Here's Chi Yagami's suggestion for a Morty/Soul story. Hope you like it!

Lyra/Kotone= Soul because I like that name better.


What am I doing here? It's because I'm here to take in the beauty of Ecruteak City! It has nothing to do with wanting to catch a glimpses of the gym leader, Morty, of course not. I just really like Ecruteak City that's all.

Besides I doubt he would want to see me, after all I crushed his dream and goal. I was the one to catch Ho-oh, not him. I didn't help him out like I did with his old friend, Eusine; though I'm sure Eusine doesn't feel the same. Eusine had a very unhealthy obsession with Suicune, so by catching the Aurora Pokemon I helped them both out; or at lease I want to think I did. I wish it were the same for Morty.

Enough thinking about him! I'm here for the city's sights and not him! I'll go to the burn tower, where I first met him-I mean where I first saw Suicune, Entie, and Raikou. Yeah, where I first met them! Besides I also met Eusine there and ran into Silver again. And anyway the burn tower is a very interesting place. Yup, interesting, it has nothing to do with him, nope nothing.

Meganium and I are making our way to the tower, easily. Lucky for us we haven't caught the attention of anyone yet and I want to keep it that way. Ever since I became the Johto champion, so many people have been trying to get my attention. At first I was flattered but now it's annoying, I can see why Red went into hiding. It seems like the only time I ever get to be by myself is when I'm in some cave or rare chances like this when I go unnoticed.

"Is it Champion Soul? It is!" someone screeches. Spoke too soon. Meganium growls and stands between the oncoming crowd and me. I sigh, pet his back to calm him down, and turn to face everyone. I try to keep a smile on my face but it's hard, when I'm so annoyed.

Not long after the first cry, are Meganium and I surrounded. Everyone is shouting at me, wanting me to pay attention to only him or her, as if that is even possible. While I'm being screamed at and even being pushed and pulled around, Megainium is being touched and pulled; he really hates it. He's going to attack soon; I need to get him out of here. I pull out his ball to return him, when a hand on my shoulder stops me. I look up at the source and it's him, of all people.

"Alright everyone back up and give her some room," Morty orders and everyone does as he says, but they still remain. Meganium is please with the space and he shows it by stomping around. Everyone is quiet and watching for Morty's next move. He smiles and starts to push me past the crowd. My Pokemon cheers happily and skips along behind us.

He led me to a large old style home that you would only find in this city. He sets me down in the living room and even lets me keep Meganium out. I can't believe I'm in his house, though it doesn't mean anything to me, nope not a thing. He excuses himself to go and make tea.

His ghost Pokemon are floating around the room having fun, except for Gengar. Gengar is sitting right next to me, watching me. I'm not afraid of ghost or ghost Pokemon but Gastly and their evolved forms make me a bit nervous because I feel like they'll play some kind of prank on me. I glance at my own Pokemon and he's happily playing with a Gastly and Haunter, so much for counting on him if something goes bad.

I'm sitting perfectly straight, stiff even, trying to ignore Gengar but I'm failing. So I glance at him from the corner of my eye to see him still watching me. Suddenly, he places a hand on me and I flinch. He whimpers and turns away and my eye immediately fly to him, he looks hurt. I wrap my arms around him and apologize. He sits on my lap and forces me to keep my arms around him. He seems so happy and cute! I love his Gengar! J-just his Gengar, n-not Morty himself!

As if on cue, Morty returns with two cups of tea in his hands. He sits down and places my cup in front of me. I reach out to take it but his ghost Pokemon grabs my hand and brings it back to him. I look down at him and he's frowning and holding my arms. I look up at Morty, who sighs. "Sorry, he can a bit clingy," he says as he takes a sip. "He's taken a shine to you."

"It's okay. He's cute," I say and add a squeeze to emphasis the point. Gengar smiles and bounces in my lap. "I won't let you go but can I use an arm to drink my tea?" He looks of to the distance, contemplating my request; eventually he releases an arm so that I can use it.

"I think you should hide out and wait for excitement to die down before going anywhere. You're welcome to stay here until it does."

"Thanks," I mumble before taking a sip of the tea. I keep the tea close to my face and the warm steam brushes my face that has to be why my cheeks are warm, not because of his sexy voice or the nice offer.

I sip my tea and my eyes dart around the room because looking at him might give him the wrong impression and I don't need. Haunter flies over to Morty and begins to pull at the scarf. Morty unwraps it to give to his Pokemon, and Haunter flies off with it to Meganium to wrap it around his neck. Meganium lowers his voice and does some weird motions and this causes the ghost Pokemon to laugh. I think he's trying to imitate Morty and he's so cute! I just love Pokemon!

Morty chuckles as he watches my Pokemon goof off. Glad he's not offended by this. I look at him and I can't help but take in his features, but that doesn't mean anything! Girls do that all the time with guys, right? Heck, guys do it all the time too! Anyway, his blonde hair is so lovely. I wonder if it's soft...I want to touch it. And his violet eyes can make any girl lost in them. And his lips are so…I just don't know how to describe them, and I want to feel them against mine…Wait! No I don't! Anyway, he's very handsome. He turns to me and smirks. I jump and my face is heating up very quickly. I look away to stare at a painting of Ecruteak City at night.

"Do you want my number?" he asks. I quickly whirl my head back to him, a giant smile on my face.

"DO I?" I nearly shout. My actions quickly sink in and my face heats up again and I look back at the painting. It's a really nice painting... "I-I mean sure..." That so did not hide my slip up. I'm such an idiot. But it's not like I want his number because it's his, I want it because he might want a rematch like the other leaders, and battles are fun.

"Okay, hand me your gear." Without looking at him I give it to him. My face still hasn't cooled down yet. It's quiet between us as he punches his number into my gear. I'm happy that I'm getting his number but only for the future battle... He finishes punching in his number and mine into his before returning mine. "I'm free on Tuesday nights give me a call then for a battle." I nod but my eyes are still on the painting. "But you are welcome to call me whenever you feel like it," he adds and my face heats up even more. Why? It's nothing more than just for simple chatting that's what friends do. He's just a friend to me and nothing more!

"T-thanks," I whisper. As I take back my gear our fingers brush and this weird electric signal pass through my body. I jump and drop the gear. It bangs loudly on the floor...great can I stop making a fool of myself now?

"Soul, are you alright?"

"Y-yeah." It's quiet again as I clip my gear back to my bag. Gengar jumps off my lap to go join the other Pokemon that are playing with Morty's scarf. One of Meganium's vines steals my hat and places it on Gastly's head and they erupt with laughter. Are they going to imitate me too?

"It's late and I'm sure the Pokemon Center is full. You may stay here if you want." I look at him and he's just smiling. "I really don't mind. My house is most certainly big enough." Megainum cries and stops his foot. He wants to stay so I guess that decides it. Morty walks over to me and reaches a hand out to me to help me up. I take his hand and the electric signals erupt through my body again. Fine, I shall admit it! I do like Morty but it's only a small crush and nothing more!


This was supposed to be a one shot but I don't really like how the ending turned out so I'm going to try and continue this.

I love favorites but I love reviews more! So please leave a review if you are going to favorite this!
