Nimbasa Mall
Sunday
1:30 p.m

The Nimbasa Mall was crowded with teens getting ready for school. At one end, a blunette and a red-head were shopping, and picking out clothes for themselves and their friends.

"Kate will love this!" Zoey exclaimed, pulling out a yellow shirt with a Plusle on it. She added it to a pile standing next to her.

"Zoey? When I said we should all hang out I didn't mean you pile clothes on me." Kenny said from under the clothes. Zoey laughed, and patted the boy on his back.

"Sorry. I owe you big time. And besides, at least you aren't in Paul's position." She jerked her thumb over her shoulder. Kenny leaned over to see Dawn handing bag after bag to Paul. "Anyway, I think I'm finished. I just need to grab something for Touko." Kenny followed her through the store to a rack of jackets. She pulled out a light blue denim jacket with silver buttons. "Perfect. Let's go." They met Dawn and Paul at the counter. Dawn pulled out a credit card.

"Here, I'll pay for it." She handed the clerk her card. He rung up all of the clothes and raised his eyebrows.

"2,500 dollars' worth of clothes for you two?"

"Oh no," Dawn said, "we went shopping for our friends too."

"Well that's nice."

"Speaking of them, I wonder where they went?"

"Oh come on! You have to say something!" Lyra snapped at the redhead next to her. They were waiting outside a bookstore for Iris, Solidad, and Trip. After attempting to engage Silver in conversation, Lyra decided that there was something wrong with him. "No one can stay quiet forever!"

"I can." He muttered. Lyra's eyes lit up.

"So you can talk!"

"No, this is just your imagination." Lyra pouted.

"Well you don't have to be rude." She puffed out her cheeks and frowned. Silver chuckled. "What?"

"You look like a Jigglypuff when you do that. Don't be offended, it looks cute." Lyra blushed, but then sapped back into reality.

"Wait a minute. Me, cute?"

"Sorry. I didn't know it was an offense to be called cute."

"No one's ever said that to me before."

"Well don't get used to it." Silver huffed. "Because otherwise, you look like a normal, annoying teenage girl."

"And there goes a normal conversation." Lyra threw her hands up in the air. "Hey! I'm not annoying!"

"Silver's just does that." Trip said as he came out of the store. "He can say something really nice, but then be a total jerk." Solidad and Iris followed him out the store, with Iris fuming. Silver raised an eyebrow at the angry girl.

"What's her problem?" He asked Trip. Trip thought back to earlier in the store.

-Flashback-

"Ooh! This looks good!" Iris picked a book of the shelf. "A mystery, perfect."

"Don't read it." Trip said, coming up behind her. "It's poorly written."

"Who cares?" Iris said.

"The butler did it and the chef dies." Trip told her. Opening the book, Iris's eyes widened. She slammed the book shut and put it back on the shelf.

"Well you're probably reading something stupid." She huffed, crossing her arms. Trip showed her his book, which was entitled 'Physics and You: A study guide'. "Whatever!" Iris snapped. Her stormy mood was soon enlightened when she saw a book section entitled 'Myths and Legends'. She walked over, and happily picked up a book about the legendary dragons, also known as the Tao Trio. "There we go."

"A book about dragons? Really?"

"What's wrong with dragons?" Iris questioned the boy. "Dragons are amazing and majestic. You wouldn't understand."

"Dragons can be easily stopped by ice-types. Ice types are much more powerful."

"WHAT? Well maybe we should battle sometime. Maybe you'll see how good dragons are!"

"Na. I don't battle with amateurs." `

"That's something that a kid would say. Wait…I'M NOT AN AM AMATEUR!"

-Flashback over

"I have no idea why she's so mad." Trip shrugged. He and Silver snuck looks at the two girls. "What's up with the brunette? Don't tell me you think she's girlfriend material." A faint red dusted Silver's cheeks.

"No. My main focus is to do better in school, and to get N a girlfriend."

"Where is he anyway?"

"With that other girl, the one called Touko." While the two boys were discussing things, Solidad teased Iris and Lyra.

"So…" She walked in between the girls. "What do you think of the guys?" Lyra started up.

"N's a little slow, but he means well. Kenny's really nice, and Keith is…crazy."

"What about Silver?" Solidad smirked at Lyra's expression.

"Silver's a soulless jerk who doesn't care about anyone's feelings."

"He's not as bad as Trip." Iris huffed. "He not only hates dragons, he thinks he can go around and ruin things for people just because he doesn't like what they're doing."

"Sounds like you two have crushes."

"To quote Kate: HELL TO THE NO!"

-Break-

"Someone used my catchphrase." Kate swung her head around, looking for the person who had spoken her favorite words. "Oh well." She looked back at what she was doing. She, Barry, and Keith had gone down to a hair salon. Kate claimed she needed to buy her roommate shampoo. Keith was confused, but when she also bought black hair dye, he caught her drift. They were currently in the girl's bathroom, switching the contents of the bottles. Where was Barry you ask?

"There has been a giant diaper explosion in the woman's bathroom! You cannot go in there, for even a Muk army would implode in this stench!" The blonde shouted. "Hold your pee!"

"Your friend's weird." Keith noted. Kate just grinned.

"We're all weird."

"Good point. So who's this going to? Zoey and Lyra are perfectly nice girls."

"That's why I'm not killing them with kindness. I have a crazy roommate named Ursula. Yeah, like the sea witch in 'The Little Manaphy'. She's a total bitch queen."

"So you dye her hair black? That works. Once I dyed Trip's hair purple and Silver's hair brown." Kate laughed.

"Wait…Purple and brown? Like two certain friends of mine?"

"Kind of, yeah."

"You did notice how they were they only ones to not become friends. In classic cliché, those are the couples that work the best."

"You thinking what I'm thinking?"

"The matchmaking game?"

"You bet."

-Break-

Meanwhile, Barry stood outside the bathroom, rapping.

"Yo, I got no girl, I ain't no pimp. I'll never be a gangster, Paul calls me a wimp! I'm CEO Steve Jobs at the Wobs. I'm hard at working making thing-a-ma-bobs. I invented something you ain't ever seen before. It's called the Wobble let me show you some more!" A passerby dropped a ten dollar bill into a hat. "Sweet! I'm going to completely forget about what I was doing and do something stupid!"

"Your friends are interesting." Touko noted. N smiled at her from across the table.

"Well, it seems yours are too. Kate is quite the character." He scooped some ice cream out of a dish. They were sitting in an ice cream shop in the mall. "But she seems like an equivalent to Keith."

"I can tell, by the way they both ran outside and crashed into each other." Touko replied. She gulped down some more of her ice cream. "But enough about that. What type of Pokemon do you have?"

"I have all kinds, but my favorite is Zorua."

"A Zorua? Amazing! You must be from Unova!"

"Yes, but I live in Sinnoh. Although I do love to visit it at times."

"Sinnoh, wow. My starter was a Cubchoo. I've come to collect all kinds though, and I try to rotate my team."

"Breaking it down, break breaking it down. Breaking it down, it's the non-stop summer." Touko grabbed her phone.

GalladeGal: Hey girl.

It was a text from Zoey.

GalladeGal: We're meeting up at the Mall entrance. See you there.

"That was Zoey. We should go." N nodded.

"Let's move."

-Breaking it down!-

So how was it? This is kind of a filler chapter, just to introduce relationship-stuff. The next chapter will include an intense battle…and stuff.

Read, review, and have a nice day!
