Chapter 4: Just a Bit in Love

"So… you've been doing well, I presume?" Carter and Gold were getting some coffee, and catching up on old times.

"Can't complain. I have a job, getting paid, got a girlfriend. I do wish that I could have Pokémon though." Gold said.

"Well, at least you have a girlfriend." Gold looked smug after seeing the scowl on Carter's face.

At that particular moment, Carter saw a girl. Not just any girl. This one just about summed up what he hoped his future girlfriend to be like. The girl noticed Carter staring at her, and came over.

"Hello!" she said brightly. She was wearing a white tee and a thin black jacket, with cutoff jeans, and ripped pockets showing. She also wore a long brown ponytail, and a pink hat.

"Hello?" She said again, when she received only a stare from Carter.

"Hothadahothadhotdahadhothda…." Carter spazzed out.

"He wants more hot coffee…. Um… we'll be riiiiight back. Okay?" Gold said, then took off into the shop with Carter.

"What the fuck is with you man?" Gold fumed at Carter.

"Dude… she's fucking hot…. I think I'm in love…." Carter whispered.

"Well… Ask her out then!" Gold said angrily.

"Um… I guess I can….. but where? We aren't in Nimbasa or someplace with a nice date area. We're in Striation." Carter said.

"Well, how about you defeat the Striation Gym, to gain access to it as a restaurant?" Gold suggested.

"Well… I only have one Pokémon; Servine. How do you beat a gym with one Pokémon?" Carter asked.

"Well, how about you catch some more? I have a few Pokéballs here." Gold said as he handed Carter 5 Pokéballs.

"OK… I'm gonna bail. See you later Gold!" Carter said just before he bolted.

He rushed out the door and headed to Route 2 to catch a new Pokémon. Once he finally reached the Route, he found a wild Sawk lurking behind a tree. The Sawk put up a huge fight, throwing rocks, using wood pieces as weapons, and karate chopping Carter's Servine. Ultimately, Sawk stopped, and knelt on one knee, offering himself to be Carter's Pokémon. Carter tapped him with a Pokéball, and he instantly went into it.

After hours of intensive training, Sawk and Servine became much stronger. By chance, the girl Carter saw happened to see him train. The girl's name was White, and she was extremely impressed by him.

"Excuse me, but I saw you training…. And I think you're pretty good!" White smiled as she watched Carter gaze in shock at her actually talking to him.

"You're the girl from the coffee shop…" He gazed in shock at her actually talking to him.

"Yup!" she said brightly, with a twinkle in her eyes that turned Carter on.

"Um… I was wondering… Do you wanna get some dinner tonight?" Carter asked awkwardly. The thing is, Carter didn't know it, but White was there to ask him out.

"S-sure!" she stammered.

"OK… Meet me at Striation Gym at 8:00 tonight?" Carter asked.

"Sounds good to me!" White said, at her attempt at her usual cheery voice, but in reality she had butterflies.

It was 4:00 at the time, so Carter had 4 hours to beat the gym to gain restaurant access to the gym. He decided to heal with his potions there, then head to the gym immediately. As soon as he stepped through the doors, he saw several gym trainers that he could not afford to battle. He saw some waiter's clothes on the floor nearby, and he got an idea. He put on the waiters clothes over his normal ones, then walked casually past the trainers in waiter uniforms. They let him pass, not knowing he wasn't a gym trainer. When he finally reached the gym platform, he stared up at the triplets.

"What do you need, waiter?" Cilan asked.

"A battle!" Carter yelled as he pulled off his disguise.

"Well! I'm quite impressed by your ambition to disguise yourself. Interesting tactic." Cress stated.

"I chose Snivy as my first Pokémon. Who do I battle?" Carter asked.

"You battle me." Chili stepped forward, two Pokéballs at the ready.

Carter took out one Pokéball. "Go Herdier!" Chili shouted. The dog-like Pokémon emerged from the ball, and began to bark loudly. "Go Sawk!" Carter shouted, just as the blue humanoid Pokémon came out of its ball.

"Sawk! Use Force Palm!" Carter shouted the command to Sawk, who then proceeded to slam Herdier into the wall. "Finish it off with Low Kick!" Carter yelled. Sawk swept the ground from under Herdier, then kicked him into a dead faint. "I'm impressed." Chili said with a smirk. Chili then sent out Simisear. "Try taking this one down so easily!" Chili yelled with pure lust for battle. Sawk attempted Mach Punch, but Simisear countered with Fire Blast, burning Sawk a bit. Simisear used Flare Blitz on Sawk, but Sawk countered it with Hammer Arm. Sawk was finally taken down by Simisear's Fire Punch. "Shit….." Carter cursed his bad luck. The only Pokémon he had left was grass type, even more vulnerable to fire than Sawk was.

"Ready to give up yet?" Chili said with a smirk. "I still have one Pokémon left! I'm not gonna give up yet!" Carter yelled. "Go Servine!" he yelled. Servine dodged all of Simisear's attacks for a while, until Simisear is panting with fatigue. Servine then lands a Slam attack, and knocks Simisear out with a Dragon Tail. "Wow….. You beat me. You got some skills, little man!" Chili said with a grin. "Here. The Trio Badge." Cilan, Cress and Chili handed the badge over together, and Carter put it in his Badge Case. "The badge was the second biggest reason I came here. I also happen to need this place for a date." Carter scratched his head and shrugged apologetically with a lopsided grin. "Sure! We can let you have a date here!" Cilan said, beaming with joy. "Woohoo!" Carter yelled in victory!

I know, I'm a bitch for cutting you off right before the date, but I have to section it off somewhere, don't I? Anyways, see you guys at my next post. Review my fic if you enjoyed to keep it going!
