I recalled Sharpedo since he needs to be in water to have any kind of mobility. I left everyone else out. Kirlia kept playing with Igglybuff. While the others kept up.
"Tony, why do we baby her?" Kirlia asked about Igglybuff.
"She's a baby still, right?" I asked back.
"Yeah but so was I and I wasn't treated like this." She responded.
"You should have been but look at how your mother acted towards you." I said. "Definately not mother-of-year if you ask me."
"Yeah you're right." Kirlia said.
"Iggly." Igglybuff said.
"And, she still talks like an infant." Kirlia said with a sigh.
"What did she say?" I asked.
"She said 'mama'." Kirlia replied.
"Aww how cute." I replied.
"Iggly." Igglybuff said holding towards me.
"Translation?" I asked.
"Dada." Kirlia said handing her to me.
"Okay." I said.
We continued walking about an we found a trainer. He looked to be a bug catcher. And... we crossed his path.
"You, trainer, I challenge you." The bug catcher said.
"Okay. Go, Fletchinder." I called as he flew forward.
"Go Ledyba." He said.
"Fletchinder, use Flame Charge." I said.
"Ledyba, dodge!" He called, but to no avail.
"That's a wrap." I said.
"I didn't know you'd be that strong." The bug catcher said.
"I do have pokemon from other regions. So, that does show that I've been around." I said. "Ready to go?" I asked Kirlia.
"Mhmm." She nodded as we continued on our path.
-Trainers' School- -Mawile Pov-
"Shut up!" I screamed.
"No, just think for a little!" Braixen shouted.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because you're more worried than the rest of us!" She yelled.
"No, she was terrible. She is why we're here!" I yelled again.
"We know this but still what if she is?" Don't you feel anything?" She asked.
"She isn't some trainer probably got her." I said.
"Nobody did, we would have heard the humans talking about it. Besides, they wouldn't let anyone take her due to her voilent attitude she developed." Braixen said.
"Why do you say that?" I asked.
"They said that. They weren't going to let any trainer take her until she calmed down." She told me.
"Look, arguing isn't going to solve anything." Luxray said.
"I know but my friend is gone, and the last thing we did was fight." Braixen said starting to cry again.
"Look, if she is then oh well. She was on a down hill spiral anyway. Her mind wasn't stable." I said.
"What do you mean?" Breloom asked.
"You all saw how she acted on the boat. Those dreams she had were a combonation of her self conscience and her feelings. The two interfereing with each other blocked by a happy facade. It was breaking her down. WHat happened on the boat was the result. It would've just happened again." I explained my logic.
"That's because she didn't have the support we needed and wanted." Braixen said. "I was still new at the time but it looked like our trainer was the only one supporting her."
"Yeah now that you mention it." Breloom said. "That makes me feel even worse."
"Anyway, we can't change the past so our best bet is to move on." Luxray said.
"I can try." Braixen said.
"Alright that's all settled." I said as I laid down to take a nap.
-Tony's PoV-
After about 4 more hours of walking, we stopped for the night. It was starting to get dark and we were getting tired. Once we picked our spot, I recalled everyone except Kirlia. We then got started proping our tent.
"Yay, finally bed time." Kirlia cheered.
"Well someone's excited." I chuckled.
"I would've been happier if I had my bed." she said slightly glaring at me.
"Eh, you'll live." I laughed.
"Meanie." Kirlia pouted.
"Hey you!" Someone shouted our way.
"Yes where ever you are?" I called back out.
"I challenge you to a battle." He said walking out of the woods.
The boy had long red hair. His jacket looked to be navy blue from what I could tell in the dark. He had blue jeans on also. He looked to have three Pokeballs on him.
"The name is Silver, and I challenge you." He said.
"Okay, my name is Tony and I accept your challenge." I said.
"Okay then, Go Zubat." He called.
I sighed and looked towards Kirlia.
"Okay, fine." She moaned.
"Zubat, use Leech Life." SIlver called.
"Kirlia use Confusion." I said.
At that zubat closed in and bit into Kirlia's Shoulder. Then she yelled in pain and her eyes turned blue. Then Zubat got surrounded with a blue aura as it got pushed away. Then a flash appeared as it fell. But, it managed to get back up.
"Use wing attack!" Silver called.
"Kirlia use Psybeam." I called out.
Zubat flew back in close as Kirlia shot out a rainbow colored bean of Psychic enerrgy. Zubat flew around the beam as its wings turned white. Then it stirked KIrlia right in the other shoulder as it circled back to its trainer.
"Kirlia are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah." She replied.
"Okay, end this with Disarming Voice." I called.
"Zubat use Bite to finish this." Sliver said.
Zubat flew in one last time. I saw Kirlia open her mouth and let out a deafining scream. At that we saw Zubat fall to the ground Knocked out.
"Kirlia what's going on? I asked. "That was a Zubat."
"I don't know." She said.
"You must be tired. I need you to wake up a little bit." I said.
"Okay, I'll try." She said.
"Okay, thanks." I replied.
"Zubat return." Silver said. He then threw another ball. "GO Gastly.
"A ghost type..." Kirlia started.
