Lorelei peers closely at the image, making sure she'll recognize the face when she sees it again
Lorelei: Okay, Splash and I are on our way! Goodbye, and thank you again for your help Professor.

Prof. Oak shakes his head and gives her another smile.
Oak: Anytime. It's always fun to meet new people and see new pokemon. Take care on the trip to Viridian City. Wild pokemon may attack, though I am sure you won't have a problem with them. Did you need helping getting out of here? It can be confusing at times.

(Ack....didn't realize it had gone to page two, I just reposted my former post, since I thought it hadn't gone through.)
Lorelei nods and smiles ruefully.
Lorelei: Yes, I've spent all my life in Vermillion, so I don't really know my way around. Directions would be very helpful

The way out isn't exactly too hard to find, though a few of the rooms around here are made for specific element pokemon. After all, ice pokemon wouldn't like the warm weather around Pallet Town. A few moments later, you will be heading down Route 1 toward Viridian city. It isn't too long before a ratatta sows up to inspect you and then gives a small squeak at Splash before jumping forward to tackle the Mudkip.

Lorelei's blue-green gaze sharpens, her expression focused. Splash makes a sound of surprise.
Lorelei: Splash, look out! Then show it a -real- Tackle!

Mudkip gives a playful jump to the side, thinking this to be some new kind of game at the moment and then returns the tackle, hitting the Rattatta in the side. The purple rat pokemon gives a squeek and runs by, hitting Midkip with it's tail, but not doing any real damage.

Lorelei smiles at Splash, pleased at her perfomance.
Lorelei: Good job, but don't get careless! Try to finish it off with another Tackle!

Splash jumps forward again, hitting the Rattata in the side before it can attack. Realizing it would soon be too tired to move, the Rattata takes off into the tall to hide. Splash beams up to you and gives a small bark, quite proud of herself.

Lorelei holds out her arms and Splash jumps up for a hug, both beaming sunnily.
Lorelei: You were great Splash!
Lorelei sniffs.
Lorelei: Shows how much the electric trainers at Vermillion Gym know! No need for me to worry about wild pokemon while you're here.
Splash barks happily again, jumping down, indicating eagerness to head forward.
Lorelei: Right Splash, let's go. We still need to find the Professor's friend.

As you leave the first little section of tall grass, a man in an hawaiian shirt and sunglasses will come up to you.
Man: That was awesome babe. Simply bodacious. Here, I run the Pokemart and I'd like you to have this. It's a Potion! This awesome item lets you heal your pokemon anywhere you like, plus it tastes good so you don't have to worry about fussing. Radical huh?

Lorelei blinks slightly at his effusiveness, but she recovers quickly and gives him her bright smile.
Lorelei: Thank you very much, sir. That will be very useful. Though, the credit should all go to Splash here.
Lorelei beams her pokemon.

The man leans down to pet the little water pokemon.
Man: Well, this is certainly an interesting little pokemon! Take good care of each other and I'm sure that you'll go far!

Splash turns her head shyly away, but lets the man pet her.
Lorelei: We will, thank you again, sir. Goodbye!
Lorelei waves, and heads off further up Route 1, Splash at her side.

The rest of the trip up Route 1 is fairly uneventful. Though a few more of the local pokemon do instigate fights, they are nothing major at all. Soon you are in Viridian city. A smallish town that is uaually just a waystop for those wishing to head up to the Pokemon League headquarters on Indigo Plateu. The pokemon center is just up the first road that you use to enter the city.
