A Couple Made In Dreams

Chapter 14: The Quest

Onto gossip, FairyGodValerie's typing speed seemed to increase: "They are both in Lumiose city, it's such a coincidence. Serena, are you in Lumiose too?"

Serena: "En, studying in Lumiose."

It wasn't actually a coincidence. This server was called "The Capital of Kalos" and so for people in Lumiose to use this server was just natural. Thinking about it that way, Master and the others were probably also at Lumiose city.

Serena started to wander off in her thoughts.

FairyGodValerie: "I'm in Laverre City, 555(crying). Otherwise I'll come find you guys. Oh, I have Xavier and DemonessAmelia's couple pictures. He's pretty handsome. You wanna take a look?"

Serena: ">o<, nope"

Serena had no real interest in what ChampionXavier looked like in real life. Otherwise, in the months before the "divorce", she could have seen what he looked like. At that time, a couple in the sect had exchanged real photos. The result was that both sides couldn't accept each other's appearance. All that bravery and feelings had died a fiery death under the sun. It was at that time Xavier had wanted to exchange pictures. Serena had been somewhat shocked and used the reason "Don't have a digital camera, so no photo" to not send a photo. It had been true, but it sounded like a very fake excuse to refuse the request.

In Serena's mind, the kind of reason didn't matter. The important part was showing that she didn't have any intention of sharing photos. They were just internet acquaintances, didn't know each other's faces or their intentions. It was safer not to share pictures. Also, using "marriage" as the premise to share pictures, it had certain implications and Serena did not like those implications.

But ChampionXavier apparently didn't think that way. Thinking back, it had been from that time that his attitude had changed.

FairyGodValerie stubbornly asked again: "Sure you don't want to see?"

Serena: "Nope, >o<"

FairyGodValerie was dejected: "Have gossip but can't talk about it. Serena, you aren't cute at all. Have you met PokeMasterSatoshi? Is he handsome?"

The question startled Serena on the other side of the computer. She careless replied "Haven't met him", but in her head she started thinking. If MasterSatoshi wanted to exchange photos, would she be willing?

Almost ......

Yes.

If Satoshi wanted to meet up?

Almost like ...... yes.

Ah~~~

Serena frightened herself with the two "yes" and thought that, with Satoshi's personality, he wouldn't ever make this kind of request. So these two possibilities would never happen. Though Serena started to feel regretful now she thought more about it.

With everyone else she could leave behind in the Pokemon, but with Satoshi .....

Serena suddenly didn't want to think further.

The bribe incident Serena didn't tell Satoshi. It was a minor thing, nothing to discuss.

The next day, Serena and Satoshi fulfilling all expectations, winning first place in the contest, and received a whole heap of prizes. Including, of course, the vaunted set of clothing for couples.

Serena immediately changed into it once she got it. It was very beautiful, refined and classical. The colors could change into the colors of the rainbow. She had great fun cycling through the choices.

Brock said to Satoshi: "You change into it too."

Serena nodded on the side, and sent an emoticon with hearts for eyes.
