Chapter 8: Once loved, now unconnected
(Page71)
Rhen and Welton continued hand in hand down the busy street looking for something to do "ok just calm down Welton, its only for today" Welton thought to himself and then spotted a diner just nearby a healthy garden "say Rhen, how about we have a nice dinner with just me and you?" asked Welton wishing he hadn't said that "oh Welton that sound lovely, I'd would gladly take you up on that" replied Rhen as she wouldn't have guess Welton saying that, they both went up to one of the waiters and asked for a table for two "certainly, right this way" said the waiter and lead them to their table which was outside and near the garden "now then, what can we get you on a night like this?" asked the waiter as Rhen and Welton browsed the menu "I'd like to order the spaghetti carbonara with less cheese" said Rhen as she watched Welton still looking at the menu "and I think I'll have the BBQ ribs please" said Welton "excellent choice, and your drinks?" again ask the waiter "give us one of your finest wine, if you please" again said Rhen as the waiter scribbled it all down on his pad "ok one royal blackberry wine coming up" said the waiter as he left them alone, Welton just sat there tapping a rhythm on the table just to past the time while Rhen just stared warmly at him with her hands on her cheeks "so Welton are you and Zan getting alone?" asked Rhen as Welton stopped tapping "oh yes indeed, he's got some powerful magic that even I would like to learn" said Welton as he was caught under Rhen's eyes staring at him "wow that amazing but he doesn't know one magic that you can learn" again said Rhen keeping the conversation going "really? What might that be?" asked Welton feeling proud inside "the magic that brings me closer to you" said Rhen and leaned forward and kissed Welton on the cheek as he blushed heavily "why thank you Rhen, I'll surly remember this" said Welton pretending he was into her "that's just one of many that has yet to come" said Rhen when she noticed the waiter walking towards with a cooler stand in one hand while holding the wine and two glasses in the other hand "here you go, fresh from the garden" said the waiter as he placed the glasses on the table and pulled the cork off the bottle as it gave off a load pop and then poured the dark red wine into their glasses "your food will be on its way shortly, in the meantime enjoy our bestselling wine" said the waiter and placed the bottle into the cooler stand and headed inside, Rhen lifted her glass and took a sip from the freshly cold wine as it swirled around her mouth "oh my, this wine is fabulous, Welton you must try this" said Rhen as her mood was soothed with that first sip so Welton looked at his glass and picked it up and he too took a sip from it and Rhen was right the wine was fabulous "my word they weren't kidding when they say it was their bestselling wine" said Welton as he can still sense the taste inside his mouth "we got to buy a bottle, promise me you will" said Rhen as Welton nodded his head and soon saw the waiter reflection on Welton's glass heading over to them with their food nice and hot "one spaghetti carbonara with less cheese for the fine lady" said the waiter as he place Rhen's food right in front of her along with her and Welton's cutlery "and one BBQ ribs for the lucky gentleman" again said the waiter and placed Welton's food in front of him along with a sharp knife "enjoy your meal" said the waiter "thank you" thanked Rhen and Welton as the waiter went back inside, "this is nice, just me and you all alone on a wonderful night like this" said Rhen as she passed Welton's cutlery over to him "it sure is isn't it, well then lets satisfy ourselves with this fancy food" replied Welton as he and Rhen happily eat away nice and slowly.

Meanwhile Trivain and Ronfork had just left from a different diner and was still looking for something just to pass the time "I can't believe you ordered a roast for your main course" said Trivain as she walked side by side with Ronfork "when you're on patrol you got to be well organised" replied Ronfork as they continued down the street when they noticed Rhen and Welton over at the diner eating away "hay look, there's Rhen and Welton why don't we see how well their doing" suggested Ronfork as Trivain nodded her head and both made their way to the diner, Rhen and Welton were still in the middle of eating their meal until eventually Welton noticed Trivain and Ronfork "oh hay there you two" said Welton as Rhen turned round to see who it was "hello Welton, I see your having a nice time you two" said Ronfork as Welton took a bite from his BBQ ribs " indeed we are, so where have you been?" asked Rhen "oh we just had a quick bite to eat from a different diner, so now we're just having a stroll together" answered Trivain as Ronfork looked at her "well you should try this place next time, they do some great food, not to mention some fabulous wine" suggested Rhen as she showed them the bottle "thanks we'll keep that in mind, well I'll leave you be" said Trivain as she and Ronfork waved goodbye to them as they decided to head into the garden.
