Twins of kalos (5th place in Adventure) PWA 2018

Chapter 30: Café*

Around 30 Pokémon were scattered around mom's farm. All of Wayne's Pokémon, along with the grunt's, have been removed from their Pokéballs. Some decided to scatter off while the others were given new Pokéballs for the sake of their safety

"My..." mom sweat dropped, looking at them all "there's... a lot!" I nodded

"I hope you don't mind taking care of them. I don't expect you to do it forever. My old friend is busy at the moment, so when he's done I'll ask him to help find homes for them" I looked at the larger Pokémon playing with the farm Pokémon and even the shiny Pokémon that were going to be sold for money "I might have a place for them, can you care for them until then?" the Pokémon the gang members had were oddly large for their particular species, probably given steroids to build up muscle and power "they shouldn't be too hard to handle" I could feel mom staring at me "I can't tell you where I got them, just know they are rescued"

"Actually..." she pointed at Pichu in my arms "you're holding..." I sighed, feeling the heat build up in my cheeks

"I don't want to talk about it, mom" even if it's great that I got over my fear, it's not a happy story if I think about how I got over it... "will you be able to handle them for now?"

"Oh! Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard to handle them all. They seem pretty sweet for their size"

"I suppose" I popped my neck

"Anyways... have... you heard of anything" I looked at mom looking at me with eyes full of hope "you've been gone for so long to find her... I-I don't want to loose hope!" She cupped her face

"Mom..." I reached to hold her, but stopped, not knowing how to show sympathy "you don't have to worry... she's... fine" she snapped her head up at me "please don't tell anyone this, I promised her"

"Promised her..?" I took her shoulders

"She's depending on me, mom. Keep this between us. She's fine" I smiled "she's still the same Serena" she burst out in tears of joy and attacked me with a hug, nearly crushing Pichu

"Oh dear... I knew she was still alive!" I nodded, holding onto the back of her shirt "go get 'em honey. Even if I don't know what's going on, I believe in you to protect her" I nodded

"You can count on me. I won't let anything happen to my twin sister" she giggled and played with my hair

"Your hair... it looks good when it's up" I played with my ponytail I put together "you should keep it like this more often" I took out my scarf and once again, wrapped my hair to hide it all

"I can't do that, not yet anyway..." she sighed

"Well, with whatever reason you have to hide your beautiful features, I'm just happy you're doing better" I was confused "you're glowing a little... only a little. Are you in love?" My face felt hot

"W-what!?" She giggled, cupping her lips

"Don't tell me, you and Calem!?" I cupped my face, feeling weird about what's happening. What's going on right now!? "Oh! How cute! You know your sister was always talking about how you two would look so cute together?" She pinched my cheeks. I slapped her hand away and rubbed my face

"You have it all wrong... he's" I looked at the Pokémon I saved running free "just a friend" to think I've accepted the others as my friends, and to Shauna... I told her and she looked like she just won a award or something "he's very clingy"

"Friend? I thought you didn't need friends" she smiled "I can see why you're glowing. You're not the same girl you were when you first came home" I widened my eyes
