Pokémon XYZ The Path to A Love Unknown

Chapter 4 A Slight Conversation

Mairin Vales' POV

The only things I heard about being a beginning trainer is that the first few months are to be easy and crazy when it comes to facing wild Pokemon including those above your level.

What wasn't expected to happen was getting thrown into a big-Evil Organization attempt to destroy the world, but failed-kind of situation, which happened to me.

It only has been a day and the event is getting crept upon me. The vines, Lysandre's speech, that giant Zygarde, the true form of Zygarde. Most of it was giving me a headache, but in the end we all lived. Remembering this event may should be worth a lesson for my journey. 

Chespie and Bebe are playing happily with the other Pokemon. Seeing Chespie healthy and well again brings joy in my heart. Having some time in a come not only changes the one put in that coma, but also the loved ones having a connection to the victim. Chespie has been feeling more better than before which is great as if nothing really changed at all. 

Alain's been feeling depressed on the counter side. He hasn't been interacting much lately with either me or mostly others. It has only been a day since Team Flare's traumatizing attack and he's begun to have a different set of emotions stored in him. What ever is upsetting Alain is getting affecting to others as well.

Charizard has been trying to get its trainer to at least talk to someone, which doesn't work. I thought about this for a real while and decided that maybe I can talk to him today. Right now, he was in the living quarters sitting on the couch alone. This was the chance.

"Hey Alain" I said entering the room. He looked at me for a bit, but his expression didn't change. I only just sat down next to him. In front of us was a small coffee table with a wagon in it. Maybe that could be a good conversation starter. 

"Gee," I started "I didn't know you had this kind of coffee table while we were here". Alain just looked at the table, his eyes not changing emotion "It's been there for a long time," he answered "A friend of mine back then wanted it when we were at a garage sale, she really like its design".

"You had a friend before?" I asked getting as bit interested "Yes," he replied back "she was two years younger than me, basically Ash and Serena's age, I guess" 

"Where's she now?"   

"I don't know," His voice was a bit sounding sad when he said it "She went on her journey after she turned 10 with only her closest partner. After that, I haven't got much notice of how she was doing. But I know it may be what she wanted".

"You really care about her, I see that. But that also could mean you care about others too, right? She went on her journey by her own accord, so it's alright"

"What are you trying to get at Marin?" Alain asked, he's starting to get curious.

"I don't blame you!" I blurted all out. This gave Alain the surprised look. It was a look that I knew would show somehow "Lysandre used you, I understand, but that doesn't mean you should be depressed about what you were forced to do! Chespie is healthy now, and it's happy to see the both of us. How about we just let the past be the past and be friends again!" 

Alain's eyes began to water, but I felt mine were as well. It was as if everything around us didn't exist and it was just the two of us. I embraced Alain with a hug letting tears rain down my face while Alain's arms embraced me. Our reflection on the glass of the coffee table showed the both of us mended together again.
