Carter wlked down the road to Cerulean, only a couple feet behind Rosina. She was pretty perky, but that's what he'd come to expect from her. He looked to his left and saw a nice, clear blue lake at the base of Mt. Moon. He thought it would be a nice place to go for a swim, but wanted to at least get to the Pokemon Center first. He looked down at his hand. In it was a shiny yellow stone. A lightning bolt could be seen in it, and he smiled. It was a gift from his dad. One he would cherish for a long time. He put it in one of his bag's pockets, before catching up with Rosina. He smiled and pointed to her egg. "Where'd ya get that?" He asked. His own egg still sat in the incubator attached to his backpack straps. "You should get an incubator for it."

He looked forward and saw Cerulean, a large city, much larger than Pewter had been, and beautiful. Straight, white buildings, clean, even, white brick roads. Every awning, door, windowsill, roofing, and detail in a crisp, vibrant blue. It was as though the city was reflecting the clear blue sky and bright white clouds. At the center of town, he could see an enormous fountain depicting different kinds of water Pokemon. He rushed ahead, pulling out his Pokedex. He scanned the fountain, but the dex beeped, unable to register. "Must only work on real Pokemon." He said, mildly disappointed. He studied the fountain some more, seeing many Pokemon. Some he knew, others he didn't. A few stone Magikarp, Goldeen, and Seaking frolicked around the outside wall of the fountain, looking at the bottom of the fountain, through the gently bubbling water, he could see Horsea and Seadra, Tentacool and Tentacruel, Seel and Dewgong, all carved into the stone bottom. Around the base of the spout, there were alternating Shellder and Cloyster, above that, Staryu and Starmie, above that still, Slowpoke and Slowbro. On the upper pedestal, which was several feet in diameter, a Lapras sat gracefully, spouting water into the air. It's eyes were sapphires, and it calmly looked over the city square. Next to it on the same level was a giant ferocious Gyarados, contrasting the Lapras with it's angry expression. It's eyes shone blue as well, casting a protective stare over the city square as well. Carter was absorbed by it's beauty.
