"Of course you get one, darling, we've known each other since we were in the Trainers' School. And besides, I'm handing them out to all the kids who graduated with us." Ilima hums as he hands you a rose, a loving gaze in his eyes as he watched you take it. Though, you knew it was a lie as Ilima wasn't close with any of the other kids from back then except for you.

As you smelled the rose, he couldn't help but remember the days at the Trainers' School where you'd always talk about the dreams you had for the future, and of course being the head over heels idiot he is, he offered to pay for your admission into the job, but you denied, saying you wanted to work hard for it. Now here you were, tight on money and working at a Pokémon Center as a Pokémart clerk.

"You know, it is Valentine's day, I could take you out to a really fancy restaurant. Anywhere you want, plus, I can pay for your meal." There he goes again, being the loving dork he is. He really really loved you, and he hoped his hints were enough for you to understand he loves you. Oh well, maybe he could confess at dinner tonight—if you say yes, of course!
