Not you too Flare.
Ember: Read and enjoy.

Chapter 2
(The next morning)
Flare yawned and looked around the inside of the tent. Ember and Grady were both gone. She started to get worried before she heard yelling outside.
"Hmmm?" She walked out to see Ember tackling a tree with Grady telling him what to do. She watched as Ember seemed to get better every time he hit it.
"Okay Ember! One more time! Tackle!" Grady ordered and Ember sped toward the tree and tackled it. With that last hit the tree cracked and fell. Flare gasped softly which the two males heard and looked over at her.
"Hey Flare! Good morning, come here." Grady called over and Flare walked over. He took out his Pokedex and scanned her. "So you know tackle, tail whip, ember, and quick attack. Nice move selection. Wanna practice?" He asked her. Flare nodded.
Ember came up to them. There was sweat dripping off him. "Good luck Flare." He said and headed toward the nearby creek. Flare couldn't help but get aroused when she saw Embers muscles drenched with sweat. She shook the thought from her mind as Grady called out to her.
"Flare, you ready to train?" He asked her. She nodded her head her thoughts still on Ember. Grady then ordered her to start tackling a different tree since Ember had broken their last one. She did as she told and soon forgot about Ember. When she was done she was sweating just as much as Ember had been.
"Ok Flare, go clean yourself up and then we'll continue on our journey." Grady told her and she headed toward the creek. She saw Ember washing himself and slid into the water next to him.
"Hey Flare, how did your training go?" Ember asked her. She smiled at him.
"It went good. Grady says I'm strong." She told him. Ember smiled back at her. Flare had to fight to not faint when he smiled at her.
"That's good, well I'm clean, wanna walk back to camp together?" He asked. She nodded and started to wash her fur faster getting all the dirt and sweat out of it. When she was done she looked down at her fur and realized it was shining.
"Ok, I'm ready." She told him and got out. They then walked back to see Grady putting the tent down.
"You two ready?" He asked. They nodded and the three headed down the road. After an hour they all started to feel bored so Grady started whistling.
Flare kept glancing over at Ember as he smiled and started whistling along with Grady. Grady soon stopped when they saw another young man in front of them; he looked the same age as Grady but a little younger.
"Hello Grady," He said.
"Hello Brandt, how's your journey been going?" Grady asked.
"It's been alright. I did start just two hours before you did." Brandt told him. The two guys couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing.
"Oh gosh! I almost had it there!" Grady laughed as him and Brandt gave each other a pat on the shoulder.
"Yeah, me too. So who are these two pokemon?" He asked looking at Flare and Ember.
"This is Ember, I started with him, and we caught Flare a day and a half ago. They're both pretty strong." Grady told his friend. "And this must be your Charmander. He looks good."
"Thanks, we just got back from Mt. Moon. We're going to go train in Viridian forest to train for a while."
"You just got done with Mt. Moon? Have you defeated the Gym Leader in Pewter City already?" Grady asked amazed.
"Oh no, you don't have a map do you? They made an underground road that ends right by Mt. Moon." Brandt told him. "Here, I have an extra map." Brandt put his bag down and pulled out a folded piece of paper. "Don't lose that, I won't give you another."
"Ok, hey, let's have a battle right now. We need training." Grady suggested.
"Ok, but don't cry when you lose." Brandt smirked and brought out a pokeball.
"Oh, I won't be the one losing. Flair, go on out!" Grady yelled and Flair walked out between Grady and Brandt.
"Come on out Onix!" Brandt said and threw his pokeball. There was a red flash and soon a huge snake-like rock appeared.
"Dang, an Onix. Nice one." Grady commented.
"Thanks, for that, I'll let you have the first move."
"Thank you, you're too kind. Flare use quick attack on his Onix!" Flare ran at her super speed and tackled the big rock pokemon. Onix was pushed back but he didn't fall.
"Onix, use tackle!" Brandt yelled and Flare found herself flying after getting hit, she winced and tried to up but fell back down.
"FLARE! Grady and Ember both yelled and they ran out too her. Brandt returned Onix and ran over.
