Chapter 1: Wallace

It was depressing. Every time it rained in Sootopolis City, all Wallace could think about was her.

Winona.

To put things simply, he had a crush on her. No, Wallace was head over heels in love with Winona. Once upon a time, they were a happy couple. Then soon enough, that was over. It all started on a rainy day.

Flashback

It was raining. Wallace was sitting in the gym of his hometown, the Sootopolis Gym. He was waiting for something. Or more like someone.

He was waiting for Winona.

Winona. The beautiful, lavender-haired Gym Leader of Foretree City. Oh, and his girlfriend, too. They had been dating for about four months now, and Wallace could not have been happier. He had a crush on her, but being shy, he did not dare to admit it. He was surprised, though, when the Flying Type specialist confessed her feelings. It turned out she felt the same way about it him.

Wallace was getting worried. Winona had sent him a text message saying she would come in ten minutes. That was forty-five minutes ago. He peered out of the window and saw that it was drizzling. Now he was really worried. How was his girlfriend going to get here on her Pokemon if it was raining?

Immediately after that thought, the Gym door burst open. It was Winona, and she was drenched. Dripping with water head to toe, she walked over to Wallace. Instead of giving him peck on the cheek like she usually did, the lavender haired girl told him simply:

'I need to talk to you. Meet me in the Pokemon Centre in an hour.'

She turned and left.

Her tone scared him. Wallace disliked hearing Winona speak like that; it made him feel nervous. By the sound of it, it was probably bad. What had he done? Did he do something wrong?

An hour later, Wallace turned up. He saw Winona sitting in a corner, a Pokeball in her hand.

'Winona.'

She turned to look at him and stood up, stuffing the red and white object into her pocket in the meantime.

'Wallace. I'm sorry, but…'

Her poker face faltered so quickly Wallace wasn't even sure whether it happened.

'But what? Tell me, Winona!'

'I'm breaking up with you.'

Flashback End

Even after all those months after she left him, Wallace still didn't understand why. He wanted to scream. He wanted to cry. But he kept clam. He had to.

Apparently, Winona had felt they were falling apart. She said she was attached to the sky, and Wallace was attached to the water. She thought things wouldn't work out.

He wanted to prove her wrong, he wanted to show her they could be together. But she was on the verge of tears. Wallace couldn't let her cry. He asked whether it would make her happier and she nodded. His heart ripped a little, but he told her that he would be happy as long as she was happy. It was a lie, yet at the same time the truth.

It was seven months since they broke up, and they haven't seen each other since. Wallace wanted to meet Winona again; he wanted to see how much she changed, and wanted to see her beautiful smile on her face once more.

He looked up at the sky, and it was drizzling slightly.

'Winona,' he whispered. 'I miss you.'

How was that? Hehe, I love Gracefulshipping. Next chapter will be Winona's Point of View.
