"Shiva, this is Nurse Joy. Professor Mallorn remembered something he needed to say to your group, but he said Nathan's mom would leave the message with him. Sorry to bother you; I didn't realize you weren't in the center."


Ventus gets a text on his phone saying much the same thing as I'm going to reveal below.

Looks like multiple people are trying to get hold of your group from Trillium Town!




"Don't be worried, dear. It's not an emergency. But it is something I simply couldn't hold in - Nathan, the Running has started! We can see the Pokemon up on Mt Molten from here in Trillium. They're racing as fast as they can along the peaks, which they normally leave when they reach Ferrothorn Peak right about Ginger Town! You have about four days, then, until the Running of the Pokemon. That's where we got the original pair of Ponyta for the Ranch, and sometimes where I get new stock. This year, they're expecting Nidorino, Tauros, Stantler, Doduo...and a few rarer Pokemon usually show up. Your distant cousin Kory is running in their charity event."

"Anyway, don't know if you were interested, but I thought I'd let you know! I know how you're always interested to see the mass of Pokemon cresting over Mt. Molten. Sorry you missed it this year, but if you get to see the Pokemon tear through the streets of Ginger Town, maybe that will make up for it? Mallorn said he is going to be there. I forget, have you ever been to the Running there before? You know, in town?"
