<div align="center">Ilex Forest <br/>Amy Kerensky and Snowball the Seel <br/>(http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/61/Spr_4d_086.png)</div><br/><br/>Amy had put her own bike up and left Snowball out of her pokeball. The lumbering, young Seel wouldn't slow them down if they were walking. Well, if you could call it walking. Amy giggled at her sister's expense for most of the walk through the forest. She couldn't help it, it was funny. The adorable baby Pokemon clinging to her sister's leg, causing Shar to walk with an awkward gate. Some people might wonder why the the Pokemon chose the older of the two girls, but Amy was pretty sure she knew why. From what she knew of Ursarings, they were fierce, dangerous, somewhat cold, and very protective. Exactly like Shar. This had to be why the baby chose the older sister, she reminded the Teddiursa of its fierce mother.<br/><br/>As they reaches the edge of the forest, the neatly paved Route 34 stretched out before them with Goldenrod City in the distance, and the soft sounds of ocean waves and smell of salt water to their right. Amy shrugged. "He doesn't seem to be letting go any time soon, and we shouldn't go back. Maybe those Rocket Grunts captured or killed his mother. Maybe not. Either way, he's with us. We can stop by the Pokemon Daycare Center on way and ask their advice. One way or the other, the only way is forward." And with a big smile, she took the first step into Route 34. Certainly not her first step ever, but her first step into the Route in what she felt would a great adventure
