The Grace Of Amour In Galar (slow editing)

Chapter 28 The Shadow

Gary's POV

**********

We just landed in Galar, and the first class experience on a jet was not as fun as I thought it would be... Ash and Serena made out like, almost the whole time, whilst Goh and Chloe were being nerds, and Pikachu and Sylveon were... occupying the bathroom the whole time. Luckily I did hit it off well Lillie. Oh, did I forget to mention Lillie came along too? Yeah, I am pretty sure Lillie finds me rather attractive. But I cant blame her, I mean, I am me! Anyways, back to a more important topic, Ash and Serena. They are confusing us more than Grandpa's poems confuse me! According to them, they have not started dating again! However if you saw how many times they kissed and begged for privacy on that plane, you would think otherwise! So for right now, we have all tried to come to an agreement that they are just friends with benefits. Lots, and LOTS, of benefits! Oh, Lillie is coming this way!

3rd Person POV

Lillie nervously approached Gary with a faint blush plastered on her face.

"What's up, Lillie?" Gary asked, tilting his head slightly.

"I-i recently bought some tickets to a fossil dig, a-and I was wondering if y-you would like to come with me?" Lillie asked nervously.

Gary looked at her with a small smirk.

"Sounds like fun." Gary smiled. "Ya know, last time I went to a big fossil dig, Ash almost died."

Lillie giggled and smiled softly at Gary.

"It does seem like a thing that would happen to Ash." Lillie sighed. "Anyways, the fossil dig is at around two tomorrow afternoon."

"Sounds good!" Gary exclaimed.

"Then its a date!" Lillie smiled. "W-wait! Not like that! I meant like-"

Gary put a finger on her lips and shushed her softly, causing Lillie's face to burn up.

"I know what you meant." Gary smirked. "See you later, Lillie."

Gary walked off casually, but in his mind he was freaking out, whilst Lillie was freaking inside and out!

With Ash and Serena, they were walking down the streets of Motostoke, hand in hand.

"What is our relationship status?" Serena asked innocently.

"I wish I knew..." Ash sighed. "I made things so much more complicated!"

Serena squeezed Ash's hand lightly and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I would love to be known as Serena Ketchum, one day..." She said, closing her eyes and picturing the future.

"Id love that too..." Ash breathed out with a smile.

"Can I call you my boyfriend again?" Serena asked.

"Only if I can call you my girlfriend again." Ash smiled softly.

"Deal." Serena smiled back.

"Do I still hold title of Alola Champion?" Ash asked.

"Not a chance." Serena responded quickly.

Aurora's POV

So here I am, watching tv in my room at the Pokemon Centre, when Lillie comes bursting in.

"How'd it go?" I ask.

"Pretty well!" I hear Lillie say.

I feel a grin grow across my face.
