She smiled and muttered, "I guess I do."

He smiled and held his arms open.

Alexa, after thinking it over, ran into Chuck's arms and hugged him.

He hugged her and kissed her again, falling back onto the bed.

Alexa blushed a little bit and smiled at Chuck.

He smiled back and said "I'm glad I met you."

"I'm glad I met you too." Alexa stated.

He held her and pulled the covers on them

Alexa yawned, "Sorry, I'm really tired..." She closed her eyes, almost ready to fall asleep.

"Me too." he said, yawning. All around the bed, their Pokemon slept on the floor.

James Davy said
"Liam, let's head for the gym," said Shiranui, wanting to leave the lovebirds to their activities.

" Yeah, lets go." Liam agreed.

Luckily for them, the gym was still open. "Who shall go first?" asked Shiranui.

The three gym leaders: Flint, his wife Lola, and their second oldest child, Forrest all stood there in the Leader's box. They asked which of us will go first and who they wished to face. Liam decided to go and challenged Flint. He called on a Geodude.

'Geodude, the Rock Pokemon.Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them '

Liam called on Hydro.
"Hydro, Bubble." Liam commanded.

Geodude was hit critically and KO'd. Flint switched for Onix.

"Onix, The Rock Snake Pokemon.It usually lives underground. It searches for food while boring its way through the ground at 50 miles per hour.
The tunnels it leaves are used as homes by Diglett"

Hydro used Bubble again but missed. Onix used Dragonbreath and paralyzed Hydro. Danny recalled Hydro for Bulbasaur. Onix used Iron Tail.
"Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf!" Liam called. Leaves fired toward the rock snake.

"Rock Throw!" Flint called. Onix flung rocks at Bulbasaur.
"Vine Whip!" Liam called. Bulbasaur began to slap Onix with his vines.
"Bind!" Flint called. His Onix was holding Bulbasaur in a tight grip.
"Sleep Powder!" Liam called. Bulbasur blasted a puff of blue powder in Onix's face, lulling it off to sleep. The Onix was unable to move due to being asleep.
"Razor Leaf!" This move clinched the victory for Liam, earning him the Boulder Badge.

Shiranui decided to challenge Forrest for the badge. The latter called a Geodude out and Shiranui called out Titania. "Geodude, Defence Curl!"
"Titania, Double Team!" The Ralts made copies of herself as Geodude curled up.
"Geodude, Rollout!"
"Titania, Confusion!" Geodude started rolling, but got caught in Titania's psychic grip and was sent off course. When Geodude stopped rolling due to its missed attack, it appeared to be dizzy.
"Geodude, Rollout!"
"Titania, Confusion once more!" Geodude felt a pulse of psychic energy and due to it being confused, it tripped over and fell into a knockout.

---

Forrest switched Geodude for a Rhyhorn. Shiranui pulled out his Pokédex and scanned the Rhyhorn. "Rhyhorn, the Spikes Pokémon. Strong, but not too bright, this Pokémon can shatter even a skyscraper with its charging Tackles."
"Rhyhorn, Stomp!"
"Titania, Double Team!" Rhyhorn was only marginally faster than the preceding Geodude as Titania quickly made more copies. Rhyhorn stomped a foot on one of the Ralts', which vanished.
"Rhyhorn, Fury Attack!"
"Titania, Confusion!" The Ralts sent a pulse of psychic energy at the charging Rhyhorn and the attack struck a weak spot. Three more copies vanished from Rhyhorn's Fury Attack.
"Rhyhorn, Stomp!"
"Titania, finish it off with Confusion!" Titania used her psychic powers to alter Rhyhorn's course and as a result, Rhyhorn crashed into the wall and fell. Shiranui won the Boulder Badge.

"Good job Shiranui." Liam praised. "Should we check out the Museum while we wait on the others to acquire the badge? Liam asked.

"Do you think they'll still be open?" Shiranui inquired as it was dark outside.

Liam looked out. "Yeah, your probably right." Liam was disappointed. "Well, I guess we can look in the morning." He stated.

Shiranui nodded in agreement. "In that case, we better return to the Pokémon Centre," he replied.

Liam agreed and started to make his way to the center.

Shiranui gave Titania to the local Nurse Joy to heal before getting a room.
