Mew and her friends have been traveling all day on their journey to Olivine City for Mew's next gym battle. Now it's getting late, and they need a place to spend the night.

"Did you figure out where the Pokémon Center is yet, Brock?" Misty asks.

"Yeah. We're getting tired," Tomo says.

"Not yet," Brock says.

As luck would have it, someone comes their way.

Mew walks over and asks, "Excuse us, could you tell us where the Pokémon Center is?"

"Pokemon Center?" A lovely blue haired woman questions.

Brock soon spots the stranger, and gets all lovey dovey again, "Forget the Pokémon Center, I'm Brock. I'm new in town and I'm free for dinner tonight. You look hungry. Pick a place, anyplace at all."

Misty grabs Brock by the ear, "I think she has reservations about dinner."

And the woman says, "I'm sorry, but, unfortunately, there isn't a Pokemon Center here. There's one about ten miles away in the next town."

"Oh no," Molly says, sadly.

"We've been walking all day. Ten miles is way too far," Misty says, disappointed, "Where are we gonna stay tonight?"

"We don't have a choice. Guess we'll have to stay here," Mew says.

In the park, Brock fills up a pot of water, "Well, at least we're in a park with nice, clean, running water."

Suddenly, a Nidorina rushes over to the same fountain for a drink.

"Hey! A Nidorina!" Brock says, amazed.

Suddenly, a frantic girl comes running while following it, "Hey! Come on, Nidorina, we have to go home!"

Brock looks to see a young girl with long teal hair, wearing a red and yellow outfit, and has an orange ribbon.

The girl suddenly trips, but Brock leaps into action as he calls out, "Look out!"

Brock manages to catch her before she falls in the fountain.

"Hey. You almost fell in," Brock says.

"Yeah, thanks a..." The girl says.

The young girl suddenly becomes smitten with Brock as soon as she lays eyes on him.

"It was a lucky thing I was here to catch you, wasn't it? Brock says.

The girl happily says, "Oh, yes. It was the luckiest thing ever! My name's Temacu." and takes Brock's hand, "What's the name of the dashing hero who saved me?"

"Uh, well, Temacu, my name's Brock," Brock says.

"I love that name. And I love the man it belongs to," Tamacu says.

Brock sweat drops, "Uh, that's me."

Mew and the others are baffled by the girl's behavior.

Tamcu continues, "The name Temacu comes from a combination of names of Pokémon that have my personality. The 'Te' comes from cute Teddiursa, the 'ma' comes from super cuddly Mareep, and the 'cu' comes from the lonely little Cubone. That's why I'm Temacu."

"That's very..." Brock says, confused.

"Your name should be something like Exeggbracloy. You wanna know why? I'll be glad to explain it," Tamacu says happily.

"Well..." Brock replies, dumbfounded.

Temacu continues, "You're tough on the outside, like Exeggcute. You're brainy and handsome, like Abra. And you're beautiful on the inside, just like the beautiful pearl that's inside a Cloyster. But you don't have to change your first name, Brock. I'll be glad to change my last name." and stands up on her two feet, "I can see us now. You in a pure white tuxedo, and me in a pale pink wedding gown."
