A New Beginning For A Beautiful Rose

Chapter 3: Saving a Totoidle

Jessie traveled through a dense forest that became foggy the farther and longer she walked through the woods leading to New Bark Town. She looked at the map in her bag to see that she was still going the right way.

'Alright, it looks like this is the right way to New Bark Town.' She thought, studying her map before putting it away back in her back.

She continued making her way to New Bark Town while keeping her eyes out for any Pokemon she might be interested in catching.

"This forest is so dense and foggy. I just I get out of here soon," Jessie sighed, looking around carefully so she didn't trip or fall while walking. "I don't want to get hurt while making my way through this fog," She said as she continued to be extra careful as she town what seemed to lead down a hill past a stream of water.

Jessie let out a sigh of relief as she finally got out of the foggy forest and spotted a sign that said New Bark Town, the town of new beginnings.

"So New Bark town just this way," She said, reading the sign."Shelly, come on out," She said, grabbing her Squirtle Pokeball from her skirt pocket and sending it out Shelly.

"Squirtle?" Shelly cried out, looking up at her new trainer [What going on, Master?]

"Hey, Shelly, this is New Bark, where we will be registering for the Pokemon league. Start today are the journey truly begins," She said, picking up Shelly and holding her in her arms.

"Squirtle, Squrit," Shelly said. [Sounds lovely; I can't wait.]

"Well then, let's get going," She said, taking off towards the Pokemon Center to register for the Pokemon center.

After a 20-minute walk, Jessie and Shelly arrived at the Pokemon Center. Jessie walked over to the counter to talk to Nurse Joy about registering to enter the Johto league

"Hello, Nurse Joy?" She asked, noticing that nobody was behind the counter.

"Chansey," Chansey cried out as she appeared from behind the counter.

"Ah Chansey, where Nurse Joy?" Jessie asked.

"Chansey," Chansey said, pressing an orange button and making a small T.V screen appear.

"Welcome all trainers. I'm Nurse Joy," She said.

"Huh?" Jessie questioned, looking at the screen.

"I'm over at the Elm Laboratory right now, and I'm sorry I'm not here to help you, but I'll be back at the Pokemon Center no later them two o'clock this afternoon," She said as the screen with black and disappeared again.

"Looks like we have to wait," Jessie said, looking over at the clock."It's only twelve-thirty in the afternoon," She said, walking as she walked over to the seats to wait.

"Might as well sit down and wait, I guess, Shelly," She said, sitting down.

Meanwhile, Ash, Misty, Pikachu, and Brock are seen walking through the foggy forest toward New Bark Town for Ash to register for the Johto League.

"Pika, pi, Pika," Pikachu cried out, pointing up ahead. [Hey Ash, that tree looks familiar.]

"What, Pikachu?" Ash asked."Yeah, that branch looks familiar."

"Ash...you mean..." Misty started."O-oh no, we've been walking around in circles all day!" She shouted, getting on the grounds on her knees."You said you knew where you were going, and we're totally lost now! Where do we go?!"
