Chapter 15 (Part 1): Night of Encounter!
Previously: The gang had headed back to Jubilife so they could continue their journey to Florama Town, when they met up with the Orphanage Crew and Shinji while they were getting stock in "gear" and picking up some Pokemon. Their little reunion was interrupted by a girl name Nania, who inform Xavier and the others about her Ancient Pokemon Ilumise. Nania then challenge Ricky to a battle. During the battle Ilumise went berserk and only when Ricky won the battle with Heat Fist did Ilumise regained it senses. After Nania bid farewell as everyone continue their respective journeys. The gang arrived late to Florama Town, so they camped outside for the night. Everyone set their sleeping bags and later went to sleep. Xavier, Kim and Kari let their Eevee's camp out with them. The ears of Kim's Eevee who was cuddled near her, perked up as she heard a lite music emanating from somewhere deep in the forest that surrounded them. The Eevee got up and ran off following the music. Eevee's movements caused Kim to wake up. "Where are you going Eevee?" Kim asked when she saw her Eevee head into the forest. She quickly got up and followed her, making sure not to wake up the others. While following her Eevee she heard the music too, she realize that, that must be what her Eevee was looking for. This distracted her enough to lose sight of her Eevee. She searched anxiously. She walked all the way to where the music could be heard perfectly. She also heard her Eevee call. When she started approaching she saw that a Kricketot hitting his antennae together to create a sound like a xylophone to accompany his master who was playing a tune with something like an ocarina. The young man around Kim's age had short spiky light brown hair and light skin that couldn't be noticeable because of the night. He played with his eyes close. He opened his eyes revealing them to be green and got up when his Masquerain startled Kim and she let out a yelp; he was a bit taller than Kim. He wore an opened long sleeve black and purple jacket, a black shirt with a green design, jeans and boots. He also had a necklace with a note symbol charm hanging from it. "Sorry to bother you but-"Kim was cut off by the boy. "Is no bother at all and are you perhaps looking for this Eevee?" the boy asked her. "Yes, I am". "I can tell, you have taken good care of her". "Thank you, your Pokemon seem well taken care of too…" Kim started. They stood there for a few seconds before Kim had to go. "It's getting late; I guess you should head back". "Oh yeah!" Kim exclaimed when she realize what time it was, she turned and was about to run off when she realize she hadn't ask him his name. She was about to ask him, when he said it himself "It's Sean, your name?" he asked. "Kimberly Oa- Kimberly Centero" she corrected herself before running off with her Eevee right behind her. "Kim, eh?" He thought before walking in the opposite direction. Kim headed back to where the gang was camping. They were all still asleep; so they didn't notice she was gone for a while. The Next Morning- Florama Contest The Next Morning the gang was packing up. The gang was in a rush especially Kim who had her contest today, but she hadn't registered yet. She had 15 to get to the Contest Hall and she still hadn't gotten to Florama Town. The gang argue about whose fault was that they overslept on their way to the Contest Hall. She finally arrives at the contest Hall but 5 minutes late. She ran all the way to the Nurse Joy attending the counter. "Are you here to register?" The Nurse Joy asked her. "Yes, and I know I'm 5 minutes late bu-". "What? No, you're just in time. See?" Nurse Joy pointed to the Clock in the wall and she was right there was still 5 minutes left till the registration closed. Kim checked the time on her Poketch but it read that she was 5 minutes late and she was sure her time was right. "So are you gonna registered?" Nurse Joy asked her. "Oh! Right". "Please hand me your Pokedex, so you can receive your Contest Pass, Ribbon Case and be registered". Kim did as she was told and in a few seconds she was registered and had all she needed to take part in Sinnoh Super Contest. "The Contest will start in the afternoon, thanks for participating!" Nurse Joy said as she closed the registration counter. "That was weird, I was sure you were late" Xavier told Kim. "Lucky you" Ricky told her. "Yeah" Kim said. A Masquerain flew around Kim. She recognizes it as the one that startled her the night before. The Masquerain then flew over to a guy sitting in a corner. It was Sean. Kim walked over to the guy and the others wondered and followed her. Sean stood up when he saw her coming."Seems like I was right, you are participating in the contest" Sean said. "Did you change, the time in the clock?" Kim asked him. "Maybe" Sean replied. "Why?" "I had a hunch you were a coordinator and naturally you were gonna participate in the Contest today" Sean replied. "You could tell I was a coordinator?" Sean nodded "I could also tell you were gonna oversleep" he said while he walked away. Kim turned red. Sean walked out of the Contest Hall. "Kim! No way, from where do you know Sean!" Ricky exclaimed. "Is a long story, but from where do you know him?" Kim replied. "Helloo he's the son on one of my mom's best friends!" Ricky exclaimed. "Really who?" Laura asked. "Sean! Sean Rhapsodos the eldest son of Top Coordinators Drew and May Rhapsodos, sound familiar now?" Ricky. "You're gonna be in the same contest as him?" "This should be interesting Sean the son of May and Drew and Kimberly the daughter of Celeste Centero on the same contest!" To Be Continue…
