Twins of Unova

*Chapter 48: Punk 🎶

I hugged the cute pink Pokémon I ended up picking and couldn't take my arms away from it! It's so cute! "This is so cool! A Dragonair!" I laughed.

"You two are a perfect match" Alder laughed "It was a Dratini last year when I could had offered it to you, but you got yourself a Dragonair"

"But dragon types are hard to train! Why would you offer me a dragon type? Not that I mind it, but you're really going to give me a powerful Pokémon like this?" I asked.

"The one thing between Pokémon and people is that they chose each other. A bond can't be forced, but Dragonair likes you, so there's no objections" Benga said "If one of these Pokémon didn't want to choose you, we wouldn't be giving it away to someone it doesn't want to be with" I looked at Dragonair smiling at me.

"I'm honored... You're so beautiful" it smiled and squeezed my body while wrapped around me "Oof! Too tight" everyone in the building ended up laughing, including Alders students who were in the dojo.

"Why don't we have a battle?" Benga asked "Like last year in Black City?"

"Sure!" I turned to Nate staring at Benga "Nate-kun! Can I battle?" He looked at me confused as I was playing with the fact that he doesn't remember, yet had it printed on his head.

"Uh..." he didn't know how to respond "I guess..?" I giggled and faced Benga.

"Let's do this!" He nodded and walked beside me.

"Great! I know I'll win this time" he suddenly slapped my butt. I froze "Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you got a new-" due to the trigger, my arm ended up flying right into his face and knock him on the ground, making Alder laugh so hard that he fell on the ground with him. I cupped my mouth in shock and looked at my hands. What was that..? I'm so strong...

"Ow! What was that-?!" Nate ended up pressing his foot on Benga's chest.

"That's sexual assault, buddy" I felt the anger escaping his body "You know I'm a cop, right? I don't really care if you could do something like that in Black city, but you don't touch girls like that" Benga freaked out and apologized over and over. Alder came up to me and patted my shoulder, still choking in laughter.

"Forgive my grandson. He's a handful. I'll straighten him out, but I think Nate will beat me to it" I frowned at Nate pulling Benga's shirt to talk close to Benga's worried face "That was an impressive punch. I didn't think a small girl like you can throw a punch like that" I blushed and looked at my hands.

"Well I... I took martial arts when I was little" this still doesn't explain why I was able to throw the punch so hard.

"Your strength and Darkrai's strength were similar, but they were not the same" Cresselia said "You built your own strength" I nodded. That makes sense... I just didn't think I'd still have any strength since Cresselia was helping me stand on my feet.

"I'm sorry! Don't arrest me!" Benga begged. Nate was still defending me without realizing that his anger was coming from the emotions he felt from the stories I've told him. I went to tap his shoulder and moved away when he looked at me.

"Thank you, Nate" I smiled "You can calm down now" Nate dropped Benga like it was nothing and faced me.

"Are you okay?" I nodded "That's good" he reached to pet my head with the scarf on. I stared at how calm his smile was "Glad you're safe" he blinked confused at what he was doing and backed away, staring at his hand. I smiled and faced Benga.

"Let's battle now!" Dragonair cheered with me. Oricorio flapped her wings "Two on two battle!" Benga smirked.

"Why... don't mind if I do!" Our battle ended up taking over an hour to complete. By the end of it, I was so tired and so were my Pokémon. I collapsed to the floor and held myself up with my hands.
