1: Bonds of Amour
The Kalos Region, also known as The Region of Love. One day, Ash was finishing his adventure through Unova, and the next, he finds himself moving to Kalos with his old friend Gary.
There, Ash finds himself reuniting with old frien...
Itwastoolate.I had been blind, just like Y said, after all -- too blind to see that Ash actually did care about me the same way I did for him. Now, I had ruined things between us, and I don't think I was ever going to get my chance to tell him how I felt. And then there was also the whole taboo situation with Calem... The whole thing made my head hurt.
I was sat on my back porch, just a couple of feet behind where I had stood talking to Y the other day. Going over his conversation, it made me think about just how much I had screwed things up. Now, I was going to make things worse with Calem too, because apparently I wasn't suppose to love him.
There was a shadow behind the tree in front of me -- the one Y had sat on -- and I quickly stood up in fear. I tried to concentrate on what it was, until I made out the shape of staffs and sighed with relief.
"You scared me" I said, and on cue, the old bells began to ring -- if my mom decided to come out, I would have a lot of explaining to do
"I can tell that things didn't go the way you planned" Y said, stepping out of the darkness and into the light casted by the lamp next to me
I ignored him and muttered, "You really need to get rid of those bells"
"If only it were that simple" Y lowered down both his hood and bandanna. It was like a brick hit me when I saw his face, because just like when I had found out who X was, the first thought that came to mind was: but it's impossible. "I'm a little bit flattered you put so much trust into me without knowing who I was, so telling you would make no difference"

"B-But how?" somehow, words came out of my mouth. "It just doesn't add up"
"Because I crafted it that way" Jason said. "In order to escape the bells, I used an ancient magic spell that split me into two different entities. This me -- the one you're talking to -- carries the type-master title, and constantly travels to run from the bells. The me that you know is the me trying to live out a normal life"
"Escape... the bells?"
"Remember how I told you about the type-masters sealing away Abbadon? Well, the last thing that Abbadon did was curse me of all people" Jason explained. "As long as I live, I'll be haunted by the bells. If I stay in one place for too long, they'll devour me"
"I-I guess that does explain a lot" I sat back down. "So what about your Pokemon?"
"The Pokeballs in my staffs are my original Pokemon, and occasionally I will meet up with my other half and swap out which staffs I hold" Jason answered. "As I am, X is too powerful for me to handle him, so I have limited time until I need to remerge. But enough about me; I came here to talk to you"
