-Tony's PoV-
My beautiful Kirlia, I saw her sleeping on my lap. She was sitting there with a smile on her face and she looked so adorable. But no longer. But then the unimaginable happened. She evolved mid slumber right here. I didn't think that could happen. But, it did. Even now she is even more beautiful then ever before. But even now, she looks disappointed.
"Kirl... I mean, Gardevoir, what's wrong? What just happened is amazing, I'd think you would be happy." I said trying to soothe her.
"I'm upset because, this wasn't supposed to happen yet." She said.
"What do you mean?" I asked now very confused.
"I was holding back my evolution." She said softly.
"But why?" I asked.
"I wanted to wait until you asked me to be your life mate." Gardevoir said.
"You were?" I asked.
"Yeah. I wanted to show you my answer to your proposal by evolving. I thought that would be the best way." She said.
"Why did it happen then?" I asked.
"My dream is why." She answered.
"In my dream, exactly what happened is what I wanted. I evolved right after you asked." Gardevoir told me.
"So that's why you were smiling." I said.
"I was?" She asked blushing.
"Yeah and you were so adorable." I said.
"I was?" She asked again.
"Yeah." I said holding her for a little bit.
"I'm kind of happy to be taller honestly." She said after a little bit.
"Why's that?" I asked.
"Easier to hold your hand. And, I can still kisses easier if want to." Gardevoir said with a wink.
"That's cute." i said with a slight chuckle.
"Hey don't laugh at my hopes." She said.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." I said regaining my composure. "So, anyway, do you want to give your new evolution a try?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"This would be a perfect time to challenge the gym leader." I said.
"Sure." She answered.
By now the others have all gathered to look at our newly evolved team mate. I let them all talk while I packed everything up. They all seemed happy for her. This also seemed to help cheer her up, so that made me happier too. Clean up never takes too long, that always makes me happy, so once done I went back over to the group.
"Alright, time to go." I said as I recalled everyone to their Pokeballs.
"Aw already?" She asked fake whining."
"Yep." I answered.
"Okay then." She said jumping over and holding on to my arm.
"Well someone's a lot happier." I said.
"Yep." She said as we started walking.
"How come?" I asked.
"Well what's done is done. So, no point in being upset over something that can't be changed." Gardevoir said.
"Okay that's good." I said.
"What's good?" She asked.
"That you decided come to terms with your evolution." I said.
"Well that and I realized that I can do this easier." She said holding my arm tighter.
"Haha, yeah you can." I said laughing again.
"Hey, stop laughing at me." She whined.
"I can't, your pouting face is so adorable." I said laughing more.
"Oh, you... I don't know if I should be happy about the compliment, or upset that you enjoy making me pout." She said getting confused.
"Eh, just take the compliment." I said.
"If you say so." She said pecking my cheek.
"I see you're taking full advantage of you height in that way.
"Yep, you bet. I couldn't do it earlier because as a Kirlia, I was too short. But, now I'm not." Gardevoir said with a big smile on her face.
After another five minutes or so, we made it to the gym. We were ready.
"So this guy's name is apparently Falkner. And he supposedly uses Flying types." I informed her.
"Okay." Gardevoir said.
"I'm also going to have Igglybuff out of her ball so she can watch the battle. I want her to learn what to do." I said.
"Okay,' She said giving me a thumbs-up.
"First off though, you just evolved so I need to check your moves before we go in." I said pulling out my Pokedex and pointing it at her.
"Okay, do your thing." She said.
"Okay so, it looks like you are level 41 and you learned Psychic in place of Confusion and Future Sight in place of Psybeam." I said.
"Yep, that sounds about right." She said.
"Wait you know this already?" I asked.
"Well not my level, but I know my own attacks." She said.
"Oh okay, that makes. sense I said.
At that I let Igglybuff out of her ball and told her to come inside with us.
"Hello, and welcome to my gym." Said a blue haired man.
"Your gym, so that means you must be Falkner." I said.
"That is correct." Falkner said. "So, I take it you're all ready?"
"Yes we are." I said turning to Igglybuff.
"Mommy is going to battle. So, I want you to watch, okay?" I asked her.
She replied with a nod.
"Okay let's go." I said.
