A collection of romantic adventures of Hop and Gloria ranging from before they started their journey until many years in the future.

r i v a l (noun); a person who is competing for the same object or goal as another, or who tries to equal or outdo another; competitor. Gloria and Hop have always been neighbors and even best friends. Now, they were rivals. Of course, they would travel together as best friends. They would be fighting alongside one another, camping out together with their pokemon, exploring the wild area and what it has to offer, entering the gym challenge, and so much more. But - is that the way they are going to stay throughout their journey? Will they become something more? Or will they remain best friends, or worse - become just friends? ART DOES NOT BELONG TO ME!
