This is the second chapter of Hearts Connected Together, and I have recently started playing Pokemon Masters, and have unlocked Sygna Suit Red and Elesa, and Red spoke for the first fucking time, I can't be more happy. Here's to hoping that I get Cynthia as well when she returns as an obtainable character. As a result, events of Pokemon Masters will also be here as well, and the potential Red vs Lears battle is going to be amazing.

The game is quite fun for a mobile Pokemon game, and it does seem enjoyable due to the interaction we have with various trainers and their own stories we can play. While the game may allow less than one hundred separate trainers and Pokemons, with updates, the numbers are slowly increasing.

Well, onto the story.

Cynthia looked in amusement as the final battle between Kukui and Leon ended as the people of Galar cheered for their champion. The main attraction of their battle was when Leon's Charizard returned to normal and Kukui used that moment to use the Firium Z that his Incineroar had and attacked the Fire/Flying Pokemon, though it was of no use as Charizard had survived the attack and returned fire with Ancient Power, defeating the Fire/Dark from Alola.

Over all, Leon had suffered three defeats at the hands of Steven, Cynthia and Diantha. Diantha had been able to heavily damage his Charizard due to her Goodra and its Muddy Water attack, which lowered its accuracy and was effective against the Fire type. And with the help of Mega-Gardevoir, victory was in the bag.

One of the easier battles Leon had was with Iris, due to her relative inexperience compared to the Champions present.

So, out of the seven Champions, Leon could defeat four of them, and hence he was given Fourth Position in the Rankings, with the first being Steven and the second being herself, with Lance being third.

The Rankings changed monthly, and usually the top three stayed at the top. An example could be a few months back when it was Lance who was placed first, while Cynthia was placed third, with Steven being second.

The Rankings also gave help in identifying where the Champions would be placed in the PWT. Usually those at the top would be placed evenly with those at the bottom.

At the moment ranking was as follows : Steven, Cynthia, Lance, Leon, Diantha, Ethan, Kukui and finally Iris. PWT was open to all Challengers, but most didn't compete due to the high level of Pokemons they had. That being said, the trainers who did compete were usually the people who either had defeated all eight gym leaders or were tournament winners.

She wanted to know where Red would place in PWT. She really couldn't wait to go back home and be in the arms of her beloved. She really wanted to reveal that they were dating to the public, however, she couldn't as she had fulfill several obligations to The Pokemon League regularly and had to attend several meetings. She also had several crazy fans that would occasionally stalk her. While she could easily handle them all, she feared what they'd do physically to Red. While she admitted that Red could handle anyone if it was a Pokemon battle, she wasn't sure how'd he be able to handle himself in a physical confrontation.

Soon the ending ceremony had started, and the Chairman of the Galar League, Rose came out and gave a speech about this event being a new chapter in Galar's history.

Well, the sentiment was nice as the people cheered and Cynthia herself was curious to know more about Galar's history, but alas she hadn't made any bookings for an extended stay at Galar so she had to go back home. However, she wasn't all that sad at that, as she knew she'd be with Red again.

" Miss Cynthia, can I have some of your time ?" She heard someone ask. She turned and saw Sonia, who was the granddaughter of Galar's Professor, Professor Magnolia. She had met the elder Professor, who had confessed that she had decided on giving her position to Sonia.

" Sure." Cynthia replied. She followed Sonia towards the locker rooms.

Once they reached there, Sonia decided to break the ice, " Have you heard of the Island of Pasio ?"

Cynthia shook her head. While she was informed of several new islands being formed due to volcanic activity, she knew that they were never named. " Is it naturally formed ?" She asked.

Sonia replied negatively. " No. From what I have researched, this island is entirely man-made." She told the Black Queen of Sinnoh.

" Does anyone have that type of crazy money ?" Cynthia asked, amazed at that. The Elite Four and the Champions did get generous amounts of money each year, but to create an entire island, that was incredible.

" Well, apparently, a royal family spearheaded the project." Sonia said as she pulled up a map of the island. " And from my findings, a Pokemon Masters League will also take place there."

" Is this event League sanctioned ?" Cynthia asked.

Sonia shook her head negative. " No, it also seems that the battle style will be different as well."

The Sinnoh Champion raised an eyebrow. " How so ?"

" Well, only one Pokemon will be allowed per Trainer, and each team must have three Trainer per battle." Sonia replied.

" That's interesting." She said, " This could change Pokemon Battles as we know it."

