Mimi surfaced and came face to face with Matt, "hey" she said smiling now in a better mood, "hey" Matt said back smiling slightly but then his expression turn to that of a more uncertain look, "ah...can I ask you something?" Matt said, "sure why not" Mimi said casually. Matt looked up at Mimi "Mimi will you go out with me" he said barely a whisper but Mimi still heard it. Smiling Mimi jumped on Matt kissing him over and over again before saying "you don't know how long I have been waiting for you to ask me that." Matt smiled as he picked her up and carrying her out of the water.

Kari sat on the bank smiling as she watched her boyfriends bro carry Mimi to the rivers bank having talked to him previously, telling him to get it over and done with before he lost his chance and Brock asked her. Taking her camera off from around her neck and taking a quick photo of Matt and Mimi, Kari then called to TK and pointing to her camera.

Once TK had got everyone out of the water for a group photo Kari set the timer before leaving it on a tree branch and running to join the photo and jumping onto TK's back just before the camera flashed taking the photo. After the photo had been taken, everyone went and sat in the sun allowing those who went swimming time to dry off.

Misty lay on the cool grass between Izzy and Ash just chilling and taking things easy until Ash voiced his thoughts. "Hey since the digi people can evolve their pokemon when they want why don't they spend some time with the evolved forms so they can get to know them" Misty looked at Ash "I guess they would've if they wanted to." "Actually I never know we could do that" Izzy said "and I'm sure some of the others didn't" he added.

It was getting close to sun set and Izzy had already told Sora and the others that they could evolve their pokemon not just in battle and now Mimi was looking at her Eevee as a Flareon with Matt looked up and down at his impressive Arcanine. Sora liked her Squirtle how it was while Izzy loaded new data on his Poliwhirl onto his laptop. Tai on the other hand did the same as Sora, happy with a charmander.

TK, Kari and the rest of the gang headed off once again down the main road trying to get some more distance covered before nightfall, however they soon tired and decided to make a fire in the trees. While the guys were off collecting wood for the fire Mimi sat around with Kari, Misty and Sora patting Flareon who was lying in her lap its flames not burning her but kept her warm. Misty had been telling her about the types of fire attacks Flareon had when the guys arrived back and started to set up the fire with the help of Charmandar.

Matt sat down behind Mimi and moved her into his lap while TK did the same with Kari smirking slightly at his bro as they all enjoyed the warmth of the fires glowing flames. Yawning Sora soon found herself falling asleep on Tai's shoulder though he either didn't notice or didn't mind. Misty was already asleep curled up on the grass between Izzy and Ash, It was Brock who decided officially that they probably should sleep and rest up for the morning, both him and Ash agreeing to training the guys while Misty trained the girls if they wanted.

Mimi slowly woke up the next morning to find herself staring up at Flareon who was standing on her chest; she smiled before sitting up and picking Flareon up into her lap. Mimi then noticed that Matt was awake and talking to Ash while Misty and Izzy helped wake the others, once everyone was fully awake Ash told them that they would all get to have a go at a play battle.

First match was Sora against Matt that didn't last for long with Sora's pokemon being water and Matt's fire Sora quickly ended the match with Squirtles water gun attack. The next round was Tai against Mimi which lasted longer than Matt's and Sora's with the to fire pokemon each battling it out until Mimi won when she evolved Eevee into Vaporeon.

After a short break, it was Sora up against Izzy though Sora lost this round when Izzy evolved his Poliwag into Poliwhirl before using Hypnosis and then body slam. The next match was Misty against Mimi; with Misty's choice of pokemon being her Starmie, her first attack tackle was dodged by Mimi's Flareons quick attack before she evolved it into Joelton using thunder wave against Starmies water gun to end the battle. That was the last match they held that morning before they all ended up deciding to head off and continue their journey to Vermilion City.
