Evan smiled and returned all of his pokemon back to there pokeballs. "which way should we go?" he asked as he looked at Thorn.

"um..." she looked around the beach. "Howabout.... that way!" Pointing south down the beach.

Evan smiled "sounds like a plan to me" he said and arcanine startd to head down the beach.

Thorn looked at the passing sea. Wow, it really is pretty. she thought.

evan smiled as he saw her look out onto the sea. This must look like a picture out of a fantisy. A girl and a guy on the back of a arcanine running down a beach.

Thorn looked back at Evan. "I feel like I'm in a dream!" she said.

evan smiled "yeah I think I know what you mean" he said happly and kissed her nose

Thorn blushed and her eyes sparkled. It was exilerating, on the back of an Arcanine, she felt like she was in a book.

In the sitance you could see a town forming next to the beach. Evan smiled from both the town and seeing thorn blush.

"Are we going to stop at the town?" she asked. "I am running out of food."

"yeah we are and I think the pokemon should visit the pokemon center since I want to make sure that they are in good condition." he said with a smile

"Alright." The town was now walking distance, and she felt Arcanine to slow down. Pikachu looked at the town. It had a weird Aura, like ghost pokemon were everywhere.

Evan slowed down arcanine to a fast walk so that he wouldnt' tire out

Soon, Thorn looked down the road and saw a old lady hobbling down. "help! help, come quickly, we need young Trainers!" Thorn turned to Evan. "Stop Arcanine!"

Evan nodded and stoped arcanine. He looked down at the old lady "what do you need help with?"

The old lady seemed to dwarf in size comparison to Arcanine. "Our town has been overrun by evil spirits!" she exclaimed after catching her breath. "We need you to fight them off!"

Evan nodded "we will do our best." he said then looked at Thorn "are you ready to go and fight?" he asked.

"Sure." Pikachu growled, electricity coursing through his cheeks. "Come on then!" The old woman cried, and grabbing evan by the hand pulled him off of Arcanine and dragged him toward the city.

Evan quickly put arcanine in his pokeball and followed the old woman

Thorn got off and followed too.

"so when did this start happening?" he asked as he followed the old lady

"Just a week ago." The lady said, still keeping Evan in a iron grip. "The pokemon showed up, and then wham! All of our food goes bad and our water turns to mud." She looked at him. "Do you think yoiu can stop it?"

Evan smiled and nodded "yes, we can" he said even though he had no idea if he could

"Um, wnat is the pokemon exactly?" Thorn asked. "It is a large, swirling mass, with two eyes burning like embers in the middle!" The woman exclaimed.

Evan smiled "sounds interesting." he said happly and hoped to get to see this pokemon and catch it maybe.
