Luna: Yeaaa..., last chapter was a dream if you didn't quite catch that. Two chapters this weekend for ya bc I don't like to leave it just like that.

The bad thing about confessing your feelings to a guy is there is a higher chance of being rejected. If Silver had been a girl, then I would've been able to feel more confident in saying my feelings. But, he wasn't. I've never really had a crush on a guy before except two trainers I saw on TV some three years ago. That's when I started to accept the fact that I liked boys and girls.

I sighed as I slumped back in the PokeCenters cushion seats. I left my home in the late morning after my mom found me laid out on the floor like a Staryu. She said as she was coming into my room to wake me up, I fell out of bed right after. Afterwards she insisted she made a huge breakfast ordeal. I managed to get out of it with a burrito wrapped in foil as my breakfast instead. After I bid farewell to her, my Pokemon friends, and everyone in town who somehow knew I was leaving gave me small gifts of berries and treats.

I snacked on a few candies while I waited for my Pokemon to be healed. Violet City was where I'm at. I wanted to immediately challenge the gym but was told I needed to through Bellsprout Tower to 'prove my worth', which I thought was dumb. After obtaining my newly healed Pokemon I made my way towards the tower. Cyndaquil, whom I nicknamed Expo, waddled happily beside me, I had him as my lead because as a fire type we would be able to swiftly go through the area and towards the top.

Well, I was right about the advantage I had. The trainers inside were a joke, they literally only used Bellsprout. I laughed as beat the last trainer before the top. I climbed my way up the ladder with Expo holding onto my arm and dramatically jumped onto the floorboards. A final Bellsprout trainer immediately reached for his belt and held it out in front of him.

"I won't be so easy to defeat! For I shall use… Bellsprout!" he announced. But I wasn't looking at him, I was looking behind his shoulder. There was somebody talking to the trainer in the back wall. Long red hair…pale skin… that was Silver alright. I felt my heart go a little bit faster. He didn't seem to be paying attention to the trainer in front of him who seemed to be telling him something. My eyes fell back down to the trainer before me with annoyed look."I don't know how you did that but you may proceed… " I blinked confusedly before I realized what had happened. While I was staring… I mean, looking... at Silver, Exbo took on all of the trainers Bellsprout for me. I returned him for a good rest after giving him alot of praise.

"I don't care about that, all I care about is that my Pokemon are strong. They're just tools to use for battles." that's what I heard Silver say as I approached the two, I stopped just a few feet behind him as he turned to leave. "...Oh, it's just you." he said as he spotted me and wiped his nose with his sleeve.

"Did you miss me?" I asked teasingly giving him a wink. Idiot, why did you do that.

"No, not really," he said looking away "I was just leaving." and with that, he walked straight past me and down the ladders.

I looked after him for a moment and then facepalmed. "Did you miss me? Seriously? You could of been normal and rather said 'hey dude whatsup' instead?" I cursed under my breath before calming myself down and turned to the final trainer.

"Oh just take it and get out of here." The trainer said as he stood up and tossed a CD at me. "TM contains Flash, use it to go through dark caves and light up your way." he said waving his hand at me. He then reached behind a Bellsprout statue and pulled out a container, "Now shoo! I'm on lunch break now."

Though the Bellsprout Tower was a waste of time, Exbo stilled gained alot of experience from it. I stood in front of the doors and took a deep breath before entering. The place looked empty and I couldn't spot any trainers or a gym leader for that matter. I stepped on top of a platform and kicked at it. Before I knew it I was being lifted up in the air which scared me for being so sudden.

I waited until the platform made a complete stop to the second floor when I was greeted by another platform that was almost zig-zagged which lead to the gym leader. There were a few trainers I had to go through before facing off against him so I did. I gave Aibo a shot for these bird trainers and managed to defeat all of them.

Falkner had a stern look on his face as I stood before him. He gave me a lecture on bird Pokemon which I pretended to listen to. He went on for another three minutes before he stopped himself. "Enough! Let us battle." he shouted throwing out a Pidgeotto.

Silver POV

"What a joke, I didn't think you guys would actually be using only Bellsprout," I returned Sneasel back into his Pokeball as I walked by the elder. "Maybe if you give trainers a chance to have a challenge here, at least use another grass type or something."

I climbed up the final ladder and sighed in relief as I came into the final floor. A man standing in front of the centered pillar jumped to his feet. "Challenger! I won't be going so easy on you!" he released his Bellsprout which looked no different than the others. I sent out Sneasel once again and of course, annihilated it. "Nooooo, how could this be?!" the Bellsprout trainer fell to his knees and picked up his fallen Bellsprout.

I made my way past him and headed to the back room where stood the final elder. Sneasel stood by my side, anxious to get this over with.

"Greetings, young lady-"

"Male." I shot back, annoyed.

"-young man, you have reached the final challenge. Are you ready to prove your worth?" he asked pulling out a Pokeball

I nodded, and looked down at Sneasel who jumped in front of me and took on a battle pose.

The battle went by fairly quickly, I returned Sneasel quickly and stuffed it in my pocket. And received a TM.

"You know, you should really treat your Pokemon better. The way you used them in battle were as if they were tools."

I rolled my eyes, "I don't care about that, all I care about is that my Pokemon are strong. They're just tools to use for battles." at least, that's what I was raised with. I knew there was more to Pokemon than them just being tools, but I was told if I let emotional bonds come to my Pokemon, then it would distract them in battle and soon fail to be strong. I didn't want to believe that but I just couldn't find my way to see that. I turned at my heels and saw a familiar figure standing before me, "...Oh, it's just you." I wiped my nose with my sleeve. He...He looked so different in the light.

"Did you miss me?" he asked while also giving me a wink.

"No, not really," I said looking away "I was just leaving." Why was he talking like what happened never happened and like we were...friends? I shook my head slightly and walked straight past him and down the ladders.

I exited the tower and made my way towards a tree that was in front of the cities gym. I climbed up and sat down on a branch and leaned against the trunk. I reached into the hole behind me and pulled out a bag of food I stole from this morning. ...Tasted funny but was food nonetheless.

A while later I saw the raven-haired boy enter through the gym doors. I don't think I should let me get ahead of me. I finished my food and went to the last route to train.

Luna: Welp, that was fun to write while on a hunger rage. I don't really know what to put at the end of these bc nothing interesting really happens to share. So, as always, enjoy and have a nice week/end!
