Gary's Pov (September 27th)

Today was the day of the date! I-I mean hangout!

I stared at myself in the mirror, Ash snickering about something. "You know, you sure are acting like it's a date." He said. I rolled my eyes, "So, how do you feel about Misty's kiss to you?" He choked on water, staring in shock. "How do you..?" I showed him my phone, and he growled. "I should have known Dawn would record us!" I ignored his raging, heading towards the mini fridge.

"Please tell me you'll help me get revenge.." Ash cried. I shook my head. I knew not to mess with Dawn when it came to couple business. He cried dramatically, grabbing my leg and being dragged around. "Please! I'll do anything, just don't leave me in my time of need!" I shook him off, heading out of the room. He is so dramatic, it was just a kiss! I saw Leaf waiting for me when I walked out of the building. "Hey Leaf! Ready?" She nodded, about to send out her Charizard when I stopped her. "Dawn, please stop trying to stalk us." I grumbled, rubbing my head. The bluenette glared, stomping her foot.

"Hey! I can do what I want!" She whined. Dawn had gotten better I guess. She didn't look like a zombie anymore, and she seemed more like herself. "Quick Leaf! Charizard!" Leaf's Pokémon flew out of the pokeball, the both of us quickly climbing on before the huge lizard took off. "I'll get you both later!" Dawn shrieked, becoming a dot as Charizard flew away. "She is crazy.."" I muttered. Leaf nodded, looking back.

We flew towards Vermillion, finally making our way there after a hour or two. We got off of Charizard, Leaf looking around. "I bet you weren't expecting this place!" I smiled proudly.

She shook her head, looking around. "So, I was thinking we could eat at the restaurant by the pier. Then, we can go to Saffron?" I hope she liked that idea. She nodded, heading towards the restaurant. I smirked, following her as the building came into view. The ocean crashed onto land, before retreating back. The sun shined brightly, and I had to shield my eyes. "Leaf, wait up.." I whined.

She waited for me near the door, walking in when I finally caught up. "Reservations?" I nodded, watching Leaf as she looked around. She seemed pretty happy, though it is pretty hard to tell her emotions. "Right this way sir." We followed, sitting at the table. Immediately, Umbreon released himself from the pokeball, laying down on the soft seats. I rolled my eyes as the waiter came. After we ordered, Leaf put her head down, eyes slowly closing. How long has it been since she slept? "Leaf, how long has it been since you last slept?" I asked. She pulled out her pokegear, showing me. Two weeks?! I stared in shock while she lay there.

I poked Leaf's arm, the girl motionless. "Come on Leaf, the food will be arriving soon." I grumbled, trying not to laugh. She lazily pulled herself up as the food arrived, and grabbed her spoon. I was about to eat when I felt eyes on me. I looked up, but it wasn't Leaf. Who could it be then? I should just ignore it. Leaf looked around, probably noticing something. "Do you see who is watching us? I can't tell." She shook her head, going back to eating. I guess I'm just nervous or something.

I looked up, my jaw nearly dropping as I looked at Leaf. She had finished all of her food already?! I thought Ash ate fast. "Leaf, were you really that hungry..?" She didn't answer, though her eyes scanned the trees far from the restaurant. "I'm really starting to think something, or someone, is out there watching."

I looked around, sighing as Leaf leaned towards the window. I could see something move in the bushes far from here, and I rolled my eyes. "Probably just a Pokémon. Let it go.." I mumbled. Leaf looked one last time before sitting back down. She closed her eyes, resting her head. I finished my food, getting up. She watched me leave, lazily getting up and following me.

She seems so tired right now.

"Leaf, if you want we can go home and spend time together tomorrow." I said softly. We started walking towards Saffron, Pokémon running around the place. Trainers waited for battles, while others simply enjoyed the day. I stretched, enjoying the time away from the island. Leaf seemed to be enjoying it as well, though that may be my imagination. Pichu ran straight ahead, cheering happily as we neared the city.

Leaf ran after Pichu, leaving me in the dust. "Well then, I guess she is excited to get to Saffron." I sighed, forcing my legs to move faster. I finally made it into the city, looking around for Leaf, who seemed to have disappeared. "Leaf? Leaf!" I called. I finally found her, seeing her in front of the Game Corner. Oh no.. "Leaf, don't even think about I-" She ran in, and I resisted the urge to slam my head into the wall. "Here she goes, hopefully she isn't like she used to be." I mumbled.

Leaf LOVED to play the games in the Game Corner, the only downside being that she sucked. Badly. So, she'd waste lots of money trying to win. I walked inside, trying not to slam my head against the wall as Leaf put money into the game slots. "Leaf. Don't start, let's go. I knew Saffron was a bad idea!" She ignored me, continuing with her attempt to win. I watched her lose, over and over again. I'll be stuck here forever, won't I? I tried pulling her away, but she stayed in that one spot.

