"This place is beautiful!" I awed in the beauty of the city. Nimbasa City is such a lively city. There's the stadiums, the concert hall, a gym, battles galore, and a Ferris Wheel! Even if I don't plan on going onto the Ferris Wheel because I hate hights, it's still another place in the city to marvel at.
"It's great that you like the city Touko! Mind comming down to the small stadium for a tennis game? You can battle some of the players before it starts." Ethan said through the Xtransciever. "Sure, I'll be there soon."
I clicked off the device and headed toward the small studium. Even simply walking through the city was amazing. So much to see, so many Trainers to battle. This place is amazing! It reminds me of Hearthome City back in Sinnoh. It could also be like Goldenrod City back home in Johto. Is there always an amazing city to see in each region?
After a lovly, five minute stroll through the wonder of a street of Nimbasa, I reached the small stadium. "Hey, Touko! I'm over here!" I looked away from the other beautiful streets and saw Ethan in front of the small stadium. "Hey Ethan!" I called and began my way toward my best childhood friend.
"So, are we going to go in the stadium or are we just going to stand out here?" I said jokingly. Ethan chuckled and we entered the stadium.
"So, Touko, what's been going on?" Ethan asked. "Well, I caught some a new Pokemon from last time you saw me, found a Zoura and sent it back to Johto with Celebi who found me somehow. My Pidove evolved into a Tranquill." I stopped for a second. Should I tell Ethan about my fight with Touya? Or would he also hate me and say that Unova is changing me for the worst? Would he blame N too? "That's pretty much it." I say.
I wasn't a total lie. I said pretty much which means not everything. "So, what been going on with you?" We took our seats and Ethan began to speak.
"First, I have a question. You found a Zoura and you didn't keep it?" I laughed. "Yes, I let Celebi take it home to Johto. I think my mom would appreciate some help from another Pokemon. Apparently, all of my starters from each region train with each other and help train other Pokemon. I also didn't want Celebi to stay here with Zoura. One Trainer with a rare and a lengendary Pokemon would attract attention."
Ethan seemed content with my answer. "So, what have you been up to?" Ethan looked down. "Bianca and I broke up." He gave a depressed sigh. I gave a slight gasp. "Oh my gosh, what happen?"
Ethan sighed again. "We just kinda found out that we didn't really have a lot in common. Or maybe we lost our spark or something. I will never understand how people can keep their spark with someone for years and years once they get married."
I patted Ethan on the back. "Well, it's not too bad. Think of it as if you're free now. Now you can see other people who you're more compadible with and date them, break up, and do it again. Love is a crazy thing." I sigh. Love is the most insane thing I know of especially if someone you may or may not like is with something you are totally against.
It's ture that N is completely emerged in Team Plasma's propaganda. I don't know why though, but I am going to help him one way or another.
Ethan looked up from his depressed state. "You're right, love is the most insane thing I know of. Now, are you going to explain to me your side of why you won't go back to N, or will I only have Touya's?"
I looked at Ethan shocked. When did he and Touya meet up? How long did he know? I guess that doesn't matter right now.
I explained to Ethan my side of the story. How I found out Lance was the real villian and that Silver still wants me back. And how that I didn't take Touya's offer to take him back.
Ethan listend patiently and nodded once in a while. Finally, he broke the silence after my chatter. "So, why did you not take up the offer to get Silver back?"
The one question I wasn't quite sure of myself. Why didn't I go with Touya to find Silver, if that was his plan? "I'm not quite sure of that myself."
"You're lying Lyra." Ethan said my real name quietly, even if no one was around us. "I think I know why you won't take Silver back." I straightened up and looked at Ethan full of intrest. "You're falling for that N guy. Unova is changing you like Touya thinks."
I furrow my eyebrows. "What are you talking about!" My voice is rising. "I am the same person I've been everywhere I've been! Your as judgemental as Touya is!"
"Calm down." Ethan's voice remaind calm, just as it always is when he wants to calm me down. "Now listen to me. Unova is changing you. In your other journeys you would always keep in touch, minus Sinnoh. You would always be calm. You were always friendly. And you would also listen to someone's side of the story before you made accusations.
"Look at you now! Sure you're still friendly and kind to people, but your temper is very unstable. You barely keep in touch with your friends and you go off accusing people before you can here their story! Come on already! You just accused me of being judgemental just because of this one conversation and you lost your temper right in the begining! Plus, when was the last time you sat down with Bianca or Cheren and just had a conversation, or even a phone call? All you've done in Unova is battle Trainers and try to take down Team Plasma!
"Do you know how many Trainers already do that? Champion Lyra was special because she did more than that! She gave out advice and helped each and every Trainer she defeated in battle to become stronger! What are you doing now? Going against your cousin and best friend and trying to get together with Team Plasma? At least Silver and a horrible past and he wasn't even with Team Rocket!
"Touya is right. Champion Lyra is dead."
I was boiling with rage. How could Ethan say that! I bawled up a fist. "You don't know what you're saying Ethan. I am completely the same. I am still Lyra. Touko is not taking over. I just have a new name and outfit." My voice is a low, deathly, growl. Ethan had done it this time. I am not blowing up easily and I am not changed at all.
"Really? Then why won't you even think of what I just said?" Ethan replied smartly. I was done with this. I sent my fist to his eye. It landed and I stormed out of the stadium. But before I left I gave Ethan some parting words.
"I am never going back to him! He's moved on by now! And I will change N!"
As I walked out of the stadium, I thought. That's something I haven't done in a while. Did I really just punch Ethan?
A/N: To me, I think a lot happened in this chapter. Lyra lost another friend for now because Unova is changing her. That's why I'm leaving out certain parts of her journey. If I put them in it would be a desription of the game.
Anyway, there's going to be one more day in Nimbasa City and a chapter I can't wait to write!
Ciao!
