   Kotone flipped through her comic while eating her soup. Her fever had cooled down for a while, which was good news for her. But just for safety precautions, the doctor urged Kotone to rest for a few days. She sighed. She missed the outdoors. The adventures. The battles.

   Kotone sighed again. Sitting on her bed all day was like solitary confinement. And what's worst, her pokemon were like guardians who were preventing her from escaping her own room. She frowned. Ever since the incident yesterday, her pokemon were extra cautious and protective around her. Even Typhlosion (who was helping around Prof Elm's lab yesterday) wasn't moving an inch away from her now.

   More sighs were heard. I have paranoid pokemon. Although she can't blame them. It was her fault for getting up forcibly to battle Silver yesterday. The thought of Silver visiting her just for that disturbed her – a small voice saying that he only cared about that. About battling. Nothing else. Kotone frowned.

   He's a jerk. Forcing me to battle. I'm sick. SICK! Does he not have a single clue about sickness? Sick people should be pampered, nurtured, and cared. They should have undivided attention by people and pokemon. Kotone sighed. But if it's Silver, all that means shit to him. I mean shit to him. All he cares about is beating me and becoming the Pokemon Master. She could feel her eyes stung a little. Tears were about to drop, in which Kotone was trying to prevent.
   
   "Stupid, stupid Silver," she muttered. A squeak from her was heard that caught her starter's attention.

   "Tyyyrroagh?" Typhlosion asked quietly. His front paws lying at Kotone's bed, touching her left hand. Kotone looked up and smiled, not wanting to cause so much worry in her pokemon. "It's nothing boy. I just thought of something stupid." She scratched the fire breather's ear. Typhlosion purred in happiness. He always loves being spoiled by his beloved trainer.

   But the intimate trainer-starter moment disappeared as soon as Typhlosion felt a certain presence. A presence he certainly hates. "Grrr." The pokemon turned around and growled at the bedroom door. Kotone held a confused look.

   "Ty Ty, whats wr-" Before Kotone could finish her sentence, a giant purple bat dashed at her and hugged her without warning. "Crooo!!!"

   Kotone shrieked. "Gahh! Crobat! Stop scaring me!" Crobat ignored the poor girl's order and hugged her tightly. Other than his trainer, Crobat likes Kotone. To him, Kotone is the sweetest most caring trainer there is. Besides, thanks to Kotone, he was able to evolve from a Golbat when she taught Silver on how to care and love for his pokemon.

   "Cro croo." Crobat crooned. Typhlosion was both pissed and jealous at the bat's sudden intimacy. But he was more getting more pissed as he heard the footsteps to Kotone's room were getting louder.

   "Crobat, stop being an idiot before I send you back into the ball again."

   Kotone looked up. She couldn't believe her eyes – again. It was Silver – again. He leaned against the edge of the door. His eyes were on the floor; his hands shoved in his pocket. Kotone wanted to yell at him – to be mad at him about yesterday. But something about his expression today made her feel…sorry?

   It was as if he felt guilty.

   Silver actually have feelings? Kotone shook head. Impossible.

   "Crobat." Kotone opened her eyes. It was Silver's voice. "I mean it, let her go. Now." She could hear the stern voice in him. For the first time, his voice almost made her...shudder. Crobat finally gave in and release his hug. But his smile was still present as he flapped his wings happily in front of Kotone. The sound of the creature's wings was able to snap her back to reality. The sick girl scratch the back of her head – feeling embarrassed of what she just felt.

   "Hi Crobat," she said with a smile. Kotone patted Crobat's head – giving the pokemon multiple happy yelps. Silver just sighed. His Crobat is seriously annoying. Since when did he become the happy-go-lucky type?

   Both the trainers' minds were snapped back into reality as they heard a growl. It was Typhlosion. Who was, as usual, crouching in a defensive position between Kotone and Silver. The red-head sighed. Thank God the pokemon wasn't with Kotone yesterday. If not, he might have become a sacred ash by now.

   Kotone bit her lip. She needs to set things straight to Silver. At least when her throat is doing fine for the time being. "Look, Silver. I know you want to battle me and I know you're damn anxious. But just…just wait okay. Maybe a few more days…"

   "I get it."

