Nils, Ren and Firenze had arrived in Celadon City the next day and decided to have lunch before Nils' Gym Battle. "Hey guys," said Nils, "I've heard of this restaurant here that has a good reputation." "Why don't we have lunch there?
"That doesn't sound too bad," said Firenze
After the decision, the trio started to go to the restaurant to get lunch.
Meanwhile at a nearby bridal shop, Tana, who was also in Celadon City, was searching for a wedding dress she could wear for hers and Nils' wedding. She was in a fitting room and was trying on a dress with thin straps, a gown that went down to barely above her feet and had a diameter of four feet, and a veil that covered her hair and went down to her waist.
"I feel like a combination of beautiful and gorgeous," said Tana.
"Does this mean this will be your dress," asked an employee who was helping Tana try on the dress.
"Perhaps," answered Tana, "But I want to see what my Pokemon think of it," and she sent out her Squirtle, Scyther, Teddiursa and Hippopotas. "What do you guys think of this dress," Tana asked her Pokemon as she spun around and her Pokemon all approved. "That settles it, this is my wedding dress."
Tana then put her regular clothes back on, bought the dress and started going to the same restaurant that Nils, Ren and Firenze were going to.
As the trio were walking to the restaurant, Nils noticed something in the distance that was heading towards them. After taking a closer look, Nils realized it was Tana and he started to run to her. Nils and Tana ran to each other then stopped right when they were in front of each other and then hugged.
"Nils, I'm so glad to see you," said Tana, "I really missed you."
"I missed you too Tana," said Nils as the hug ended, "I'm glad you're doing ok."
"Is this a friend of yours," asked Firenze as she and Ren walked over to the couple.
"This is Tana," introduced Nils, "We've known each other since we were five." "Tana, this is Firenze and that's Ren."
"Pleased to meet you," said Tana.
"The pleasure is all ours," said Firenze.
"What's in the bag," asked Ren who noticed Tana was carrying a large shopping bag and became curious over what was inside.
"This," said Tana as she lifted the bag, "It's my wedding dress."
"Your wedding dress," asked a confused Firenze.
"Well I was going to tell you this eventually when I thought you both were ready but I guess I'll tell you now," said Nils.
"Tell us what," asked Ren.
"Tana and I are an engaged couple," answered Nils, "And we're getting married at the Pokemon League."
"What," shouted Firenze, "But you're both too young to get married."
"That may be true," said Tana, "But we both love and trust each other too much to wait." "Also, it's not like we're rushing things, We've known each other for five years and have been dating for three years."
"I still think this is wrong," said Firenze
"Well I think it's awesome," said Ren.
"Anyway," said Tana, "I'm guessing you three are going to the same restaurant that I'm going to for lunch." "Maybe all four of us can eat there together."
"Good idea," said Nils and the four of them then went into the restaurant for lunch.
During lunch, Tana and Nils told each other how their journeys were going.
"So you're the Cinnabar Gym leader," Tana asked Firenze who nodded with an angry look. "That's so cool, my dad always told me stories about how he traveled with Gym Leaders."
"So have you challenged the Gym Leader here yet," Nils asked Tana.
"I did," answered Tana, "And I won the badge too." "By the way, that happened this morning so you have to wait until tomorrow to have your turn."
"Well there's only one thing I can do now," said Nils as the group paid for the food.
"What's that," asked Ren.
"Well," answered Nils, "Since Tana has her dress, I should buy my tuxedo."
"Nils," said Tana, "I think Firenze and I should go to the park and talk about this since she has a problem with our engagement." "Meanwhile, you should take Ren with you to the store."
After that, the girls went to the park while the boys went to a store where Nils could buy a tuxedo. At first, Nils had trouble choosing which tuxedo he should try but after half an hour, he decided to try a black one with a blue bow tie.
"What do you think guys," Nils asked his Pokemon as he tried on the tuxedo and they all liked it. "I guess I'll be buying it," and Nils bought the tuxedo and left with Ren.
On their way to the park, Nils noticed a jewelry store and decided to go in to buy rings. He then bought two rings that looked exactly alike except one was gold and the other was silver. The boys then went to the park and found the girls talking as if they were close friends.
"How did it go," asked Nils. who looked confused since Firenze was silent and mad earlier.
"It went great," answered Tana, "After some talking, Firenze began to accept things and is now friendly to me." "Also I decided to ask her to be my maid of honor and she accepted."
"That's right," said Firenze, "Also, I'm sorry for being against your wishes earlier."
"It's alright," said Nils, "It's common for people to react that way when these things happen."
"By the way Nils," said Tana, "I was thinking the two of us should have a battle." "Would that be fine?"
"Sure," answered Nils and the engaged couple prepared for battle.