"I couldn't agree more. Go Pidgey!" Falkner called.
"Okay then go Gardevoir." I said.
"Pidgey, use Sand-Attack!" Falkner called.
"Gardevoir, use Psychic." I said.
I saw Pidgey turn around and kick sand at Gardevoir, but she used Psychic to catch the sand and throw it to the side.
"Okay then, Pidgey use Mud-Slap." Flanker called.
"Use Disarming Voice!" I called out.
The mud that Pidgey kicked up, it hit Gardevoir in the chest. Then, Gardevoir opened her mouth and let out that same deafining screech from earlier. Poor Pidgey, it was already down, I felt bad.
"Wow, you're a strong one. Pidgey return!" Falkner said recalling Pidgey and grabbing another Pokeball. "Go Pidgeotto!"
At that we saw Pidgey's evolved form come out.
"Pidgeotto, use Gust!" Falkner called.
"Use Psychic!" I called.
At that Pidgeotto flapped its wings forcing up some semi-strong winds in a twister type fashion. As it hit Gardevoir it caused enough force to make her dress flutter. Then her eyes turned blue as Pidgeotto was enveloped in a layer of blue light then after a flash, it fell down, knocked out.
"Alright then, that settles it." Falkner said.
"That's all of your Pokemon?" I asked.
"Yep, I've only got the two. Besides, it's obvious that your on a whole different level. But, either way, here's your badge." Falkner said.
"Thanks" I said as I took the badge.
I then picked up Igglybuff in one arm, took Gardevoir's hand with my other and left. I kind of felt bad for those two Pokemon, they were so low leveled, and we just destroyed them. I hope we didn't kill their will to battle. But, I shrugged it off and went to the Pokemon Center. It was starting to get late, so I decided to get a room for the night.
Once we got to the Pokemon Center and checked into our room, I let everyone out and got their dinner ready. I got something for Gardevoir too. But my appetite just wasn't here, so I didn't get myself anything.
"Tony? Are you okay? Your not eating." Gardevoir asked.
"Yeah I'm fine I just don't seem to have an appetite." I replied.
"Are you sure?" She asked again moving closer to me. "You seem like you're thinking about something."
"Yeah, I guess you could say that." I said.
"It's not me, is it?" She asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked back.
"You don't like my evolution, and don't like me anymore." Gardevoir said.
"Never. That'll never be the case." I said grabbing her hand and looking at her. "I'll always love you, with all my heart."
Gardevoir then put her food down and lunged at my crying.
"Hey, hey, why are you crying?" I asked.
"You said that same exact thing in my dream." She said.
"I guess it must be true then." I said holding her."
"That's good." Gardevoir said.
After that she took a couple minutes to calm down while I held on to her.
"Thank you." She said.
"For what?" I asked.
"For being there, and for being you." She said as she sat back up.
"No need for thanks, I'll always be there." I said.
"Thank you again." She said as she picked her plate back up.
"So, what was on your mind anyway?" Gardevoir asked.
"The battle earlier, I feel bad for those two Pokemon, they were so under leveled." I said. "I just hope we didn't kill battling for them."
"Oh, okay." She said. "Don't worry about that. They will be fine. Flying types especially love their challenges."
"Okay, that's good." I said now hearing my stomach growl.
"Well, well, looks like someone is hungry." Gardevoir chuckled. "Say ahhh." She said moving a fork towards me.
"No, no, I'll go get some food." I said laughing.
"Aww, am I not allowed to feed my mate?" She asked pouting.
"No I just want to feed myself right now." I said laughing some more.
"Why are you always laughing at me?" She asked.
"Because your always doing adorable things that I don't expect." I said.
"Hmph, fine go get your own food then." She pouted.
"Okay, I will." I said. "I'll be right back."
"Okay, don't be long." She said taking a bite of her food.
I went over to the Pokemart to get something to eat.
"Dang, she is so adorable, how did I get so lucky?" I asked to myself.
"Hmm, what to get?" I asked my self when I got to the Pokemart.
"Oh, there!" I said to myself now excited that I found some frozen burritos.
"Too bad there isn't an open Mexican place. I could really use a good fresh burrito. Oh well." I shrugged my dreams away and headed back to my room.
