I'm so sorry! Again! I'm so sorry! I must be updating slower instead of faster! I'm so sorry! And getting Pearl might make it harder to update since I'm already addicted to the game!
I apologize to my long-time readers! You guys must've noticed that I update much faster in my last story!
Oh yeah, I just tallied up some votes for who Amy should end up with, Ivan's in the lead so far. Just so you guys know.
Goldenrod City, ah, what a place indeed.
"Badge number 3 here I come!" Amy shouted and reached a fist to the sky. You can just see the fire burning in her eyes and around her.
"Awe already?" Terri asked when Amy started walking out of the center.
"Yes! I want my third badge!" Amy replied,
"Pika pika!" Pikachu agreed. Both were full of energy today. Isaac walked up to them and held up a belt,
"Yes, I know you want to but you can't battle with just Pikachu, Amy," he said. Apparently, Amy left her Pokéballs behind and she anime falls upon the realization.
"Amy, can we please wait until later? I want to see the radio station!' said Terri excitedly.
"I actually want to see Amy battle, what about you, Rose?" Isaac asked but when he turned to where Rose was supposedly sitting, she wasn't there.
"Rose?" Isaac repeated.
"Togi?"
As on cue, Rose came running towards them,
"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late! I saw this really cute guy! And…" Rose continued on. Isaac grew an anime vein,
"SHUT UP!" he snapped and Rose immediately stopped.
"I'm getting sick and tired of you always being late because you saw this guy which is absolutely pathetic! You always hold us up! Do you even stop and think for once of…anything?"
Everyone stayed silent, even Togepi was scared from what just happened…and started crying.
"Huh? Ah, Togepi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. There, there, it's alright," said Isaac who took Togepi off his shoulder and started comforting Togepi.
Rose lowers her head,
"I'm sorry…" she apologized but Isaac didn't say anything.
"Hn…alright, let's figure out what we're going to do," said Isaac, turning to the others.
It seems that Terri really wanted to go see the radio station so he left right away when they all OK'd it. Isaac and Amy are heading for the gym as planned.
"I…I really want to go see the Day Care center," said Rose, a bit quiet.
"What? You're going to miss my battle?" Amy pouted,
"If we're in a hurry than I won't be able to see the Day Care again, probably at least. But I'll get to see you battle any time," Rose pointed out and Amy sighed,
"Oh alright, have fun then!" said Amy, "Come on Pikachu, we're getting badge number three!"
Rose made her way to the Day Care and looked around,
"Where is he?" Rose asked out loud.
"I wanted to explain to the others that the cute guy I met works at the Day Care here. He said to bring my friends along but…"
"SHUT UP! I'm getting sick and tired of you always being late because you saw this guy which is absolutely pathetic! You always hold us up! Do you even stop and think for once of…anything?"
Rose looked down at the ground, saddened at the thought.
"Rose! Back already? Hey, are you okay?"
Rose looked up at the boy who is carrying an egg. He is a whole head higher than Rose; he has long dark brown hair tied in a down pony tail. The hair on his head is a bit spiky and long which sometimes covers his eyes. He wore a simple white shirt with a long blue vest and long baggy blue pants to match his sky blue eyes.
"I'm fine! Perfectly fine, Mark!" said Rose and did a nervous laugh.
"Really? You seemed a lot more cheerful when I saw you about 20 minutes ago. Come on in, there are a lot of great Pokémon here!" said Mark and Rose followed him into the Day Care,
"I'm sorry Mark; one of my friends is going to get her third badge today! Well I know she will! One of my other friends is checking out the radio station. I'll bring them over when they're done," Rose explained and Mark puts the egg back on a shelf lined up with Pokémon eggs.
"That's fine, Rose, I'm just glad you came back at least. Hey, didn't you say you had three friends?" Mark asked when he realized Rose only mentioned two people.
"Oh, um…he's, he's watching my friend win her third badge," said Rose but you can hear the disappointment in her voice which Mark noticed right away.
"Did something happen, Rose?" he asked and Rose shook her head.
"No! Nothing too bad!"
"Oh, if you're sure. Oh! I almost forgot to ask you. You seem like the creative and a person with good style. Have you ever thought of becoming a Pokémon coordinator?" Mark asked and Rose blinked a couple of times,
"Pokémon coordinator? Well I never thought about it…"
"I used to participate in contests before I found my passion for taking care of Pokémon at a Day Care like this. It's really fun, and I miss participating. So I was wondering, do you and you Pokémon mind being an audience for me?" Mark asked,
"Huh? Well, sure, I guess," said Rose, a bit surprised.
