Soorrrryyy this took long. I have been bit busy and had somekind of writer's block -.- But here it is now, last chapter :)
Normal POV
Gary lied on rock floor and stared at the roof of his prison. He had woken up sometime ago, and was now wondering how long he had been there. And where actually was "there". His pokéballs had been taken away (Surprise, surprise, he thought).
After a while he heard someone talking outside.
"Another one?"
"Yes. We were told to put her together with this one."
"Is it really good thing to put them into same prison? What if they try to escape?"
"They won't… or they can try, but they definitely won't success."
Gary sat up. Something gave him bad feeling.
Door was opened. Ray of light was bright after long darkness, and it blinded Gary for a moment. Someone was thrown inside. Clank. Door was closed.
When Gary got his sight back, he recognized the figure on the floor.
"Leaf?"
Leaf moved bit. Gary went next to her and gently pulled her up.
"Leaf? You okay?"
Leaf blinked her eyes. It took while to her eyes to get used to darkness, but she recognized the voice.
"Gary?" she asked in small voice. She saw him to smile and nod. Leaf sighed, and hugged him.
"Thank god... I was so worried… are you okay?"
Gary blushed. "Y-yeah, I am. But…" he pulled her away, "why are you here?"
"Well… I kind of thought of coming to help you", she said.
Gary looked at her, then around in the dark room (a/n: read: prison), then back to her. "Good job."
Leaf sweat dropped. "Well, it didn't go so well but…"
Gary sighed. "I can see that. But you shouldn't have come."
"But-" He pressed his finger on Leaf's lips.
"I didn't send you away so that you could come back right away and get caught", he said. "I did it so you wouldn't get caught, and that you'd go get help."
Leaf looked to ground. Okay, this was stupid. But she couldn't think very clearly after she released he might be in danger.
"Sorry…" she whispered. Gary sighed, sat back and leaned to wall and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Well, it doesn't matter anymore… after all, we are both here already", he said. Leaf looked at him for a while, then crawled to sit next to him.
They sat in silence for sometime, both in their own thoughts, mostly thinking how could they get out from there. Few times they took a look from another, and if their eyes met, they quickly turned away, blushing.
After ten minutes, Leaf remembered what she needed to do.
"Oh yeah…"
Gary turned his head to her, only to feel her hand painfully slap his left cheek.
"OUCH! What was-?"
"That for, eh? Well what do you think!" She yelled, face red as tomato. Of course, she was talking about the kiss.
Gary stared at her for a moment, not understanding what she meant. Then it started to lighten to him… And he blushed as well.
"That? Well, uh… sorry."
"Sorry? That's all you got to say? Not accepted" She turned away from him, pouting. Gary stared at her back. Then slowly, he moved behind her. He stroked her hair and gave her peck below her ear (that was furthest he could reach without her noticing). He felt her shiver bit.
"You know what, I do recall you kissing me back, too", he said. This made Leaf blush even more (if that's possible anymore).
"W-w-well…." she stuttered. Gary gently pulled her on his lap. "Maybe."
Gary chuckled. "Maybe?"
Leaf turned around. "Yeah, maybe." They moved closer to each others…
A key turned in the lock, and door opened.
"You two. Get up and follow me."
Gary and Leaf changed confused look, stood up and went out. There stood four Team Galactic members who leaded them to corridor.
"You're going to let us be free?" Gary asked, wondering why they didn't tie their hands or anything.
"Yes. You couldn't get far even if you'd try to run", one answered and smirked. Leaf looked at Gary. He looked back, took her hand in his and smiled encouragingly. She gave him small weak smile back.
They were leaded to big room. In middle, stood table where the lied the Adamant Orb. On its sides stood Mars and man with blue hair. Behind, on the wall, was huge triangle and weird marks. There was also a table with small box on it. In there was their pokeballs.
Four members bowed and stepped aside, leaving Gary and Leaf on the middle.
"Sweet, isn't it", Mars laughed looking at the two. "Did we catch a pair of lovebirds?"
Neither Gary nor Leaf said anything, both just stared duo that captured them.
"Why so serious?" Man asked smirking. "Oh yes, maybe we could introduce ourselves properly, now that they have made it this far?"
"Maybe, maybe", Mars purred.
"Allow me to start. My name is Saturn…"
"And mine is Mars…"
"Two of us are commanders of Team Galactic. There is third, Jupiter, who unfortunately is absent now", Saturn finished. Mars walked to the two.
