Love Across Hoenn

Lia: I was...it never left my side, always watching me with those red eyes...

Nicole: I'm so sorry you had to deal with that for so long.

Lia: I'd still be there if not for you. You saved my life, Nicole! *hugs her* I really, really love you!

Nicole: *Embraces Lia* I love you too, Lia.

Lia: So uh..what do you wanna do? *nuzzles Nicole*

Nicole: I think we should get going, pack up and leave so that guy won't find us again.

Lia: Right...*hangs her head and sighs* More work...
Later on, walking through the route
Lia: Woah, look at that sandstorm up there!

Nicole: I don't think we can walk through that, Lia.

Lia: What if we tried really, really hard and believed in ourselves?

Nicole: It's not one of those things, Lia.

Lia: If you say so. I wonder if there's any good pokemon on this route...

Nicole: Probably some ground type pokemon, in that desert. And since we're so close to Mt. Chimney, maybe a fire type or two?

Lia: wait, huh? Where's mt. Chimney? *turns to see the huge volcano looming in the distance*

Nicole: Well yeah, it's kinda right there.

Lia: Oh! I didn't even notice! Well anyway if I had to choose between a desert and a volcano, I'd chose the desert...

Nicole: No, I don't think that we can get through it.

Lia: well where do we go then?

Nicole: You're gonna hate this, but I think there's a cave leading through the mountain to take us to the other side. I think.... *Taps her chin in thought* Either that or a cable car...

Lia: Ooh! Cable car! Cable car!
(They arrive at the building for the cable car but it's shut down, with the building closed)
attendant: Sorry, the cable car is closed. Line's been struck by lightning during a storm.
Lia: Uh....you uh...wanna climb the mountain, Nicole?

Nicole: No. Now come on, I think I saw the cave this way... *Walks off*

Lia: *drops to her knees* NOOOOOOOOO!
attendant: wow kid, you sure are dramatic.
Lia: Shut up...*gets up and follows Nicole solemnly*
(at the mouth of the Fiery Path)
Lia: Uh...you first....

Nicole: Come on, I'm sure it won't be a repeat of last time. I hope...

Lia: Okay...*takes a step inside* Hey guess what it's worse....*wipes off her immediate sweat* It's so damn hot in here...

Nicole: Ugh...yeah, it is... *Starts to take off her shirt*

Lia: Okay so maybe this cave won't be so bad after all...*takes off her shirt as well and continues down* How is this damn cave so damn hot anyway?
