"Well i was born in Pallet town but when i turned ten i move to Granate Hights on the other side of the mountains. and i am here so i can find pokemon and get into the pokemon leadge, and no i never met her" said Frank slowly so he would not have to repeat.

"Pallet?" Amanda said sitting down to face him. "Isn't that were that Ash kid is from?" She paused for a moment, not sure what to say next. " I used to live on Ember Island, but when I turn 13, I moved to Cinnibar Island. There I met Blaine, he taught me everything I know about Pokémon. He was like a father to me." she paused again, hoping he didn't notice her detachment. "Uh, from there I just started training, and challenging gyms. Now that I have five badges, I was thinking about moving on to the next town. But there is something about this place, the lake, the patch, that made me want to stay. I have an apartment in town now and I basicly work at the pokémon center. So, anything else you want to share? Or do you have questions for me? It seems like you've never talked to someone like me before." Amanda bite her lips again.

Frank said "yeah that is where he is from and he is the joke of the town, and i really don't talk to people unless we are traveling together" he then smiled

"Oh, Come on!" Amanda said jumping to her feet. "I just told you my life story and you won't tell me anything?! What? Are you waiting to hear more? I am an Orphan." She yelled turning away from him and walking towards Viren. "I bet you wanted to know that! And I bet you would like to let me travel with you!" She started to walk back towards him, "I bet you are just as lonely as I am, and all you want is a friend. A real human friend." She said quietly, "Someone that will respond when you talk to them and comfort you when you cry... dear God," Amanda was starting to cry. She violently wipe the tears from her face, then she wrapped her arms around her shaking body. " Someone that just, understands..."

Frank walked over to her and hugged her "I am sorry i just not one to tell my whole life story to a new person with out them asking i answered your questions and i would like a human traveling comapion the pokemon can only give you so much, No offence Zan" but his pokemon was eating berries and did not here him So frank just held the crying Amanda

A friend, she really had a friend. With Frank arms wrapped around her Amanda finally felt loved. She moved her hands to his shoulders and pushed him back a bit. Then she looked at him, really looked at him. "So this is what love is like..." And she kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you." She whispered in his ear. Then she tore herself from his hold, swooped down to grab her things and jumped on Viren. "I'm sorry." She mouthed as Viren surfed rapidly away.

"Zan, Lapras, Return, Salamence" he called as one was returned and the other cam out he climbed on back and said "Fly and follow that girl"

Amanda knew he would follow her. "Why did I have to say that!" she said to no one. She looked to the shore, there a familiar form was standing. She jumped on the beach right when she heard Salamance roar overhead. She rushed into the arms of the waiting Gym leader Richtor, and whispered into his ear harshly "There is a strong trainer following me. Battle him please." Rich looked at her concerned, "Why are you crying, Love?" Amanda pointed to the sky.

Frank jumped to the ground and saw another man standing there "Let me guess you are the gym leader and this was a whole set up to get me to battle you"

"No!" Amanda cried. "I would never trick you!" She reached for the shocked, beautiful boy, but stopped. "I don't do that to people." She whispered and pulled her arm back. She knew that he didn't believe her; she knew that he would never believe her again. Amanda felt the weight of Richtor's hand on her shoulder. "Sweetheart, did this boy hurt you?" Richtor asked in his deep voice. Amanda, who was looking at Frank, could only shake her head. Frank? Hurt someone? You'd have to be an idiot to believe that. "I told him," Amanda said, her voice barely more than a whisper. “About my past." Richtor took Amanda in his strong arms, pulling her to his chest, and asked again, "Did this boy hurt you?" Amanda said "No," in a voice only Rich could hear. "But I think I hurt him. I think I hurt him real bad, and I don't know what to do about it." Rich laughed a bit, and hugged Amanda tightly. "You silly girl." He sighed. "You really don't know the affect you have on men."
And it was true, she didn't. Everyone had easily fallen under her charm, even Rich himself. He wanted so much for this girl in his arms to fall in love with him. But seeing the look in her eyes when she looked at the boy in front of them, he knew he had lost his chance. She was in love with that boy, and she didn't even know it herself. He picked up Amanda and carried her away, she didn't make a sound. He set her on the ground near the base of a tree. "Viren, Return." she said holding 2 pokéballs, then "Terro, I need you." Rich looked at the girl lying next to the massive dog, and felt sorry for her. The least I can do is grant her request. He thought as he walked towards the boy.
"Hey Kid!" He called, his anger rising. "Do you think this is funny? Do you like breaking people's spirits? Look at her," he said to the boy who was looking at him with hatred. "Look at her Damn it! Do you see what you have done? This girl, this wonderful, charming girl, told you something - something that she doesn't tell anyone she doesn't trust wholeheartedly. You got that? She trusted you! I don't see how. You look like just another punk kid that only wants to beat the League. Do you even care about her? I really don't think you do, or else you wouldn't have called this a set up. Mandy's not like that! She's a great girl; honest, and caring, and polite and beautiful. Sure, she gets angry sometimes, but God if that doesn't make her cuter."
Rich started laughing unable to control himself. He looked at his darling Mandy, who was now standing and walking towards him. "Rich?" she said. "I-I didn't know that you felt that way. I-I, uh." She gasped, and started to breath harder. Amanda’s vision blurred, but she managed to look down to her legs; they were covered in deep red slime and shaking. "Huh? - gasp - Cher - gasp - ries?" She said, she looked over to where Frank and Rich were standing, and spoke again, "I never - gasp - told you - gasp - did I - gasp - Fra - gasp, gasp - nk? - gasp - I'm - gasp, gasp - allergi - gasp -" then she fell to the ground.

