Saffron Gym was silent as the doors were chained with a metal spoon bound around the chain the dojo next door fell to the ground with Alakazam lifting the remains of the building into the air with Gallade, Sabrina, and Erika watching the display of pure physic power flatten the building into its base components with Mr. Mime and Gallade stacked the lumber into different piles. "Won't Kiyo be upset at the destruction of his gym," Erica asked taking a seat next to Vileplume.

"He won't mind" Sabrina reassured her as she pointed to where the material was to go her eyes watched as Espeon tried to help move the large stack of wood before Gallade lifted up on his shoulder Gallade giving him a wink before walking off.

"Are you going to tell me why you needed me to witness this" Erika pondered as she yawned into her sleeve her other hand waving Espeon over.

"Saffron needs something to offset the city feeling" Sabrina responded in her usual deadpanned voice her attention still focused on the patches of dirt and grass.

"So, a garden then" she replied as Alakazam helped her to her feet "This is something anyone can do" she spoke coldly giving Sabrina a cold shot to the back.

"So, is Kanto's Nature-Loving Princess just a made up title" Sabrina shot the sharp arrow of shame back at Erika freezing her in place "if you're not up for it, then you may leave" her expression never changing once her eyes still focused on the working Pokémon.

"Very well" she exploded hiding her rage behind the gentle smile drawing a smile herself as Erika flew past her with her Vileplume following close behind both unaware of the white-haired trainer who watched from the railing.

"It seems like fun" Sabrina whispered as she felt a gentle gaze on her back quickly turning to find no one else around the section of the city was flagged off to keep people from being hurt.

"I know, I fell for her trick" she sighed as Gallade nodded placing the lumber down where she pointed the day seemed to go on as Sabrina boldly stared at the Princess in excess. The garden began to flourish with the new plants that the president provided to lighten up the city.

"It's beautiful" Sabrina complimented as she knelt down beside Erika.

"Yes, flowers are beautiful" Erika responded with a smile a faint trail of dirt spread across the bridge of her nose.

"Indeed" she breathed a small sigh as she licked her thumb her other hand grasped Erika's cheek bring her head closer so she could rub the dirt off her nose.

"I'm just going to get dirtier, you know that right" Erika grumbled as Sabrina wiped her thumb off on the washcloth "If you had a cloth why didn't you use it instead" she snapped quickly at the still composed Sabrina.

"Isn't skinship important during friendship" she chided casually as she began to bury the plants roots.

"Who told you that" Erika shouted as she shot up with Roserade steadying her balance.

"I believe it was Misty" she responded her eyes never leaving the area of ground in front of her.

"I think she meant that for someone you feel attracted to" Erika continued with Gallade waving the other Pokémon back to their duty.

"Then nothing is wrong" Sabrina muttered as she stood to meet Erika's eyes the two continuing to go back and forth for hours as the Pokémon continued their work.

"How are they doing," the shadowed figure asked as it approached the railing where the taller gentleman sat his hair was colored red in poof on the back with the rest a winter white.

"It's adorable" he responded as he broke a cracker in half offering the larger piece to the bright orange blob on his back the wing slowly parted to reveal two blue eyes.

"Seems like Volcarona likes Kanto" the figure spoke up again as it hopped up onto the rail both their attention were directed back to the others "So born in Kanto, traveled to Kalos only to end up coming back here" the figure boasted as it patted the cloth that covered its legs.

"I did visit Mt. Pyre" he responded watching the two gym leaders conversation "but you weren't there" he reached back dropping the other cracker into the parted wings which closed fast a soft purr echoed out of the cracks the sun on the cusp of the trees "Volcarona" he called. The blob quickly jutted forward up to his shoulder "Silver Wind" he asked as it shot up into the air with scales showered down toward the garden as Volcarona's spun the wind caring the scales into the sun. The silver scales slowly rained down drawing both Sabrina and Erika's attention upward with Volcarona gliding back to its trainer "Don't worry I have a clear goal in mind for coming here" he motioned as she hopped off the railing to follow him.

"I'm sorry Sabrina" Erika proclaimed as she dusted out her Kimono.

"No I am sorry" Sabrina responded in her usual deadpan voice.

"Why I'm the one who started the fight" she questioned.

"No, I shouldn't fight with the one I love" Sabrina's face burned as she looked off to the side. The two sat in darkness as the sun finally disappeared behind the trees both stood looking off in different ways as Espeon ran between them the gem on his head shined as it attracted the rose petals from that littered the dirt into a large heart however both were looking off drawing Gallade's anger as he placed his hands on the tops of their heads directing their attention to the heart in front of them.

"Would you mind if I stay over tonight, I got my kimono dirty" Erika asked as she gently grasped Sabrina's hand.

"That's fine, I like the sight of you dirty" Sabrina answered as she pressed he lips to the tip of Erika's nose.
