A/N: the Chapter that will have most of the things mentioned in the poll, rendering the poll absolutely useless…

Hmm, smell that nice refreshing air of a route; it's moments like these where you can just sit back and relax, except I was in a rush because the Fuchsia City Tournament was in a week, and registration began today! I ran as fast as I could avoiding rocks that I might trip on. Finally, the city came into my sights and I slowed down.
I walked into town, the town had a nice faint purple glow to it, yup this is Fuchsia City. I noticed there was a group of people gathered around a stage. Eh whatever, let's see what's going on. I squeezed through the crowd, I wasn't really that hard. I made it just in time for the show, an announcer walked on stage "Are you Ready!" He says wonkily, getting a roar of appreciation from the crowd (almost busting my eardrums) "Cause' it's time for!" a drum roll sounds "The Fuchsia City Tag Team Battle!" He yells, tag team? I don't have a partner, "As usual the partners will be chosen at random!" ok that takes care of that. "Just sign up here and we'll start the pairings in an hour!" I walked over to the registration booth and signed up "Here take this, so your partner will know who you are" said the person sitting at the booth. It was one of those nameplates that said 'Hi my name is_' I filled in the blank and walked off to sign into the pokecenter, and then some training.
Time Skip, one hour
I walked back from Route 19, I was feeling refreshed from the clean ocean air. Again there was a large group around the stage, so I wandered over to the front of it again. The announcer walked up again, "alright, these are the pairings!" he said gesturing to the giant board behind him, a found a couple of interesting things on it: Connor was paired with David, Day and Dani were competing, and I was paired with a girl named Savannah…Savannah, something about that name seemed… important. After a while the group scuttled about trying to find their partners, I too was trying to find mine, although I couldn't concentrate completely I was still trying to figure out why that name seemed so… so familiar. My feet got tired so I just stood there, out of the corner of my eye I saw what I was looking for, I saw her nametag…wait, her? I gave her a good look over (and no not creepily); she was wearing a pink turtleneck, skinny jeans and light brown boots. I walked over to her and lightly tapped her on the shoulder, she turned to face me she looked like she was about to say 'hi, so you're my partner!' but no she stopped dead in her tracks, we stood there in relative silence, the feeling we met before was getting stronger. Then she started crying and hugged me "Zach! It's so good to see you again!" Then it hit me like a ton of bricks, this was my old friend, Savannah.
I guess some explanation is in order, I'll keep it short: I didn't live in Pallet town all my life, I used to live on Three island. I lived there with Savannah and her sister Erin, we had good times. But, my dad got a new job, so we had to move closer to it, and we had to move to Pallet Town. I was sad to leave them, sad to leave the island, sad to leave my old life. But I slowly got over it, because I knew I would go there and see them again.
Back to the story: I decided to hug her back, remembering my surroundings. "It's great to see you again!" I whisper trying not to attract any more attention than necessary. "Um, Savannah can we take this someplace else? We're gaining a lot of attention" I say wiping the tears out of her eyes, only then did she notice her surroundings, she blushed a little and said " you're right, we should get our team together!" she says excitedly, "um, actually I only have…" I was cut off there as one of my pokeballs opened, Flare's. She waltzed over to Savannah and sat down with a smug look on her face, "well I guess she wants to come with me!" I opened two more of my pokeballs, Sparky's and Franky's. "Sparky are you gonna be okay with your sister leaving?" Sparky looked at me for a second before replying. "He says 'she isn't my sister, she's my girlfriend!'" Franky translates. I stare at him for a second before yelling "Why didn't you tell me before!"
"He says 'I tried but you can't understand me without Franky!'" Franky explains. He was right, and I finally figured out why Flare went to Savannah, if our Pokémon liked each other then maybe it would get Savannah and I to… I blushed and looked at her, apparently she put two and two together and…. Ok, that expression would better explain our… relationship. Yeah, relationship… I continued thinking until Sparky nudged my leg, indicating I should come back down to earth. I was about to ask him what he wanted but something stopped me, a white speck floated in front of my face, it was snowing! It instantly brought a smile to my face, you see I've always liked snow, I guess it has something to do with being born so close to winter (October in case you forgot) speaking of months, I remembered why it was snowing, it was December now, I sighed deeply, man, where does the time go? Oh! And it was getting close to Christmas! I looked at Savannah she was smiling widely too, another thing we shared in common. I was going to exclaim 'it's almost Christmas!' but I realized something…nah, I'll tell you what it is later.
"I guess we should get inside, huh?" she said, she wasn't nearly as cold as me because of her sweater. I nodded and we headed toward the pokecenter. I pulled out my pokegear, December 23, 2009. Christmas was closer than I thought, but first, "Hey Savannah!" I yell out from across the room, I read in a book once that girls love it when guys call out their name…wait; I'm trying to get her attention now? Anyways, I walked over to her, she looked slightly embarrassed, she hit my arm, half playful half painfully, "D...Don't do that!"She stuttered. "Sorry, anyways, I realized we didn't exchange numbers!" I explain. "Oh, I guess you're right" she notices. We exchange numbers and head off to our rooms…rooms, plural, meaning not sharing a room.
I went through my night prep (brushing my teeth, shower, etc.) and lied down in bed, I began planning out tomorrow, I definitely needed to get Savannah a present, no doubt about that, hmm what to do after that…,anyways tomorrow should be interesting, I thought as I drifted into sleep.
