Shimoyuki: Hello! Thank you to everyone that has reviewed for the past two chapters (I'm sorry that I didn't add that in the last chapter). I hope you enjoy this chapter because this is one of my favorite chapters that I was excited to type for this fanfic.

I stood there waiting, in the gloomy area waiting for this person yet again. I was supposed to go to this building mainly to talk about something really important. As I walked back and forth with patience and nervousness, I soon stopped. I started hearing sound, footsteps I assumed. This was going to be my time to reveal my feelings. I had such a strong feeling for this person, heck, even I think I loved this person.

This person was the person I wanted to be for the rest of my life. I was really scared that this person would tell me the bad news. The bad news would be that they didn't love me. For all of the memories we've spent together, I've always thought that this person made me happy and know who I am truly. Without this person, I couldn't know how it feels to love somebody or even experience this feeling that I cannot explain.

First we became friends, we met each other in Avalon Island. I would never expect this person to be my best friend, even the person I liked. The person was so optimistic about everything. I think that's what made me love this person. But I think what made me really love this person was in the festival.

It was the traditional Sakura festival. We were all dressed up in our kimonos and yukatas that we were able to get. Actually, it seemed like it only occurred yesterday, but it really happened a year ago. Anyway, we were dressed up and going to meet near the Nesselia port. As I looked around for my friends, I found this person. This person was dressed up so nicely that at first I was speechless.

It took me a while to get myself relax and to be able to talk to this person. But as a few hours went by, this person and I sat next to each other in a bench far away from the party. I don't know if it was destiny, but somehow we ended up sitting there all silent, wanting the other person to speak.

I was really planning on going to speak first, but the person interrupted, "You know, I'm surprised that you look cute in those clothes. I would never imagine you wearing them."

I blushed a bit hearing this person's words. I never heard them speak something that would affect me a lot. I replied, "Thanks…you also look…um, cute too."

The person at first thought of it as a joke, but I continued it in a serious way, "Literally. Actually I…want to admit something to you…"

The person was a bit curious as to what I was planning to say. I really thought at first the person knew what I was going to say because of their facial expression. Then I continued, "I…I…I…" I started to shiver up a bit as I was saying it, it was so hard to tell somebody my feelings, especially that I loved this person.

"I…I love you…" I said, as I wanted to get this over with. The quivering was going to end it, so I knew I had to stop it soon. The person was really shocked. I was really wondering whether or not if it was good news to this person, or bad news. Immediately I saw this person open their arms wanting to give a hug to me. I started getting really confused if it was really worth it telling my feelings.

Then I looked down at this person and this person looked up. Our eyes met, our elegant eyes. I saw this person blushing also as we stared at each other. I didn't know what to do next until my inner self forced me to. I went closer to this person and closed my eyes. A part of me was afraid to do it, but the other part of me really wanted to. As I closed my eyes, I soon noticed that this person closed their eyes also.

We kept getting closer and closer until our lips touched. Our soft, innocent lips made me experience a feeling that I couldn't be able to explain, even now. As our lips touched I started touching the person's face. It made me love this person so much that I couldn't explain it.

A minute later, this person stopped. Once we stopped, I was really surprised, even happy about it. The person left running to go back to the party while I decided to stay. As the person ran to go back to the party, the person said, "I love you too…Niko."

Meanwhile, Rhys, who was in the mall area, was looking for the food court. He had to buy food for the three of them especially that it was about eight 'o clock at night. Since the malls were in the cruise ship, the majority of them were opened all day, mainly the food court.

As Rhys was walking to the food court, he went through a couple of restaurants finding the ones that suited all three of them. Once he found a good one, he ordered food to go so he could bring it up to their hotel room. Rhys thought, "I hope he's not doing any monkey business with my sister."

Since Rhys was older than Raine by a few seconds, he was like an older brother to Raine. As soon as the food was ready, Rhys rushed outside and into the elevator waiting for the door to open. He thought that probably those two were getting hungry since Rhys and Raine weren't able to eat lunch earlier.

When the elevator door opened, Rhys walked quickly out of the elevator and into their hotel room. Once he found the hotel room, he opened the door and noticed that Raine was awake. Rhys sighed with relief knowing that Raine was awake and that nothing bad happened to her.

Rhys greeted them, "Hello you two. Here's our dinner. I'm assuming you're hungry also Niko?"

Niko nodded and replied, "Yeah, I didn't know it was getting this late actually. But thank you very much Rhys."

