The Crimson Queen | Leon x OC

CHAPTER 8 - Echoes Of Galar: Bonds And Battles

ECHOES OF GALAR: BONDS AND BATTLES

It has been a crazy and fun week for the quadruplets. Not only did they meet Professor Magnolia but also the reigning champion, Leon back in Wyndon. If it can't get any crazier, the quadruplets are now back at Wedgehurst, this time, they were here for Sonia, Charles' girlfriend.

Throughout the whole walk to Wedgehurst, Charles kept bragging about his girlfriend to his friends. Which annoyed Azalea a little bit. And now, the quadruplets are in front of the laboratory.

"Are you sure it'll be a great idea to come back here again?" Eclipse asked, unsure if they should do this. As everyone was all in front of Professor Magnolia's laboratory.

"Did you even tell her that we'll be visiting here?" Azalea raised an eyebrow, staring at Charles.

"Hahaha, nope!" Charles laughed, his hands on his hips.

"Aww man. I didn't like it the way she was looking at us the last time we went here." Azalea sighed, scratching the back of her head.

"Come on, it'll be just fine." Charles reassured them, taking a closer step to the front door.

Before Charles could even knock on the door. It was like Professor Magnolia had foretold that they'll be coming, as she was the one who opened the door instead. For some odd reason, Azalea could feel Magnolia tensed up when they made eye contact.

What the heck did I do?

"Sonia told me you'll be coming. Come on in." The professor took a few steps back so that the quadruplets could enter.

"Thank you, professor." Eclipse thanked her, entering the laboratory.

When they all took a step inside the lab, Charles was immediately tackled on the ground by a pokémon.

"Hahaha, it's good to see you too Yamper!" Charles laughed, enjoying the affection he was receiving from it.

"Wow, a pokémon I've never seen before." Solar's eyes widened, staring at the small pokémon.

"It's a Yamper, my pokémon." A voice was heard from above, everyone looked up and saw a woman coming down the stairs.

"Hey there, babe, how was your trip?" Charles got up from the floor and hugged Sonia.

"It was fun but really exhausting." Sonia sighed, hugging him back. She then gazed over at Azalea and the others, she let go of him and walked towards them. "Hi there, I've heard alot about you three from Charles!" Sonia waved her hand to them.

"You two are Eclipse and Solar from the Hoenn region, correct?" She looked at them, surprising the two siblings a bit.

Eclipse smiled and Solar nodded. "Yup, that's right."

Sonia then looked over at Azalea. She let out her hand, Azalea was hesitant at first but Azalea gladly took it and offered her a smile. "I am Azalea."

"It's nice to meet you, Azalea. Leon also told me about you." Sonia smiled back while shaking her hand, the last part about Leon shook Azalea just a bit.

"I heard you are from the Arata region, correct?" Sonia let go of Azalea's hand and placed her hand onto Azalea's shoulder. With just a nod, Sonia grabbed Azalea's arm and dragged her away from the others.

She looked back at the confused Azalea and let out a small chuckle. "Come on, I want to show you something cool!"

Azalea followed Sonia into an area full of books. There were sections that said science-fiction, romance, adventure and the other genres of books people could think of. But the thing that intrigued her the most was the book Sonia showed in front of her face.
