He got up and picked up his bag, running out the door. >Viridian City was only a few miles away and he didn't want to wait >another minute. After a tiring walk of an hour, Aswan finally made it to Viridian City. Fumbling out a map, he moved his finger around the paper. Then he put the paper back and began a short walk to the pokécenter. A few minutes later, Aswan arrived at the pokécenter. Looking around partly confused, he sat down in a chair. There was a front desk, a restaurant, a place to stay for the night, and a lounge. Aswan pulled himself up and began to drag to the restaurant. "Bulba, bulbasaur, bulba!" Bulba ate his food happily. Aswan looked up then picked up his bowl, feeling something going to happen in his gut. They both ate their food and paid their bill. Having eaten, Aswan left the pokécenter to the park for a little exploration. Many kids were all around them, each talking to each. Suddenly a kid came up to him and said "Lets have a battle." "Sure, I guess." They both stood a few inches apart then threw their pokéballs. "Bulba! Go!" "Spearow, lets win!" Both pokéballs hit the ground and relased the pokémon within. Aswan mumbled to himself, "Oh no, Bulba has a disadvantage. I better be careful." "Spearow, Peck attack!" The little spearow rose into the air, then dove down using its beak to ram into Bulba. "Bulba, Tackle!" Bulba lurched out at spearow and narrowly missed. Bulba was getting ready for a second tackle. "Spearow, Fury Attack!" Before Bulba could react, spearow dove at Bulba and repeatly bashed Bulba with its claws. Bulba began to collapse. "Return." A red beam hit Bulba and drew him back into the pokéball. "Good match." Aswan began to walk back to the pokécenter when he realized that he would need much more training to really defeat Lance. Even without the disadvantage, Bulba was no match. He held the pokéball in his hands, and began to run to the pokécenter. "Here Nurse Joy, please heal my pokémon." "Sure thing, he'll be better in no time." Aswan sat down in a chair, thinking what he would do next. He pulled out a piece of metal, and began to tinker with it. When he got the scrap into a box shape, he heard his beeper go off. He walked to the desk, and received his pokémon back. He then left the pokécenter, and began to set out for the Viridian Forest. TBC...