"Could you stop yelling at me and help me with her Sit her God damn it" he said grabbing an Epi-pen in his bag and sticking it in Amanda's leg he held her as she recoverd he look at the man, "And all i told her was i would answer her questions i was noo going to tell her my life story just off a whim, i have issues trusting people because people i think i can trust are just pawns in bigger sceams, i am sorry i hurt her but she hurt me as well and i didn't mean to hurt her" Frank said keeping Amanda in a sitting postion

Amanda moaned as the drugs entered her system allowing her to breath. "Frank..." she moaned and rolled her head. She opened her eyes weakly to look for him. To her surprise he was holding her. "Heh." She laughed "You really like holding me don't you?" She looked for Rich and saw him next to her on his knees. "You okay sweatheart?" he said. "You gave me quite a scare." Rich smiled. Amanda smiled back at him. "You found my epi-pen? hmmm...." she moaned. "You saved me. I am deathly allergic to cherries, Rich, you knew that. Thank you." Rich rubbed the back of his head. "Actually love, it was your boy here. He's the one that saved you." Amanda was dumbstruck. Is there more to this boy than I thought. "Frank," she asked looking intently into his eyes. "Is it true? Did you, save me?"

"Yeah because dumb ass was too busy yelling at me to care about you" said Frank glaring at Rich "Nobody dies on my watch well maybe me if it's for somebody else. Salamence come on back" he called holding out the pokeball

"Why? I yelled at you. I almost made a gym leader battle you. I took to to a secluded place, lead you on. Why would you want to save someone like me?" Amanda stood shakily, and walked toward Rich. "Terro, return." Terro did so and Amanda said to Rich. "You didn't have to yell at him. I already have. More than enough." Rich hugged her. "He hurt you Mandy. I don't forgive people who hurt those I love. And I love you. I have for, well, it doesn't matter now." He smiled at Frank "You look pretty beat up." he said to Amanda "I think I should take you home." Rich reached down to grab her stuff. "Okay." Amanda said. She put her left arm around his shoulder and started to hobble down the path. She turned to face Frank. "It was nice meeting you, Frank." She said with a smile "I hope we'll see each other again."

" i saved you because nobody deserse to die" said Frank "and i would like to make sure she gets home safe also" said Frank grabbing his bag from teh edge of teh woods

Rich looked at Amanda. " It's your call, Hun." Amanda thought for a moment. Then seeing how eager Frank seemed at wanting to help her. "Well, it's a long walk. But, you can come if you want." Rich helped Amanda hobble down the path towards town. God, she is so oblivious. "Hey Kid." he said talking back to Frank. "I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. I don't normally let Mandy come down here alone. You see, the place is surrounded by cherry trees. And this little one is, as you saw, very allergic. I was just really worried when April, the center attendent said that she hadn't seem Mandy yet. So I came running done here. If I may, I would like to know your name." The trees started giving way to the edge of town.

"Frank is the name, I can see why so are you two a thing or what, and before you ask, I have never had a girlfriend before and no i am not gay" he said folloing behind counting his pokeballs

Rich let out a laugh. " Frank then, I didn't mean to leave the impression. I'm not hitting on you." Amanda started to feel very tired suddenly. "Up?" She asked Rich reaching her arms up. Rich understood, and bent down so she could climb onto his back. She fell asleep almost instantly. "As to the question if we are together... No. I'm not that lucky. She uh, is already in love with someone and I don't stand a chance against him." Rich noticed that Frank was holding Pokéballs. "So, he said. Did you come to this town to challenge me?"

"I guess but i was just resting for a bit letting my pokemon play and have some fun when i met Amanda, So who is she into, just wondering what her type is," said Frank watchign the whole up thing that happened and sighing

"Oh," Rich said. "Sorry, I had to ask." Oh,man. This kid has fallen hard for her. I can't blame him. "I don't know what this guy is like. She's never had the chance to tell me." Rich chuckled and walked to a nearby house where a few bikes were leaning. "This is my house. Mandy likes to go to the lake. I met her the same way you did. Well, with a few differences. She's stayed with me a few times. Hey, don't look at me like that. I slept in a different room. But, I think she would rather go home. It's been a long day. Her apartment is just about 1 mile and 1/2 away from here. "Mandy, he said over his back. "Time to wake up now." Amanda woke up - she hadn't really been sleeping and had heard everything that had been said between the two men. She blushed, knowing what Rich had been implying. "Okay. I think I can ride a bike now." She slide down and let her toes touch the ground, and almost lost her balance. Rich caught her and steadied her. "You sure?" Amanda wriggled her nose " Yeah, I can do it." She smiled devilishly "Race you." She ran to the waiting bikes and grabbed the purple one - hers. And sped off into the distance. Rich sighed and grabbed his own blue bike. "You coming, Frank?"

