Ridge had thought that using this road had been a bad idea in the first place. But the potential to get to the power plant and the lake faster than having to take the long way round were a real draw to him. But now that he heard the rustling he knew it was a bad idea. He was without a pokegirl walking on a tamer path where there were more likely feral pokegirls to pounce on him at a moment's notice. And then he heard the typical rustling motion in the grass. He was almost able to track it with his eyes.<br/><br/>"Darn." he said under his breath. He had hoped to just make it to the factory and rest without interruption. But now he was in a serious problem. And the feral pokegirls had made it all the more serious by appearing, and surrounding him. This was not going to be his day. He stopped for a moment. He inhaled a few deep breaths. This was going to be the fastest run he had ever done in his life. After making sure his breaths were lined up, he got into the running position. He prayed for safety, a very weird thing for a researchers son to do, but he did it. And then he was off in the fastest sprint he could muster. His target was the factory building, if he could make it there before they caught him then he should be fine.
