Hey, guys. Once again, LONG TIME since previous update, but going to college in September (IBC, baby! WOOOOAAAAHHHH!), more new stories (including the sequel to Lost Tears of Altomare), finishing another story, R&R, PM, and Enjoy!

Chapter 6

Note 1; when concerning Celebi, I will use Celebi when she is in her Pokemon form, and Jason's mother/Janet when disguised.

Jason, Janice, and Celebi disguised as Jason's mother arrived at Route 29 a few minutes after leaving Professor Elm's lab. Jason was the first to enter the Route, and was running through the grass as if he had never seen it before. Janice turned to Jason's mother and asked, "Is he always like this?" Jason's mother laughed at the sight of her son, enjoying himself.

"Not always, he's never really left his home."

Janice looked back at Jason, who was climbing a tree, and asked, "Which town is that?"

She paused for a moment, and responded, "Azalea Town." Jason jumped down from the tree and looked at the sky. He raised his arms, closed his eyes, and fell backwards. He laughed, almost losing his breath, and looked at the clouds.

"Hey look," he said, pointing at one of the clouds, "right there, is a Bellsprout."

Janice looked up at the cloud and said, "I don't see it."

Jason looked at her and said, "Try looking from down here." Janice did as instructed, and laid down on the grass, next to Jason.

She looked at the cloud again, and said, "Nope, don't see it. I see something else." Jason turned his head to see Janice was looking at it upside down. "I see, a school bell."

Jason looked back up and asked, "What's a school bell?" Janice sat up and looked at Jason.

"You don't know what a school bell is?" Jason shook his head no, and Janice continued, "Its a bell that lets people know school started."

Jason rolled onto his side and asked, "What's school?"

Janice laughed a little, and said, "What do you mean? Haven't you been to school before?"

Jason shook his head, and said, "I've never seen anyone else like me before. Like you."

Janice was about to ask something else when Celebi called out, "Hey you two, Cherrygrvoe City is over here." They looked to where she was and saw the town.

Jason turned to Janice and said, "Race you there."

"You're on."

The two raced to the town, neck and neck. Jason pulled ahead and made it to town first, laughing at his success. Janice bent over, hands on her knees and panting, and asked between breaths, "How...did you...run...that fast?"

Jason laughed a little more, also short of breath, and replied, "I'm just naturally fast. Mem-er, Mom, said I'm almost fast as a stampeding Tauros." He laughed a bit more and looked at the town around him.

"Hello there," a voice said from behind them. They turned to see a man behind them, probably in his late 50s. "I can see you're new here. Would you like a tour?" Jason immediately nodded his head, and Janice soon followed after.

The man showed them all around Cherrygrove, from the Pokemon Center, to the path that led to Route 30, to the sea, and finally to his house. "Well, thanks for the company. In exchange, I can upgrade your Poke-Gear so it has the map feature."

"Cool, thanks," Janice said. She handed her Poke-gear to him, and he turned to Jason.

Jason was looking around, and the man asked, "Well, can I upgrade your Poke-Gear for you?"

Jason was silent and Janice asked, "Do you have one?" Jason shook his head no. The man was silent for a moment, then went into his house, not closing the door. A few mechanical sounds came from inside, and a few moments later, the man came back.

"Here you are," the man said, giving Janice her Poke-Gear back. "As for you young man," he said, turning to Jason. He turned and picked up a package, and gave it to Jason. "That's a new Poke-Gear my granddaughter sent to me. I already purchased one and have no use for it, so take it."

"Thank you, sir," Jason said. He opened the box and pulled out the Poke-Gear. He turned it on and scrolled through all the functions, amazed at the technology. He looked up from the Poke-Gear as the man nodded and said, "You're quite welcome. It's already got the map feature installed, so you're all set." Jason thanked the man again, and they decided to head back to the Pokemon Center. They went in and walked up to the front desk. Janice rang the service bell and Nurse Joy came in from the back room.

"Good afternoon," she said, bowing a little. "What can I do for you?"

"We'd like to have our Pokemon checked, and a room for three." Nurse Joy took their pokeballs and placed them into a machine. She began to type something into the computer, and asked for their Trainer Cards.

"Trainers stay for free, and it will be 25 Poke-yen for non-Trainers." Jason paid for the room, despite her objections, and Nurse Joy asked if they would be participating in the league.

"The Pokemon League? You mean that competition where you gather eight badges and you face the strongest trainers in Johto?"

Nurse Joy nodded, and Janice said, "Not me, I'm not exactly the battling type. What about you, Jason?"

Jason thought for a moment and said, "Okay, why not?" Nurse Joy typed on her computer, then said, "Okay, you're all set. The first town you'll want to go to is Violet City, northwest of here past Routes 30 and 31." Jason thanked Nurse Joy and she handed him the key to their room, and returned their Trainer Cards and pokeballs.

Their room was on the second floor, first on the right. The room was bigger than a regular sized room, capable of holding two bunk beds on one side of the room, as well as a couch and TV opposite them. Jason immediately called top bunk, jumping onto the top. He set his stuff at the end of the mattress, and began to fiddle with his Poke-Gear. Janice and Jason's mother sat on the couch, and Janice whispered to her, "I have a question about Jason, Mrs. Gilman."

"Oh, please call me Janet."

"Alright, well I've noticed that he sometimes acts a bit..." she looked back at Jason, eyes glued to the Poke-Gear.

"Different?" Janet finished.

Janice nodded and said, "Not that there's anything wrong with it, but it's almost like he's never heard of modern society before."

Janet smiled a bit, and replied, "Well, in Azalea Town we tried living a simpler life. We do use things like stoves and vacuum cleaners, but no TV or video games." Janice was dumbstruck. 'No TV?', she thought to herself. 'No games? How could anyone live like that?'

"It's a long story, I'm afraid, and its about," she looked at her wristwatch, and said, "8:48, so we need to get some rest."

She said the last part so Jason could hear, and he snapped out of his trance, putting away the Poke-Gear. Jason took his bag and went into the bathroom so Janice and his memma could change. He took a quick shower and changed into pajamas, then called through the door, "You done?" Janice replied with a yes and Jason exited the bathroom. Janice and his memma were already in their bunks, Janice under his, and he released Typhon. He climbed up to the top bunk and let Typhon crawl onto the pillow, and laid down. "Night."

"Night."

Regrettably, this is all I could come up with. It seems my ideas are flowing elsewhere right now, but I will try to continue writing. I know a lot of people are looking forward to the story merge, but please be patient. R&R, PM, and-