The pair began strolling paw in paw down a stone path as they looked at the flowers within the night "you know, I've never been to a garden at night, usually Vampton is so gloomy at night" said Trivain as she then decided to go arm in arm with Ronfork just so she could get close to him "you a charm you know that, I mean I've never seen a dark type who's kind and gentle such as yourself" said Ronfork as Trivain blushed warmly and rested her head on top of Ronfork's golden shoulder pad as they continued walking, soon Ronfork spotted a round, white wooden gazebo surrounded by roses "hmm may as well take it to the next level" Ronfork thought to himself as he and Trivain walked off the path and along the grass towards the gazebo, once under it Ronfork sat down with Trivain lying on his side as smiled warmly and looked at the Lucario knight's face "see, isn't this perfect, much better than what Rhen and Welton are doing" whispered Trivain when she noticed Ronfork was looking for something and after a second hiding his head he got up and turned round to Trivain as she then noticed a rose in Ronfork's mouth "would you care to dance?" proposed Ronfork taking the rose out of his mouth and held it with his paw while reaching his other paw out towards Trivain, Trivain smiled and took Ronfork's paw as she got up from her seat "I would gladly accept" answered Trivain as they both began to dance slowly under the gazebo like it was a ballroom, after a few twirls and spins together Ronfork finished it off by lowering her down nearly touching the ground "you dance well" said Ronfork as Trivain took his rose from his mouth and placed it in hers "so do you, shall we continue?" said Trivain as Ronfork lifted her back up and continued dancing with Trivain close to him, after that they both sat back down as Trivain laid her head on Ronfork's lap "you know, I think I want to spend my whole life just to be with you" said Trivain as Ronfork stroked her white furry head "that very generous of you, I promise we will get to know each other a lot more" said Ronfork as he looked down at her as she lifted her head and smiled at him and then snuggled her head back on Ronfork's lap "my research is complete" Ronfork smiled to himself and nodded off.
(Page73)
On the opposite side of town Zan and the girls were still looking for something to pass the time "there's got to be something that me and the girls can enjoy" Zan said to himself as he looked at the girls looking a bit sad "hay, what's wrong" Zan asked "we've been walking for too long, can we take a break somewhere" asked Ti'e'yong as her little legs began to ache "don't worry we'll find something" he promised and then heard what turned out to be a group of young Pokémon laughing and clapping so without hesitation Zan took the girls hand and made their way towards the source of the noise, once they found the source they all looked to see a bunch of Pokémon sitting down on the cold pavement watching a Slowking magician performing several magic tricks that wowed them all "oh a magic show, I love these" said Ti'e'yong with excitement and pulled Zan toward the cheerful Pokémon with the little Eevee still holing Zan's wing, Ti'e'yong and the little Eevee carefully moved around the Pokémon as they moved their heads just to see the magician and eventually the girls managed to get a front row seat and looked up as the magician continued with the show "and for my next trick, I shall make a Buneary come out of my hat" said the Slowking magician as he removed the black top hat off from his head showing his shell and placed it magical in midair and then wiggled his fingers over it "mumbo jumbo!" he chanted and then a cute fluffy Buneary poked its nose out from the hat as the children awwed at its fluffiness when then all of a sudden the Buneary jumped out of the hat and landed on Ti'e'yong's lap as she raised her arms up in surprise "well hello there cutie" giggled Ti'e'yong as she stroked the Buneary fluffy ears until she noticed the other Pokémon shifting their backsides towards her just so they can pet the Buneary too, Zan couldn't help but stare at the Pokémon all scrunched together as they took it in turns to stroke the Buneary, the Slowking magician scratched his shell and then looked towards Zan as he shrugged his shoulders in reply "kids, what are you going to do with them" gestured Zan as the magician smiled in agreement and then insisted him to come up onto the stage since he was a druid after all, the Pokémon then looked to see the magician towering over them as smiled down at them and carefully picked up the Buneary and placed it in the hat which still hovered in midair "everyone say goodbye to Mr. Buneary" said the magician as he hovered his hands over the rabbit "bye Mr. Buneary" waved all the young Pokémon as the magician wiggled his fingers and in an instant the Buneary