Ash Paul and co. entered Saffron City's Gym Sabrina was seen ahead. The group heard a female voice inside their head it spoke thus. 'Hello my is Sabrina and I'm the leader of this gym' Ash and Paul said. "Then we challenge you to a three on three battle" The voice said. "I accept Ash called out Gastly while Paul chose Eevee and Dratini Sabrina sent out all three evolutionary stages of Alakazam. Kadabra used psychic on Eevee sending it to it's knees Ash had Gastly use shadow ball on Kadabra to knock it out Eevee glowed white and evolved into a blue dog like body with a navy blue lower body with orange scales going from it's forehead to just before it's tail it has a orange flame like growth on it's tail it has bunny rabbit like ears with orange horns coming from it's forehead going back towards it's ears it had three navy blue claws on each foot and long ribbon like whiskers growing from beside it's nose "Th-th-th-th-th-this is so new oh my Arceus this is a whole new species what do I do?" Paul said. Then he heard his former Eevee say "Emporeon" Paul nodded "Emporeon use dragon breath." Emporeon used dragon breath knocking Abra out. Dratini and Gastly combined their shadow ball and dragon rush to finish the battle against Alakazam beating Sabrina she gave them the badges her voice was heard in their heads you won so you deserve these badges they nodded the quartet left next stop Fuchsia City.

On the way to Fuchsia Ash pulled Paul aside to talk with him. "Paul I think we should treat the girls to something nice in Fuchsia you know surprise them" Ash said. Paul nodded. "Good idea Ash we'll do it before the Gym battle" Paul said. Ash smiled and they went back over to the girls. "Hey Ashy what were you two talking about?" May asked. Ash smiled at her. "Nothing much." he said. Yellow blinked "You sure?" she asked. "Yeah Yellow nothing you need worry about." Paul reassured her. The two girls weren't fully convinced but accepted their boyfriends answers and continued on to Fuchsia City.

Time Skip Three Hours Later:

The quartet were exhausted and quickly checked into a hotel then collapsing on their beds and falling asleep.

Time Skip Later That Night:

Ash awoke got outside and met Paul to put their plan into action. Meanwhile Yellow awoke to Ash and Paul gone she immediately got May up and looked for them. Yellow then called Paul "Hello?" Paul asked "Paul where are you guys?" Yellow asked "Outside at the lake on the outskirts of town." Paul answered "Okay we're coming." Yellow said they got dressed and went to the place when they got there they were stunned. The moon's rays illuminated the water giving it a glow. The two guys revealed themselves both smiling. "So do you like it?" Ash asked. May and Yellow grinned. "This is so romantic." May said happily. Ash stepped forward wrapping his arms around her waist. "Glad you like it. We sorta planned this knowing tonight was a full moon so the rays would interact the best." Ash explained. "Aww guys that's so sweet." Yellow said wrapping her arms around Paul's neck. Simultaneously the two couples leaned in and kissed. After they separated they headed back to the hotel and fell asleep.

Time Skip The Next Day Fuschia City Gym:

The four entered the poison type gym ready to battle the gym leader Janine. "Hello everyone. Welcome to Fuchsia Gym. I'm the gym leader Janine and not only do I fight in pokemon battles, but I theorize on several different topics." Janine said. "Let's go we challenge you to a Xiali- I mean a battle." Ash said blushing. "Very well you just remember this isn't just any ordinary battle It's a gym battle. Let's begin." She said and with that called forth a Weezing and an Arbok. Ash sent out Gastly while Paul chose Dratini. "Gong Yi-" (SLAP) "Ow what gives?" Ash asked. Paul glared "Wrong franchise pal get with the program." He said. Ash just shrugged. "Gastly use dark pulse." Ash said. "Dratini use Dragon Rush." Paul said. Before Janine could say a counter attack both moves hit and both of her pokemon looked close to fainting. Janine had a idea "Weezing Self Destruct." she said. as a last ditch effort to take these two pokemon out the attack hit and Arbok was also hit causing it to faint. Gastly was unharmed while Dratini barely got up. Janine returned her Arbok and sent out a Venomoth. Ash and Paul smirked. "Dratini Fire Fang." Paul said. Gastly use shadow ball." Ash said the two attacks made there mark knocking the opposing pokemon out. Janine returned it and sent out her last two pokemon Muk and Gloom. "Gastly finish Gloom with dark pulse." Ash said. "Dratini use Dragon Rush on Muk." Paul said. The two attacks hit knocking Gloom out and severely weakening Muk. The duo finished it with Gastly using shadow ball knocking Muk out. Janine returned her pokemon and walked forward. "So my theory about you two was correct take these Badges." She said the duo took the badges. May and Yellow healed their pokemon and left heading back to Vermilion to board a boat to Cinnabar Island.
