Skippy and Valor were soaring above the clouds of the Johto region. Skippy kept an eye out for violent Pokemon through her flying goggles. "Ahem... Valor, we need to discuss something...," Skippy started. Valor turned his head a little and eyed Skippy suspiciously. He groaned slightly, as if aware that he would not like the discussion. "Things are bad, Valor. Really bad. We can't just keep knocking out Pokemon that attack us. We need to step it up. I think it's about time we started... actually killing attackers." Valor reared his head around and glared. "Valor! It's not like we have much of a choice! I don't want to go against what I believe in either, but things are different now... I will not force you to kill, and in fact I hope we don't have to. However, if we get into a bad situation, just know that those Pokemon that attacked us killed other Pokemon and the will not hesitate to do so to you. Be careful." Valor sighed and turned his head to stare at the clouds. "I'm sorry, buddy... I hope we can use the radio station in Goldenrod to establish communication with Violet City."
"Come on, Valor, let's try for a smooth landing!" Valor glided over Ecruteak's city gate and landed in front of Bell Tower. "Good job! You've done enough for me today, my friend," Skippy sighed, calling the Charizard back into his pokeball. "Let's go, Gladys, you could use some outside time." The Ivysaur blinked her eyes and looked around the city. "Do your best to keep up! No gawking! Besides, we're only here for one night. Let's go find some food and some people to get some info from!" The young grass type smiled and trotted along next to Skippy.
