Secrets Without Shame (A Pokémon Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Abel landed in the familiar town of Nuvema Town at dawn. White picked Fiona up and jumped off the old Charizard's back. Draco the Dragonite landed next to Abel, and Leia and Mira climbed off him.

"It hasn't changed much since I've been here last." whispered White, walking near one of the houses and then asking, "So where are we meeting Amos?"

"We meet in front of Professor Juniper's lab." Leia answered, gesturing toward the direction of Unova's Route 1 and the Unova Lab. "Hugh was going to meet us there to, but he won't come with us to Kalos. He's 'too busy'."

White looked over at Mira when Leia said this. She saw her friend's look of disappointment on her face as she returned Draco to his pokeball. She knew full well that Mira had a crush on Hugh. White was confident that Leia would think it was romantic that her best friend fell in love with her older brother, so she was not a problem. The main problem at the moment was that Hugh had no idea about Mira's crush, and none of them knew whether he liked her or not.

"You guys go on ahead," White told her two friends as she gave Fiona to Mira. "I want to look around for a bit."

"Well there's no hurry, Amos was like halfway across the region when we called him, so it might be awhile." Mira replied, adjusting Fiona in her arms. "Leia, Fiona, and I can go look around too if you want."

"It doesn't matter, you can go do whatever, just please take care of Fiona."

"We won't let her out of our sight!" Leia assured White cheerfully.

But White watched the three girls nervously as Mira, Leia, and Fiona went down a row of houses. Fiona had grown to trust Leia and Mira, so White wasn't worried about the little girl giving the two trainers trouble. She was more worried about someone seeing Fiona and noticing that she was actually the missing girl from Kalos. The last thing White wanted was for her and the others to be accused of kidnapping.

"So was there anything you wanted to see?"

Abel had come to stand next to her. White heard his large leathery wings beat faintly.

"Just one place." She answered, glancing at the houses. "It's not even a tourist attraction, so you can go with the others if you want."

"I'll stay here if you don't mind. You're not as optimistic as them, but I do like happy people."

White chuckled a little and started walking down a row of houses on her right. It had been almost four years since she had seen the place she wanted to see. Not many people would be interested by it. If people were interested in the place, it was because of who lived there. What they did. Their accomplishments. But it wasn't exactly that for White. Yes, she remembered their accomplishments, but she remembered more of the pain they inflicted on her. The heartbreak. The tears. Her jealousy.

She then noticed the thunking noise coming from Abel. She saw something like a necklace around his neck. It was black and blue, with an appearance like a large marble. White had seen orbs like that before. One on Rapi, one on Ray, and one on Sky Blue's Areodactyl.

"Is that a Mega Stone?" She asked the Charizard, pointing to Abel's necklace.

"What, this?" He said, looking at the stone. "Yes, it is. All of us, your grandfather's pokemon, have one. Well, Samuel doesn't have one. Abram, Solomon, Jeremiah, Eve, and I all have one."

"Eve?"

White looked at the Charizard curiously. Something stirred in her memory. She remembered hearing that name when being introduced to Abel and the others.
