Chapter 6: An old enemy

Two months later, Sato was sitting under a waterfall. He did this every day after the training, so he could calm down. His raven-black hair was now much longer and covered his left eye.

'Tomorrow some trainer will challenge Lila for the Abilitysymbol. I hope I can fight with him before he does. I need a real fight for my training.'

He brushed his hair away from his left eye and concentrated his thoughts on his aura powers. Everything around him was immediately shining with a faint aura and he could see everything clear, despite the darkness caused from the thunder-storm that crawled up.

Sato got up and walked back to the house.

'I hope that Lila has finished dinner. I'm really hungry.'

"HYAAAAAAAAAA!"

Sato looked into the direction the scream came from. It was the house.

"LILA!" he screamed and ran towards the house. Through his aura vision, he could already see the house and Lila crouching down in a corner. A man was standing in front of her. Sato knew this guy. Only one person with dark lilac hair could be so gutless and attack a girl in the middle of such a storm.

"SHINJI! GET AWAY FROM HER!" he roared while taking out his pokeballs. Pikachu jumped from his shoulder and charged his electricity.

"You? I hoped I would never have to see you again but fate seems to hate me." Shinji said, looking at Sato with a frown.

"I came here to get my Abilitysymbol and you will not stop me Satoshi."

"Fight? The only thing I can see is that you are attacking a girl in the middle of the storm without an official fight!"

"That doesn't matter to me. When I beat her, I get my Abilitysymbol."

"Too bad for you Shinji. Before you do anything, you'll have to beat me!" Sato said, fuming with anger.

"Nothing that would be easier than that. Honchkrow, Weavile, attack him."

"Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu launched a powerful Thunderbolt at Honchkrow, which knocked it down with ease.

"How was that possible? How could you see where my Honchkrow was?" Shinji exclaimed, unable to see where Pikachu was running in this darkness.

"Did you really thought I wouldn't get better over the time?" Sato asked him, laughing at his helpless situation.

"Weavile! Use Metal Claw when you see Pikachu!"

"Pikachu, sneak behind them and then use Volt Tackle to knock Weavile out." Sato told his friend mentally.

Pikachu ran into the woods and sneaked behind Weavile.

"Now!"

Pikachu started running towards Weavile, charging electricity on the way.

Weavil turned around, but it was already too late and Weavil was knocked out from a powerful Volt Tackle.

"How? How is that possible?" Shinji exclaimed in rage.

"You don't respect your Pokémon; you use them only as tools. With that attitude, you will neither defeat me nor Lila. She is a lot more powerful than I am, believe me. And now get lost, Shinji. Come back when you have understood what I'm saying."

Shinji gave Sato one last look full of hate and then walked away towards Tojoh Falls.

"Lila? Are you okay?" Sato asked the girl.

"Y-Yeah, Sato-kun. I-I'm fine. He just scared me. Thanks for helping me."

"No problem Lila. I hope he doesn't come back soon, or else he will regret it."

They walked back inside, when Lila spoke up again.

"Did you mean it?" she asked.

"Nani?"

"Do you really think that I'm better than you?"

"Of course! You are thousand times better than me!" Sato said.

Lila blushed at his compliment, feeling that he truly had mean what he said.

"I'm looking forward to meet this trainer who wants to challenge you, Lila."

"Oh I forgot! I thought you could walk into town tomorrow. We're nearly out of supplies. Sorry, Sato-kun."

"It's okay Lila. Write me a note with everything we need and I get it tomorrow. For now, I'm going to bed. Goodnight, Lila."

"Goodnight, Sato-kun." she said.

The next day, Tojoh Falls

Sato walked down the hallway of the mall.

'I have everything we need. Now I need to get a birthday present for Lila.' he thought.

His attention was gained from a big sign at the ceiling:

"Come to the annual Saffron City Poke Festival! Get your VIP-tickets for every ride right here!"

'That would be the perfect present!'

Sato walked over to the clerk and bought two tickets for the festival.

'And now back to the Battle Tower.'

While walking back to the Tower, Sato thought about his feelings for Lila.

'I can't stand it anymore. I need to know if she still feels the same for me. But when am I going to ask her? That's it! When we're at the festival! That means only one month left.'

Back at the Battle Tower, Sato went to bed immediately, worn out from the long day. He was asleep as soon as he reached his bed, so he didn't notice the girl standing in the door, smiling at his sleeping form.

'He looks so peaceful when he sleeps. Sato-kun, when will you finally realize what I am feeling for you?' the girl thought as she walked towards him to put a blanket over him. When she laid the blanket over him, she couldn't resist and kissed him lightly on his cheek. She blushed immediately and leaved the room. Her last thought before she fell asleep was for the person she loved:

'Aishteru, Sato-kun.'
