A Tale of Gym Leaders

Chapter 10: That Moment in Life

For Falkner and Skyla that night of first having sex was the best night in their young lives so far. In the morning upon waking up and after she took another pill, they were off to the shower for more sex. It was like that for Volkner and Elesa. Now it had become some time since the love making had happened for the two couples as well as for those two Trainers marrying. While the married couple still lived by Nicholas and Corrine's castle home, the four Gym Leaders had sadly not been able to. This hadn't been any trouble for their relationship. They were able to visit the other quite a lot which helped. Every time they would see the other they would run up and hug the other tightly, having missed the other so much. It was similar to their main Pokémon that were mates. And of course, their Trainers would always at night hit the bed together to make love.

However, it wasn't until about a couple of years latter of doing this when the Trainers living nearby Nicholas and Corrine's place had a son, that Falkner was visiting Skyla in Unova where her Gym was. And this time he knew things were going to be very different. He had met her grandfather by this point and the older man was happy that his granddaughter had found such a nice young man to be with her. And now it found the two of them at her home city of Mistralton. The two Gym Leaders themselves were on top of her Gym roof very much like when they had done the same for his before sharing their first kiss. "You okay honey?" he asked to her since she had been quiet.

"Oh, I'm just thinking about my friend Elesa a little," she replied. "She's gone to where Volkner is in his home region to visit him." Skyla then looked up at him. "But that's nothing to what I'm thinking about right now."

"And what would that be?'

"Oh I think you know babe," the female told her guy and kissed him on the cheek. "Being like this on a warm summer's night makes me think of that first kiss we had."

"I remember it so well. I remember the outfit you had on even then," the male said to his girl.

"You still remember that?"

"How could I not?" The couple let out a small laugh.

"You know Skyla… I've been thinking some things over lately about my life."

"What kind of things?"

Falkner looked up to the night sky. "After visiting this Region so many times and especially this city, it's all grown on me. I mean I won't forget where I came from. But… I'm actually thinking… maybe it's time I come here and actually live here instead."

"Wait… you mean…?" Skyla asked, not wanting to believe it.

"Skyla…" The male stood up, bringing her up with him. "I love you more than any other person in the world. I know it's the same for our Pokémon loving the other as mates. But in the long run, us visiting the other like this won't work. Which is why I've decided to leave Johto to be with you. But there are other reasons. Our Pokémon if they ever want to have kids will need to be with each other. And… I know what else I want in my heart besides being with you is that I want it to be more than what we have."

"Oh? Am I'm getting a more dashing side to you?" Skyla began to giggle and broke out of her boyfriend's hands to hug him.

"Hey!" he stated to his girlfriend. "I'm being serious here!"

"I'm just happy you would make that sacrifice for me. To leave everything you know behind to be with me."

"It's more than that." The two came apart. "Because there's something I need to give to you now…" He pulled out what looked to be a regular Pokeball.

"Wait… is that a new Pokémon for me?"

"No… but what I want us to be." The male Gym Leader opened it and she saw on the inside that it was a case with a beautiful diamond ring with sapphires that went with her eyes.

Falkner smiled. "It's my way… of getting you."

Her eyes began to water with tears of happiness as the male held out the Pokeball case with the ring. "Skyla… I'm moving to not only be with you… but also to run this Gym together with you as my bride. Will you marry me?" For some seconds, the two were standing there as she took in his words.

Skyla saw the ring and knew what her guy was doing. The female looked into his eyes after wiping her eyes with a smile before throwing her arms around Falkner with a scream. "OH ARCEUS; YES!" she cried. "Of course I'll marry you!" The male just hugged her back smiling as he felt his girl kiss him over and over. He went ahead and slid the ring on her finger, a sign of the two being engaged. Falkner just took Skyla home where in that moment she attacked him, the two then making love for what seemed like hours.

Meanwhile while Falkner had been proposing to Skyla, it found Volkner and Elesa together. He had been thinking and knew things had to change, and hopefully for the best for him and Elesa. The male knew this going back and forth in the long run would eventually led the relationship to ruin. But he had a plan and was hopping Elesa would go for it. Right now it was a warm, clear night with him on the roof of his gym which reminded him so much of that one night where he and his girl had shared that first kiss, becoming a couple. "Volkner?" she asked as she was sitting next to him. The male didn't answer. Elesa kissed his cheek. "Honey, is everything alright?"

"Sorry, just thinking love," he replied. Volkner looked to her with a smile. "Just about us really."

"Is that all?" Elesa got a smile and leaned up to get closer to his face.

"Maybe," her guy answered kissing the female's forehead. She sighed happily and snuggled into his side.

"I thought my home city was beautiful, but this is as well."

"So… you're saying if you could you'd live here?" This was giving Volkner hope.

"It has a beach which my city doesn't have. Plus it has you to. It might not have as much entertainment but sometimes if it's all you've known, it can kinda wear off on you. I guess what I'm saying is… Maybe I want the quitter life. Not like the country, but a less bustling city."

