'X' - Thinking

Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon, just the ideas in this story. Though it would be nice...

Chapter 1: Reunion

"Jolteon! Thunder!"

Jolteon's hair comes alive as electricity shoots off of it and hits Alakazam dead on, sending it to the ground in a charred heap.

"Alakazam is unable to battle. Hunter Z and Jolteon are the winners!", announces the match judge. Z walks up to Jolteon in the middle of the arena and rubs his fur, congratulating him on a hard fought battle, and then returning him to his pokeball.

As he is doing that, a feminine figure makes her way towards the center of the arena.

"You've been gone for a year, and you've gotten even tougher...I guess even pokemon masters have to keep on training", she said as she came upon Z. Z got up and examined his opponent, who was wearing a zipped up black denim dress that hugged the curves of her slender, 5'8" body. Her silky black hair flowed down to the middle or her back, her green eyes radiating with intensity. She did the same look of his 5'9" athletic frame, starting with the black boots and jeans, up to the black hoodie, to the mini-afro, caramel skin, and his eyes. They were a sight to behold, the one on the left being an angel-like white, while the other was blood red.

"Yea, you could say that Sabrina", Z responded as they headed towards the gym entrance.

"So, how was the getaway?", Sabrina asked curiously. Z turned to her as they continued for the exit.

"It...was alright. I was still found by trainers, but not many...what about you?"

"You know me...just continuing to run this gym", Sabrina responded. They exit the gym into the snowy December night of Saffron City. A light breeze flows by, rustling Sabrina's hair as she locks up the Saffron City Gym, snow blanketing the ground.

"You know, the gym was supposed to be closed today. But when I heard you were in town, I made an exception", Sabrina said matter-of-factly.

All Z could do was put his hands in his pockets and grin. "I didn't know I was that special." Sabrina looked at him and smirked.

"Wanna get something to eat?"

Halogen lights come to life as Z and Sabrina enter his condominium. It was kinda big, with a black couch facing a 50" TV sitting in the middle of the room with a small kitchen to the right of it and a hallway leading the bathroom and bedroom on the other side of the room. Z and Sabrina took off their coats and draped them across the couch. Both of them sat on the couch as Z turned the TV on. Sabrina cuddled up next to Z and laid her head on his now exposed, toned chest, while he stroked her hair.

Hunter Z, whose real name is Lee Saia, is from Saffron City. Orignally, he didn't want to be a pokemon trainer, but to travel the world. However, that all changed when he found an injured Eevee near his home. He nursed it back to health, and that's when his legacy began. Now 10 years, numerous tournament and championship wins, and many pokemon later, he has become a powerful pokemon master...among other things.

"So, how long you gonna be in town?", Sabrina asked.

"Till tomorrow. There's a tournament in Delten City that I plan on attending," Z responded. To that, all Sabrina could respond with was with a sorrowful "Oh". Z noticed the change in Sabrina's attitude and began to rub her right arm.

"Hey, I'll only be gone for a few days. I'm not participating in it, just being a spectator. Then, I come back and stay for a few months", Z replied.

"Well...I guess I'll just have to accept that", Sabrina said, a little more happy with her situation. "I...I know we aren't going out anymore...but I still wanna spend time with you."

Z smiles at Sabrina's comment as he pulls Sabrina closer to him, her head now next to his. He glances at the clock sitting above his TV, which reads 1AM, then looks at Sabrina. He had to admit, she, in his eyes at least, was beautiful. Too bad his travels and her job at the gym got in the way of their relationship...

"Hey, its getting late. Want me to take you home?", Z asked.

"No, I'll stay here", she remarked.

"But..."

He was cut off by Sabrina's lips as they met with his for the first time in a long time. An instant of shock led to a few minutes of response as tongues clashed. Sabrina moved and straddled Z as their make out session began to get more intense. Then a pause finally came when both released their vice grip on each other's lips for a breather. They looked into each other's eyes, looking for an answer as to what might happen next. That answer came as Sabrina got off of Z and grabbed his hand, leading him into the bedroom. Their lips met again and again as they laid their bodies on the bed, as their love-making escalated throughout the night...

Sunlight slipped through mini-blinds and landed upon Z's eyes as he awoke from a peaceful slumber. He felt a weight upon his, which startled him at first, but when he looked to see what is was, he was relieved. For there lay a sound asleep Sabrina Magine. Then the events of last night flood his mind as he rubbed his hand along her head, a smile present on his lips. A stifled moan came from her lips as her eyes fluttered open. She looks a Z and smiles.

"Good morning, Z."

"Likewise, Sabrina."

"So, you're off?", Sabrina said as she stood at the entrance to the gym. Z shifted the black backpack on his back, making sure none of its contents weren't sticking him in the back.

"Yep. Got 30 minutes till my train leaves", Z stated. "Hey, you take care alright?"

Sabrina's response was a kiss on the cheek, followed by a tight hug.

"I will, Z. You do the same."

"Always."

They let go of each other and Z starts making his way towards the magnet train station. Sabrina waves good bye as Z dons the hood to his hoodie. He looks up to the sky as the sun continues to melt the snow covering his hometown.

"Deltan City, here comes Hunter Z."

Well, I finally decided to put this thing up after its been sitting on my computer for a while. Don't really know where I'm going with this, but it should be a fun ride. Please R&R.
