Sorry about the wait for this one, I got tied into other stories on here. Also got stuck watching Himouto Imaru chan and Macademi wasshoi sooo, yeah. But any way it's up and hope you enjoy.
After all that had happened, I looked up and saw that the sky was still blue. We still had plenty of time left in the day. So, we left the city, and walked for about 15 minutes. Then I heard a growling stomach. I looked down to see that it was Kirlia. I could tell by the blushing. So we stopped so that wee could set up for lunch. Kirlia grabbed the bowls and set them down. So, I went through my bag to get the food.
"Oh,no." I said.
"What's wrong Tony?" Kirlia asked.
"Oh nothing." I told her.
"Okay..." She said eyeing me weirdly.
So with that I filled their bowls and put some regular food on top. Then I got another wierd look.
"Tony are you sure everything is okay?" She asked.
"Yeah I'm all good." I told her. "While y'all are eating, I'm going to take a nap."
"Why?" Kirlia asked." You always eat with us. What's different about today?"
"Nothing." I told her. "I'm just not hunrgy today."
"If you say so." Kirlia replied.
So I laid down and fell asleep.
-Tony's Dream-
I was back in the house from earlier. I was sitting on the couch with my Gardevoir wife to my left, and the three kids around us. The T.V. was on and we were watching something called Blaring Bloopers. Then an alarm went off.
"What's that?" I asked looking around.
"Wow honey, you're really forgetful today." The Gardevoir said while chuckling at me. "It's time to go to the Hoenn League."
"Oh ok." I said.
So we got up to leave. When Gardevoir spoke up.
"Oh yeah and that one tough trainer, don't forget about him." She said.
"What was his name again?" I asked.
Then my eldest daughter spoke up.
"Come on dad." She said sighing. "His name is-"
-Back to Reality- -Tony's PoV-
I was woken up by being shaken.
"Come on Tony, wake up." I heard Kirlia in my head.
"Ugh, I hate waking up." I moaned.
"Well then why do we always get up so early?" She asked.
"So we can actually get somewhere." I snickered a little.
"Oh." She said looking away in embarassment.
"Eh, come don't be down." I told her. "And sonce you cleaned up, let's hit the road."
I grabbed her hand and we walked north for about an hour until wee got stopped by a trainer.
"Hey you!" He called.
"Yes?" I asked.
"How about your 'Pokemon' let's go of your hand and does what it's for." He sneered. "Let's battle."
"You better leave or the Pokemon won't be battling, it'll be me and you." I said to him while glaring. "Unless you want to apologize to my girlfriend."
"I have nothing to apologize for, creep." He laughed. "I can't believe you call that thing your girlfriend!"
I could feel Kirlia shaking. I looked donw and saw that she was starting to cry. That was it. a walked over to him.
"You, want to say that again?" I asked.
"Oh tough guy over here mad cause I insulted his sex toy." He laughed more.
I was done I punched him square in the chest and walked away. While he laid there almost crying, I picked up Kirlia. While soothing her I said something.
"You can say what you want about me." I started. "But say something about someone I care about, and you're going to wish you hadn't."
Then while we turned the corner to Route 103, I just held Kirlia there.
"Look honey, you've got to stop listening to what others have to say." I told her. "Other people are in considerate and just want to hurt you and other people."
Then just as she woke up, I stopped walking and stole a kiss from her.
"Is that for real?" She asked after braking off the kiss.
"Yes." I replied. "You are a great Pokemon, and also my best Pokemon. On top of that you are also the best girlfriend I could have asked for. You're so smart and caring, you're always looking out for me and trying to help. You're always able to cheer me up when I'm down. You're better than any human I could have ever found, in every way."
With that she reinitiated the kiss. With that I tried my best to sit down. This one felt weird. It was different when she started the kiss but either way I liked it.
"I can't believe you feel that way about me." She said breaking away from this kiss too. "I'm so happy."
