Respiro chased the silver bell all the way to the Asper Settlement.
Rockruff had fallen so far behind that it had been recalled automatically to its Pokeball. Respiro did not mind— he always ran alone. Sprinting, jogging, trotting, building up energy to run once again. It never ended. He forged through the world like a poker through hot iron. Seldom did he find resistance. Seldom did he stop to breathe.
He could no longer see the bell.
He twisted his head in frustration. The buildings here were tall, obtrusive. They blocked his view. The church on the hill, the saloons on the corners. He kicked a pebble on the sidewalk in frustration, watching it sail across street and fall— plop!— into a pitch-black fountain.
A black fountain...
Such a thing had never existed in the place he'd known before. He looked both ways for riders before crossing the street, then pattered across to investigate.
