Episode 140: Kiawe's Romance
Several days have passed since Poipole had evolved into a Naganadel. And since then, the group had some wild adventures on the way.
Like one day, they were passing through a city with so many of the local kids with a Dunsparce of their own. All except for one kid named Timothy. The group managed to help him catch a Dunsparce and enter a Dunsparce race to see which one is the fastest.
After leaving the town, Sora came across a wild Dunsparce just outside the town.
"Looks like I'm about to have a Dunsparce of my own," Sora said, grinning. Kairi giggled.
"I can tell that you want one for yourself since coming here," Kairi said teasingly. Sora sheepishly scratched the back of his head.
"When in Rome, do what the Romans do, right?" Sora asked.
"Okay. Go for it," Kairi said. With that settled, Sora looked over to Pikachu.
"Okay Pikachu! Go!" Sora said.
"Pika!" Pikachu nodded. Pikachu stood in front of the land snake Pokémon and it huffed up and flapped its wings. "Quick Attack!" Pikachu ran right towards the wild Dunsparce, but it avoids Pikachu and stopped flapping its wings for a Body Slam attack! "Dodge!" Pikachu manages to dodge. Dunsparce then charges at Pikachu with a Dragon Rush, but Pikachu manages to avoid it. "Thunderbolt!" Pikachu fired a Thunderbolt and it shocks Dunsparce right on the spot. "Now use Iron Tail!" Pikachu swung his metalized tail right at the land snake Pokémon. Sora threw a Pokéball and it struck Dunsparce, and it flows inside. The Pokéball wobbles around for about a few seconds. Kairi and the Alolan nine waited to see if the capture was successful. Stars swirls around the Pokéball confirming the catch. Sora's Pokédex starts buzzing asking him if he wants to keep Dunsparce or send it to Professor Oak's lab. Sora chose to send Dunsparce to Professor Oak for now. "Another successful capture."
"Pi, Pikachu!" Pikachu chirped.
"I'll say it is," Kairi said. She gave her boyfriend a kiss on the cheek, making him blush.
A couple of days later, Sora had acessed his Pokédex and exchanged Quilava, Croconaw, Gliscor, and Naganadel for Teddiursa, Aipom, Marill, and Kabuto.
"Okay. This'll do," Sora said. He turned to his girlfriend. "Hey Kairi. You need to make switches to your team?"
"No. I think I'm good for now," Kairi said. "Thanks for asking though."
"You're welcome," Sora said. He and his girlfriend kisses each other on the lips. As the couple kisses each other, they completely forgot aout their friends being present.
"Here they go again," Sophocles said.
"I think it's very sweet," Mallow said.
"Yeah," Mina said.
"I'm gonna admit, that I'm very jealous of those two. If only I was in Kairi's shoes, with a such a great boyfriend like Sora," Lana said.
"But, you're dreamboat would be a tad more mature than Sora," Hapu said jokingly. The Alolan nine pretty much laughed, but except for Kiawe.
Kiawe sighs and looks to the ground. Lillie quickly took notice and went up to her comrade.
"Is something wrong, Kiawe?" Lillie asked.
"No. Nothing's wrong," Kiawe lied. "Really."
Lillie clearly wasn't buying it.
"Are you sure, Kiawe?" Lillie asked.
"I'm sure. Sure as I'll ever be. Let's leave at that," Kiawe said.
"You might as well tell me because, it'll make you feel better to get it off your chest. I can promise you that," Lillie assured the Fire Type trainer. Kiawe looked at the blonde and sighed.
"Oh, okay. It's my mom," Kiawe said.
"What about her?" Lillie asked.
"Just when we made a stop at a Pokémon Center just a few days ago to have my grandfather's Charizard brought over here to help out, she asked me if I had a girlfriend yet," Kiawe said.
"Is that it?" Lillie asked.
"I just never had the chance to find one because we've been traveling around for so long, and even if I was back on Akala Island helping out with my family, I wouldn't have time to do so. I just think she's trying to tell me to find a nice girlfriend and bring her home to meet her," Kiawe said. Lillie started to put two and two together.
"Is that it? Are you jealous of Sora and Kairi? Are you jealous that they're the only ones who are a couple?" Lillie asked.
"Well, yes and no," Kiawe said. "I'll admit I am a tad jealous of those two for being so lovey dovey all the time, but there's a down side to that."
"What?" Lillie asked.
