I'm sorry for the VERY long wait for the next update! ^_^ I've had SO MUCH writer's block that I thought my brain would shut down and explode! _ Anyways...since it's summer now, I've decided to get a new chapter for this one! *does an anime style fist pump*

Last time, after beating Opaque town's gym leader, our trio journeys into Azurill Well, to battle team Quantum Executive, Slash, and take the well back from them. After succesfully beating the Executive, Nicole, April and Veronica meet one of the Demistars. His name was Dylan Riddles, and since the Executive fell, he was freed. Now, as we rejion them, he has just finished explaining how the Shiny Poke'balls worked.

Present Time

"...then you just let the Poke'mon out, and..." Dylan released the former pink and black Azurill, which was now blue and white again.

"That's amazing!" she chirped, eyes widened like a little fan-girl.

Nicole fake yawned and streached her arms. She held back a huge laughter that had begun to slip out.

"Seriously, April?" Veronica yelled, hands up in the air.

April looked at the black haired girl and cocked her head sideways. "What...?"

Veronica looked so mad, veins were throbbed on her head, and her was was cherry red.

"He showed you...seven...fricken'...times...!" She answered through gritted teeth.

"Y-Yeah..." Nicole said, getting a bit frightened by Veronica's temper, "...w-we need to head for...B-Bloom City...b-before night falls..." she manadged to squeak out.

April rolled her eyes. "Alright...let's go!"

April, Veronica and Nicole began to leave the cave, but were stopped by the former Demistar.

"Uh...hey!" he called out, gaining the trio's attention.

"What?" Veronica spat, not really liking this boy's company.

Nicole just eyed Dylan suspicously. April's face said she was highly confused.

"Can I uh...travel with you guys...?" Dylan looked a bit nervous as he spoke.

"What the hell, dude? We barley even know you!" Veronica crossed her arms in anger, liking this guy less and less.

April shrugged, "...I think three is just enough for us right now. Sorry, Dylan. We can keep in touch though, here!" The girl quickly wrote down her number and gave it to the sad boy.

He quickly perked up, happy that she was nice.

"Thanks for saving our lives..." Nicole said, checking her bronze colored Poke'gear, "...we have to head to Bloom City. Since we haven't been through most of the towns yet, we can't just fly to Destiny Lake right away..."

"Desinty Lake...? What's that?" April questioned, finger on her chin.

"Hm...I believe Destiny Lake is mentioned in legends..." Dylan recalled trying to remember.

"OH! It's an area sacred to the Colornaut region, where...in the legends, it is said that if you have a pure heart of no evil, you can summon the time traveler, Celebi!" The green-haired boy said, looking quite pleased with himself.

"RIght...well let's all get going before Mr Know-It-All here inlights us with more 'wisdom'." the raven-haired girl scoffed, putting air quotes around the word wisdom.

Maybe that's why they won't let me join...Because they don't want Veronica to be mean to me...

"I guess we'll cross paths again one of these days..." April had a bit of a sad tone in her voice as she hugged her new friend.

"Bye, Dylan! See you later!" Nicole waved and began to leave.

"Nice knowing you...I guess..." Veronica said, following Nicole.

"Thanks for saving out lives...if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me, k?"

For the first time since Dylan met this girl, she looked truly serious.

He nodded. "Alright, April...I will take ca-"

Before he could finish speaking, April planted a kiss on his check and ran off to join her friends. Dylan's hand touched the place where she kissed him. He just stood there long after the trio had left.

"B-Bye..."

Four hours later...

The sky had darkened by the time the three trainers entered Bloom City. The stars twinkled above like thousands of little Illumise lighting up all at once. In this town, the sky was completely clear, not a cloud in the sky. All could see the full moon that shone ahead. Bloom City had beautiful houses, colored tan with dark brown trim. Each house was a different shape and story. Little lanterns illuminated the houses, casting an errie, but calming glow upon the entire city.

"Wow..." April beamed, "...it's so beautiful out here!" She sighed dreamily, taking in the comferting aura that surrounded her.

"You're right...I could stand here forever!" Nicole span around just because she was in the mood.

Veronica sighed, "...I guess. I just don't see what's so pretty about it."

April raised an eyebrow at her. "You never enjoy anything, do you?"

