Who Knew? Chapter One.
Hey Volkey!
I'm going to be in Sunshore in a few days real soon. Need to take a break. I'll be sure to stop by and say hi!
Love, Flint.
Volkner sighed as he set the letter down. Lord knew he didn't feel in the mood to deal with Flint. His old friend was a little to hyper for his calm and dreary personality to handle most days. However, he didn't have much time to drone on because a trainer approached his small stage on which he sat. The trainer was a young girl with long brown hair and a strange blue piplup dress.
"Volkner! I challenge you to a battle!"
The blond haired male sighed, standing. He took out a small marble sized ball and tapped the white button in the center with his forefinger. The pokeball grew in size until it rested fully in his palm. "Fine." He said allowed. Then he grumbled, "Let's get this over with…" He threw the ball into the air. "Go Raichu!" The battle had begun.
Volkner sighed as he exited the gym. The battle with the girl ended quickly, his win of course.
"Seriously," He sighed, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Bringing water type pokemon to an electric type gym. Why can't people use their brains?"
He huffed and followed the path to the north that led to the beach, which was his favorite spot to watch the sunset. He came most often, every evening, everyday in fact. It was a little secret of his. It gave him some sort of ultimate peace to just watch the sun drift behind the edge of the ocean. Peaceful, and relaxing.
Most day he sat alone. Today however, there was someone sitting in the sand. A raven haired boy who wore a sharp blue hat and cape type cloak. His back was turned so he couldn't see the guy's face. Volkner shifted his weight to the other foot and the sand crunched beneath his feet. The man obviously heard it because he whirled around and looked straight at the blond.
He seemed surprised to see someone standing there. "O-oh, I'm sorry. Am I in your way?"
He started to rise but Volkner waved his hand. "No it's fine. I can just sit beside you." And he proceeded to do exactly that.
The man beside him looked back out at the ocean towards the horizon. "My names Riley." The older man glanced at him out the corner of his eye.
"Volkner…" He said simply.
"Ahh… So you're the famous gym leader that no one can beat…"
Volkner mearly shrugged his shoulders, deciding not to comment. It sounded like a rhetorical statement anyway.
A few moments passed as they both watched the sun set in silence. Then Riley spoke. "I think sunsets from Sunshore are the best."
Volkner glanced back over at him and nodded. "Yeah, they are." And the comfortable silence continued until everything became dark.
Yeah I know it's really short, but I've had this one part sitting in my notebook for forever and I wanted it out. Anyways, yeah strange couple, but for some reason I like it :D