So on that note, we got up and started down Route 103 towards the water. So upon getting there we decided to go into the woods to go around it. We wanted to avoid getting wet. I saw I Tentacool jump out of the water, so I had Kirlia try to catch it with Confusion. It fell back in the water so I guess she missed.
"Ah dang it." Kirlia said kind of annoyed.
I just laughed a little.
"Don't you laugh at me." She whined.
"Okay, I'm sorry." I said while trying to stop.
We made it around the lake and continued down Route 103. We walked together and enjoyed every second. We weren't really even bothered by anyone, trainer or Pokemon. It was nice. We walked for about an hour before stopping in Oldale for lunch. I set out the tarp and Kirlia out the bowls out. I went over and filled most of them. I left her's empty.
"Hey Tony." She said. "What about me? I'm hungry too."
"I know but I have a surprise for you." I told her. You'll get it after they eat."
"Oh, alright." She saild happily.
So we sat there and talked. I told her about my dreams lately. At that I just got her to blush. It was really cute.
"Wow a family." She said shocked. "I didn't know that you were thinking that far ahead. I'm honestly kinda speechless."
She just sat there doing what I thought was thinking. She then leaned on to my side. I felt a difference in the area it felt like a warm kind of comforting. It felt really safe. I looked down to Kirlia. Her eyes were closed and she was smiling.
"Tony?" She asked.
"Yes?" I asked back.
"Everyday I find this so hard to believe." She said.
"Find what hard to believe?" I asked.
"The fact that I found someone who can make me feel so safe." She started. "I found someone that I want to be with forever. I found someone who can cheer me up, someone who can make me laugh. But, you're a human. I know it's all kind of taboo, but I still feel so great just from having you. I'm just so glad that you can love me for me. I don't sense any bad intentions from you. I know that you won't hurt or abuse me. I can tell. I just love you so much, it's so much that I can't stand it."
I was at a loss for words. I just found myself loving her even more than I already did. We just sat there being in love with each other. And we would have let it go forever if we weren't interupted. Braixen poked my shoulder.
"Master, do you want me to clean up?" Braixen asked.
"Oh, uh, no we can get it." I told her as Kirlia and I got up.
I returned them all and we packed up.
"That really riuned the moment." I said.
"Yeah you're telling me." Kirlia agreed.
After cleaning up, I saw that someone was very eager.
"So, Tony, what's my surprise?" KIrlia asked.
"Just come with me." I said.
I grabbed her hand and led her across the town. I was taking her to a really good resturant. I wanted her to start eating what I ate. I felt like she would probably like it. So we walked for about 10 minutes until we got there.
"Ready to go in?" I asked.
"Why here?" Kirlia asked.
"I figured that you might want to try more of the food I eat." I said.
"Really?" "She asked. "Won't that get expensive?"
"Eh, only if I have to make different things." I told her. "Oh okay.
So with that we went inside. We were greeted kindly.
"Table for two?" The hostess asked.
"Yes please." I responded.
We then followed her to our table. I motioned for Kirlia to sit down and I then sat beside her. The hostess handed us some menus and said that our server with be right with us. Kirlia opened up the menu and just looked mesmorized by all of the different pictures of food.
"Just pick what ever you want, and you can have it." I told her.
"Okay!" She said while looking at me.
"I want this." She said pointing to a picture of a cheeseburger.
"Okay, sounds good." I said. "Besides, that's what I wanted too."
She chuckled at that. And then the server came over.
"Hello my name is Charlette, and I'm your server today." She said really cheerfully. "Can I get you two something to drink?"
"Yeah two Cokes and a water please." I said.
"Okay, two cokes and a water, and are you two ready to order or do you need a minute?" She asked.
"I think we're good." I said. "We both want the cheeseburger."
"Alright and are fries okay with that?" Charlette asked.
"Yes please." I said.
"Okay, I'm going to put your order in." She said. "Just let me know if you need anything."
With that she walked away.
