Chapter 3 - Motive?

Kel hummed a cheerful tune as she prepared food for her Pokémon in her cozy cottage by the lake. The aroma of fresh berries and roasted seeds filled the air as she stirred the contents of a bubbling pot on the stove.

Just as she was about to serve the meal to her eager Pokémon, a knock echoed through the cottage. Kel blinked in surprise, not expecting any visitors out here in Sinnoh, let alone at her secluded home by the lake. Curious, she wiped her hands on her apron and made her way to the door.

To her astonishment, standing on the other side was none other than Sonichu himself. Kel's eyes widened in surprise as she took in his familiar form, not expecting to see him here of all places.

"Sonichu! What brings you all the way out here?" Kel's voice held a mixture of surprise and delight as she opened the door to find the familiar electric Pokémon standing before her.

Observing Sonichu closely, Kel couldn't help but notice a subtle change in his appearance. There were dark circles under his eyes, a telltale sign of fatigue that hadn't been there before.

You look different. Did you do something with your hair?" Kel asked, oblivious to the signs of something deeper beneath the surface.

"Hey Kel, mind if I come in? There's something I need to talk to you about," Sonichu said, his tone serious.

Kel stepped back, allowing Sonichu to enter her cozy cottage. She watched as he took a seat at the kitchen table, his expression weighed down with a heaviness she hadn't seen before.

"Of course, come on in," Kel said warmly, motioning for him to sit. "What's on your mind?"

Sonichu hesitated, then began to speak. "Kel, it's about Rosechu. I need to talk to you about her."

Kel's initial surprise turned to confusion as Sonichu brought up Rosechu. "Rosechu? Are you inviting me to an event? Like a honeymoon?" she joked.

Sonichu shook his head. "No, Kel, it's nothing like that."

Kel's expression shifted from amusement to concern. "Did you two have a fight?" she asked, her tone more serious now.

Sonichu hesitated, his voice filled with uncertainty as he spoke. "No, it's not that. It's just... I feel like I don't deserve Rosechu."

"What?" Kel's eyes widened in shock.

"Ever since I met Rosechu, I took her away from you. I've done things that I'm not proud of over the years, and now I feel like Rosechu deserves better than me," Sonichu admitted, his gaze falling to the floor. "I've done... things I'm not proud of with my own hands, and Rosechu has been influenced by my actions. Kel, I'm asking for your forgiveness."

"A moment of  hung in the room.

"Does Rosechu know you're here?" Kel asked, her voice gentle.

Sonichu shook his head silently. Kel rose from her seat and approached Sonichu, who still kept his gaze fixed on the table before him. With unexpectedly , she placed her hand on Sonichu's shoulder.

"Sonichu," Kel began, her voice carrying a tone of unwavering confidence, "you and Rosechu are destined to be together. The bond between you two is stronger than any mistake or misstep. Yes, you've made mistakes, but who hasn't? We all have our moments of weakness, but what truly matters is how we move forward from them."

She continued, her words flowing smoothly as if rehearsed. "You and Rosechu have faced challenges together, and you've always come out stronger on the other side. Your love for each other transcends any darkness or doubt. Trust in that love, Sonichu, and know that everything will be alright."
