Only now did I realize that I didn't put a disclaimer notice on chapters 1 and 2. Anyways, it's my birthday, so I'll be uploading the next chapter maybe a 30 minutes or so, later.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.

Fall

In the plane, there was an awkward situation. Hilbert saw Skyla in spandex some time ago and he didn't want to talk about it. All the while, Skyla was peppering questions to him. He was blocking his mind out for fear of looking at her.

Then, in order to snap him out of his mind-block, Skyla kissed him on the cheek. In a slip that Freud would have been proud of, Hilbert blurted out Hilda. To his embarrassment…

"Nope, it's Skyla!", the redhead beamed, knowing that Hilbert finally was broken out of his unresponsiveness.

"Say, what happened between you and Hilda, she's league champ, right?"

"Was. She left her post, not much of a trail left by her. So I went from the Pokemon League, hearing about the news, to where I am now."

"She's missing?"

"I'm afraid so, that's why I'm looking for her. If it takes me back to Nuvema, I shall follow it!"

"She must be mighty lucky to have a friend like you. Anyways, why were you blacking out on me earlier?"

"I passed through Undella Town and went into Cynthia's house. I saw you girls… doing something… which required spandex… and foam darts… I felt very embarrassed. Sorry about that."

Then Skyla pulled him into a hug.

"It's okay. Now I know why you were blocking me earlier. You wanted to keep faithful to Hilda, and seeing the entire thing unfold…well… next time, I suggest you knock."

"Is this an attempt to give sympathy? I understand. But how did you find out, and why do I feel tears?"

"This is just like a romance novel I've been reading! A girl suddenly disappears, and then her best friend goes to search for her around the region! Hilda's so lucky to have a boyfriend like you!It's so cliché, yet so… romantic. I'm not crying tears of sorrow, but tears of joy to see that there are still stories like that. "

After that emotional outburst, they landed in Mistralton.

"Hey, when you find her, say hi for me!"

"I will! Bye! And thanks for the flight!"

Skyla looked at Hilbert running to Driftveil, and shouted "I know you could find her! Go for it!"

As she walked back to the gym, she felt the fall breeze.
