After Breakfast the next morning, Nils, Ren and Firenze left the Pokemon Center and continued traveling to Seafoam Town only this time, they went down hill. It proved to be a lot faster and easier going down the hill than up the hill and the trio eventually made it to the bottom. At the bottom of the hill, it started to get cold but the snow clothes the trio received the previous day kept them warm. After a bit more walking, the three trainers came across a deep river with a strong current.
"This must be the river that Daisy was talking about," said Nils.
"But how do we get across," asked Ren.
"There should be a bridge we can use around here somewhere," said Firenze.
"But how do we find it," asked Ren.
"I can show you where it is," said a mysterious voice who turned out to be Jessie who was walking toward the trio.
"Mom," said a surprised Nils, "What are you doing here?"
"I heard you took the cruise that would take you to this island," explained Jessie," "So I decided to take the family jet and come here to watch your next Gym Battle."
"Were you the one who got us these snow clothes," asked Ren.
"I did," answered Jessie, "Anyway the nearest bridge that crosses the river is this way so please follow me," and the trio began to follow Jessie until they arrived at a bridge.
"So how's Dad doing," Nils asked Jessie as they crossed the bridge.
"He's doing well," answered Jessie, "He"s mainly working on his bottlecap collection."
"That sounds like him," said Nils.
The group of four then finished crossing the bridge and continued walking to Seafoam Town which ,according to Jessie, was only one day away.
"I think we should have lunch here, suggested Jessie as the group went by a tree.
"That's not a bad idea," said Firenze and the group then started having lunch.
"Hey Jessie," said Nils, "Nils told Firenze and me that you and James once worked for Team Rocket before fighting against them." "Could you explain what made you change sides?"
"Well," said Jessie, "I suppose I could explain." "James and I were once average Team Rocket members until one day, we decided to follow Ash in order to steal his Pikachu." "However, we failed again and again which could have ruined our jobs but we told Giovanni that we took out his competition even though in reality, it was Ash that did it." "One day, Giovanni learned that James and I were stealing credit for ending the competition and he fired us out of rage. "After getting fired, I felt lost and confused because I didn't know what to do with my life." "However, Ash and the heroes that had already joined him in fighting Team Rocket convinced me that even though I had originally chosen the wrong path, I can still go on the right path." "After that, we saved James from getting married to a woman he hated and showed his parents the error of their ways." "We then helped all of the other heroes stop Team Rocket once and for all and had been friends with all of the heroes ever since."
"Woah," said Ren.
"Interesting story," said Firenze.
"Yeah it is," said Nils, "Mom and Dad used to tell me that story all the time."
"You never could get enough of hearing it Nils," said Jessie.
A few minutes later, the group finished lunch and resumed walking.
"So I see you obtained a Blitzle and a Snorunt while the Pokemon you already showed me all evolved," said Jessie to Nils because she saw all of the Pokemon at lunch because they were eating too.
"That's right," said Nils.
"I can easily see you winning the Pokemon League with that team of Pokemon," said Jessie, "But you must still try your best."
"I will Mom," said Nils.
After several hours of walking, the sky began to change colour which meant it was getting late.
"I suppose we can set camp here," said Firenze.
"I agree," said Ren and the group set up camp.
"We should be in Seafoam Town by tomorrow morning," said Jessie," let's have dinner and then go to sleep."
The group then had dinner and then went to sleep but while the others slept, Nils stayed awake for a little while because he was nervous of having a Gym Battle while his mother was watching and then after a few minutes, he went to sleep.
