IgVa walked into the MB and yawed. He was tired from the battles of the day, and just wanted to sleep. However, every time he laid down and tried, he just couldn't fall asleep…

It was starting to get on his nerves, so he decided to get up and walk around. As he walked out of the trailer, he looked at the sky and noticed the moon. He hadn't really noticed how much time passed since they had last been at the MB.

He wanted to ask somebody for help with his sleep problems, but he had trouble to even FIND anyone. David was with CyMe, and IgVa didn't want to disturb them. Iain disappeared with Mele, and from the sounds coming from their room, it wouldn't be wise to go in. Chansey was already asleep, while Julia and April didn't even notice him. And Abi was nowhere to be found…

Abi… Just the thought of the female Absol caused IgVa to blush, without really knowing why.

For him, every step of the dark-type Pokémon was the perfection of grace and power. In the battles they were sent into, IgVa was always impressed at how fast and powerful her attacks were unleashed against their opponents. Compared to her, he was just a newbie at battling. Or at least, he thought so…

In the corner of his eye, he noticed something black and white in the sand. As he turned around, he saw Abi sitting under a dead tree, looking at the moon as well.

IgVa looked nervously at her for a moment, then walked over, sitting down next to her.

She seemed to have already noticed the fire-type, and smiled at him. "Good evening, IgVa!"

"H-h-hi Abi!" IgVa stuttered. "Do you have… Problems sleeping as well?"

She shook her head, "Nah! I'm out every evening to look at the moon for awhile… It reminds me of my mother…"

"Your mother?" Inquired IgVa, looking at her a little more attentively.

She nodded. "Yeah! Her name was Luna, and she taught me how to speak… I never found out how she learned the human language, but one day… She just disappeared. Nobody in our pack seems to know how it even happened. No soul saw her leaving our cave or anything else…"

"O-oh… I'm sorry to hear that…" IgVa replied quietly.

"Well… since then I've always looked at the moon… and I have the feeling… That she looks back at me through the moon somehow…" Abi explained softly.

"How come you're one of David's Pokémon?" IgVa inquired, hoping to change the topic.

She just shrugged in response. "It's a pretty short story… I left my pack to travel on my own, and broke my leg, as I was careless against a Rock-Type… A friend of David found me and took care of me. Then he gave me to David since he had more experience in tending Pokémon, and well… I just thought it might be more fun to stay with this trainer…"

IgVa laughed, chuckling, "That's a better reason than mine! I was just a starter back in Johto, and as my trainer arrived here, he just joined up with these guys, and let me turn into a Shadow Pokémon!"

"Yeah… Yours IS really simple..." Abi yawed in answer.

She looked at him for a moment, before asking, "Say… How about you give me some company in my basket?"

IgVa blushed deeply, and caused the Absol to laugh. "Don't worry! I don't mean it in THAT way! I just meant for the night!"

"O-oh. O-okay!" Stuttered IgVa, and together, they went back into the Mobile Base. Abi laid down in her basket, making enough space for IgVa.

IgVa laid his head on her fur and blushed, but the fur felt so nice that he began to drift off to sleep.

Abi looked at the now-asleep figure of IgVa, and giggled as the Quilava rubbed his head in her fur.

A smile crossed her face as she thought to herself, 'Perhaps... Perhaps he is the one I'm looking for…'

Then she laid her head down on his body, and fell asleep as well.
