Sup guys? Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Pokémon. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own Pokémon, Nintendo and a few others.

"You know, you act so mad, yet your so cute." One of the voices added while spinning her ultra-ball around her finger.

"You're the one who cheated to win that fight, Mel." The other voice added, leaning back on the spikes of the Lapris they sat upon.

The cold winds didn't bother him or his Pokémon. Considering they were ALL fire types? The flames probably didn't even bother them.

"It isn't my fault your Carkol fought Lappy." Mel stated, rubbing the side of her Pokémon.

"You told me it was going to be Volcarona vs your Frosmoth." The other voice stated and shook his head, ashy black hair spraying out from under his hood. "We only have 3 Pokémon each, Melody. You've forgot we only started this trip 3 days ago." The first voice said, his crimson eyes blinking as he looked at one of his Pokeballs.

Lapras continued down route 9, carrying both trainers aboard it's back.

Melody looked at her boyfriend, both 13-year-old trainers had decided to tour Galar. Afton or 'Affy' as Melody often playfully called him? Sat on her Lapras's back, curious as to what his girlfriend would do next.

The two differed in some ways, her being eager to battle and rather ruthless in battle. Him being more curious about fighting and playful. Their choice in Pokémon also differed, her choosing her beloved ice types and he as always favoring fire.

"You cheated first~…" Melody stated playfully as she leaned on Afton who shook his head and avoided her eyes.

"Which Pokémon did you pick again?" Afton questioned, looking at his own Pokeball a moment later. "I picked Carkol, Volcarona, and Charmeleon." Afton stated, spinning the Pokeball around his finger.

"Your using the one I got you for your birthday?" Melody asked, fluttering her eyelashes as she did so.

"Mel…" Afton stated as he looked to the side. "Yes. You kept telling me how great the little guy was and all the misery you had to endure for him… Only figured it was right for me to take care of him." Afton added and rubbed at his eyes.

His heavy black coat protected him from the cold while his crimson boots, pants, and black gloves helped protect his body further.

"You know I got you a Pokémon as well." Afton said as he shook his head and yawned. "Not officially yet, the stuff is still going through the paperwork part." Afton added sheepishly and wrung his hands.

Melody smiled despite herself. Afton was always a sweetheart to her. It was one of the things that warmed her heart. She patted her Lapris on the head and scooted closer to her boyfriend as she did so.

"Lappy of course, Frosmoth, and Wartortle." Melony replied as she smiled.

"Oh, so it did get through the paperwork." Afton stated before his girlfriend rolled her eyes.

"You're thinking of our anniversary gifts coming up, doofus." Melony stated as she elbowed Afton on the shoulder. "We promised each other 4 Pokémon with the other 2 slots open for gifts or such… You forgot again." Melony added and smirked despite herself.

"You're the one who left me to do most of the packing." Afton added as he shook his head. "If I didn't have Carkol help me? We'd still be behind on packing." Afton put in with amusement tainting his tone.

Melony said nothing, simply savoring their time together. She knew they'd both find the Pokémon they wanted here. While gyms were on their mind? The couple simply wanted to see their home region, not an unreasonable request when it came down to it.

Plus, it wasn't like they hadn't TRIED to plan this thing out. The two teenagers had put their resources together and their parents had approved of it… Mainly because both seemed to want grandkids and such. It made Melony blush despite herself as Afton brought up the map to look over.

"We should head to Spikemuth next." Afton stated, pointing a gloved finger at the map in question as he did so. "Unless you'd like to try and find another nearby town?" Afton asked and simply got a shrug.

He sighed as Melony hung to his arm. This would be a LONG quest for the couple.

But as long as they had each other? They REALLY didn't care much.
