Frank and Taylor walk out of Professor Oak's lab with Ash, Ash turns around and shakes Frank's hand. "Hope that one day you accomplish your dreams and that we can battle." Then let's go of Frank's hand and begins to shake Taylor's hand. "Hopefully you can become a top coordinator and the both of you can benefit each other." As Ash, Frank and Taylor walked to the entrance gates; Ash walked towards the direction of his house, as Frank and Taylor walked towards Route 1 looking back to see Ash and Pikachu waving goodbye.
As Frank and Taylor reached the outskirts of Pallet Town, Frank notices a video phone booth. The two stop and Frank turns to Taylor. "If you don't mind, I need to call Professor Rowan. I forgot to call him when we were at Professor Oak's lab."
Taylor with an understanding look on her face shakes her head in approval. "Well if you need too, then I'll just wait here till you get back." The moment Frank closed and locked the door, Taylor takes a huge sigh of relief and sits on the ground. Why do I seem so nervous around him, I just met him today and it feels like I've known him my entire life. But why? When she looks up after hearing the door open, she quickly gets up and brushes herself off. "So, is everything set?"
As Frank walked over to Taylor, he goes over and leans towards her. "You like me don't you?" Taylor staring in shock turns as red as a tomato then slaps Frank. "Ouch! What was that for I was only joking…" Frank holding his face, decides to walk away before messing with Taylor again. "Damn that hurt."
As Frank and Taylor made their way down Route 1, they begin the notice it getting late and they are still 2 hours away from Viridian City. "Frank it's getting late and I'm really tired from traveling by foot, can't we make camp here for the night." Frank turns around and notice he's being started at with puppy-dog eyes.
Frank trying to fight then realizes something. "I got remembered I had a bike." Taylor with a confused look on her face stares at Frank, as he removes a foldable bike from his backpack. Frank grabbed to cylinders and screws them to both sides on the back wheel of his bike. "If I drive the bike, and you hang onto me while standing on the pegs. We can make it to Viridian City in 20 minutes or less."
"You mean to tell me, that you've had this bike the whole time and you are telling me this now?"
"I forgot about considering I was a boat travelling to Kanto for almost SIXTEEN HOURS. But if you don't mind I'd like to sleep in nice bed, instead of a tent." Taylor giving a quick groan then walks over to the bike. As she gradually gets onto the bike, Taylor wonder more of what type of person Frank is. The moment she grabs Frank's waist tightly, Frank begins to pedal extremely fast. "Luckily this is a 3-gear bike, allowing us to move extremely fast with very little effort."
After 15 minutes the two children reach the gate of Viridian City. Officer Jenny walks from the security office and notices the two children. "Welcome to Viridian City, I need to see your IDs." Taylor confused looks at the officer, as Frank reaches into his back pocket and pulls out his Pokédex and gave Officer Jenny on the information about him. Seeing this, Taylor opens her bag and grabs her Pokédex also. "Here are your Pokédexs back, and have a wonderful time in Viridian City." After about 5 minutes after being allowed within the city limits, Frank and Taylor arrive at the Pokémon Center. After registering for the Pokémon League, Frank decides that it would also be a good idea to get rooms for him and Taylor. "Nurse Joy, do you have any rooms still available?"
The Young, Pink haired nurse gives the boy a warming smile. "Why yes. We have one room available with two twin beds." Even though Frank worried about what Taylor would say, he took the room and headed towards the cafeteria, where Taylor was located eating a small Caesar Chicken salad.
When Frank got himself a bottle of water and a bag of sun chips, he went to sit with Taylor. Noticing how small Frank's meal was, she started having questions about him. "Frank, if you don't mind can I ask you a couple of questions about yourself."
Frank's looking up from his bag of chips, gives Taylor a gentle smile and swallows the chips he was eating. "You can ask me anything you want, but I won't answer anything personal and if you don't mind I like all the questions to be asked at once. Is that okay?"
Taylor shook her head in approval, then takes in a deep breath. "What Pokémon did you start with? Did you catch any Pokémon on your way to Kanto? What's your favorite type of Pokémon? Do you like being with me?" After saying the final question, Taylor blushes red like a tomato yet again.
Frank's eyes bulged out his head when hearing the last question, then takes in a deep breath. "I started off with a Chimchar, which I named Blitz. Yes, I caught a Shinx named Rayne, on my way to the port of Jubilife City my favorite type of Pokémon are Fire types because of the burning passion I feel along with them. I think you are a wonderful person, and hopefully we can grow to be really good friends on this journey…" Frank then sees Taylor's eyes light up. "Now my question for you is, what Pokémon did you get from Professor Oak?"
"Why don't I just show you." Taylor pulls out a pokéball, then releases the creature from within it. It reveals to be a Bulbasaur.
Frank gets out of the bench, and picks up the Bulbasaur. After examining it, Frank pulls in the Pokémon and gives it a big hug. "Welcome to the family, little guy." Frank then looks over to Taylor, who's kind of jealous. "So did you decide to give the little guy a nickname?"
Taylor is handed back her Pokémon, begins to think. "I think I'm going to name him… Florence." The Bulbasaur then begins to giggle and cheer. "I think he likes the name." Then Taylor remembers something and reaches into her back and pulls out a Pokéball with a note on it. "The professor asked me to give this to you before we left. He said it was a new Pokémon for you since he could let the little guy fell left out since his friends where taken and he wasn't."
Frank read the note to himself, then stared at the ball for a short while. After staring for 2 minutes he decides it's time to reveal his new Pokémon. The ball opens up, releasing a white light that hits the ground. Once the light completely hits the ground it begins to take the shape. The light reveals to be a Squirtle, and the moment it's eyes landed on Frank it jumps into his arms. "Blast the Squirtle."
After finishing dinner, Frank and Taylor headed to their room. Frank explained to Taylor about why they needed to share and room, which she fully understood. When the two reached the room, Frank had fallen asleep in the bed and Taylor got ready in the bathroom. When she walked out, she noticed Frank fast asleep. So she walked over to him and gentle kissed him on his forehead. "Good night, sweet prince." She then quickly climbed into bed and fell into a deep sleep.
