"Brandent town" muttered Valk. He was jogging along the beach toward Brandent town, his training complete and a set of poke balls in his pack, a new poked ex on his belt and the incubator swinging like a lantern from a strap of the backpack.

He had been on the beach path for 3 days. Nothing to see, no dangers. Nights were warm and he didn't det up a lean to, just camped behind driftwood and ate cold rations.

His promise to the professor, to save the tree, was still fresh in his mind and he hoped that he could find the others that she had spoken of in the town ahead.

Suddenly what appeared to be a white rock moved. A Cubone! He reached for his pack and in his excitement, spilled poke balls all over. Quickly he began to scoop them up, crawling around the sand.

When he finally had the contents back in the bag he came nose to nose with the Cubone, it had wandered over to see what he was up to! "Ummm, hi" he said.

"Cu?" It replied.

He slowly sat back and reached into a pocket "hungry? He said.

It waved a small bone "Cu!"

They were both soon munching on leftovers. Valk was glad for the company and Cubone seemed happy to have him around too.