Sonia nodded at that. " While that may be the case, the entire event will take some time to actually start." She then adopted a pensive look, " Well, I hope I can convince Nessa and Leon to team up with me." She mused. Cynthia gave her a questioning look, which Sonia noticed, " Well, we used to travel together when we were Gym Challengers, and we haven't had a chance to battle together, since we all are busy with our duties. Nessa's the Water Type Gym Leader, while Leon is busy with his duties as Champion." She groaned out.

" That must be tough." Cynthia said as she understood what she was going through. Whenever she was separated from Red, she felt as if a part of her had been removed from her.

" Enough about me, I've heard from Leon that you are in a relationship." Sonia exclaimed.

Cynthia gave a chuckle. " Well, that's true. I have been seeing someone for the past few years." She said. She met Red when he was fourteen, having spent around two years on Mt. Silver, so she was nineteen when they first met each other. " When we first met, we had a Pokemon Battle, and I suffered defeat." She confessed.

" Damn, he must be pretty strong if he was able to defeat you." Sonia said, impressed.

" Well, it was a cake walk for him." Cynthia said, " Have you heard of the Legend of the Man of Mt. Silver ?" She asked.

Sonia nodded. " I have heard of that."

" Wait, you've heard of it ?" Cynthia asked, clearly shocked at that. She had assumed that being a Pokemon Professor, she didn't believed in myths.

Sonia nodded at that. " Yes. I have been compiling all tales from around the world, since three of the Gym Challengers have claimed to have seen Zacian and Zamazenta." She said, crossing her arms.

Cynthia tilted her head at that, " And they are ?" She asked.

" Oh, I forgot that you aren't from Galar." Sonia said, " Well, Zacian and Zamazenta are two Legendary Pokemons that protected the people of Galar during the Darkest Day, though, this information has not been revealed to public as of now."

" So, what's the common belief ?"

" Well, the popular belief is that during the Darkest Day, two humans got a legendary Sword and a legendary Shield, and with this they protected the kingdom of Galar against the threat." Sonia said.

They would have talked more, but they heard fireworks, which meant that the event was about to end and the Champions had to be on the pitch for a photo shoot. " Well, gotta go." Cynthia said as she left the future Galar Professor.

Red looked at his best friend, Blue Oak, who was sitting on one of the couches that was present in Oak's Lab. " Say Red, have you heard of the Battle Tree in Alola ?" He asked.

Red shook his head.

" Well, it's a new facility that has opened in Alola, like the Battle Frontier in Hoenn." Blue said with his usual smirk, " And guess what ? They gave me five tickets apply as Branch Head for the opening month."

Red nodded at that. Blue usually received such invitations from various facilities around the globe. " That's impressive." He whispered.

Blue nodded at that. " Well I've planned on giving one to Yellow, and one to Leaf, so I have two more, one for you." He said.

Red's eyes widened at that. " T-Thanks." He stammered at the generosity.

" No need for that," Blue said, shaking his head, but soon his frowned, " Well, I have one extra ticket."

Red suddenly asked, " Can I have it ?" This made Blue look at him with weird looks, as he had never shown an interest in these things.

" Sure." Blue said as he handed him two tickets. " So, who are ya going to give it to ?" He asked.

Red blushed a bit. He knew that this would come up sooner or later. He had talked with Cynthia about this. " Well, its for my girlfriend." He confessed with a chuckle, scratching his head.

Blue nodded, before he paused suddenly, his mind processing what his childhood rival had just said. " When'd you get a girlfriend ?" He proclaimed. " And more importantly, who is it ?"

" Well, it's been four years since I've been in a relationship." Red said.

" Wait, haven't you been on Mt. Silver for six years ?" Blue said. " And the only person to go there was Cynthia four … years ….. ago." He ended looking at Red, realizing who his girlfriend was.

" Surprise ?" Red muttered weakly with a smile.

Blue looked at Red again, before he brought out his PokeGear and proceeded to call everyone of importance.

Soon the lab was filled with people, which were Brock, Misty, Red's mother Ivy, Leaf, Yellow and finally Professor Oak.

" Now now Blue, what were you saying ?" Oak asked, as he had rushed quickly from Hoenn once Blue had called.

" Well, apparently someone here got a girlfriend and didn't even thought about telling us." Blue said as he looked at Red with crossed arms.

" Wait, what !?" Everybody exclaimed.

" Exactly, that's was my reaction when he told me." Blue said, annoyed.

" Honey, who is your girlfriend ?" Red's mother, Ivy asked. She always wanted her son to be in a relationship, since she was worried that he might not find someone due to his quite nature.

