The town of Greenhills was alive today. Pokémon were everywhere. How could they not be? It was a beautiful day! A Jolteon was casually walking through town, simply enjoying a stroll. He looked around and had to smile. Everywhere he looked Pokémon were laughing and smiling. It made him happy to see them like that.

Greenhills was his hometown and he knew most of these Pokémon. They were good people. They deserved to be happy. He continued his midday walk through the cheery town, whistling quietly to himself.

'Another beautiful day,' he thought. 'Eh?'

His head tilted as he caught sight of her. A Glaceon, spinning in slow circles. She was obviously lost. He chuckled to himself as he approached. 'Suppose I should help.'

He walked right up to her with a big smile. "Hi there."

"Um, hi?" She replied cautiously.

"You lost?"

"No. I'm just looking for someone."

"Maybe I can help. What kind of Pokémon are they?"

"I can find her myself thank you."

Jolteon frowned. "Are you sure? I know most of the Pokémon around here. I could help."

Glaceon sighed and looked at him. "Thank you but no. Besides, this is her first time here. You wouldn't know her."

"I can still help."

"Seriously? Take a hint! I'm not interested."

She huffed and walked away, leaving Jolteon very confused. Slowly it dawned on him. She thought he was hitting on her.

He scoffed and continued his walk. 'Wow. I offer to help, and she thinks I'm flirting? She must be pretty up-herself.'

Lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice the Pokémon walking towards him, and they collided.

"Ow, sorry," he said, rubbing his head.

"That's alright. I wasn't watching where I was going," she replied. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine. What about you?"

"I'm okay."

"Well I'm glad," he said with a small laugh.

Finally, he stopped rubbing his head and looked up. His jaw dropped, standing before him was the most beautiful Pokémon he'd ever seen. She laughed cutely as she raised her head and smiled at him. Her eyes were brown; they were simple, but gorgeous.

He gulped and smiled shakily. "Uh, hi. I'm Dash."

"Well Dash, it's nice to meet you. My name's Emily."

Dash's brain raced too fast; he couldn't think of what to say. In the end he smiled and just blurted out the first thing he thought of.

"I haven't seen you around before. Are you from out of town?"

"Yes actually. I just moved here with my sister."

"Your sister?"

"Yeah. We were supposed to be going to our new house together, but I got lost and we got separated."

"I'm sure it wasn't your fault."

Emily laughed softly. "Oh, it was. I have a terrible sense of direction. I'm always getting lost. I'm actually older than her, but my sister always has to look after me."

Dash's brain had finally slowed down; he was thinking properly again. When he'd tried this earlier it had ended bad, but Emily seemed sweet and kind: The total opposite of that Glaceon.