"Wow, she was really nice." KIrlia said.
"Yeah that's part of her job." I told her. "If she's nice, people are more likely to come back."
"Oh ok." Kirlia said.
Just then, Charlette came over.
"Here are your drinks." She said. "Your food will be out shortly.
"Thank you." I said wiht a smile.
With that, she walked away.
"Tony, what's this?" She said pointing at one of the Cokes.
"It's called Coca-Cola, or Coke for short." I said. "It's a really sweet drink. Just give it a try." I said while putting a straw in her drink. "Just suck through this end and the drink will come through."
She did as I said. I saw her face just light up.
"Oh my gosh, this is so good!" I said happily.
"I guess I didn't need the water." I said laughing.
"So you always get to drink stuff like this?" Kirlia asked.
"Yep, you bet." I said. "The only problem is that it can be addictive."
"Really?" She asked.
"Yeah, it's the main reason I normally stick to water." I laughed. "Although once in a while never hurt."
She just sat there taking tiny sips. I watched as the carbonation sent small chills down her spine. It was slightly entertaining to be honest. Just then the waitress brought out our food and saw Kirlia.
"Looks like somebody likes her drink." Charlette laughed. "Oh, and by the way, here are your cheeseburgers."
"Thank you very much." I said politely.
"You're welcome and just let me know when you want the check." Charlette said as she walked away.
Kirlia just stared in amazement at the burger.
"How am I supposed to eat it?" Kirlia asked.
"Okay, just watch me." I said.
I picked up my burger and watched Kirlia do the same.
"Okay, now open your mouth as wide as you can." I told her while moving my burger towards my mouth. "Then you bite into it."
She did as I did. Luckily, it didn't come with tomato or lettuce or any other big condiments. That would have made it harder to teach her. Not to mention the mess.
"Wow!" She got happy again. "This is good too. And these." She said again, also trying the fries.
I just sat there, eating my food and watching Kirlia enjoy her's. I could just tell that she loved it.
About 15 minutes later I got the check and paid. Then I left the tip.
"Hey Tony, you forgot some money." Kirlia warned.
"No, that's the tip." I started. "The person who took our order, if they were nice and did a good job, you leave them extra money on the table. You do that because they make less than the others."
"Oh okay." She said.
So we left the restaurant and headed out. I grabbed her hand because I was used to it now. We just walked and let our food digest for about 20 minutes. Then Kirlia spoke up.
"I learned so much back there." She said with a smile. "I can't wait until next time."
"Me either." I replied.
As we walked the other hour and a half to Littleroot, Kirlia kept talking about the restaurant. I started to think that I had made a mistake. But then just laughed about it.
Once we got to town, the first thing I did was make a bee line for home. I went over and knocked on the door.
"Be right there!" Called the familiar voice of my mother.
As soon as the door opened, her jaw dropped.
"Oh my gosh!" She yelled. "Tony! Your back! It's so good to see you. I've missed you. How have you been?"
"I've been good and I missed you too mom." I said as I gave her a hug."
"Tonight, I making your favorite dinner." She said as my face lit up.
"No way!" I started. "Loaded Pork Chops?"
"Yep, definitely." She said.
Loaded Pork Chops were two pork chops closed together and cooked with cheese, mashed potatoes, seasonings, corn and peas inside. I loved them so much.
"While I start that you should go pay Prof. Birch a visit." She said.
"Okay." I replied.
Once I got outside I let all of my Pokemon out. Then we walked next door to the lab.
"Professor Birch!" I called.
"Be right there!" He called back.
"Okay!" I called one last time.
I turned to check on the others. Marshtomp was sitting down and relaxing. Probably because he's been here and nothing has changed. Most of the others were looking around. Almost like they were trying to learn the area. Kirlia came over to me slowly with her back turned and grabbed my hand tightly.
"Kirlia, is something wrong?" I asked.
