The girl on the bed squeezed her eyes together in her sleep as she turned over once more. Her reddish waist length brown hair was draped across her off-white sheets. She had one hand stuffed underneath the pillow her head was on and her other arm wrapped around a second pillow.
Outside her house, a boy sighed as he watched her sleep. The moon over Mossdeep was so large and bright that the ocean around the island seemed to be glowing. In the distance, a wailmer shot a stream of water into the air and then submerged.
"Yo, Jun! Watching Cierra sleep again?" A second boy asked as he strolled past the house. Jun jumped before the owner of the voice continued, "Who do you think you are? Edward Freaking Cullen?"
"Haha." Jun laughed sarcastically and stood up, rubbing the back of his blond head. He was wearing a green and black striped scarf, despite the fact that the island he lived on was quite warm, even at night.
"Seriously, man, could you be more of a stalker?"
"I'm not stalking her. It's just that…she's leaving tomorrow."
"Dude, we're all going to miss her. Get a grip."
Jun just sighed again and shook his head.
******
"Aw, come on. Why are you leaving?" Jun whined. He was perched on the same bed he had been looking at the night before while Cierra sat on the floor stuffing things into a black and purple backpack.
"Kip! Kip!" The mudkip beside her said.
"I already told you, Jun." Cierra said. Now that it was day, she had a pair of red square framed glasses on.
"Enlighten me." Cierra groaned and then whipped her head around to look at him. Jun flinched.
"Because I've lived here my entire life, watching people lose to the twins. I mean, sure, the one guy beat them, but no one else has."
"Who better than you to beat them? You've watched them fight for 13 years!"
"I want something new, Jun. Something different."
"But we were going to travel together!"
"Says who?" Cierra demanded, "I don't remember ever agreeing to such a thing."
"Gah!" Jun exclaimed. He jumped off the bed and walked agitatedly toward the window, "It was an assumption."
"Jun, you are so irritating."
"I'm your best friend!"
"You are not. You're just my irritating rival." Jun groaned.
"You need a rival. Didn't that Ash guy have a rival?"
"…No, I don't think he did." Cierra stood up and swung her backpack over one shoulder, "Come on, Kippy."
"Mudkip! Mud!" Kippy barked. Cierra held out a pokeball and, one shot of red light later, the small mudfish pokemon had disappeared.
"Later." Cierra said nonchalantly. She didn't wait for Jun to respond before she walked out the door.
"Wait!" Jun shouted. He tore out of the small house just as Cierra was beginning to board the boat outside the island. Cierra turned around.
"What?"
"I'll…I'll miss you."Cierra's expression softened for a split second before she replaced it with a glare.
`"Yeah, what will you do with your nights when you aren't watching me like the pervert you are?"
"Erk!" Cierra turned around and walked onto the boat.
Jun watched as the boat whistled once and began to sail away, off to Sinnoh.
"Tree?" asked the Treeko that had been standing quietly by his side.
"She just thinks she got away from us, huh? Well, look out world! Sinnoh is going to have two new trainers!"
