The next morning when I woke up with my team, I saw Matt sleeping soundly on the love seat, I smiled lightly and headed off to the battle company he was talking about the other day.
"Well, I suppose it's time for training," I said as we walked into the company.
"Hm! I will see you at the top floor strong trainer!" the janitor said, leaving up the elevator.
"Er...okay then," I said, waiting for the elevator. Once in it we went to the first battling floor.
"You're taking a company tour! Here you can have these! And since I'm so generous take these as well," a business man said handing me a few Quick and Timer balls.
"Thanks," I muttered, going to the trainers that fight.
We fought all the way up to the top floor when we came up against the janitor from the first floor.
"I see I was right about you tough trainer," the janitor guy said, smiling.
"Whatever," I muttered watching him send out his Trubbish.
"Antoinette, you got this," I muttered, looking over at her.
'Oui, I got this,' Antoinette replied, floating towards it. She used a Psybeam and the Trubbish was done.
"Very good, now take this," Geoff said, sending out his Minccino.
"Shuno, your turn," I muttered as Antoinette floated back.
"This will be fun!" Shuno cheered, getting into his fight stance. Shuno used Low Sweep and knocked out the little Minccino.
"Good job! Here, for all your hard work," Geoff said handing me an exp share.
"Thanks," I mumbled, turning and leaving. Once we got out of the building, I went to the pokemon center.
"It's time to heal up right?" Shuno asked as we walked in.
"Yeah, then to the gym," I said, handing my team to Nurse Joy. She healed them and handed them back telling me to come back anytime. As I was heading out, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Hey, where are you headed?" Matt asked, fully awake now.
"Gym, want to come with, or wait?" I asked, looking at him with a small smile.
"I'll wait for you to come back, then I'll challenge the gym," Matt responded, sitting down on a chair. I smirked and left.
"You didn't do anything this time," Singe commented.
"What do you mean?" I asked, heading to the gym.
"Well you either punch people or kiss him. You did neither," Singe explained, earning a slap from Oshy.
"Don't rush mommy!" Oshy scolded.
"Yes, Oshy," Singe replied with a smile.
"Meh, I didn't feel like doing either. Let's go kick girly man's ass," I smirked, walking into the gym. I fought throughout the gym and finally got to Burgh.
"Hello Roshish Darling," Burgh greeted waving his fabulous girly hand at me.
"...if I didn't need it, I'd burn my scarf," I mumbled to myself, getting a snicker from Singe.
"Let's battle Hun!" Burgh cheered sending out his Whirlipede.
"Antoinette, destroy it," I said as she smiled at my hate for Burgh's tackiness.
'Oui, sis no problem,' Antoinette replied, using lucky chant.
"Hello floating pig, take a Struggle Bug," Whirlipede laughed darkly, then used struggle bug on her. Antoinette lived and used Yawn, Whirlipede grew tired and used screech then fell asleep. Antoinette took the opportunity to use moon light as the Whirlipede slept. She then used Psybeam, which was a critical and knocked it out. Antoinette huffed, tired from the fight.
"Oh my! Well, I still have this!" Burgh looked shocked but sent out his Dwebble.
"A hermit crab? Oshy, take it," I said, holding Antoinette and sprayed her with a super potion.
"No problem," Oshy called, smiling, looking down at it.
"I have a tough shell you know," the Dwebble whispered.
"Naw, you're so cute!" Oshy cheered picking it up and huggling it. Singe got jealous at all the attention that the Dwebble was getting and glared at the Dwebble for being kinda cute. The Dwebble was too confused to see the epic punch coming and was knocked out.
"Oh! That wasn't expected, but take this!" Burgh responded sending out his last pokemon. His Leavanny.
"Singe, go," I said, glaring the Leavanny down.
"Doomed by Destiny, hun," Singe said, using incinerate. The Leavanny couldn't take more than 3, as it was using string shot trying to slow Singe down. The Leavanny was knocked out as well, earning me the win.
"Oh my you're strong. Here, you earned the fabulous Insect Badge and this TM!" Burgh cheered, handing me said items.
"Thanks, I'll take my leave then," I replied, leaving the gym. Once I got out I got a call on my Xtransceiver. It was Bianca.
"Hey Roshish! Iris trained me a bit, I want to battle, let's meet up at the checkpoint to Route 4. BYE!" Bianca cheered and hung up.
"In a moment," I muttered, heading to the pokemon center.
"Well?" Matt asked as I walked in.
