Misty went through the door, and when the door closed, Ash followed. Lorelei could hear him whispering “Tonight, I’ll tell her.” And she smiled.

 

            “This is a two on two battle, OK?”

 

            “OK,” she answered meekly.

 

            “Misty are you alright?” Ash said and rushed to her side. Wanting to comfort her about whatever was troubling her, but not wanting to reveal too much. Bruno could see the conflict of emotions in Ash’s eyes, but decided not to pry until after the match. [I can see they both love each other, but are afraid to tell the other. The girl is more composed though, Lorelei must have had a talk.] Bruno smiled.

 

            “Are your ready?”

 

            “Yeah!” Misty said with determination.

 

            “Onix, Go!!!”

 

            “Wow, it’s huge! Go… Starmie!”

 

            “Onix, Bind!”

 

            “Starmie, hydro pump it’s eyes, then spinning tackle!”

 

            Onix was knocked out, and Bruno called out Machamp.

 

            “Seismic toss, Now!!”

 

            “Agility, Starmie!”

 

            But it was too late. Starmie was knocked out, and so Misty called out Marill.

 

            “Marill, Bubblebeam!”

 

            “Machamp, Fissure!”

 

            Marill, Bubblebeam caught Machamp, as it jumped, and instantly sent a water gun at it. Machamp fell to the ground, unconscious. Then, Misty talked to Bruno.

 

            “All I can tell you is that the next trainer is Agatha.”

 

            Misty went out, And Ash was about to go too, but Bruno stopped him.

 

            “Wait kid, you can’t go on like this.”

 

            “What do you mean… Oh, is it that obvious?”

 

            “Yes.”

 

            “Then… then she must have noticed by now, she must travel with me out of sympathy.”

 

            “You don’t know that.”

 

            “Yeah, I was planning on telling her… you know.”

 

            “When.”

 

            “When she wins.”

 

            “Then I wish you the best of luck in her match.”

 

            “Thanks, I better go.”
