Bridging The Gap; The Final Records In Unova: An Autobiography

Just The Two Of Us

The three of us were breathing hard today, practically dying underneath the intense heat from the sun. If we didn't know it already, summer was definitely here.

June moaned every couple of minutes, dragging her feet forward through the dirt ground.

Courtney would let out a noticeable sigh and complain about the heat every once in a while. "I can't keep this up!" she groaned, running her hand through her damp, blonde hair that was sticking to her tired, red, sweaty face. "This is ridiculous! Don't you guys have any Water type Pokemon to cool us off?"

"I don't think so," I mumbled, too drained to remember what Pokemon I had with me.

"June, you have that Vaporeon," Courtney begged. "Please, just a spray on my face, or a sip for my throat. I'm dying here!"

"It's not that bad," June panted, her red hair stuck to her own sweaty face, red under the sun. She swallowed and ended up choking.

"Just fill up my canteen!" Courtney held her pink canteen upside down and shook it. Not a drop of water fell from it.

June sighed, squinting at Courtney angrily as the sun blinded her. "I don't wanna stop and reach in my bag for her Poke Ball. Let's just keep moving and rest when we reach a Pokemon Center or something. I'm sure we're not far from one."

"Easy for you to say! You still have water to drink! Gary and I don't!"

Why did she have to include me in this argument? I wondered tiredly.

"And Gary isn't crying like a little girl, either," June pointed out.

I was exhausted as it was, dying of thirst and burning up under the sun. Having these two arguing wasn't making things any easier, and I was too worn out to yell at them to shut up. As if I don't have my own stress on my mind, I thought to myself sadly. These two bicker over anything! I inhaled deeply, letting my breath out in exasperation.

"All I want is a little bit of water!" Courtney argued. "I know you hate me and you want me to die, but you could choose a more humane way of going about it, like stabbing me in my sleep or something!"

"Don't put it past me," June said moodily, turning away from her. She raised her water bottle to her lips and took a sip from it. She wasn't even able to hide the smirk from her face.

"June!" Courtney came to a stop and stomped her foot.

June and I stopped and turned to Courtney.

June raised an eyebrow.

My own eyes were wide.

Courtney looked infuriated, breathing harder than ever, her face deep red, sweat tumbling down. She opened her mouth to say something.

A soft voice spoke as something appeared through the bushes.

We all turned to the creature, and Courtney and June gasped in awe.

Hmm, I thought, pulling out my Pokedex. I know that Pokemon...

Lilligant. The Flowering Pokemon, and Petilil's evolved form. The flower on Lilligant's head will wilt if not taken care of. The flower has a sweet smell that relaxes those who come into contact with it. This is a female-only species.

"Lilligant," Lilligant said gently, staring at us.

Both girls screamed with delight.

"She's soooooooo cuuuuute!!" Courtney squealed.

"She looks like a princess! She's a doll!" June gushed.

They were right. Lilligant did look like someone dressed in a beautiful green dress made of fancy, robust leaves, a gorgeous, red flower on their head with a gold crown on top of it. This Pokemon was very elegant, without a doubt.
