Hey guys, thank you so much for all the great reviews! You support makes this even more fun to do! This chapter will be the introduction of the pokemon couple. Next chapter will be more emotionally complicated situations for Touko. Please enjoy reading, and as always, tell me what you think in either review or PM!
Also, I apologize in advance… I am really bad with romance…
The sun rose above the Driftveil lake. Many pokemon were out in the city already to buy things at the market. Since the war had ended with the capture of the champion life had been settling down again. Driftveil city was no different. The war had left almost no damage to Driftveil, as it had mostly been peaceful in the city, apart from some fuss due to loose humans around. The most noticeable was the human's stand on the bridge. Lead by the champion and the elite four, the Driftveil bridge had served as the primary way of getting to the left part of the Unova region. The champion had fought for days to keep it out of pokemon's hands, but eventually had to retreat. Since then nothing big had occurred. Due to this normal life had quickly regained in Driftveil city. On a hill on the northern edge of the city there was a large house. It was not a mansion, but it was a rather nice, and quite big house. The house was made from a rough stone type that gave it an old look. The couple that lived there liked it that way.
A Lopunny woke up from her slumber. Next to her was a still sleeping Blazicken. This was the couple known as Nathan and Cathrynn Keaton. These two pokemon had met during the revolution, and had been together ever since. Their normal life had only started about three months ago, after their last battle.
It had been a tough battle. Nathan, who was a well respected leader, had been fighting the remaining human resistance for days now. His team began to get tired and was in clear need for backup. The human resistance was at the verge of being defeated, so Nathan refused to give in. After fighting a long and tiresome battle the remaining humans retreated, giving the pokemon the victory for that day. Nathan had gotten some good hits and was brought to the medical posts in the back of the lines. This is where he met Cathrynn. Waking up the first thing Nathan could see was a Lopunny standing in his sight. She smiled warmly when she saw him wake up. The two had talked a lot in the time Nathan was treated, and quickly grew a bond. Nathan had eventually left with the promise they would meet again.
This happened. Cathrynn was an emergency medic in the back of the battles. She supported the fighters and healed the wounded. After her meeting with Nathan she had felt weird. She missed Nathan more than she missed other pokemon she had treated. The two did not have to wait for long, as they met again at the battle for the pokemon league. The elite four had made their stand at the league one last time. The champion was nowhere to be found at this point. Cathrynn had been fighting in the front lines for the first time. Cathrynn was a good fighter, better than most of the pokemon in the front lines, but the amount of humans attacking her at once was too much for her to handle. She got driven into a corner after a long fight. Seeing no way out she was about to get overran, if not for a certain Blazicken to appear. Nathan fought Cathrynn to safety that day. Both injured they rested for a while in Opelucid city.
"Cathrynn… what were you doing in the front lines?" Nathan asked
"ehm… I guess I wanted to show my worth. Not that It worked out very well…" Cathrynn replied
The two sat there for a while, just looking at the crimson colored sunset. They both wanted to say something, as they both felt the same way, but didn't know how to say it.
"Cathrynn… I do not know how to say this… but, ever since I met you, I have felt this desire to be with you… and…." Nathan began
"… and I feel like something is missing from me when you're not with me…."Cathrynn finished his sentence, shifting closer to him
The two pokemon looked at each other with a smile. They nodded to each other and leaned over for their first kiss.
Ever since that moment the two had been together. They bought a house in the outskirts of Driftveil city and began to live a normal life. Nathan began to work as a police officer and Cathrynn worked as a doctor at Driftveil's hospital. The two had a good amount of money, and they were happy together. Nathan had started to play music and practice his fighting skills. Cathrynn on the other hand missed something…
"Nathan… I know this is a bit out of the blue but… I want to adopt a child!" Cathrynn said to her husband
"I know honey…. I've seen you look at the spare room for a while now. I think it's time to actually do it. How about we get ourselves lifted at the HAA" Nathan said to his wife.
Cathrynn squealed in happiness as she tackle-hugged her husband. Soon after that they called the HAA and got enlisted as waiting parents.
It was two months later now, and they had not received word from the HAA yet. Cathrynn had gotten more desperate over the two months. She wanted to have a child of her own above all else. She had already got a full nursery in the spare room and all the other child care aspects needed to raise a child.
"Cathy… " Nathan said during lunch "you've been awfully quiet… that's not like you… what's wrong?" he asked concerned.
"Nathan… it's just… we signed up for a child like two months ago… how come there is has still hasn't been a child for us? I mean, everyone around us has a child now… when will it be us?" Cathrynn said, bursting into tears
Nathan tightly hugged his wife. He too had been worrying. He gently rubbed his wife's back as he held her.
"I will come dear, I'm sure of it. Maybe they have just been looking for a special one for us. Just imagine, getting a call to tell us we get to take care of the little champion. I mean little Touko should be around thirteen years old now, which means that if she is brought in she should be ready for adoption" Nathan said
The two sat there for a while. Both thinking about what to do next. Until eventually, Cathrynn sat up.
"you're right Nathan… we should not give up our hopes… we will have a child of our own eventually…" she said. Later that day, there was a phone call. Nathan answered.
"Hello? This is Nathan Keaton speaking…" Nathan said into the phone
"ah Mr. Keaton, this is Laura Springwater from the HAA" went the voice on the phone
"ah! Miss Springwater! What can I do for you" Nathan says. Cathrynn sat up hearing this.
"we have finally gotten a child for you, and a special one too" Laura continues.
"a special one?" Nathan says winking to Cathrynn who listened carefully
"yes, we have finally captured our beloved little champion Touko, and we wanted to make sure she would be in proper hands, so we decided that you would be asked. I warn you though, this little girl is not one who complies easily. I even think she will resist anything you want to accomplish with her" Laura said
"ah, a little fighter, I think we can handle that. When can we come over to sign the paperwork?" Nathan said smiling
"how about you come over tomorrow, then we can sign and meet the girl. She is still in treatment so she will not come home with you yet, but you can meet her' Laura said
"that sounds great! we will make sure to be there. What time?" Nathan asked
"is three o clock okay with you?" Laura asked
"that is fine with us" Nathan said
"I will write you down, don't be late" Laura said and hung up the phone.
Cathrynn was basically sitting in Nathan's lap by now. Her eyes were pretty much glowing with excitement as she looked at her husband.
"Nathan… we're going to be parents… finally…" Cathrynn said jumping into her husband's arms squealing in happiness
Nathan smiled, being more happy than he had imagined. They would finally be a proper family…
Hey guys, this concludes this chapter… it's a little short I know, I just can't handle romance!
Have a great day!
