How have you been?" "Last time?" Belle, the blonde gi-clad girl, asks Travis, her arms still crossed, "You mean right before I went out to battle Trent?" Travis replies, "No, I mean months ago. Remember when I stayed over at your house?" Belle's hazel eyes wander as she examines the purple-haired guy she considers handsome, "...are you sayin' you're my high school sweetheart or somethin'? I... I really don't remember much about my past, but I figure I must've gone to high school. Most of my Pokemon haven't even evolved yet, so I doubt I've been Trainin' since I was ten." Travis shakes his head, "Hmm, actually, I don't think you went to high school. My guess is you were home-schooled on your uncle's farm. We met in the Ilex Forest, though if you don't remember when I stayed over at your house, I doubt you'll remember what happened in the forest." "The past isn't important." Belle steps forward and hugs Travis, then she whispers in his ear, "It's our future that's important." "Our...?" Travis sweatdrops since he doesn't want to take advantage of Belle's current confused state. He makes a cutting gesture with one hand towards Becky, a black-haired gi-clad girl who's standing nearby, and she clearly understands his signal. Becky tugs on Travis' arm, pulling him away from Belle as she says, "I'm sorry to break up the little reunion you're having here, but I really have to talk with my friend Travis in private about my upcoming match." Before Belle can protest, Becky leads Travis over towards her room in the Pokemon Center. Belle narrows her eyes as she watches Becky take Travis into her room and mutters, "That girl's got some nerve." "What girl?" Timmy, the oldest student Training at Chuck's Gym, asks Belle, having overheard her remark on the way to the Cafeteria. Belle turns to face Timmy, who's now standing next to her. "Never mind." "Whatever." Timmy shrugs, "Hey, seeing as how you LOST so MISERABLY in the SECOND ROUND, you won't be needing my Lanturn anymore." He produces a pink Love Ball from one of his gi's pockets, "So let's trade back. I'm sick of all the guys teasing me for carrying such a girly Pokeball." "It wasn't MY fault I lost in Round Two." Belle pokes Timmy's chest with one of her fingers, "YOU clearly didn't train YOUR Lanturn enough - he got beat up by a WOOPER!" Timmy swats Belle's finger away and argues, "My Lanturn downed a Feraligatr! It was entirely YOUR fault you lost the match. If *I* had been out there, I would've told Lanturn to use Confuse Ray on the Wooper. All you could come up with was 'watch out'!" Belle fumes in response to Timmy's attitude, "The only reason Feraligatr didn't have your poorly raised Lanturn for breakfast was because my Slowpoke used Disable on him!" Belle produces a dark blue Great Ball from within her gi, "In fact, I can't stand havin' your weak Pokemon on my team any longer! I'd rather have my little Sunkern back since I'm sure she's ten times better trained than your Lanturn!" "Oh yeah?! Timmy runs over to the only Trading Machine in the Pokemon Center's lobby, the same one Misty and Rudy used moments ago, and drops the Love Ball he's holding onto the right slot, "Let's have a battle right after we trade our Pokemon back! My Lanturn versus your Sunkern!" "Fine by me! Apparently you like bein' humiliated..." Belle comments as she heads over to the left side of the Trading Machine. She drops the Great Ball in the left slot, "My Sunkern will beat your Lanturn just like my Slowpoke beat your Machamp!" She slams her open hand onto the red button on the machine, initiating the trading process. The two Pokeballs are sucked into the machine, the silhouettes of a Sunkern and a Lanturn zip past each other on the machine's monitor, then the Pokeballs are spit out at the opposite ends of the machine from where they were sucked in. Belle grabs her pink Love Ball, Timmy grabs his dark blue Great Ball, and both Trainers start running towards the Center's exit... ...when suddenly, they hear their Master's loud voice coming from inside the Cafeteria. Both Belle and Timmy stop in their tracks when they hear Chuck yelling, "BELLE! TIMMY! Come in here! It's time for dinner then we're all goin' straight to our beds! I've gotta wake up early tomorrow to face a Trainer on the beach and I'd like both of ya to be there!" Timmy, knowing that he won't get up early tomorrow and figuring that Belle won't either, asks, "Tomorrow afternoon after the Semi-Finals?" "You're on." Belle punches Timmy's shoulder then races towards the Pokemon Center's Cafeteria, Timmy right behind her. -Belle