"Embarrassing baby photos," Kiawe said bluntly. Lillie understood what he meant. She rememered seeing Sora's mom showing Kairi some of Sora's baby photos to her and everything. "If that ever happens, I will know how he feels more than I already do."
"I'm sure it won't be that bad," Lillie said trying to make him feel better.
"No. It might be just as worse," Kiawe said. "I don't wanna to let her down, but I don't know if there is a right girl for me."
"I know there is, Kiawe. And I will say Sora is incredibly handsome, but so are you. I can guarantee that there are some ladies who would love to be paired up with you," Lillie said.
That really made Kiawe feel so much better and he was glad to have a friend like her. It was true that he is a looker and he did notice some young ladies eyeing him, since he is mostly seen shirtless. Kiawe smiled happily.
"Thanks Lillie. I really do appreciate it," Kiawe said.
"Anything for a friend," Lillie said.
"And do you think we can keep this between us? Just for now?" Kiawe asked.
"Of course," Lillie said.
Unknown to the two of them, Acerola and Mina was listening to what they were talking about. Not risking getting caught eavesdropping, they rushed back to the group, setting up to get going.
Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Togepi, the Pichu, and the Alolan nine have been traveling all day and now i was getting late, and they need to find a place to stop for the night.
"Did you figure out where the Pokémon Center is yet, Illima?" Mallow asked.
"Not yet," Illima said.
"I hope you find one soon, because my feet are getting blister the size of a Steelix," Sophocles said.
"Of course I feel fine. But, I will admit that I could use a rest myself," Hapu said.
Sora spots a woman wearing a red business suit and went up to her.
"Excuse me there, miss. Do you know where we can find the Pokémon Center?" Sora asked.
"Pokémon Center?" The woman asked.
"Yeah," Sora nodded. "My friends and I have been traveling all day and we need to find the nearest Pokémon Center before it gets dark. So, we were wondering if you know where that was, maybe?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm afraid that there isn't a Pokémon Center in this town. There is one just ten miles away in the next town," the woman said. Sora hung his head in defeat and sighed.
"We've been on our feet all day," Lana said.
"And that's way too far," Acerola said.
"Where are going to be for tonight?" Mallow asked.
"I don't think we have a choice, but to hit the park for the night," Sora said. Sora turned to the woman.
"I know where that is. You will have to head down that way," she pointed in the direction she came. "Just walk down straight and make a turn on your left. There's a fountain right there. You can't miss it."
"Thanks," Sora said. The group took off in the direction she pointed them to. The group had made it to the park to rest for the night. Kiawe was getting some water while Kairi was setting up to make some dinner for them.
"So glad we came to this park. Especially when it has good clean running water," Kiawe said to himself. He turned his head when he spotted a Nidorina running up to the fountain for a drink. "Hey, a Nidorina. She started to drink the water happily. A young woman wearing a young woman with aquamarine hair and indigo eyes wearing a yellow shirt, red vest, and a red skirt. She also wore an orange bowtie and a yellow bow on her head. She also wore red shoes and white socks. She was running up to her Nidorina.
"Hey! Come on, Nidorina! We have to go home!" The young woman called out. Kiawe turned off the water and saw her coming. He had to assume this is Nidorina's trainer. She trips on a rock in her path and Kiawe tosses the water, splashing Hapu.
"Look out!" Kiawe called out, cathing her.
"What the hell is the big idea, Kiawe?!" Hapu exclaimed. She turned to yell at him, but he saw why he did that.
"You almost fell in," Kiawe said.
"Yeah, thanks a-AAH!" The young woman gasped lovestruck. Her face had a tinge of pink on her cheeks. She felt her heart beating faster than a drum and she looked right into his eyes and they sparkled to her.
"It sure was a good thing I was right here to catch you," Kiawe said.
"Oh yes! It was the luckiest thing ever! My name is Temacu! And what is the name of the dashing hero who have saved me?" Temacu asked her savior.
"Well, Temacu. My name is Kiawe," he said.
"I love that name! And I love the man it belongs to!" Temacu said lovingly. Kiawe was getting weired out by this.
Sora and Kairi both laughed when they remembered a certain Gym Leader who once flirted with Nurse Joy and the same one from a parallel universe who just happen to flirt with Aqua and was about to flirt with Princess Cosmea.
"Why does this scene look so familiar?" Sora whispered to hi girlfirend.
