"Across the city, there have been multiple earthquakes happening." The news reporter said on the tv.
"Earthquakes? You hear that, Ree?" He asked his friend.
"I do hear it, Dee. They are actually stupid enough to think it's just 'earthquakes'? Well, do we need to crank up the power?" Ree looked at his boss, Synn.
"Not just yet. I want to see how this goes..." Synn muttered.
"Yes, sir." They said.
Thomas made his way out of the city. As he was going through the tunnel, he was called back.
"Thomas!" A voice yelled. Thomas turned and saw Patton, Roman, and Virgil.
"Oh, hey, guys. What's up?" Thomas asked.
"Can we come with you? We want to experience the Pokemon world with an experienced trainer such as yourself." Patton said.
"Hm..." Thomas thought for a moment. Sure, he would be behind Jon, but... making friends are more important than a rivalry. "Sure."
Patton's eyes sparkled even though they were in a tunnel leading outside.
Then the ground shook again and stopped after a few seconds.
"This can't be a coincidence," Thomas said.
"Yeah. These 'earthquakes' have been happening around the city." Virgil said.
"And they last for a few seconds." Patton looked worriedly at the ground.
"Which is why Logan is coming with you." A voice said. Thomas looked and saw Professor Banyan and Professor Cherry.
Logan tweaked his glasses. "I am to accompany you on your journey since it's not safe for beginner trainers."
"Yayyy! New friend!" Patton exclaimed.
"Uh, right," Logan muttered.
"Well, we should get going," Thomas said.
"Indeed, stay safe out there and be careful," Banyan said.
"Okay!" Everyone besides Logan and Banyan said.
