A while later, Aerie, Bob and Raffy were walking along some old forested
trail alongside Route 36. With the pressures of the Unown behind them for
now, the three of them leasurly walk down the path.
"So now what?" Bob asks, strolling calmly.
"Don't know. Find the others I guess." Aerie says, a bit unsure.
There was a couple of minutes of silence as they all continued walking. Then
an inspiration struck.
"Hey, I read in the Violet City Pokemon Center that there was a comic book
convention in Olivine City. While I don't read comic books, the costumes and
fun-loving atmosphere is just the break we need." Bob said, almost proud of the
idea.
#Hey Bob, that's almost a good idea. Only problem is it started TODAY!#
"So, conventions typically last three or four days." Bob explained. "There's still time."
"Ah why not." Aerie shrugged. "Beats waiting for them Rockets in the bush to
attack us.
"What Rockets?"
A rather powerful looking Hyper Beam tore through the trees, and sure enough, two
thugs in Team Rocket uniforms fell out of the trees, landing in a crumpled heap on the
ground. With the three of them paying no heed to the Rocket's well-being, they
continued on their way.
"Feel better?" Bob asked.
"Yes I do." Aerie said, dusting off her hands for dramatic effect. "Let's go to that
convention. It'll be fun, plus we may find a stray shiny Unown!"
Elsewhere, in some different bushes, an Unown watches the three of them. It appears
to be enjoying it's freedom, but at the same time it yearns to be stronger and more
powerful. It's a bit on the shiny side, and shaped like an M. It's Ehm, the shiny Unown.
Currently, it's lack of strength is proving to be a blessing as none of the travelling
party appear to notice or care about it. Deciding not to make a move until it decided
what to do exactly, Ehm stick to sneaking from bush to bush.
