Aria's Pov: after Courtney had recovered from her transformation, she hasn't talked ever since, we started making our way to rote 5 and on the way we once again saw the two team flare grunt but this time they were getting chased by a horde of Flechlings, that alway made us laugh but Courtney didn't laugh instead she kept walking, with Link on her head then I ran to keep up with her,
"Courtney are you doing okay? You seem a little shaken up from the other day" I asked as she just nodded in response, then as we walked through route 5, I noticed a the grass wasn't rustling at all it was silent just like the time Courtney's Father snuck out to the kitchen at midnight just to eat pancakes, then I could hear a man's voice, then we found a flute of some sort with a Pokeball on it, as we got closer to Camphrier Town, we saw two teenage boys looking in the grass for something,
"if we don't wake up that Snorlax, then how will anyone get to Cyllade City" said he first boy, he had blonde hair, blue eyes, he wore a white shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers, the second boy had black hair, hazel eyes, he wore a blue shirt, gray jeans and white sneakers,
"excuse me but are you looking for this" I asked as I hold the flute out to them,
"yes, thank you for finding it" said the black haired boy "I'm Len and this is my bother Rick, thanks again for finding the pokeflute for us",
"your welcome, I'm Aria this is my trainer Courtney, Link, Knights, Epona and Diane" I said as everyone else introduced themselves, then we made our way to Camphrier Town, Courtney took us to the Pokemon Center and everyone got healed up, as we went to go to Cyllade City, Len and Rick accompanied us to a bridge were a sleeping Snorlax was, they played the pokeflute and the Snorlax woke up and walked away,
"now you can make it to Cyllade City, just keep heading straight and you should see a cave, head through it and you should find yourself at Cyllade City" Rick said as we waved goodbye and made our way to the cave. We battled a few trainers and Courtney only talked when we're battling, so when we stopped for a rest on route 7, I decided to talk to Courtney,
"Courtney can I talk to you?" I asked as Courtney once again nodded her head "Courtney why aren't you talking to anyone except for during battles?",
"I don't wish to talk at the moment Aria, I'm still shocked at what happened yesterday" Courtney said then Psy came over to us,
"hey Courtney, there's a wild Espurr out here that's injured and needs help" Psy said as Courtney got up and walked over to where Psy said he found the Espurr,
"hey there I'm not going to hurt you, here eat this and you'll be fine" Courtney said as the Espurr ate an Oran berry,
Psy's Pov: I was watching as the wild Espurr ate the berries and then thanked Courtney as it went back to where it came from, then out of nowhere a wild Honedge appeared and started to attack us but this Honedge was different colours so I believed it was a shiny, something was wrong with her, her eye was red and she was aiming at Natalia,
"what in the name of Mew" Natalia said as she dodged her attacks all except for one, she was hit with Sacred Sword on her left arm and then Courtney started to sing, the wild Honedge calmed down and she started apologised to Natalia,
"she'll be fine Honedge, don't worry" Courtney said as she bandage the wound on Natalia's left shoulder,
"Honedge-Edge!" said the wild Honedge as she went to Natalia's bag and pulled out a Pokeball that had nothing in it and then Honedge gave the Pokeball to Natalia,
"she said she wants to go with you as a way to say sorry for hurting you" Courtney said as the Honedge nodded,
"alright then...GO POKEBALL!" Natalia said as Honedge went into the Pokeball...1…2…3 and click "I'm going to name you Hope, welcome to the team Hope, COME ON OUT!",
"you decided to nickname one" Courtney said as Link climbed on her head once again.
"Yep and I decided to nickname everyone else too, Meloetta nickname is going to be Sonata, Pikachu you shall be Storm, Riolu can be Light, Blaze will be Torchic's and then we have Hope the Honedge" Natalia said as all her Pokemon agreed on their nicknames, especially Torchic, she ran around Natalia in circles as her way of agreement,
"come on we should get moving to Cyllade City before nightfall" Knights said as he started to walk off toward a cave, as we all got through the cave after about a hundred Zubats trying to battle us we made our way to the Pokemon Center and stayed the night, in the morning Courtney and Natalia will be challenging the gym,
{The Next Day}
Knights Pov: we were walking towards the gym and as we entered we saw a boy with black hair with some parts colour and he had climbing gear on,
"hello there are you here for a gym battle?" he asked "I'm Grant the rock gym leader, who will I be battling?",
"you will be battling us two Grant" Courtney replied and like before they had a double battle but this time Courtney used Diane while Natalia used Hope, Grant sent out an Amaura and a Tyrunt and the battle begun, Diane had used Dizzy Punch on Tyrunt and he became confused while Hope used Sacred Sword and was super effective on Amaura then Amaura used Ice Shard on Diane as Tyrunt snapped out of confusion and used Bite on Hope, Diane used High-Jump Kick on Tyrunt as Hope used Sword Dance, it was a close battle then Diane used Drain Punch to finish off Amaura and Hope used Iron Head to defeat the remaining Tyrunt,
"congratulations you earned yourselves the Cliff Badge, the next gym is in Shalour City and good luck you two" Grant said as we left and went to the Pokemon Center to heal Hope and Diane, after that we started making our way towards Shalour City and the good news was Courtney was talking a lot more then earlier but I couldn't help but think we were being followed.
