Twelve-year-old Janine stood on the balcony of her house in Fuchsia City. She had recently been named the gym leader, after her father Koga was promoted to the Elite Four. She looked over to her Ariados, who had been let out of her Poke Ball. Ariados seemed like she knew something was about to happen. "What's going on, Ariados?" Ariados was no Psychic-type, but she seemed concerned. All of a sudden, Janine heard a knock on the door and a cry of "Help!" Janine raced down the steps, her heart pounding, as Ariados followed. Opening the door, Janine saw a boy, no more than three years older than herself, lying at the threshold. She immediately recognized the boy as Falkner, the Violet City gym leader. "What happened?" Janine picked Falkner up and brought him to the guest bedroom on the second floor. After she laid Falkner down on the bed, he somehow regained consciousness. "What happened, Falkner?" Janine seemed very concerned about Falkner.
"Department... store... Celadon... Team Rocket... beat up... tried... steal... Pokémon... drag... self... cycling... road... here..."
"You were beat up by Team Rocket at the Celadon City department store, they tried to steal your Pokémon, and you dragged yourself along the cycling road all the way here?"
"Yes..."
Janine called out Ariados, who used String Shot on Falkner's leg. "I'm going to get some bandages. Hang in there." Janine ran downstairs to get bandages.
A minute later, Janine returned with some bandages. Falkner looked at her with longing eyes. While Janine bandaged Falkner's wounds, he said, "You are like an angel. I love you." Janine turned pink, then bright red. She secretly had a crush on Falkner. Janine replied, "I... love you too." Kneeling down beside the bed, Janine bent over. Three inches from his lips, she whispered, "Words cannot describe how much I love you." Gingerly, she touched her lips to his. Sweet and sugary, the kiss lasted three entire seconds. All of a sudden, Janine heard a crash. The window broke open and glass flew everywhere. Miraculously, neither Janine nor Falkner was hit. A pink-haired girl stood angrily in the room. Clinging on to each other, Falkner and Janine screamed. What was she doing intruding on their kiss?
