Adrian ran until his legs felt like jelly. Even then, he was not sure that he had lost that crazy girl. The sun was setting now, and the man's breath was misting in the frigid winter air. He could see the highway now, headlights and streetlamps glowing in the distance. A bounty, on me, he thought. And of course that little psychopath would try to have me arrested just for a few bucks. Lillie had advanced quite a bit, indeed. Adrian could only feel lucky to have fought her off. If it weren't for the purple-haired boy distracting her, he didn't know if he'd have gotten away.

I've got to get stronger.

He slowed his pace to a walk, and scanned the horizon. A flock of murkrow was soaring in the distance. He needed to train, and now was as good a time as any.

It wasn't long before Adrian spotted a few pokémon clustered around a lone tree in the distance, feasting on its sap. With Richter's poké ball in hand, he crept closer. He called forth his lairon, and commanded stone edge. His pokémon bellowed as he invoked his power and sent forth a shard of solid earth from the ground. The tree was struck, and all ninjask fled but one, which quickly returned with an absorb attack, grabbing into Richter at lighting speed, piercing through his rocky shell and draining his precious life fluids. The lairon cried out as it tried to shake off his assailant. These pokémon became faster as they fought - Adrian had to end this quickly. One hit from a strong rock-type attack should do the trick against this winged insect.

"Stone edge! Again!"

Once more, Richter brought up a stone projectile from below, and launched it upward. The ninjask was knocked clean out of the air. With an empty great ball in hand, Adrian smirked as he hurled it towards the defeated bug.

Not bad, he thought to himself as he picked up the great ball, containing his new catch.

He continued with Richter by his side, walking along the length of the highway some hundred or so yards away as the sky turned a deep indigo.

Lillie had grown quite strong in a very short amount of time. The thought of it made Adrian feel inferior.

I can't let her get the jump on me like that again. If she can do it, I can too.

The girl had mentioned the pokémon league, back when he thought they were friends. Adrian knew pokémon better than most. He was a greenhorn in battle, but so was every master at one time. He certainly was not growing any younger - what was stopping him?

He scanned the horizon.

Adrian continued along the way, over a ridge, and to a patch of very tall grass. He held his hand over his mouth and nose to protect himself from the dry leafy blades. His pace slowed along with Richter's, whose massive frame flattened all plant material in his path.

"You okay there buddy?" he asked his partner.

Richter grunted in response, and something shrieked from the grass before them. A nidorino lunged forth, pecking aggressively at the lairon with its horn.

"Richter! Earthquake!"

The ground shook violently beneath them with the return attack. Earth exploded beneath the nidorino, sending it shrieking and stumbling back. Adrian tried to keep his balance, grabbing desperately at the grass. He landed on his hip, winced in pain, and reached for a poké ball. As the injured creature gathered itself and prepared to attack once more, he hurled it forth, squeezing his fists and clenching his teeth in anticipation.

With two new pokémon at his disposal, Adrian nodded to himself in approval. A chill ran through his body. The sun had set, and the last lights of day were fading to a dim glow on the Western horizon. He returned Richter to his capsule, and began towards the distant lights of the highway. He would have a long walk back to... somewhere. He didn't even know where he was going. Perhaps he could hitchhike? He sighed to himself. In all the hysteria, he had completely lost his way. That damn Lillie... He would get back at her one day, he promised himself as he came to the side of the road. He held out his arm, and put up a thumb, hoping that someone would pity him enough to give him a ride.