vanished in a puff of smoke and then placed the hat back over his shell "now you are in for a treat, what I have here is a druid" said the Slowking magician as Zan waved at the Pokémon "what's a druid?" asked a Starly from the back "it's best if you watch and find out" suggested Zan as the magician nodded his head and stepped aside, the Pokémon watched with interest as Zan closed his eyes and held out his wing in a way like he was offering something and suddenly a big ball of golden light appeared in front of them and after that he began to move his wings in different angles as the ball of light began to morph into many animal shapes which amazed the children "heh you haven't seen anything yet, watch this" said Zan enjoying himself as he summoned more balls of golden light in front of him, he then levitated them above his head as it span madly above him and after a few seconds he forced the balls up high in the sky as they dimmed out and then lit the sky up with an outstanding fireworks display, the young Pokémon were overwhelmed with excitement and in an instant applauded Zan once the show had come to an end "thank you, you've been a wonderful audience" thanked Zan as he and the Slowking magician bowed at the young children.
(Page74)
After having their spectacular meal and noticing Zan's firework display from the other side of town Rhen and Welton were now ready to leave "tell me Welton, did that fill you up?" asked Rhen as Welton smiled back at her "it sure did, and now I think a walk down the park is the best option to straighten this out" replied Welton as the waiter came to their table to collect the plates "can we also have the bill please" asked Rhen as the waiter showed them a kind smile "I think our management won't mind letting you two off free of charge, after all your here to have a wonderful time" said the waiter as this surprised Rhen "really? But that food looked awfully expensive" again said Rhen as the waiter replied them by shaking his head sideway "don't worry, we got plenty of money to keep this diner going, please go off on your date oh and keep the bottle" said the waiter as he picked up the bottle of wine and pulled out a clean cork out from his pocket and squeezed it in "you really mean it?" again asked Rhen thinking it was a joke "no I insist take it" answered the waiter and handed the bottle to Rhen "thank you so much" thanked Rhen as she shaken the waiter's hand "you take care now, and feel free to come by our place in the morning, we serve some marvellous breakfast" suggested the waiter "ok will do" waved Rhen and Welton as they headed over to the garden.
Rhen and Welton continued walking hand in hand as they walked alone the stone path "this place is wonderful" smiled Rhen as she looked around making out a few flowers next to them when then all of a sudden she spotted two shadowy shapes sitting down in a nearby gazebo, Rhen squinted her eyes and noticed Ronfork smiling there with Trivain laying her head upon his lap from there Rhen tapped Welton's left shoulder as he turned round to see what was up "look over there" was all that Rhen said to convince him to look and then smiled at the sight and then turned round to Rhen only to change his smile into a devilish smirk as Welton soon understood what she had in mind, as soon as Ronfork closed his eyes Rhen snuck under the gazebo and quietly sat on the other side of Ronfork while Welton hid behind the gazebo snickering to himself as very slowly Rhen shifted away from Ronfork to make room for what she was going to do, then taking her time she slowly lowered her head down onto a little space on Ronfork's lap and as her head touched the cold plated armour Ronfork felt confused when he felt something on his lap, he opened his eyes only to lift his arms up in the air with shock and let out a little yell which woke Trivain up in an instant only to have her eyes widen at the sight of the Gardevoir lifting her head up and faced to spooked up pair, Welton fell backward bursting with laughter as Trivain and Ronfork looked out from behind the gazebo to see the Gallade laughing on the grass "ok that's quite enough now" snarled Ronfork as Trivain tried to comfort him "oh did we got you good, you've should've seen the look on your faces" laughed Rhen as the pair was not amused "you do know you're going to regret this" warned Trivain as she sat there with both paws on Ronfork's shoulder pads "I don't care, your faces were all I needed to see" Rhen continued laughing as she walked over to Welton and lifted him onto his feet and ceased laughing "come on my lady, let's leave these two out of our reach" said Ronfork as he took Trivain's paw and left the couple alone with the gazebo, as soon as they were out of sight she snatched Welton's hand and took him under the gazebo "what more do you want from me?" asked Welton as Rhen sat him down fast.