She just kept her back turned to me and pointed toward the house just south of mine. She was getting a really creepy stare from the man in that house. That man was Kevin. He was a kind of a creep. So, a lot of us tried to just avoid him.
"I'm getting some dark vibes from him." She said shaking a little.
"Ah there you are." Prof. Birch said. "Sorry I took so long."
"No, it's fine." I said. "But do you think we could go inside?"
"Yeah, any reason?" Prof. Birch asked?
"Kevin is giving my Kirlia some weird looks and making her feel uncomfortable." I told him.
"Ah okay, let's go." He said.
So I looked back and motioned for everyone to come inside.
"I wanted to visit while I'm here and also to show you my team a while." I told him.
He looked at everyone, starting with the Kirlia who was still holding my hand. He then moved to check out Marshtomp.
"Is this the Mudkip you left with?" Birch asked.
"Yes it is." I said.
He just nodded as he continued he looked at Breloom and Mawile next.
"I didn't know you made it to Fallarbor Town." He said.
" I didn't yet." I told him. "Is this about Mawile?"
"Yes." Birch said.
"I found her with Kirlia when I caught her as a Ralts." I told him. "I was surprised too."
"Ah ok." He then continued to look but stopped. "I see you have a Luxio and Braixen. HOw did you obtain them?" He asked.
"I found Luxio as a Shinx while coming here with May." I started. "I found Braixen on and island on the way to Dewford Town when we stopped to refuel the boat we were on."
"Mind if they stay here so I can do some research on their species?" Birch asked. "I haven't really had many chances to do so."
I looked at them to ask them if they wanted to.
"How do you guys feel about that?" I asked.
They looked at each other, then at me. Then they both nodded their heads.
"Okay Professor Birch, there's your answer." I said while chuckling again.
With that my other Pokemon and I turned around to leave.
"Tony." Kirlia said in my head.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"You're not giving them away, are you?" Kirlia asked while worried.
"What?" I asked. "I'd never do that to any of you. Why do you ask?"
"You're leaving them here though." She said.
"Yes, I know." I said. "He is the Professor that got me started on my journey. Any Pokemon I catch now will get sent to him sense I can only have six Pokemon with me. But, either way, Braixen and Luxio aren't native to this region so he wants to study them and do some reserach."
"You promise you're not leaving them?" She asked.
"If I was, then the others would be there too." I told Kirlia.
With that we went to the southern most part of town. We sat there with our backs to the forest. I leaned against a tree while Kirlia sat on my lap and rested her back on me. I used one arm to hold her there. Then she looked up at me.
"Hey, Tony." Kirlia said as I now looked down.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I'm sorry for doubting you earlier." Kirlia said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"When I thought you were giving them away." Kirlia said. "I always assume the worst. I never just trust you. I'm sorry."
"Don't worry hun." I said while i petted her head.
"But, I have to worry. I need to learn to tru..." She started.
I kissed her to stop that sentence.
"You always make me do this to stop you." I said. "You need to stop being down on yourself. You really do."
"I'm sorry but I..." She was cut off.
I pulled her close and into another kiss. I held the back of her head and placed the other hand on her back. She then put her hands on my shoulders. I felt a stray tongue in my mouth this time. It was weird but kinda sweet. It was hard to explain. We just say there for probably 10 minutes just holding each other in the most passionate kiss we've ever experienced. It was Kirlia who broke it.
"Tony." She said tearing up a little bit.
"What's wrong?" I asked while wiping away some of her tears.
"You're so nice to me, I love you so much." She cried.
"I love you too." I told her.
I held her there, in a hug and let her cry into me all she wanted. She cried for about 5 minutes as I did my best in an attempt to soothe her.
"You okay?" I asked as she started to gather herself.
"Yeah, thanks." She replied. "I needed this."
"Anything for you honey," I replied. "So how about we head home, sound good?"
At that she nodded her head. So, I returned the others, who were all doing their own thing, and we headed back to my house.
