Climbing the next Hill!

so...

I can't battle the Lumiose city gym because i don't have enough gym badge...

quite awkward and stupid...

so we decided to go face our next gym on Cyllage city! i heard that the Gym leader there is tough! I can't wait for the battle!

but first, we need to go through route 7!

/////

"so... do you think we should try to find the champion? I think we're capable" Gallade suggested
"no... we'll just get blasted by her Gardevoir's Shadow ball" i said with a plain face

"yeah... you're right"

"we'll battle her eventually... remember, we need to get more informations and experience too beat her!"

"Right" Gallade said agreeing on me.

"okay let's-" i froze when i suddenly see a group off people standing near the fountain on Camphrier Town... they are wearing some sort off black suit, with a hat? they seem to wear a mask... I can't even identify who are they, but i have a bad feeling about this...

one off them rises his hand and show some sort off sign... then they went towards route 7 without even noticing us...

"who are they?" Gallade said right beside me with his face concerned...
"are they friends?" Lucario asked

"... no... they don't seem like they are friendly..."

/////////////

after buying some stuff for our travel... i walked out from the Market and see the rest off my friends waiting for me outside, i signaled them too "continue our journey" and start heading towards the connecting cave with a bag full off resources for our travel.

"should we avoid them?" Gallade asked as i placed my last berry at the bag
"just to be safe? yeah" i then carry the bag and ready too leave...

"come on Lucario" i called as i continue on my path too Cyllage city, Lucario notices me and stops looking at the fountain

i feel happy as Lucario follows me... with Gallade of course.

"hey... don't get too close to the Lucario... okay?" Gallade said...

Did he read my mind?

"yeah... i won't" I sigh after that last part... The Lucario didn't hear us luckly...

/// 

after a few walking... we have finally reached the connecting caves... somethings odd... there doesn't seem to be anyone walking in or out off it...

"that's the cave?" Gallade asked me, feeling a bit uncomfortable by the silence
"yeah... hm..." I said as I started thinking... 

...

something clicked on my mind, I remembered an Alternate route... i looked towards south and see a very tall bush, then i walked over it

"where are you going?" Lucario ask

"finding another way" i said as my Jacket caught some tiny Branches
"Careful..." Gallade said worriedly
"this is nothing pal" i continued...

then i found it...

another big hole forming a Cave...

it's the alternate route.

"guys! I found it!" I shouted as I swipe off the Tiny branches stuck on my Jacket
"really?" Gallade said unsure, but then after he went through the bushes, he sees another path
