46. Old friend
A.T.: I am really bad at talking about cloths so don't say Serena doesn't know how to call, it is just me. So just you can understand more, I will put link at the end of the chapter. But hey, I hope this chapter will make up for it...
No POV
The group was finally at Laverre city. A city with wide green plains, colourful variants of trees and unique buildings. The city was also known for their fashion.
After their situation with nightmares, they talked only once about it. Even though Bonnie recommended for her not to talk about Slash, she did because she believed it was needed. Lying to each other about details would only lead for more problems. All the informations confused everyone, Bonnie's added, but Ash would never show it.
But their mood was better after knowing that one of the enemies was gone. After that, Bonnie and Serena finally opened up to each other and fun talk many times. Most of time Bonnie talking how dirty talk older kids could have. They both laughed at it very much. Ash was at least more open now, which made everyone more happy. So if he would be around, he would laugh with them about it. But it all faded more and more when they were coming closer to Laverre city.
They decided to go in pokemon center because for unknown reason, Laverre city's gym was closed and Valerie's fashion probram showed nothing about canceling todays gym battles.
"Pokemon center is right behind the corner." Ash suddenly said turning without getting direction from Serena. The day they went into Laverre city, Ash, Pikachu and even Linda were quiet for most of a time.
"How would you know?" Bonnie was the fastest, but Ash just shrugged and gave no extra reaction. Since the Lumiose city, he would hardly ever give more information if some question was asked him. Although other things were better, this didn't change.
"One thing leads to another. It is just about time." but nothing more.
They quietly walked inside the pokemon center, when Serena noticed very familiar blue short hair friend. She stood there behind other girl with long purple hair. The girl was giving her pokemon to nurse Joy so Serena looked at Bonnie, thinking about thing that they would do when they see her next time. Serena looked with side look at Ash and he gave small smile. He knew.
"Hey Miette." Serena said with Bonnie by her side. Miette turned around, for a moment smile on her face and snarky comment ready when she noticed Bonnie.
"What the..." she looked with wide eyes at Bonnie for moment. "Is this Bonnie?" she asked pointing at her and Serena faked her confusion.
"Yeah she is. What is the problem?" Miette looked between them disbelieving.
"S-she, how older is she?!" Miette asked, waving with hands from top to bottom of Bonnie.
"I am ten newly. Do I look that older?" Bonnie asked with small smirk.
"Well, maybe you are habing problelm Miette. After all, you see everyone as the older then they are." Serena shrugged at her words.
Serena POV
"What's happening Miette?" a puple hair girl stood beside her looking at us confused. She was a little bit higher than me and Miette and I could see she had some muscles. But the thing that got my attention was a scar over her jaw line. She wore cream-colored top, that was hunging on her, with a pink collar and cuffs, a pink skirt with a big ribbon, white leggings that are colored yellow at the ends, and pink and white shoes with yellow straps.
"Iris tell me, did I hit myself in head in these last days?" Miette asked and she shrugged.
"I don't know Miette, I mean yeah I did once but I don't think you did." she said with slight laugh.
"Ok thanks." she turned to us looking at Bonnie more. "Can you please explain to me, why do you look so much older than we last time met?!" Miette yelled and we burst into laughing. "Haha, now you are just making fun of me. Clemont care to explain it?" she said, looking over us.
"Trust me, it is just confusing. Let me just tell you that we had very interesting situations." Clemont said and I was about to drop the bomb when the girl with Miette interrupted me.
"Linda?" surprising us, we turned to our new friend and she looked surprised as well but then her face turned into one of understanding.
"Hello Iris. We haven't seen each other for a long time." she said, but it didn't change Iris's expresion.
"What are you doing here? I thought you would be in Unova looking over Emboar." she said, surprising the rest of us except Miette looked with wide eyes. Iris walked up to us, looking at us for moment and she noticed our reactions. "And by your reactions, you know as well about it so let me ask, who are you?" she asked and I looked at her surprised. She eyed us and turning to her. "Back to original one, what are you doing here?"
Linda looked at her confused and by how she was expressing, it looked like it was very obvious. I didn't undestand it at all, but then I noticed one thing. We weren't in full numbers and when I looked at Linda who looked the way I did, she did too.
He was still here a while ago. But now Ash and Pikachu were gone.
"Oh yeah, where is your big guy? Is he even traveling with you?" Miette joked, but she didn't know that the whole tention changed the moment both girls started to talk to each other.
"You have to be kidding me." Iris spoke finally, slapping her face. "A little kid is back..." she said and without walked out of the pokemon center. Linda followed behind her leaving us behind for moment.
"What just happened?" Miette broke the silence, but none of us knew how to answer her. So I started to follow Linda and Iris outside. When I was out, I looked around to look for them and I saw them walking behind the corner and so I followed them, but I didn't rush to catch up to them.
I was starting to think I was thinking about coincidence that could have been there, but that part was only 1% of my minding thinking about.
And then I saw where girls where coming. Although the trees looked it would be a beautiful garden, the stones on grounds and the fences showed otherwise. And the main thing.
'Laverre city's cemetery'
I was about to walk in when I noticed another woman coming in. I knew the face immediately but I almost didn't recognise her with dark suit completely different from her bright colors. It was Valerie, the gym leader Ash was planning to have a gym battle with and very famous fashion designer.
She wore black tight dress that was wider at her feet and was holding on her with purple collar. The dress had purple sleeves and most parts of suit was with added cloth like white one over her breast and blue long between her legs. With what she wore on over hear long black hair an interresting purple head with blue and white spots.
I silently walked beside her because she was walking the same way as I did. SHe gave a small smile and I smiled back.
"Who are you here to mourn?" she suddenly asked. I almost giggled in nervosity, but I held it back. I didn't feel like it would be to do here.
"Friends of mine are here so I followed them here." I said and she gave a small smile again.
"Well, I can't say I am here to mourn as well." she said giving me a small giggle and I smiled. "I am here to honour a man eho died two years ago and was burried here." she said and gave acknowledge nod. Her eyes then widened in surprise but turned back. "I see his friends came as well." I looked back again forward and I saw both Iris and Linda. They were standing beside each other.
I walked closer to them, but I said nothing. I walked closer and noticed that there was someone in front of them kneeling before one of the tombstones. I recognised the yellow pokemon and black messy hair that didn't cover red cap now.
"Hey Iris." Ash said without looking at us and when my eyes landed on Iris, I could see the pain in them.
"Hi Ash." she answered back and then I noticed that around the tombstone stood other pokemon. I thought it was square stone but then I noticed the red head and multiple legs. On top of it was green pokemon with what looked like green bush on top of its head and next to very flat pokemon. Next to them, I saw also Lucario and Frogadier.
I looked at all of it confused until I finally saw the tombstone.
