I am a Pokemon addict! Seriously. Pokemon Ruby was my first, those GBA days...

I got Pokemon X(let us all just bask in Xerneas's badass-ness), and 2 hours into the game, I start shipping Calem and Serena. I don't think I've EVER been hit with such a bad shipping craze since TeLink(just a little note: Rinku is forever mine :P ).

I haven't had much time to write :(

Guess which song is mentioned in and you get a CYBER COOKIE.

I don't like Shauna. Period.

Lumiose city was a spectacle to be seen at night: vendors selling out their Poké Puffs, children and their parents spending a little 'bonding time', and Café Soliel in the midst of business. It was easy to say that Lumiose; Kalos's crowning glory, was a city true to the night. Many souls: both aged, and youthful were basking in their newfound contentment. The chilly February air added a certain aspect of mystique to this scenic landscape.

Unfortunately for Serena, it was not so. In fact, it was the quite opposite: she was angry, alone, sad, and so many other good words. She wasn't very happy.

Her 'friends' had abandoned her after she had beat team Flare. She had gotten an overwhelming amount of fame, Shauna had said that she deserved it too. How dare she blame her for something which wasn't her fault! How dare she-

Unable to bear these thoughts without showing any emotions, Serena slumped down the entrance of Poké Video Studios. Those hot tears fell down her creamy cheeks, the image of the stotic, robotic and perfect girl was gone. One of her Pokéballs rattled; her Fennekin was battling to get out of it's small confinement to comfort it's trainer. Alas, where there's a will, there's a way: and her foxy friend broke out, and snuggled into Serena's elbow. She picked her miniature fox and squeezed it, and buried her tearful face into it.

"Y-you won't ever leave me, r-right?" she managed to mutter.

"Murrrr" -Serena took this as a yes.

Serena hugged her Pokémon even closer to her.

Her thoughts fell to her friends once more: Trevor- the Pokédex-completing genius, Tierno- the one with the rad dance moves, Shauna- the loudmouth who had a crush over a certain 'someone' and then…

Then him.

The one whom she thought would stick to her. The one who was her eternal rival. The one who…

The one whom she had a crush on. The one who Shauna was also interested in. She herself knew that he was a million things: completely oblivious at times, a girl magnet, an annoying pain in the rear, and SO many other things. And 'traitor' was the newest to the her heart, she refused to believe it. He was a lot of unpleasant things, but she didn't believe him to be a traitor. She'd learned to ignore her heart by now; the maybe-he-likes-me struggle was breaking her inside.

Hilarious. Absols bless her soul. Her. Serena, sitting in THE 'in' city, in front of THE Poké Video Studios. And apparent all she could think of was boys. Before when she was in Kanto she would've laughed, but now… it didn't seem that weird. She noticed that her tears had dried up; and crusted at the end of her face.

Maybe one day she would confess. Maybe. His name was something that she'd never forget. It was-

"-Oy! Calem! I thought that you could've beat me roller-skating, I was wrooong~!" Shauna exclaimed in a sing-song voice.

"Mhmm..." Calem muttered, obviously lost in thought. He found it irritating that Shauna acted as if she were his… girlfriend to put it frankly. He thought of her as a friend and that was it, he found it annoying when girls took interest in him. He wasn't as oblivious as some people thought him to be- well, not most of the time at least.

"And then we'll go to Soliel! And you too Tierno and Trevor! My treat!" Shauna exclaimed, "Race ya!" she sped faster than a Torchic on fire.

"Dunno 'bout you guys, but I'm not going to loose!"Tierno exclaimed with much zest.

"Don't think I'm backing down!" yelled Trevor, as he tried to sprint, yet his short stature made it difficult.

Trying to block out the noises of late night Lumiose was difficult and with his friend's chatting. And when in doubt, music truly comes in handy! Calem plugged his earphones into his ears, effectively blocking out the sound. What song was it? He strained to remember the name.

I could lift you up

I could show you what you wanna see

And take you where you wanna be

You could be my luck

Even if the sky is falling down

I know that we'll be safe and sound

Something else caught his attention; a perky yellow fox tail.

"…Serena?"
