Time to tackle this chapter! Hut one! Hut two! And-a-hike!


	Veridian was a very lively town. I always used to love going there during my journying days because it was so 
close to home. It was the first city I visited outside of Pallet town when I first started my Pokemon training. It was 
good to come back and take in the sights.

	We were all sitting on a bench inside the Pokemon center. Zach was talking with nurse Joy on board for the night.
I sighed and streched my arms, looking around. Max was asleep on May's shoulder, Brock was (I chuckled a bit at this) trying
to catch the eye of the nurses, Tracy, Misty and Gary were talking with Sabrina, and Richie was working with his Pokedex. The 
Pokemon were all being healed by the nurses.

	I looked up as Zach walked back. "Here are our rooms,"he said, passing out keys. "The women all share a room. Ash, 
Richi, Tracy and I will share one room, while Brock, Max and Gary share another. Let's all get some sleep, we have a big day 
of travling tomorrow."

	We all obliged, marching off to our rooms. "Thank you,"I said to nurse Joy as we passed. She smiled and winked. When
we reached the turn off at our rooms, Misty and I hung back. Zach smirked and gave me a glance that clearly said 'go get 'em,
tiger'. I smirked back.

	"Ash."

	I turned back to Misty. She looked concernedly. "Are you all right?"

	"Yeah,"I lied.
