"Well, that was definitely not Nacrene." Chase stated the obvious. "Just a daycare for people and Pokemon. It had been half an hour since their battle, and they had moved farther down the Route. The trip wasn't entirely a waste. They did get their Pokemon healed. Currently they were walking over a sparkling pond, wishing they were already in Nacrene. And just like that they were! They had reached the end of Route 3! "Well, see ya, I'm of to the gym." Chase dashed away. "Wait for me!" Sierra shouted, and she ran off too. Of course, she, unlike Chase, nearly ran into someone. "Whoa!" Sierra skidded to a stop in front of a light brown-haired blue-green-eyed handsome boy. "Hey," he said. "I'm Adam. Adam Conway."

"I'm Sierra."

"Pretty name."

"Thanks. I-"

"Come on Sierra!" Chase shouted, nearly at the gym.

"Who's that?" Adam asked.

"No idea. Gotta go. Bye!" Sierra said quickly. She took off again, leaving a disappointed looking Adam in the dust.

"Why are all the gyms hiding that they're a gym?" Sierra asked, hoping Chase had forgotten about Adam already. "First a restaurant, and now a museum." "Probably to throw trainers off. I won't work on me though!" He took Sierra by the arm and dragged her into the gym library. "C'mon!"

Once they were in the library, Chase started running around and grabbing books. In a matter of seconds, he had opened a secret staircase under one of the shelves. He disappeared down the steps, Sierra close behind. At the bottom of the stairs, Chase took out Osha's Pokeball and shouted, "I challenge you to a gym battle!" Lenora the Nacrene City gym leader, turned around and told Chase, "I'm not accepting challenges right now."

"What?!? Why does this always happen to me?!?"

"Well, this time it happened because someone stole a very important rock from the museum."