   Kotone's mouth was opened, speechless. She didn't expect an answer like that – not from him especially. "Huh?"

   Silver started to pace forward to Kotone's bed – only to be halted immediately when Typhlosion started to sprout fire from his back. Oh fuck! This pokemon seriously wants to burn me down! Crobat suddenly swooped in front of Silver – already in a fighting position. Uh oh.

   Before he could say a word, he heard Kotone's plea. "Typhlosion, please don't. I'm sick and I don't want my room to be burned down. Plus, Silver doesn't want to battle me right now –" she peeked her head around her giant beast to face him. "You..don't want to battle me right now, rig-ACHOO!"

   Silver hold up a laugh. In a weird way, her sneezing was actually kind of…cute.

   Wait…what? Silver facepalmed. Damn it! Stop thinking that way! Luckily, Typhlosion's flames subsided and he grunted in anger. As usual, the giant creature barged out of the room and gave a dangerous snarl at Silver. Silver frowned. I will never be in good terms with him. He looked at Crobat – giving him the signal that he needs to be alone. Crobat understood this and flew outside the window, not before giving Kotone a playful peck on the cheek, leaving the girl in giggles. Somehow, this causes a sudden jealous emotion inside Silver. An emotion he certainly hates. "Stupid Crobat," he muttered.

   "You said something?" Silver looked up. Kotone was looking at him. Her legs were covered with a white, fire printed sheet. She was wearing a regular size tee today and her hair was let down, only this time, it was neatly combed.

   Although her face still looked quite pale, she looked…different without her weird overalls, annoying pigtails and her stupid, puffy, oversized hat. Silver gulped. She actually looked…pretty.

   Kotone kept staring at Silver who kept staring at her. She felt slightly awkward and uncomfortable by his unusual stare. I know he's my stalker and all but this is too much. She then realized that they were still a few feet away. Kotone would love to get up but her body was still quite shaking. A sighed was released from her lips. "Silver, can you come a little bit closer? I still can't move much especially since yesterday's event," she muttered weakly but still a hearing distance.

   Silver bit his lip – guilt ran into his bones again. He felt like headbutting himself to a tree everytime the incident crossed his mind. Although he did actually did that, but then got a few multiple water shot by Feraligatr until he got tired of drowning. Slowly, the boy moved towards Kotone. His fist clenching in and out to ease out his nerves. A few steps later, he was standing next to her bed.

   Complete silence again.

   "So, how are you?"

   Silver nodded. "Fine."

   "Did anything interesting lately?"

   Silver shook. "No."

   Kotone kept her cool. "Caught any new pokemon?"

   Another shook. "No."
   
   Kotone was getting tired of this. "Silver, aren't you supposed to be training in the Dragon's Den today?" Silver felt like he wanted to slap his forehead. Damn it! I forgot! "Err…I had other plans." He stuttered – finally saying some words.

   The girl raised an eyebrow. "Oh, and does it include waiting for me to get healthy?"

   Silver clenched his fist harder. Sometimes the woman just loves to push her buttons. "Don't press your luck. You're not the whole world to me."

   This successfully tore Kotone's heart apart. "Oh." She muttered weakly. She shouldn't feel that way. It was Silver for God sake! "Well then, I think you should go." Her eyes were on her lap, she didn't want Silver to realize that her eyes were almost tearing up.

   Now it was Silver's turn to raise an eyebrow. "What?"

   "I said go. Train. You said you wanted to beat me. It'll do you no good if you keep hanging around here." Her voice was almost cracking. It was as if she was holding back her voice. Silver's guilt took over and he wanted to pat Kotone's head and for once in his life, ask what's wrong.

   But all of that disappeared when she said, "You don't want to be considered a weakling now don't you?"

   This started a small, annoyed fire in his heart. The woman was seriously pushing his buttons. And he was all out of buttons to push. "Alright then. It's on! I'm not coming back until I've become stronger and is satisfied enough to destroy you!" And with that, he stormed off.

   Little did he know, a tear had already fallen off Kotone's cheek.

