly in silence and when they finished they went into the tents and fell asleep knowing that a new day was going to dawn