(Page75)
Welton soon got his answer as Rhen straighten her gown out and sat comfortably on Welton's lap "you're a Gardevoir of many things" said Welton as he struggled to comfort himself with Rhen's chest horn resting against his back "hold me Welton" asked Rhen kindly and as he was told he slowly wrapped his arms around her as he felt at ease embracing her and very soon Rhen thought this was a perfect time to again tell Welton again how much she cares for him "Welton there been something I've been wanting to tell you for sometime" said Rhen as she looked up at Welton revealing a soothing warm smile "didn't you ask about this already?" said a now worried Welton knowing what she was going to say "please just hear me out, please" said Rhen as her smile slowly fell "I'm sorry, please tell me, what is it you want to tell me?" apologises Welton as Rhen turned round and wrapped her arms and legs around him and then stared deeply into Welton's eyes as this began to make Welton very scared, "Welton, we been on this quest for some time now, and every time I look at you in and out of battle you make me feel safe in your arms, you are quite an interesting type and that's what makes me happy" explained Rhen as she placed one hand on Welton's cheek and rubbed the side of him gently, Welton began to feel very strange something he never felt before, he began quivering with anxiety while his body temperature rise tremendously as Rhen body pressed against his "Rhen what are you doing?" worried Welton as Rhen lifted his head towards hers "you have a gorgeous face Welton, I think you and I will get along fast" giggled Rhen as her warm breath brushed by Welton's face "please Rhen, don't ignore my question, just say it..." before Welton could finish his sentence Rhen pressed her green finger on his lips "not another word" whispered Rhen and soon Welton was about to experience something he'd never been given, Rhen gave Welton another look in the eyes of her closest friend and tighten her hold on him and then without a moment too soon Rhen kissed him on the lips and held him there in that position for a few seconds until Welton couldn't take it anymore and launched himself from his seat as Rhen was thrown from one side and landed on the left seat of the gazebo and then set her sights on Welton with fright as he stood there with his head down "Welton, I'm, I'm sorry I don't know what came over me" apologized Rhen but it didn't do any good for Welton was now staring down at her in a panting way "you just won't stop won't you, for your information I suggest you take Ronfork out instead, goodbye!" shouted Welton and took off from the gazebo and quickly left the garden, Rhen just sat there for a few seconds as tears began to pour down her face and then gave out a tremendous outburst of sorrow as loads more tears gushed out of her eyes, she continued like this for over five minutes and was soon slowly recomposing herself but her heart was still shattered as her and Welton's date was ruined "but why, I, I thought Welton was really looking forward to that moment, but now, now is all over, I'll never befriend Welton again, I think I may as well go..." sniffed Rhen when all of a sudden she saw Zan and the girls heading her way, when Rhen knew it was them she ran to them and before Zan could say anything Rhen fell towards him and wrapped her arms round him as tears returned and again wept down her face "Rhen what's the matter, and where's Welton?" asked Zan as he stroked her back easing her sadness "it's, it's Welton, he, he left me" sniffed Rhen as her tears dripped from her chin and landed on Zan's robes, Zan didn't know how to resolve it so he and the girls decided to leave.
