After that, it was lunch at the lab, they headed up to the lab to eat lunch. They discuss the events of the morning and the surprise revelation.
"Hey, Brendan, why don't we head out on the town tonight?" Leaf asked.
"Sure!" Brendan exclaimed.
"How about we make it a double date tonight, since Dawn and I are going out tonight anyways!" Clemont exclaimed.
"OK!" Leaf and Brendan exclaimed.
Dawn and Leaf head to a second floor bedroom and run into a girl named Daisy, and she allows them to find dresses in her closet.
As the girls were raiding the closet, Clemont and Brendan were learning how to tie a tie from Gary, of all the guys in the group.
At the girls' room, May comes in to check on them, and they have found dresses.
Leaf is now wearing a green dress that goes to her knees, not too low cut, and she wears green heels to match. Dawn now wears a light blue dress with a rather low cut and goes to her ankles, wearing heels to match. The guys are now wearing shirts to match the girls, Brendan is in a green dress shirt, wears a black tie, black pants and shoes, whereas Clemont is wearing a light blue dress shirt, a beige tie and pants, and brown shoes. The guys and girls are ready to go.
"Brendan, how many dates have you gone on?" Clemont asked.
"None, this is my first one!" Brendan answered "I'm very nervous!"
"Me too!" Clemont added.
"Don't worry about anything, Max got you two reservations at a restaurant in a Pallet town, and besides, Firey and I will be scouting out for Team Rocket, so don't ruin your dates." Ash responded.
"Good." Brendan and Clemont said.
525 pm, 12/27, girls' room.
"Where are they!?" Dawn exclaimed
"They still have 5 minutes until they get here." Leaf said, trying to calm down Dawn.
Then there was a knock at the door.
"They're here!" Leaf and Dawn giggled.
Clemont takes Dawn's hand and Brendan takes Leaf's hand and they head out to the restaurant and Firey and Ash take to the skies, Firey on Rayquaza, and Ash on Charizard, leaving Pikachu at the house to look over Hawlucha, Mimey, and everyone else, to look for Team Rocket.
At the restaurant…
"Hello sirs and madams, how can I help you?" a man asked.
"We are here for a reservation, under the Names Brendan Birch and Clemont Delfosse." Brendan answered.
"Ok, right this way!" The man said "Here are your seats!"
The four sat down and looked at the menu. The four then decided on something to eat, a meal for four that they all liked. They ordered that and their drinks came out, along with a Meowth!
"Hey twerps and twerpettes!" Meowth yelled "Time for us to steal your pokemon!"
"Sorry, they aren't with us, we are on a date!" Dawn responded.
"Aww, now I am going to find Ash!" Meowth yelled.
"See you, Meowth!" Leaf exclaimed.
"Your dinner, guests!" another man said, setting down a half ham or something similar, and vegetables.
"Well, let's eat!" Leaf exclaimed.
Meanwhile, in the skies above Pallet Town, a Meowth balloon with Meowth, James and Jessie was spotted above the restaurant.
"Leave the restaurant now!" Ash exclaimed.
"We are!" They said "not so fast!"
"Rayquaza/Charizard use Flamethrower/Hyper Beam!" Ash/Firey ordered.
An orange beam, along with some flames, hit Team Rocket's balloon, launching it, along with everyone inside, into the sky.
"Looks like we're blasting off again!" they said.
"We should keep to the skies in case they return." Ash suggested.
"Ok." Firey said.
Back in the restaurant, everything was going smoothly, they had dinner, and then dessert. Clemont paid the bill, since he is a gym leader. They went out around the town, walking until they saw an always familiar Rayquaza,
"What are you doing!?" Clemont, Brendan, Leaf, and Dawn yelled.
"Well, Ash and I were looking for Team Rocket, because they have a tendency to ruin events, so we blasted them off for you guys!" Firey explained.
"That makes a lot of sense, but Firey, you should really look after Eevee, since it is you Pokemon." Clemont noted.
"Actually, it is co-registered with both Misty and I, and she is watching him right now since I had to patrol Pallet town!" Firey said.
Then another news helicopter flies over.
"Breaking news: Local trainer, along with local girl, her boyfriend, and two friends of his are negotiating with the Rayquaza rider!" a reporter said "That's all for now!"
Rayquaza lets out a small roar to let them know that they should continue doing what they were doing.
Dawn gets tired of walking and is about to fall over when Clemont catches her.
"Will you carry me back to the house?" Dawn asked, feeling a bit dizzy.
"Sure." Clemont answered.
He picked her up, bridal style, and carried her all the way from the town square to Ash's. Brendan piggy backs Leaf back to Ash's, this slows them down immensely, and the girls planted a kiss on their boyfriend's cheek, and held it there, parting only when needed air, all the way to the Ketchum Residence, where Ash and Firey have landed, their Pokemon where they need to be.
11:00 pm
Clemont and Dawn take the chair in the living room to sleep on, cuddling close, along with the others in their regular spots.
