Hello once again everyone, this is another upload and I hope you enjoy.

As Brian sat quietly in the booth of an old coffee shop, he stared off into space while stirring his small cup of coffee. "There isn't anything I can do anymore," he said to himself, "Could I ever get her back?" He earned himself a few stares from the other people in the building so he began thinking to himself.
However, someone decided to interrupt him. "You," the figure spoke up to Brian, "You want answers, correct?"
Brian looked up and his green eyes instantly had a fire of hatred in them as the figure took a seat across from him. It took Brian a lot of strength to keep a calm composure. The familiar carefully combed honey brown hair, dark brown eyes that could care less, and of course, that expensive dark blue suit could only belong to the one person in the city that could afford them.
Sean stared at Brian quietly before speaking up, "The only reason why she and I are getting married are only for social status. There are no feelings, I wouldn't mind if she was seeing you behind my back, but I am simply not allowed to let you see her."
"And just why not?" Brian said with a bit of fury.
"That is something you must discuss with Drake. That man, he has many secrets in his mind. And of course, he knows much more than you think."
"You think I don't know that?" Brian said without a second thought.
Sean simply huffed, rubbing his temples. "Listen, do you or do you not, want to get that girl back? I for one would gladly not marry her."
"You make it sound like there's someone else in your eyes."
Sean had a hard time keeping his face from becoming hot. "So? You wouldn't understand."
"Oh I wouldn't understand? You mean to tell me that I wouldn't understand being away from the one person I love because of a stupid man getting in the way?"
The brunette man did not speak a word; he simply stood up and left. Brian sighed deeply, his head in between his hands as he stared at the yellow table. His green eyes shifted up and he saw a folded piece of paper. Opening it, Brian said what was written in his head.
'Talk to that girl's brother. Have fun getting all the real secrets out.'
It was without a doubt left there by Sean Versailles and Brian was slightly confused. What did he mean by real secrets? Are some of the secrets false? Lies? Did everything he knew about Cross nothing but tales? He really had to get to the bottom of this.
Drake sat in his book-filled room, admiring the world he could see outside. The sun was shining as it usually did and he could hear the birds calling out their respective language. All in all, it was such a peaceful day.
David came knocked on the large door and opened it. "Someone is here to see you."
"Who is it? I haven't had any scheduled appointments arranged?"
"It is that boy, sir, the one who had a past with the young mistress."
Drake scowled, why was he here of all times?
The thought didn't stop him from going downstairs and seeing just why he came to visit. "Brian, it certainly is a surprise to see you. What brings you here?"
Brian shot daggers at Drake with his eyes before replying. "I'm here for answers."
"Answers, answers. What a word, I think you mean that you want the truth?"
"Whichever, I want to know why is she marrying him? And why you won't ever let us be together? What are your secrets, Drake?"
"I won't go easy on you and I definitely won't hold myself back. But I'll only tell you what happened if you defeat me."
Brian grinned, knowing a stuck up man like Drake would be strong enough to beat him would be a complete joke. "Gladly," Brian had a small smirk.
David let the two men outside, pressing a button on a small platform. Out came a large stadium, it was simple, made out of concrete and had the usual regulation white marks on it.
David took a stand at the middle and raised two flags. "The rules are simple." He said loud enough for both to hear, "One Pokemon, no time limit, no items, no cheating." He swung the two flags down and the battle commenced.
Brian had chosen his Sneasel, Sel. The dark-ice type came out and stood on her two legs, unleashed her deadly claws that shone in the sunlight, she had straightened out the small red feather on top of her head. Yellow piercing eyes glaring at Drake.
Drake had chosen what he thought would be a perfect match against Brian, his Lucario. The blue-black coloured jackal-like creature stood up front, his red eyes were already analyzing his opponent, black ears twitching slightly but he had a calm stance.
"Get in there, Sel."
Brian's Sneasel charged forward, claws ready to slice. Drake's Lucario, on the other, only shifted into a fighting stance.
"Relax, Lucario." Drake said simply.
Brian couldn't understand why they weren't attacking. "Use Slash!"
Sel's claws glowed white before being raised slightly behind her. She brought them down quick in the blink of an eye.
However, Sel was stopped and did not even lay a mark on the bipedal Pokemon. Lucario had summoned up a bone made of strong energy to stop Sel's attack, it simply held the bone up, defending itself without even using much strength.
"Aura Sphere." Drake called out.
With the other paw, Lucario drew up a light blue sphere, shining with aura and launched it straight at Sel.
Sel was damaged more than she thought due to the close proximity and fell to the ground. Lucario stood back in its original fighting stance, the bone disappearing.
Sel stood back up, blew an Icy Wind that Lucario easily dodged. The ground became frozen but Lucario easily balanced.
"Tough," Brian said to himself.
"Give it up, you can't win," Drake called out.
Giving up was the last thing on Brian's mind and his Sneasel got up, panting heavily. With all that she could muster up, Sel quickly slid across the ice with professional skill, skating around Drake's Lucario.
Sel had used Dark Pulse once she got behind Lucario. Dark purple circles shot out from Sel's palms.
"Dodge it."
Lucario effortlessly pushed off from the ice, dodging and skating at the same rate as Sel.
"How about a game of hockey?" Drake asked. His Lucario once again conjured up another bone and a small Aura Sphere, dropping it on the ground and hitting it with the bone.
