"In that case, let's go!" Waving to Robin one last time, Emily started back on the path to Route 102. "It'll be a while before we reach a city once we start - there's three routes in between this place and Mauville."
"Alright. Just lead the way" Talia said. As she followed Emily and plusle and minun were running around
Nodding, Emily continued east, arriving at the beginning of Route 102. "Oldale Town is only a while away, though - and it'll probably be where we'll stay the night, although the walk shouldn't take too long."
"I see. Well I do not mind camping. So we can also walk a little bit further. I forgot to say but I hace 50 days to find everything and learn what I can about Moltres bein here" Talia explained. Feeling a bit guilty for not sayin? it sooner
"Fifty days? In that case..." Emily's expression changed a little. "The journey should take less than a week if we're fast. Should we skip Oldale Town, then? It's up to you."
"I think thats the best. The towns for your contest isnt a problem. As I am curious how you will be doing" Talia winked
"Thanks," Emily replied with a grin. "It may have been a while since I've participated, but my Contest Pass hasn't expired, and I've been practicing - wonder how Taillow and Torchic would work as a duo..." She paused for a moment. "Oh, and by the way... anything we should know before facing Moltres? It's best to know ahead of time, after all."
"That sounds amazing" she smiled but than became serieus. "Well since its a legendary bird all i can say is. Do not underesitimate him"
Talia smiled. She liked the positive part from her and glad sh3 wasnt a lone on thiz journey. "Yes I see that Say did you travel alone last time?
"Last time? Oh, no. I was travelling with a friend - another Coordinator. She was very experienced - she'd tried out in the Grand Festival in two other regions before!" Emily smiled for a moment, remembering her old travel partner, before it slipped away. "And I'm sure she's participated in last year's, too..."
"Well..." Emily's expression changed. "Something happened back home. It was an emergency - I had to hurry. That led to me being back in Petalburg. But at least everything is all right now," she added.
"Whoa. " was Talia said. Shaking her head. "Glad all is fine now than" she chuckled. "Hope you have a better time now"
"That the spirit. Up to find moltress" s she ran the last part to the town as plusle and minun followed
"Wait up!" Surprised by the sudden change of pace, Emily began to dash after them. Oldale Town was now in sight and not too far away - and it was barely noon.
Talia stopped to catch her breath before the town guild. As she wait it for Emily to catch up. "Eating lunch here??"
Emily skidded to a stop a few feet away. "It would be a good idea to, considering we'll be camping out. Best to get some extra for the next two or three days as well," she added.