"Bam," I muttered, showing him my badge case.
"Nice, well, I guess it's my turn," Matt smiled, leaving to the gym.
After my pokemon were healed, I looked at Singe, then my dex to see his level. Singe was a pretty high enough level, so I rummaged in my bag for the fire stone.
"Mommy?" Oshy asked, looking at me digging in my bag.
"Here it is," I stated holding out the stone I was looking for.
"Hey, what are you going to do mommy?" Oshy asked as I looked over at Singe.
"Here," I said, handing him the stone.
"Cool. So I can evolve now?" Singe said, looking down at it.
"You should, if you want," I replied, getting up.
"Hey! Where are we..." Shuno started.
"Didn't ya hear, Bianca wants ta battle us. So let's go all ready," Radora said, following me quickly. We headed out to where Bianca was waiting for us. When we got there, she looked over and rushed over.
"They say we can battle here, as long as we don't break the electronic board," Bianca explained to me.
"Cool. Let's do this," I said as she sent out her Herdier.
"Radora, take it," I muttered as Radora nodded and bit the crap out of it.
"Puppy! Fine Go Greeny!" Bianca said sending out her Pansage.
"Singe," I muttered, he looked up and walked over.
"Done and Done," Singe said, making check marks in the air, then used incinerate til Greeny surrendered.
"Oh, go Munny!" Bianca said, sending out her Munna.
"'Ey, I got this, alright," Blaire said, getting ready using charge.
"Munn?" Munny asked, using defensive curl.
"Eat shock wave," Blaire said, using a critical shock wave. Munny was knocked out in an instant.
"No! I trained so hard, go Piggy!" Bianca complained sending out her Pignite.
"Oshy," I stated.
"I'ma punch that bitch!" Oshy called punching the Pignite in the face making it surrender easily.
"I see. I don't think I'm ever going to beat you. But it was fun, thanks Roshish," Bianca smiled, handing me another charm that looked like a drop of water then left. I handed the charm to Oshy as he put it on his bracelet.
"You were amazing," I heard from behind me. I turned around, a small smile graced my lips.
"Hey," I muttered as he walked forward.
"You are a great trainer. I don't ever want to have to battle you," Matt laughed lightly.
"I wouldn't want to either," I said, my smile still in place.
"So, you heading out to Nimbasa right? Let me come with," Matt said, putting his newly lit cigarette in his mouth.
"Sure, you can join us," I said, I couldn't hold it back anymore. I hugged him, never having hugged anyone before. But I suppose there's a first for everything.
"Ahaha, sweet. Then let's go," Matt chuckled, noticing that I was resisting the hug. He took a drag of his smoke.
"But...it's sunset," I said, looking up at him with the smallest pout.
"Then we'll rest up and head out tomorrow," Matt replied, heading back into town blowing out smoke to his left.
"Wait! You want to get up at sunrise?" I asked in confusion, catching up with him.
"Well I'll have to if I want to join you, right?" Matt asked, taking a puff.
"Well...yeah but you don't normally..." I started, looking at him lightly.
"Matt doesn't do many 'normal' things when it comes to you. Did you know that last night he took about 8 minutes in the..."
"She doesn't want to hear your rambles Bacon!" Matt barked, cutting him off and blowing out the smoke.
"So...you act different too?" Oshy asked Matt, standing by him looking up closely at him.
"Well, not too different, but I guess...wait? Roshish, do you act differently around me?" Matt asked, looking towards me as we got close to the pokemon center.
"Mommy gets all blushy and...happy around you. You should ask mommy out," Oshy told him sincerely.
"Oshy!" I said, blushing.
"But...I'm sorry mommy," Oshy apologized, looking down.
"Come on, we need sleep," I said, walking into the pokemon center, my team all but Oshy followed.
"I might. Your mommy's cute when she's upset, friggen scary when she's pissed, but cute when I talk to her. When your mommy tells me how she feels, I might ask her out. I promise you that much, ok Oshy," Matt said as Bacon went into the pokemon center.
"Ok!" Oshy cheered and rushed in.
"That's funny. Bacon told me to do the same thing earlier in the gym battle," Matt chuckled, thinking about how Bacon was holding Leavanny's head while telling him that.
Matt walked into the pokemon center after putting out his cigarette butt and saw me already asleep. He walked over and kissed my lips lightly and laid down on the love seat and tried to sleep along with me.
"Night, love birds," Bacon muttered, looking at the two of us. "They're totally hopeless." Then he fell asleep as well.