"Grady I'm so sorry! I didn't think she would get so hurt!" Brandt said as he leaned down. Grady started to go through his pack.
"Damn it! I haven't bought any potions!" Grady cursed. Brandt brought a potion out.
"Here, this will help!" Grady thanked him and sprayed the potion on Flare's wounds. Soon she woke up.
"Flare! You're alright!" Ember cheered and nuzzled her. Flare blushed brightly and got up.
"Oh good, you're alright!" Grady said and hugged Flare close. "I got so worried."
"I'm alright you two." She said. But she was glad they were worrying about her. It made her feel special.
"I think that was enough for a fight." Brandt said.
"Yeah, maybe after some more training." Grady suggested.
"Well, you guys wanna go train with us in the Viridian Forest?" Brandt asked.
"Sure, let's go." Grady picked up Flare and carried her while they walked toward a huge grove of trees which Ember guessed was the entrance to the forest. Grady and Brandt walked in front of him and Brandt's Charmander. Ember looked over at the orange lizard like pokemon.
"Hello, I'm Ember." He said trying to make friends.
The charmander smiled. "I'm Charmander. It's nice to meet you." Charmander walked by Ember.
"So is Brandt a good trainer?" Ember asked.
"He's an awesome trainer! I'm already super strong from his help." Charmander said. As the two pokemon talked, Brandt and Grady were having their own conversation.
"That Vulpix of yours is pretty good Grady. Nice job training her." Brandt commented to his friend.
"Well, we only had one day of training, but we're going to get stronger and stronger as we go through our journey." Grady told Brandt.
"Do you know when you might reach the pokemon league?"
"Nope, but I hope I'll be there by next year. I don't want to be doing the same thing for more than two years."
"Cool, well, I wonder where all the pokemon in the forest are?" Brandt commented as they looked around. Flare looked back at Ember and couldn't help but blush.
'He's so handsome. I hope I get to see him at full power one day.' She thought to herself. For she knew when they battled each other, those two attacks he used were not at full power. She felt like she could walk now and she jumped from Grady's arms.
"Ok Flare, I guess you can walk then." Grady then continued talking to Brandt.
Flare walked back so she could walk next to Ember and the charmander. "Hey you two," She said cheerfully.
"Flare! You're alright!" Ember cheered and nuzzled her. Flare couldn't help but blush.
"Y-yeah I'm alright. Thanks Ember." She said. Ember sighed in relief.
"I'm happy you're safe. I wouldn't want my friend to get too hurt." Ember said relieved. Flare's ears drooped when he said friend. She was hoping they could be more than that. She got them back up quick before Ember noticed. Luckily he had gone back to talking to Charmander. She put up a fake smile and started to talk to Charmander as well.
Soon their trainers got tired of walking and sat down for a rest on a pair of stumps. "I guess we can camp here. That alright with you man?" Grady asked Brandt.
"Yeah, but I want to catch at least one pokemon before I go to bed." Brandt said getting out a tent.
"Ok, let's make it a challenge. Whoever catches a pokemon last has to wash the dishes after dinner. Deal?" Grady challenged.
"You're on, be prepared to wash a lot of dishes." Brandt laughed. "Come on Charmander!" He ordered and the trainer and pokemon ran into the forest.
"Flare, Ember let's go!" Grady yelled and they ran into the forest. He looked high and low for a pokemon.
"Hmm, where could a good pokemon be?" He asked himself.
Ember looked through some bushes that showed a small clearing. He then saw a Pidgey in the middle of the field. He yipped to get Grady's attention. Soon, him and Flare were there.
When Grady saw the Pidgey he rubbed Embers head. "Nice job boy! For that, you can battle the pokemon." Grady said and they walked out toward the Pidgey. It saw them and jumped back.
"Go Ember use quick attack!" Grady ordered. Ember did so and got close to the Pidgey but it dodged at the last second. Ember growled and tried again. The Pidgey dodged it again. He heard Grady try to think of a plan to hit the Pidgey.
The Pidgey then came and hit him with its own quick attack. He felt bruised but still good to fight. Before he could get up he felt himself lifted into the air and thrown against a tree. The Pidgey was using Whirlwind on him. He got back up and let out a low growl.
