"White! Use Power Snow on the ground!" Crimson cheered. White jumped back and used Powder snow on the ground in front of the charging miltank. As its rollout slipped, White tackled it.
"Miltank is unable to battle. Victory belongs to the challenger!" The Proctor announced.
Whitney put Miltank back in its pokeball and walked up to Crimson. She grinned and handed him the Plain Badge. As Crimson and white walked out the door; Crimson spoke, "I wonder how are old friends are? We're keeping our pledge, aren't we White? Thats my third badge!" Crimson had obtained badges from Falkner of Violet City and Bugsy of Azalea town.
Crimson sat at a bench in Goldenrod city and opened his town map. White took a nap beside Crimsons leg.
"I think the next place we should be headed is Ecruteak City, White," Crimson chuckled, just now noticing White was sleeping.
"Stop Thief!" Crimson heard a thin man yell. A girl dressed in black was running away from him. Crimson got up and ran after the thief. White was still sleeping back at the bench. He jumped at her and grabbed onto the man's bag. She turned to look at him and he got a glimpse of her face as the bag and himself fell to the ground. She kept running.
Was that Grey! Crimson thought to himself, Couldnt be...
"Th-Thank you young man." The man panted heavily as he ran up to him with White trailing along behind him.
"Here's your bag. My name's Crimson" He said as he got up.
"Come with me, will you please" The man asked.
They walked over to the bench Crimson was sitting at earlier. The man sat down and said, "My name's professor Elm. Do you by any chance know Auburn?"
"Yeah! How did you know?" Crimson said with shock.
"He was always talking about his friends and the pledge that you made when you were younger."
"hehe, How's he been?"
"Good," Professor Elm said, "He has graduated and is a Legalized Pokemon Researcher now."
"Thats Great!" Crimson said, excited.
"Howabout you Crimson? Don't you want to become World Champion?"
"Yeah, I just began my journey though. I have three gym badges all from Johto."
"Here let me see if I can help you." Proffesor Elm dug through his bag, "Here."
Professor Elm handed Crimson two pokeballs.
"Umm..." Crimson hesitated.
"The purple one is a Master Ball. It can catch any pokemon without fail, use it wisely. The Other is a water pokemon called Totodile. He's one of the starter pokemon for new trainers. Seeing as how you never got a starter pokemon, I think you deserve him."
Crimson put away the master ball and looked at the other ball. He released Totodile who immediately jumped on Crimson. "Todo! Totodile!" It said. White joined in, tackling Crimsons feet.
"Thank you Professor Elm!"
"No problem, Crimson. Fulfill your dreams and may we meet again." Professor Elm got up and walked away.
"I think I'll call you Todoh!" Crimson laughed.
"C'mon guys lets go!" Crimson followed by White and Todoh began running down the road towards Ecruteak city, unknowingly being watched by the thief from earlier.