"Sne!" Sel yelped, dodging the attack just in time.
That did not stop Lucario at all as he continued throwing attacks.
Sel got slower and got hit more, Brian couldn't stand watching his Pokemon get hurt and called her back, gritting his teeth.
Drake returned his Pokemon into its ball and thanked it for a job well done.
"I still want to know at least one thing, even if I did lose this match."
Drake felt giving and he nodded. "One thing only."
"Why won't you let me be with her?"
There was desperation for an answer in Brian's eyes. "Money purposes."
"You and I both know full well there's more than that, Drake. Now tell me why!"
"Why? To put it simple, you're killing her!"
"That's impossible!" Brian stomped as he came face-to-face with Drake. "I love her, love can't kill."
"That love of yours is what messed her up in the first place; if it weren't for you then our mother would have been alive! Our father and I wouldn't have been framed either!"
"What do you mean?"
"You think you know everything." Drake balled up his fists. "All you know is an alternate beginning, and you'll end up with an alternate ending. You won't get the truth form her, but I doubt you'll get it out of me."
Drake walked off back into the house, slamming the door behind him.
Brian was escorted out by David. The platinum blond haired butler handed Brian a slip of paper before leaving.
Coming down the stairs, Cross carefully skipped down the steps, her Vap and Drifloon, Windy, were following behind her. "David!" She exclaimed. "What was with that battle? I didn't think Brian would lose to Kuya so easily."
David smiled at the young girl. "They were simply sparring, madam. Why don't you go and get your clothes picked out for tonight's gala?"
Cross groaned. "But those parties are so boring. It's just a room full of adults who talk about business. Why don't they just have a conference in some old meeting room like they usually do?"
"Madam, please. It is for your future and the future of the next generations."
"You know, I would love to live in a small country, not too far away from a town or city. Just my family and our Pokemon. Does that not sound wonderful, David?"
David sighed and only nodded before the young girl went upstairs. 'David is such a liar, there was a reason because Kuya just hates Brian for some reason! I am so going to get down to the bottom of this!'
Skyala and Mason were watching T.V.; nothing interesting was on so they simply commented on whatever was being shown.
"I like that dress, I wonder where they find some of those nice clothes." Skyala said.
"I heard that they have someone in the back making those clothes when they are not able to find exactly what they needed."
"It makes sense." Skyala shifted closer, leaning her head on Mason's chest. She knew that Mason would get heated up easier than a young boy just starting puberty. She giggled and stood up.
"We're both adults, so let's act like some." She winked slyly at Mason who blushed heavily as he was led to his bedroom.
Stacy was right outside Mason's bedroom window with Annie and Sky. "Stupid rookies," she whispered to the two, "It doesn't matter if your windows are closed and your blind are slightly opened."
Stacy positioned the camera so it could record hat was going inside the bedroom without being spotted. They could faintly hear what was going on and kept the tape rolling.
When they finished, Sky spoke up, "I know the perfect place to show this to so they won't ever be together." He smirked and left it inside a certain person's mailbox.
Kain was hard at work; he put on a thin, yellow headband to keep his hair out of his eyes as he tried his best to get a doll right. He had been given countless lessons but he still could not get the perfect shape. His results would come out as rough despite him using the sandpaper multiple times.
The shop owner sighed and sat beside him. "Are you sure you still want to do this?" She asked.
Kain only nodded.
"Then think about who you are making these for."
"My girlfriend?"
"I was thinking more of paying customers, but sure. Now keep her mind and you are sure to make a perfect doll."
Kain worked on a new one. He carved out a rough shape and smoothed it out, he then carved out what would be the collar of the clothing and used a gouge to make small flower petals.
Kain took a small brush and began painting the hair a vibrant red; he let it dry and began painting the bottom blue and made it so the shade of blue got lighter as it went up the body of the doll.
The flowers were painted a light pink and the face was done. He finished with a type of gloss to protect the wood and give the doll a beautiful shine.
"I did it!" Kain exclaimed, he panted with a smile on his face. "Boss! I did it!"
"Congrats, now you can keep it for free but you're still working for me."
Kain nodded and picked up his coat, walking home and smiling the whole time as he stared at the doll. He wrapped it up and hid it in his closet shelf before going to sleep.
Maikee and Eric were heading to the diner; their small talk mostly consisted of education and such things.
"So Maikee, I was wondering."
"Yes?"
"Well, how can I put this? You're a pretty cool girl and you're really pretty too, plus I like your personality so I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me."
"Jeez, I don't know."
"Why? Is there someone else you like? Is it that guy from the other day?"
"Tyron is my closest guy friend. I don't think I even want to go out."
"Please Maikee, give me a chance. I promise I'll make you happy."
"I could try, but just know that one slip up and we are done."
Eric smiled and that made Maikee blush slightly at his twinkling blue eyes. When they got up to the diner, the boss came out. "How are my two love birds?" She asked happily. "Don't hurt my little boy, Maikee. And Eric, don't you dare hurt her!"
Maikee felt slightly uncomfortable, 'Was this a good idea? I wonder what Tyron would think.' Maikee thought to herself.
I'm sorry if there isn't much going on in this chapter for you, it's more like a filler. I didn't have many ideas but then again I couldn't let the people who read this wait very long.
Once again, please don't flame and I hope you enjoyed it.
