Pokémon: Pink Paradise

Chapter 10: Gladion•

"It's a shame to see you leave already" Hau said to Xavier and Yvonne as they were getting ready to sail back home "its only been a few days and I feel like we've been friends forever!" Yvonne giggled

"Same here. It's so beautiful in this region and what better way to spend it is with some friends! Thanks for seeing us off"

"Make sure you say hello to everyone for me" Selena said

"Of course!" Xavier smiled "but there's just no way I'm going to leave without a battle" he smirked "let's do this like old times" she crossed her arms amused

"Didn't you learned your lesson before?"

"I'm not the same as I use to be" she nodded

"I believe you. You were a real wimp when I first met you in that forest. Crying against a tree while your friends were looking for you" he blushed. Xavier was so distant even towards his friends, all because of the paparazzi traumatizing him as a child after he won the battle tournament in Kalos

"You don't have to remind me of that! Now that I'm champion, I have trainers trying to mess with me, but it wasn't as bad as paparazzi following you trying to take your picture" Lillie shivered

"How scary..." Xavier nodded

"You know you're still wanted by Team Flare?" Yvonne winked. Selena sweat dropped and held her key stone

"You're saying you didn't take care of those fashion disasters? Telling me I had poor fashion sense" she muttered. The two laughed

"No! We're just kidding. We already took care of them loong ago" Yvonne waved her hand

"Just liked I promise" Xavier said, showing Selena his serious expression "I promised that I'd defeat them... they kept messing with you because they thought you stole their Keystone but I knew you were innocent from looking into your eyes. You were considered dangerous from The Wanted posters... but your eyes were kind. I wished you'd stay longer in Kalos, I took care of them as fast as I could, waiting for you to come back" Selena frowned

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to break that promise. I had a lot going for me" she looked down "especially now... I didn't say anything earlier but I lost my friends. And I'm trying to find Ninetales..."

"Selena..." Yvonne came over for a hug "I'm so sorry..."

"It happened a long time ago, don't worry about it" she took a deep breath "I'll go and visit, one of these days. Right now, I have to be here and learn more about the Lele species"

"Of course" Xavier nodded "and I'm sorry for what happened to Ninetales. I hope you find her soon! It was the most incredible Pokémon I've ever seen! Taking that it is the only one of its species to mega evolve!" Selena smiled, feeling proud that she had such a special Ninetales. She had to find her... her first friend and first experience of happiness. When meeting her after she hatched from a egg, That's when she thought that's where she got the gift of bonding

"Thanks" she send out Mawile "but enough about that. Let's battle!" Mawile cheered with its megastone on top of its head around the top of its extra jaw behind it. Xavier smirked and send out his charizard "wow! You got a charizard?"

"You better believe it!" He touched his keystone on his mega ring. Selena nodded and touched her own on her necklace "I'm pumped!"

"Mega evolve!" They yelled at the same time. The battle was long and a intense one. A few citizens came to watch the show. Selena came out victorious and held her hip in confidence. Xavier nodding, accepting his defeat. Hau and Lillie cheered
