Sylvia the Sylveon walked through the small forest outside of a town she couldn't remember the name of. She walked slowly, ears drooped. Even her ribbons were dragging on the ground. She was always so lonely. And now, on Valentine's Day, it hit home. She watched pairs of people and Pokémon happily exchanging gifts. She sighed, passing a pair of blushing Chespin. She exited the forest, making it to route 3. Sighing once more, she began her walk into the town. Passing an older trainer laughing with another human, she closed her eyes. She passed yet another pair of lovers. She walked into the grass, lying down. She just wanted to sleep the day through, forgetting her previous journey into town. She felt the air cool as she rested, signaling the night had come. She opened her eyes, looking out onto the route. She stood, seeing no couples. She walked out of the grass. Walking closer to the town, she heard the distinct grunt of a Pokémon in pain. Walking toward the sound, she found an injured Golurk laying by a rock formation. He sat, propped up, his shoulder chipped. Sylvia frowned. She didn't like seeing the big robot like Pokémon in pain. She walked over, waving her ribbons. The Golurk grunted, fixing it's green eyes on Sylvia. She had seen Golurk before, but never like this. He was gray and black, and his eyes were green. She smiled, placing a ribbon on the Automaton Pokémon. It grunted it's name, hand pointed in her direction. She smiled brighter, using her species' ability to sparkle to try and make the Automaton Pokémon feel better. She glowed more, using wish to heal the Golurk. The Golurk grunted again, louder. Sylvia was confused. She had just used Wish to heal him, did it scare him? Sylvia had no chance to think, because a sharp tail smashed into her, knocking her to the side. She felt poison eating away at her, and used Heal Bell. Jumping to her feet, she saw the culprit. A foreign criminal from Team Plasma stood there, with a Zangoose and Seviper. Sylvia, hissed. The grunt laughed. "Let's see what this pathetic little kitten can do." He said, casting his Zangoose upon Sylvia. Sylvia closed her eyes, gathering her energy. The Zangoose's Crush Claw never hit, for Sylvia struck it with a super effective Focus Blast. The mongoose like Pokémon was unconscious, leaving the viper Pokémon. The viper moved faster than she could watch, it's tail flying at her face. Before she could react, the viper stopped, screaming in pain. It stopped, suspended in midair, surrounded by a pink aura. She looked to the Golurk, who had used Psychic. She smiled, looking at the viper. She gathered all of her remaining energy, unleashing a powerful Hyper Beam. The viper flew back, crashing into it's trainer and partner. The three laid in a heap, defeated. She smiled at the now healed Golurk, who had stood. The Golurk spread it's hands apart, unleashing a Hyper Beam of his own. The three exploded, flying off. Sylvia ran to the robot, smiling happily. The robot crouched, offering it's shoulder to her. She hopped on, thinking that maybe, this was a good Valentine's Day. And maybe, it wasn't about love, but friendship.