Rhys unwrapped the bag and gave the containers to them. He was able to tell the difference between the containers because each of the containers had the initials of the food he bought. While he was giving it to them, Raine asked, "Hey, bro, what happened to me?"

Rhys had a strange look when he heard that. He was assuming that Niko must have told her what really happened to her, or Raine should have known what happened. Rhys questioned, "Didn't you remember? Or even, didn't Niko tell you about it?"

Raine replied, "Yes he did, but I still don't remember that happening." Niko looked through the bag for some napkins and got a few of them. Once he did, he opened his container and started eating. Rhys also did the same thing while Raine continued, "In fact, I don't know how I got it."

Raine soon got the necessary utensils she needed while the two guys were eating already. They continued to eat while conversing.

When they were done, Raine took all of their containers and put it in the kitchen. She decided she'd clean it up later, especially that it was already midnight according to the clock that was next to Raine.

Rhys also saw the time and asked Niko, "Aren't you going to leave right now? It's quite late…"

Niko thought for a few seconds whether or not he should and said, "Yeah I should. Anyway, bye you two!" He stood up from the chair he was sitting and left their room while Rhys was behind the door ready to close it.

Niko got his key and unlocked the door to his room. Once he did open the door and he walked inside. He remembered that he was so full from the food that falling asleep right now would be a bad idea. So he decided to sit down on his chair and turn on the television. He was quite curious as to what was happening lately in the pokemon world.

When the television opened, the first thing that popped out was the pokemon news channel. After a few minutes, he started feeling very sleepy that he put a timer on the television.

Niko changed his clothes, still in his sleepy mood while watching the pokemon news channel. After he was done changing clothes to his pajamas, he laid down on the bed with the blanket on top of him. Niko reached the lamp to turn it off and fell asleep with the television on still.

(Flashback, supposedly from Niko's 'dream')

I was sitting near a beautiful pool waiting for this person. I was supposed to meet her in here to see her once again. It's been four months since I've seen her after I admitted my feelings. Actually everything was going well, her parents accepted me as her boyfriend, maybe even her husband! And vice versa with my parents.

Even though we were still young, we still had a lot to learn. But eventually we'll learn it together. I sat on a chair with a glass of water on the table still waiting for her. I look at my watch; it says "1:00am". I thought, "Where is she, she was suppose to be here ten minutes ago."

Since the area I was in was supposedly a mansion that her family owned, it was really quiet and a private place. I turned around hearing footsteps and there she was, standing in front of me wearing a stylish lavender dress that correlated really well with her hat.

My first instinct was to hug her, or say that I missed her. But her expression in her face was so different that I wasn't able to do it. I don't know what it was, but it was so different. I really felt that time that I met a different girl.

I stood there forcing myself to move, but I couldn't. Instead, she moved closer to me, first giving me a warm hug. That was the thing I've always missed in her, her hugs.

After that she moved a few steps back looking down. I felt a bit scared seeing a whole different person. But I touch her cheeks and she looked up at me like she was ready to cry. I really wanted to ask her what was her problem, but she said, "Niko…I have something to tell you. It's important…"

I looked at her with confidence on the outside, but I was really afraid inside. I knew this was going to be bad news, so I gulped once, maybe twice.

I asked her, "What is it my angel?"

She replied, "I…I'm breaking up with you. I know we had a good relationship and stuffs, but I cannot love you anymore."

Shocked to hear it, I stood there speechless. I released my hand that was on her cheeks and I didn't know how to express that moment. I felt that was the worse moment of my life.

To hear the person you love saying they don't love you anymore is horrible. I couldn't explain it! The only way I could figure out why is by asking her. I asked, "Why? What have I done to you?"

She sighed, "Well…I can't tell you. But you'll eventually figure out. Do not look for me ever again Niko. Never, ever again. Just get it over with. You have to. Once you do, you'll make me happy, which is what you want me to be…don't you?"

I stood there wishing to scream and cry, but I didn't want to. I stood there so passively as I saw the girl that I love walk away from me, never wanting to see me again.

As she walked farther and farther away from me, I sat down on the chair and started crying thinking, "Why? Why? Why?"

The next day, supposedly the day of the festival, Niko dressed up and knocked at the twins' door hoping they were awake at that time. Raine, who was closest to the door heard the knock and opened it hoping it was Niko.

Niko stood there and greeted her, "Hello Raine." Raine replied, "Oh! Hello Niko! That reminds me, can you do me a small favor?"

