Love in Action
Chapter One
The sun rose high over Ringtown, with the Dodrio's cry to signal the start of the day. Most of Ringtown's citizens were still asleep, except for the Ringtown Rangers.
Solana woke up slowly, so she would not wake up her soundly sleeping Plusle, on the foot of her bed. They had a long day ahead of them, and Plusle, being the energetic Pokémon it was, needed her sleep. Once Solana was awake, she slipped into her Ranger Uniform and put her capture styler in her belt. At that moment, Plusle started to stir.
"Good morning Plusle!" Solana whispered as she strapped on her running shoes. "Did you have a nice sleep?"
"Plah plah" Plusle replied with a yawn.
"I'm guessing that's a yes!" Solana giggled. "Are you ready?"
"Plah!" Plusle excitedly replied. Plusle was always excited for a new day.
"Then let's head to the Ranger Base." Solana said. Plusle ran up onto Solana's shoulder, and they set off.
Solana's house was only a hop, skip and a jump from the ranger base, so she decided to say hello to Lunick on her way there.
Lunick and Solana had been friends since childhood, and had a very close bond. Because they had both become Ringtown Rangers last year, they had been spending a lot more time together. Solana had questioned herself if she liked him, but she didn't think so. Besides, Lunick was dating Arya, a Fall City Ranger. Solana sometimes felt a little left out, but not a lot.
Once Solana arrived at Lunick's house, she knocked on the door.
"Hello? Lunick! Open up! It's Solana!" She yelled.
"The door is open." He said, but it was faint, and his voice sounded depressed.
"Whoa! Lunick, what's wrong?" asked Solana as she entered the house.
"Arya just broke up with me!" Lunick yelled. "She just sent me a text message on my styler."
"Oh… I'm really sorry Lunick. Really, I am." Solana said with a low tone.
In her own mind, a small part of Solana was happy, but she quickly got rid of the thought. Why would she be happy when her best friend was obviously in emotional pain?
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Solana asked with hope in her voice.
Lunick sighed, and said "No, there's nothing. I guess I'm just going to have to deal with this.
"Where is Minun?" asked Solana. "I think Plusle is eager to see him."
As Plusle was Solana's partner Pokémon, Minun was Lunick's partner Pokémon.
"I think he's upstairs in my room, sleeping." Lunick said in a soft tone.
"Plusle, why don't you go upstairs and say hello to Minun?" Solana asked.
"Plah!" Plusle cheered, and before you could blink an eye, Plusle was scampering up the stairs to Lunick's room.
"Now, Lunick, I know you well, and I know that you're lying. If you want to talk about it, just let it out. You know I'd never abandon you in your time if need." Said Solana, putting her hand on Lunick's shoulder.
"Well," Lunick started, "It was just going so well, and I didn't think anything was wrong, and then, bam, she breaks up with me. Maybe it was the long distance relationship thing, maybe it was something I did wrong, or maybe… she just didn't like me. Whatever it was, she said she didn't want to get back together with me."
"Wow…" said Solana. "I didn't think it was that bad."
"Oh well," Lunick sadly said. "I knew it wouldn't last. She was kind of mean to me anyway. I guess I was only dating her for her looks."
"Well, if that's what you think, then that's what you think." Solana said. "Are you ready to head to the base?"
"Yeah, let's go. And… th-thanks for talking to me," Lunick said, slowly standing up.
"Uh, no problem. Wait a second… where are Plusle and Minun? They haven't come down yet." Solana realized.
Lunick and Solana looked at each other for a moment, and then ran up the stairs. They knew that whatever their Pokémon were doing, it couldn't be good.
