Twins of Unova

*Chapter 43: Champion🎶

I was unable to take a plane ride from Skyla, so I resulted in finding my way out of Twist mountain on my own and having to battle a few trainers wanting to mess with me.

"I'm so tired... Why are people messing with me so much?" I leaned on my knees, trying to catch my breath "At least I'm out that place..." I sat on the wall of the cave outside and dug out the leftovers I had from when Skyla and I went out to eat together. She offered to pay for my meal, even if I said she didn't have to. She wanted to find every excuse to apologize for not being able to give me a ride and forgetting me. She was over-exaggerating, but I thanked her anyway and gave her my goodbye before I left for my journey.

I had a fun time just being with Skyla. She told me her Pokémon got a new set of babies and she wasn't going to make the same mistake she did last time. I supported her in every way and later ended up listening to something I never thought I'd hear from anyone.

"That dark shadow in your eyes are gone" she said, playing with her food "I seen it when I first laid eyes on you. I'm really good with faces... and I'm really good at seeing people from the way their eyes are, but you were very different. Your eyes had a hint of death in them, yet they were full of life. It was strange... and I feel ashamed for not remembering you, but I swear that will never happen again!" She took my hands "Accept this meal I'm paying for and keep that badge! It'll make me happy that you'll accept!" I chuckled at how she behaved and told her it felt like a proposal. She let go and smiled at her plate.

"You saved my life just once... but that was enough. If there's any other day when you need a ride on my plane, let me know... Just not today" I took her up on that offer and enjoyed the food I ate while smelling the ocean breeze from afar, where I arrived to Undella Town.

"I should get a hotel to sleep in..." I sighed and looked up at the moon above me "But I shouldn't be spending too much money... I guess I'll just sleep outside tonight" I finished my food and slowly walked the beach to find a good spot and sleep under the stars. I hummed a song to myself while enjoying the night sky, feeling serenity around me.

"It felt like I was here with everyone a few days ago..." I sighed "But it's really been a whole year" someone was running at my direction, though they were looking straight and not at me. I moved to the side to let them through and for a split second, I saw Hugh running pass me. I stopped walking to look at him still running.

"Was that Hugh?" I sighed "Well, at least he didn't see my face. He's the last person I would want to remember me" I looked towards the bay where I went into the ruins to find that crown I never did anything with.

I took it out and observed how old it was "I probably should had done something with this..." I put it on my head and started dancing a little to feel like a princess "but it feels nice... Rosa should always be the princess, but it's not so bad to pretend" I closed my eyes to enjoy my time kicking the sand and feeling the cool breeze blowing through my hair.

"I can't sleep tonight..." I sang to the moon "Wide awake and so confused. Everything's in line, but I am bruised. I need a voice to echo... I need a light to take me home. I kinda need a hero..." I held my heart "I've never seen the forest for the trees... I could really use your melody. I'm a little blind... I think it's time... for you to find me" I smiled at the moon for giving me another chance. At that moment of singing to the moon, I felt eyes watching me. I looked around confused and felt scared, knowing I can't defend myself anymore.

"Who's there..?" I looked around in the darkness to see where the eyes were coming from, but I ended up jumping when a familiar voice shouted out of nowhere.
