Well I only went out for an hour today to volunteer because it's so hot and humid out, so I'm updating on time. I'm probably not volunteering next week, unless this heat spell goes away.

By the way, next chapter was one of my favourites to think up!

Disclaimer: Pokémon, along with any people, places or things from it are not mine, nor do I claim it to be. The only thing I do own is myself and the dream this all started from.

'Finally,' I thought walking toward the exit of Pewter City, 'I can get going somewhere.'

Of course I was deterred from leaving again when a man in a lab coat ran up to me, "Oh, Jenn!"

"Oh, another distraction," I remarked, "What would you like from me? Do I need to go somewhere else?"

"No, no," he said, "I'm glad I managed to catch up to you though! I'm Professor Oak's aide. I've been asked to deliver this, so here you go."

I opened the package to reveal a new pair of shoes.

"Everyone else got a pair too," the aide said, "can you deliver them for me?"

"You can hold on to Dana's, Samantha's and Paula's shoes," I told him, "They'll pass through here once Dana's battled Brock. I'll take Ashley's and Alicia's though. They've already passed through here."

"Thanks," the aide said before I changed into my new shoes and walked away.

After walking a few steps something in my right shoe felt weird. I took it off and found a note sitting in the heel.

"Dear Jenn," it read, "Here is a pair of running shoes for our beloved challenger. Remember, we'll always cheer for you! Don't ever give up! From Mom, Dad, P***, and T**.

"Wait a second," I said, "What's the point of this in real life? I could run before I put these shoes on." To prove this fact to myself I took my shoes off and ran around in a circle, "This makes no sense."

I sighed, "But when does anything here make sense?" I muttered before finally heading on to Route 3.

The first part of Route 3 was quite a busy journey.

I battled Janice, a Lass that insisted I was looking at her. Of course I was looking at her, I had to battle her! She had two level 9 Pidgeys.

Next I battled Bug Cather Colton who said he saw me in Viridian Forest. I knew I hadn't seen him because I didn't meet anyone with the name Colton in Viridian Forest. He had two level 10 Caterpies and a level 10 Weedle.

Then I battled Youngster Ben who went on about how much he loved shorts because of how "comfortable and easy to wear" they were. He had a level 11 Rattata and a level 11 Ekans.

My fourth battle was against a fairly normal sounding Bug Catcher named Greg, who had a Weedle, a Kakuna, a Caterpie, and a Metapod, all at level 9.

I then ran into another Lass, Sally, who also talked about me looking at her. She battled with a Rattata and a female Nidoran, both at level 10.

My last battle of the day was against another Bug Catcher, who claimed he had caught his Pokémon just now. That was impossible though since he used a level 11 Caterpie and a level 11 Metapod, both Pokémon not found in the general area.

By the time my final battle was finished my Pokémon had reached level 14 and it was getting dark. I walked a little ways further until I found a suitable patch of land to pitch my new tent.

My tent was much nicer than Doug's was; it had enough room for three people, at least, where as his tent really only had room for one to fit comfortably. The tent was dome shaped and had a rain fly, which I didn't bother putting on, since it was such a nice night.

I sighed contently, looking at my finished beauty sitting perfectly on the flat ground; I knew I would be getting a much better sleep tonight than I had last time I slept outside of a Pokémon Center.

I climbed into the tent and blew up the single air mattress and placed my sleeping bag on top of it. I grabbed the flashlight out of my bag and shined it up at the tent ceiling, helping to add a bit of light to the entire tent. I quickly changed into my pyjamas and took my watch off.

Not really very tired I decided to play with my watch for a bit. I knew the button in the bottom left corner changed the watch between normal and timer modes. I decided to try all of the buttons, and started in a clockwise motion, starting with the top left. I clicked it in and the numbers on my watch lit up for about ten seconds. Then I clicked in the top right button. The numbers on my watch changed to the numbers of the date. The last button I tried was the bottom right button. As I clicked it in my watch heated up like it was going to produce the glass screen. The watch did produce the screen, but it was different. Rather than a battle screen the "Pokémon" screen out of the menu from the games was displayed.

"Ah," I said, "I knew I would be able to find this somewhere."

I decided to see if the glass panel worked as a touch screen. It did, and since I had touched Bulbasaur's icon it took me to Bulbasaur's summary. I decided it didn't need to give me the options of switching my Pokémon around or doing things with items since that was easy enough to do already.

The first screen showed Bublasaur's level, number in the Pokédex, name, type, original trainer, ID number, nature, and where I had met him. My eyes rested on the nature of my Bulbasaur, which was Docile.

I clicked on the second dot at the top of the screen which took me to the skills page. Here it showed me Bulbasaur's stats, experience information, and ability, which was overgrow.

I clicked the last dot, which took me to the screen that showed his moves. I noticed that the PP wasn't displayed by the names of the moves. That was odd. I wondered if moves had infinite uses, or if the Pokémon would just refuse to use the move because it had tired itself out. I figured the second idea was probably correct. I knew if I was asked to tackle someone a certain number of times my shoulder would start to hurt. I figured that the number of times wasn't set, since there was no number of times displayed, but it probably would be close to the original PP of the move.
