Hello people, sorry for the late chapter, I had taken some time off from doing work for the holidays, but here is another chapter ready and waiting so enjoy.]
Burnet let out a small sigh of content as she and Kukui took a seat, it was about midday and the two had been walking for the better part of the day, having got up extra early so they could walk through some of the Kalos countryside; currently they were in a place called Camphrier Town, it had a rather rustic feel to it that Lumiose could not match; the old world buildings and the manor that was right across from them on a bridge, the place looked like something out of a fairytale.
"This place is so cool." Kukui said as he looked at decapitated manor, looking at the guide that was given to him when they arrived in Kalos, "So this place belonged to a noble family that gave away all their possessions to their people." Kukui said reading the guide word for word.
"Interesting, come on we've got some more sights to see." Burnet said as she and Kukui continued their trip through the small little hamlet. Though the town was small, it still had many things that would interest people from a few small cafes to an antiques shop. Walking around the two decided to see what the shop had inside.
The antiques shop had much like the rest of the town an olden rustic feel to it, with various things of age. At the counter a man of advanced age was wiping it down with a wet towel; he gave to two a look of acknowledgment and went back to his work. The two browsed the many wares that the store had to offer, from old record players that were made before their parents were even born, old radios that had vacuum tubes in them, and many other knickknacks that had a rather old aesthetic.
"Hmm, this is a nice radio." Burnet said as she inspected the radio, it was red and had the normal dials that changed the frequency, from AM to FM, turning it on she could hear the fait sound of one of the local Kalos music station playing. Meanwhile Kukui was looking at an old record player himself.
"Hmm, how much is this?" Kukui asked the man who was running the shop. Putting a thumb to his bearded chin the man thought for a moment and told him the price.
"It's about 3520 Pokédollers." The old man said, Kukui nodded and handed him the money, "So I take it you two are on your honeymoon, correct?" The man asked, Kukui and Burnet nodded and his face lit up.
"Ah, reminds me of the old times with me and my wife." The man said as memories of his younger years with the woman who was the love of his life.
"How long were you two married?" Burnet asked the man smiled.
"We were married for about thirty years, some of the best years of my life." The man said as he reminisced, "But fate said it was time she leave me, I still miss her so." The man said Burnet and Kukui nodded, they stayed in the shop for some time hearing the man's stories of his life. The two left and continued to walk through the countryside enjoying the many sights that the area had to offer, including the Perfume Palace, a rather large a luxurious manor that was once the home of the King of Kalos three hundred years ago,
"Wow this place is amazing!" Kukui shouted as he took in the opulent palaces splendor, from the many pieces of furniture adorned with gold to the several rooms with king sized beds and a large assortment of other things that made the place…well grand.
"Yeah, I've never seen a place so… decadent." Burnet said as she looked at a mirror that had several gemstones adorning it, judging by how large and well outlandish the place was explained the rather steep price to get inside.
"Man, the king of Kalos had really grand taste." Kukui said as he took a picture of some of the items in the palace.
"He did indeed." Burnet said as the two walked through the rest of the building, until they were in the courtyard of the of the manor. The two were in awe at it, on both sides of the bridge they were standing on were statues of knights with Golurks. At the end of the bridge was a statue of a legendary pokémon from Burnet's home region of Unova. Standing far opposite of it was its counterpart. Stopping to inspect the statue Burnet was a bit surprised to see it. It was of the legendary pokémon Reshiram, and the one far from it was its counterpart Zekrom.
"Hmm, I'm surprised that the creator of this place would have such detailed statues of these two." Burnet said as she took a photo of the statue to send to Juniper and Fennel.
"Well he could have probably seen one of them or both in his time." Kukui said as he took in the rest of the courtyard, besides the statues were several hedge mazes, that if the map he was using was correct, would be in the shape of several pokémon. By the time the two returned to their hotel they had seen many things and talked to a man who gave them a new outlook on life. Sitting on the balcony chairs of their hotel rooms balcony the two were looking at the lights of the city at night.
"You know I hope I can love you the same way that man did his wife." Kukui said to Burnet as he took hold of her hand, "The love he had for her, even after she had been gone, I want that with you Burnet." Kukui added looking lovingly into his wife's eyes, Burnet smiled and placed her hand on top of his.
"I do too Kukui, I want to know you still love me even when I'm old and grey." Burnet said as she kissed him lovingly on the lips. The two sat there for a long time looking at the passing lights and enjoying each other's company.
Well that's the end of this chapter, sorry that it's so short, but I hope to release a longer chapter for the next one, but any way we're about two or three chapters away from the stories end.
