Chapter 27: Preliminaries (3)


Ding, ding, ding-ding, ding!

"Your Pokémon are all healed up! We look forward to serving you again," Nurse Joy stated with a bow.

"Thank you, Nurse Joy," Blue thanked.

As Blue turned to leave, someone bumped into her.

"Aww! I'm sorry!"

"Oof! Oh, it's OK."

The bumper was an auburn-haired teenager wearing a dark blue uniform with a black miniskirt.

"Agh! My match!" the girl exclaimed in a panic and left in a hurry.

Blue was left all alone, pondering something about the girl she met.

'Hmm? That uniform… That's an Ace Trainer from the Unova Region.'

Blue recalled seeing that uniform as her mother was once a Unovan Ace Trainer. Concluding her thoughts, she left to find Misty.

"Can you help submit the one I gave you?" Misty asked, conversing with a woman shown on the PC.

"The one to remodel the Gym? Yeah, I can do that," the woman confirmed.

The woman was one of Misty's older siblings, Daisy Waterflower.

Blue came up from behind the redhead.

"Misty, I'm done. We can go watch Red now."

"Oh, alright. Let's go."

Hearing this, Daisy's eyes sparkled.

"Red? Isn't that the boy you keep talking about~?"

"Wha?!" Misty blushed furiously.

"I don't have time for this! I'm going!"

"Yeah, yeah. Good luck on your matches~"

And the screen went blank.

Misty sighed in relief, only for a chestnut-haired girl to squeal in excitement.

"Ehhhh~. You and Red?"

Blue's Ability Delusional activated.

"Sooo? What do you like about him?"

"His looks? Nah, he's average compared to Green."

"His personality? Nah, too reckless and stubborn."

Misty could only sweat drop at her comments.

'It just turned into a roasting session…'

The, a light bulb turned on in Blue's mind.

"Oh! His eyes! That's probably the only good thing about him," Blue guessed with confidence.

And she was right on the money.

"N-no! You got it all wrong! I don't like him like that!" Misty countered with a blush.

Blue then sagged her shoulders.

"Huh? Really? That's boring."

"Yes! He's just someone I acknowledge. Besides, he's just a kid," Misty stated with a huff.

There was a relatively large age gap between Ash and Misty. The former being 11 while the latter was 16.

The year Ash started his journey was the first year of Misty's Gym Leader career.

"My ideal person would be someone older, taller than me, a great battler, and matured," the redhead listed.

"Wow… I never thought there was someone even more delusional than me…" Blue blurted out.
