[color=limegreen] And so the two trainer raced towards Shellville...[/color]

[color=deepskyblue] Edward wiped the sweat off his brow. He fished the map out of his inventory and gave it a quick read. "Says that we are almost there..." Edward told Xanthia. Looking up, he saw some buildings from a distance. "Over there! We're almost there!" 

Edward was prepared to quit; it has been a while since he had a break from walking. The previous boat ride to Toppe had made him lazy and unready for the walks ahead. He crouched down and rubbed his ankles to sooth the pain. "My feet are acting up, but I'm glad we've almost made it. Got to take the positive with the negative, am I right?" 

Ed kept glancing at the building up ahead. He couldn't make out much of them. The sun had already set and everything was pitch dark. His and Xanthia's eyes have well-adjusted to the darkness to see the path clearly. Although, it was still creepy to be wandering around in the dark. "I'm just ready to get out of this dark. I'm getting paranoid; I think the entire wild life is stalking us," Edward joked. 

 The rustling in the trees and bushes kept Edward on the edge. It was dark now, the sounds of bug pokemon and nocturnal bird pokemon rang throughout their surroundings. It was an eerie environment.[/color]

[color=limegreen] Edward had suddenly tripped over a rock. "What the-" He stumbled forward and looked back at the object. He glanced at the rock only to notice it levitating off from the ground. [i]Geodude![/i] It screeched.

 As if it was some strange chain reaction, two more pokemon had emerged from the dark fields of grass. A Houndour leaped out and landed next to the Geodude. It readied a stance and growled at the two trainers; it showed off its dangerous fangs and haunting eyes. The dog-like monster looked ready to strike. 

There was rusting behind the two trainers. A Mankey had appeared from behind. The pokemon performed a back flip and began punching the air around him. Strategically, the Mankey was blocking off the opposite end of road. This was an ambush, but too planned out for a bunch of wild pokemon. 

From a distance away, some more bushes were shaking. A person's head popped out of the grass. All that could be seen was a yellow bandanna wrapped around his forehead. "Listen up! Give the Geodude all of your belongings! We can do this the easy way, or the Houndour cooks you and the Mankey tenderizes. Your choice."[/color]
