He bolted to her and tackling her into a tight hug she returned the embrace Paul smirked "Hey Ash when did you get a girlfriend?" he asked. The duo released and Ash and May blushed Yellow laughed at that then said "They look so cute together." "D-don't we h-h-ave a b-badge t-to w-w-win?" Ash studdered out Paul nodded. May smiled "I'll come with." she said. The quartet then went to the Gym "Welcome ta th' Vermilio' Cita Gym I'm Lt. Surge an' I've been 'ere for a long time." said the gym leader.

Paul pulled out his Pokedex scanning him for new moves then nodded. "Ok Q aim your Rock Throw at Pikachu." Pikachu responded with Thundershock sending it straight into Raichu who fainted. "Well ya bested me an' my war companions so ya deserve this 'ere badge." Paul smirked. "Heck yeah." They took the badges and went back to the house.
