Undella Town, Caitlin's Villa, Day 1 of 60, 10:23 P.M.

Skyla

Skyla lay in the bed that she was going to be sleeping in for the next two months. Outside the window, she could see the cliff that rose above the ocean near the Pokémon Center. On the top of the cliff, she could see a periodic blue glow that she knew was the energy that Zekrom would glow with. Ever since Lotte caught Zekrom, he had kept Zekrom outside of its Poké ball. In a way, the blue glow was soothing; it left Skyla with a sense of security that no matter what happened that night, there was someone there to protect the people of the town. Not that there had been many threats since the dissolve of Team Plasma, so it wasn't likely that Lotte and Zekrom would have to jump into a fight soon.

She rolled on her side to look out the window easier. Zekrom's glow was strangely hypnotic. Minutes flew by in what seemed like seconds, and her eyelids grew heavy. She laid her head on her pillow and let the dream world take her.

…

The walls of the Castle rose high above the group of seven. The Gym Leaders of Unova ran down the halls toward the throne room. The Sages of Team Plasma had retreated, leaving the Gym Leaders to go help Lotte.

Skyla could hardly believe that the young boy she had just had a battle with was going to battle for the future of people and Pokémon, he seemed like such a laid-back sort of person. The group approached the large doors to the throne room when the roar of a large Pokémon rung through the air. Brycen and Clay went up and pushed the two doors open, the sight beyond made Skyla gasp.

Two dragons stood facing each other, a black one sparking with electricity, and a white one burning with fire. Two young men stood next to the dragons, their hair blowing in the breeze that came through a hole in the roof of the room. The one next to the black dragon she recognized as Lotte, the other was probably the Leader of Team Plasma. Their eyes were locked on each other; they scowled as the two dragons roared at each other once again.

The green-haired man next to the white dragon called out, "Fusion Flare!" and the dragon began creating a large ball of flame above it.

Lotte looked at the black dragon and said, "We'll play that game, Fusion Bolt!" and his dragon began charging its body with electricity and flew up into the air. It circled the room, flying above the Gym Leaders, the charged towards the white dragon, a deep roar reverberating throughout the room.

The white dragon finished charging and, with a higher pitched roar, sent the ball of fire toward the black dragon.

Time slowed as the attacks closed in on each other.

…

Skyla awoke with a start; she looked up at the cliff and could see the black splotch that was Zekrom, still sleeping. She yawned.

"What was that dream about? It was that day that Lotte defeated Team Plasma. I wonder what brought it up."

She shrugged and got out of bed. Walking down the hallway, she went into the bathroom; a shower would help her clear her mind.

After the shower

Skyla walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel. She hadn't taken but two steps when she heard a whistle. She looked down into the living room and saw Lotte looking up at her, eyebrow arched. Realizing the position she was in, she squealed and ran behind a wall. Peeking out around the corner, she asked, "W-what did you see?"

Lotte shrugged. "Just a Gym Leader waltzing around in towel without a care in the world. Saw nothing more than that."

"Are you sure?"

"The angle wasn't right for that, trust me." Lotte said.

Skyla blushed and hurried to her room, embarrassed. She can't believe that Lotte saw her like that. She heard footsteps outside the door, and then someone knocked.

"Skyla?" It was Caitlin. "I'm sorry; I should have taken my brother into another room."

Skyla laughed, "It's alright Caitlin, my head was in the clouds and I needed something to bring me back down. Besides, he didn't see anything so it's alright."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely, so don't worry about it."

As Caitlin's footsteps went back down the hall, Skyla started blushing again. "I wouldn't have minded if…AH! WHAT AM I THINKING? OF COURSE I WOULD HAVE MINDED!" Skyla threw her face down into her pillow. "Why did I start thinking like that? It's so…wrong! I shouldn't be thinking of him like that! Sure, he's an amazing trainer…and he's nice…and kind of cute…but I still shouldn't think of him like that! He's a friend, and that's all he'll ever be!" Skyla stood up and got dressed, pushing away whatever thoughts she might have had.
