Outside lightning flashed and Krystal watched Gary as he sat by himself in the rain, he looked far more relaxed and at peace than he had been when she had first met him.
"Hey, do you enjoy siting out here all by yourself?" she asked as she approached him.
"Huh," Gary said quickly turning around to face Krystal. Realizing he was only wearing his boxers, he tried to quickly get off the boulder only to end up falling onto the ground; he hadn't expected to see her or anyone out here.
Krystal tried not to laugh, "are you alright?" she asked as she sat down on the boulder where Gary had once sat.
"Yeh, I'm fine," Gary lied, groaning as he sat up on the ground to see Krystal perched on top of his boulder.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you like that," she said honestly, as she watched Vaporeon move over and nuzzle Gary's arm.
"Is he yours?" he asked stroking Vaporeon's sleek body.
"Yep," Krystal said abandoning the boulder and offering her hand to Gary, he took it willing.

"Ah, where are your clothes?" Krystal asked, looking Gary up and down.
"Oh...ah..." Gary mumbled, blushing slightly as he walked around the boulder bending over momentarily to pick up his clothes that he had left atop a smaller rock.
"Well are you going to spend all night out here? Or are you going to come back to the cave while it still seems light enough for us to find it?" Krystal asked jokingly, turning towards the direction she had come from watching Gary nod slightly as she did so.
"Come on Vaporeon!" she called out over the rain and thunder before a blue blur sped past her and Gary leading the way to the cave.
"He's fast," Gary commented as he and Krystal, with the help of the lightning, tried to keep up with her Vaporeon as he ran around tree trunks and jumped boulders.
"Flareon's out of her pokeball, they get along well together, so that's probably why he's moving so fast," Krystal said as a lightning flash illuminated the surrounding forest allowing her to see the cave mouth.

"Oh good, you're back, I was starting to think that maybe you had gotten lost as well," Misty said, yawning as she propped her self up on her elbows when she noticed Krystal enter the cave followed by Gary.
"Vaporeon showed us the way, though it is dark out there now," Krystal said, shaking the water off her body slightly as she moved to sit beside her Flareon, Vaporeon was already there curled up next to her.
"Ah Gary, why are you only wearing your boxers?" Ash questioned, trying hard not to laugh, he had woken up when Misty had started talking and now was also sitting up and looking at their two soaked travelling companions.
"None of your business Loser," Gary replied laying out his clothes beside Flareon,
"Loser? Gary it is you who is the loser, I won remember," Ash said proudly, watching as Gary fumed.

"You two can fight all you want about this but I'm going to sleep, goodnight," Krystal said lying down and closing her eyes.
"I think she's got the right idea Ash," Misty said as she lay back down and the cave floor, shivering slightly at the coldness of it. Gary turned to the wall, still fuming, while Ash huffed and rolled onto his side to face Misty who seemed to be asleep, Brock on the other side of the cave hadn't said anything nor made a move so Gary assumed him to be asleep. It was sometime later into the night when Gary looked over to Krystal to see she still had her eyes opened slightly,
"I thought you were going to sleep?" He asked looking down at her from where he stood.

"Some things are..." she yawned, "easier said then done," she finished quietly opening her sparkling blue eyes properly.
"So... are you like an Eevee evolution collector?" Gary asked trying to make convocation as he sat down beside her,
"I'm training to be the Worlds Greatest Eevee Evolutions Trainer, actually," she replied.
"Oh ok, So are these your only evolutions or do you have others?" Gary asked as he lent against the cave wall only to sit forward again due to the cold feel on his skin.
"I've got others," Krystal answered as she sat up reaching for her bag before drawing a few more pokeballs from her bag pocket. She released them and her Umbreon, Espeon, Jolteon and her other Eevee appeared in blazes of red light.
"You've got all of them!" Gary said sounding kind of amazed, "that must of taken forever," he added before he summoned his Umbreon who promptly went over and greeted Krystals.

"Yes it did, though it didn't always feel like it did, when we were having fun that is," Krystal said sleepyly, as she watched Gary's Umbreon greet hers her eyelids dropping slightly but the snapped open again as she grabbed her jacket and put it on, her top was already dry.
"Your clothes should also be dry now," she said yawning as she lay back down on the cave floor.
"Oh, thanks," Gary said as he stood up and walked over to pick up his clothes from beside Flareon as Krystal closed her eyes. "Goodnight," he heard her mumble lightly, he turned around to see her lying asleep on her side beside her Flareon and Vaporeon before pulling on his now warm and dry clothes.

Gary, now dressed, returned to sit beside Krystal noticing, the way her Vaporeon and Flareon were curled up together beside her, simular to his and her Umbreon. He then looked down at her as she slept and wished he could have the same king of companion ship with her. However, as he leant over to kiss her on the cheek the snickering of Ash on one side of the cave, joined by the odd chuckle from Brock on the other stopped him.

"Ash, that was cruel!" Misty quietly hissed at him, she to had been awake though just barely, she was hoping for a more romantic ending to the night that Ash so happened to ruin.
"Jeese, I'm sorry Misty, I didn't think you wanted someone like him to have one of those 'happy ending' times, anyway I couldn't help myself," he said trying not to laugh again.
"Mmmm," was all Misty said, and it was clear to Ash that she was nearly asleep.
"Don't worry, just sleep," Ash whispered in her ear, it was then he noticed that she was shivering slightly, taking of his jacket Ash draped it over her before also falling asleep on the cold cave floor.
