United Destiny: The Hero and The Hybrid

Chapter 34

Prism Tower was of course closed by the time they had gotten there. As it was getting like group decided to head to the Pokemon Center to check in instead. The Lumiose City Nurse Joy had a smile on her face as she handed the group their room key. "Sorry, it took so long we've had a lot of visitors from other regions."

Looking all around they could see that was an understatement. Dozens of them were talking with each other or staring at both Serena and Ash whispering with one other. The knowledge of mega evolution it seems was making Kalos a rather popular region. "This won't happen to be a room with a single bed would it?"

Anabel raised an eyebrow as she felt both annoyance and acceptance from both Serena and Ash. Her eyes widened as she realized that this meant it must have happened before. Nurse Joy shook her head at this. "Oh no, I would do that." She stopped before a question arose from the Nurse's mouth. "Wait, you three aren't in a relationship together are you?"

The three of them blushed their eyes widen in shock. All around them trainers whisper to each other as rumors were about to spread. Serena got over her shock and yelled out her face beet red. "No! Why would you even ask that!"

A nervous laugh escaped Joy's mouth as she held up her hands in defensive. "I'm sorry it's just when you asked about a room with a single bed, and I thought that you know." Joy looked away taking a step back as everyone in the lobby looked at her. "You three are together in a relationship."

"Well we aren't," Serena rolled her eyes before clarifying the situation for her. "Only me and Ash are in a relationship, Anabel is just our friend." Serena's words stun ever so much into the psychic's heart. Reminding her of what she didn't have yet again.

Pikachu wanted to laugh at this turn of events. After all, it was hilarious that the Nurse thought that the three of them were in a relationship. Yet when he looked at Anabel instead of annoyance he could see the conflict written all over her face. That alone caused him to no longer find this funny. 'Arceus, this feels unnecessarily cruel.' The electric rodent felt the need to speak up for her or something.

Deciding to put all of that behind them Serena pulled out her pokeballs. In a flash, she let each, out one by one, while Anabel watched as appearing in order were, Braixen, Absol, Audino, Pancham, Sylveon, Zoroark, and finally Popplio. The Frontier Brain knew that something was up, 'Wait counting Gardevoir that's eight Pokemon with her.'

Zoroark looked at the new girl with a questioning look on her face. The dark type turned her attention to Gardevoir as she asked about Anabel, "Ok what did we miss?"

"A lot actually." Gardevoir inform motioning to Anabel as she was the most relevant right now, "This Anabel she's going to be traveling with us for the foreseeable future."

"Serena," The Frontier Brain decided to push the issue of why she had eight Pokemon with her. She had heard about extensions in time of emergency, or as rewards in certain tournaments and competitions. "Why do you have eight Pokemon with you?"

Serena sighed as she spoke apart of her still annoyed at the Kantonian Professor's actions. She was rather happy yes but still, "Because Professor Oak updated both mine and Ash's Pokedex using a weird loophole that allows us up to eighteen Pokemon."

Anabel knew the loophole she was talking about. The infamous Kanto Couples loophole which again drove him to her that Ash was taken. Braixen turned to Gardevoir whispering to her honorary sister as she noticed the shift in Anabel's mood. "What's the matter with her?"

Anabel sat down lost in her thoughts as she just sat it in silence reflecting on everything that had happened. "Hey, Anabel why don't you have your Pokemon join us?" She was brought out as she realized that Ash and spoken to her.
