I almost felt as though I heard something else from behind me, however, I couldn't see anyone behind me, so, I assumed it was just my imagination. I then hear Celes say that she was going to go shopping once we get to Scale City, and, after chuckling a little, I say "Yeah, go ahead, I'm not going to stop you, just don't follow me after we get there." I then whistle some tune as I head towards the city, with the trio of knocked out pokemon behind me. For some reason, Vine used to whistle this tune... he said something about how it 'reminded him of his roots' or something similar. It was a relatively simple tune, so it wasn't that hard to whistle along to it as I walked through this pleasantly warm plain. I almost lost my focus as another pokemon appeared, this time, it was a lillipup this time around, and it attacked with tackle, knocking me back a ways, and obviously hurting me somewhat. I then countered with vine whip, which didn't seem to be enough to knock him out. He then threw something at me, some sort of seed, apparently, however, I caught it, and noticed the weird design on it, which included a red X over a sort of eye shape. The seed's main color was black with the eye design being a bright green... was this an X-eye seed? It sure looked like one. [i]Good thing I wasn't dumb enough to eat this thing.[/i] I think as I put the seed in my bag... who knows, it may just come in handy some day.

I was simply awe-struck at the sight of the city as soon as I actually entered it. The buildings were huge, the pokemon were huge, and yet, it almost never seemed to be too much. The road was paved with some sort of cold, grey rock, which made it the worst part of the city. "Ah, good, we're here." Terra said to all of us as soon as we got here. She then added "Okay, I know you all want to see the city, so, we'll get one day to do that. Well, one day, and three thousand poke each, courtesy of my dad's rescue work." She then hands Hex, Josh and I the money, and looks off to the right. "See that giant hotel? That's where we'll all meet once it starts to get dark. They know me there, and I can probably get us all a room." she explains as she heads over to that hotel. Something about that hotel bothered me... the sign, more specifically. It had a picture of a Salamence and a sceptile for some reason... why a sceptile? I was convinced that there weren't any non-dragon types in the city, and yet, there it was... 'Chad and Terra's' the sign read... but wasn't Terra a mawile, and not a sceptile? Was there something she was hiding from us all these minutes? Something that she needed to keep hidden from everyone? Did that mean that Crater has a son-in-law that he never mentioned? Could they possibly have children? If so, does that make Crater a grandfather, already? She must have seen the look on my face, as Terra laughed, and said "No, I don't own the place, we used to sleep here a lot... and my dad rescued Terra, who again, isn't me, from some cave once before," she then simply continued on, chuckling as she walked towards the admittedly fancy hotel. I then stopped looking at the sign, and started to wander around town, wondering what I should spend my money on... after all, she gave all of us three thousand poke, and I'm sure that none of us have ever had that much before.