(Page76)
As Zan, Rhen and the girls made it back to the central plaza the girls noticed Trivain and Ronfork heading there way "hay you made it the parade is about to..." said Trivain when she just watched them walk right pass them without a word "what's with them all of a sudden, and where's Welton?" said an angered Trivain while Ronfork sort of knew what was going on, Zan made a stop at the Forlore's inn and asked Ti'e'yong and the Eevee to take care of Rhen "and what about you?" asked Ti'e'yong while holding Rhen's hand as she was still feeling heartbroken "I'm going to have a word with Welton, I might me a little late for the parade" replied Zan and marched off down the street "I hope he can make things work out" worried Rhen and walked with the girls inside the inn and up to her bedroom.
"Welton where are you, we need to talk!" Zan called out drawing attention around him, he had already searched the north, east and south sides of Forlore and was certain he would find him here on the west side "I know your here Welton, no use hiding!" again Zan called out but there was no answer only more attention drawn from the crowd nearby, but then someone caught his eye as Zan looked towards a tavern to his right and noticed Welton leaving the front door and walked away without noticing Zan behind him "stop right there Welton!" shouted Zan and charged towards him as Welton turned around to spot the Xatu druid running towards him in a way like he was about to attack him so he quickly turned round and did his best to run away for him but to no use Zan was gaining on him, after running around having no idea where he was going Welton ended up at the central plaza but before he could run around the fountain Zan grabbed him as they both ended up diving into the reservoir as the nearby crowd looked with shook "what the hell do you want!" said a wet yet angered Welton "I want you to apologize to Rhen for what you did back there!" Zan shouted back as he lifted Welton up by the robe's collar "I didn't hurt her, my reaction to her was too much!" again Welton shouted back "still you could at least apologized!" Zan shouted one more time and thrown Welton back into the fountain's reservoir "ok you ask for it!" roared Welton getting up and quickly landed an unexpected blow to Zan face as he fell out of the reservoir and quickly got back up "so be it, I'll make you apologize!" yelled Zan and rushed in and punched back sending Welton backwards a bit, the crowd became horrified as small yells lit up the street which alerted Rhen and the girls "what's going on out there?" wondered Rhen as she quickly looked out from the balcony to only look in fright as Welton and Zan continued their fight in front of everyone "you two please stop this!" Rhen called down but to no use Welton and Zan continued throwing punches one by one, "right I've had just about enough with you!" shouted Welton and drawn out his staff and began to charge it with strange dark magic and without a moment of delay he cast a dark magic pulse as it swept out across the plaza, Zan hoped to block it by using his light magic as a shield but it wasn't enough for the dark magic pulse shattered right through it and impacted Zan as he yelled with pain and fell forward colliding onto the hard pavement "Zan!!!" the girls cried out, as soon as Welton noticed the girls watching him a group of Lucario guards grabbed him from behind and arrested him "you have to right to remain silent!" barked one of the guards and took Welton away "quick you two go and attend to Zan while I go and straighten this out" ordered Rhen as they all sprang into action.
(Page77)
The crowd looked with dread as Zan laid helplessly on the stone path that is until Ti'e'yong and the Eevee arrived to help "Zan are you alright say something anything!" cried Ti'e'yong and was relieved when Zan groaned and lifted his head up "oh my head, that was some powerful magic back there" said Zan weakly "Zan hang in there, we're going to get help" said Ti'e'yong as she got up while the Eevee held Zan's head upright "is there a medic in the crowd?!" demanded Ti'e'yong and looked around as the crowd looked to each other until there was an answer "right here" said a feminine voice, Ti'e'yong looked to her left and saw a fine Blissy dashing up to them wearing a dark blue dress and crouched down at Zan to inspect the damage "hmm no sign of any major damages, although his body is paralyzed from that attack" informed the female Blissy "so is he going to be alright?" asked a worried Ti'e'yong "I'm afraid I can't do anything about it, but if you go to the fortune teller's place I'm sure the owner might know something" suggested the Blissy "ok then" replied Ti'e'yong and tried to lift Zan up but it was no use for he was too heavy for her to carry "here I'll help you" said the Blissy and lifted him up and hung his left wing around her while Ti'e'yong held his right "thank you" said Ti'e'yong as she tried to keep Zan suspended and very slowly took him towards Jane's fortune telling shop.