"I don't know, Sora. It just does," Kairi whispered back.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"Toge, Toge," Togepi chirped.
"Pichu," the Shiny Pichu chirped.
"Chu, Pi, Pichu," the spiky-eared Pichu also chirped.
"The name Temacu come from a combination of names from Pokémon that match my personality. The Te comes from cute Teddiursa, the Ma comes from super-coated Mareep, and the Cu from the lonely little Cubone. That's why my name is Temacu," she explained.
"That must be very nice for you," Kiawe said nervously.
"Your name should have been 'Exbracloy. You wanna knw why?" Temacu asked.
"No, but I have a feeling you're about to tell me," Kiawe said.
"I'll be very glad to explain it. You're tough on the outside just like Exeggcute. You're so brainy and handsome just like Abra, and you beautiful on the isde, just like the beautiful pearl inside Cloyster," Temacu sai. She took him by the hand. "But, you don't have to change your first name just for me, Kiawe. I'll be glad to change my last name."
"You don't have to do that for me," Kiawe said. She just ignoed that last part, feeling lost by her love for Kiawe.
"I can just picture it now. You wearing a pure white tuxedo and me wearing a pale pink wedding gown," Temacu said, lost in fantasy.
Kiawe's friends just watched the scene.
"Wow. Just imagine Kiawe married to her," Sophocles said.
"You know Sora and Kairi will be married someday," Mallow whispered to Lana. The bluenette chuckled a bit. They both imagined the couple in the wedding clothes Temachu was talking about. The Alolan girls being braidsmaids, wearing pink gowns.
They then fast forward further to Sora and Kairi strolling through a park with Sora pushing the baby carriage.
"Oh look at our son, Sora! He looks so much like you," Kairi cooed.
"Yeah, but he has your good looks," Sora said to her. The Alolan girls all gathered around the baby who has his mother's hair and his father's hairstyle. They started to coo over how cute the baby is. Their fantasy is interrupted by Hapu snapping her fingers.
"Cut that out!" Hapu told them.
A man with mahagony hair and indigo eyes wearing a turqouise shirt and brown pants, brown shoes also wearing a white lab coat.
"So glad I found you. You ready to go?" The man asked.
"I'm glad you're here, daddy. I want you to meet Kiawe," Temacu introduced him.
"Hello Kiawe. It's very nice to meet you,' Temacu's father greeted. He saw the tents on the side of him. "Do any of these tents belong to you?"
"Yes sir. There isn't a Pokémon Center in town, so we decided to camp out here for the night," Sora said.
"I have an idea. Kiawe, how about you come over to our house," Temacu offered. "Please daddy! Can they stay, please?"
"Sure. They're more than welcome to stay," Temacu's father nodded.
"Thanks very much," Sora said, gratefully. "At least we won't wake up to hear sprinklers hitting the tents in the morning."
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
The group made their way down to the father and daughter's house with the daughter clinging to Kiawe's arm the whole way over.
Once inside, Sora, Kairi, and the Alolan nine were amazed by the numbers of Pokémon that were all staying there.
"Wow. There's a lot of Pokémon here. Not as much as Professor Oak's, but still it's a lot," Sora said.
"That's because daddy does his research here at home," Temacu said.
"In other words, it's a Pokémon laboratory," Kairi said. Temachu's father laughed.
"I suppose you can call it that," Temacu's father said. "I'm going to be very busy here, so please make yourselves right at home."
It didn't take long for the group to get settled. Temacu had prepared quite a spread of food, enough for everyone. Her Nidorina even helped out with the Pokémon food. Pikachu, Togepi, and the Pichu joined the female poison pin Pokémon for the meal, while Sora, Kairi, and the Alolan nine enjoyed the dinner Temacu made.
"I hope you all enjoyed the dinner I made. I was thinking of Kiawe the whole time I was making it," Temacu said.
"It tastes great! Kairi is no slouch when it comes to cooking. She pretty much thinks of Sora whenever she does," Acerola said.
"Yeah," Mina said.
Kairi blushed a bit to the complement Acerola had given her.
"Well, they say that the best way to win a man's heart is through his stomach," Illima said.
"So, tell me, Kiawe. Do you like it?" Temacu asked.
"Yeah. It tastes great," Kiawe said, swallowing his meal.
After dineer, they stepped out into the balcony to have some refreshments just outside.
"So, Kiawe is from Akala Island in the Alola region?" Temacu asked.
