Roma's POV

I was currently sitting at the dinner table in my brother, Volkner's, Gym. I sighed impatiently. I looked at the seat next to me and couldn't help but smile. My Eevee, Eve, was curled up on the seat and was fast asleep.

"ROMA! ROMA, I GOT IT!" Vokner yelled, skidding into the kitchen and creating a dust storm. I shouted and leaped out of the chair right before he collided with it.

"ACK!" he shouted. Then he rubbed his head. "I...got it...OW!"

I grinned and helped him up. "What would you do without me?" I asked. He scowled.

"Well, I guess we'll find out! I enrolled you in a school in Unova." Volkner said.

I looked at him in disbelief. "Unova? UNOVA?! THAT'S LIKE TWO HOURS AWAY BY PLANE! You know how much I hate flying!" I protested.

Volkner sighed. "Well, yes...But this school is in Castelia City and is pretty much world-renown for its academics. I think you'll like it there." he said.

I scoffed. "I don't think so," I muttered under my breath. "But Volkner, I'm the Sinnoh region CHAMP! What if I get a challenger?" I asked.

He considered it for a moment. "Tell ya what," he said finally. "If you get a challenger, I'll have Flint call you, kay?" He looked at me.

I sighed heavily. "Ah, fine. I'll go get ready..." I said, already trudging up to my room, which was on a second floor.


A few hours later, I was packed and ready. I recalled Eve and put the Poke ball onto my belt. Volkner had insisted I leave my other Eeveelutions in Sinnoh, as travelling would be a shock for them. I had reluctantly agreed but took Eve; we had a bond stronger than steel and she would be traumatized if I left her at home.

I slid the curving banister, feet first, down to the first floor and once it was in sight, I planted my feet on the banister. The reaction: I was chucked off and I made the best of it, my lightning reflexes allowing me to preform a flip before hitting the floor and putting my hand on it, steadying myself and ensuring I wouldn't catapult head over heels.

Indigo and Moonlight (My Espeon and Umbreon, respectively) looked at me.

"Way to go, Roma! That was fantastic!" Indigo said. She was a rather hyper one, despite being a psychic type.

"Very good, Roma. You're getting better. Much, much better." Moonlight said. Moonlight was much calmer and was a good guardian. He was as silent as a shadow, allowing him to sneak up on intruders. That caused Indigo to wake up and that set off a chain reaction of Eeveelutions. Always a joy in the mornings but I felt well protected. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, got past my team.

Volkner rode on a borrowed Ponyta to get to the airport. I don't trust Ponyta so I rode my Bike there. We made it to the airport and I started getting my doubts. I eyed the plane distrustfully.

"Are you sure I can't just fly Cherry?" I asked, referring to my Leafeon. Volkner looked at me weirdly.

"No. First off, I already have your plane ticket. Second off, Cherry can't fly." he said. I raised an eyebrow. Then I grinned.

"Wanna bet? Cherry can use photosynthesis to lift herself somehow. I'm really not sure how but it's intriguing and it works." I shrugged.

"Still a no, Roma. Oh, time for you to board." Volkner said, pointing at a glowing screen. I sighed heavily.

"Fine...Let's get this over with..." I moaned. Volkner rolled his eyes. I hugged him. Then an announcer lady said to get on the plane. So I did, climbing on behind a blue haired Trainer.

My seat was apparently right next to him so I plopped down, banging my elbow on the edge of the seat in the process. "Arceus!" I whisper-yelled. The blue-haired boy was amused. And had blue eyes. And was hot. I smiled at him.

He smiled back and said, "I'm Cress, the Water type master of the Striation City Gym in Unova. I came to Sinnoh for a break, mostly from my triplet brothers. And you are?" I felt my heart pulsing against my chest. "Oh, I'm Roma. I'm an expert Trainer and a newbie Breeder. It's nice to meet you, Cress." I answered. He kissed my hand and I blushed. His bright blue eyes never left my face.

The flight attendant announced that we were beginning take off and I shivered involuntarily. Cress noticed. "I guess you don't like flying, huh?" he said. I shook my head. "Not unless it's on a Pokemon..." I said through gritted teeth. He took my left hand in his right and said, "Don't worry. I won't let anything bad happen to you." I smiled.

Apparently, I took a nap because I woke up later with my head on Cress' shoulder. He turned his head to look at me and our faces were literally inches apart.

"You're awake. Did you have a good nap?" he asked. I nodded. He made no inclination towards moving so I didn't move my head. Eventually, I went back to sleep. Some time later, I felt a light pressure on my mouth and something soft on my face.