"You wanna switch?" I asked.
"Yes." She said.
"Kirlia, Return. Go Vibrava." I called.
"Gastly, Mean Look." Silver said.
"Vibrava, Dragonbreath." I said.
Gastly's eyes glowed red, preventing me from switching my Pokemon for now. Then Vibrava let out a green cloud of it's breath which looked to be electrcally charged. Have it come in to contact with Gastly knocking him back.
"Gaslty, use Curse." Silver said as Gastly put a curse on Vibrava.
"We aren't dealing with this." I said. "Vibrava use Earthquake."
At that the whole ground shook and crumbled. Pieces of rubble started flying upward and hitting Gastly knocking him out.
"Gastly return." Silver said. "Go Croconaw."
"Thanks Vibrava. Kirlia you got this?" I asked.
"Yeah." She nodded.
"Alright, you're back in." I said.
"Croconaw, use Bite." Silver said.
'Kirlia send him back with Confusion."
Croconaw ran forward mouth open, but Kirlia's eyes turned blue as she picked up Crocnaw and tossed him backwards.
"Okay then, use Water Gun." He called.
"Kirlia counter with another Psybeam." I called.
Kirlia's Psybeam seemed to miss its mark just skimming Croconaw's arm while his Water Gun hit Kirlia right in the chest. I watched her fall on her back.
"Croconaw, quick run in for another Bite." Silver called.
"Quick, use Teleport." I called starting to get worried.
I saw her eyes start to glow but just as they started Croconaw bit down one her left shoulder. I heard her yell out in pain. It hurt to hear that. After that she fell back down knocked out. I ran over picked her up and brought her back.
"Go, Cacnea." I called.
"Croconaw, use Rage." Silver called.
"Cacnea, use Drain Punch." I said.
Croconaw started stomping on the ground and going crazy until he charged at Cacnea. Once Croconaw started getting close Cacnea pulled his arm back as it glowed green and landed a punch in Croconaws gut. At that Croconaw fell back but got up even angrier.
"Use Drain Punch." I requested.
As Croconaw got close, he hit Cacnea this time but Cacnea got him in the chest too. They both fell down but only Cancea got back up.
The match was over and we had won. Although this was Kirlia's second loss.
"Hmph, I guess they aren't strong enough yet." Silver said as he turned and walked away.
"Geez what's his problem?" I asked out loud to no one in particular.
I decided to check on Kirlia at this point. She was still knocked out. So I went over to the newly propped tent and placed Kirlia inside. Then I let Vibrava out of his Pokeball. I checked them both over and used some potions on them. Once I was sure that they were okay, I returned them to their Pokeballs. Then I decided to go to the tent and tend to Kirlia. I gave her a revive to wake her up.
"Wha... What happened?" Kirlia asked coming to.
"We won." I said.
"Where is he?" Kirlia asked.
"Who?" I asked back.
"The other trainer." She replied.
"Oh he left a short while ago." I answered.
"Why didn't him leave?" She asked thinking about it. "I lost didn't I? She asked again looking down.
"Yeah, you did." I said.
"Oh? Oh well, it happens." She said.
"Are you at least feeling okay?" I asked as I sprayed her shoulders with some Super Potions.
"Yeah I'm feeling decent." she said.
"That's good, it looked bad I wanted to recall you, but you looked like you wanted to do what you could." I said as I looked away and slightly pulled down her dress to spray her chest as well.
"Thanks, I just don't know what's wrong with me." Kirlia said scratching the side of her head.
"You were probably just tired. Or he was just a strong trainer." I said.
"Yeah that's possible." She agreed as I laid down.
"I'm just shocked at the strength of his Zubat." I said as Kirlia cuddled up to me.
"Yeah it was strong, and really fast." She added.
"We'll probably figure that out in the future." I said.
"Yeah you're right." She agreed.
With that we cuddled up to each other kissed each other good night and went to sleep.
I woke up in the morning to what sounded like a battle. It seemed to wake Kirlia too.
"No more boom." Kirlia mumbled.
"Well you certainly have a way with words." I laughed at her.
"Yeah, yeah." She yawned while rubbing her eyes.
"You wanna go watch that battle?" I asked her.
"Sure, I'm up now so why not." She said.
We got up and pack up our tent quickly. We just decided to follow the explosion-like noises. I grabbed Kirlia's hand so I wouldn't risk losing her in her groggy state. After not too long, just like I thought we would, we came across two trainers battling. One had an Flaffy, while the other had a Houndoom. Although we had gotten there as it was just ending with the Flaffy winning.
We stood by and watched them. Then we were noticed.
"What do you want? The Flaffy trainer asked.
"Nothing, just watching." I said.
I noticed the Flaffy walking over.
"Flaffy where are you going?" It's trainer asked.
"Flaf?" I seemed to ask Kirlia.
"No, sorry, I'm taken." Kirlia said.
"Flaf Flaffy?" The Falffy seemed to ask again.
"Him." Kirlia said pointing toward me.
"Fla." It said as it turned to walk away.
"What were you doing to my Flaffy?" It's trainer asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"Then, why is it sad?" He asked.
