*Beach
"And that's how it all started."
I was at Xerneas Cove with Sylveon, and I was giving him a heads up about Riolu.
"Well that is certainly a mouthful. Are you sure you're really okay about him coming with?"
"I was going to ask you that. But yeah I'm alright with it."
"Same. I don't mind making a new friend and all. It's just about you feel really considering the circumstances."
"No no! We're fine already. I just don't know why I'm so nervous about being his friend, that's all."
"That's normal. You're just unsure if he'll be any different from his sister. But as long as he doesn't try to hurt anyone it will be all right."
"That makes sense. So do you think we're ready?"
"Always born ready. Let's met this guy already."
*One hour later
"So hot. Where is he?"
"You did tell Riolu where we're meeting right?"
"GRRRRRR..."
"Now now, Eevee. There's no reason to get angry. I'm sure there's a logical explanation for this."
"But it's just so hot, I just can't take it anymore."
"Umm, ooh! Just wait right here Eevee, I'll be right back."
"Augh!! So hot!"
Even in the shade I still felt the sun's full heat going down on me. Summer is now in full swing, and the second semester won't be until the first day of August. And since Sylveon passed his first semester exams he was able to come with me to the beach. And now is the first start of swimming lessons. He did tell me it'd be better to learn at a pool first but I really wanted to go to the beach instead. He was fine with it even after I told him I invited Riolu to come along. But I never thought I would have enough time to tell him how this all happenned.
"Where is he? When I get my hands on him I'll-"
"Uh hi Eevee."
"Aah!!! Geez Riolu, don't sneak up on me like that!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"Nevermind that. Where have you been?"
"My driver got lost like three times before we found the correct beach. He's never had to drive this far before and that's why I was late. So sorry again."
"That's why? I guess that's okay..."
"Oh really?!"
"Well just-"
"Eevee, I'm back!! I hope I didn't take too long!! I was just getting you a drink and- Huh? Whose this?"
"Oh um, Sylveon! This is Riolu. The one I told you about."
"Oh hello, nice to meet you."
Sylveon held out his paw. Except when he did, Riolu didn't shake it.
"Huh? What's up?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Uhh yeah, what's up?"
"Are you Eevee's boyfriend?"
I admit his question caught me off guard. But what answer was Sylveon going to give to him?
"Uhh no, we're just friends."
And was it my imagination just now or did Sylveon flinch a bit at the question?
"Oh is that so? Well then nice to meet you too."
Was Riolu glaring at him or am I really losing it?
"Same here. Oh and Eevee here's your drink."
"Oh thank you."
"Your auras are giving off different emotions."
"Uh pardon?"
"Your auras. I can read the feelings of Pokemon through their auras. Like I am doing to your's now."
"Umm, but what is an aura?"
"The essence of every living thing. I'm not as good as my dad yet, but I can try to give you a reading if you want to."
"Okay. What do you see from me?"
"Golden coloured aura. Sylveon emotions are confusion, and now a bit of curiousity."
"Wow you're good. And you're not even a Psychic type either."
"As for Eevee...Oh do you want me to read yours Eevee?"
"Sure. Go ahead."
"This is strange. Aside from the rose coloured aura, you are giving off a mix of emotions that I'm having trouble reading them."
"That's wierd."
"Oh wait I think I found something..."
"Eevee is fond of someone but I don't know who... And..."
Silence followed.
"She has a sense of attraction or a crush on someone only I don't know on who."
"What? That's ridiculous. Right, Sylveon?"
"I don't know I'm not the expert."
"I'm done. My head hurts from trying to read it that hard."
"Uh, are you okay?"
"Not really. For a second I thought what I was reading was towards your friend here that's why I thought..."
"I'm just confused now."
"Not me. Hey Riolu. What exactly were you implying by what you just said?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out."
"I don't like your attitude."
"Good. I'm not trying to suck up to you anyways."
"Sorry to hear that."
"Riolu, what are you talking about?"
"Hey Riolu."
"What?"
"Are you challenging me to a battle?"
"Wait what?"
"*sigh Yes I am."
