[quote=Mage20GG] 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. [/quote] Erin looked around unimpressed by the fountain and the buildings from the looks of it they weren't all to big on rattata, everyone seemed to freak out when he ran to introduce himself and one lady even screamed as he ran up and ran away. Rattata soon returned with his head turned to the ground and a weak voice only for machop, who was admiring the city began to play with the rodent and before long he was back to his normal self. Erin looked to the gyrados and smiled. That sure looked strong, He wanted to catch one for his own but that seemed stupid not with any normal pokeball. Looking down to his mankey in the pokeball, he wasn't ready to let it out for good. He wondered what would have happened without rosia, she was clearly the leader if the group, but he was sure that he was the protagonist. Though in reality he wasn't a very good trainer with only three pokemon and one being untrustful but in his world he was the best around. "say what's the gym leader like around here.
