Disclaimer: Only chapter 4 and I'm already tired of this shit. Anyway, Pokémon doesn't belong to me, or else there wouldn't be the Unova region.

Chapter 4: Story tales at the fireplace

Sato started his story about his travels:

"When I first arrived in Sinnoh I surprised as Brock showed up, too. Well our friendly reunion didn't last long because of Team Rocket. They, guess what, were trying to steal Pikachu again."

"I guess we never will be safe from them" Lila said with a sigh.

"Yeah, I'm sure that they will haunt me even in the afterlife." he said with a chuckle.

"Anyway, as I said they were trying to steal Pikachu again and nearly succeeded. We found him along with this girl, Hikari, who was battling Team Rocket. After we beaten them, Hikari decided to go with us on our journey. She reminds me a lot of Haruka. You remember her? She was with me when I challenged you for the Abilitysymbol."

She nodded. "Yeah, I remember her."

'And I didn't like her because she had a crush on you.' she added mentally.

"Hikari was also after the contests, just like Haruka. Both of them are really nice." he said.

Lila flinched at this sentence and tears started to swell up in her eyes.

'As I thought. He already found himself a nice girl over there.'

Sato could feel that something was wrong with Lila and looked at her, trying to figure out what was bothering her. Then he realised it and mentally facepalmed himself.

'Sato you dumbass! Why did I say that? I'm such an idiot when it comes to love.'

Sato touched Lila slightly on her shoulder. He was glad that she didn't move away.

"Lila. Look at me please. What's wrong? Is it about Hikari and Haruka? They are more like sisters to me, don't worry."

Lila blushed at that. 'Does he feel the same like me? But why can't I sense anything from him? Is he able to hide his feelings from me?'

"Sato-kun can you continue with your story? I want to hear more about it." she said, now smiling again.

"Of course Lila." he said.

"After Hikari decided to come with us we were on our way to the first arena where I got my first badge after some struggle. On our way to the second badge Pokémon Hunter J stole my Pikachu. I can assure you, this woman was the pure evil. She hunted Pokémon for money and didn't even care about her own henchmen!" Sato said with a shudder at this memory.

"What do you mean by 'she was'? Were you manage to capture her?" Lila asked.

"No. She was too strong. She was killed when her airship crashed into Lake Acuity and exploded."

And Sato started to talk again. He told Lila stories she wouldn't even believe when it would had happened to herself. But there was this fire in his eyes. She could feel his sincerity and the feelings that came along with his memories.
He told her about Team Galactic and their plan to use the legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia to create a new universe. He told her about his battles against the gym leaders and how Team Rocket constantly tried to steal Pikachu but failed every time.

"The most amazing thing that happened to me was that the three lake Pokémon decided to bond with Hikari, Brock and me to defeat Team Galactic."

"What?" Lila asked, obviously shocked. She knew that many crazy things could happen when Satoshi was around but she didn't expect that.

"You heard right. Azelf, the spirit of willpower sided with me." he said smirking.

"But that was not the craziest thing that happened. When I fought in the Sinnoh league I lost at the semi-final against a trainer named Takuto. He used a Latios and a Darkrai against me."

"A Darkrai?" Lila asked, wondering if she was just dreaming a very crazy dream.

"Yeah, I was able to defeat it, but I finally lost against his Latios. But even that wasn't the craziest thing that happened to me."

"Go on." Lila said. "Theres nothing what can surprise me now."

"Okay, as you wish. When we were camping at some ruins near a town named Michina Town, there was a girl who could connect with the heart of any Pokémon. She used that to call Dialga and Palkia to help us as a enraged Giratina was demolishing the ruins. After we could stop Giratina from its rage, a fourth legendary Pokémon appeared."

"A fourth? Aren't those three already enough?" Lila asked laughing. "okay which one was it? Rayquaza? Ho-oh? Mew?"

"Arceus."

"Wh-Wh-What? Sato-kun you're making fun of me!" Lila said. She didn't believe her ears. The Alpha Pokémon? But she could feel his truthfulness. He would never lie to her.

"You sure are full of surprises, Sato-kun. Is there more you can tell me about your travels?"

And while Sato started his stories again, Lila started to drift off into the land of dreams. The sun was setting down over the mountains and it was already late.

Sato noticed that Lila was asleep as he felt her head resting on his shoulder. He blushed at this sight but couldn't help a smile.

He was very tired from his long flight to Tojoh Falls and decided to go to sleep as well. As soon as he finished his thought, he laid down on the couch next to Lila. He was asleep immediately.

Lila snuggled closer to him in his sleep and he puts an arm around her unconsciously.

And while Pikachu and Espeon were cuddling on a pillow near the fireplace, Sato and Lila fell asleep in each others arms.

Wow! This chapter was definitely the most difficult to write since I started with this story.

I hope that I got the Sinnoh travels at least a bit in the right direction. But I wonder what will happen when they both wake up at the next morning? Hehehe^^

Please review and give me feedback and help me to make this story better!

So long my friends!