"Yes. It's the same for the rest of us. Sora and Kairi are from Kanto," Illima said.
"And I gotta tell you, Kiawe is an ace when it comes to Fire Type Pokémon," Sora said.
"So, how is it that you all met?" Temacu asked.
"Most of us happens to be old classmates at the Pokémon school on Mele Mele Island. Professor Kukui happens to be one of the teachers there," Lillie said.
"On days he's off from school, he helps out with his family's farm," Lana said.
"Wow! He workds on a farm?" Temacu asked interested.
"He does. The place is pretty amazing. There were so much Tauros, Miltank, and Mudbray there. More than I could even count," Kairi said. "And the Moomoo Milk there is pretty tasty." She remembered getting a taste of the ice cream there.
"What do you do there, Kiawe?" Temacu asked.
"I mostly make some delieveries. I use my grandfather's Charizard to get to island to island to make the delieveries to the stores and shops," Kiawe said.
"Oh wow! I can just imagine riding on your grandfather's Chrizard! It'll be just like a fairy tale. I can't wait to meet your grandfather someday," Temacu said. Kiawe sighed.
"Actually you can, because he passed away a long time ago," Kiawe said. Temacu looked over to him.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Temacu said.
"It's okay. You didn't know," Kiawe said. "I was pretty lucky to have a grandfather like him, because he was my grandfather. He inspired me into training Fire Type Pokémon."
"Really?" Kairi asked.
"I ddidn't know that," Sora said.
"Well, that's because I didn't tell you," Kiawe said. "And when he died, he left his Charizard to me. I left him behind at home, so my mom transferred him over to me." He took out Charizard's Pokéball.
Not too far away, an Ultra Wormhole had opned up and a Nihilego had come out. The Ultra Beast looks around to its surroundings and floated around.
On the very next morning, Temacu's father had shown their guests around the grounds.
"Wow. This is cool. Just how many Pokémon do you have so far?" Sora asked.
"I have about fifty Pokémon. I'm planning to expand my lab, so I could be able to have more than a hundred," Temacu's father said.
"With all those Pokémon, it'll be nice to have an assistant," Temacu said.
"Yes, that's true. I'll need help," Temacu's father said.
"Kiawe's family has a farm on Akala Island and he'll be super-helpful around here," Temacu said. "He even attened the Pokémon school in Mele Mele Island, so he'll be perfect to help out in the Pokémon lab."
"Perfect?" Kiawe asked.
"Don't you think it'll be great, spending everyday working with daddy side-by-side just so we can get to know each other better and better?" Temacu asked.
"Maybe?" Kiawe answered with a question. Sora and Kairi shook their heads, knowing it'll end up being bad for him.
"I don't know if he can survive all that love Temacu is gonna dish out to him," Sora said.
"I throw all kinds of love at you all the time, and you made it okay," Kairi said.
"That's because, I didn't act like a silly Aipom like Brock did," Sora said.
"So, Kiawe, if you had a Nidorino, we might raise both him and Nidorina together," Temacu said.
"That's great, but I don't have a Nidorino," Kiawe said. She giggles.
"Don't worry about that, because I already raised one ahead of time," Temacu said. "Come on out, Nidorino!" Her Nidorino came out of the shrubs and Temacu places Nidorina down just so they could nuzzle each other. "Aren't they cute? Isn't it nice to see love like this? I think we can learn a lesson from them."
"Maybe, I guess," Kiawe said. He really didn't know what to do. He thought about the talk he had with Lillie about not having a girlfriend and being a tad envious at Sora and Kairi since they're in a relationship themselves. He had to at least give her a chance.
Just then, Nihilego came floating around and the group all gasped to the sight they all saw.
"Is that what I think it is?" Sophocles asked.
"No way!" Hapu exclaimed.
Memories of her being nearly abducted by Nihilego began to flow back to her and she remembered the nightmares she used to have about it.
"Nihilego," Lillie said worried.
"What kind of Pokémon is this?" Temacu's father asked.
"It's Nihilego. It's an Ultra Beast," Sora said. He took out the communicator and it starts going off. He activates it and Lusamine appears on the screen. "Funny you should call. I was about to contact you."
"Then you know what is at stake! The Ultra Beast has been identified as Nihilego. An Ultra Wormhole has been opened just last night and our sources has just picked it up," Lusamine said. "It is important that you capture it at once!"
