Peaceful Determination

Prologue - How We Got Here

"Look mama!" I said to my mother. I had started dancing as her and my papa looked at me. They both smiled as the family Pokemon, Riot the Riolu, started dancing with me. The both of us were laughing with one another as we moved lightly on our feet.

A couple days pass and my parents see how well we get along when they decided to surprise me. They said nothing after sitting me on my beanbag chair while giving me a pokeball. I looked at them confused until the ball opened up and out came Riot on the floor in front of me.

That brings us to my first day of dance. All the girls laughed at me since I was the only boy who wanted to do dance. All the other Pokémon with their trainers were those like Kirlia, Steenee and Eevee. Riot wasnt a usual.

"Alright kids!" The instructor said to everyone. We all gathered around and I could hear girls whispering about me and I could see Riot worrying about the other Pokémon. He climbed onto my shoulder and sat there.

As it turned out, I was best in that class. That was until a rumor got me kicked out. A rumor that I was bullying the other girls. My parents knew I wouldn't do such a thing. I was able to use a field behind my house through the woods to practice my routines. That's how I found Ralts. He joined us and I named him Acro. Not long after, he evolved into Kirlia. That same day, I got my own Eevee.

About a year later, I was given a choice between Sobble, Grookey and Scorbunny from none other than the champion himself. I couldn't really choose, so I let his brother, Hop, select first. He went with Scorbunny. Now I was left with Sobble and Grookey. I still couldn't choose so I left that day without one.

I left the Eevee for a family Pokémon, as I caught both a Plusle and Minun. They helped cheer me on with their colorful sparks, which made for a great fill for scenery when dancing. I ended up finding a Grookey myself, as well as a Drizzile traveling together. They joined me and it gave me a well fit team. My parents were impressed by my growing talent and team.

Bringing us to a few months later, me, Riot, Acro, Proton the Plusle, Electron the Minun, Sneak the Drizzile and Booms the Grookey were all training together for dance. Acro and Riot were dancing together in a kind of formal way as Proton and Electron cheered to Booms's beat as me and Sneak danced.

When we finished, Sneak was shrouded in a bright blue light as it grew taller and changed its look. "Intel," he said as our eyes lit up. I supposed that sparked a lot of determination into Acro and Riot as they were shrouded in their light at the end of the dance when Riot dipped Acro.

Acro became a Gallade and Riot became a Lucario. I was really shocked. Three evolutions in one day. My other Pokémon couldn't evolve. Proton and Electron don't have evolutions and Booms ate an Everstone before I caught him, so he couldn't evolve. Now with fully evolved Pokémon, I could finally move on with the full routine.

I taught them the steps and movements as we practiced. I was eventually called in for lunch as my parents were surprised at Riot, Acro and Sneak.

That very night, I was laying with Riot in the window bed I had made and used instead of my actual bed. "You seem tense," I said. I was laying on his chest since we couldn't sleep together like we used to. He just continued looking at the night sky. "I can't tell why you're so tense, but realize that you and Acro have each other so remember that. Hopefully you do feel better Riot." I put my hand on the heart on his chest, colored blue. That's how I can find him in a group. I could feel him hug me until I fell asleep, calmly drifting away.

Riot looked at Acro who was walking over to him.  "Lade," he said, placing his hand on my back. Riot just looked at him with a thought in his eyes. With all the space there was, Acro laid with us and fell asleep. Not too long after, Riot was asleep with us.
