Oh yes! Sapphire only has two days left until her father comes after her! Do you think she'll make the deadline? Well, you guys are just going to have to read to find out. Oh, and Corocoro has leaked a bit more and I like how the new Pokedex looks for ORAS. It reminds me of my first Gameboy Advanced before I got a Gameboy Advanced SP. I still have and them even though I don't use them as much anymore. Oh, and did you see the reference in the last chapter? It makes me so hyped even more for ORAS! Enjoy guys! ^.^

Route 111 was very long but since we couldn't travel through the deset we had to detour to Route 112 which was fine since it brought us closer to Lavaridge Town. The only problem was that we couldn't go through the Firery Pass since it was closed off and Mt Chimney's Cable Car was blocked off too by a huge rock slide even though there really weren't any rocks near to fall there. It was really odd, so the only way to get to Lavaridge now was to climb the steep ledges that lead up to the town. I returned Crimson back to her Poke Ball and sent Paige out so she could watch my back while I climbed. The ledges were really steep but I had no other choice since I only had two days left.

It actually wasn't too bad climbing up those ledges and it didn't take me as long as I thought it would. When I got to the top Paige flew out a bit to direct me to what you could see from the top ledge. You could see the desert, Mt Chimney, Mauville City, and even farther past Mauville. It was so beautiful, and somehow it made me think of that strong trainer. I geuss since my father was going to come after me soon most likely we were going to have to train like crazy in order to be as strong as that trainer. Where was he? With that kind of power, who knows.

"Hey Sapphire! What's on your mind?" Paige asked.

"Oh, I was just thinking about the strong trainer that beat my dad not too long ago before I started my journey."

"Could you tell me about it?"

"How about later, I really want to get to Lavaridge Town."

"Okay, I understand."

Paige flew on ahead as I ran right behind her and we reached Lavaridge Town in about five minutes. It was afternoon so I had a little bit of time to check out the place since this town was not only famous for its hot springs but it was also the herb heaven. They had all the herbs you could name of. Energy Powder, Lava Cookies, Energy Roots, and the famed Revival Herb, (a.k.a. the king of the herbs). I knew that Pokemon hated them but Crimson had a taste of some Energy Powder once and she said that she'd be able to stand it.

I bought a few Energy Roots and Revival Herbs from the Herb Shop and then went to the shop where they sold Lavaridge Town's specialty, Lava Cookies, which are made from fresh Lum berries and some Heal Powder in order to make it more strong.

"Are you here to buy some Lava Cookies?" the Lava Cookie saleslady asked.

She was an old woman but I could see some red at the end of her grey hair.

"Yes,I'll take a dozen please," I said.

She handed me a bag of them and I handed her the money in exchange.

"I see that you are a trainer, then you'll be challenging the Gym Leader then."

"Yes, how'd you know?"

"Its easy. Only recently, young trainers like you have only come here to challenge my grandaughter so she's a bit overworked."

"The Gym Leader's your grandaughter?"

"Yes, and she's very strong. No one hasn't beaten her in a while. The last trainer who beat her had to rematch her."

"Why's that?"
