The girl's brown hair is tied in a pigtails and a white rounded hat on top of her head with a red ribbon on it.

Her outfit is consists of a black top under a quarter sleeved dark red sweater with a liege  beige collar along with a denim jeans, a white knee length stocking and a pair of red shoes with white soles.

The boy wears a red hoodie with a collar,  a black shorts and a pair of of red and white sneakers. He wears his a mustard yellow and black cap backwards with his navyhair showing off.

His partner is a Cyndaquil which is clinging to his shoulder.

The said boy was staring at the girl seated beside her in which the the girl was not paying attention for she was too focused on watching the sunset.

"Beautiful." The boy murmured havjng heard what the boy said the girl turned around to look at the boy with a very huge smile that made the boy blush.

" I know right." The girl happily said. " You know no matter how many times we watch the sun sets it still remain beautiful don't you think so Ethan ?"

"Yeah." The boy named Ethan answered.

The girl looked down at her lap and hug her Marill. " I wish things would stay the same between us Ethan."

Ethan averted his gaze from the girl and instead look at the sky which already turned dark. "Nothing would change between as Lyra, I promise you that." Ethans softly said.

Lyra just smile and look at the the starry sky jsut like Ethan. She close her eyes and said gently, "You better keep your promise Ethan."

"I would Lyra, I would." Ethan said firmly.

A WEEK LATER

Ethan knock at Lyra's house, in which he heard Lyra yelled enthusiastically, "Wait a minute !!!" It makes Ethan laugh quite a bit for Lyra's happy go lucky attitude.

As the door opened Ethan blush a bit seeing Lyra carrying her Marill, " Oh Ethan, it's just you, I thought you were helping with Prof. Elm in his research today?"

Ethan started rubbing the back of his head, " Well the thing is uhmmm... ahhh.... Ummhhh." Ethan said mumbling nervously, witnessing her childhoodfriend like this makes Lyra laugh in which made Ethan stopped mumbling.

"You know you can tell me if something's bothering you, Ethan. We're friends after all." Lyra said still laughing.

Ethan close his eyes and took a deep breathe for some moments which made Lyra more curious on what's Ethan going to say to her.

Ethan started rubbing the back of his again, " You see..... Lyra, I - I, Prof. Elm kinda uhmmmm kinda give me an errand? " Ethan said unsurely.

"What kind of errand?" Lyra ask curiously.

" I'm gonna go out of town to deliver something for Prof. Elm's acquaintance and I'm not exactly sure how long I'll be gone, it might take a while to reach Cherrygrove City."

"I see " Lyra said her optimism replaced by sadness. She started lowering her head unable to face her friend which causes Ethan to feel uncertain about accepting Prof. Elm's errand.

Lyra hugs her Marill tightly, Marill sensing her trainer's sudden change of mood started squeaking hoping to comfort her trainer.

" Lyra, I-" Ethan started but was cut off by Lyra  saying, " Just take care okay? And call me when you have some time."

Ethan face sidewats and crossed his arms, " I can take care of myself Lyra, I'm not a kid anymore." Ethan finishing his sentence with a hmmp in which Lyra laughs at how Ethan acted.

Seeing Lyra laugh made Ethan smile for he doesn't want to see Lyra sad.

"Anyways Lyra, I promise you I'll call you everyday and take good care of myself until I came back home." Ehan said grinning.

"You better keep your promise Ethan." Lyra  said sternly.

"When did I ever broke a promise to you Lyra?"  Ethan asked jokingly while grinning.

" I guess you're right." Lyra smiled. " But be careful out there."

"No worries, I have my trusted Cyndaquil with me and he'll protect me from any form of danger, right Cyndaquil?" Ethan lowered his gaze to his partner.

"Cynda- cyndaquill. " The fire mouse pokemon replied proudly in which both Ethan and Lyra laugh.
