Part Two

You pull out your map. Funny enough, despite being the champion of the Pokémon League, you never really got a sense for either the Kanto or Johto region's geography. You quickly locate it. Right by the Pokémon League... you think, It'll take a while to get there, but I promised I'd climb the mountain. You start making your way towards the League.

After several days of trekking, you finally arrive to the foot of Mt. Silver. It towers above you, leaving you in awe. You also spot a small cave near the foot, likely the entrance to the trail leading up to the summit. You feel a complicated blend of excitement, nervousness, and determination boiling within you. You take a look at the Pokéballs on your belt. You nod at them, turn your head towards the cavern entrance, and walk forth.

You find yourself going in and out of the mountain's many caves, encountering many wild Pokémon. Of course, they're nothing your team can't handle. As you rise higher and higher, the bitter cold begins to nip at you more and more. Before long you start seeing snow. I must be getting close to the summit... you think, as you begin chattering your teeth and covering your forearms with your hands. You never got used to the cold, as you spent most of your years in the always sunny New Bark Town. You also notice the thin air atop the mountain. It's somewhat suffocating, but you can handle it. You enter yet another cavern in the mountain. You enter, yet something strikes you as odd. There are no Pokémon dwelling in this cavern, nor are there any rivers like in the other sections of the cave. As you go further in this section, you notice a long set of rocks. Their appearance looks manmade, as if someone arranged these rocks for someone to climb. You ascend the row of rocks, and you are met with an exit. You take this route, and you realize you've reached the peak. A smile comes across your face, but it fades just as quickly as it appears. You go down a long strip of land, it almost looking like a corridor. And you find stairs. Not naturally formed stairs, but stairs that someone built. You step up onto them, and, as your heart pounds, you climb them. And, once you've reached their peak, you find yourself on a large, flat stretch of land. And in the middle is a boy no older than you, donning a red cap, looking off into the distance.
