Walking into lavaridge town the pair of trainers is greeted by a warm breeze blowing down from Mt.Chimney, refreshing in spite of the desert they had spent the day hiking through. Though it wasn't that late the town was dark in the shadow of the great volcano above.
"Oh shit" Kasper said, shocked "I think we lost Rose in the sandstorm, I haven't seen her since we took that break" he said concerned "I'm sure she'll catch up..."
From the center of the town every building could be seen. More of a village than a Town there was a Pokémon center, a shop, several houses, a Pokémon gym and of course the mystical healing spa. People from around the world have heard stories of the supposed healing properties of bathing in the mineral rich waters flowing from the heart of the volcano.
In the distance Kasper saw a flash of light, fire! Running over to investigate he was greeted by a trainer with long red hair held up in a spikey ponytail that looked like an explosion, she was wearing a black crop top shirt and long blue jeans. Her body was slick with sweat and soot from her hard training.
"Welcome to lavaridge" she smiled at the trainers "I'm Flannery, the gym leader here. You weren't spying on my training hoping to get an advantage in a gym match" she teased with a wink
"No" Kasper said scratching the back of his head "I actually came to town looking for my uncle, I just arrived from Kanto yesterday and I was told by my grandfather that he lived in lavaridge"
"From Kanto you say" said the gym leader thinking for a moment before sticking one finger in the air, remembering something "there's only one man here from kanto, his name is Jason Race" she pointed at one of the nearby houses "he lives over there" lit by the streetlight Kasper could see a rather plain house. One story, Brown siding and a red roof. It certainly fit in with the rest of the rustic buildings in the town.
Thanking the gym leader Kasper started to walk away by was stopped when Flannery shouted "Hey!" Turning around he was met by the young woman jogging over to him "make sure the both of you visit the lavaridge gym before you leave town" she said before waving the two trainers off.
Walking towards the house a little ways Kasper turned to Raven "so should we see if he's home, or wait until tomorrow?"
