Rosa's POV

"Ugh!" I sighed.

"Where is she?" Hugh groaned.

We had been searching Aspertia City for almost an hour now.

"Oh how about we go check out the Lookout?" I suggested.

"Sure! Hugh agreed.

We then walked over to the steps leading up to the Lookout when,

"Whoa!" I yelped as I slipped on the stairs and fell backwards.

"Ack!" Hugh gasped as I started to fall.

"Got you!" He said as he caught me.

"Are you okay Rosa?!" He asked me urgently as I looked up at his face. We stared at each other for a couple of seconds which to me seemed like forever.

"Umm yeah I guess." I mumbled sheepishly.

…"Rosa you can let go of me now." He said.

"Oh!" I squeaked as I realized I had been holding onto his arms. A dark crimson hue spread across my face as I let go.

"Sorry." I muttered.

"It's fine." He replied.

Nobody knew this but I have had a crush on Hugh for the last couple years now.

'He'll never like me back.' I thought.

"Hey Rosa is that Bianca?" Hugh asked me, jolting me out of my thoughts.

"Umm yeah it looks like it. I'll go check." Then I ran off.

Hugh's POV

I watched Rosa as she ran off towards the blond haired girl.

"Hmm"... I sighed, thinking,

'Why would she like me back?' Only my little sister knew, annoyingly enough that I liked the brown haired pigtailed girl. 'If I ever told her I liked her, it might ruin our friendship.'

I watched Rosa talk to Bianca. Then I saw her gesture towards me and say something to Bianca. Then after Bianca replied Rosa started to blush a lot and started to act a little strange.

'I wonder what they are talking about.'

Rosa's POV

"Hello there are you Bianca!" I yelled to the girl.

"Yeah!" She replied. "Ah, so you must be Rosa, I presume."

"Yup that's me."

"Oh yeah! I heard a scream a minute or two ago. Was that you?"

"Uhh, yeah!" I replied rather sheepishly. "I slipped on the stairs but Hugh, I said pointing over to him, caught me."

"Oh whose he? Is he your boyfriend or something?" Bianca asked. I gasped and turned in my opinion maybe Tamato Berry red.

"I-well-uhh!" I started to stutter. "No-no-we-are-just-friends!" I replied extremely embarrassed.

"Ok then"…. Bianca sweatdropped. "Now as you can see here", She started as she took out a capsule with three Pokeballs in it.

"Wow!" I marveled.

"These are the three Pokémon you can choose from. Tepig the Fire Pig Pokémon, Snivy the Grass Snake Pokémon and Oshawott the Sea Otter Pokémon."

"Hmm.. I sighed what to choose. 'I don't really want a Tepig since Hugh has one… Oshawott has a better typing against Hugh's Tepig while Snivy has just that determined look in its face. It looks so enthusiastic and confident. Okay then I know what to choose.'

"I'll take Snivy." I declared.

"Alright then." Bianca said, handing me the pokeball. "Here yah go! Would you like to nickname it?" She asked.

"Nah."

"Also here the professor would like you to have this." She said pulling out a red device. "This is a Pokedex." She stated. "It is used to record Pokémon and their stats and abilities."

"Cool!"

Then Hugh ran up to us saying, "Hey Rosa have you gotten your Pokémon yet? Is that a Pokedex?!" He gasped.

"Bianca." He asked. "Do you have any more of them?"

"Well I do have an extra…" she started.

"Can I have it? I believe that with a Pokedex I'll be able to get stronger."

"Well…. Here I have an idea! How about the two of you battle and if I think, Hugh you're good enough I will give it to you."

"Okay." he agreed.

"Let's do it!" I agreed also. We got into our positions.

"Ready, and begin!" Bianca yelled.

*Cue battle music lol XD*

"Go! Snivy!" I threw the pokeball and out popped Snivy.

"Sniv, snivy!" Determination burned in its eyes.

"Go Tepig!" Hugh yelled. Tepig snorted while blowing flames from its nostrils.

"Now Snivy use Tackle!"

Snivy charged the fire pig and barreled into it.

"Tepig are you okay?!" Hugh yelled.

"Tep, tepig!" It snorted.

"Okay now use Tail Whip!"

Tepig wagged its tail which caused the grass snake's defense to fall.

"Now use Tackle!"

"You too Snivy!"

The two Pokémon started to charge each other but at the last moment I called out.

"Snivy dodge and use Leer!"

As soon as Tepig regained its balance, Snivy locked her gaze with it and stared intensely at it with glowing red eyes. Tepig shuddered.

"Now finish it with Tackle!" I commanded.

"You use Tackle too, Tepig!" Hugh ordered.

The two Pokémon charged and then they collided with a large boom! As soon as the dust settled Tepig was on the ground with swirls in its eyes while Snivy stood next to the Pokémon confidence evident in its gaze.
