Haruki shrugged at his question about why Spitfire would be angry. She raised an eyebrow at his question about the town before Pewter city, and she shook her head answering, "I don't remember a town before Pewter City, other than Pallet Town."

She smiled at his comment after his question, and she followed after him (calling Tsunami and Walnut to follow them) after making sure this area was marked with a star on the map. She used the map to help guide their way to Pewter City. Soon enough, he stopped and posed his next question. She widened her eyes slightly at his point. After thinking about it for a moment, she answered "Hmmm...Maybe the trainers heard about the events in Pewter City and are staying clear, and maybe the wild Pokemon can sense the shadows somehow and are also trying to stay clear?"

Haruki narrowed her gaze and she commented "I think I see Pewter City up ahead,"