"I miss the performing for others and performing for Pokémon isn't the same as performing for at least one other person. The other people that work are too busy with other work and they've already seen plenty of my performances. So that's why I would like to perform for you," Mark explained and then Rose nodded,
"Okay then!"
Mark took Rose to the open area where they keep other people's Pokémon and she let out her own Pokémon. Some other Pokémon gathered to watch Mark perform.
Rose held her Eevee on her lap and everyone clapped as Mark got a Pokéball ready.
"Okay, come on out my friend, Starmie!"
A Starmie appeared and Mark threw in a pile of leaves.
"Use twister!"
Starmie started spinning and the leaves rose up into the sky,
"Now use ice beam!"
The ice bream froze all the leaves,
"Use Swift!"
The stars hit all the ice and shattered.
"Use Reflect!"
Using Reflect plus the glitter from the ice and the sun in the sky, it gave the turned the whole area in a sparkly stage.
"Great job, Starmie! I'm sorry that was so short but that's all I have for now!" said Mark but all the Pokémon and Rose were impressed as they clapped and/or cheered.
"Great job, Mark! That was awesome!" Rose complimented.
"Thanks, but that just a quick idea I thought of from the top of my head," said Mark and Rose was surprised,
"Really? You thought of a performance that quickly?" Rose asked,
"Well yes. That performance was pretty to simple, at least to me it was. I've had my Starmie shoot things with swift, like I just did, plenty of times so it knew what to do even though we've never practiced this before," Mark explained and patted his Starmie.
"How do you tell if a Pokémon is a boy or girl? Or even...genderless?" Rose asked and knelt down to Starmie's height.
"Well some Pokémon it's easy to tell because of their characteristics. Take a look at that Aipom over there," Mark pointed, "See the hair on the Aipom's head? A female on has longer hair. This one has pretty short hair so it's male," Mark explained.
"Oh...oh! Hey, I have this friend named Ray. We run into him a lot on our journey. His Pikachu's tail…it's..." Rose wasn't sure how to describe it.
"It has a little groove on it? That's because his Pikachu is a girl," Mark explained.
"I see…" said Rose nodding her head, "But, what about Pokémon that don't have these characteristics?" Rose asked,
"Well it can be hard for someone without experience in my department. But wasn't your father a Pokémon breeder?" Mark asked now sitting on the ground and holding some Pokémon that wanted to play with him.
"Yes, but I really don't know all that much. I know the basics of how to tell a Pokemon's health and such but nothing like how to tell a female from a male," Rose explained.
"I see, well there's nothing wrong with that. It's a little hard to explain how you tell a female from male without physical characteristics differences. Let's see…if I had to guess…I think your Eevee is female," said Mark looked at Rose's Eevee.
"Eie!" Eevee smiled cutely.
"Wow you are good!" said Rose.
"Thanks. But Rose, I'm not just good at reading Pokémon; I can read people pretty well too. And ever since you came back, I keep thinking that something's wrong. But am I wrong?" Mark asked and Rose's face expression changed.
"I don't know…" she replied and looked away.
"We can talk about it if you want," said Mark.
"Maybe…"
"Rose, I can understand if you don't want to talk about it with me since we just met today. But if you don't want to talk about to your friends then that's a problem," said Mark and Rose looked at him.
"I can't! My problems are about my friends!"
"Okay! That's the way, Pikachu!" Amy cheered as Pikachu was taking on a Whitney's Miltank.
Isaac was standing against the wall and for once, wasn't paying attention to the battle.
"Rose sounded pretty upset, do you I said something wrong?" Isaac asked Togepi,
"Togi?"
"What am I doing? I'm talking to a baby! That can't even speak human language for that matter!"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"So that's what happened," said Mark after Rose finished up her story. The two were inside having a drink and snack. Rose and Mark sat opposite of each other on the kitchen table with Eevee on Rose's lap.
"I didn't mean to upset Isaac like that. I mean, he gets annoyed pretty easily but I didn't think he'd get so mad," said Rose sadly.
"I guess everyone has their limit and I guess Isaac reached his," said Mark and drank some more of his juice.
"What if he's still mad at me? I actually wanted to go see Amy's battle but I was too scared to go because Isaac was going too! So I decided to come back here…" Rose explained.
