The five of us continued traveling toward New York. We passed by some notable cities near the Turnpike and eventually crossed into New Jersey. SNT, who was the most impatient of us all, tried to figure out how long we had left until we'd arrive.

"It looks like a lot of people live there," SNT commented.

"Well, it is the largest city in America," I explained.

"That explains all of the density here." SNT pointed out the city on the map, looking at the legend.

The more I looked around, the more I realized there were a lot of Pokemon; I mean... many more than usual. I slowed down in case any deer came to commit suicide on my bumper.

"Hey!" Courtney yelled, disturbed by my musings.

"Oh... sorry."

Eventually, we approached Newark, or as I like to call it, discount New York. At that point, SNT knew we'd made it, as we could see across the river to the skyline of the city, tall buildings piercing the sky above.

"That city reminds me of Station Square," SNT mentioned.

"I think it was somewhat based on New York, according to Sega," Courtney added.

"What is this Sega you both keep mentioning?" SNT asked.

"SNT, don't worry about it. Let's just get into the city and get what we came for., I responded.

Kel and Rosechu, who were also looking around the area, were quite amazed. Across the river, it seemed like a different world compared to the side we were on, as it was more industrialized.

"This is completely different from CWCville," Rosechu remarked.

"Yeah, the city is more linear than this one," Kel added.

I turned onto the Lincoln Tunnel entrance to reach the city. Right when I started making the loop to enter the tunnel, I could see that something was off. The tunnel was flooded. Water came all the way up to the surface. I slowed down right when the water reached the car's tires.

"Is the tunnel supposed to look like that?" Courtney asked.

"What do you think?" I responded. "Well, that's okay. We have the George Washington Bridge we can cross instead. I think that's five miles up north here."

"Well, at least they built other ways to get in," Rosechu mentioned optimistically.

"Worst case scenario, we could swim across," SNT added.

"Last time you suggested that, SNT, we almost drowned due to Bubbles kidnapping us," I cautioned.

Courtney glared at me. "That was your fault! If you hadn't tried to do your so-called battle methods, then we wouldn't almost be in a perpetual tentacle porn."

SNT, Courtney and I cringed at that idea, but Rosechu and Kel had no idea what we were talking about.

"What are you all talking about? Bubbles did what?" Rosechu asked.

"Please explain; it's sounding a little interesting." Kel was getting turned on by the story.

We exchanged concerned glances, knowing we did not want to talk about what had happened. "Um... nothing, the less of Houston I remember... the better," I responded. I didn't want to think about what Bubbles wanted to do to us if SNT had lost against her.

I turned around and went back to the Turnpike, then headed north to the bridge. It wasn't that far away, so It was no big deal. But Rosechu was noticing something a little off. There were more and more Pokemon staring at our car. Not in a friendly way, either, but more like we were not welcomed.
