34 Meetings
Time seemed to pass slowly as Rogue and Dawn journeyed around Myrtle Forest, walking on the edge towards the next town, Paniola Town. Their current destination goal, of course, is Celadon, but the travel time alone would take another two weeks. And this is without stopping in the towns in between.
Currently, though, Rogue and Dawn were only a day away from Paniola Town.
As they traveled, they only encountered a few new Pokemon due to sticking to the outskirts of Myrtle forest.
The first four were unremarkable, mere basic evolutions like a Weedle. But then, luck was on their side as they stumbled upon a majestic Gogoat, the final evolution of a Skiddo.
Surprisingly, it seemed to welcome them with open arms (or rather, hooves). Dawn couldn't resist reaching out to gently pat its furry head, feeling the warmth and friendliness emanating from this Pokemon.
However, Dawn didn't want to catch it, so Rogue brought out his trusty Chancla and gave the Gogoat a sharp slap on the head to paralyze it before summoning his Honedge and drove the blade Pokemon into its neck.
Dawn couldn't help but feel bad for the nice Pokemon, but she knew that this was just one of many sacrifices they would have to make on their journey. She knew that they would kill many more Pokemons in the future.
With this said, though, Rogue gained 3 System Pokeballs and 2 Potions. The most notable item was the Boots of Swiftness that he gained from Gogoat – the Boots of Swiftness. He also stored the rest of the Gogoat corpse into the System storage since it could be sold for money.

It has an all white exterior with two large feathers on its sides. Rogue recalled this to be from a certain game he used to play…
As they prepared to continue their journey along the dirt path that marked the border of Myrtle Forest, Rogue pulled out his recently acquired Boots of Swiftness and slipped them onto his feet. He took a few steps back and forth, testing their quickness.
To his astonishment, he could feel the ground rush beneath his feet, propelling him forward at least 60% faster than his usual speed.
Dawn found it odd that Rogue's pace had suddenly picked up with just some new boots, but she didn't question it. She had made her stance clear on not wanting to know his secrets and was sticking to it. However, she couldn't help but wonder and come up with her own theories.
…
…
Two figures strolled side by side on the outskirts of the forest, enveloped by the vibrant foliage on either side - one side a sprawling plain, the other the dense and mysterious forest.
The air was thick with the smell of earth and leaves, and a chorus of Pokemon birdsong echoed through the trees. Despite the heat, there was a sense of tranquility in this secluded dirt road, as if they were in their own little pocket of paradise.
"Wow, you're so naughty, Rogue!" Dawn said as her breast was groped by Rogue.
Dawn let out a soft giggle as she felt Rogue's hand slide over her curves, teasing and exploring every inch of her body.
"I can't resist," Rogue whispered huskily, his warm hand lightly squeezing and teasing Dawn's chest. "Your breast feels so incredible in my hand."
With a playful smirk, he closed his hand around the soft mound, feeling it jiggle against his skin. Dawn couldn't help but let out a small gasp, her body responding eagerly to his touch. It was like electricity running through her veins, igniting every nerve and sending shivers down her spine.
Dawn felt her cheeks flush as Rogue continued to tease and play with her breast.
With a bold move, Dawn reached up and wrapped her arm around Rogue's neck, pulling him closer to her. Shen then told him: "Stop teasing me, buddy! You know I'm going to torture that meat rod of yours later if you keep teasing me."
Rogue chuckled and leaned in closer, their lips almost touching. "I don't mind a little torture," he whispered, his warm breath tickling Dawn's skin.
Their playful banter quickly turned into heated kisses as they kept walking.
But before things could escalate any further, there was a deafening booming explosion that shook Myrtle Forest. The ground trembled beneath them as a body was violently launched through the air from the forest, tumbling and crashing to the dirt road with a resounding thud.
The body rolled on the ground a few times before getting up amidst the smokescreen of dust that had risen up and rang out at the forest in a furious cry: "You filthy bastards! Return my Pokemon to me!" The sound echoed through the trees, filled with rage and desperation.
"Ehh?" Rogue uttered in bafflement because he recognized the person ahead of them.
Her short orange hair, with a playful ponytail on one side, bounced as she moved. Her outfit screamed familiarity, from the tight denim shorts to the vibrant yellow shirt and bold red straps. He couldn't believe his eyes, it was her.
It was Misty.
He felt that at this rate, he's going to see all of the Pokemon universe cast if he continues his Pokemon journey.
But what is she doing here? Rogue wondered and turned his attention to the forest where Misty was looking at.
There, a figure with long red hair jumped out and began chanting: "Prepare for trouble!"
And then another figure with short purple hair also jumped out and added: "And make it double."
"To protect…"
Rogue's expression twisted in disgust as he saw who had appeared. "Fuck, vegans." he cursed under his breath, recognizing the group of people approaching. They were clad in all white with a red R, and their aura carried signs with messages of Pokemon rights and veganism.
"Vegans? Rogue, are you saying these people are the ones who don't dare eat Pokemon? Those kinds of vegans?" Dawn asked in a whispering tone, watching the theater play unfold before her.
"Yes, they're part of a group called Team Rocket," Rogue explained, his voice dripping with disdain. "They go around yapping about how everyone should become vegans."
"What a group of crooks." Dawn also looked down at the group before them.
