A/N: So I recently watched the mega evolution special part 3 english dub and I really love this side series. Alain is cool but he also still loses so it's not like he is a Mary Sue or anything, Mairin is cute and she is my favorite character and I like how Lysander is portrayed and I feel bad for Alain when he find out Lysander's true intents, and Steven is Steven. Those are the only characters to have really appeared, there is also Astrid who Alain battled in the beginning of the first episode, she appeared in the Diance movie and she was cool. And there was that guy from the elite four who I kind of hate. Also the series has made me a big Marrisonshipper and I wanted to write a story about Alain and Mairin.

I got the idea from this story when a friend of mine who had watched all three parts recently and she said "It's weird that when in the first part Alain isn't all that fond of Mairin then in the next part they travel to a foreign region together and he risks his life for her" I told her that there was probably a time skip from part one to part two but she said it was just bad writing, then she told me that since I write fan fiction I should write about Alain and Mairin between Part 1 and Part 2. Anyway Enjoy the story!

As the sun sets we see two young trainers walking a dirt path. One of the trainers is a boy of maybe 16, he has black hair and a fluffy blue scarf, and next to him is a short girl with red hair and a Chespin by her side.

"It's getting dark, are we near a Pokemon Center?" Asked Mairin.

"Nope, the Pokemon Center is still far away," said Alain.

"By the time we get there it'll be so dark we won't even be able to see our hands!" said Mairin.

"I know that, let's find a good camping spot soon so we can get some sleep," said Alain.

"Camping?" Mairin said with confusion.

"When traveling you can't always stay in a Pokemon center so sometimes you have to camp out," said Alain, as he got a tent out of his bag. (A/N: I think Alain has some weird fanny pack or he may not have a bag but whatever)

"But there are Pokemon Centers in almost every town," said Mairin.

"But there are long routes and life is unpredictable," said Alain as he started to set up the tent.

"Oh…" said Mairin as she watched him set up the tent.

"Mairin, do you have a sleeping bag?" asked Alain without looking back at his companion.

"Nope," said Mairin.

"We'll have to get you one later," said Alain with a sigh.

"For now I'll give you my extra blanket to sleep on," said Alain.

"What about a pillow?" asked Mairin.

"Use your bag," said Alain as he finished setting up the tent.

Alain got his sleeping bag and handed Mairin her blanket, he set his sleeping bag up in the tent but there was barely enough room left for Mairin.

"This is a small tent," said Mairin.

"It was designed for one person," said Alain as he sat on his sleeping bag and started to eat some Pokemon food.

Mairin folded the blanket Alain gave her in half then put her bag by her side. She could tell from the tent that it was finally dark outside so Alain turned on a flashlight so they could see. Alain then put away his Pokemon food and took off his shoes.

Mairin took her shoes off as well then unfolded the blanket, she then folded the blanket back over herself once she was laying down. She put her bag under her head, it was kind of lumpy because of her potions and poke balls, but her extra clothes made the bag not completely unbearable to rest her head on.

Chespie curled up and laid on Mairin's stomach and began to fall asleep, once Alain saw that Mairin was settled in her little homemade sleeping bag he turned off the flashlight. Both trainers were very tired from the day's events so they both quickly fell asleep.

Mairin was having a wonderful dream, she was flying in the sky with Alain on his mega Charizard. Fletchlings and pidgeys flew past them in the sky. Mairin, who was originally holding onto Alain, was holding her hands out to touch the clouds. She was so happy.

But her happiness was quickly interrupted by her natural clumsiness. Since she was no longer holding onto Alain she began to fall. Alain tried to catch her, but he was too late, and Mairin was now free falling.

"Mairin!" she heard Alain call.

Mairin began to cry as she saw Alain and Charizard disappear from her sight, but she could still hear his voice calling her name…

"Mairin, get off of me."

Mairin sat up and wiped the tears that had formed in her eyes, she was thankful that the bad dream was now over.

"What's wrong Alain?" Marin sleepy mumbled.

"You were holding onto me in your sleep," said Alain.

"Oh, I'm sorry Alain…" Mairin said now that she was a little more awake.

Alain the grasped her shoulders and had her look at him.

"I'm 16 and your 10," Alain began to explain.

"I'll have you know that I am almost 11 and if you think I was holding onto you for any dirty purposes you are very wrong," Mairin explained to him.

"Well I don't know how girls work and from what I've heard is that they'll go after any man in sight," Alain said, in an almost matter of fact tone.

"It's guys that are always going after girls! Especially guys your age going through awkward body changes. Girls my age still believe in cooties," Mairin told Alain.

"Well, then why were you holding onto me?" asked Alain.

"Probably because I was having a nightmare," said Mairin.

"Oh…" Alain said before causing an awkward silence.

"If you have a nightmare hold on to Chespin instead of me," said Alain finally as he let go of Mairin and crawled back into his sleeping bag.

Mairin covered herself back in a blanket and held onto Chespie who laid by his side. Hopefully Chespie's bright spirit will give her better dreams, she thought to herself as she began to fall asleep once again.

The next morning Alain and Mairin tried to hurry to the next town so Alain could buy a sleeping bag for Mairin and he even bought a slightly bigger tent in hopes that Mairin would never invade his personal space again.

A/N: Sorry the ending is kind of weak. I tried to keep them as much in characters as I could so if they break character I'm sorry.
