I am riding a Wailord!, I thought bubbling with joy. I AM RIDING A WAILORD! This can't be real! All around us there was ocean, just water and waves. We left early that morning as Jeff and Tracy watched us depart. I had shed a tear watching my homeland, the only place I had ever known, my home disappear behind the ocean. Maybe it's better I leave, I glance over at Chance, to start a new life.

"So what do you think?!," Theresa spoke, tearing me from my thoughts.

"About what?"

"Uggg," she grunted with frustration," Are you even listening?"

"Uhmm.."

"Ugg. I said, I'm in love with Singe! I want to tell him! I want to tell him when we get across the sea to land, what do you think?"

"Well... if you love someone, you should tell them."

"I know he loves me," Theresa shot her eyes to look at Singe," I know it."

"Then you have nothing to be worried about," I told her.

"I'm not worried," she said," I just want the moment to be perfect!"

Ms. Waila then was hit by a wave that made her rock and everyone grip her blubber to not fall. I held on until she steadied herself again, then we all let go and continued our conversations.

"I wonder...," Theresa mumbled.

"What?," I was curious.

" I want to know if he has had many mates," she stared off into the water.

"Oh.. I bet he has only had one or two," I reassured her.

"I know, but aren't you curious? How many mates has Chance had?!"

I snapped my head up, "Uh..I-I," I cleared my throat," I haven't asked," I slump my head again.

"What?," she whisper yells," Does he know that you are... that you are... pure?"

"No. No, I never said it, but I'm guessing he picked up on it."

"Yeah, I bet. With me, it's different, I've had some partners and I'm sure he has too. I bet he is great, just look at him."

"Theresa!," I laughed.

"What!? I mean, come on!," she laughed. "Soooo... when are you and Chance going to -.."

I cut her off," Theresa! Jeez, I don't know!"

"What!? I'm just saying you want to keep your man satisfied, have you guys done anything?," she looked at me with curious blue eyes.

I turned my face from her, slightly embarrassed," No. We haven't."

"Oh honey... are you nervous?"

"It's no that... well it is a little. What if I'm not good!?"

"Oh Violet! If you're pure, you'll be fine. Just cause you don't know the moves doesn't mean you're bad."

"I just.. I don't know... I don't want to be bad and him be unhappy, you know?"

"Oh yes, I do. All girls go through this before their first time, you're worried and scared about the pain and if all the rumors are true," she chuckled remembering her memories.

"Does it really hurt?," I asked shyly.

Her eyes grew soft" It does, but only for a while, it'll fades. I promise and once you get to the good part, it's all you'll want to do," she laughed. "Especially in spring once you're in heat WHEW," she fanned herself," it's magical."

"We also have no privacy," I confess. "I can barely kiss him without everyone watching us, It's just kills the mood."

"So you have thought about it?," she asks eagerly.

"No, not really. I just.. I don't know. I'm happy he isn't rushing me into it," I smile.

"I know how you feel, half the guys I have dated have wanted to get it on just so they could tell people they hooked up with a Victini. With Singe... it's different, I feel like he wants me for me you know," she dazed off in a dream.

"I do," I looked over to my puffy Growlithe, panting happily watching the waves.

"I think he is the one, Violet," Theresa whispers.

"Singe?"

"Yes! The one in my fortune! Meeting with a loved one for the first time!? Finding love!? I think it's Singe," she giggles uncontrollably.

"Congratulations!," I smiled, Good for her.

"Have you talked to Chance any more about his fortune?," She asked carefully.

My eyes shifted downward, " No I haven't..."

"Well, your love has lasted so far! That's good!," she beamed.

"Yeah, it is. I'm just lucky."

"Yes you are! So am I! We are just lucky!," she paused," Violet?"

"Hmm?"

"I want to tell him now..."

"Now? Like now now?," I was shocked.

"Yeah, I mean why not? There is no perfect moment, you know? It'll be perfect just to tell him and hear him say it back. Oh god... now I'm nervous," she started breathing faster.

"Hey, hey it'll be fine," I looked her in the eyes," You have nothing to be scared of."

"What if her rejects me," her eyes watered,"... Like Jack did."

"Singe is not Jack. If what you said is true, then it must be love," I smiled," and besides how could he not want to be with you?!"

She laughed and wiped the tears away," Wish me luck," she turned to walk down Ms. Waila's massive back to Singe.

"Good Luck," I whispered. I then turned back to the endless water that surrounded us; as much as I loved the water it also made me uneasy. So much! If I fell in, there is no way I would survive.

Carefully, I sauntered to the head of the humongous Pokémon.

"Hello, Ms. Waila!"

"Yes?," she replied.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm fine. I can go a few days without a dive, dear. You don't need to worry," she replied.