"If he's a real friend, he'll forgive you. Since you two are separated, his head should be cooling down now," Mark pointed out,
"I guess so…"
"Don't worry about it. From what you've told me, Isaac seems like on of those stubborn hot-headed people and would kill anyone who's talking about him behind his back."
Isaac sneezed.
"Are you sick, Isaac?" Amy asked without taking her eyes off her prize for the day, the Plain Badge.
"No…" said Isaac while rubbing his nose.
"You've been sneezing a lot lately," said Amy,
"Pika, pi," Pikachu agreed.
"Togi!"
"Someone must be talking about me…and once I find out who, they're dead!"
"Come on, Isaac, cheer up…I got my third badge!" Amy nearly squealed as she jumped up and down. Isaac watched her do that for a few seconds before grabbing her and dragging away.
"Come on, lets find Terri and Rose," he said.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Go Eevee! Follow Mark's Furret!" said Rose as Furret was taking Eevee through a small obstacle and doing some tricks.
"It's harder than it looks…" said Rose as she watches her Eevee and Mark's Furret.
"It takes practice. Don't worry about it Rose…say, Rose?"
"Yes?"
"Have you ever thought of taking up the Pokémon breeding career or maybe even do what I do?" Mark asked and Rose looked slightly surprised.
"I don't know…I really don't know," said Rose in a whisper.
"Maybe…stay here in Goldenrod? With me?" Mark asked touching her shoulder.
Rose didn't see that offer coming. Usually, she'd jump up for a big 'YES!' for any offer like this but for it to actually be happening…Rose didn't know to do decide.
When Rose went back to the Pokémon Center, she was confronted by Amy,
"Rose! Where have you been? We looked everywhere for you! We were so worried!"
"I'm sorry…" Rose apologized.
"Well, its okay I guess…but don't do it again!" Amy scolded,
"Yes, I won't," said Rose with a light smile.
"Oh! Rose! I won! I won my third badge!" said Amy showing Rose her prize for the day.
"Wow! I knew you could do it, Amy! I never doubted you for a second!"
"Thanks! So how was the Pokémon Day Care?" Amy asked.
"Oh…uh, it was great!" Rose replied with a smile.
"Really? I guess we can go see it tomorrow before we leave! That's okay right?" Amy asked and Rose hesitated on the answer,
"…yeah, its okay," said Rose with a fake smile and headed to their room upstairs in the center, "I'm going to bed, guys," she said leaving Amy, Terri, and Isaac downstairs.
"But it's only 8," said Terri.
"I'm really tired. I had a long day today," said Rose on the stairs.
"Well okay…" said Terri and Rose continued on her way. Isaac got up from his seat where his Mareep and Jolteon lied next to his feet and carefully stepped over them to follow Rose. He stopped and leaned on the wall of the corridor with the shoulder that Togepi wasn't on.
"What's wrong?" he asked Rose who kept walking but stopped when she heard Isaac and when her hand touched the doorknob.
"What do you mean?" Rose asked.
"I'm not that stupid. When you come back from something, you like to talk nonstop about what you did, what happened, and who you met. And you never go to sleep at 8, no matter how tired you are," Isaac pointed out.
"I'm fine…I just have a lot on my mind right now," said Rose and looked at the door in front of her.
"Did something happen at the Day Care?" Isaac asked,
"I said nothing and I'm fine," said Rose but more firmly.
"Was it…something I said this morning?"
"I said I'm fine now leave me alone!" Rose snapped and opened the door and slammed the door behind her.
Isaac stood there wide-eyed. He didn't see that kind of response from Rose coming to him.
"Togi?"
"Its okay, Togepi. Rose is just having a bad day or something," said Isaac and took Togepi off his shoulder and held the baby in his arms as he walked downstairs to join his other Pokémon.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Rose sat on the top part of the bunk and was lost in thought. She took out a Pokéball and released her Eevee. Eevee shook its fur and climbed onto Rose's lap.
"What should I do Eevee?" Rose asked.
"I know it was sudden, but we both have a lot of things in common and your help here would be great! I'm the youngest one here, everyone else that works here are adults. But I love Pokémon and I love taking care of them. This is why I'm still here. Having you around would make me very happy. Can you at least think about it and give me your reply before your friends decide to leave?"
