Route 4 - Across the Water

"Oh, thank you!" Claire said, putting back her wallet and re-shouldering her backpack. It wasn't too long until they got across the rest of the water and safely docked on the other side; Charmander hadn't made a sound since they had took off, curled up on her lap and looking a little sea sick.

"I will, sir," she said, "thank you for the advice and the ride. Have a good day!"

The sun was just rising over the horizon as Claire stood up, picking Charmander up in her arms and getting off of the boat. It was still dark and she could barely see the scenery, let alone distinguish tall grass from regular grass, so as soon as she got off of the docking area and onto the dusty earth she sat down and dug through her bag for any possible food.

"I didn't pack much of anything, did I, Charlie?" She murmured. She had a package of Ramen Noodles, a bottle of water and a thermos for keeping things warm. With a wicked grin, she set to work, pouring the water bottle into the thermos and breaking the Ramen Noodles up until they would fit into the mouth of the thermos. Charlie was sitting on the ground, watching her, an uneasy expression on the Pokemon's face.

She put the lid on loosely, before holding the now-filled thermos over Charlie's tail to warm it up.

"You think your tail is hot enough it'll cook my noodles, Charlie?" She asked, a smile on her face. She still had a bottle and a half of water, and two other packages of Ramen - it was more than enough sustenance for the coming day. As long as she could make it to the next town and pick up some more, Ramen and water would be all she needed. Heck, if she would have thought of it, she'd have brought marshmallows to roast!

As if sensing her thoughts, Charlie grumbled to himself, giving Claire a wary glance.

"I'll share my noodles with you, Charlie. Don't worry," she promised.
