Meanwhile, on Route 117...
 A flock of Pidgey scurried from trees as a group of Seviper chased after them. One Seviper managed to smack a Pidgey with Poison Tail, knocking it to the ground. It let out a cry that only the most sensitive ears at the Pokémon Center would have been able to detect.
 Liam's Pidgeotto burst out of it's ball and shrieked. "Piggeot Geot!" It hollered. The Bird Pokémon, then took off toward the route. Liam ran after his Pokémon as he pulled his bike from his pack.
