At the bike shop the next morning I was staring at the most perfect specimen of travel technology I had ever laid eyes on. Given the fact that scientists in the Pokémon world had found ways to enter dreams, revive dead fossils, and come up with a ball that can store a wailord with ease. What they had done with a simple bike is a cake walk.
Sitting there was what appeared to be some sort of plated motorcycle. It was sleek smooth and sexy looking in a nice blue color. "This is the newest model off the market from Silph co. It contains an electric motor that can be easily recharged at any plug in station. It has fold in pedals it's extremely light weight being only 20 pounds total. The total run time with the batteries it has now is 100 miles. But you can pedal it if needed it has extremely smooth bicycle action. This version collapses down with a press of a button."
The salesman clicked a button and I watched as the motorcycle beauty folded in on itself with the wheels going to the side and the handlebar popping up to make it a kind of rolling carrier I could put my backpack on and wheel around. "The wheels are made of advanced metal alloys and special synthetic rubbers making them practically unpoppable. There's safety measures on each bike so they can never fold up while a person is riding them and there's an electronic tracker imbedded inside so that if lost they can be tracked down via your pokegear."
"These models are the best of the best deluxe editions costing 50000$ a piece I've never seen anyone want more than 3 your wife purchased 12. And 2 attachable carriers." He says as i look over at Luna.
"I figured Hephaestus and some of the car junkie fanatics would want to examine them so I bought extras and Sabrina will need one when she tags along." She says with a dreamy look. I give her a kiss and thank her before looking at my new bike.
Even brock has his own bike. "Just how rich are you guys?" He asks looking at the row of expensive bikes he would need to save up for months and months to even think of buying 1 with his gym leader pay.
"Rich enough to buy usually whatever I want." I tell him starting up the bike as it purrs to life.
"These have super quiet engines so as not to startle Pokémon in grassy or forested areas." The salesman says looking at the bike like it's his favorite lover.
There's a little area in the center of the handlebars that has a compass and I can put my pokegear for my map function. Well I was in need of a mount and I guess this is a good option.
Brock and me are shown how to attach the rolling carriers which can double as a safety shelter in case of storms and wild Pokémon attacks.
With the girls help we rolled the bikes to a hidden alley where I stored some of them in the kingdom garage. We hopped on ours and headed south out of town on the road to saffron city. The ride was really smooth and the bikes could go quite fast even with such little motors. No wonder misty was so pissed when ash broke her bike.
Currently behind my bike was a carrier with collapsible seats and Luna, meowth, and pikachu, were sitting in enjoying the wind. She wanted to ride like this for a while.
"This is really the good life." I heard meowth say while drinking some moomoo milk with a happy sigh.
Luna just hummed her approval.
I have to admit it's quite good to just sit back and relax once in a while.
We easily reach saffron and then head off towards the west to celadon city. Saffron is a huge city and well populated. Silph co the maker of lots of technology is here so there's a lot of people that work here. Riding out of the west gate we hit the road again.
It only take about 2 hours to see celadon cities bright lights and hear the activity of people.
Our first stop of course is going to be one of the fancy restaurants to grab a bite to eat. Food here is also fantastic.
There we discuss what we are going to do.
"Our plan is to win everything at the celadon game corner. This area is actually secretly ran by team rocket who offer rare Pokémon in exchange for coins now you can pay millions for the amount of coins or you can win them at their rigged machines. Most people don't have millions so that's out." Luna explains to Brock who nods his head.
"Ryan the potion of you will." Luna says holding out her hands.
I open up my gate of Babylon and pull out some liquid luck potions.
"Each of you gets a single mouthful which will last all day. Your job is to buy all the Pokémon, Tm, and items that you can." Luna says as I pull out some shot glasses. She pours 5 perfect glasses and we all toast before downing it.
Then a warm and happy feeling takes over all of us and we start to move thanks to our luck. We head straight for the game corner and buy our coin cases which are kind of like little tubes you put into the machines and computers to get your prizes.
I head over to a nearby slot machine and hook my case on to the little coin insert. I pull the lever down and boom I win 100 coins. I keep going and going. Anytime I feel like I need to move I just go with the flow and turn to a different game. My coins start to slowly increase.
Soon I have enough for a basic Pokémon but that's not what I want.