Meanwhile Rhen was following the Lucario guards who had Welton still tightly in their grasp as they made their way to the king's castle "I can't believe he would do such a thing, I should turn away from him right now, but I got to make up for my hasty actions I did back there" Rhen thought to herself as she watch the guards take Welton through the front door as Rhen slowly walked along the bridge towards it until she was stopped by the two Lucario guards guarding the front door "is there something you want to tell us?" asked one of the guards "umm yes there is, can you let me in so I can speak to the prisoner that your men had just taken in?" Rhen asked back but all she got was the guards shaking their heads from side to side "sorry no can do my lady" said the other guard as Rhen lowered her head as she turned away and headed back but then as she lifted her head she saw Ronfork and Trivain standing there at one end of the bridge "hay Rhen, what are you doing here, the parade's about to begin" said Ronfork feeling puzzled "I wanted to enter the castle so I can apologize to Welton who is now been taken prisoner" replied Rhen as she looked over her shoulder to see the two guards standing their post "he's been taken in?!" said a surprised Trivain "yes, he had a big fight with Zan and ended up beating him using some powerful dark magic" explained Rhen and made the pair more worried "in that case then, I'll ask the guards to let you in" suggested Ronfork "oh thank you" said Rhen and followed them back over to the front door "ah Ronfork I take it you want to see the prisoner?" asked the guard as he noticed Rhen standing nervously next to Ronfork "indeed, my friends would also like to see the prisoner" replied Ronfork as the guards nodded and went to open the door "thank you" said Ronfork as they entered the castle while the guards closed the doors, even when it was dark outside inside was still bright as day "the prison ward should be this way" said Ronfork pointing to a spiral staircase to the right leading downwards "I'm sure Welton didn't mean to hurt Zan" said Rhen in worry "if he did then I'm afraid it doesn't look good for our team" replied Trivain which scared Rhen, she didn't want to lose her only love on the team for all her life as she know it.
(Page78)
Rhen, Ronfork and Trivain carefully made their way down the spiral staircase that lead to the gloomy prison ward "they could at least warm this place up a bit" suggested Rhen as she and the others reached the bottom and made their way down the corridor looking at the empty cell on both sides "tell me about it, I would've caught a cold if I'd stay there any longed" said Trivain and was told to stop by Ronfork which made the girls look over his arm to see the Lucario guards gathering at one cell which turned out to be Welton's cell "ah Ronfork, I take it your heard the news?" said one of the guards as the others tuned round to him "yes I have and I would like to have a word with him, alone with us if you please" Ronfork said back "it shall be done, you heard him let get back out on patrol" ordered the guard as he lead his troop out of the prison ward, Welton suddenly heard soft footsteps heading his way so he got up to see who it was and he was surprised to see Ronfork and Trivain while feeling guilty when he also noticed Rhen by their side "what bring you here?" asked Welton with sorrow "we heard what you did, Rhen told us all about it and I think you should apologize for what you did to Zan" answered Ronfork but Welton couldn't come right out with it instead he sat down on a old suspended bench and lowered his head "I couldn't help it, he looked like he was going to attack me, and he did" mumbled Welton as they all shook their heads side to side "no you're wrong, he wanted to stop you so you can apologize to Rhen here" again said Ronfork but to still no use the gloomy Welton still sat there "maybe I should talk to him, you have the keys?" asked Rhen, Ronfork nodded his head and reached down to his belt a took the ring of keys from around it and inserted then twisted the key into the lock until there was a loud clunk as the metal bars opened letting Rhen inside "Welton it's me, can we talk just to ourselves?" asked Rhen as she took a seat next to Welton "why do you still care for me, didn't you see what I've done to Zan, I'm a monster" said Welton as Rhen saw tears running down his face "you're not a monster, listen I think I understand how you feel" again said Rhen as she reached up and dried Welton's eyes "you do?" sniffed Welton as he felt Rhen's soft green finger dabbing on the bottom of his eye "yes, you see I heard that you're shy, but don't get me wrong because I know it's natural for your age, but look into my eyes and tell me, will you no longer be scared when you are by our side?" asked Rhen as she turned