[color=deepskyblue] Edward picked through his pockets. "Well, I managed to get my hands on a map of the region from that boat ride," he pulled out a folded paper in bad condition, but still readable. "I bet Pine has a map he can lend you unless you want to share," he waved the paper in front of him and began to open it up. Reading the map, he found his starting destination and the path he needed to take towards the first badge. 

 "I believe this is Cape Town? Not much of a town if you ask me, but there is a small area that we'll have to pass to get to the gym. Clover Hill is the next place and it looks like it's just a ten minute walk from here," Edward pulled the map away from him in excitement. "I actually wasn't hoping to walk a huge distance on my first day." He chuckled under his breath.

"I actually have no idea of the pokemon. I haven't fought in a gym battle yet so I don't know what to expect," he coughed to the side. "I dislike losing so I waited until my pokemon and myself were ready before I had them jump into something they were unprepared for." Edward threw a thumbs up sign. "I think my team and I actually have more of a chance than we had before."

 He began walking out the back door of the laboratory. "I can imagine myself on why I would want another pokemon. I only have two; you have three at the moment," he laughed. "Although, I think I can battle any types considering my pokemon differ from each other." 

Edward looked out and the destination was ten minutes away, but there was a gigantic hill. "Well, that hill is going to at least take another ten minutes to climb."[/color]
