AN: Okay so this is just a bit of a pilot for another story I've been thinking about since I started playing XD Gale of Darkness again. Whether or not I continue this story will probably be determined by how much, if any, feed back I get. This pairing which I honestly don't know the ship name for, came as a quick thought into my head completely unexpected. I was just playing XD when I battled Lovrina for the first time and I was like, "Hey they sound like a cute couple." without further ado, here Is the first chapter(maybe) of the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon

He didn't know which part of her was the most distracting when he first met her. Was it her hair, nearly as long as her body, dyed a bright shade of pink. Was it her slender body, with just barely detectable curves? Was it her eyes? They were a shade of pink quite similar to her hair. He couldn't help but wonder whether or not she also wore pink contact lenses. Or perhaps it was he general demeanor, confident in a sassy kind of way.

She rested her chin on her thumb and index finger. "Oh Naps was being naughty again? I'll so have to punish him for that, a whole bunch!" Was it her voice? Honestly Michael couldn't tell. He couldn't tell what about Lovrina made her so much different than any other girl he had met.

Maybe it was all of those things at once that made her such a distracting character during battle. While fighting her he had taken multiple hits to his Pokemon that could have been avoidable. His own thoughts and feelings had allowed for the pink haired woman to make both his espeon, and Teddiursa faint. He had finished the battle by the skin of his teeth. His final Pokemon was a Spinarak just saved from another member of Cipher, not one hour before.

Michael was once again distracted by the woman when she waltzed out of the Cipher research facility. He shook himself in order to get rid of his thoughts. He still had to worry about getting professor Krane back to head quarters.

"Lets go Professor." Michael said. As soon as he said that though, the professor interrupted him to pick some object up of from the ground.

"This looks important, I think we should take it back to HQ with us to be examined." Professor Krane said, holding the object, it looked like some kind of chip, up to the light.

"Yeah" Michael said distractedly. "Lets go," he repeated himself now.

After they rode the elevator up to the top of the facility, they headed outside, and into the desert air. At this point it was becoming quite dark outside. With the dark in the desert came the cold, and Michael shivered.

He hopped onto his parked motorbike and waited for the professor to get on behind him. When he finally did, Michael started the engine to the small vehicle he could call his own. Instantly they where off and out into the darkening landscape. The terrain around the Cipher lab was barren but not desert like most people think of it. The Orre region didn't start to get truly sandy for a long distance north.

The entire trip back to the lab, a few hours of motoring, Michael was distracted by his thoughts. Like most adolescent men, most of his thoughts where on girls. Specifically, one girl, a girl named Lovrina.

If professor Krane noticed his unbalanced disposition, he didn't mention. Their luck was that there was no traffic to avoid on the way back to the Pokemon lab. If there had been, Michael very well could have crashed.

All through the next day, with talk and demonstrations of the purification machine, to everyone around him, Michael didn't seem himself. Even his own mother was unable to decipher her son's thoughts. There was only one person there who got even close to knowing what was happening on in his mind, and that was because of her immature personality.

Michael himself did not know what to think of his own thoughts. Much of the time he was not thinking about Lovrina, but forcing himself to not think about her. In all of his adolescent thoughts, he kept telling himself that even if he pursued her, it wouldn't work out, at least not for him.

Lovrina would probably just manipulate him into some situation to benefit Cipher. That was the kind of thing he thought she would do, based upon what little he knew about the girl. Also he was completely terrified of whatever punishment Naps had to go through for his failures. Once again he believed based on what he thought of her personality that it would be something truly horrifying.

It was lunch time at the HQ and Michael was in the lunch room watching ONBS on the television. As he munched on a sandwich his younger sister approached. The blue haired girl's name was Jovi.

"Hello brother. Good noon." Jovi said.

Michael just grunted though the breed and meat of his sandwich. The news right now was talking about Pokeballs returning to sale in the Orre region. The little bits of technology were not often used, considering that much of the Orre region lacked wild Pokemon. The vast majority of Pokemon being trained in Orre where invasive species.

"Jovi said h-e-l-l-o. How are you?" Everybody in the lab hated the fact that Jovi had picked the habit of speaking about herself in third person. No one knew where the habit came from, but it thoroughly creeped every single person that met her out.

Michael swallowed the rest of the food in his mouth. "I'm doing fine. I'm a little bit tired though, considering I had a twenty hour day of Pokemon battles, and excitement."

Jovi narrowed her eyes. "hmm... What happened at the Cipher lab, you've been acting more than a little bit odd. Jovi thinks that you met somebody down there that made you unnerved. Or was the word distracted...?" she trailed off.

Michael waved his arms in the air attempting to wave her off, "y-you've got the wrong idea. Nothing happened other than a few battles." He sweat dropped. How did my little naïve sister notice, while everyone else didn't bat an eye?

"Jovi doesn't think so, big brother."

"Hey I'm telling you I'm fine." Michael said, getting more than a little frustrated. He continued to watch the news and began ignoring his sister.

"Yes well, big brother. Jovi thinks that something isn't necessarily wrong. Maybe it was what Jovi said, that big brother met someone. Maybe a girl." she didn't even give Michael time to react, because she skipped off.

yeah i'm definitely not thinking about Lovrina right now, with her long hair and sassy eyes. Wait, dammit

AN: I must admit that Jovi was pretty entertaining to write dialogue for.
