After winning her badge from Ashlynn, Raven and the other two were outside the Pokemon Center.
"So, what are you two planning to do now?" asked Ashlynn.
"I never thought of it, I just want to just travel and meet people and all kinds of Pokemon," said Apple.
"If you're alright with it, you can travel with me," said Raven with a smile as she moved a strand of hair out of her face.
"That sounds nice," said Apple as she smiled and a slight blush came to her cheeks.
"Hey, Apple, can I talk to you for a minute over there?" asked Ashlynn as she motioned to a table that was a little ways away.
"Sure thing," said Apple. The two then moved over to where Ashlynn had indicated.
"What's up, Ashlynn?" asked Apple.
"I'm just wondering, since you didn't tell her your last name, did you tell her that you're gay?" asked Ashlynn with a teasing smile.
"No, that never came up, and don't say anything to her," said Apple as the blush deepened.
"You have it bad for her, don't?" asked Ashlynn with a giggle as they headed back over to Raven.
"What's so funny?" asked Raven.
"Oh, Apple had forgotten that my boyfriend is the Gym Leader over in Sherwood Forest, his name is Hunter Huntsman, and now she's embarrassed that she forgot something so simple," said Ashlynn.
"I've done something similar, and we should head that way for the next Gym, we can even say hi for you," said Raven.
"That would be great, thank you," said Ashlynn. Apple and Raven then sat out to continue on their journey.