I opened my eyes and saw blue hair. I closed my eyes and kissed back. I felt Cress' body relax and his body turn toward mine. His hand encircled my waist. He leaned away and whispered in my ear, "We're here in Unova, my hometown." I looked towards the window. "Finally." Then I turned to face Cress. "Why'd you kiss me to wake me up (not that it wasn't the most wonderful thing ever)?" I asked teasingly. His face flushed red and he looked at his feet. "Nothing else worked," he lied.

We got off that Arceus-forsaken device once it landed and Cress had the Leader of the Gym, Skyla I believe, fly us to Striation on her Unfeazent. We walked through the door and saw swear words and food flying every which way. I looked at Cress. He sweat-dropped and said quietly "I can't go on vacation for two weeks…." Then louder, "Guys, I'm home!"

The food stopped almost immediately and one last curse was sent across the kitchen before two food-(specifically spaghetti sauce) splattered males walked out and leaned on the balcony railing. They were alike in stature and build but their demeanor, eyes and hair were different. The one on the left had spiky red hair that matched his eyes, stood confidently and eyed me like a prize.

He leaped over the railing and landed on his feet right in front of me. "What's up, gorgeous? Chili's the name, fire's the game. In case you couldn't tell by the hair." he said, guesering to his aforementioned spiky red hair. The one that was on the right had green hair, green eyes and seemed to be a quiet type.

"I'm Cilan. Grass-type specialist and not in to stealing my triplet's girlfriend," he said, glancing mockingly at Chili. Chili punched him.

While they were fighting, a girl came out from the kitchen and deftly leapt over the banister railing. She, too, landed in front of me and looked me up and down before saying, "Hi there! The name's Amy. Fire types are my specialty!" I smiled at her. Cress shook his head good-naturedly.

"Chili and Cilan are, unfortunately, my brothers. We're triplets. Amy's our cousin." Cress said, introducing them. I nodded, taking it all in. Chili and Cilan quit fighting a moment and I took the time to introduce myself.

"My name's Roma. I'm an expert Trainer, newbie Breeder, and Volkner's little sister. I'm here to attend Castelia High," I looked around at them, "Anyone heard of it?" Chili laughed in a way that reminded me of Flint (Elite Four, my bro's best bud, fire master, etc.)

"Of course we've heard of it," Cilan said. Cress sighed and said, "We enrolled there and are attending with Amy. And you, apparently." He added happily.

Something rang and Cilan jumped. Cress, Cilan and Amy sweat-dropped. Cress turned to me. "That," he gestured in the general direction of the sound, "means we have a challenger." He grabbed my hand playfully. "And now, you get to watch me battle! Come on!"

He led me to the stadium. Cress won because of his elemental advantage. He looked at me from the battlefield and raised an eyebrow in a question. I smiled and he walked over to sit by me. His fingers brushed mine and I felt an overwhelming urge to kiss him and run my fingers through his thick hair.

I must have been staring because suddenly I felt Eve scratch me and motion towards Cress. He was looking at his feet, glancing occasionally at me. I moved his head so he looked at me and messed with his hair a little. I tucked the locks he normally has in front of his eye behind his ear and smiled. He smiled back and untucked it, shaking the hair back into place.

Then he ran. And, I admit it, I gave chase! We ran around the Gym, messing up Cilan's hair and Chili's balance. Then they chased us. I was laughing so hard by the end that I could barely breathe. Finally, Cress gave up, lay down on the floor, and said, "Fine. I give. Do whatever you want with my hair." I lay down next to him and laid my head on his chest.

At that point, Cilan and Chili caught up with us and saw us like that. Cress' hands were behind his head and he glanced at his brothers before smirking and moving just a little so he could stroke my hair. Cilan just melted. "Oh! How romantic! Cress finally has a girlfriend!" Chili laughed and said, "It's about time! Seriously man." Cress just smiled and continued stroking my hair.

"Hey Roma?" he asked softly. I moved my head to look at him. "Yeah?" He swallowed and his heartbeat quickened a little. "I was…um wondering if you…uhh….had any arrangements for staying in Unova?" I sat up and shook my head.

"Actually, I was wondering if I could stay with you guys 'cause we're gonna go to the same school (and I love you)?" I asked hopefully, not daring to breathe. He grinned. "Of course! We've been camping out on the floor, just so you know…."

I was able to breathe again and said, "That's fine by me." Suddenly, Amy appeared and cut into our conversion. "If she's gonna be staying with us, Roma's gonna need some new clothes." I opened my mouth to protest but noticed Eve rubbing her head on Amy's leg. That was a sure sign she could be trusted so I shut my mouth and let her drag me to the store.
