Rory had been in the middle of talking with Orianna when George interrupted him. Noting the condition that Devastator was in, the older trainer quickly produced a bag from the back of the jeep. 

[color=0054a6]"Lay him on the ground, George!"[/color] While the boy complied, Rory searched through the bag until he produced a pink piece of Pokémon food. Moving the food over towards the Bagon's mouth, Devastator sniffed the air and bit down; swallowing the block in one bite. In seconds, the poison marks vanished from Devastator's face and the little dragon was bouncing around as though nothing had happened. With a sigh of relief, Rory fell back against the jeep. 

[color=0054a6]"Pecha Berry laced Pokémon food. Cures the effects of poison just as well as the real thing."[/color] Turning to George, Rory gave him a sterner than usual look, [color=0054a6]"You're going to have to watch out for things like that in the future if you want to make it as a trainer. That goes for you too, Orianna. If I hadn't been here, you'd have had to run back to Mercer..." Taking note of the Pokeballs in the youths' hands, Rory smiled. "But onto something more positive. Congrats to you both on capturing your first partners![/color]

Rory pushed himself upwards and casually tossed Rufflet's pokeball in his hand. [color=0054a6]"With that out of the way, you're one step closer to becoming full-fledged trainers. If you want to look around the route a bit more, we have a few hours before we have to be in Hesperus City. I want to be there before it starts to get dark and you two still need some battle practice before you can challenge the Overseer."[/color] Noting the enthusiasm on their faces, Rory gestured back to the route while he pulled his new partner out of his ball to meet the rest of his team. 

Meanwhile in Hesperus City:
A young girl stood by the gates to the city, looking out across the Mercer Foothills that made up Route 1. She had long platinum blonde hair and was dressed in a similar pink getup to what Norah the Overseer typically wore except hers was clearly designed for a younger woman. The sun was just starting to set over the horizon, lighting up Mts. Calagon and Tiamat in brilliant golden hues. Gripping a love ball in her right hand, the girl felt her heart skip a beat as she fantasized about the coming travelers. [color=ec008c]"I'll be seeing you soon... Rory."[/color]