"Yay, your back." Gardevoir said. "I missed you."
"I was only gone like 10 minutes." I said.
"So, I still missed you for those 10 minutes." She said.
"I love you so much." I said as I put my burritos in the microwave.
After I ate, we both laid down.
"This is gonna be a little different." I said.
"How so?" Gardevoir asked.
"Well, you just evolved today. So now, you're taller. It'll just be a little different." I explained.
"Oh okay." She said as we cuddled up to each other.
"Good night Tony, I love you." Gardevoir said.
"Good night Gardevoir, I love you too." I said.
At that, we both started to drift to sleep.
The next morning, I awoke to an abnormal weight on my chest. I moved my head the most I could right away, to see what it was. I freaked out internally for a second or two, but then I realized that Kirlia had evolved into Gardevoir the day before. Her habit of laying on me would be where the extra weight is coming from.
"Hey, Gardevoir, wake up please." I said gently shaking her.
"Aww, fie more minis..." She slurred.
"Please, it's hard to breathe like this." I said shaking her more.
"Muhh, nooo." She whinned.
"Fine then." I said pushing her off to my side.
"Nooo!" My bed." She said putting her arms above her.
"Look you can't be laying on top of me like that any more." I said starting to sit up.
"Why not?" She asked.
"You evolved and got bigger, so your heavier now. I was having trouble breathing." I said.
"Oh. I'm sorry." She said.
"It's fine. I can handle your head on me or something similar, but not your whole self on me." I said.
"Okay love." She said smiling.
"Okay then lets get up and get some breakfast, we got some travel time ahead of us." I told her.
"Oh food... okay!" Gardevoir said getting happier.
At that, I got changed into clean clothes and then we went outside and got breakfast ready for the others. Then gardevoir and I ate.
"Um Tony, what are those?" Gardevoir asked.
"Pop Tarts." I said.
"Those look nasty." She said.
"I can assure you that they aren't." I said.
"Can I go with Pokemon food today?" She asked.
"Sure." I said. giving her a bowl and filling it.
I watched the others eat as I savor the taste of my Pop Tarts. I know that they are supposed to be toasted but, have you ever tried them without doing so? They are still pretty good. And they are easy and quick.
After breakfast we started on our way. I let every one except Sharpedo stay out. It's tough on him to move around let alone keep up without water. So, I called him back for now. After that though, the Pokeball sparked and started to glow a bright white. Then, it just disappeared.
"Huh, what? Where did it go?" I asked myself starting to freak out.
"What happened?" Kirlia asked.
"Sharpedo's Pokeball disappeared after a recalled him." I said looking on the ground.
"Vibrava brava vibrava." I heard from Vibrava.
"Translation?" I asked Gardevoir.
"Count how many of us there are." Gardevoir said.
"Okay." I said as I went to count everyone.
Gardevoir, Vibrava, Igglybuff, Cacnea, Fletchinder, Swampert... Then it hit me. I had seven Pokemon with me.
"Hmm..." I hummed thinking. "Oh yeah. I went to deposit someone but never did. I've had seven of you with me since then. I guess this had to happen at some point. Thanks Vibrava." I said turning to Vibrava.
"Vibrava." He said.
I looked at Gardevoir.
"He said your welcome." She said.
"Thanks hun." I said.
With that we continued on our way after about three hours, we came to a cave. I recalled everyone so we wouldn't get separated. Then I held Gardevoir's hand as we started. As soon as we entered, a trainer challenged us.
"Go, Onix!" The trainer called throwing a Pokeball.
"Go, Swampert!" I called back throwing a Pokeball.
"Onix, use Rock Throw!" The trainer called.
"Swampert, use Earthquake." I said.
At that I saw Onix grab rocks with his tail and throw them at Swampert who countered by jumping up and slamming back down hard. The whole ground shook and crumbled underneath Onix, causing rubble to strike him and knock him out.
"Are you for real?" The trainer asked handing over the money.
"Yeah, but just so you know, she is stronger." I said pointing to Gardevoir.
"Okay, then." The guy said returning Onix and leaving for a Pokemon Center.
"I don't like this." Gardevoir said as we walked.
