O.O I know that it seemed like I left this story but I really didn't! I lost all of my old files, school has actually taken over my life, I've been trying to write other stories and I really didn't know where to go from my last chapter. I've been asking for ideas guys! And stalker reviews... are scary... but it got me to write this... but I'm not happy about how short it is so please don't kill me ^^. Oh well think of this as an appetizer of stuff yet to come.
Disclaimer: Pokemon isn't mine!

Aurora laid her head against Riley's warm shoulder. She thought about how tired he must be and yet he's still taking care of her. Aurora's mind finally calmed when she saw the light of an exit ahead. "Riley… How'd you find the exit?"

"… I'll explain later! You're still worn out from before." Riley smiled as he kept walking.

"I can walk the rest of the way Riley! Really I can…" The light bounced off of his eyes making them as blue as the sky when he looked down at her.

"Alright… I guess." He set her down softly and they continued walking. "You know… its funny…"

Aurora looked over to her companion. "What is Riley?"

They finally made it outside of the cave and he took a deep breath in and looked up into the sky. "It's funny… See I thought that battling with Pokémon was nothing but getting stronger physically, and for a time I thought that all I could do was be a Pokémon trainer or coordinator…"

They sat down on a hollow log. "You want to be a breeder now Riley!" Aurora's face was joking but Riley kept his face straight. "Oh… Well if you do! That's fine to me! I'll be here to help you achieve what ever dream you want!" Her face was soft.

"No…" He faced Aurora eyes filled with a determination that burned brighter than she's ever seen. "I've been practicing this aura thing… And I want to try and train as a guardian with Lucario!"

Aurora's face was placed in shock. "Does this mean you want to give up the Pokémon League?"

Riley smiled looking off in the distance. "No! I want to finish it by myself… Then I want to go to Hoenn region with Lucario as my partner… That doesn't sound too farfetched right?"

"Well no… but…" Aurora didn't know how to answer. "Will I see you again if you want to do this by yourself?"

Now it was Riley's turn to be shocked. "Of course you will!" They both grinned wide. "I want you to witness me, Riley the Pokémon master soon to be Aura Guardian beat the champion of the Sinnoh League!" Riley straightened his hat with the same determination as when he smiled.

Well Riley… It's hard to argue with that confidence! "It's a deal Riley!"

His face was beaming. "Let's all get to a Pokémon center first though." Riley held out his hand to Aurora. "Well?"

There's something different about you Riley! We've only been together for a few weeks since your last gym battle. But you've changed so much… Riley I-… "Agreed, everyone could use a rest."

Aurora sat by the window of the Pokémon center watching Riley train with his Lucario. Look at them train so hard Gardevoir. There isn't a trace of doubt in their hearts is there?

Aurora looked over to see her lead Pokémon nod her head once. "I can't wait… to see how much Riley will grow for the Pokémon league…"
