It was a normal day in the Cerulean Gym. Misty was taking care of her Pokemon, while her sisters took care of themselves. Daisy was looking at herself in the mirror, while Violet and Lily were on a vacation. Then a knock on the door was heard. Misty opened and saw a female trainer. "Hi, my name is Molly and I came to challenge the Cerulean Gym for a Cascadebdge", the trainer said. "Hi, I am Misty, the Gym Leader and I accept your challenge", Misty responded. The two girls went in the arena. "So the arena is a pool, huh? Too bad I have only one Water-type", Molly said. "I am sorry, but the rules state it must be on two on two battle. So if you have a problem with that, go catch some other Pokemon and come back", Misty answered. "No, I will use a Pokemon of another type then", Molly said and the battle begun. The first round was Misty's Corsola vs Molly's Luvdisc, with Misty's Pokemon easily winning. Molly withdrew her Luvdisc and chose her next Pokemon, a Nidorina. Nidorina managed to defeat Corsola with the super-effective Double Kick. "Well, don't think you've already won. Go, Staryu", Misty cried, but before she could release Staryu from its Pokeball, Psyduck sprung out, as usual. "Oh, no Psyduck! Why do you keep on doing that? Now I must stick with you", Misty complained. "Well, I am nott exactly getting what you are talking about, but here goes: Nidorina use Bite", Molly said, with the Poison-type obeying. "Well, if she causes a headache for Psyduck, I will be able to defeat her easily with the super-effective Confusion", Misty thought. However, Psyduck wasn't thinking that way. He desperately shook his head, trying to shake Nidorina off. Before Misty could tell him to stop, he had thrown the Poison Pin Pokemon off the platform and in the pool. Nidorina then started crying and desperately trying to swim. "Oh, my Nidorina doesn't know how to swim, please help her", Molly cried. "Alright, I am on it", Misty answered and was ready to jump in the pool to save Nidorina, when something strange happened. Psyduck jumped in the water and after his opponent, managing to push her out of the water. Nidorina was half-fainted and Molly instantly ran to her, as Misty ran to Psyduck. "Hey Psyduck, how did you do that? You are afraid of swimming, aren't you?", Misty asked astonished. Psyduck shook his head like he was saying that he was but he managed to overcome his fear in order to save Nidorina, who had started to be conscious again. "Thank you so much Psyduck. At first I thought you were a pathetic Pokemon, but you are great. Your courageous act was incredible. Thanks a lot", Molly said. Psyduck shyly shook his head. Then Nidorina hugged Psyduck and kissed his cheek, making him blush.
"Well, Misty, how about getting outside to show me around Cerulean City?", Molly asked. "Yes, of course, wait until I feed some Pokemon here", Misty answered. "I don't mean to be impolite, but I intend to leave soon, so I would like to go now", Molly said and started pushing Misty out of the Gym, before she could say anything. "Well, what do you want to see?", Misty asked, obviously annoyed. "In fact, nothing", Molly answered. "What? So Why did we get out of the Gym?", Misty asked again. "Well, can't you see that our Pokemon are in love? We had to let them alone for a while", Molly responded. "In love? What are you talking about?", Misty asked. "You don't get it, do you? Come with me", Molly said and catching Misty by the hand she took her in the west side of the Gym, where were two windows. "Look for yourself", Molly said. Misty look indeed and saw Psyduck and Nidorina hugging each other, kinda making out. "What? It can't be", Misty said. "See now?", Molly asked. "No, it must be some mistake", Misty said and stormed into the Gym, with Molly running after her. "What are you two doing?, Misty asked. The two Pokemon looked at her puzzled and blushing. "Hey Misty, what exactly you have trouble into understanding? Our Pokemon are in love, isn't that right?", Molly said. Both Psydauck and Nidorina shyly nodded. "See?", Molly said again. "I just can't believe it. That Psyduck swimmed and now he found a girlfriend...", Misty answered. "Well, you'd better believe it, because I have big plans for these two", Molly responded. "Plans? What plans?", Misty asked. "You see, my family owns the Safari Zone. So what would you say about you releasing Psyduck and me releasing Nidorina, so they could live together there? You will be more than welcome to visit whenever you like, of course", Molly suggested. "What? I don't know. I don't want to let my Pokemon go", Misty answered. "I understand how you feel, but it is the best for him", Molly said. "No, I can't do that", Misty said. "Well, Misty, you are such an egoist. Psyduck, do you want to go?", asked Molly. Psyduck shyly nodded. Misty couldn't believe in her eyes. Psyduck had betrayed her. "See Misty", asked Molly. "Do whatever you want. Just leave me alone", Misty screamed and ran to another room, crying. "Well, Psyduck, you'd go better calm her down. I'll come back for you tomorrow", Molly said and wrote a message explaining the situation to Misty. Psyduck nodded and gave a "goodbye" kiss to Nidorina, before she and Molly left.