"Elesa… are you…?" he asked.

"Yes…" she replied. "I'm thinking… of moving here to be with you. Not just to expand my modeling career but mostly to live here in this city by your side."

Volkner just hugged her in response, standing both up at the same time. "Volkner!" Elesa giggled, not expecting this from him.

"I'm sorry, it's just I'm so happy to hear that from you," he stated. "I never thought you'd make the sacrifice to leave all you know to be with me. I thought I would have to be the one."

"I love you," she said. "I love you more than any other person in the world. No other man will have my heart." The two pulled back and the female smiled at her boyfriend. "I mean yes, I'm going to miss my friend Skyla. I know she won't be leaving Unova. But I'm not like her. Besides even if she's a Gym Leader, she a pilot and can come here anytime she wants. I don't mind. Besides who said it was the man who needed to make some sacrifices? A woman can as well for the one she loves."

His took a step back from his girlfriend. "Then I don't need to worry anymore tonight. Because… I realized before you said that, there had to be a change. Now that I know you want to live with me here… I don't see why now isn't a better time to ask you this. So… I guess this means I've got you." The male whipped out a Pokeball and opened it to reveal a diamond ring in it.

Elesa's hands went to her mouth, looking up him with tears of happiness beginning to form in her eyes as she knew what he was doing. "Elesa… will you stay at my side in my Gym as my wife by marrying me?" he asked. For some seconds they just stood there as she took his words in.

Elesa just threw her arms around Volkner, kissing his cheek with love before hugging him hard, finding his lips. He was surprised by her actions, but pleased. The two then pulled back with her smiling, the happiest the male had seen her. "Oh Volkner… of course I will!" Elesa replied hugging him again.

The male slid the ring on her finger, showing the status they now had as a couple. They went back to his place, hitting his bed to make love long into the night.

All four wasted no time in letting people know about the wedding. But Falkner and Skyla wanted their wedding to be held in Unova since Undella Town's beach was a perfect place. Due to it being summer even though more people would be there, that wouldn't be a problem. Skyla called up her friend Elesa to ask of being a bride's maid only to find out there was a surprise. The second female answered after the first ring. "Elesa!" Skyla stated. She also appeared to be very happy as well.

"Hey there," the first female said. "So listen, I've got the most wonderful news!"

"I do to! I was plaining on calling you but it seems you were faster than me!"

"Really? Why?"

Skyla held up her left ring finger and Elesa couldn't help but gasp. "You mean…?"

"Yep!" the second female stated with a big grin. "Falkner proposed to me! I'm getting married and I want you to be my bride's maid at it!"

"I'd love to! When did he do it?!" Skyla stated the date. "But that's…"

"What's wrong?" Elesa began to laugh.

"I'm sorry… it's just funny. Because… the same thing's happened to me on the same night as you." She held up her left hand and Skyla got it.

"No!" the second female said and began to laugh with her friend.

"Yeah! Volkner proposed to me to!" They two really began to laugh hard. They were able to calm down after a minute.

"I'm so happy for you!" Skyla stated. "Will he come to Unova?"

"Well… no. I'm going to move to be with him actually. It wasn't an easy choice but it's what I want."

"I understand. Falkner was like that to be with me. I won't see you as often but I know we can still see each other. So then I guess since you'll do that for me during my wedding, I should be your bride's maid at yours huh?"

"I would want nothing more than that for you. Who will do the vows?"

"Nicholas will. He and Corrine will be coming to this. I've also seen if Maria and N can. They were delighted and agreed to along with brining their son."

"Then I guess it won't be a problem if I tell all of them as well," Elesa said.

"I'm sure they'll love to come as well and for him to do your vows to!" Skyla stated. They then figured out that Skyla and Falkner would go first since Elesa needed to come back to get some stuff from her Region. She would be leaving to be with Volkner in Sinnoh after marrying.

While Skyla knew she wouldn't be able to see her friend as much, there was the World Tournament and planes to make seeing the other possible. Once the wedding for the Flying Gym Leaders was finished, everyone would be heading to Sunyshore City since the beach front there would be perfect for the wedding of Volkner and Elesa. When tell those four to coming to this, all of them were fine with it. The days then came with heading and preparing for this event. Elesa was soon back and helping Skyla out in every way for her wedding while also packing up things to move to Sunyshore. Even Pidgeot and Swanna were happy and ready for this. The time spent was three weeks and it seemed to fly by. They also did so at the same time for the Electric Type Gym Leader by getting her wedding dress as well. She and Volkner also talked as well by video phone as he got things set up for their wedding back in his Region. The two females laughed and shared many memories of their friendship, hoping the other the best in life.

Author's notes: So this is short because of what comes yes. And yes, it's a little short but there's not much left. Also Maria is the name of an Oc character from another fan fiction that I loved reading about and N is the N from Black and White.