"I'm sorry, I just don't want to inconvenience you!"

"It's a little late for that," she laughed.

I laughed too," How much longer to shore?!"

"Not long, a day or so. I am a very fast swimmer," she bragged.

"I can see that! We are making good time! It's almost noon and I feel like we are almost there!"

"Soon," she replied," We will arrive there soon!"

I thanked her and while walking, I looked to Theresa and Singe who were both facing the ocean with their backs to was leaning on him nd his head rested on hers, It seems to be going well, I thought. I wonder if I should talk to Chance about his...past relationships. That's not too much to ask? If I had any I would tell him! What if he hasn't been with anyone either! Oh, wouldn't that be magical! I can dream... What if he-

"Hey there, gorgeous," I hear his silky sweet voice, I turn to see him sitting there with his tongue out.

"Hey. What's up?"

"Nothing, you just seemed lonely over here," he confessed and then took his hind leg to scratch behind his ear.

"I'm fine, but actually, I do want to ask you something."

"Sure," he stand up and shakes his fur then sit down again," what is it."

Oh god! Here it goes... "Well, I was juts curious about you and your past," I say slowly.

"Violet," he smirks, "I've told you all about my past."

Oh, OH NO!," my eyes widen," No, no, not that. I really appreciate you telling me but I meant something else.."

"Oh.. what?," he sat looking at me with his adorable puppy dog eyes; they were so big and brown I wanted to cry!

"Uhmmm, well I wanted to ask about... about your, your...your...," I was stumbling over my sentence. I don't think I can ask!

"My...?," he edged me along.

"Your... ," I took a deep breath and mumbled," I just want to know about your past...girlfriends."

Chance didn't speak for a long minute and slowly I lifted my head to see him, he didn't look mad, shocked, or sad... just blank. I was scared I had brought back some horrible memory and felt like a complete idiot!

"There isn't much to tell," he said emotionlessly," I have had a few girlfriends here and there, but nothing serious."

"Oh.. I was just curious..," I said quietly. "Will you tell me about them..?"

He sighed and it was loud and low," Uhmm... my first was an Amaura, her name was Mara. She was so bold and witty, I admired her," he chuckled softly," we dated for 6 months and then I left my hometown and traveled. She was angry about me leaving and almost battled me, but I left before anything too serious. yt second was a Growlithe actually."

"Really?," I was a little surprised. Most Pokémon had gotten used to dating outside their own since it was hard to find the opposite gender (unless you lived in a pack or had arranged mating).

"Oh yeah, she was wonderful: sweet , charming, smart and beautiful. Her name was Chaar... her only problem was she was a flirt. She cheated on me constantly but I never gave up until I walked in one them...," he stopped. His eyes were swirling with the memories he was revealing, I was happy but also jealous. Those bitches! Fuck them! They are fucking bitches for being that way! They were lucky to even get to have him!

"She was my first love..," he whispered but quickly cleared his throat and continued," then there was my last: Cat. She was a Delcatty and... and, Gosh, Violet can't we just not talk about it!," he was anxious and upset. Why?

"Please.. Please tell me."

"It's just... I don't want to upset you," he looked sad and lost. Why would I be upset! They're exes!

"Please?"

"I-I was dating Cat when I was caught. I was trying to protect her and I was captured by the Master...," he looked down.

Oh... oh. If it wasn't for the Master he would still be with Cat. My eyes watered, "I'm sorry," my voiced cracked.

"Violet... she this is why I din't want to tell you. I new you would be upset," he placed his head on top of mine and drowned me in his thick golden fur.

"Do you still love her?..." I asked into his chest.

He stopped breathing for a second," No. How can I love someone who doesn't even exist to me anymore! I love you, Violet. Only you." He cleared his throat," Hoe about you? any crazy ec boyfriends I should know about?"

I chuckled," Living on an isolated mountain doesn't give me as much time and opportunities ad you may think. I have been single all my life... until now," I smile and step away from him.

"It's a honor to be the first boyfriend of Ms. Violet," he bowed slightly.

"Shut up!," I laugh," Sooo... you gonna tell me which girlfriend you lost yourself to," I teased him.

He shook his head and laughed," If you must know, it was Chaar. We dated for over a year so yeah," he tunred to me," It's just so weird..."

"What?"

"I thought I loved those girls, that they were my soul mates...but none of them have ever made me feel the way you do. They all just seem like stupid crushes that have lead me to this moment in my life, the moment with you. They just are so...insignificant. A day with you seems like a year of memories, lie I've known you forever. It makes me question all my other choices I thought at the time were wise," he laughed.

"So does that mean we're official," I joke.

"Definitely."
