The Heartless Timing that is Life

by Grandpas Girl Kim326

This is my first ever Marrisonshipping fanfiction for Pokémon. True to the ship I'm using in the story, it's about Alain and Mairin from the Mega Evolution specials in the XY and Z saga of Pokémon. There is also Professor Sycamore. In this story, Alain and Mairin start on their way to a beach vacation with Professor Sycamore at the lab. What will happen in the rest of the story?

12. Alain Out of Touch with His Inner Teen

Alain suddenly became offended at Mairin's assumption that he couldn't talk to girls. Of course, the girls he'd talked to before were mega-evolving pokémon trainers, so unless it was about dating, they pretty much didn't count.

Alain: What do you know about talking to the opposite gender, Mairin? I'll have you know I have talked to many girls before now.

Mairin: You mean girls like Malva and the Mega Absol trainer I saw you battling when I first went to watch your battling with your Mega Charizard? Last time I checked; a mega-evolutionary battle doesn't actually count as talking to girls.

Alain was about to make a comeback to Mairin's statement about talking to girls, when he realized that what she said was true. He really did limit his conversations with women to mega-evolution battles.

Alain: Mairin's right. I'm way out of touch with even the teenager within me, and it's about time I tried to do something about it.

Raymond and Kimberly heard everything Alain said about being out of touch with even his own teenage hormones. Raymond decided he could help lead the way for Alain to rediscover his inner teen.

Raymond: So, you wanna get back in touch with your inner teenager, do you?

Alain: I never thought all those years I spent as Professor Sycamore's assistant or working for Team Flare could actually take my own youth from me. The former of which is even ironic, but the latter is actually understandable.