"Because my Kirlia rejected it." I said.
"Oh really?" He said turning to Kirlia. "You got some nerve turning him down, you ain't much of a prize either." He said.
I grabbed Kirlia and picked her up. Then, I started walking away.
"We need to ignore him." I said. "He's wrong your beautiful."
"You still think so?" She asked holding on to me.
"Yes I do." I said.
"Hey I'm not done with you!" The Flaffy trainer said yelling at us while we ignored him.
"So, Tony where did the other trainer go?" Kirlia asked.
"Yeah, about that, I have no clue. I was gonna ask you." I said.
"I guess he sneaked away in the commotion." Kirlia said.
"Oh well." I sighed as we continued walking.
We started on the remaining hike to Violet City. It took a good six hours. So once we got there, we found a clearing and got lunch set up. I didn't want to make anyone wait any longer. So I let everyone out to eat. I sat up against a tree as everyone ate. I had a couple sandwiches for my self. The while sitting there. A certain Pokemon came and sat on my lap.
"Is this seat taken?" Kirlia asked sitting down.
"Now it is." I said starting on my second sandwich.
"The air here tastes so good. Especially compared to Rustboro." Kirlia said.
"Yeah, I could get used to this." I said.
"Yeah me too. She said.
We sat there and relaxed while the others mingled and hung out. l took this opportunity, to think about what to do in this region. I don't know much about Johto, the only place I really know anything about is Sinnoh. Only because of a vacation once in the past, but that's a story for another time.
I got snapped back to reality due to Kirlia vibrating slighty. I decided to look down at her and I noticed that she was sleeping. She looked so adorable like that I didn't want to my eyes off of her let alone wake her, so I let her sleep.
-Kirlia's Dream-
I was walking in an area just outside of a forest. I was right beside Tony holding his hand as we walked. Although I have know idea where we are. As we walked Tony stopped all of a sudden and it caught me off gaurd. So, I turned around to see what was going on.
"Tony, are you okay? Why'd you stop?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, no need to worry." He said with his usual smile.
"Okay, that's good. I got worried." I said smiling back.
"Oh yeah. There is something I wanted to ask you Kirlia." He said setting his bag in front of him.
"Yeah? What is it?" I asked now incredibly curious.
"It's a very important question." He said still digging though his bag.
"Come on don't do that to me. Just ask me. Haha. I hate this tension." I begged.
Just then he pulled out a tiny black case. "Ah here it is." He said.
Then he got down on one knee. Then he held the case out in front of him and opened it. Inside the case was a beautiful small spherical jewel looking thing.
"Tony what is this?" I asked not entirely sure.
"Kirlia will you marry me and be my mate forever?" He asked.
I was at a complete loss for words for a few seconds.
"Yes, I will!" I yelled finally.
I jumped into his arms and held on to him, holding him tightly, not wanting to let go. "I've been waiting so long to hear those words from you." I said to him as I started to glow a bright white. I was evolving! All according to my plan. I wanted to hold back my evolution until he asked that question. I was so happy everything was working out perfectly.
I felt My arms growing longer followed by my legs. My horns on my head sunk down and appeared on my chest and back. I felt my dress grow longer as well as my chest growing a little bit to. I felt some long glove like things grow on my arm while my hair grew a little bit and curled in the front. I became a Gardevoir although slightly different, still a Gardevoir. Then the light ended with a flash. Then I stood there right in front of him with a smile on my face.
"How does your new fiance look?" I asked nervously my hands held together behind my lower back.
"You look gorgeous, I'm almost at a loss for words." He said.
At that I jumped back at him and held onto him again, a smile on my face with tears flowing. I was so happy.
"I was so worried that you wouldn't like what I looked like after evolving." I said.
"Why would you ever think that?" He asked. "I'll always love you, with all my heart."
We shared a passionate kiss. After that phrase.
-Back to reality- -Kirlia's PoV-
A woke up a small smile on my face. That dream was amazing, the best one I ever remember having. I looked up to see Tony looking down at me with his own smile.
"This is the best way I've ever woken up too." I thought to myself.
"How'd you sleep, beautiful?" He asked.
At that I felt myself blush. "Really great." I said.
"I saw you sitting on my lap sleeping with a smile on your face, and it was the cutest ting ever. I was gonna wake you but didn't want to interrupt the dream you were having. Then it happened and then I just couldn't wake you." He said.
"What happened?" I asked entirely confused.
"You mean you don't know?" Tony asked me. "Look at yourself."
I stood up and felt taller. I looked down at myself and I was in shock. I had evolved in reality too. I saw Tony stand up, I'm now at his height, just about at least. He walked over to me and pulled me in to a tight hug.
"Earlier you were more cute then anything, but now, you are more beautiful then anyone I've ever seen before." He said to me.
As the tears fell from my face, he stood there holding me tighter still, and I loved every second of this embrace. The embrace the was followed by what is the most passionate kiss of my life.
I really hope you guys liked this chapter. I really enjoyed writing it. Especially the end, it wasn't planned this early but the moment felt right, especially after the dream. Anyway, thanks for all of your guys' continuous support
