Summary: This is chapter 3! Apparently Nate gets his first gym badge! Yay! Touya sees Cheren and is shocked of what he had become. Feel free to RR!

I showed Touya around. Touya said that he had never been to Aspertia City before, which left me shocked. I even said this is where he lived at. Touya was shocked about this fact. I smiled and saw a Gym. Whoohoo! My first gym challenge! "Cool!" I said and ran in there. I can hear footsteps behind me, which left me to believe that Touya followed me.

I saw the gym leader. The gym leader of the Gym was a young man I had never met. He looked like he was 16 or 18. I see him turn around, his blue eyes meeting my brown eyes. "Oh! Hi there!" He said, smiling at me. I smiled back at Cheren as a greeting. I saw that Touya looked at him. It looks like he was mumbling something, because I saw his mouth move but I didn't hear his voice. "I see you are my first challenger. My name is Cheren!" Cheren said happily.

I smiled. Awesome! I knew he is the Gym leader! I can't wait to battle him and get my first gym badge! Time to battle the entire gym! "You two take your places!" Cheren said to the two trainers and they went to their usual spaces.

I smiled and battle the two trainers there happily. The two trainers lost but they were happy that i get to battle Cheren. "Go get him!" The youngster said. "You can do it!" The girl said. I smiled and went on to fight Cheren.

I couldn't see Touya's reaction. He is probably proud of me for this.

The time to battle Cheren has begun. I saw that Cheren had a Patrat and a Lilipup. "Did he change his Pokemon?" Alright. Now it's go time.

To be honest, I'm having fun. By the looks of it, Cheren looks like he is having fun too. Both of us were smiling as we battled. I still couldn't see Touya's reaction. I think he is proud of me and is probably cheering me up.

I apparently won against Cheren. Cheren smiled and gave me the Basic Badge along with a TM called Work Up (Info: It increases Attack and Special Attack). I can see Touya smiling but he looked away and I can see the smile falter. I felt confused but chose not to ask. I ran to Touya. "Come on! I got a lot more to show you!" I said to him. Touya's smile returned. It looks like he forgot about that. Wait...How the hell did he forgot about that? He wouldn't.

Would he?

Touya and I kept walking out until we heard a voice. "Hey, Nate!" A yell said. It was Bianca. "Bianca!" I replied with a big grin on my face. I heard running footsteps.

Must be a trainer or somebody else running.

Bianca made a big grin as well. Cheren also came out. "Bianca!" Cheren said. "Oh! H-hi, Cheren!" Bianca replied to Cheren. My mother, Hugh, and his little sister came as well. I guess we have a lot to talk about.

I saw that Cheren and Biance registered themselves in my Xtransceiver. In addition, Bianca also registered Professor Juniper as well. I got a call from her. Me, Bianca, and Cheren spoke to her.

After that, the mother wished me luck and Hugh also told me to get stronger before going in the Gym to battle Cheren. His little sistwr also wished luck on me. After that, all of them left.

Once they left, I saw that Touya was missing. Where the hell did he go? "Touya? Touya!" I called out. Touya came back.

Where the fuck did he went to?

"Touya, Is something the matter? You feel like you are concerned." I said to Touya in worry. I really want to know where he went. Touya swallowed a breath in and said the following words to me.

I have something to tell you...
