A plane was in the air somewhere in the Pokemon world, flying towards Castelia City. It was a United Airlines plane, flight number 777.
Among the passengers were Dawn Diamond, fresh off finally winning a Sinnoh Grand Festival, and her boyfriend Kenny Bebe, who placed second in the Grand Festival she had won.
But they weren't really rivals rivals, they had a strong relationship with each other to the point where they were significant other to each other. Sitting on Dawn's lap was her starting Pokemon, Piplup, a small blue penguin chick who never evolved because it was given an Everstone to prevent evolution, at his request.
When Dawn's Piplup came close to evolving, he found out he did not want to evolve, hence the Everstone. Kenny's Piplup, on the other hand has since grown into a full adult Empoleon.
Dawn and Kenny were going on the most interesting of dates, one that required a plane flight to Castelia City, but of course Kenny's father is famous.
He is Jeff Bebe, the lead singer of the classic rock band Stillwater, by far Kenny's favorite band. And with fame comes fortune. So paying for the plane tickets to Castelia City in Unova was not even remotely a big deal for Kenny.
The date that they were going on that required these expensive plane tickets was to go to the Skyarrow Bridge just to the east of Castelia City. What is so special about a bridge you say? Well, let me, the writer, indulge you, the reader.
Every spring, tons of expectant female Golbat and Crobat fly from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Alola to prepare for the arrival of their Zubat pups.
These Pokemon are not native to Unova, so getting to see the Poison/Flying-type bats is a real treat for many in the region.
The only bat Pokemon native to the region are Woobat and their evolved form Swoobat, who have a mainly fruit-based diet unlike the Crobat line, who have an even split of Bug-types and the blood of other mammalian Pokemon.
The fact that the Crobat line feeds on bugs is great for farmers, as a number of Bug-types are considered pests to them for damaging their crops.
Every night during the spring and summer, many gather over the Skyarrow Bridge to see the mother Golbat and Crobat emerge to begin their nightly hunts for food. This was an exciting prospect for Dawn and Kenny.
"So, the Skyarrow Bridge has a maternity colony consisting of mother Golbat and Crobat from other regions and their Zubat pups, and every night during the summer, the mothers emerge from the bridge to hunt for Bugs and mammal Pokemon blood," Kenny said.
"And many gather at the bridge to see the Bat Pokemon emerge every night?" Dawn said.
"Yes. Some people even go to a lower level afterward to see the pups," Kenny said.
Golbat and Crobat mothers generally have one Zubat pup every year. The pup feeds off its mother's milk for about 3 months, during which time it learns to fly. Their mothers leave them at the roost most of the time to hunt for food, returning at least twice a day to nurse them.
Kalos-based Golbat and Crobat are special. They are based mainly on red bats as far as motherhood goes, they can have anywhere between one and four pups, who cling to them in flight.
The pilot made an announcement. "We are now landing in Castelia City, please fasten your seat belts."
Kenny said, "are you ready to see some Bat Pokemon emerge from a bridge, Dee-Dee?"
"Oh what is with you and that name Kenny? Are you ever going to let me live that incident down? Anyway I am ready to see the emergence of Bat Pokemon from a bridge," Dawn said.
Kenny and Dawn got off the plane and into the airport terminal.
They went into the gift shop, where they purchased some memorabilia related to the Skyarrow Bridge Bat Pokemon Colony, including a couple of T-shirts.
They next went to a car rental agency, looking to rent a car to drive to their hotel which they chose before making the trip.
"Do you have anything made by Chrysler?" Kenny said.
The clerk at the desk was looking, and he found something. "Would a blue 300 be sufficient for you sir?" he said.
Dawn said, "we'll take it."
Someone else from the car rental agency showed them to the blue Chrysler 300 they had just rented, and gave them the keys.
Kenny put all the stuff in the trunk of the car, and then got in the driver's seat. "I'll drive," he said.
Kenny drove the two of them to the hotel where they were staying at. It was still early afternoon, so there was ample time before it was time to see the Golbat and Crobat emerge from the Skyarrow Bridge.
Kenny and Dawn decided to order and watch a movie, "Almost Famous." This movie was partially a biography on the band Stillwater that Kenny liked so much. It was Kenny's favorite movie of all time.
Soon, the time came where Kenny and Dawn needed to leave for the Skyarrow Bridge to see the Golbat and Crobat emerge from under the bridge to go on their nightly hunt for bugs and Pokemon blood.
Dawn said, "it's just about time to go to the bridge Kenny. Let's get our special shirts on so we can fit in with the other people at the bridge."
"Yeah, that is a good plan," Kenny said. Dawn and Kenny went into separate rooms to change from their regular shirts into shirts celebrating the Crobat line colony that roosted under the Skyarrow Bridge.
Kenny and Dawn left the hotel with their cellphones as well, so they could take pictures of the Bat Pokemon as they emerged from under the bridge.
Kenny and Dawn arrived at the bridge. There they met a number of other people waiting to see the Golbat and Crobat emerge at dusk.
"There's quite a lot of people here," Dawn said.
Kenny responded, "and we're probably not the only ones here on a date."
Before they knew it, dusk came, and emerging from under the bridge was a horde of Golbat and Crobat going out to find food in the form of Bug-type Pokemon and the blood of other mammalian Pokemon.
Kenny and Dawn watched in awe as they took pictures on their cellphones.
Kenny said, "there's probably a few couples here, but none of them are kissing."
"None of them...except for us," as Dawn began to embrace Kenny in a passionate kiss.
The other on-lookers took a look at Dawn and Kenny as they kissed for a long time.
As soon as they emerged from the kiss, everyone began to clap.
"Make that two great things you saw tonight," Dawn said.
"Love is a very powerful thing," Kenny said.
A number of people said things in agreement.
After that, Dawn and Kenny went down to a lower level,. There they and a number of other on-lookers could see a large number of Zubat pups roosting, waiting for their mothers to return from their hunts.
"The pups are so cute!" Dawn said.
"They'll probably grow big and strong, just like their moms," Kenny said.
No doubt this was the best date Dawn and Kenny had yet. Bat Pokemon are magnificent creatures, just as magnificent as the love Dawn and Kenny have for each other.
