So, I've recieved a few reviews since last night, and you guys have inspired me to get out another chapter. Sorry if it's not long, but I hope you enjoy it, nonetheless!

The day was extremely peaceful. The sun was shining brightly, and there was a cool breeze that kept the temperature just right. To the Kanto League champion, these were ideal conditions for training his Pokémon.
If anyone stumbled across the young man and his team, they would see every single one training exceptionally hard. Even the trainer himself was running laps around the lake where he usually trained. This was perfect. They were in the zone. Nothing could interrupt their concentration now…
"I wanna be the very best like no one ever was!"
Red took a curious look at the Pokégear strapped to his belt. Everyone knew it was his training day. Who would call him, now? Even Pika stopped in surprise.
His question was answered with one look at the screen. He gulped. It was always best not to ignore Blue. She had her ways of getting revenge.
With a nervous breath, he answered the call and brought the device to his ear.
"Hello?"
"Hey Red!" Blue greeted. "I just wanted to congratulate you!"
"Blue, are you even listening?" Yellow's sweet soprano rang out. Red couldn't stop the extra beat he felt his heart give out. But if Blue was with Yellow, and everything was okay, why was she calling him?
"Congratulate me?" he questioned. "About what?"
Blue let out a giggle that sounded more like an excited cackle to Red's ears.
"About you and Yellow!" she squealed.
What? He felt his face heat up just a tad. It sounded almost like…
"Blue, you've got it all wrong!" Yellow objected.
"Me and Yellow?" he repeated.
"I'm just glad you finally asked her out!"
"Asked her out?" he hoped that it hadn't come out as nervous as he thought! "What are you talking about?"
"Blue, it wasn't Red that asked me out. It was Gold!"
His eyes widened in surprise.
"B-Blue?" he questioned. "Blue, what's going on?"
His throat grew dry. Had what Yellow said been true?
Of course it was true! Yellow didn't just make stuff up, like that!
And then one name rang out to him. Had Yellow said that Gold had been the one who asked her out? Red sucked in a breath of air between his teeth before calling back his Pokémon.
The following Sunday was just as sunny and beautiful as the day of Blue and Yellow's awkward outing, and it was a lot more peaceful in her garden. Blue had left rather abruptly and had even neglected to finish her coffee. The younger girl had no idea why she had been left alone at the café, but shrugged it off as Blue just being her usual self.
Her mind wandered to the topic of their discussion before her friend's abrupt departure. She immediately flushed at the thought.
It seemed almost unreal that somebody would have feelings for her, let alone someone as handsome and kind as Gold. What had surprised her even more was that he had been just as nervous as she was.
"Yellow! I've been in love with you since we were kids! Would you go out with me?"
The blonde girl stared for a moment as she processed what had just happened. Her cheeks were soon tinted with a soft pink.
"I-I d-do you r-really mean it? I mean…"
The boy seemed to have finally registered what he had just done. His face turned a bright red immediately.
"Uh… Sorry. I just… Um…"
He took a deep breath.
"I've liked you for a really long time, Yellow," he explained. "And I just finally got the courage to tell you. If you don't feel the same way, I understand. I just really wanted to tell you. Sorry I embarrassed you like that. I'll just leave."
"W-wait!" she called.
He looked at her curiously. Her cheeks darkened.
"Um, I've never really gone out with someone before, b-but maybe we can t-try going out some time and s-see if it works out. I-if it's okay with you…"
His face lit up with a large grin.
"You won't regret it, I promise!"
How could anyone say no to that sort of confession? It was the sweetest, most wonderful thing she could imagine. She hadn't thought that she would ever have feelings for her junior. Of course, she hadn't promised anything outright other than a date, but she felt herself looking forward to it greatly.
At one point, she had had the biggest crush on Red. Of course, she knew nothing would ever come from that. He was simply not interested in her like that. There were a lot of women that liked him, man who were much prettier or stronger than her, woman who had poise and grace. But Gold was someone who legitimately liked her. He was one of her best and oldest friends. Perhaps if everything went well, then they could even be a real couple.
She smiled at that thought. Someone actually liked her! She had never thought that it could happen.
Chuchu nuzzled against her ankle as she absent-mindedly drew a sketch. When she glanced down, she quickly blushed at the face that was staring up at her. She could picture the boy in the sketch as clear as day, and could almost see his crimson eyes looking back at her. She promptly closed the sketch book and tossed it aside.
Bad Yellow! Bad Yellow! She had a perfectly nice, handsome, young man who genuinely cared for her, and her old crush was the one occupying her thoughts. What kind of awful person was she?
She immediately walked inside her house and grabbed herself a nice, cool glass of water. Perhaps the heat of the day was just getting to her.
There was a knock from the front door.
She sighed to herself. She could do this. She would go on her date and completely get over him.
Another knock and she turned on her heel to go answer it.
She wouldn't even think about him.
"Yellow, are you home?"
Her heart skipped a beat as she heard the familiar voice. No! This was horrible timing! But she had to answer it or he would come in, anyway, thinking something was wrong!
One more knock and she reached for the door handle, pulling it open to see a tall trainer on her doorstep.
"Um, hello… Red."
