Pokemon: Love in Kalos!

Chapter Eight: I've Never Met A Girl Like You

"So you're heading to Cyllage City after this?" Augustine asks as they headed out at the end of the day.

"Yes." Azalea responds.

"You two be careful." Augustine tells her, "I truly wish you luck. In two weeks I've got a meeting in Shalour City with the Gym Leader on Mega Evolution. It could make for another interesting lesson for you with Absol. What do you say about joining me in Shalour City around that time?"

"Shalour is where I'm heading after the Cliff Badge right?" Azalea asks.

"Yep." Augustine responds.

"T-Then of course! I'd love to meet you in Shalour City." Azalea responds as her cheeks flush red. Augustine nods and smiles at her.

"I'll see you then." Augustine responds. They look over to see Raine approaching.

"Raine, you missed a lot of fun reading." Augustine tells her.

"I'm sure Azalea will tell me if she wasn't distracted." Raine teases.

"I'll have you know, I read a lot and learned a lot. I'm meeting Augustine in Shalour City after my next gym battle to learn from the gym leader there." Raine explains, "Wait, does that mean the gym leader uses Mega Evolution?"

"Yes, he calls himself the Mega Evolution Guru. So much so that everyone doesn't use his actual name..." Augustine responds with a laugh. Azalea's cheeks flush red at his laugh.

"Interesting. Well, I'll see you there, Augustine." Azalea tells him and he nods with a gentle smile.

"Until next time, ladies." Augustine tells the two before he gets into his car and leaves.

"I know typical journeys are done on foot but why didn't I bring my car?" Azalea asks. She could drive even though she was sixteen. She looks at Raine.

"Go ahead, I know you're dying to ask how it went." Azalea states.

"First of all, walking is a great way to exercise the legs and secondly, how was the castle date?" Raine asks. Azalea's cheeks flush red.

"I-It wasn't a date." Azalea states before her eyes widened and she grabs the side of her head, "Oh my gosh... Raine, do you think he thinks the Shalour City meeting will be a date?!" She looks at her friend with a panicked expression.

"I mean Augustine is smart but not sure if he is aware of it himself, so maybe?" Raine responds and Azalea squeaks in embarrassment. She then looks down and gulps. She takes a deep breath and regains her composure. She couldn't get her hopes up. Everyone she's ever cared about left her. She glances over at Raine. Eventually Raine would leave her too.

"Come on. I want to make it to Cyllage City and whip Grant's tail." Azalea explains, "What does your cousin's information tell you about the Cyllage City Gym?"

"Besides using Rock types?" Raine asks.

"Well, I mean, that's all I need to know, honestly." Azalea responds, "Okay, I need a strong water type!" She takes off running, fully determined. They head out of Camphrier Town and they come to another big fancy building.

"The Battle Chateau?" Azalea asks. The Battle Chateau was invite only though, as much as Azalea and Raine wanted to try it out, they weren't invited to join, just yet. They moved on to the Connecting Cave which would come out practically in Ambrette Town. They head into the cave only to get lost from the path and each other. Absol and Azalea managed to stick together but they were separated from Raine. They wandered around for hours looking for Raine. Absol stops as he senses something. He headed over towards it. He stares at a rock.
