Summer, Febuary 11th, Unova Region.

Hello my name is Claire, I live in the Unova region in the world of Pokemon. It's kinda rough living here but I can manage. I go to battle every day meeting lots of new people. sometimes I triumph, sometimes I fail. my trainer can be a bit gullible at certain times but we work as a team. I remember him winning a championship but he didnt use me for it. Oh, and I think I should mention one very important thing, I'm a Flareon. Tommorow is a very special day, we are taking on the Elite Four!

We get past the Ghost trainer in a flash. We lost our Golduck when taking on the Fighting trainer. When we get to the Dark trainer things dont turn out too good. The trainer turned out to be way over-powered compared to us. All of the Pokemon fainted including myself. I don't remembr the rest untill I wake up on a path. I look up an see my trainer, frowning down at me. Oh sure, pick out your loss on the fire type pokemon eh? I tried to explain to him why I tried my best but the humans dont understand our primitive language. Eventually he said: "this wont work, I wont get anywhere with you so, I'm setting you free". I feel so sad as I see him walk off, without me. I walk off In devastation hating him so much. As my depressed self wanders into a forest I hear strange sounds. I turn around and I see a pack of Wartortle closing in on me, and they don't look too happy. They start to beat me up, it hurts so much, I try to fight back but there are too many of them. They contnue to hit me and hurt me, I howl in pain crying out for they stop, I hear punching and fighting for a few brief seconds then I black out. In my mind I can hear a voice saying my name. All I remember is seeing a big, white and blue face, giving me a faint smile.

I wake up, I'm in some sort of Pokemon center. When I look around I see no posters, no windows and no Nurse Joy. Then I hear- "Rest, you are not well." The voice Is calming, soft and sweet. I hear it again- "You will feel better in the morning, then we will talk". I do as it says. When I wake up I see him. he's tall, he has wings the size of cars and he's... he's...um. "Who are you?" I ask him. it takes a while but he replies and says: "I am Shane." "Allright Shane, explain why you saved me." He turns around, then my mouth hangs open. He was not a regular Pokemon. He was... well... he was a Lugia. "Because you felt it too." "What did I feel?" "Rejection." "What do you mean?" "I had a trainer, she was amazing. We both battled and battled to become the best untill, one day, she rejected me. she left me alone in this cave and she never came back. to this day I still wait forb her to come back." "My trainer and I tried to beat the elite four, I reply. something went wrong so, he left me." I rest my head on him, he hides a blush. "This may not be the right time to ask but where are we now?" "In Chargestone cave. It is getting late. You can leave if you want. The exit it past that path over there." "What about you?" I ask him. "I'll just stay here I guess." He then sheds a small tear as he lays down asleep.I just stand there and look at the exit for a few seconds, but, something inside my heart is telling me to stay. So, I walk over to him and lay down, snuggling into his chest. "Thank you." I whisper in his ear, then fall asleep next to him.

Morning comes, and I realise what day it is, Valentines day, Febuary the 14th! I look aroud but Shane isn't here. I went through the exit to see if he's gone outside. I look around and i see him, but he's talking to a pokemon, but i can't see what type it is. "Who was that you were talking to?" I ask him. "*Sigh* My Brother. He keeps trying to get me going on a date with other Legendaries. I dont like any of them. When I dated Zaptos but, she cheated on me." "Why is he trying to hook you up?" "Because he has a girlfriend and, well, I'm kind of Jelous." "Okay, but why legendary pokemon for dates?" "I know right? I dont mind what type of pokemon she is I would love her, but only if she loved me." I blush to his comment."Shane, I have an idea. Close your eyes and follow me".

I guide him where to go through the routes of the region untill we come to a stop. "Allright Shane, here you will find your true mate." he opens his eyes and reads the sign in front of them building: -POKEMON DATING CENTER-. "Oh no no, no, I'm too nervous for this stuff." "Oh come on! you took down five strong Wartortles and you're scared of a dating game? It'll be fun." "Fine then, but you have to attend it too." "So be it." I reply to him. We both walk into the center and go into the rooms marked: Blind Date. My date went quite well, I talked with a Magmar and he had some pretty funny jokes. Then I see something weird, all of the pokemon, including the magmar I was talking to were running out of the center screaming: "Run from the monster!" untill all who's left is me and Shane. "M-m, monster? is that what they see me as?" "You are not a monster Shane." "Just look at me! I'm hideous, noone would ever date me *Sniff*". I didn't know Luigias were this emotionall.

I pull over a chair, sit on it and say to him: "Hello, I am your blind date." "W-what?" he replies. "My name is Claire, what is your name?" "Sh-sh-Shane." I explain to him the jist of what i'm doing and he plays along. We talk and talk and talk for what seemed like hours. By the time it gets dark he looks so happy. "Thank you Claire, this turned out to be fun." "Shane, why did you really save in that forest? Give me the real answer." "B-because... I... because...I...liked you." I stop, I don't do anything for a moment. Then I say: "Well, it appears you have found your mate. Then I lean in and kiss him. As predicted he kisses me back. We don't want this romantic moment to end, this pleasuse is what we dreamed of as we continue to kiss with passion. "BROTHER! WHAT ON UNOVA ARE YOU DOING?" We tun around and see another Lugia who I assume is his brother. "YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO BE WITH A LOW LIFE!" Shane's brother shouts at us. "I love her, and you cant take that away". I blush as bright as the sun. "I will take care of her." Shane's brother strides out with anger. "I love you." I say to him "I love you too." he replies. As we both kiss we can't help but let the love shoot through our hearts. This was the best day of my life and our love will last long.

THE END.
