Ash and Anabel's Date

After the confrontation with Hunter J at Snowpoint Temple, the gang planned to spend the next two days in Snowpoint City. Truth be told Ash wanted to spend some time with Anabel and Brock wanted to be with Lucy. Dawn was going to spend the day with Zoey and Candice.

"So Ash and Brock are going on dates with their girlfriends?" Candice asked Dawn.

"Yes that's right." Dawn sighed. "Those two are lucky. It makes hope I'll get a boyfriend one day."

"I'm sure you will Dawn, just remember you are still growing up." Zoey said.

"Say what is Tomo going to do?" Candice questioned out loud.

"He said he wanted to evolve his Eevee into a Glaceon so he's going to find the Icy Rock." Dawn said.

"Well good luck to him." Zoey smiled.

Meanwhile Ash and Anabel were outside with Pikachu and Espeon.

"So Anabel, what would you like to do?" Ash asked.

"Well Ash, I was thinking about exploring the snowy area, check out the wild Pokemon around here and play in the snow for a bit." Anabel said.

"Sounds fun to me." Ash smiled.

So the group set off together.

At that time Brock was talking to Lucy, telling her all about what he had been up to throughout the Sinnoh journey. He even showed her some of his new Pokemon.

"Hey Lucy, want to walk around Snowpoint City with me?" Brock asked.

"I'd love to Brock." Lucy said.

So Brock and Lucy set off to explore Snowpoint City together.

Ash and Anabel spent the day having fun in the snow; having snowball fights and making some Pokemon out of snow. They even saw some wild Swinub and Snover. Pikachu and Espeon were enjoying themselves too; playing chase in the snow and such.

"I'm glad I decided to take some time off and come here with Brandon." Anabel said. "It's fun here at Snowpoint City, even though it is cold here."

"Well if you didn't Anabel, we wouldn't have been able to meet up again." Ash smiled.

"That's true." Anabel said.

She and Ash embraced each other, while Pikachu and Espeon looked on happily. At that time Brock and Lucy had a good time walking around Snowpoint City together and they had a little fun in the snow too. So the two couples had a wonderful time together.

*That night...*

The gang talked about their day with Zoey, Candice, Anabel and Lucy. Tomo released a Glaceon from a Poke Ball.

"Wow Tomo, you evolved your Eevee right?" Dawn asked.

"Yep." Tomo answered. "I got directions from Nurse Joy for where the Icy Rock was. Since it was in a cave, we got lost most of the time."

"Oh never mind Tomo." Zoey smiled. "As long as you found it in the end, that doesn't matter so much."

"So Dawn, what did you do all day?" Ash asked.

"Zoey, Candice and I had some practice contest battles and Zoey introduced me to her parents, so we did quite a lot together." Dawn answered.

Ash and Anabel talked about their time playing in the snow. Brock and Lucy talked about their time walking around Snowpoint City.

"You four certainly had a wonderful and romantic time together." Candice smiled.

Dawn still felt a bit jealous that she hadn't found her important person yet, but Zoey assured her she would.

Suddenly Pikachu and Espeon pointed up to the sky. It was starting to snow, but the snow looked more sparkly than normal.

"Hey it's the diamond dust." Candice said. "It's a special variant of snow that rarely comes out at night."

"It's beautiful." Dawn said.

It was a beautiful sight to see.

*The next day...*

Anabel and Lucy were waiting for a bus that would take them to a harbor; they were going back to Kanto.

"Well Ash, keep on sending me emails of your journeys and call me okay?" Anabel said.

"I will, Anabel." Ash smiled.

Lucy said the same thing to Brock. Just then a bus came.

"Here's our ride, Lucy." Anabel said.

Before Anabel and Lucy boarded the bus Ash and Brock hugged their girlfriends and gave them a goodbye kiss.

"Safe journey home." Ash and Brock said to Anabel and Lucy.

Anabel and Lucy, still blushing, boarded the bus and left Snowpoint City.

After Anabel and Lucy left, the gang decided it was time to leave Snowpoint City. So they said goodbye to Candice and Zoey and headed to their next destination.
