💎 — She traveled to the Sinnoh Region on a mission; to research the legendary Pokemon known as Regigigas. While reading about the titan, she discovered there was a temple in Snowpoint City that had a statue of one. Did the people of Snowpoint see Regigigas as a God of sorts and built the temple as a tribute? 

While in Snowpoint, Crystal came across a Sinnoh local, a trainer around her age. She thought since Dawn was from the region, she must know something about Regigigas. So without hesitation, Kris enlisted the help of Dawn and together they set out to explore the temple.

Once at the lowest floor, the researcher first noticed the huge statue of the Pokemon. Her mouth was slightly open in awe, but quickly closed as she looked around. “Do you feel like we’re being watched, or is it just me?” She asked Dawn, moving a hand to her belt to grab a Pokeball.

💎 — She stepped off the Magnet Train at the Goldenrod City train station and looked around with a smile on her face. It felt great to be back in the familiar region of Johto, yet felt so strange to be there.

Kris had spent the whole year in the neighboring region of Kanto, helping Professor Oak with his PokeDex. Though she did travel the world, she spent the majority of her time in the professor’s lab studying. All-in-all, Kanto felt more like home than her actual home region.

Making her way to a safe location in the station, she noticed the station didn’t change much. Which was weird, considering Goldenrod was always changing. The most obvious change were the tourist and people visiting the city. The researcher watched a hoard of people board the train while others got off. Crystal watched others buying items from the vending machines, and families relaxing on the benches waiting for their train to arrive. The sight of these things made her happy to be home.

Speaking of home, she couldn’t wait to head to her house in New Bark Town and relax. And to catch up with the others and their own adventures.

“First thing first,” Kris said to herself, rubbing her stomach after it growled. “Got to find something to eat.” She made her way to the closest vending machine; the one that had a line forming in front of it.

The S.S. Anne, a well-known luxury cruise liner, makes its appearance in the Vermillion City Harbor once a year. This year is none different. That day, the ship was scheduled to dock and stay docked for the week. During the time of the ship’s stay, the Vermilion City Police Department would work overtime, usually making sure the tourist followed the law. Luckily for the natives, the newcomers kept to themselves.
