Gray sighed, rotating his shoulders as he entered Viridian City. It was a long trek through the forests and mountains, but he had finally made it fully into his home-region. He ran a had through his own naturally gray hair, taking out a few leaves, before unslinging his black messenger bag from off of his shoulder, and quickly looking through it's items. A few potions, some packed lunches, water bottles...ah.
"There." He murmured silently to himself, grabbing his Poke-Dex. As the boy began walking towards the Pokémon Center, he studied the Pokémon that he had come across on his way here. There were quite a few species. A Pikachu, some Nidoran he planned to catch relatively soon, and a few grass and bug-types. Not bad.
"Welcome to the Pokémon Center!" Nurse Joy called out, hearing the bell chime as the boy entered. Gray glanced up at her, giving her a stoic nod before taking out a gray and black Poke-Ball. He silently handed it to the confused woman, and she quickly went to healing the Gible inside. Once done, she gave the Poke-Ball back to Gray, whom clipped it onto his belt and gave her a nod of thanks.
"Come again!" She smiled, and Gray exited the Center.
