"Heh, so food given in memories really doesn't work as real food. Who would have guessed?" thought Walcekite sarcastically as she was returning the plates she used for her dinner. Walcekite was faster than Farrioust and she decided to go to their room to avoid most of the awkwardness.

Their room had two bunk beds, both right next to the wall and across one another, pretty close to the door. There was a big window with a windowsill across the door that had some space from both of the bunk beds. There was a beautiful scenery of the harbor and the ocean, visible through that window and Walcekite even saw the Skyarrow Bridge far to the left.

Walcekite threw her bag on the bed and let out her three pokemon that were more than happy to be released from their pokeballs.

"Sorry to not let you out sooner...Its just that so many things happened," she sat on the lower left bunk bed, where her pokemon were walking around her. She started petting them all and continued. "I should have given you to nurse Joy for examining, but I only thought about it now. I'm such a bad trainer," she retreated her hand.

The pokemon were confused why did the petting stop. They looked at each other and all cried their names joyfully.

"We were just asleep. Nothing bad happened," Meilli tried to calm Walcekite down.

"But I never once let you out to check on you all. Maybe you were even poisoned and I would have made you suffocate."

"We would have moved in our pokeballs and alerted you. Don't worry," Meilli sneaked her head under Walcekite's hand, stepping on her thigh. The Zorua's foot sunk into Walcekite's leg, but she pretended she didn't feel the weight.

"Well, maybe that wasn't so bad, but... if that repeats, I won't forgive myself," decided Walcekite raising the little dark gray pokemon and snuggling it. Pela jumped on Walcekite's shoulder and Chesire laid down on her legs. The warmth from the pokemon Walcekite loved so much was such a wonderful feeling, she never wanted it to end. If she'll be more cautious, it won't.

As the girl laid down, facing the wall, all her pokemon coiled next to her belly and next to each other. Walcekite just couldn't stop petting those cute and warm creatures, always smiling a warm smile at them.


Walcekite was already snoozing, when she heard that someone opened the door to the room.

"Walcekite. Are you awake?" a boy whispered.

The blue haired girl was a very light sleeper and she awoke the moment she heard the creeks of the door, but she felt her brain wasn't at full speed and she didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of Farrioust, so she stayed quiet.

She was facing the wall, but the light blue eyed girl was very curious to see what the black haired boy was doing. She heard pokemon being released from their pokeballs and that Farrioust was shushing them.

Finally, Walcekite couldn't stand it and while moaning like a sleeping person, she turned to the other side and flushed immediately.

"I-I had to turn NOW..." she scolded herself and raised her blanket almost to her eyes. She wanted to turn around back to the wall, but she feared it would be too suspicious.

Farrioust was facing the other bunk bed and the moment Walcekite turned to him, he was taking off his shirt. Though it was rather dark, but light from the street made Walcekite even see the details on the teen boy's back. Farrioust had some fine back muscles, but Walcekite spotted a few scars as well.

"What could have happened to him?" she thought and directed her eyes to the rest of the creatures in the room.

She heard some flaps and spotted a bird pokemon, probably Braviary, landing on the upper bunk bed. A figure similar to a little girl climbed to the top bunk as well. Walcekite remembered only Farrioust's Gothorita that was that size. The two headed pokemon laid down next to his trainer's bed, along with a little smaller, quite light in color, creature - the Larvesta that Walcekite wished to see battle. The Serperior - a long pokemon resembling a snake, coiled at the end of Farrioust's bed and the tallest figure, the Psychic and Fighting type pokemon leaned to the wall that was between his trainer's bed and the window.

Farrioust petted the pokemon he could reach, that meant his Zweilous, Larvesta and Serperior, and laid down under his blanket.

"Good night guys...And Lessa and Murina," he said softly and sighed. "Good night to you too, Walcekite," he said with a strange tone and Walcekite didn't understand what he meant.

"Could he know that I'm awake? But he isn't looking at me, he is looking at the upper bunk bed's ceiling. Ugh, I can't even turn now or he may fully understand that I'm awake. This is ridiculous." Walcekite closed her eyes and wanted to hide, but figured she could only turn after a few minutes.

Finally she didn't even turn - she fell asleep in those few minutes.


"Ugh, what time is it?" she moaned in her thoughts and slowly opened her eyes, "Oh, it's still dark. I can go back to sleep," Walcekite smiled and turned in her bed. She was facing Farrioust's bed again, but something was wrong. She winked a few times and tried to remember how should the real picture be. "Wh-where is he?"

The blue haired girl examined the whole room, while quietly sitting up and spotted all the pokemon - his and hers. She diverted her eyes to the window and finally noticed the boy. He was sitting on the windowsill with his legs outside.

Walcekite froze and laid back down as quietly as possible.

