While that whole battle was disappointingly easy I was still in a fairly good mood as that was my first trainer vs trainer battle. Would have preferred more of a challe I was also aware that I was not in the areas that truly skilled trainers might be found. While it is true that one teically challehe gyms in any order there was a sort of tradition about which gym was challe a time. The first was Rustboro city gym led by a hereditary gym leader woman my age named Roxanne.-

  She specialized in rock type pokemon and had been trained from a young age to run the gym by her predecessor. Traditionally hers was the first gym to be challenged in order to earone badge. After her was by traditioalburg gym but with Norman taking it over the order was shuffled a bit and Dewfym led by Braas actually slightly older tha twe who specialized in fighting type pokemon. Then was the Mauville gym led by the only eion leader still active Watson who was seventy seven and specialized iric type pokemon.-

  If it wasn't clear by this point the traditional path ression followed the games with the exception of the sed and fifth spots being in different pces. The path I was taking for the league was the traditional o the route I took to reach the gyms in that order was heavily skewed to let me experience pces and things differently than the games. Iron town for example simply did in the games and was o see for me. My destination was a week from here and was again a new pce called orchard town.-

  I didn't stop walking after my battle ended and was already out of the town after colleg my payment before Rose or that guy came bato the ter. I released Vul and Gaia while I walked and we vanished into the dista wasn't a spontaneous choice or anything like that as I already pned on moving out the moment I got paid to begin with. It was certainly rude though and I was well aware of it , I simply didn't care. I didn't mind being courteous when necessary but as I will likely never return to this town or see anyone I met there again I didn't feel like it mattered , I was wrong apparently.-

  The reason I say that was that no more than five mier my pokemon and I heard the sound of heavy and fast footsteps approag us from the dire of the town. fused I watched as a Dodrio kicked up a trail of dust behind it as it booked it straight at us. Vul was less than ied in dealing with whatever was going on here and fired off a warning fme thrower at the charging bird. Dodrio was an iing pokemon in that it was basically a bigger version of an ostrich with the sole exception of that it had three fully funing heads.-

  How that worked I wasn't sure but it did so whatever I guess. In any case at least one of those three brains decided that not running at us was the best move screeg to a halt all movement. I sighed when Rose jumped off the back of the bird pokemon alongside a member of the Jenny , both of which looked pissed. "What the hell is wrong with you!?" the Jenny member yelled as they got closer on foot.-

  Vul stepped forward with a snarl towards the two women at which point it seemed to dawn ohat it was not in the frie mood at the moment. I 't say that I didn't get WHY either as for about a week now it and Gaia have been cooped up in their balls and the moment they get some fresh air this whole drama happens. Don't go thinking Gaia was not also pting murder as well as I tell you for certain that she was , aura was real useful like that.-

  It's sort of hard to stay blisteringly angry in the face of two much more powerful creatures gring at you with murderous i practically oozing from them. I have to give it to these two dies though as they only faltered for a brief moment before stomping their way fain. Ohey got within speaking distahough Vul and Gaia made it clear that there would be dire sequences if they so much as twitched wrong. "You could have killed us with that attack!" the Jenny said angrily. "If Vul wanted you dead at that time we wouldn't be talking right now." I said calmly.-

  That seemed to cool the Jenny off immediately as she realized that I robably correct. "How dare you go and humiliate that poor man and then leave without saying goodbye!" Rose spoke up venomously. "First Tank has literally two moves , that's it. What was I supposed to do , not use them? Sed of all that guy has the worst sense of challenge ever. Holy art of me screams 'pick me! I'm a great oppo' to a rookie trainer? Finally is that we aren't friends , in fact we aren't even acquaintances. We met literally a week ago and barely talked during that time." I shut doart of her statement calmly and effitly.-

  Rose recoiled at that vicious sp of reality and even the Jenny looked unfortable after hearing it. "You don't know me at all and I don't know you , we are basically strahat have ied briefly. I don't o say goodbye to you or anyone else in that town. Even more I won't ever likely e back to that town so you will probably never see me in person again , so with that uood why are you here?" I spoke calmly but I khe words stung at her.-

  How could it not whehing I said was true and reasonable. She may have formed some strange sense of friendship to me over the st week but I had no reason to do the same. I was leaving in short order from the moment I set foot iown after all. Rose defted and teared up before rushing back to the Dodrio. The Jenny looked like she wao se for making Rose cry but one look at my calm and ung expression told her it ointless.-

  They left after that but I paid them no mind at all as I tinued my journey with my pokemon. We covered quite some distaer that before needing to stop for the night to make camp. I turned in my item tickets that I had six of at this time and got two scope lens , a sewing kit , tm 86 grass knot , a mental herb , and finally a premier ball. To be ho with you I was rather disappointed with this set of draws. The tm was certainly the rest retty muot special at all in any way I even got a repeat of an item I already had , twice!
