You look at the stairs and then look at your mon friends sleeping on the big blanket on the floor. It seems like none of them heard anything!
[SFX: muffled thump]
That was even louder than the other noise! You look at the stairs and tip-toe toward them and peek up the stairs and then start to tip-toe up the stairs and-
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">
Joe attacks before Cutémon was ready!
</span></span>
You can't help crying out!
Joe can't help crying out!
"Sorry I scared you like that." Joe grins down at you and walks down the stairs next to you. "I was just looking around upstairs."
You can't help grinning at Joe!
Joe glances at Onlion and looks at you. "When I was upstairs, I saw a big building further up the shore. It looked like <span class="mu-r">an arena</span>. I think Onlion will be alright for now. Do you want to come check it out with me?"
You're nodding your head!
"Ram-ram?" Ramster rubs his eyes and looks up at you.
"We're going to the arena!"
Ramster yawns and says "Ram-ram!"
Tamounda sits up and stretches his tail and says "...mounda."
Lottatax sits up and opens his mouth really wide and says "Aaah-ahhh-ax!"
Joe puts on his backpack and looks at you. "Ready?"
You look back at Onlion but Onlion is still sleeping! You look at Joe and nod and then you and Joe and Ramster and Tamounda and Lottatax all walk out of Professor Lungwort's house and down the hill toward <span class="mu-r">the ocean</span> and then you walk on a path along the shore. You have to walk slowly because the fog is so thick! You keep walking along the path and suddenly <span class="mu-r">a big building</span> appears out of the fog in front of you! This must be the Cape Smelt Arena!
What? You don't think it looks very nice? Well, maybe it looks nicer on the inside!
Joe looks up at the building and then pulls open the door and walks inside and looks around and then says "Hello?"
...
You don't hear anything! You and Joe look at each other and then you walk through a doorway and-
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-g">
Scurl attacks before Cutémon was ready!
</span></span>
When you walk through the doorway you see a human man and a big mon that looks like a muscular blue squirrel! It's a Scurl! Scurl looks at you and says "Scurl!"
Joe looks at the human man and says "Um, is this arena open?"
"Forget it, kid. This place hasn't seen a match in years. I just slept here last night to get out of the rain."
Joe looks around at the walls and then looks at the human man and nods. "Well, thanks anyway, mister."
"Hey kid, wait a minute!" The human man takes a step forward. "I'm in town looking for some rare mons. I could use a second pair of hands. Whaddya say, kid? I'll pay you <span class="mu-r">10 coins</span> for every mon you help me capture."
Joe can't believe it! "10 coins?" He looks up at the human man and shakes his hand and says "My name's Joe."
"Gunner."
"Scurl!"
What? Joe is looking at you?
>Go with Joe and Gunner
>Secretly follow them
>Ask Joe to say no