Rose kept thinking about what Mark said. Boys don't tend to do that because either they think she's weird or they already have a girlfriend. Or because she's just not the guy's tastes. Mark's different, true, but something is keeping Rose from screaming out a big 'YES!' to him. Something is, or someone…
"Come on! Let's go! Let's go!" said Amy excitedly. She wanted to see some Pokémon today but Rose hasn't come down stairs yet. When Rose finally did come down, Amy immediately headed for the door. Rose rushed after her and grabbed her arm.
"Wait! I don't want to go!" she cried.
"…You don't want to go?" Amy asked, staring at Rose in confusion.
"I can't…"
"Why not?" Terri asked when he and Isaac caught up with them.
"Because! Because…because I'll have to give him an answer…"
Amy, Terri, and Isaac exchanged looks. They all sat down and Rose started explaining what happened yesterday and what Mark offered her.
"I thought you liked him," said Amy,
"Yeah but…I don't know what to do," said Rose and looked down on the floor.
"Say no of course!" Isaac exclaimed,
"But...this would be a great opportunity for Rose," Terri pointed out,
"What opportunity? She can learn a lot more by traveling with us!" Isaac argued.
"Rose, do what you want," said Amy putting a hand on her shoulder, "Whatever decision you make, we'll be happy."
"Thanks, Amy," said Rose with a smile, "But I'm still not sure what to do and I know you really want to get to your next gym…"
"It's okay! One more day wouldn't hurt!" said Amy,
"Really? Thanks Amy!"
"Sure, we can stay one more day," said Terri and they all agreed on staying for one more day.
Isaac crossed his arms and didn't say anything on the agreement.
Isaac looked out at the field of Pokémon,
"This must be it, Togepi," said Isaac and looked at the sign that says this is it.
"Togi!"
Isaac walked in to see a few people walking around with Pokémon,
"Can I help you?" an elderly woman asked,
"No, it's okay. I'm looking for someone. Someone named Mark," said Isaac and the elderly woman nodded,
"Oh? You're a friend of Mark's? I go get him. The boy always works so hard, he deserves a break," she said and walked out towards the back.
"I never said we were friends…" Isaac mumbled to himself.
Mark came in and saw Isaac,
"Are you the one looking for me? I'm Mark," he greeted.
"You're the guy that spent time with Rose yesterday?" Isaac asked and looked at the guy. He wasn't as 'cool' as he expected.
"Oh! You must be one of Rose's friends! Nice to meet you!"
"Uh, yeah…listen! I can't believe you invited someone you just met on the same day to stay in Goldenrod like that!" Isaac nearly scolded this stranger.
"…" Mark looked around and then took Isaac outside in case this guy happens to have a temper or something.
"Rose is a very nice girl, I can tell. My instincts are almost never wrong," said Mark, "Ooh…nice Togepi!"
"Don't touch the baby! But I'm not here to discuss Togepi with you! How do I know Rose will be in good hands here in Goldenrod?" Isaac asked,
"Well I can understand that you'll be concerned for her. But if she can't be on her own here I'm sure my family will gladly let her stay at my place," said Mark and Isaac grew an anime vein.
"Not if I have something to say about it! Battle me, right here, right now!"
"What?"
"You heard me! I challenge you to a battle!"
"Sure?"
The two got into position. Some Pokémon and workers gathered to watch.
"Don't they have anything better to do?" Isaac asked when he saw the crowd,
"Apparently not," Mark shrugged.
"How does 3-on-3 sound?" Isaac asked and Mark nodded,
"Sure!"
"And we'll be our own judges?"
"Okay!"
"Alright then, Jolteon go!" Isaac called out his most trusted partner.
"Jolt!"
"Jolteon huh? Interesting because you're going to face my Flareon!" Mark sends out a flaming Flareon.
"Yeah well bring it on! Jolteon! Thunderbolt!"
"Dodge with Quick attack!"
Flareon charged ahead and thunderbolt missed completely when Flareon hits Jolteon head on.
"Now Flareon use Shadowball and then Flamethrower!"
The Shadowball was launched and then engulfed in flames making it a fire ball and hit Jolteon directly.
"What's with this guy? He keeps thinking up of all these combinations to dodge and attack!" Isaac thought as a sweat appeared on his face.
"Jolteon! Pin Missile!"
"Flareon! Use Double Team to dodge! And counterattack with Hidden Power! Use Ember to power them up!"
Jolteon missed by a mile when all the Flareon appeared and used Hidden Power and Ember making probably hundreds of floating orbs making it even harder to tell which is the real one!
"This is it, Amy," said Rose when she brought Amy to the Day Care to meet Mark. But when they asked for Mark, they were told to go out to the back.
