The next morning, Red went outside for a nice little walk. He found some new pokemon, & added it to the national dex. He was greeted by several people, all of whom made him feel better about himself. He even met a nice girl, who was just his type. When he got home that evening, he was, of course, greeted by his pokemon. "Nice to see you guys, too", he replied at their kindness. He then fed each of his pokemon appropriately. He went back to his bedroom, and lay on his bed. "Now, what was I gonna do when I got back again?", he asked himself. He turned to his side, looking directly at the chest. "Oh, right!", he remembered. He unlocked the chest, took out the journal, but before he opened it up, He saw the most adorable thing he couldn't believe he missed when he walked in. His now Raichu was sleeping in a smaller bed right next to his. He realized that meant he would have to read nonaloud. He finally opened the book up. The text he saw on the first page was, "For my dear Miki", but it was crossed out. He still had the one burning question in his mind: "Who is, or was, Miki?". He turned to the first page.


FEBRUARY 24th, 1994

Using my only Pokeball, I caught my first Pokemon, Professor Oak told me it was a Charamander. I didn't think "Charamander" was a good name for such an adorable Pokemon, so I named it "Miki" Instead. It fit because conveniently, It is a female. I told My brother Mike about it, and he said he was proud of me, but at the same time jealous. I then told my girl Daisy about it, and she replied in the semi-same manner. She gave me a kiss for congratulations. I'm telling you, she is fine, even when a bit jealous. I checked on Ms. Rose too, and she said that Red's turning 15 in 2 years, as well as Blue. With that said, I'm done writing for the night.


Red's eyes widened at the part mentioning him. This Steven knew about him? But how? How could Red not remember HIM? He kept reading.


FEBRUARY 27th, 1994

When I went to Oak's lab today, he gave me his newest invention that he called the POKEDEX. He said it could be used to document Pokemon That I've caught. He also gave me 20 Pokeballs to start. He then told me that if I level up the Pokemon I catch enough, I could challenge the Pokemon League. I thanked him and left. When I went to visit Ms. Rose and told her the good news, She wished me luck. I went upstairs to check on little Red. He was playing on his SNES, saying to himself, "I'm gonna be great, too!". I can still tell he will. I also told my girlfriend the same news. "Good luck, sweetie", she replied to me. I then headed off. I made it to Pewter City now. So far I've caught an Abra, a Pidgey, a Meowth, & a Pikachu. I'm doing Great! Ok, that's enough writing for now.


Red's realization came to mind at last when he saw the other mention of him. Of course he didn't remember him because he never MET him! He then kept reading ahead.


FEBRUARY 29th, 1994

Wow. Haven't wrote anything for 2 days. During this time I beat Gym Leaders Brock, Misty and Lt. Surge. My brother Mike, though, was already 1 step ahead. We shake hands everytime we meet. He told me about his progress as well. Almost all of HIS pokedex is complete. I told him that mine is nearly finished, too. I also told him how almost all of them have evolved. He said the same about his. We shook hands and parted for now. After that, I beat leaders Erika, Koga, and Sabrina. Huh. 6/8 Badges. So far so well. My Miki also evolved into a Charizard over this time. Lv. 25. Wow. Ok, I'm gonna shut up for now. I'm tired.


Red decided he should "shut up" his reading for now as well. He closed the book, put it in the chest, and was about to rest for the night, but his Pokephone (which was given by Professor Oak) rang. "Hello?", Red answered. On the phone, it was the girl he met that same day. "Hey, handso- I mean, Red", the girl replied, obviously nervous. "Oh, Hi", Red replied, also nervous.

"Aren't you the girl I bumped into earlier?"

"Yep, that's me! My name's Yellow, by the way."

"Cool! Nice name, sweethe- I mean, Yellow."

"Yeah, um- wait, were you about to say something?"

"...No"

"Ok...um, I'm actually a bit of a fan of your work. You see, I was actually the same age as you when I decided to head out. Not from Pallet, though."

"Wow, really?"

"Yep."

"So, you challenged the league, too?"

"Yep, a little too late, though, because when I got to the gate, you already were announced the champion. I wasn't sad though."

"Are you sure?"

"Yep, instead, I announced myself your first fan!"

"..eh..heh.."

"But you know what?"

"Um...what?"

"I want to be more than that now. How about we meet at the nearest park tommorow?"

"...Ok...That'll be...great..."

"Ok, see you there, sweetie"

"Ok-what?"

"NOTHING!"

Yellow then hung up. "Ok...", Red thought. He then went to sleep, ready for the next day.