"My, my, now that I look at you, aren't you grandson of Professor Oak?" She asked from Gary.
"Maybe I am, so what?" he said.
"Hoo. You heard that, Saturn?"
"Yes", Saturn said. "But no matter who he is, he has disturbed us, and needs to be punished. Of course, the girl as well."
Mars giggled, and walked back to her comrade. But she stopped in half way. They all heard something from pokéball-box. Everyone turned their heads to its direction. Leaf though that she could swear she saw a small light there.
Saturn walked to the table, and looked into the box.
"Nothing's wrong here," he said and went back.
"Then what was that noise?" Asked one Galactic member.
"Maybe they just bumped into each others or something", said another.
"Yeah, right. They started moving on their on, just like that?" Third threw. "Pokémon are having party in their pokéballs?"
"Shut up!" Mars shouted, and all three went silent immediately. She threw one last look towards the pokéballs, and then walked back to Saturn.
"So then… We still need to get Lustro- What the?" Mars suddenly turned around because of a bright light. Others also turned their heads to it. From the light, appeared a Gloom standing on pokéball-table.
There was silence for a few minutes while everybody stared at it mouths open.
"How did that get out of the ball?" asked one member behind them.
Gary looked at Leaf.
"Umm... neither of us have Gloom."
Leaf looked back.
"Nope…" She turned to look at the pokémon. "Then it must be…"
Gloom's flower started to shake a bit.
"I sure know what's coming now", Gary whispered. "Block your nose." Leaf nodded, and they both did so. In a second from that, Gloom released wave of horrible smelling scent from its flower.
"Eeewwww!" All Galactic people tried to protect their noses, but the smell was too much. Four subordinates ran away from the room.
"Come back, cowards!" Mars yelled, but they were already gone.
"Mars, let's go!" Saturn shouted and grabbed the Orb. Gary noticed this, quickly ran to the pokéballs and took one.
"Go, Electivire!" He released the yellow-black pokémon. "Stop them with Iron Tail!"
Electivire jumped up an all way to the door two commanders were heading, and smashed its tail into the ground in front of it.
"Darn it", Mars cursed. Both stepped few steps behind.
Leaf ran to Gary.
"Well done, Ditty!" She said to Gloom. It smiled and transformed back to pink jell-o and jumped into Leaf's arms. She hugged it.
Suddenly two men ran into the room.
"Commanders! The police have found us!" Another shouted.
"You say WHAT?" Mars yelled.
Gary smirked. "Now what will you do, eh?"
Saturn growled and dug his pocket. He took out a small button, and pressed it.
Gary and Leaf looked around in the room, which was now crumbling and shaking.
"Wh-what's happening?" Leaf asked. They looked up, and saw the roof opening, and out there was a plane. Someone from the plane threw down two ropes which Mars and Saturn grabbed. They were pulled up.
"They're getting away with the Orb!" Gary said.
"Not if I can help it", Leaf replied, took one pokéball and threw it into the air. "Charmy, stop them!"
Charizard came out of the ball and charged towards two escaping commanders.
"Piss off, stupid dinosaur! Saturn, do something!" Mars shouted.
"If you don't remember, I kind of have my hands full here", Saturn shouted back, nodding towards the Adamant Orb while dodging Charizard's attack. But while doing that, The Orb accidentally slipped from his hands. "No! Now look what you've done!" He said to Mars.
"Me? I didn't drop it!"
"Grab it, Charmy!" Leaf ordered her pokémon. Red dragon curved and rushed towards falling item, and grabbed it just before it smashed into the ground.
"Yay!" Leaf clapped her hands. Charizard landed in front of them and handed the Orb. Gary took it.
"Thanks."
They heard Mars and Saturn's curses while being pulled up. Same time from behind charged in five police, Officer Jenny in the lead.
"You two!" She ran to Gary and Leaf. "Thank God we found you. Are you both okay?"
"Yeah", Gary said.
"How did you find us?" Leaf asked.
"After you left, I sent a Staravia to follow you. Since you didn't come out from this cave, it came to get us and leaded us here. We found two Team Galactic members and made them let us inside", Jenny explained.
"Ooh, okay."
Soon one policeman came to Jenny.
"Most of them got away, but we managed to capture some", he told.