Welton's face towards hers, Welton didn't know what to say her eyes were gazing deeply into his in a way that she wanted to help him so instead of an answer he slowly wrapped his arms around Rhen as they both tightly embraced each other " you won't be scared anymore?" Rhen asked one more time "I won't, and that's a promise" sniffed Welton as Rhen patted his back gently like if he was her younger brother "I'm so happy for them Ronfork" said Trivain as she looked at the pair still holding one another "I think Welton has finely forgiven her, so I guess we can spare him the sentence" replied Ronfork and went to open the bars "come on you two, we got a night to enjoy" said Ronfork as Rhen and Welton let go of each other and headed out the cell "are you really letting me off, even when I harmed a druid?" said a puzzled Welton "as long as you forgive Zan when we meet him, then your free from charges" replied Ronfork as he looked at Rhen who then held Welton's hand "thank you" she said and smiled at Welton as he smiled back "it won't happen again" replied Welton as Ronfork and Trivain held each other's paws and made their way out of the prison ward and then out of the castle.
(Page79)
After leaving the castle Rhen, Welton, Trivain and Ronfork made their way back to the central plaza "where do you think Zan has been taken in to rest?" asked Rhen "hay you lot!" called a feminine voice, they all looked the their left and saw the same Blissy medic that Ti'e'yong had met "are you here looking for Zan?" asked the Blissy almost out of breath "yes as a matter of fact we are, why do you know where he is?" Rhen asked back "yes I do, come this way please" replied the Blissy and lead them towards Jane's fortune telling shop, "you sure this is the right place, I don't think he'll get much help in there" said a puzzled Ronfork looking at the rather old looking house "of course this is the place, says here that another druid owns this shop" the Blissy said back "another druid? I wonder who could it be" said Rhen and thanked the Blissy as she lead the others into the fortune telling shop.
Once inside the main room was empty and even the candles had been blown out "perhaps we we're too late" said Ronfork but then realised he was wrong when they all heard what sounded like Zan moaning slightly in pain, they all walked round the table and entered a door in the back which revealed Zan lying on a bed with the druid standing beside him with her hands hovering over his chest while Ti'e'yong and the Eevee sat on little stools at one end of the small room waiting to see if Zan would get any better that is until they noticed the others entering the room "oh hello Rhen are you feeling any better?" asked Ti'e'yong as she got off her stool and stood in front of them "I'm feeling better now thank you, and I think you could say the same to Welton" thanked Rhen as Welton walked over to druid to see who is was and it turned out to be quite a shock to him "Jane?!" asked Welton, they all looked to see the druid turn around to reveal her face which indeed it was Bellossom Jane "hello Welton, I see you came to your senses" greeted Jane as she looked at Rhen who waved politely at her "long time no see Jane" smiled Rhen "indeed it has, now I take it your here to see how Zan's doing?" questioned Jane as she turned round quickly when she sensed Zan's powers returning as he then opened his eyes to see everyone heads looking down at him "oh did I miss a party or something?" joked Zan as he sat up and greeted them all with open arms well except for Welton "hay Zan, are you going to be ok" worried Welton knowing that he did some real damage to him back there "your powers proved to be quite strong that even I couldn't bested it, but no matter since I'm going to be in tip-top shape in a few hours" replied Zan as he noticed Welton looking at him in a serious way "listen Zan, I'm truly sorry for harming you back there, I was under so much pressure that I couldn't control myself, I already forgive Rhen for what I did over at the garden, and so I say it again, I'm truly sorry for what I have done" apologized Welton and looked with happiness as Zan smiled and nodded his head "I am thankful that you came through it in the end, and I'm also happy that you forgive Rhen, now can you please help me up?" asked Zan, Welton nodded his head and held his hand as he lifted Zan off from the bed and onto his feet "thank you Jane for making Zan well again" thanked Welton as Jane nodded to him "just be sure you won't do that again, I can't afford to be the only druid in the coast, now I do believe the parade is about to begin, hurry now" said Jane happily as she watch everyone slowly made their way out of the fortune telling shop and back to the central plaza "well everything is back where it should be" chuckled Zan as they heard the crowd nearby.
