Kanto Region - Somewhere on Route 3 - Early Morning
Noises echoing in even the smallest crannies of my mind, endlessly, without any clue of what exactly happens. Trying to focus myself on those sounds didn't help as no matter how strong I try, I can't even distinguish a syllab from those obsessing, continuous whispers. As time flew, they finally became so loud that, unable to stand anymore, even my consciousness was sent into some faraway limbo, dragging me into a second eternity, as quiet as the first one was noisy.
An undetermined amount of time later, my consciousness was like pulled off its lethargic state, apparently with the only purpose of letting me feeling a very sharp and hard thing scratching my cheek, my shoulder, and all the way through my elbow.
Too much tired and not confident enough to open my eyes, but still enough to hear, as that's at this very same moment a structured, almost understandable voice came up to my eardrum...
"Sir ? Sir ! You finally awoke ! "
Alfred opened his eyes and noticed that he was laying on the floor, in a very rocky place, small gravels and sand all over his face. Looking up the first thing that he seen was a tall, beardy man wearing hiking clothes, showing a strangely welcoming smile.
"You just can't stay like that ! Let me help you !"
The man tended a water bottle to Alfred, who drank it in a single gulp, forgetting any notion of etiquette in favor of the satisfaction of his most natural needs. A half-bottle later the scientist's mind began to work properly again, and basic survival let place to more existential questions :
"Where are we ?"
"You are on the Route 3"
"Routes are not numbered"
"So they are."
"In which State are we ?"
Exasperated but still smily, the Hiker tended a folded map to the bewildered traveller, and after five minutes reading it, Alfred asked :
"Is it possible to arrive here before night ? "
"Sure it is, but other trainers might delay you a bit"
"Trainers ?"
"You don't even know either what nor who they are ? You're definitely not from here. Don't mind if I explain you the whole thing ? You sure do have a lot to know before venturing through the whole region..."
