As Alice's Pokemon trained, she looked around the area. They were still near the entrance to the forest, and surrounded by some large trees. One in particular looked like quite a lot of fun to climb. When she was younger, Alice had loved to climb trees. "It's been a while..." she thought, "but I bet the view would be awesome up there."

She walked over to the tree and began to climb, slowly at first. Her boots scuffed against the thick bark. "This tree must be hundreds of years old, I can't imagine what it's seen," she thought.

When she was a few metres up, Javelin swooped past her and landed in a branch above her head, squawking happily. Domino soon joined him, running up the branches, her small feet gripping the bark easily.

"Haha, you want to climb too?" Alice laughed.

"Spearooow!" Javelin cawed and flew out of the tree, and upwards. Domino, always competitive, immediately began climbing again, trying to beat the bird.

Alice looked down. Citrus, Marionette, Aster and Fervor had all stopped now and were watching her. Then Fervor made a move for the tree. The way she swung on the branches was so natural that Alice couldn't help watching her graceful movements. In no time at all, the Mankey had overtaken her and was gaining on Domino, who was struggling with some of the higher branches.

"Be careful!" Alice called, as Marionette swooped past her head to join the others at the top of the tree. She poked her tongue out at Domino on the way up. The Rattata was getting increasingly frustrated as her teammates passed her.

Aster and Citrus were the only ones left on the ground. Alice knew that Aster could probably lift himself up with his vines, but the Ivysaur felt that he was the leader of her small team, and he wouldn't leave one of them behind. Citrus, now a Metapod, was unable to climb. Despite the agility he had shown earlier, it would take him hours to grip the branches using String Shot and haul himself up.

"I'll be back soon," Alice called down, and then followed the rest of her Pokemon. She found a good spot about three quarters up the tree, where a break in the greenery gave her a wonderful view of Pewter City. She could see people moving about, though they looked tiny from up there. Marionette, Domino and Fervor, followed by Javelin, climbed down to where their trainer was sitting.

Alice noticed a familiar figure down on the ground in Pewter City. "Hey! Davis!" she called out. She wondered if he could spot her right up in the tree.