"Did he notice me? He seems lost in his thoughts...and why am I scared if he will see that I'm awake?" the girl didn't understand herself. She noticed a few of his pokemon looking at her and then at the boy. They were rather calm so Walcekite figured it was nothing to worry about.

"Not long now," he whispered looking at the night sky with the moon shining on his face. "Many quests are already complete, although the hardest are ahead. But now they are getting easier after every battle... I will come and find you. I will never give up on you." he took a deep breath and exhaled. "I love you."

"Love?" the blue haired girl froze yet again. She felt she had a soft spot for the boy, but even if such a little thing shatters, the splinters pierce the heart when they try to get out. She covered under her blanket and hid her face.

Suddenly, she heard a shimmering, like someone was sliding, and then a soft thump. She understood that only the black haired boy could have made those sounds and turned to the window. He was gone.

She jumped out of her bed, quite startled, and ran to the window. She saw the boy walking towards the ocean. He stopped right next to edge, it almost seemed like he wanted to jump.

Walcekite felt how his eyes must have sheared the ocean, looking for something. The dark boy raised his arms behind his back and after stretching, left them on the back of hid head and continued walking on the side, towards the Skyarrow Bridge. The blue girl sat on the window, like she saw him sit, and was ready to jump. She felt and incredible wish to go after him, but something landed on her shoulder. She turned around to see a tall figure and its red eyes piercing hers. The creature shook his head and showed Walcekite to go away form the window.

"Why is he out there?" Walcekite was rather hurt, but she still cared for her new friend and so she asked while sitting down on her bed.

The Gallade looked through the window and sighed. He walked towards Walcekite's pokemon and poked the dark grey ball. She let out a purr, thinking her trainer was the one trying to get her attention, but when she saw a strange tall pokemon, she jumped out of her place, making all pokemon on that bed to wake up. Meilli was even about to attack the stranger, but when she quickly peered around, she saw her trainer and got rid of her panic.

"What's going on?" she asked after climbing on Walcekite's shoulder.

"Ugh," the girl looked at the pokemon that, one could say, awoke all her pokemon. Chesire and Pela didn't show much wish to remain awake and their startlingness was much weaker than the Zorua's. Maybe they didn't understand what was happening. "I guess Lysus awoke you so you would translate what he is saying to me," the blue girl looked at the Gallade, like she hoped for approval and she got it - Lysus nodded. "But how did you know?" she asked.

He started speaking to Meilli and she translated the story bit by bit.

"Ummm, he said he heard me sleep talking and figured I knew telepathy," Meilli must have blushed, but it definitely didn't show because of her fur. But non the less, she translated Gallade's words. "His master has lived through much and after the most painful experience, he just broke down and lost control of his emotions... He was called the "Demon Kid" in his town because of how he started acting... Finally, a shaman put a spell on him and let him control his emotions, but he is supposed to walk in the night air, every night, for at least half an hour, to cool his temper... That's why he is out there now and if he ever misses the walk in the night... Well, Lysus says even his trainer's pokemon tremble in fear." Meilli finished translating the Gallade's speech.

"What kind of accident could make him act like that?" Walcekite figured it had something to do with the seeming loss of his love. She shivered with that though. "How much can he love her, to break down so harshly?"

The Gallade shook his head in the sense that he didn't want to talk about the tragedy. Walcekite couldn't stand when something was kept from her, but this was too personal.

"Maybe some day I'll be lucky enough that Farrioust would tell me that himself," thought Walcekite and sighed from her hope. "It just means I have to push my feelings down. At least they aren't strong. Maybe it's for the best that I found out about this now."

The girl returned to the window to glance at the still walking away spiky haired boy and finally went to sleep, as did all the pokemon that were awake, intentionally or not.


"Walcekite, enough sleeping!" someone was shouting. When a shout with similar words repeated, the blue haired girl understood that was another girl shouting.

"Mmm..." Walcekite groaned and yawned, not showing a wish to get up. "Catlesy? Is that you?"

"Of course it's me," she said it in a way Walcekite immediately guessed the blonde girl had a smile on her face. She talked quieter, maybe because she knew that Walcekite finally heard her. "Do you even know how late it is?"

"Late!" she instantly sat up and found her watch in her bag. "...12 pm?! I never sleep that much!" she shouted at herself in her thought. "I'll be right out!" she shouted to Catlesy, so she wouldn't ask again.

Once Walcekite started dressing up, she peeked at Farrioust's bunk bed. Empty. Not even a hint of the boy was left.

"Why didn't he wake me?" Walcekite was irritated. She liked doing everything fast, that included having battles as quickly as possible.

After 15 minutes, both girls finally met on the same side of the door.

"Wow, you are such a Noctowl," Catlesy showed her surprise and giggled. "Oh my, what am I doing just standing here?" the girl with a white summer's dress grabbed Walcekite by the hand. "Let's go. You don't want to be late," and Walcekite was dragged somewhere without even a hint of where they will end up.
