...Gary stared out from the ship, watching the ocean break apart as the ship ripped through it. He paid no mind to the passengers lounging in beach chairs underneath beach umbrellas or looking over the sides of the ship. Gary had plenty on his mind already. From his family and friends he left behind in Kanto, to his journeys through Kanto and Unova, to June.

June was in tears as she stared out from the ship on its way to Vermillion Harbor. Her hands gripped the strap of her huge bag that hung from her shoulder. She thought sadly of Gary as she watched her own tears fall from her cheeks. The tears disappeared long before she actually witnessed them hit the ocean, if they ever did at all. June ignored the people on the ship around her talking happily about arriving in Vermillion City, lost in her own sorrows. Even though she was finally heading back home, she questioned if she had made the right decision. What is it about this that bothers me so much? she wondered. Is it because I'm scared of seeing that man again after all this time? She thought of the intimidating though attractive figure of Lt. Surge, his army jacket open, revealing his cut chest and abs. June was hot enough in the sun as it was, and an added wave of heat hit her thinking of Lt. Surge, her face starting to flush red as a smirk crept across her face. Or is it... something else...? She wiped at her eyes as they filled with more tears, her smile vanishing. "Aaaaaaaahhh!!" she screamed as she felt a pair of powerful electric jolts go through her body. She collapsed helplessly, breathing hard, and turned around angrily. "Rotom! Electivire!" she shouted.

Rotom hovered above her, Electivire standing next to it. Both Pokemon were smiling down at her.

June knew they were only trying to cheer her up. She knew that they knew she was upset about things. She smiled at her Pokemon. "Thanks, guys."

The restaurant in Striaton City was as busy as it usually was these days, the three brothers, Chili, Cilan, and Cress, running about with refined elegance to not only take orders and make food, but serve it as well.

They had never been as busy in all their lives since the day they hung the huge picture of Gary in their restaurant. Below the framed photo was a platinum plaque with the words: Having Served Gary: Unova's Hero From Kanto's Pallet Town! Proud to have defeated him in a peculiar tasting battle, and even prouder to have later been served a unique dish of defeat, presenting him with his first Badge in Unova.

Bianca bounced in place in front of a Machamp that flexed uncomfortably in front of her. "Oh, look at those muscles!" she gushed, and she stopped bouncing and adjusted her half rimmed glasses. Her hands then grabbed at her green fleece hat on her head. She reached out and squeezed Machamp's multiple arms in turn, aroused by the muscles on the Pokemon. "Oh, goodness me! I just love muscles, honey!"

Virgil sighed, staring at his wife. "I know, honey. I know." He knew where this was leading, and it honestly disturbed him a bit, as well as made him very jealous. He knew his own frame was a lot more modest than a Machamp's, but he didn't have time to work out and maximize the size of his muscles. Aren't I good enough, considering all the work I do? he thought bitterly. Does she really need Machamp sized pecs in her life?

Bianca returned Machamp to its Poke Ball and placed it on the counter in the room they were in. She then gave Virgil that familiar, sultry look he'd come to know. "Oh, Virgiiiiilll..."

"Bianca, honestly, when you do this when we're at home, it's one thing. But, why in Prof. Juniper's lab?" Virgil took a step back. "I really don't-"
