Marcus watched the happy couple with a disappointed frown, his right hand clenched into a fist in jealousy. They looked good together, he grudgingly admitted to himself. He turned aside from their happy laughter, away from his spying and began walking dejectedly in the other direction. 'I should have said something earlier,' he thought sadly as he left Veilstone City, heading to Pastoria to challenge Wake. He began to jog, his brows furrowed angrily as his sadness changed to anger. Genesis should have been his, they had known each other longer! But he had known that when Genesis had first spotted Dawn when they went to the lakeside to search for the red Gyrados that he would lose him to her. He realeased Grotle from his Pokeball as he skidded to a stop, hugging his friend desperately as he sobbed. Grotle crooned to his Trainer, trying to calm him down.
As he calmed, Marcus backed away from Grotle and gave him a frail smile. As they began walking Marcus promised to himself that though Genesis would never be his now, that it was just as good to be his best friend, that it was enough to be close to him. Patting Grotle's back he gave him a challenging grin before he began racing to Pastoria, both of them trying to outrace each other. They had each other to help run off their boundless energy.