yeah hold on a sec "he called out his Salamence and climed on "go ahead i will follow i rather fly anyway" Frank remebered the time his best friend almost died when they were riding bikes he swore to never ride on one again after that day.
His friend and him were riding a normal bike rout in the mountains when his friend and fell down the cliff, Frank helped him back to town but his friend was never able to walk again.
He followed the two on the bikes from the air.

Amanda loved the feel of wind in her hair. She laughed as she peddled faster. Rich was catching up with her and she laughed again. Then she heard Salamace roar overhead. She hit the breaks, jumped off her bike, and yelled at the top of her lungs toward the sky "You JERK! Cheater!!" She laughed again and smiled. "How dare you!" She tried to say, but she was laughing to hard. Rich stopped his bike next to her. He noted her laughing and asked, "Why did you stop?" Amanda smiled, and laughed again. "It's an inside joke. I'll tell you later." Amanda was holding her sides, laughing her head off.
"Geez, " Rich said "Calm down before you have another fit!" But he had started laughing as well. Amanda let out a sigh, and took a deep breath. She turn toward Rich and said " Why did you tell him what you did?" Rich looked at her with a smirk. "I knew you weren't asleep, you little cat. I said what I did because it's true. I love you Mandy, but I can't make you love me. I don't care if you don't want to say it. I'll say it for you. You love him. You've never loved anyone more than you love that boy. And you know what? He likes you just the same. I know he didn't say it, but guys tend to know how other guys feel. You're lucky, you almost lost him. Why don't you think before you act? Impulsive! I should have said that you are impulsive." Rich laughed. "Well come on, we can't let him wander around town wondering where we are. He already knows I like." They picked up their bikes and started peddling, once again, towards town.

Frank did a circle so he would not lose his way when he got to town and started following them when they got to a building and stopped he landed his pokemon got off and returned it "is everything okay why did you guys stop?" he asked walking forward

They had beaten him to the apartment. Amanda was beaming. She could almost feel her face glow. He likes me? She was about to ask Rich again, as she was reaching for her key, but she saw that Frank was walking towards them. "Is everything okay? Why did you guys stop?" he asked. Amanda tilted her head to look at Rich, she had to make sure. She didn't know if Frank knew French; she hoped he didn't (( please don't let him!!)) and asked Rich " Tourjours c'est vrai? Il m'aime?" Rich smiled at Amanda adn thought. That tricky girl. French, I bet Frank doesn't know a word of French. He sighed and looked at Frank, who seemed confused, then back at Amanda. "Oui, Je pense que il t'aime. Mais J'espere pas." He laughed. Amanda elbowed him, "Tu es Bête!" and shoved her key into its lock.
Turning the key and the knob at the same time, she opened the door, then walked into her large apartment. She spun around to grab her things from Rich. The she swore as she remembered that Frank was there. Rich laughed and told Frank that he was the reason they had stopped. "It appears that there is an inside joke between the two of you." Rich looked at Amanda for help. After all, he didn't know what the joke was. "Umm..." She said, biting her lip and running her fingers though her hair. "Oh, Right. You-you asked a question? Sorry, I'm really tired and can't think straight." Rich laughed. "It's okay, hun." Why can't I stop doing that? Rich wondered, Maybe I like her more than I originally thought. "She called you a jerk, and a cheater. If that means anything to you?" He asked Frank.
Amanda was lost in her own thoughts. Today was something special. I went down to the lake without Rich for the first time in a while. The chain has been broken! woohoo! She laughed to herself and looked up at Frank. I met this beautiful, friendly, smart, caring boy. "Frank." she said, but not loud enough to be heard. She smiled as his name fell off her lips. What's more is that we are a regular Romeo and Juliet. As much as I hate to admit that, it's true. I hope we don't end up dying in a tomb. She shuddered then laughed at the thought.
Still looking at Frank, who seemed to be talking to Rich, she asked. "Would you like to come in and maybe stay for dinner?" Rich jumped a bit and looked at her. Dinner? Already? But she only met him today! But there was nothing Rich could do. Something had happened between them, and he was no longer in Amanda's heart. "You better take her up on her offer. She is a world class cook. The chef at the restaurant in town asked her if she wanted a job, but she turned him down.” Rich said, remembering that day with a laugh. Amanda laughed too, and said “Chef Pierre is from France. It was a Godsend when he showed up here." It was a Godsend that Mandy came here. Rich thought, and sighed.

"Yeah sure i would love to stay," said Frank looking at Amanda, "and what inside joke?? and why do i feel like in am in a story book?" he said with a smile