" Well," Red began, " Do you know who the Sinnoh Champion is ?" He asked them, and promptly received shocked looks from everyone present, apart from Ivy, who was ecstatic to learn that her son was dating the Sinnoh Champion.

" You've got to be kidding." Leaf said, not believing what she just heard.

" It's true. I have been living with her ever since I turned eighteen." Red said as he pulled out his own PokeGear to show them several pictures of the couple together.

His mother took the PokeGear to inspect the photos. One of the pictures was a selfie, which had Cynthia hugging Red tightly. Ivy smiled at the photo as she handed the device back to her son. " You know, you could have told us sooner." She said.

" Sorry, but we had to keep it a secret." He said.

Leaf and Yellow nodded their head in understanding. Some of the fans got a little out of control whenever their idol were revealed to be in a relationship.

" Well, now that the secret's out, when can I meet her ?" Ivy asked her son.

Red thought about it, " Well, I'll have to clear up our schedule." He said. And with that, they all resumed their daily lives as Red made plans to give Cynthia the ticket for Alola

( One week Later )

Cynthia groaned as she fell into the arms of Red once she reached their home. Red rubbed her back as he led her to their room for some rest and relaxation.

Once they reached the room, she took off her black coat, showing the blue shirt she wore underneath. She handed Red her travel bag as she began to move for the wardrobe. " So how was your stay ?" He asked her.

" Well, I was able to beat Leon, along with Steven and Diantha." She boasted.

Red smiled at that. " Congratulations." Cynthia smiled at hearing the soft congrats from him. " So what's the rank now ?" He asked.

" Well, Steven is on the top, while I am second with Lance taking the third position. Leon is at Fourth."

Red whistled at that. That was impressive for the new Champion. " So, any update on the Tournament Victor ?" He asked.

Cynthia shook her head as she closed the wardrobe, with a bundle of clothes in her arms. " Tobias still hasn't challenged the Elite Four, even though he has one month remaining, otherwise, he has to pass through Victory Road to challenge them." She replied as she made her way to the bathroom to have a shower.

Every year, each Region had a Pokemon Tournament, with the winner being granted a direct route to the Pokemon League of the region, where they could challenge the Elite Four. This was viable for only one year, after which a new tournament was held, selecting a new victor. People could still challenge the Elite Four, but they had to brave the deadly Victory Road as well.

Soon, Cynthia left came out of the showers, her hair still wet, without her iconic black Umbreon Tails. She also wore a white shirt that showed her midriff. She opted for black pyjamas, which showed her ample curves. Red smiled as he saw Cynthia lay down on their bed.

Cynthia looked at the awestruck Red, who was wearing his black T-shirt, and red-black striped pyjamas. His hear was unkempt, but still made him look more appealing to her. She giggled as she beckoned Red over, who made his way over to his girlfriend. " So, anything interesting happen ?" She asked him.

Red nodded. " A few people back home now know of our relationship." He said.

" How'd that happen ?"

" Well, you know Blue." Red replied and that was all she needed to know. " Oh, my Mom also wants to meet you." He added. Cynthia gained a somewhat of a shocked look.

" Oh Arceus." She muttered.

" Don't worry. She's a nice person." Red tried to comfort her, but to no avail. He knew that she dreaded the day she had to meet Ivy. His mother was a nice person, she admitted, but she also knew how mother's got when they were meeting the person who was dating their children. She had seen several movies about that. " Anyways, I have got tickets for the Battle Tree in Alola." He said, hoping to get Cynthia's attention.

" Wait, what ?" She said.

" Well, Blue gave me tickets he received from the people who started it in Alola."

" For how long ?" She asked.

" Well, we'll be heading there after two months, and will be staying there for a month." He said, getting comfortable on the bed as they began to cuddle together.

" That gives me enough time to both battle Tobias, if he ever decides to challenge me, and meet your mother in Kanto." Cynthia said. Well, the timing was perfect. " I might catch some Pokemons in Kanto as well, you know, add to my arsenal." She added.

Cynthia had primarily trained the Pokemons she used as Champions, but had wanted to shake things up a bit, but due to lack of Pokemons in her Box, she didn't have that many options. So a visit to Kanto could prove sufficient.

" I can even take you to the Safari Park as well." Red said, remembering his own time in the nature reserve, though, it wasn't to good.

" Thanks Red." Cynthia said as she gave Red a kiss on the lips as they continued to cuddle together until they fell asleep.

Well, that's the second chapter and I have several ideas for this story. Red here has a certain design that I have in mind, which will tie into the story that I am trying to create here.

Well, Rate and Review.
