Shipper: SecretHideoutShipper (Anabel & Noland)
Resume: Songfic. In the 5th day of the Battle Frontier Anabel and Noland talk about the Artesian Cave.
The 5th day
Underneath it all
I'm still the one you love
Still the one you're dreaming of
Underneath it all
I'm missing you so much
Baby, let's not give it up
Violetta-Underneath it all
That was the 5th day in the Island of the Battle Frontier, many tourists and trainers were arriving there to see the place and challenge the Frontier Brains. Anabel, the Salon Maiden of lilac and short hair was in her living room, a huge and clear place with big windows and many couches and a table of tea, in the Battle Tower.
She was thinking about the events that had happened in the last days, when the Guilde Hideout had tried to capture Jirachi and attacked them. In some hours, Emerald would be challenging Tucker to get his 5th symbol. Anabel was worried, thinking in a way to defeat the enemy before the 7 days. Then someone knocked on the door and she saw in the video that it was Noland, the Factory Head of brown hair and grey eyes.
"Come in, Noland." She said smiling, despite her worries.
"Good morning Anabel. Are you going with us, watch the battle between Tucker and Emerald?" The man asked gently.
"No, sorry. I'm worried about Jirachi and the island."
He sat in the couch beside her, touching her shoulder delicately, saying:
"Don't worry, when the enemy attack, we'll be prepared."
"Yes, but I think I should go back to Artisan Cave. Maybe is there where the Guilde Hideout is going to catch Jirachi."
Noland was nervous and punched the table, scaring Anabel.
"You're not going to go back there. The first time all you went there while I was at the hospital, you were attacked."
"But this time we're prepared."
"Anyway we need all of us to stay here because the next place he's going to attack is here! And I'm not going to let you be in more dangerous than necessary." Noland said angry. He couldn't let her get hurt, she was too important to him.
Anabel crossed her arms, her lilac eyes dangerous, as angrier as Noland.
"But I'm sure Jirachi will come back there. I'm going to talk to Scott, he'll agree with me."
But when she was going to the door, Noland held her arm, approaching her to him, his grey eyes serious, ordering:
"Stay here! Please…" The last word was more hesitant, sweet. "You're my friend, my best friend."
"I'm going. I'm one of the more powerful Frontier Brains here." She insisted, angry.
"So I'll go with you."
Her expression softened and her voice was sweet, while touching his hair with her free hand.
"No, the others need you here, you're the most intelligent. Stay here, release me."
Noland breathed her violet's perfume on her neck and then he released her. She smiled.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine Noland."
"If you're saying... Bye." He replied, sighing.
Then he left to the Battle Dome where was going to happen the battle. But when Anabel saw him by the windows outside, thinking how much she liked him, she ran to the elevator.
The Island had a beautiful garden with many flowers and trees where many insect pokemons were, a Street Market, Hotel, Restaurants, Arenas and the Battle Facilities. Many trainers were buying Lava Cooks, TMs and other things for the battles. Anabel saw the man of brown hair and his white overcoat in the street, going to the Battle Dome, and she shouted:
"NOLAND, WAIT!"
Noland stopped, surprise, looking the other Brain running toward him. When she reached him, she, normally prided and cold, was sweet and gentle.
"I don't know how you feel about me, but I like you Noland. But probably I'm saying something fool, forget all that I say, maybe I should forget you, I'm just a girl. So, I have to go. Bye."
She was blushing, her eyes sad, going to return to the Battle Tower, when he called:
"Wait Anabel…"
She stopped, static, when he approached and held her face, looking into her eyes.
"Why are you afraid Anabel? What was that talk about forgetting me? I'd never agree with something like this. I like you Anabel. You and only you, my little one."
Her eyes were shocked and then, lovely, while he continued:
"You can feel with your powers, right? I like you in the same way that you like me."
"I don't need to use my powers, my heart can feel it. I like you so much."
She kissed his cheek, with a beautiful and large smile and then looked with her lilac eyes at his grey eyes. Noland kissed her forehead, and then her lips, soft. Many challengers were watching the new couple from the Battle Frontier.
"Bye Anabel, be careful there please."
"I'll. Bye Noland."
She went look for Scott, while he went to the Battle Dome, look for the others Brains, both feeling happier than ever now that they were together.
