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

Chapter 52: Home*

The dream I had back in the penthouse when I looked back at my memories with Xerneas was the time I decided that I wanted to go back to Kalos. The time I faced dad's grave brought down my guilt, but the regret will forever remain. I knew dad never blamed me, and now I know that he wouldn't want to see me alone again. Cynthia had contacted me while I was playing my harp for my Pokémon, strange how she got my number, I agreed to meet her. The only time she was available was after my family left, the same time I planned on going to Lake Verity to meet Mesprit, and even if I could had told them I wasn't staying forever like they thought I was, it'll just make it that much more surprising when I show up. Even so, I didn't have a plane ticket

Since seeing that I technically met Cynthia back in my youth, when she contacted me, I really had to meet her. Xerneas told me to meet Mesprit again, so I did. I had no idea what the rock it gave me was for, but I held it close to my body while taking the plane back to Kalos after so many flights, I could still feel a strange aura in this rock

"Ohh!" I flinched and looked around, looking for Floette and its voice "is that what I think it is?" I closed my eyes to see it floating in front of me

"What a pleasant surprise... where have you been?"

"I was watching over AZ, but aside from that... I didn't think I need to talk to you all that much anymore" she smiled at me "you look lots better... I'm glad to see a shine in your eyes"

"Yes... I feel more confident more than anything" she nodded happily and floated around me "are you going to watch AZ forever?" She stopped and looked down

"I... I won't until he understands..." I was confused, but knew I shouldn't push anything out of her "that rock you have in your hands..." I looked at the rock I was still holding "you should take it to Anistar City!"

"You mean the place Calem and I almost married in front of?" I blushed hard when remembering that "what's so special about this rock?"

"It's more than just a rock! You'll see... when you do, give it to the one you love most" she held her heart "give it to the one you want to share your heart with" I blinked confused, not knowing what a rock got to do with affection or the heart, but I didn't say anything and just stayed in the dream world until the flight has landed

B started whining as soon as we got outside, holding its stomach "I'm sorry, B, you're carrying more clothes and even furniture in your body and you're feeling full. Don't worry, I won't have you carrying so much again" we finally made it outside the airport and the first thing I did was send out Salamence and flew off to the first place I wanted to go. There was a place in Couriway Town that I saw for sale during the time I was sitting with Romeo during the hospital visit, and I'm deciding to get it for myself, since I had so much stuff with me. We flew all the way there to see the house and already saw Romeo standing there

"Calvin-Kun" I called. He jumped and turned to me, freaked out

"Oh! You scared me!" He calmed down "it's good to see you back... I'm glad you called me to request those tickets again. I would like to ask what changed your mind, but I can't help but wonder... did you just call me Calvin-kun?" I nodded

"Yes... it's actually best now that since we left that past behind, we shouldn't call each other by our false name anymore" I played with my hands "call me Sakura from now on"

"Huh? Sakura?" I nodded shyly

"Yes... even if Sophia was my first given name, my dad use to always call me by Sakura. I want to use that name because of that time..." when I was a normal child with emotions before they were taken from me "I don't want to go into detail, but Sakura is the new me. I'm not the same person I was before, not while growing up" he stared at me for a long moment before nodding happily
