Roark couldn't get it out of his mind. He absolutely had to ask Gardenia on a date.
One day, he decided that he was ready. He walked out his Gym's front door.
"Keep things in order," he said.
"You don't have to worry about a thing, Roark," a Junior Trainer replied.
As he strolled up the fairway to Eterna City, he became increasingly nervous. Although he had seen Gardenia through her Gym window and gone to Gym Leader meetings with her, he never actually had the heart to talk to her. He entered the Gym and walked to the door in the back.
"Don't go in there," Rose said to Roark.
"This is important Gym Leader business!" Roark replied. "Now, if you don't mind..."
"I know why you're here, Roark," Rose said. "You're too late. Our Gym Leader's heart belongs to another man."
"Really?" Roark said, dumbfounded.
"Yes," Rose answered. "Now, if you don't mind, I have to train my Turtwig."
Roark walked back to Oreburgh City disappointed. He couldn't believe his ill fortune. He had a hard time getting to sleep once he got back to his Gym. As he laid in bed, he wondered who Gardenia's man could possibly be.
