Electric Feel || Pokémon Sword and Shield (Gordie x OC)

Chapter XIX: Confession I

Once Thora and her bandmates went on stage, the the crowd roared and cheered! Huge explosions erupted just when the music played as the concert commenced. While Thora and her band were playing through their set, Thora was in the moment. She could feel the energy from everyone in the audience screaming, roaring, cheering, yelling, calling out her name. It felt rejuvenating. Thora couldn't help but smile contently as she sung her heart out and played her electric guitar for the fans who came out to see her and her band. In the guitar solos, Thora let her heart out as she played out the solos while singing out her heart and soul. Everyone was watching her perform, but deep in her heart, she was hoping the one person who would watch her would be Gordie. While playing through their set, many memories began to surface through Thora's mind:

During their second and third song, Thora began to remember the memories she shared with her father during her training. Thora at the time was six years old with her Toxel helping her strengthen its attack and defense. Another memory she recalled was when she was given Dracozolt as a her second Pokemon on her tenth birthday. At first, Dracozolt wanted nothing to do with Thora but surprisingly she was able to befriend it by presenting her right hand to Dracozolt looking away. Out of curiosity, Dracozolt looked at Thora's hand then nudged its head onto her hand. Wyndham was at a loss of words over what he had witnessed but was proud that Thora was able to handle the situation calmly. After befriending Dracozolt, they encountered a Rotom which Thora used Dracozolt for the first time to battle and helped her obtained her third Pokemon Rotom. Once Thora caught Rotom, Wyndham gave Thora a Rotom catalog using it to obtain Mow Rotom.

During the fourth and fifth song, Thora began to remember the time she spent with her grandfather Thor. One memory that resurfaced was when Thora was twelve, he took Thora to the Isle of Armor where he taught her about a technique to help strengthen her Electric Pokemon. It was during a massive thunderstorm, at first, Thora was hesitant about training during a storm but Thor reassured her that there was nothing to worry about and learn to face her fears head on. She withdrew her Pokemon and started with her Toxtricity who was struck by lightning and absorbed the blow. After witnessing what she had saw, Thora beamed as she continued on with her grandfather's training.

During the sixth and seventh song, Thora remembered the day her father and grandfather left the Galar region to search for enlightenment and to rekindle their relationship. The memory was still fresh in her mind as she felt tears rolling down her cheeks. She missed her father and grandfather dearly and the two songs were going out to both of them. Five years later, it felt like it was just yesterday that they left Galar to start their journey and nothing had changed. Though one day, she would be able to see them again but only time would truly tell.

While the band began their eighth and ninth song, out of the blue, Thora began to remember the memories she shared with her childhood best friend Gordie. She remembered their time when they took part in the Gym Challenge at 12 and 13 years old. Thora reminisced when Gordie talked about his dream of becoming a Rock Gym Leader and what his dream team would consist of but at times would be self-conscious about it but Thora applauded him smiling brightly. Gordie smiled nervously over Thora smiling at him then glanced at Thora with a stare that confused Thora a bit. He was glancing at her in an admiring way. Thora began to blush from then as she looked away which caused Gordie to awaken from his trance as he blushed looking away as well. More and more memories continued to resurface of her and Gordie, she couldn't help but smile as she played.

Another memory that resurfaced was her and Gordie supporting one another during their battles to expressing their dreams and even one memory of the two camping with one another and fell asleep in each others' arms. The last memory was of the day Thora was to move to Hammerlocke to start her new life as a Gym Leader, she was thrilled by the news but was upset she would leave behind Circhester but most of all...Gordie. Once she told Gordie the news, he was elated by the news but saddened she would be leaving. They made a promise they would see each other again and hope one day to battle one another. Gordie also reminded Thora to not forget the other promise which made her blush. She nodded as the two embraced one another before Thora headed out to Hammerlocke.
