To Wage the War

Alli: *Recalls Volt* Now if I can get Past Kanasta.... *Calls up Elm, And trades Volt for another Pokemon* Might as while train while I have a break... Kunune, Purin, go!

Kunune: Glaceon!
Purin: I'm looking foward to this.
*they start the training*

Kate: You have a Glaceon too? That's nice...

Luke: You gave it your best shot Kate! It was a good battle.

Kate: Yeah...

Zeke: I don't know what to say or feel...

Kate: Huh?

Luke: He's been feeling torn the whole match.

Kate: That's Zeke for you.

Luke: *laughs*

Alli: Yeah...He's one of the best contest pokemon I've got. You really did great out there Kate. You gave Volt and I a run for our Money.
Kunune: Glaceon!
Alli: Now I need to Make sure Kunune, Purin and I can beat Kanasta! Heheh...
Falkner: Alli, don't be so unconfident.

Zeke: C'mon Alli... don't feel like that... I'm sure you can win!

Luke: Of course NOW he fixes himself...

Kate: At least he feels for me too Luke.

Luke: I guess so.

Zeke: Two Eevee evoulutions? That'll go great. Where did you get the Glaceon? You must have been in the Sinnoh region yes?

Alli: yes, we visited Anna shortly after her Loss to Cynthia. And Kunune Evolved there. Snowpoint city was so cold!

Zeke: How strange... we could have met so much sooner...

Nuck: I also have an eeveelution, but i sent my jolteon to Professor Rowan, to watch for me.

Kara and Cecilia: *Blocks the dust causes by the explosion* Who won?

Typhlosion and Altaria: *Fainted at the same time*

Kara: *smiles* I think your ready.*

Cecilia: *smiles and hugs Kara* Thank you...

Alli: *Pats Kunune* I'm Surprised we havent met before Zeke, i went under the name Hina back then....it was for....Safety reasons...

Zeke: Safety reasons? Was there an incident? [i]There had been something going on, but I was too concerened about Kate at the time...maybe...[/i]

Falkner: Someone was after her.
Alli: Falkner!
Falkner: Well Al, I'm telling the truth. We had them Keep her under the stage name Hina until the guy was captured. but we never found him. he eventually just stopped going after her.

Zeke: I've heard about something like that, I looked into it, thinking it was Kate. When I found that 'Hina' was an ailas, and not Kate, I stopped looking there. So close, yet so far away... how ignorent I think now.

Luke: What about that Pete dude that gave you a hard time Kate?

Kate: Yeah, Pete was obsessed with me. He might still be obsessed, but he wouldn't think that I left. *giggles* I loved it when Zeke beat him up for me. He treated me like a girlfriend when he couldn't get one.

Zeke: Things are different now Kate, but if Pete were to show up again, I would still beat him to the ground, for he might get obsessed with both you and Alli.

Luke: *chuckles* Very protective aren't you? Guess that isn't a bad thing.

Zeke: I do it because I care.

Luke: I know, I know.

Kara: So you wouldn't be protective of me Luke? *sounds sad*

Cecilia and Kara: We'll be Alli and Kate's body gaurds too.

Cecilia: I don't think I would have made friends if Alli hadn't met me...

Kara: And because of that Cecilia got her Venusaur back and she's in good hands. Even though I don't show it I worry about her, and so I also am in dept to Alli.

Kara and Cecilia: So we're in!

Luke: Ah, I...I...Kara... *finds himself speechless*

Zeke: *chuckles* He's never been in love before Kara, he's always made fun of me when I was in love, he's facing payback now, and--

Luke: I don't like it!

Zeke: Guess you apologize?

Luke: YES!

Zeke: Haha! Yeah, I'm sure he'd be protective over you Kara, he just isn't showing it right now.

Kara: .....*still lookes sad*

Zeke: Huh? Somathing's wrong...

Luke: *looks at Kara, ignoring Zeke* K-K-Kara... *hugs Kara* ......

Zeke: [i]Best to have Luke handle this, I shouldn't make fun now.[/i] *turns attention back to Alli*

Kara: *hugs Luke and smiles* ..... I was just pretending to be sad you know... *laughes* I do the same thing to Cecilia but I'm loving this hug....

Luke: *laughs* I couldn't tell if you were pretending. Why don't we go for a walk?

Kara: Sure. *smiles and walks with Luke*

Falkner: He bounces back quick!
Alli: Falkner....
Falkner: What Alli? that's a good thing.
Alli: Whatever. Kunune, come on, you too Purin, we need to get ready now.
Purin: (Of Course!)
Kunune: Glace!
Alli: Starts to walk off with her pokemon*

Luke: *puts an arm around Kara and smiles* I can see why Zeke loves to put his arms around Alli and Kate. *laughs*

Meanwhile...
Zeke: Huh? What was that about Falkner?

Falkner: Look Zeke, being able to bounce back is good. It means you can aim for less heartbreak in your life. Alli's bounced back from a few guys before, ones where her relationship just didn't work out. Shows she can aim for high things in life.

Zeke: *chuckles sheepishly* ...Alli's helped me to bounce back from my harsh past, and being with her has boosted my confidence to heights I never imagined. That's why she's means just as much Kate means to me...

Cecilia: *stands beside Falkner*


-------------------------------
Kara: Why is that? *smiles*

Luke: Guess it helps to know what you're holding onto, precious jewels that represent the fruit of your work here in life I guess. I'm sure if I talked to Zeke about this, he wouldn't understand, but he would try and discuss about that.
