Summary: A girl, Emily, runs into our crew when they enter this old-fashioned town, she is looking for her female Nidoran. The gang decides to help look for her, her name is Maria, while at the same time a boy, Ralph, is looking for his male Nidoran. We are combining Romeo and Juliet with West Side Story folks, my fever dream. Emily and Ralph run into each other, and they fight with sticks. They find Tony and Maria, and these Pokémon are chuuu-uuuu-my, what cuties. Ralph and Emily separate them senselessly separate the Nidoran, a local diner operator explain that Ralph and Emily are always competing and don’t like each other, while their Nidoran are in love. Tony sneaks off to Emily’s place to call out to Maria, and Misty reveals that she is a romantic. Ralph and Emily are next door neighbors, and Misty has decided she will fight for the love of the Nidoran. Misty writes two love letters, addressed to Ralph and Emily, while Ash questions the legality of these letters. Tracey suggests that Ash and Misty love each other, they don’t agree. Jessie is on the love train; she just wants someone to love her and her evil ways. Meowth offers to help Tony, but he declines. Emily and Ralph start fighting again, Misty’s love letters did not work at all. A bride and groom show up, but they steal Tony and Maria, its Team Rocket! Tony and Maria escape from their cages, and are cornered by Arbok and Victrebell. Ralph and Emily work together like Tony and Maria, and start to crush hard. Both Nidoran kiss and evolve into a Nidorino and a Nidorina. Tracey start sketching the scene, and Ash starts thinking about kissing someone.