(Page80)
When they all arrived at the central plaza they all looked with joy to see hundreds of Pokémon cheering on the sides as the parade marched down the road with dancers, jugglers, percussion groups and many others Pokémon "phew we made it just in time" said Rhen as they all quickly got off the road and blended with the crowd to watch the ongoing parade "I can't see" whined Ti'e'yong jumping up to try and get a glance of the parade even the Eevee was doing the same "here let me help you" said Welton and got down and lifted Ti'e'yong up onto his shoulders as Ti'e'yong felt much happier since she hasn't been given one for quite a while "hay there why don't you get on mine?" Ronfork asked the Eevee and watched her lift her arms up as Ronfork then lifted her up onto his shoulders "look at our boys, having fun with the little one's" Rhen nudged Trivain "don't worry, soon it'll be our turn" Trivain nudged her back and turned her sights back to the parade.
As soon as the last set of Pokémon in the parade had marched by they then noticed a fireworks display going off over by the gardens "oh wow, look at all the colours" said a jolly Ti'e'yong still sitting on top of Welton's aching shoulders "I agree, but this isn't the perfect view" said Rhen as the surrounding building slightly blocked their view "hay follow me, I know a great spot" suggested Ronfork and lead them out of the central plaza which made Rhen and the others curious "you sure, looks to me your trying to find the worst spot ever" said Rhen "trust me, you'll be thanking me soon" replied Ronfork and then stopped at a church "a church?" said a puzzled Welton as he looked as Ronfork opened the wooden doors "hurry, to the bell tower" ordered Ronfork, they all realised what Ronfork was getting at so they quickly dashed inside and made their way up a spiral staircase like a pack of elephants, once they made it to the top they quickly looked outside and was amazed to see the whole fireworks lighting the sky "oh wow, it's perfect" said Ti'e'yong as everyone else took a look at the ongoing fireworks "you did a wonderful job finding this place" thanked Trivain and leaned over Ronfork's left arm as she held his right paw and relaxed herself "whatever make you swing that way, then I'm ok" Ronfork laughed silently as he then noticed Rhen doing the same to Welton although Ronfork was thinking he was going to do the same as to what he did back over the garden but instead he wrapped his right arm under her shoulder "you're not going to freak out are you?" snickered Ronfork looking at the reformed couple "I promised her" answered Welton and rested Rhen's head upon his left shoulder and continued watching the radiant red, blue, and green lights emitted from the firework, after the finale they all applaud happily "I can say that this was a magical moment for all of us" said Zan as he looked at Ronfork and Trivain smiling at each over and then looked at Rhen and Welton as they stared into each other's eye "I'll never forget this day" said Welton as Rhen smiled warmly at him "I believe you won't, you made me very happy, even after that little accident" giggled Rhen and kissed Welton on the cheek as he slightly blushed "Rhen and Welton sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g" sang Ti'e'yong as everyone laughed "ok I think we all had our bit of fun together, but now I think it's time for you girls to head off to bed" suggested Zan as everyone moaned but agreed anyway "not just us, your coming with us" said Rhen as the boys faced went red "what, but we can't" panicked Welton "you can, and you will now come on big boys" grinned Trivain and dragged them all.