"Almost anything..." She mumbled under her breath and looked down as she walked.

"Anyway..." April started, trying to break the silence, "...we should turn in soon. You see a hotel...?"

"No, but I see someone by that fountain over there!" Nicole pointed, gaining April's attention.

April looked over, seeing a boy sitting on the gray fountain. She couldn't see the boy yet, but could tell the fountain was gray, with a sculpture of Celebi on it, spitting the water out. As the trio neared the mysterious boy, she could see him fully now. He faced away from the group, his feet in the water. He looked around fifthteen with actual purple hair. He didn't seem to notice the three, on the count of huge, black and purple DJ headphones on, which he was currently listening to. Each played rock, paper,siccors to figure out who would talk to him. Nicole lost.

"Alright...I'll do it!" she whispered, walking slowly up to the boy.

Nicole tucked a piece of blackish-purple hair behind her ear and tapped the boy on the shoulder. He flinched slightly, not expecting it. The purple haired boy swong around to face them, his feet now out of the water. Seeing the three girls, he removed his headphones. His eyes could now be seen, which were revealed to be a startling deep purple.

"Can I help you?" he asked flatly.

"Yeah...my friends and I were looking for a place to stay for tonight. Do you know of a nearby hotel we can stay at?" Nicole asked, a bit worried.

"Of course, you must've come here for the first time. You three are in luck because my family owns the hotel business around here. My name's Tyran Frostman."

Tyran wore a black and red T-shirt with Slaking on the front, black fingerless gloves with Snorlax on the back of each one, black cargo pants, and red and black sneakers.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Nicole Firebird!"

"April Whitestorm, at your service!" she shook his hand, almost not wanting to let go.

"Veronica Stone..." she nodded at him insted of shaking his hand.

"Well...if you would please follow me to the hotel I'm sure we'll have you a room in no time."

Frostman Bloom Hotel

Nicole, April and Veronica looked up at the hotel in awe. It was three stories tall, dark brown, and had sliding doors like a traditional Japanese place.

"It has a hotspring too, if you're stressed..." Tyran explained, sliding the door.

The three walked in to the front desk, where a woman stood. She had pretty blonde hair and dark purple eyes.

"This is my Mom, Larrise Frostman."

"Hello," she gretted, "...needing a room?"

"Yes ma'am, " April replied politely, "...a room for three."

"Of course, just let me register you in. What's your names?"

"April Whitestorm."

"Nicole Firebrid!"

"Veronica Stone..."

"Alright, all registered, that would be sixty dollars please..."

"Um...I..." April stuttered nervously, searching her pockets.

Nicole pulled out her pants pockets, revealing no money. Veronica shook her head, saying she had none.

"Well, if you have no money, then I'm afraid-"

"I'll pay for it, Mom!" Tyran cut in quickly.

"Alright Tyran...are you sure?"

"Yeah!" He had made up his mind, handing his mother sixty dollars.

"Alright, you three...room one." Larrise said, handing April the key.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Nicole and April said in unison.

Veronica just rolled her eyes.

"May I take your luggage, miss?" Tyran played, smiling at April and grabbing her white bag.

"Why, yes you may!" She played along, smiling as well.

"Aw, that's so thoughtful!" Nicole sighed, hands on her heart.

"Yeah...whatever..." Veronica crossed her arms, following the three into the first room.

Room 1

The girls' hotel room hat three seperate beds with different coloring. The first was red, the second blue, and the third green. The blue and green had swirls of flowers and trees, as the red one had a siloette of a Dragonair on it. A dresser stood beside each bed, each with a lamp and fancy lamp shade on it. In the front of the room sat a large, flatscreen TV, beside that stood a Poke'shelf.

"Finally!" Nicole cried, putting her Poke'balls onto the Poke'shelf.

April slowly walked over, set her bag down, and put her Poke'balls up onto the machine. Veronica's face showed no emotion as she followed suit.

"Well, I hope you guys like your room! In the morning, come into the lobby for breakfast! I'm not only the Bellhop, but also the chef!" With that, he left the three girls alone.

"I call the green one!" Nicole chirped out, landing face first in her bed.

"The blue one's mine!" April cried, seising her's as well.

Veronica sighed and lie down on the last avaliable red bed, and got in between the covers. After the trio was settled, all of them fell asleep.