"What?" I asked.
"We are too strong." She said.
"You gotta think we already had three badges. Then, all of that crap happened so you probably got more experience there. And now we are here and kind of started over." I explained.
"What do you mean?" Gardevoir asked.
"We should only have one badge right now. But we have four. We are ahead no matter what way you look at it." I further explained.
"Oh okay. I guess it doesn't matter so long as I have you." She said grabbing my whole arm and kissing me.
"I'm glad your taking advantage of your new height." I said.
"Me too." She said. "Oh yeah, Tony, I noticed that your starting to grow a beard. I like it."
"I have a little bit of fuzz, but it's not much." I said.
"I still like it though." Gardevoir said.
"Thanks hun." I said as we continued walking.
After about an hour and two more battles later, we made it out of the cave. I looked up at the sky to check on our daylight, or in this case, lack there-of.
"Wow, I can't believe it's already getting dark out. I complained.
"Yeah." Gardevoir said.
"Anyway, we have about an hour left until we're in town. And you know what that means, right?" I asked.
"A bed tonight?" She asked back.
"Exactly." I said.
After about forty minutes, I saw what looked like a well. I heard noise and saw guys in dark clothing climbing out of it and running away. I decided to ignore it.
"That's weird." I said.
"Yeah, but are we just gonna let them do their thing?" Gardevoir asked.
"Yep, besides, it's just about dinner time so let's get that taken care of, shall we?" I asked.
"Yay," she cheered.
"Well, I'll take that as a yes." I said as we got set up.
We were all happy for now sitting down to eat. But, that all changed, we got surrounded by about ten of those guys in dark clothes.
"Hand over your Pokemon and things won't have to get dirty." One of them said as I kept eating.
"Hey we're talking to you." Another said. shouting at me.
"You are? You must be mistaken." I asked.
"No, we are Team Rocket and we are here for your Pokemon. So, are you going to hand them over?" The first one asked.
"Absolutely not." I said.
"Then we're gonna take them." A third one said reaching for Fletchinder.
"Fletchinder, use Ember." I said as Fletchinder spat flames at the Rocket member who stepped back holding his hand that got hit.
Then all ten of them threw up Pokeballs. There were two Rattata, three Zubats, two Houndours, a Krabby, a Corsola, and a Beedrill.
"Let's make this fast okay?" I asked. "We are all hungry."
"Are you for real kid?" One of them asked/
"Cacnea, Pin Missle on the Rattata; Fletchinder, Razor Wind on the Beedrill; Vibrava, Rock Slide on the Zubats; Swapmert, Mud Shot on the Houndours; Gardevoir, Psychic on the Krabby and Corsola." I called.
Everyone let off their attacks and the opposing Pokemon were down. It was that easy.
"Okay can we get back to eating now?" I asked.
"You think you'll get off that easy?" I heard from behind the Rockets.
A duo stepped forward. A blue haired guy and a red haired girl. Their uniforms were white so I assumed that they were higher.
"Are you serious?" I asked.
"Yes now prepare for a real battle." The guy said as they threw their Pokeballs up.
They sent out an Arbok and a Weezing. So I sent Swampert and Gardevoir.
"Weezing sludge!" The guy called.
"Arbok, Poison Sting!" The girl called.
"Swampert, Mud Shot! Gardevoir, Psychic." I called.
I watched the sludge hit Swampert, not doing much as his Mud Shot knocked out Weezing. However, the Poison Sting from Arbok was hitting its mark on Gardevoir. I watched her force out a Psychic on Arbok knocking it out. But after that she fell to her knees.
"This won't be the last you see of us." The rockets said as they turned to run.
"Gardevoir are you okay?" I asked helping her up.
"Yeah, I'm fine, it just hurt more than I expected." She said.
"How about you Swampert? Are you okay?" I asked him as he nodded his head.
"How about the rest of you?" I asked as the all responded the same.
Just as we sat back down to eat, I heard a voice. One that I really didn't want to hear.
I'm gonna end it here for now. It's 6:30am right now and I'm tired. I hope you guys like it as much as I liked writing it. Please let me know what you like or don't like, any criticism will help me to better myself. Thank you and again, enjoy.
