Aaron looked out the window and watched the new scenery fly by. They had driven to a port in Jhoto and had taken a boat over to Hoen. Aaron sighed and looked over at the cyndaquil sleeping on the seat beside him. He smiled lightly 'Well, I guess things could be worse' he thought. The small fire mouse stirred on the seat and stood up, yawning
"Hey Flint" Aaron said. The newly-nicknamed pokemon ran up his arm and jumped on top of his head. A few seconds later, a light snore could be heard throughout the car. Aaron sighed again "he sure likes to sleep" he mumbled. He closed his eyes for a second, and fell asleep too. When he woke up, Flint was running all around the car while Aaron's mom was trying to catch him and Aaron's dad was trying to concentrate on driving. Aaron laughed and Flint jumped up on his head. Aaron turned his head to face the window and looked at the mountain to the right of them. "What's the town that we're moving to again?" he asked
"Fallarbor town" His dad answered
"and what's that giant mountain right there?" Aaron asked
"That one is Mt. Chimney, and the one on the left is Meteorite Falls" his mom answered. Aaron looked to his left and stared at the mountain.
"I think I'm gonna head there first" he mumbled to himself. He continued to study the mountains until his dad announced:
"we're here!"
"Finally!" Aaron yelled "I can't wait to get out of this stupid car" The car came to a stop and Aaron jumped out, Flint right behind him.
"Aaron! Before you leave, you should call Professor Elm at the Pokemon Center!" his mom shouted
"Ok!" Aaron shouted back. He ran straight to the building with the red roof, and went to the video phones. Flint jumped on his head as he dialed the professor's number.
"Hello?" the professor appeared on the screen "oh! Aaron, I was hoping you would call, I forgot to give you your pokedex! Hold on, I'll send it over in a few seconds. The professor disappeared and moments later, a red pokedex came through the mailing slot. Aaron took it out and flipped it open. It showed all the information about him that he would need to register for the Hoen league.
"Sweet! Thanks professor! See ya!" Aaron hung up and ran off. He ran straight towards meteorite falls and got there a few minutes later. He stood at the entrance of a large cave.
"What do ya think's in there, Flint?" Aaron asked
"Quil! Cyndaquil!" Flint shouted back. Aaron laughed
"I guess we'll just have to find out. He took a deep breath, and walked in. When his eyes had adjusted to the darkness of the cave, he gasped. Surrounding him was a sparkling lake with a giant waterfall dumping water in. "Whoa…."
"BAAAAGON!!"
"Huh?" Aaron said "Flint, did you hear something?"
"Quil…." Flint said slowly. Aaron looked up and saw the head of a small blue pokemon with a grey thing that almost looked like its hair. Flint jumped off of Aaron's head, and the pokemon hit him right in the forehead. He grunted, then fell backwards, knocked out.