Niko asked, "What kind of a favor?"

Raine replied, "Last night, Professor Ivy called us and said that she sent our pokemon in here. So can you get the pokemon for us? Rhys and I still have to do our shopping for the festival."

Niko didn't know there was a festival today so he questioned, "A festival?"

Raine assumed that Niko would know it especially that one of the employees told them. She said, "Didn't you know?"

Niko replied, "No…."

Raine continued, "Anyway, can you do the favor for me please?" The way she said it reminded Niko of the girl he used to love.

Niko agreed to it and left to go to the elevator. Meanwhile, Rhys, who just took a shower a few minutes ago, was in his clothes ready to go on an adventure with his twin sister Raine.

Rhys's hair was illuminating because of the shower he took. Also it showed how soft his hair was. Rhys wore a navy blue t-shirt with black jeans. The clothes he wore matched really well with his hair and his eyes.

Raine, however, was still in her pajamas. When she saw her brother all dressed up, she decided to do the same also. A few minutes later, Raine took a shower and was ready to go. Her hair was done like usual, but she decided to wear a hat over it because she felt like it. Raine wore a pretty brown jacket on top of her light pink shirt and her lacy white skirt.

Rhys asked as he was looking at his sister, "Shall we go?"

Raine replied once she got her bag, "Sure, just lemme summon my aipom. I wanna see my aipom!"

Raine opened her bag and took out the pokeball and summoned aipom on the table. When aipom, the purple monkey, came out, Raine got a hold of the monkey while she put the pokeball back in her bag.

Unlike a typical aipom, Raine's aipom was pretty calm so it didn't move a lot when she was carrying aipom. While she was carrying it, she walked out of the door with Rhys opening it.

Rhys was right behind Raine so he was the last person to close the door. He also locked it just in case some sort of a robber would come and invade their place.

When they went out, they started walking towards the elevator. However, they stopped because of what they saw. They saw a geodude coming towards them. Actually it was a wild geodude that was damaged really badly. Rhys ran towards it and got down asking, "Are you alright geodude?"

Rhys wanted to make sure it would survive if they decided to walk to the nearest pokemon center in the area. Geodude couldn't reply nor move, so Rhys carried geodude and decided to take the stairs, which was quicker.

Rhys told Raine, "Go ahead! I'll meet you at the shopping area later!" Raine nodded and heard a ding from the elevator. The elevator soon opened and Raine went inside the elevator door.

While that was happening, a teenage girl who had dark brown hair like chocolate with light red highlights and had curly hair was walking towards the direction that Rhys was about to come out from the stairs. The teenage girl was with a friend supposedly. Her friend had light lavender hair and curly like the teenage girl. However her friend's curls were a lot curlier than the teenage girl. As they were walking by, Rhys accidentally bumped into the brown-haired girl.

Rhys said, "I'm so sorry about that miss. Bye." He left walking towards the pokemon center, but the brown-haired girl stood still, not knowing what to react. Her friend asked, "Chloe, are you alright? It seems that you were traumatized or something…"

Chloe, who was a bit speechless replied, "Uh..it's okay! I'm fine, I was dozing off when he accidentally bumped into me."

Her friend, who knew her really well said, "That's very strange actually. I think you know that person. When you become speechless, you know something. Come on say it. I'll figure it out eventually if you don't!" She giggled a bit as she saw Chloe a bit nervous about it.

Meanwhile, a bunch of people wearing a hooded jacket that covered their face were walking near the mall area going to the Oceania Hall, the place where the festival would begin. Their faces couldn't be seen because of their jacket. Their jacket gave a dark shadow on their face, so whenever they would walk, strangers would look at them as if they have no face.

One of them, who was the tallest person in the bunch turned towards their 'friends' and their 'friends' stopped. That person said, "Team, we must prepare for our battle. The battle that will start chaos and will make us rule the world!" That person started laughing like an evil villain would and didn't care what the other people would say. And the other 'team members' were standing still. They were silent for a few seconds, but later on started laughing maniacally.

Shimoyuki: Yay! Chapter three is done! I was expecting to write more pages for this chapter, but I was really excited in publishing this chapter that I didn't care, as long as I put the major points that I wanted to put in this chapter. I hope you will enjoy it. Out of the three chapters I've done, this one is probably my favorite because there was a few surprises, a few answered questions and a ton of questions needed to be answered! Oh and watch out for chapter four, that's where pokemon is really the main thing in there. Surprises will be happening in the chapters as usual!
