You're nervous and excited, but you do your best to calm yourself down and focus.
It seems like this is a bit of a lost cause though. You're restless and you're keen to get back on the road again.
When Holly calls lunch, you don't do much more than blink your eyes open, as if you'd just been having a rest.
Lunch itself is a simple affair, just sausages and bread. No one seems to be too fussed about anything elaborate right now.
As you're eating, you listen attentively as Kathryn outlines exactly how to take care of your soon-to-be hatched Riolu.
Predictably, they're a lot of work but only for a few days, at which point it, or you guess she, will be able to look after herself as well as the rest of your team.
"You got all that?" Kathryn asks.
"Yeah, that's pretty straightforward." You admit.
"Just call me if you've got any questions." Kathryn says, before giving you her number to register in your pokedex.
You finish lunch and clean up in short order before you're off again.
It doesn't look like it's going to rain again just yet and you make the most of it, to the point where you're approaching the camp grounds by mid afternoon, which is a phenomenal effort, all things considered.
It's a lot emptier now than it was when you arrived and you're tempted to call it a day now, but nobody looks like they want to stop, so instead you keep going and soon, you're back on Route 2, headed northward. You're probably not going to make the campsite marked on your map, much less the roadhouse, but it feels good to be back on the road again, even if it looks like it's going to pour again tonight.
You're about an hour up the road from the lake when the first fat, heavy drop of water splats against the ground next to you and another bullets off the back of your head.
The others quickly pull out wet weather gear, as it starts to drizzle, but the drops are heavy enough to clue you in that this is going to be a pretty intense storm.
>Push on for the marked campsite.>The best bet would be to make for the roadhouse. It'll take all night, but you're not finding a campsite that'll be remotely comfortable anyway.>Try find a decent campsite before the rain properly gets going.>Head back to the campgrounds.>Other
