*~Pokemon X and Y~*
Chapter 7: A Frappant Aura
G: Calem was at the very end...and he is in this chapter! ;)
23StellaOrgana: That WOULD be very interesting... *Winks* But I've got some plans for Ash in my other fanfictions that connect to this one so...all will be revealed in the other ones! ^.^
Guest: I will!
Thanks for the reviews everyone. I enjoy reading them. (A lot.)
Random thing: I finally got around to catching Mewtwo in Pokemon X, and I used an Ultra Ball...it was kinda easy. O.o
Also, I have a new profile picture! Anyone like it? Anyone? Lol. ;P
Now, continue reading! ^w^
"It's you..." I say.
"Yes, it is!" the brunette replies. "But you shouldn't call me 'You' anymore if you want that hat back."
I sigh. "Then what do I call you?"
"How about X? That is my middle name!"
"Your middle name is X?" I ask.
"Of course," 'X' says. "Reminds you of that guy from Unova, eh?"
I cross my arms. "Yes. I heard about the Team Plasma incident two and a half years ago."
"Yes! That one girl who stopped Team Plasma has apparently gone missing, and is presumed dead."
"Do you think she's dead?" I ask, keeping a neutral position in the conversation.
"Who knows," 'X' says with a grin. "People say her ghost appeared in Sinnoh during that incident."
I look at the ground, putting a hand to my chin. "Is it odd to you, that so many 'evil teams' appeared during that time?" I wonder. "Team Plasma...Team Galactic..."
"Team Rocket 6 years ago, Neo Team Rocket half a year later, then Team Plasma and Galactic before Team Aqua/Magma arrived just a few months later."
"Then Team Rocket tried to come back..." I murmur, finishing his sentence. "And now..there's a team of bad guys here who have a flame insignia."
'X' suddenly blanches. "Ah...umm, yeah...-"
I look up and squint at him. "What?"
"Err...anyway!" he says, changing the subject. "If you don't like calling me X, you could call me Xavier."
"Xavier is better," I comment, wondering why he suddenly started acting weird when I mentioned our current Team of villains.
Xavier nods. "Alright, Xavier it is! But you've still gotta guess my real name!" he says, and holds up the hat I'd tried to buy in Santalune.
"You rappeler me of Rumpelstiltskin," I note.
"What does rapp-hey! I'm not an ugly and tiny man who is obsessed with babies you know!"
I raise an eyebrow. "You aren't?" I inquire loftily.
Xavier purses his lips, and frowns before snatching my wrist and slamming me against the wall next to an alleyway. "I am not-!"
"Hey!" someone shouts, and I turn to see Ash. He's giving Xavier a fuming glare. "You'd better-!"
"Froakie, use Water Pulse," I say, and my Pokemon blasts Xavier back a few feet. Ash is shocked, his anger evaporating, and stares.
"I can take care of myself," I tell Ash.
He rubs the back of his head. "Ah..okay. With the way you acted just now, it kinda reminds me of Misty!" he says. "But..I just got all defensive when I saw him do that. You are like a little sister after all."
"Vrai." I shrug, and return Froakie before heading over to Xavier who looks pretty pissed off. Holding out my hand, I pull him to his feet.
"I'm going to head out now," I say. "Tell the others. Au revoir, Ash."
Ash looks after me. "Ah...okay? Bye Serè..."
"Don't call me that," I point out over my shoulder as I walk away; Ash still looks utterly confused.
"I'm not done talking with you!" Xavier snaps, and follows me.
"Are you going to Camphrier ville?" I inquire.
"Ah...yes?" he replies.
"Then I guess you are permis to accompagner me," I say.
Xavier shoves his hands in his pockets and glares back in Ash's direction. "Who is that guy anyway...?" he mutters. I ignore him, as we walk down the street towards the gate that leads to Route 5. I rummage around in my bag as we step onto the grass of Versant Road, when something suddenly dashes towards me, and Xavier knocks me to the side before I'm run over by it. "Watch out!"
Pushing himself off of me, Xavier looks away, red faced, and I get to my feet.
