Jessie: *smoking* Pidgeotto, you need to relax. You've been on the prowl for battle for a long time. Haven't stopped since we left Burbank. I don't know what it is that you see up there while flying... However why not stick close and just rest on my shoulder and rest your wings a while. You need it more than you may realize.

It was only a moment later that she made over to where there was food and grabbed something to chow down on. Jessie went for some Pizza and as she had her pizza... She made sure that she fed her pokemon and gave them a good meal.

While eating...

Jessie: Want to listen to some music while we rest and eat?

Her pokemon nodded...

Jessie: You got it. Let's hear the radio. Listen into some music.

She turned the radio on and they began to listen...

James walked around the area, his primary Pokèmon partner at his heels. They were exploring the different shops and whatnot in the area, as Vermont didn't really have too shops. Not like this state did, anyway. Sure, Vermont has it's perks, such as the fall foilage, which Riolu loved playing with the fallen leaves, but Vermont lacked what most states took for granted.

"I always knew that Vermont was a small state, but I guess that I never realized exactly how small it really is." James chuckled to himself after he spoke. The man soon paused, realizing that Riolu wasn't closely following at his heels. 

"Riolu, where did you..." James started to ask where his Riolu went, and soon caught a glimpse of his Riolu disappearing into some bushes. 

"Riolu!" James called, letting out a frustrated sigh. His Pokèmon was easily distracted sometimes, and this was one of them. James started to follow Riolu, and he soon caught up to his Pokèmon.

"Riolu!" The Pokèmon exclaimed, pointing at a woman that was smoking a cigarette.

"Come on, Riolu. We just ate lunch at a restaurant. You can't possibly still be hungry. That, and I'd rather not second-hand smoke." James said.

Riolu shook his head, and pointed to the woman again. While Riolu's aura abilities weren't fully developed, they were developed enough for him to read the woman's aura. Riolu could tell that something wasn't right.
