Next day early in the morning, Red and Yellow, with all their Pokemon, went to the forest to train at the secluded spot, they had discovered a few years ago during their training on Mt. Silver. The Pokemon had a relaxed training session so that they did not stress themselves before the start of the tournament. Red and Yellow just did a few light exercises and meditated for a while. After a couple of hours, they went back to their room with their Pokemon inside their pokeballs and Pikachu on Red's shoulder. They both took some time to discuss their various strategies for the tournament before taking a long bath together (*winks*). Leaving their Pokemon in the room (Meowth, Lucario, Delphox and Gardevoir were outside their pokeballs), they went for breakfast with their new friends.

They were having breakfast, when someone kept a hand on Yellow's shoulder. She turned around immediately to see a familiar face grinning at her. She hugged the person and said with excitement, "Bonnie! So good to see you after such a long time. I missed you so much."

"I missed you too. And you too Red," she replied as she hugged the champion whom she considered an elder brother.

"Where is Clemont?" Red asked.

"You know how slow big brother is!" Bonnie said.

"Bonnie! I told you not to run off like that." Clemont exclaimed. He then calmed himself and greeted everyone, "Hi Red, Yellow and everyone. Hi Aria." Clemont blushed.

"Hi Clemont and Bonnie." Aria said blushing. This did not go overlooked by the gang. Yellow decided to tease the couple a bit, "So Bonnie, aren't you trying to find a suitable girl for your brother these days?"

"Oh, I have stopped my search these days. I think my brother will be able to handle himself now that he has grown up." Bonnie played along.

"What do you say Clemont? We can find someone for you. How about the girls over that table? Wait! We have Aria here. She is single. What do you think Clemont?" Yellow teased. Clemont was as red as a tomato.

"I…umm…I don't know… I mean she is great… I mean umm…" Clemont stuttered. Aria was blushing so much that she did not even look up.

"Stop it Yellow. Do not make him more nervous than he already is. Clemont I think you would like to sit near Aria. Bonnie you take a seat too. Clemont, Aria care to explain?" Red asked. Aria calmed herself faster than Clemont.

Still blushing she said, "You see it was the dinner night with all the gym leaders, elite fours, and other famous trainers after you became Kalos champion Red. I was still a bit upset about losing my title to Yellow a couple of weeks before. She deserved it no doubt and now knowing who she really is, I am genuinely happy for her. In fact, I think she should have won it earlier. Well coming back to the topic, I was upset. I was just sitting on a chair drinking wine when someone came and sat beside me. I did not pay much attention to the person until he asked if he could have my autograph. I thought I would reject thinking it was some fanboy. However, when I looked up, it was the strongest gym leader of Kalos. I did not know what to reply. However, we slowly talked for some time and exchanged autographs as well as phone numbers. Few day later, I got a call from him asking if I were free for coffee, which I accepted. It was our first date which became a daily routine. After a couple weeks and about ten dates, Mr. Inventor here proposed me to which I said 'Yes'. That is it. We have been together for only like a month." She said looking as red as a rose.

"Well congratulations to you both, you deserve all the happiness in the world," Yellow said. Everyone congratulated the couple. They talked for some time and then the girls decided to go for some shopping before lunch. The opening ceremony was scheduled to start at 5 pm. Thus, they would not find time after that as the tournament started the next day. However, Clemont and Bonnie registered for the tournament before joining the girls on their shopping trip. The guys decided not to go shopping with the girls, as it would be rather cumbersome.