"Is that Isaac?" Amy exclaimed pointing at her blue-haired cousin.
"What's he doing here? And what's he doing here battling Mark?" Rose exclaimed also in shock.
But what's really shocking is that Isaac losing badly!
"Jolteon? Can you go on?" Isaac asked when Jolteon was struggling to stand up. But Jolteon couldn't, he collapsed.
"No way! Isaac lost?" Amy was shocked when Jolteon hit the ground.
"Great job, Flareon," said Mark petting his flame Pokémon as Isaac recalled Jolteon.
"Ready for round two?" Isaac asked, hinting anger in his voice.
"Sure! I'll choose first! Go Starmie!"
"That's the Starmie I told you about!" Rose pointed.
"Mareep! Go!"
"Go Mareep! Tackle attack!"
"Starmie! Use Twister and spin out of harm's way!"
Starmie started spinning and dodged by jumping up into the air.
"Now use Ice beam!"
Isaac's brain started doing some quick thinking when he saw the ice beam ready to fire.
"Mareep! Use Flash!"
The light blinded Starmie and Mark for a moment and Ice beam missed.
"Quick thunderbolt!"
"Starmie! Bubblebeam! And then Psychic!" The psychic controlled the bubblebeam's movements and took the hit for Starmie.
"Look at that combo!" said Amy in awe.
"You haven't seen anything yet!" said Rose.
"Okay, I'm getting a hang of how this guy battles. Well two can play at this game!" Isaac thought and smirked.
"Mareep! Shock wave!"
"Use Light Screen!"
"Now follow that up with Swift attack and then Tackle!" Isaac added.
"What?"
Mark was shocked by Isaac's sudden change in style that Starmie took the damage.
"Now Mareep! Use Swift again and then thunderbolt!"
The stars become electric charged and attacked Starmie, and paralyzed it making Starmie unable to move.
"Finish this with Thunder!"
The battles are now getting intense now that they both lost one and won one.
"Great job, Starmie, take a good rest," Mark called back his Starmie.
The two looked at each other and were ready to call out their last Pokémon.
"Go Pichu!"
"Pi! Pichu!"
"So cute!" Rose and Amy squealed.
Isaac bent down and took Togepi off his shoulder,
"Go for it Togepi!"
Rose and Amy anime falls.
"Is he insane?" Amy exclaimed,
"But even Mark sent out a cute Pokémon!" said Rose.
"Pichu! Quick attack go!"
"Togepi! Side step!" Togepi moved to the side and Pichu passed right through and hits a tree.
"Now Togepi! Metronome!"
"Quick Pichu! Thundershock!"
Togepi's metronome took effect and the ground started shaking.
"Amy! Better hang onto something! It's a high Magnitude!" Rose exclaimed and climbed up a tree.
Pichu took heavy damage.
"No good! Pichu can't afford to use an attack that this guy can't think through! Isaac's a good strategist and after watching me and all my moves he picks up on it and uses it against me! I have to take a gamble with effort," Mark thought.
"Pichu! Volt Tackle!"
"Volt Tackle? Whoa, big risk. But that means I can't risk using Metronome. I need to use a different attack to defend and counter with!" Isaac thought,
"Now use Ancient Power!"
Pichu hit Togepi with the attack but then Pichu got hit by Ancient Power.
Everyone stayed silent as they watch to see what will happen.
Pichu hit the ground…and doesn't get up.
"Pichu!" Mark rushed to his Pichu.
"Togepi!" Isaac knelt down and caught his Togepi who was falling backwards.
Both picked their Pokémon up,
"I guess it's a tie?" Mark asked,
"I guess so…Poor Togepi wasn't ready I guess," said Isaac and held his Togepi close.
"Mark! Isaac! That was awesome!" said Rose running up to them along with Amy.
"Rose!" Both Mark and Isaac exclaimed in surprise in unison. Isaac did a quick glare at Mark. But he soon forgot about Mark when he felt something hit his head.
"How could you do that to Togepi?" Amy scolded and continued to smack Isaac in the head with a fan.
"Ow! Ow! Stop it Amy!"
Mark recalled Pichu to his Pokéball and confronted Rose.
"Have you…decided?" Mark asked,
"Yes, I have," said Rose nodding.
"So…?"
"I…"
Isaac looked over at Rose and wanted to stop her before she says yes.
