Y/N POV:
Bea got me good there. It's like she can read my mind.
Bea: "So, how are you feeling?"
Y/N: "Well...a part of me is really excited and all...but another part of me is clinging on that memory from the past...I'm afraid like everything is going to repeat itself again..."
Bea: "Oh Y/N..." She says, getting closer to me.
She puts a reassuring hand on my shoulder, before continuing.
Bea: "I know how hard it is to let go of a big fail...it destroys you on the inside and even when you try and fight it alone, it just keeps destroying you more and more...and I almost got myself killed because of that..."
I stare at her, surprised by what I just heard.
Bea: "Last year, in the League Finals, I lost against Leon. And that loss gave me a hard time...I always trained my entire life to be the best and losing like that destroyed a good part of my fighting spirit. I tried to brush it off, but wherever I went to, it followed me. Eventually I went training one day, but I was so focused on trying my hardest that got myself and my Pokemon stuck on a cave without any way out; the entrance of the cave was blocked, and I forgot my cellphone on the Corviknight Taxi. I could have died in there. But then my partners made me wake up...so I took a deep breath and returned with a new way of thinking. That way I could leave the cave."
I look at her, completely taken aback by her story.
Y/N: "Bea...that was probably pretty scary, wasn't it?" I say, taking her hand that was in my shoulder and putting it into mine.
Bea: "Yeah...it was, but this is about you. I know it's hard, but you need to overcome it, I believe in you." She says, putting her other hand on top of mine.
I smile at her in response.
Y/N: "Thank you, Bea."
She smiles back in response.
Y/N: "To thank you properly, I think I'll buy you a sweet at the Battle Café, how does that sound?" I say, jokingly.
She giggles in response. Nothing to showy, but a genuine giggle. It made my heart melt on the inside.
Raihan POV:
After running through the corridors, I hear a female giggle coming from somewhere the corridors.
I follow the sound and stumble upon an interesting scene.
Bea, the karate prodigy and Gym Leader from Stow-On-Side; and Y/N, the Ice-Type Rookie form Motostoke; holding hands!
I quickly take out my phone and take a picture of it. They didn't seem to notice me; probably too concentrated on each other.
I look at the picture I took.
Raihan: "Everyone is going to FREAK OUT when they see this!"
I take a deep breath before snapping them both out of trance.
Y/N POV:
I am currently looking at Bea's gorgeous eyes when a voice snaps me out of trance.
Raihan: "Hey! I finally found you both!"
We both look up and see Raihan.
Raihan: "C'mon you two! The ceremony is about to start!"
Y/N: "O-oh, o-okay, w-we'll be t-there." I reply being a stuttering mess.
Bea: "Y-yeah, j-just give us a second!"
Raihan: "Ooh, I see what's going on!" He replies, smirking.
Y/N: "W-what's that supposed to mean?!"
Raihan: "I mean...I would give you two Lovebirds some privacy, but everyone's waiting."
Y/N: "WHAT?!" I reply, my cheeks extremely turning red.
Bea: "Y-yeah! W-what was that about?" She replies.
Raihan: "My, you two should see your faces! You two are redder than Centiskorches!" He replies, laughing.
Bea: "L-look here! If you say anything that happened here to anyone, you're dead! Understood?" He says, getting up to him, her cheeks redder than Cherubies.
Raihan: "Ok! Ok! *sigh* just come on! The rest's waiting for you."
I take a deep breath to calm down, before replying.
Y/N: "R-right, we'll be there."
Raihan: "Ok."
Then, he leaves, leaving me and Bea in an awkward silence.
Y/N: "So...yeah..."
Bea takes a deep breath, calming down.
Bea: "Let's go. Let's make history out there, right?"
I smile at her.
Y/N: "Yes." I reply, while nodding.
We both make our way to the court's entrance.
