Chapter 18: The Room Escape
While Frost was observing Cynthia rummage through mountains of Clothes he thought
(Why does she have so many clothes for a two-three day trip.)
"Frost why don't you make yourself comfortable I will join you in a second." she said while peeking out.
"Okay."
Frost decided to sit on one of the many couches in the suite as he continued to eye the huge place that was the penthouse suite of 'Luminous Pride'. Three balconies, two baths, an outdoor jacuzzi master bedroom with guest rooms and a kitchenette.
Meanwhile Glaceon and Ninetales joined Frost on the couch and Glaceon greeted Frost.
"Gla-Ceon." coed the Pokemon.
"Nice to meet you again Glaceon, thanks for keeping Ninetales company." he said while stroking the eeveelution's chin much to the Pokemon's delight.
Ninetales just sat besides Frost on top of the couch.
"So how is Glaceon, do you like her?" he asked his Pokemon while still playing with Glaceon.
"Nine-Ninetales" came as the reply.
"Well if that is the case then I am glad you are making new friends, we will be meeting with our old Friends today wanna stay out or do you want to meet them in person?" he asked.
"Nine"
"Personally it is, although I am glad you at least wanna meet them this time." Frost replied as Glaceon went on and climbed on Frost's shoulder and rested her head on the man' s head.
Cynthia who was hearing this smiled and thought
(I don't understand how did Ash see violent Aura in a guy who cares for his Pokemon so much.)
"Cynthia so what is your idea of getting out of hear?" Frost asked while growing impatient by the amount of time she was taking.
Cynthia quickly grabbed a pair of blue jeans and a black top consisting of her trademark tear drop style button.
"We are gonna use that exit." she said while pointing at the railing of one of the balcony.
"So we are essentially jumping off the top floor." Frost confirmed.
"Yes" replied Cynthia while walking inside the bathroom and after having a quick shower she emerged in her new clothes.
While drying her hair she saw Frost recalling Ninetales and still having Glaceon on top of him, a fact that she found amusing.
"Ever since she saw Ash's Pikachu she insists on staying on someones shoulder like that."
"I don't mind as when Ninetales was still a Vulpix she also did the same." replied Frost while handing Glaceon over to Cynthia.
"Why did you recall Ninetales I wanted to talk to her more." Cynthia asked while letting Glaceon on her shoulder.
"I'll let her out again soon, you see she doesn't really like to stay out for long during the daytime." Frost explained.
"I see well anyways we should leave now it's already 9 AM and I haven't had food." she added while walking towards the balcony to let out Garchomp but was stopped by Frost as he said
"Cynthia you should not do that."
"Why?"
"New city rules suggest it's illegal to fly using Pokemon within City limits." he corrected.
"What! really since when?" she asked as her plan started to crumble.
"Ever since the zygote roots incident a few years ago." he replied.
"But didn't you fly on your Noivern yesterday." she countered.
"That was an emergency." Frost said while crushing any hopes in Cynthia of avoiding Steven.
"But so is this." she said in as she huffed.
(She is such a child for someone who outsmarted me twice.) Frost thought as he asked
"You really don't want to meet him do you?"
The champion nodded her head vigorously sideways.
Frost sighed at the Champion's behavior as he said
"Alright I have a plan, listen closely Champion."
Steven was currently pacing about in the hall waiting for Cynthia
(She has to eventually come out.) and his wish came true as the door opened revealing an unfamiliar face who began to talk.
"Steven Stone it's an honor meeting you." said Frost.
"Sorry do we know each other?" asked Steven a bit skeptical of the guy who was pulled into the room by Cynthia a few minutes ago.
"Oh how silly of me my name is Frost, I am the escort assigned to Lady Shirona." he replied while bowing lightly.
Hearing that Steven's expression lightened a bit as he asked
"You see Frost I have some business with Cynthia so do you mind letting me through."
"Of course she is currently in the shower but she said to let you in as she wanted to talk to you in private." he replied while gesturing him to come inside.
"Good man." replied Steven as he thought while entering
(This guy is a better escort than mine, that women is a demon's incarnation.)
Steven didn't notice the curtain next to the door sway just a little as he entered.
(Finally she wants to talk, about damn time.) he thought as he sat on one of the couches and smiled lightly as he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
"She told me that she was embarrassed to meet you with bed hair and asked me to tell you to wait for sometime." added Frost while smiling.
"Oh I see well I suppose I was a bit forward coming here this early in the morning." said Steven while letting out a short laugh.
('Bit forward' is an understatement you stalker.) thought Frost while replying with the same smile as before.
"She will join you shortly Champion, unfortunately I have some business to attend to at the moment so must take my leave." he said as if asking permission.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, thank you for your help Frost." Steven said as he was relieved that the escort had to leave anyways.
"Your welcome" said Frost as he left the room closing the door behind him shut.
(Finally some alone time with Cynthia.) thought Steven as he set his hair and checked his breathe while waiting on the couch.
As soon as Frost shut the door he started running to the elevator that was being held open by someone, he entered said elevator and was immediately asked
"How long before he realizes that it's just a running tap?"
"Ten minutes tops, we should hurry."
Cynthia pressed the button to the ground floor without second thought.
"That was a close one." she sighed in relief.
"See told you it will work." said Frost while leaning on the rail.
Cynthia just smiled at him with gratitude visible in her eyes.
"You know I was kinda debating on the fact to just straight up punch him in the jaw while I was talking to him." Frost said while fixing his tie.
For an unknown reason Frost was really pissed off towards Steven, a reason he couldn't really understand.
Cynthia laughed whole heartily at this remark before replying
"Thanks Frost you have saved me twice now."
"Just doing my job Champion." he replied with a smirk.
"Well as compensation I'll let you pick where we have breakfast."
"You can decide that on your Champion I have already eaten food in the morning." replied Frost.
"Oh… is see." Cynthia replied with a dejected look on her face.
Seeing Cynthia like that Frost he sighed and said
"But I do know a pretty decent cafe in Lumious where we can have Lunch, if you are interested."
Cynthia's expression instantly brightened up as she replied cheerfully
"Great Lunch it is, but I still need breakfast you know."
"Don't worry there is a food truck a short walk away from the hotel." assured Frost.
"Why do you know so much about the city, are you from Kalos because you don't look like a Kalosian to me?" questioned Cynthia.
"No I am not from here, it's just that I am deployed around here most of the time so I know the region pretty well."
As the door of the elevator opened both of them walked out into the lobby when Cynthia replied
"I see well then I will depend on you to show me around Frost considering I am not familiar with this area at all."
Frost only chuckled lightly at the Champion's comment as he replied "I'll try my best." he said while exiting the hotel letting the outside air fill his lungs.
"You better, but first let's get some food in me." added Cynthia cheerfully while hopping on ahead.
Cynthia looked back to see Frost while walking slowly
"Come on Frost that breakfast isn't gonna buy itself." she shouted .
Frost smiled at the women's joyful expression as he thought
(This women is something else.) while pacing himself to match Cynthia.
Author's Notes:
Don't worry Steven is not gonna be a complete idiot all the time as he will be like that in the case of Cynthia. Anyways as always follow my work and feel free to ask questions through PM's or reviews.
Until next time.
PEACE.
