The Mysterious Searcher

Rumor.

A groan escaped from your lips as you sat up. Out of Victory Road was the second worst place to set up camp. Oreburg and Snowpoint were fighting for first. You stretched gently and you took down camp and went into the center. You let your pokemon rest inside while you stayed outside in peace. As you grab your pokeballs, a familiar voice fills your ears.

"And this is why you don't look for a myth!" You turn to see the man from Canalave. Oh this would be fun. You go over and chuckle. He looked up at you and growned.

"Don't say it. You have the egg, don't you?"

"How's your life?" The man scoffed.

"I don't want to hear it."

"I could show you the egg." He laughed.

"You play well. But I don't think that you'll pass this next one. You just missed that failure." You sit across from him.

"We'll see about that." He raised an eyebrow.

"You want to try the Rumor of the Search?"

"If I can ace the others, who says I can't." The man scoffed as he started.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Rumor has it that there is a mythical Pokemon hiding near Victory Road. If a trainer fails to find its hiding spot, the entrance to the path closes until the next trainer comes."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"And it seems easy."

"But there's a trick..."

"Precisely."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The other rumor is that a mysterious girl will ask you if you could help her find the mythical. For some reason, she always surrenders early. She travels to the area near the hiding place, but then appears again for the next trainer."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A hum escaped you as he finished.

"If you're truly wanting it, that's for you to go after. Good luck." You smiled as you went out. You quickly took your backpack off and took out a box.

"Easy enough."