Ember then heard a gasp behind him. "Ember, use quick attack and go up that tree!" Grady ordered. Ember realized what he meant and did as he was ordered. He ran up the tree at high speed and soon was at the Pidgey's height. He then jumped off the branch and got a hit on the Pidgey which made it fall to the ground. Ember then rolled before he hit so it would cushion his fall.
"Ember it's on the ground! Hurry and use tackle!" Grady ordered. Ember ran at the Pidgey and tackled it. The Pidgey went flying, (A/N: my own little flying pokemon joke) and hit the ground. "Great job Ember! Let me handle it now! Go pokeball!" Grady yelled and threw one at the Pidgey. The Pidgey disappeared in a bright light and the ball wiggled around. Grady crossed his fingers as Ember got ready in case he had to fight more. Soon a ding was heard and the red light disappeared.
Grady went over and picked the pokeball up. "Yes! We caught a Pidgey! Our first flying pokemon!" Grady cheered and started doing his own little dance. Ember and Flare laughed at him.
Flare soon saw Embers bruises. "Ember your hurt!" She gasped and ran over to him.
"I'm alright Flare, I'm tough. No small bruise will keep me down." He exaggerated.
Flare smiled but still worried about him. 'Again, he didn't go at full power. What's with this cute Eevee?' she thought to herself then blushed when she saw Ember was a little bit cuter now. At least she had red fur to cover that blush.
Grady then ran over to them. "Come on guys, lets get back to camp, I don't wanna be washing the dishes tonight." He said. Ember and Flare yipped and ran back with him to camp. When they got there they saw Brandt making a campfire with Charmander.
Brandt looked up as they ran into the camp. "So did you get one? Cause I did." He smirked as he held up a pokeball and released an oddish.
"Dang it! You got one before me!" Grady cursed. He then let out the Pidgey he caught. "Well, let me see what your gender is and then I'll name you." Grady then pulled out his Pokedex and looked as the screen scrolled down. "A female, ok, how about Pidge? Do you like that?" He asked. The Pidgey thought for a moment before it nodded and let out a musical note.
"Well Pidge it is, welcome to the team." Grady told her. He then sat by Brandt to help get dinner started. Flare and Ember walked up.
Pidge landed on the grass in front of them. "Hello, nice to meet you." She said and bowed her head slightly.
Ember did the same. "Hi, I'm Ember; I was Grady's first pokemon."
Flare smiled and bowed her head in return. "I'm Flare; I'm Grady's second pokemon. It's a pleasure to meet you." She said.
Pidge looked back and forth between them. "Are you two mates?" She asked suddenly.
Ember and Flare both blushed. "No way! I'm not her mate! Why would I want to be her mate?" He laughed. He heard a cry and turned around just as Flare jumped out of the campsite and ran off.
Charmander and Pidge both looked at each other. Ember looked confused. "What did I do?" He asked in a confused tone. Pidge sighed and put a wing to her head.
Charmander shook his head. "Dude, she likes you. You just made her think that you would never ever want to go out with her." Ember gasped and looked to where Flare had run off.
"What do I do? I didn't mean too!" He asked already feeling guilty. Pidge walked over to him.
"Go tell her your sorry, and explain why." She explained to him.
He nodded and ran after Flare. He soon found her by a small river flowing through. She was crying by the water. "Flare, I didn't mean to say what I said back there like I hated you. I love you. But it's a friendship love. Flare please forgive me." He said and moved closer to her.
Flare wiped her eyes and looked at Ember. "Ember, I have feelings for you, I have for a while now. I just was hoping you might feel the same for me." She looked at him with love in her eyes hoping to see the same love in his.
She didn't. "Flare, I don't love you in the same way. I only love you like a best friend, or even a sister. Please, let's not go through this." Ember said turning away so he didn't have to see the sadness in her eyes.
"Well, then I have no choice, but to do this." He heard her say.
"Do wha-Ahh!" He yelled as she tackled and pinned him to the ground.
"Ember, I need to mate with you." Ember looked at Flare in shock as she gave him a lust filled look.
