8 parts Ongoing Many years ago, Azalea began her journey, around the same time that Augustine Sycamore {Since I don't know... I'm putting his age to about 28 since Alain is about 16-18 and it's been like 3-5 years since he left for his journey and we know Sycamore was at least a professor at least 3-5 years prior so I'm setting this story about 10 years prior to Kalos beginning so while Azalea is 16, Sycamore is 18} became a Pokemon Professor. Getting a late start due to her taking care of one of her last remaining family she had left, her grandfather who has since passed away, she heads on her journey where she teams up with a fifteen year old girl by the name of Raine whose dream is to be an amazing breeder like the rest of her family.
Along the way, Azalea meets Professor Augustine Sycamore and the two become friends and have a slight attraction for each other. But while Azalea gets annoyed by Augustine, Augustine begins to like Azalea a lot. For years, the two don't say anything, just remain friends due to her Absol being overprotective of her.
Around the start of Pokemon X&Y {TV SHOW} Azalea returns to visit her friend and check on her Espeon who had been in Augustine's care for about three years due to Espeon's friendly rivalry with Garchomp as a Gible. It is then that she encounters Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and his friends who notice that Azalea and Augustine are in love. And it's around that time that their blossoming romance truly begins!
