"I think I want to pick Red," I said. "I loved Green and got shot down. Maybe I should meet someone new."

"I think that's the best choice here," Gary said. "I mean Green can be a complete ass and I hate seeing you get hurt."

"Besides Red is a really cool guy!" Ash raved. "Red is like the most amazing guy I know. He sweet to pokémon and his friends."

I ended up tuning him out somehow. I was still hurt by Green. Was this really the right thing? Surly it was. Green could now be happy with Blue now. They always did look so good together. Though I didn't agree with the way she treated him.

Then all the sudden I heard Ash say, "Besides you and Red are perfect for each other."

"Hey, don't make her more nervous than she already is," Gary said.

"I-It's fine, Gary. Earlier you said he didn't talk much right?" I asked.

"Yeah. Red's been up on a mountain for awhile now," Gary said. "And he lost contact with people so he doesn't really talk that much with people. He is kind of trying to get to talk to people again. Besides he's really nice."

"Alright. I'll give him a shot but right now I'm kind of tired so I think I'll be heading to bed now," I said.

"Alright. Sleep tight," Ash said.

After that I soon went to bed. I hoped this was the better idea. I just didn't want to get hurt again. This Red guy . . . he seemed nice. They way Gary and Ash made him out to be.

He had so many great qualities. Great to his friends and pokémon. He didn't talk to much. That on it's self could be a positive or a negative. I heard Ash say that he was extremely shy and really honest. He may look good on paper but how did he look in real life? Only time could tell.

The next morning I woke up around ten and then took a shower. I got all ready and finding something to wear was hard. What do you wear to a first date? I finally decided on my favorite dress, it was a nice sundress and it was (favorite color). I curled my hair. People always said I looked cuter with my hair curled.

After I was already I went to the festival. Ash said he'd be by the ice cream stand. Ash also showed me a picture of Red so I'd know what he looked like. I then saw him at the stand.

He had raven hair, like Ash's but darker, almost completely black. His skin was really pale. His dark hair made it look so much paler. But it was his eyes that caught my attention. They were red. I've never seen someone with red eyes. They were so beautiful. He looked comfortable in a way. He was wearing a light summer jacket and some jeans. Not really date wear but it suited him so well.

Red himself looked bored as he was leaned against a wall next to it. He had his Pikachu on his right shoulder. Teenage girls were swooning all over him. He seemed annoyed at them. What would make it different with me?

I went up to him, getting death glares whilst doing so. "Um, are you Red?" I asked. He looked up at me. I couldn't tell what he was feeling right now.

"Yeah," he said softly. He had a soft, deep voice. "Are you (Name)?" He asked.

"Y-Yes," I said nervously. "It's really nice to meet you. Though I have to say I've never been set up on a date before."

"Me either. Ash told me things you might want to go to and stuff. So why not get started?" he asked.

He got off the wall and came over to me. I then followed him. His Pikachu kept an eye on me. I got up to him and asked, "So then you have a Pikachu. He's seems really friendly."
