Piers and Seikatsu spent a couple of months together: they had started officially a relationship after that night of roses and flights of any kind. Both good and bad traits from each other popped out, coming to appreciate some sides and trying to communicate what wasn't right: Piers was five years older and different relationships that ended badly, but he was aware why and knew what to do. Seikatsu had had one, but she had thought about it a lot and for a long time for what she had been through, so she was more avaliable to compromise and talking. Between them communication didn't lack, as both incentivized it. Moreover, Piers managed to find a rehearsal studio at Mauville City and he went there with Hydreigon, and thanks to those visits to Mauvile City, Piers started to get known, especially when he opposed to Team Aqua and Magma when they crossed his path. Plus, he had been recognised as people had seen him often with Seikatsu, who was already more or less a public personality, but no one associated him as Seikatsu's boyfriend, so Piers was able to be known exactly like he wanted: a Singer and a Trainer. No one called him Gym Leader and everybody saw him as a singer, musician and Trainer and this made him happy and proud of himself, because finally he got ridden off that mark.

Seikatsu instead, was always reserved into the sky or in those mysterious islands reachable just with Latios or Latias, where she messed up with the tries for Cool Contest. Meanwhile she worked hard with Honchkrow and Blaziken, Lisia sponsored herself and kept underrating Seikatsu in particularly, but she did it in a very deceitful way and no one could read between the lines in her cute, shine and extroverted behaviour, meanwhie Piers saw her often in the city and he got on his nerves, as he gave a meaning to words and he understood the real intentions and means of what Lisia said, getting disgusted by people's reaction. He acted indifferent as a choice: unlesse no one would had talked to him directly or had involved him, he wouldn't had put himself in a situation. He observed on the screen just for few minutes an interview of Lisia on a big external screen, then he went away grumbling, but bad luck wanted that he would had cross Lisia as he turned the corner:"Oh hi! You must be Pie, right?" Piers got irritated: that was the nickname that Seikatsu used, and it wasn't for everybody:"I'm Piers, yeah. Watcha want?" Lisia got the irritation, so she kept calling him by the nickname:"Come on Pie, don't so cranky! Maybe it's for this that Seika's so attracted by you! By the way, she hasn't even presented for any interview! You should tell her to come." Piers thought about Seikatsu, always coming back home covered of soot in her face, due to MegaBlaziken's flames, with messy hair and without make-up, wearing old and worn-out clothes for training, tired and with dark cycles that scare him, so that image spoke for itself: Seikatsu would had never wanted to be seen in that way by him, ashaming a lot to be seen in such state, although she got cleaned everytime, so he couldn't imagine how much she would had felt ashamed to be seen in such way in front of cameras:"Unlike ya, Seika's wrokin' hard, instead of makin' acid and corrosive jokes dressed as sugary scenes. Then, it's her business if she doesn't wanna show up, isn't it? I'm not her manager, if she wanna be seen she'll do it, if she doesn't want to, she doesn't. Interview won't influence her talent. So, bye-bye." Piers gave her his back and lightened a cigarette, going ahead with his path, but Lisia took that reply as a personal attack and she was ready to not let him getting away with it, but she was interrupted by fans who wanted to speak with her. Piers thanked the annyoing fans and giggled.

Piers didn't say a word about it to Seikatsu, because he saw her as destroyed as her Pokémon:"Seika, the contest's gonna be in five days. If you three keep goin' ahead like this, you'll go tired. I've never seen someone takin' so many showers, then it's so warm! We're in summer, you'd take some rest." Piers said, taking a face flannel to pour away the soot from her face, meanwhile Zoroark and Banette were on the couch with Morgrem, waving a fan to make some air, and Banette said:"You've got bags under your eyes that are so big that I could take them and go buying groceries. He's got a point, rest!" Zoroark nodded:"Yeah, also the two chickens must be tired. I'm not saying to throw Blaze into the water to refresh, otherwise he drowns, but those poor big cocks need a vacancy." Morgrem nodded, without really knowing for what he was agreeing with. Seikatsu let Piers cleaning her face and gave up for resting:"Fine, I'll rest. My Pokémon need and deserve it." Piers smiled:"Also 'cause you're spendin' a fortune with these face flannels." Seikatsu chuckled, then he walked her to the bathroom and carried her in bridal-style: Piers made lot of efforts to lift her up, but he didn't last too much and that demoralized him. In the end, he managed to carry her to the bathroom and helped her to get clean: they didn't have any secret or shame anymore, so no one got traumatized. He helped her with hair and kept her company.