"We'll get started right now!" Sora said. The turns off the communicator and pulls out his Pokédex. He sends over Croconaw in exchange for Silvally. Onve that was done, he threw his Premier Ball. "Go for it, Silvally!" The Premier Ball opens and Silvally roars upon entry. Sora gave it a Ground Type Memory since Poison Type and Rock Type Pokémon are weak against Ground Type Pokémon. "Move in with Multi-Attack!" Silvally charges right towards the Ultra Beast, but it dodges the chimeric Pokémon with ease. Nihilego fires a Power Gem right at Silvally. The attack strikes the synthetic Pokémon hard. Kiawe took out his grandfather's Charizard's Pokéball and threw it.
"Okay Charizard! Let's go!" Kiawe shouted. The Pokéball opens and Charizard roars upon entry. "Charizard! Aerial Ace!" Charizard flew in the air and adrted towards the Ultra Beast, striking it. "Now use Fire Punch!" Charizard's fist emitted fire and threw the feiry punch to land a hit, but Nihilego's tentacles wrapes around Charizard's arm and sends the flame Pokémon right to the ground. Nihilego squeezes Charizard's arm. "It's using Constrict!"
"Nidorina! Poison Sting!" Temacu ordered. Nidorina fired Poison Sting right at the Ultra Beast, but it stood there and took the hits from her. Nihilego sends out a large drop of purple acid right at Nidorina, hitting her.
"Was that Acid Spray?" Sophocles asked.
"That's exactly what it was," Hapu said.
Nihilego fires another Power Gem right at the group. The dust picks up and Temacu is knocked out from the battle.
"Temacu!" Her father gasped. Kiawe also gasped in horror to what he just witnessed.
"That thing is tough! Tougher I remember," Sophocles said.
"Please don't remind me about what happened when we were in there," Lana said. She didn't like seeing Lusamine merged with an Ultra Beast one bit since it abducted her when the real target was Lillie.
Silvally manages to get back up on its feet. Kairi placed Togepi on the ground and took out her Pokéballs to battle Nihlego.
"Raichu! Cubone! Miltank! Ledian! Sunflora!" Kairi shouted out, joining the battle. "Sunflora and Ledian! Help out Silvally! Raichu, Cubone, and Miltank! Thunderbolt! Bonmerang! Rollout!" Sunflora and Ledian went over to assist Silvally while Raichu fires Thunderbolt, shocking it. Cubone threw her bone and it strikes the jelly-fish Ultra Beast on the side. Miltank rolls right into the Ultra Beast. "Sora! Some of the other Pokémon should join in on the battle!"
"Good idea!" Sora nodded. He took three of his Pokéballs, Fast Ball, and his Friend Ball and tossed them up in the air. "Teddiursa! Aipom! Marill! Kabuto!" The balls opens and lets out four of his Pokémon to battle Nihilego. "Teddiursa! Metal Claw! Marill and Kabuto! Bubble Beam! Aipom! Swift!" Teddiursa went in first and swiped his claws at Nihilego, Marill and Kabuto fired a double Bubble Beam and they both hit the Ultra Beast. Aipom swung her tail and the stars all strike Nihilego. "Okay Pikachu! Thunderbolt! Pikachu sends out Thunderbolt and it shocks Nihilego hard. It was still standing after the abuse it took. Nihilego fires Power Gem and it strikes Sora and Kairi's Pokémon. Not calling it quits, Teddiursa and Marill started to evolve. Teddiursa was now an Ursaring and Marill was now an Azumarill. "Ursaring. Azumarill." He smiles, feeling proud of his newly evolved Pokémon. "Great! Ursaring! Metal Claw! Azumarill! Bubble Beam!" Ursaring swiped his claws right at Nihilego and Azumarill fired Bubble Beam right at it. Nihilego fired Power Gem once more and struck both Pokémon.
Ursaring and Azumarill have been hit by the blast, but Silvally takes its stand to battle Nihilego once again. Charizard joins in for the battle.
"Sora. I think you and I should take this together," Kiawe offered.
"Not a bad idea, Kiawe. Let's do this thing," Sora agreed. "Silvally! Air Slash!" Silvally fired Air Slash right at the Ultra Beast, but it just avoided the attack, leaving itself open for Charizard.
"Charizard! Flamethrower!" Kiawe ordered. Charizard fires Flamethrower right on Nihilego. It gets sent right towards Silvally.