          ------------------------------

   Silver barged through the hallway, completely ignoring Typhlosion's growl of threats. His heart and mind were a mix of determination and anger and hurt. Just as he was about to show some of his soft side, Kotone just had to ruin the moment. Damn woman.

   He ran down the stairs and walked past Patricia and Ampharos. Both the female sighed as they know the red-headed boy and Kotone had had a fit – again. "Err…I'm sorry to have wasted your time…" Silver muttered and bowed slightly at Patricia. As much as he was a hothead, but Kotone's mother had been so nice to him that he can't help reminding him of his own mother. "I gotta go." He barged to the front door.

   And got bumped on the head again.

   Arceus jeez fuck! Silver rubbed his head. This is the second time this week! He opened his eyes. Oh great, and it was by the same idiot. Silver held back a growl.

   Hibiki rubbed his forehead. Meganium tried to pull him up while Marill wiped the dust of his trainer's back. As his eyes were opened, he was surprised and a bit annoyed to see who he bumped into. "Oh hey! You again!" Hibiki shrugged it off and held his hand – a gesture to help Silver up.

   As usual, the hothead swatted the hand away.

   Hibiki was getting even more annoyed. "Seriously dude, what is wrong with you?"

   Silver stood up. He had no time to deal with such annoying brats. Although half of him wanted to run back into Kotone's room and locked both himself and the girl from the inside so that the annoying pest won't bother Kotone. That also meant he had Kotone all to himself. Just him…and Kotone…alone.

  Silver flinched at his own thoughts. Damn it damn it damn it! Stop it you stupid hormones!

   "Ah Hibiki, you're here." Silver heard Patricia's voice. He was still motionless as Hibiki walked away from him. He realized that the black-haired boy was holding a small pot.

   "Here are the poffins you wanted Mrs Soul." Hibiki handed her the small pot. As soon as Patricia opened the lid, the house was soon covered in a delicious scent of poffins. "Amphaa!" Ampharos shouted happily. The smell apparently attracted many of Kotone's pokemon. Whether it was her Rhydon, her Arbok – even her hot-headed Typhlosion scurried down to have a bite.

   "Cro!!" Silver faced the front door; Crobat swooped in as soon as he sniffed the delicious poffins. His trainer rubbed his temples in anger. What he heard next wasn't helping him at all.

   "Thank you Hibiki! Kotone would love this!"

   Before Silver could even think of commanding Crobat to slice Hibiki in half, he quickly ran out the door as fast as he could. Crobat who was a bit disappointed because he didn't have a poffin had no choice but to chase his trainer.

          ------------------------------

   Lance was scrubbing Dragonite's scale when suddenly he was caught off guard.

   "Lance!" He almost dropped the brush and fell of his Dragonite at the sudden echo. The man looked down – it was Silver. He sighed.

  "You know kid, I'm seven years older than you. So have some respect. And try not to yell in the Dragon's Den." With a graceful leapt, he landed on the ground without making any noise.

   Silver just snorted. Feraligatr smiled happily. "Look. I…erm…need a favour." Silver said between his teeth – hands shaking. Lance held a confused look on his face. Ever since the boy started training with him, this is the first time he'd ever seen him like this.

   "Sure. What? You want extra time in your training?" But Silver shook his head. Lance was even more confused. The young boy was almost shaking. His mouth formed a tight line while his Feraligatr was swishing his tail happily.

   Finally he sighed. "Look, if you want a Dratini from the Dragon Master, I already told you. It is not gonna happen. The master only gives the pokemon to people who he deemed worth-"

   "I want to bake poffins!"

   Well…that certainly rendered him completely speechless.

   After a few minutes of awkward silence (only to be filled with Feraligatr's roaring laughter), Lance finally opened his mouth. "What?"
Aaaaaand its done! I'm actually quite disappoint with this one. Sorry guys coz there's not much cute/fluff/adorable romantic whatsoever in this one. I'm saving that for last. (hopefully)

Btw, in this story, Kotone and Silver are both 17. So that makes Lance 24. It's all good <3

So to the people who's reading my story (especially since the 1st chapter), THAAAAAAAAAANKKK YOUUU! <3

I think i'm gonna love it here :3