A girl on skates rolls over to us with another Pokemon. "I'm so sorry!" she says. "Lucario just suddenly ran off..."
The Lucario stands by me, staring intensely; I look right back at it, unwavering; it begins walking around me.
Another figure walks over to stand by the girl on skates. I glance over to see that she is wearing a fancy suit as if she were aristocracy, black hair, and startling platinum colored eyes. She rests her hands on a obsidian cane with a golden handle. "I wouldn't mind if you slowed down a bit," she said, her accent thick.
The other girl sweatdrops. "Sorry!" she says, then turns back to me and the Lucario walking around in circles. "I was doing some special training with my Lucario here when this one just suddenly ran off! So what's up Lucario? Does this girl's aura mean something to you?"
The Lucario near me nods in affirmation.
The girl with the cane steps forward, her ancient looking eyes staring into mine; she seems to have knowledge that others don't know hidden behind those dark spheres. "Lucario is right," she says. "Your aura..."
Setting down her cane, she shrugs off her black backpack and pulls out an egg. Standing up, she looks at the Lucario next to me. "Are you sure about this?" she asks, and it nods again. The girl looks at me again, and holds out the egg. "Then I believe this is yours."
I take it, and stare at the blue hued egg.
"I obtained that a long time ago," the girl says, "and I believe that it has been waiting to hatch for the right trainer."
Xavier looks between the girl and I. "Am I missing something?" he asks. "You aren't making sense."
"You see," the teen on skates says. "Lucario can see people's auras, and it thinks that this girl here is special."
Xavier crosses his arms. "I know that."
The girl giggles. "Then why did you ask?" Xavier grumbles to himself.
"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself!" she exclaims. "I'm Korrina, Shalour Gym Leader."
"I am Serena," I reply.
"Xavier..." comes a mumble.
"This is..." Korrina starts. "Umm..."
"Call me Dawn," the girl says.
"Err...right, Dawn," Korrina says, biting her lip. The Both the Lucario that came with the Korrina stare at me, before they look at each other and nod.
"Looks to me like these two want to battle you," the Gym Leader says, putting her hands on her hips. "Well, once you train up that Pokemon that is in the egg, I'm sure we'll have a battle!" She turns to her friend. "I'll be slower this time, and I'm sorry for rushing you Pla-...Dawn."
The raven haired girl nods, pulls her backpack on before picking up her cane, and following the gym leader; something silver flashes on her wrist, and I blink at the brightness.
What was that?
"Bye Serena!" comes the cheerful farewell from Korrina. There's a pause as the two disappear, before Xavier and I stare at the egg in my hand.
"What,...are you gonna do with that?" he asks. I shrug, and put it in my bag before zipping it shut.
"I can't believe we walked one step onto Route 5 and were almost mauled by a fighting type," Xavier says.
"We were not," I correct. "It just ran at us."
"It was gonna trample you!" Xavier snaps.
"I can take care of myself," I reply.
"But you weren't looking when it came!"
I give him a look. "Your point?"
Xavier opens his mouth, and tries coming up with an answer for a little bit as I start walking. "Uh-umm..aren't you afraid of being trampled!?"
I freeze in mid-step.
"Aha! You are, aren't you!" he says. "Then-"
"Tais-toi," I say coldly. "Vous morceau de merde."
Xavier frowns, and follows me as I walk away, feeling something heavy in my heart.

Piece of crap - Vous morceau de merde. (And NOOOOOO. Merde does NOT mean "shit" in the sentence I wrote. At least...it's not supposed too.)
...
Anyway...yes, there are a lot of secrets I put in this chapter. It is up to you if you find them or not. (Though you won't learn much from this fanfic alone.) Because my other stories have what is only mentioned in this one. (Such as my Black and White.)
And yes, Platinum/Dawn did make an appearance in this fanfic. Wonder why she's here? Ha. You'll have to wait and see. ;)
White/Touko has a big part in all my connected fanfics, so her story is very important. ;) *Wink wink*
As well as Team Rocket and all the other main game stories I wrote! xD (Because I'm having their characters tie into this one.)
Tell me what you thought!
~Review~
I love hearing feedback. :)