A flash blinded me.

Dawn's Pov

YAY! ANOTHER PICTURE!

See, no one noticed that I followed Gary and Leaf on Togekiss. I have some amazing pictures of them as well, and I must send these to May. She'll love them just as much as I do! A smile formed, and I tried not to laugh at Gary. He was looking around, trying to find out who had taken the pictures. I quickly paid attention, not wanting to get lost. I didn't know a thing about Kanto, so I better pay attention and follow them as best as I can.

"Leaf! You are going to waste all of your money!" Gary snarled in frustration. I squealed, seeing Leaf trying to win the plush toy. Come on Gary! All you gotta do is win it for her! It seemed like Arceus was on my side, as Gary took the controls and easily won the plushie. "There! Now, can we go?!" He cried. Leaf nodded, putting her new shiny Charmander plush in her bag and walking out. "All that for a little plushie.." Gary grumbled, passing right by me.

I followed them, Piplup shaking his head at me. "Piplup, you just don't understand, do you?" He shook his head, mumbling things. "Here! Take this camera, and record them! I can't walk in because they'll notice me!" We were standing in front of some building, where yummy bread and cake smells reached my nose. I sighed, my stomach growling as I watched Leaf grab a brownie. I'm so hungry.. Piplup walked in, hiding underneath a table. No one seemed to notice him, and he started to record.

I headed towards the back of the building, almost falling in the process. I really need to watch where I'm going. "Piplup! PIPLUP!" My Pokémon cried. I quickly picked him up, diving for a bush.

"I swear, no Piplup can be found in the wild. You don't think..?" I heard Gary say. I hid myself in the bush, hoping they wouldn't find me. I sighed in relief as they walked away, heading towards the mall area. Hopefully, I wouldn't be found. I got out of the bush, wiping the grass off and quickly following them. People stared at me as if I were crazy, but I paid them no mind.

Leaf and Gary headed to the fifth floor, where the plushies were sold. Did Leaf have an addiction to plushies or something? I followed, bumping into a few people here and there. I squealed as a blushing Gary came into view. Leaf was hugging him tightly, the boy freaking out. In his hand was a Mew plushie. Was he buying that for Leaf? Awww~

I quickly took pictures, giggling happily. "What the hell are you doing here." I shrieked, looking up to see a murderous Gary glaring at me. Leaf was to busy staring at her plushie, her Pichu trying to take her hat off, "W-well.. I just wanted to shop! Y-yeah.." He snatched the camera out of my hand, a blush forming as he noticed all the pictures. "QUICK BUBBLEBEAM PIPLUP! ESCAPE!" He stumbled back in shock, and I took this as my chance to get the camera and run.

I must keep these pictures, I can't let him delete these!

I dodged the oncoming people, nearly tripping as I exited the store. Success! "I'll take that." I felt myself being lifted into the air, a familiar Pokémon snickering. Charizard, and Gary was on her back, dangling the camera. "N-no! I worked so hard to get those! Please, I beg of you don't destroy it!" I cried, fake tears falling. He didn't fall for it. "Please, I can tell those are fake." He sneered.

He dropped the camera, the thing shattering into a million pieces. I frantically tried to grab them.

"WHY?! ALL I WANTED WAS CUTE PICTURES.." I sobbed. Leaf walked past me, lazily leaning against Charizard. "You shouldn't have stalked us. We wouldn't do that to you." Gary said, shaking his head. I sniffled, glaring at him as he stepped on one of the pieces, breaking it even more. "Well then, I guess we are lucky you won't have those pictures, huh?" Leaf climbed onto Charizard, the Pokémon smiling as she took off. I watched, before realizing something.

"H-hey! I don't know my way back.." I trailed off, seeing them long gone. I wiped away the tears, even though they were fake. "Piplup! All that hard work for nothing.." He shook his head, a smirk directed at me. "Why are you..?" My eyes widened as he pulled something out of my bag. The camera! But how?! Wait, how could I forget I have a fake camera for these type of situations?

I grabbed him, hugging him tightly. "Oh thank you Piplup! You were so smart to switch them while we were running!" I checked to make sure the pictures were still there, squealing in delight when I saw them. "Now we'll see their reaction when they find out I still have the pictures!" I laughed. Togekiss came out of her pokeball, waiting for me. I climbed on, and she started to head back to Cinnabar.

"Do you even know the way to Cinnabar, Togekiss?" She shook her head. I groaned.

Great, I'm lost!

I know its short, but I wanted to get the chapter out to you, please forgive me *Cowers*

-Pichu!
