It is bright and green in the forest, with sunlight falling in honeyed shafts over the grass. Red closes his eyes as he listens to the Pidgeys chirp in their trees, and he breathes the pure, clean air, and he wonders why people think romance is so important.

The forest is a good place to introspect. There’s nothing dangerous here to attack him, and it’s nice and quiet and peaceful.

Red thinks of Misty, and her bright smile, and Yellow, who he recently found out was a girl, and Erika, who is sophisticated and rich besides, and Blue, who’s spunky and a good battler, and sighs, wishing that he didn’t have any problems with girls. He’s not sure whom to pick, because no matter what he chooses, someone will get hurt…

But as he closes his eyes and listens to the birds chirp, he decides he can put the decision off for a little while longer.
