Ash: That sounds lke a great idea!

Misty: Yeah! I'm sure it will look great!

Togepy: py-py!(i agree!)

Brock: Well, Nurse Joy and I have to pack for our honeymoon.

Misty: OOOO la la! Smoochy smoochy!

Brock: Shut up Misty! Im anxeous enough as it is!

Misty: (Snicker, sicker,snicker)

Ash: Well, I should probably start working on a sketch for Pikachu's garve stone.

Misty: Well....I guess I'm the only one left...(sigh) What's this? "Dear Brock,

We are deeply sorry that we could not accept you application to become a Pokemon Breeder. We have come up with a few things that we think you should improve on if you want to apply again. The list goes as follows: 1) To become a pokemon breeder, you will need to have bred some pokemon. 2) The pokemon offspring of your pokemon will then have to be accepted into the "Pokemon Hall of Fame". We do allow breeders to let young Pokemon trainers use the pokemon young as their starting pokemon. Please take this information and use it to better your breeding skills.

Sincerly,

The Pokemon Breeders Association

Misty: Wow, I feel really bad for Brock...I wish I could help him..maybe there is a way.

Joy: Yes. Me too honey. So what should I pack?

Brock: Well, we are going to be on the beaches. Maybe you would want to pack that nice 2 piece thong bikini you have!

Joy: Um...I was thinking of something a little less revealing...but whatever makes you happy dear! (thinks it over) But only on one condition.

Brock: Uh oh. And what might that be?

Joy: You have to wear that cute Speedos swimsuit of yours!

Brock: Um well,..you see,the thing is...

Joy: If you want to see me in this, then you have to wear this.

Brock: Well I guess if I don't know anybody there...Then what the heck! I'll do it!

Joy: I knew you would baby!

Hey Brock, before you lea-...Um...I wont even ask. But what I was going to say was, I bought you some pokeballs to take. You know,just incase you run into some pokemon.

Brock: Uh, ok. Thanks a lot Misty. I appreciate it.

Joy: Oh Brock, I don't want you to get carried away with pokemon and ignore me.

Brock: Don't be silly honey! I wont even think about pokemon. Um Misty, maybe I shouldn't take those pokeballs afteral.

Misty: Oh. Ok, I understand.

Joy: Oh baby, your so good to me! I love you!

Misty: That should do it!

Misty: I understand. It's been tough for all of us. You'll get over it eventually. I promise.