"I…am sorry. But I'm not ready to settle down and work with Pokémon. I want to go explore this world with my friends! But…I might consider this place when I am ready," said Rose and smiled.
Isaac lets out a sigh of relief.
"Okay…I completely understand. Rose, I hope you find that person that will stay in your heart forever…" said Mark and then turns to Amy who actually continued smacking Isaac but he doesn't seem to feel it now.
"Amy Ketchum right?" Mark asked and Amy stopped to look at him.
"It's nice to finally meet you. I know you're heading out soon. Please come back so I can battle the Pokémon Master's daughter," said Mark and shook hands with Amy.
"A battle? Hey! We can do it right now! Or tomorrow when you heal your Pokémon!"
"Really? But I thought you were in a hurry," said Mark,
"Hey, half a day already passed, no point in going now really. We can battle later today or first thing tomorrow morning! " said Amy with a shrug.
"Well okay then! That would be great! Oh! Yes, I remember what I supposed to give you," said Mark and started digging in his pockets.
"Give me?" Amy asked and a question mark was clearly visible above her head. Mark took out an envelope and handed it to Amy,
"This is from my good buddy, Ray. When Rose mentioned him yesterday I knew that you were here. Ray passed by some time ago and told me to hand this to Amy Ketchum," Mark explained and Amy took the envelope.
"My, Ray knows everyone!" said Rose,
"Ray gets around a lot. Especially since his parents and relatives do that a lot themselves," Mark explained and then looked at Isaac who only grunted and looked away.
"You're a very lucky man, Isaac," said Mark and walked back into the Day Care,
"Huh?" Isaac blinked a couple of times in confusion. What was he talking about?
The sun was setting and Amy was still at the Day Care watching all the Pokémon and Mark working. Amy finally opened the envelope to look at it, her hearth thumping wildly.
Hey Amy, it's Ray.
I really hope you did get this letter. There's a lot to learn from Mark. If you didn't already battle the gym when you got this, I wish you luck in your gym battle! But I know you'll win anyway. If you and your friends can spare the time or pass by it. Go to Bonitaville. I'm sure you guys remember Zane and Suzy right? They are going to be there for a contest as will I. There are two contests taking place there. One is for the beauty and condition of Pokémon which Zane and Suzy are entering. The other contest in which I'm entering for the day is a Pokémon Contest. You might've heard of them by now. I was invited by Zane and Suzy and when I found out there was a Pokémon Contest there, I decided I might as well have some fun. You have a while to get there; I've included information on Bonitaville so everything you need to know is in the brochure. I really look forward to seeing you again, Amy. I hope Butterfree is doing well too. I hope to see you there!
-Ray
Amy blushed and her heart continued to thump faster than normal.
"Bonitaville? I'm there if you're going to be there, Ray! Oh no…Butterfree! I better start working with Butterfree, I can't let Ray down who helped me and Butterfree get together. I won't let you down, Ray!" Amy thought to herself and then looked at Pikachu next to her who was reading the letter with her,
"Want to see Volta again?" Amy asked and Pikachu nodded,
"Pika!"
"Amy! Amy!" Rose waved to get Amy's attention,
"What?" she asked getting up and walked up to Rose.
"I'm evolving my Eevee!" said Rose holding up a red stone.
"You are?"
"Yup!" Rose knelt down and touched Eevee with her Fire stone and Eevee started to glow and change until finally, a Flareon was in its place!
"Flare!"
"Flareon? What made you decide, Rose?" Amy asked,
"Well I always thought Vaporeon and Flareon were the prettiest of the Eevee evolutions and because now I can remember Mark better!" said Rose and hugged her Flareon. Amy smiled,
"That's great!"
The next morning:
"I'm not going easy on you!" said Amy to Mark when it was their turn to battle. Since Terri missed the battle between Isaac and Mark, he was glad they woke him up for this.
"Neither will I!"
"Go Pikachu!"
"Go Flareon!"
The battle started and when Amy and her friends leave Goldenrod, they didn't lose anything. They've gained a new badge, a new friend, and new memories.
Next: After getting lost once again while heading for Bonitaville, they were rescued by Officer Jenny. After learning about this fire-fighter competition, Amy meets up with her father's own Squirtle!
Oh yeah! I'm trying to re-write the song "Two Perfect Girls." We know that Rose is in love with both Isaac and Ray so I'm rewriting the song to make it "Two Perfect Boys" and it's hard! Any ideas for a line would help. Thanks!
Please R and R!
