Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Go to Slateport City
---
"The hard training during this period has really not been in vain!"
On the evening of the fifth day of special training, on the beach near Granite Cave, Rosa looked at the appearance and strength of her Pokémon after five days of training and was very satisfied with it.
"Yes, they have been training very hard in the past few days."
Gary looked at his Pokémon, who had improved several levels, and nodded with a smile.
"However, during this period, it is also thanks to Mr. Steven. Otherwise, the strength of the Pokémon would not have evolved so obviously."
However, Gary did not forget that during these five days, Steven, who passed by, had guided the two of them several times in their training.
"Yes, thanks to Mr. Steven."
Rosa on the side also nodded in approval.
Rosa also understood very well that Steven's guidance was what Gary and Rosa lacked and ignored at present. Otherwise, their Pokémon would not have made such great progress.
"It seems that I will have a chance to repay Steven in the future."
Thinking of Steven's unreserved guidance these days, Gary was also grateful and prepared to repay Steven's guidance this time.
"Count me in too."
After thinking about repaying Steven, Rosa also joined in.
"Okay."
After talking about Steven, Rosa also started to mention their next itinerary.
"Now that we have completed the special training, are we going to leave Dewford Town?"
After the special training, Rosa also began to care about their next itinerary, so she turned around and asked Gary beside her.
"It's time to leave,"
Gary nodded to Rosa's question and then continued: "But we still need to stay in Dewford Town for another day."
"Why stay for another day?"
Rosa was puzzled by this, so she asked.
"After five days of high-intensity training, both we and the Pokémon are already feeling tired, so we still need to take a day to give them and us a good rest. After all, even when training Pokémon, we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest."
Faced with Rosa's question, Gary immediately explained the reason.
"I really didn't feel it until you told me. I'm really a little tired now!"
After Gary's reminder, Rosa also noticed her fatigue.
Originally, because of the high-intensity training of Pokémon, she didn't notice it herself until she suddenly relaxed now, and the fatigue came over all at once.
"Then let's continue to rest in Dewford Town for a day tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow to the next city."
After Gary saw that Rosa also felt tired, he immediately decided to rest.
"Okay."
.........
After completing five days of special training, Gary and Rosa were not in a hurry to leave Dewford Town but took a good rest in Dewford Town for a day.
And on this day, Gary and Rosa did not forget to say goodbye to Steven, who was still digging stones in Granite Cave.
After everything was done in Dewford Town, on the morning of this day, Gary and Rosa took the ship from Dewford Town to Slateport City.
Unlike Ash's journey, Gary and Rosa's journey in the Hoenn region was smooth sailing.
Therefore, the trip to Slateport City also took a while to arrive safely at Gary's destination, which is Slateport City.
"This is Slateport City, so big and prosperous!"
After walking down the ship with the flow of people and landing in Slateport City, looking at the prosperous city in front of him, Gary couldn't help but sigh.
"Slateport City is a large city in the Hoenn region."
Hearing Rosa's sighing tone, Gary smiled and said.
"It looks like it."
After looking at the prosperous surroundings and the streets with people coming and going, Rosa nodded.
"Slateport City was not originally a city. A long time ago, people saw that this place had clear water and sufficient food, so they built a village here.
As more and more people gathered here, more and more villages were built, and it has developed into the current Slateport City."
After a pause, Gary continued to introduce the situation of Slateport City to Rosa: "Because it is close to the sea, it has also developed into a port city, so there is also a large market in Slateport City, which also has items from various regions of the world."
"So that's it!"
After hearing Gary's introduction, Rosa also learned about some of the situations in Slateport City.
"That means I can go shopping here."
But then Rosa thought of something, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Don't worry, I will accompany you."
After listening to Rosa's words, Gary also hugged Rosa's waist and said with a smile.
"Gary, you are so nice."
After saying that, Rosa kissed Gary on the cheek.
"Okay,"
Gary felt the warmth on his cheeks and smiled slightly, then continued: "We should also check in at the hotel we booked before."
Because Slateport City is a large city, Gary was worried that there were not enough rooms in the Pokémon Center, so he had already booked a hotel on the ship.
After all, Gary was not short of money.
"Okay, let's go."
After Rosa agreed, the two walked towards the direction of the hotel they booked.
Just as Gary and Rosa had checked in at the hotel and were about to go to the room, the hotel receptionist suddenly called Gary and Rosa.
"Please wait a moment, two guests."
After hearing the call from the hotel receptionist, Gary and Rosa stopped and turned to look at the receptionist who had just spoken.
"What do you want?"
Rosa was curious about why the receptionist stopped them, so she asked.
"I would like to remind you two that our hotel has a private beach. All guests staying in our hotel can go to the beach for free."
After Rosa asked, the front desk lady immediately explained the reason.
"Is that so? We understand."
After hearing what the front desk lady said, Rosa nodded.
After learning that the hotel had a private beach that was not open to the public, Gary and Rosa packed their luggage in the room and went to the beach mentioned by the front desk lady.
Because it was a private beach, there were not many people here, but it seemed particularly wide.
After Gary and Rosa found a more remote place, they lay on the beach chair and began to enjoy the warm sunshine.
Just when the two closed their eyes, they heard a shout.
"Roselia, use Magical Leaf!"
