One Love, One Heart

Epilogue: Intro

"This isn't a date. Daisy says she hasn't seen you in a while, so she'd like to catch up on the way to the movies. Now come on, Daisy and Misty are waiting," Gary tried to encourage Tracey.

Tracey gulped. The lab assistant shook like a leaf, "Why do I feel like I might regret this." Gary rolled his eyes and motioned him to follow him into the Cerulean Gym, which stood majestically under the full moon.

Tracey wiped off some sweat that formed on his forehead and let out a deep breath, "Ok, here we go."

Daisy was at the counter, smiling gleefully, when she saw the boys enter. "Oh my gosh, you're here! This is perfect!"

"Hi Daisy, nice to see you too. Where's Misty?" Gary politely greeted then asked about Misty's whereabouts.

"She'll be right down," the blonde-haired girl answered him. Daisy turned her attention to Tracey, who was smiling nervously. "Hi Tracey, it's been a while," Daisy fixed her eyes on him.

"Hi, pretty- I mean, Daisy!" Tracey yelped.

Daisy giggled. "You're funny," the girl stroked her hair to the side.

"Thank you," Tracey timidly laughed. He barely managed to form sentences.

This should be fun, Daisy thought as she kept her eyes on Tracey. She wasn't into nervous boys, but she needed a good man. Tracey looked like the right candidate.

Gary sighed and chuckled under his breath. "Gary!" A voice called out his name. He turned around and saw that it was Misty, who ran up to him and hugged him. The gym leader wore her usual yellow outfit and was in high spirits.

The young Oak stared into Misty's cerulean eyes. "I hope this movie is good," Gary crossed his arms as he admired her.

The gym leader winked at him, "Me too."

Gary turned to Daisy and Tracey. He found Daisy holding Tracey by the arm, which made him sweat more. "Ready?" the brunette asked his friends.

"Like so ready!" Daisy cheered.

Misty sighed when she saw how invasive Daisy was of Tracey's personal space.

"Sorry, I'm about to pull an Ash. Race everyone there. Smell ya later!" Gary obnoxiously said as he ran off to the exit. He laughed at his friends on the way out. When Gary stepped outside, he noticed someone in a black coat observing him from a rooftop. However, he got distracted when Misty shouted at him. When he looked back, the stranger was gone. Weird, he thought.

Misty glared at him, "Wait till I get my hands on you!" In truth, she enjoyed Gary's playful side and ran after him.

"Hey, don't forget about us!" Daisy pulled on Tracey as she chased after them.

Tracey nervously followed her. "Gary, wait!" he pleaded.

Paul stared at the screen with the Pokémon Center's map of Hoenn. Unfortunately, he and Dawn had gotten lost again on their way to Verdanturf Town. "Great," Paul sighed. He swore they were on the correct route but weren't getting where they needed to be.

"Paul!" Dawn suddenly shouted his name.

The serious trainer turned to the blue-haired girl. "What, Dawn?"

"Do you always have to be so grumpy? Sheesh," Dawn rolled her eyes.

"I was trying to see how we can get to Verdanturf Town. You interrupted my thinking," Paul groaned.

Dawn crossed her arms. "For your information, someone was kind enough to give us directions. They said they'd be willing to take us too!"

Paul raised an eyebrow, "Seriously?"