"Thank you, good job", Jenny said. She turned back. "You two were great help."
"But their leaders got away", Leaf said looking at the floor.
"Don't worry about that", Officer smiled. "We'll get information from those who we captured and find them in no time."
"And we did get this back", Gary said and handed the Orb to Jenny. Leaf smiled.
"Thank you", Jenny said and took it. "For its safety, it will be moved to new place in few days."
"Good"; Gary nodded. "Take good care of it."
"We will. Are you going back to Eterna?"
"Yeah."
"You can come with us", Jenny smiled. "I'm sure you're both tried after this."
"You bet", Leaf laughed. Gary chuckled. Officer Jenny leaded them outside and into helicopter. It was already late evening, the sunset was almost done. On their way they saw a glimpse of the prisoners. Leaf stared them for a while, until Gary's hand on her shoulder brought her back to reality.
"Hey, you okay?" he asked. She nodded, and smiled a bit. Gary smiled back, and pulled her with him into the copter.
Jenny gave them both a blanket and they sat down. The copter took off. Gary watched as the forests and small towns flashed past them. Leaf leaned on his shoulder, staring the bottom of the copter.
After landing to Eterna City Officer Jenny offered that someone could drive them to Pokémon Center, since it was so late, but Gary and Leaf declined from the honor. They said byes and left from the police station.
"Was quite a day", Leaf said and stretched.
"Yeah, it was", Gary chuckled. Leaf smiled to him.
They saw the Center in the end of the road. Suddenly Leaf stopped.
"What?" Gary turned around.
"Just remembered one thing…" Leaf said. Gary looked at her with an inquiring expression. "There at the prison…" she blushed and stared at the ground "I think we were in the middle of something when those Galactic guys came to get us…"
Gary stared at her. Then he also remembered, and blushed. He carefully walked in front of Leaf.
"So…uh… you want to carry on from there?"
Leaf raised her head and looked into his eyes. Her face was as red as his was.
Then she smiled shyly. "If you want…"
Gary smirked and put his hands on her waist and leaned closer. "You bet."
Leaf twined her arms around his neck. "No tricks this time?"
"Cut out that habit", Gary chuckled, and kissed her passionately. She answered to it with same force.
After time that felt like eternity they separated in the need of air.
Leaf smiled and pressed her forehead against Gary's. "I love you."
Gary gave her small peck on nose. "I love you too."
When they finally continued towards Center, Gary put another of his arms around Leaf. They left their pokémon to Nurse Joy and went upstairs to their rooms.
"Nights then", Leaf said.
"Nights", Gary replied, and leaned to kiss her once more.
"See ya tomorrow", Gary said and let go her hand and went to his own room.
"Yeah", Leaf said and entered to hers.
...
Next morning they came down and saw a group in white jackets in the middle of Center's hall. Gary recognized them as Professor Rowan's group. Just when they reached them, Professor himself noticed Gary.
"Gary! There you are. Nice to see you again", he said and shook hands with him.
"Yeah, same here", Gary said. Leaf stayed bit behind. "Oh yeah", Gary pulled her forward, "this is Leaf."
"Oh yes, I think I remember you, you came to upload your pokédex to my lab not too long ago", Rowan said and shook her hand too.
"Yeah", Leaf smiled shyly.
"Didn't think you two would be friends. World is small place", Rowan laughed. Gary and Leaf looked at each others and then laughed. Friends… yeah.
After few hours Gary and Leaf made their way towards edge of the city.
"Too bad you have to leave already", Gary said.
"Yeah. But time flies, have to became the Champion", Leaf laughed.
Gary chuckled. "Well, I'll cheer for you."
"Thanks. You work hard too."
"I will", Gary said and kissed her. Leaf kissed back.
"Well, I guess I have to go", she said when they separated. Gary nodded but only unwillingly let her go. They stared each others for a while.
"Oh gee, one more", Leaf said and jumped into Gary's neck and pressed her lips on his.
"Okay go now or soon I won't let you go", Gary laughed after pulling back. Leaf giggled.
"Okay, okay", she let him go, "see ya."
"Yeah, bye."
Leaf turned around and left on the road. Gary watched after her for a while, and then he also turned and went back to Pokémon Center.
The end. How did you like it? I kinda liked wirting that their confession-part x3 and the prison-part.
Next I could write that contestshipping sinnoh-fic. Dunno when though, but wait patiently.