"Crush Claw!" Sora ordered. Silvally swiped its claw on Nihilego, taking the hit.
"Fire Punch!" Kiawe ordered. Charizard lands a burning punch on the Ultra Beast pretty hard. "Let's finish it off at the same time!"
"Right! Silvally! Multi-Attack!" Sora ordered.
"Charizard! Aerial Ace!" Kiawe ordered.
Both Pokémon landed their attacks on the Ultra Beast and it got too overwhlemed and exhausted from taking the combined attack. Sora turned to Kiawe.
"Won't you do the honors for the capture, Kiawe?" Sora asked.
"My pleasure," Kiawe said. He got a Beast Ball ready and threw it right at the exhausted Nihilego. The Beast Ball stikes the Ultra Beast and it flows inside. The Beast Ball wobbles around and around. Stars swirls around the Beast Ball confirming the capture. Sora accessed his Pokédex and sent it right to Professor Oak's lab to have it sent back to Ultra Space. Sora accessed his communicator and made contact with Lusamine.
"Good news, Lusamine. The target has been captured. Professor Oak should have it sent over to you shortly," Sora said.
"Thank you, Sora. Once again, you managed to get the job done. And we'll know who to make contact with if another one shows up," Lusamine said.
"I'll keep in touch. Over and out," Sora turns off the communicator.
"It looks like you've saved my lab. I just wish I could study that Ultra Beast you would call it. But, I doubt I will ever get that chance," Temacu's father said.
"We're just forfunate nobody else was hurt," Kiawe said. He went over to Temachu and picked her up in his arms. Her father went over to her.
"Oh my baby. I hope that creature didn't hurt her too bad," he said.
"Me too, sir," Kiawe said. "Me too."
Kiawe manged to get her into her bed to rest up and he explains about him saving her from falling into a fountain and falling in love with him the first time she sees him. Her father understood the situation.
"Oh, I see. I think I know what's going on," he said.
"What are you talking about?" Sophocles asked.
"My daughter and I attened my niece's wedding last week and she was so amazed and so very excited by how the wedding looked, she became totally obessed with weddings. All she did was think and talk about weddings and getting married."
"That does explain a lot," Kairi said.
"Sure does," Sora said.
Not too long, a young doctor comes up to Temacu's room.
"Hello there. Where is the patient?" The young doctor asked.
"She's right in here," her father said.
The doctor did an examination on her to see if there were any physical damage to her. Kiawe went up with a look of concern in his eyes. Temacu opens her eyes and she eyed the doctor looking back at her.
"I'm glad to see that you're awake. I was worried about you," the doctor said.
"So was I," Kiawe said. "You okay?"
"Doctor," Temacu said. Kiawe felt a gunshot go through his heart when she was looking at the doctor and not him. "Oh, doctor, I know we had only just met, but I strobgly believe in love at first sight!" She took the doctor by the hand. "I can see now. Me in a golden gown and you at my side."
"I thought she pictured herself in pink," Sophocles said.
Sora, Kairi, and the rest of the Alolan nine knew where this was heading.
"Poor Kiawe. He just had his first heartbreak," Lillie said. The young doctor had looked right into her eyes and he instantly fell in love for her and his face had a tinge of pink on his face.
"Temacu. I know this is sudden, but will you marry me?" The doctor asked.
"Yes doctor!" Temacu accepted.
Kiawe turned pale white and felt the fire in his heart get extinguished and cooled down. He hung his head in defeat feeling heartbroken and feeling rejected.
"Even a farm boy like Kiawe can't compete with a doctor," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"It's better to love once than to never love at all," Kairi said.
"Togepi," Togepi said.
Sora, Kairi, the Alolan nine, and the Pokémon said their goodbyes to Temacu, her father, and her husband-to-be and continued on with their journey. Kiawe was still heartbroken by the decision Temacu made, but he wanted her to be happy.
"Hey, don't sweat it, Kiawe. There'll be someone right for you someday," Sora said.
"I don't know about that, Sora. I don't think I'm going to try my hand into romance anytime soon," Kiawe said.
"Take as long as you need, Kiawe. Time heals all wounds," Illima said.
"Illima's right. Afterall, the right girl will show up to you someday," Lillie said.
That made Kiawe feel better. It didn't take long for him to get over Temacu and move on. And then, he realized he was in no hurry on getting a girlfriend and decided to wait and see what happens. And maybe it'll come naturally like it did with Sora and Kairi.
