Chapter 18: Introducing Randy with Friends

Quilladin (Finn) POV:

        We were eating fantastic meals in the evening at the restaurant. Our trainers are having their own conversation, as the others and I were eating and drinking as we celebrate for Elizabeth and Darwin as they earned a badge from Grant. I'm very proud of Brittany and her friend, Amy, working as a team. As for Geo, let's just say he was very good at protecting Brittany from Amaura at the battle. Now that I mentioned something, Stella never met Brittany and Geo before, not even Randy. All of sudden, I felt something poking at my shoulder. I turn around to see who it is, it was Amy.

Quilladin (Finn): "Oh! Amy! You scared the crap out of me!"

Amy: "Oops. Sorry about that."

Quilladin (Finn): "It's fine. What is it what you need?"

Amy: "Oh, it's nothing. I just saw you the way you're thinking."

Quilladin (Finn): "Oh. Well, it's kinda hard to believe it or not. I made a promise for Stella to have with my friends."

Amy: "You mean Brittany and Geo?"

Quilladin (Finn): "Yeah...And also, they haven't met Randy yet. Only Stella and I know him."

Amy: "Oh, I see. Finn, I think it's a good time they all get to meet him and get along. It's a good start."

        Now that I think about it, it will be a good idea for the five of us. I thanked Amy as she sends Stella. She offers Victor to help me out, he agreed and sends Randy who is actually a Dewott. Randy and Stella know each other, which was fine, so I introduced Randy to Geo and Brittany. I saw the two laughed and having a great time with each other. We walked at the table where Geo and Brittany sat, and both were suspicious about what's going to happen.

Quilladin (Finn): "Hey there, lovebirds."

Frogadier (Geo): "Finn, what is it? Can't you see Brittany and I are eating now."

Braixen (Brittany): "Yeah, I was about to eat my delicious poke puffs."

Quilladin (Finn): *Grabbing three chairs with powerful vines* "I got bored with no one to talk to. So, I brought some two people that you guys have never met before."

         And with that, I placed the three chairs so Randy, Stella, and I could sit down with Geo and Brittany. Randy never met the two people in front of him even though he is from Unova. Geo wants me to know who is the new person to meet up with.

Braixen (Brittany): "So, Finn. Who is this one that you bring with? Because Geo and I never met him before."

Quilladin (Finn): "Well, Brittany, I did. Stella, if you don't mind."

Monferno (Stella): "Of course, this is Randy."

Quilladin (Finn): "He is from the Unova region."

Dewott (Randy): "Hello everyone. I'm so pleased to meet you. I can't believe you got me out of my Pokeball, Finn."

Quilladin (Finn): "You're welcome, bud. I just did that because you were nervous."

Dewott (Randy): "Well, I was nervous!"

Frogadier (Geo): "I'm Geo."

Braixen (Brittany): "And I'm Brittany, It's great to meet you, Randy."

Monferno (Stella): "Since when you two know Finn? I was so curious."

Braixen (Brittany): "Geo and I know Finn very well when we were the Starter Pokemon for Sycamore's laboratory."

Frogadier (Geo): "Yeah, he used to be nice but a little bit of a prankster."

Quilladin (Finn): "H-Hey! It used to be funny, but then I realized you were serious!"

Frogadier (Geo): "Yeah...right."

Dewott (Randy): "That is when before you three were going to separate ways, right?"

Braixen (Brittany): "That's correct...It was difficult for me to do..."

Frogadier (Geo): "Even though it was hard, I promised to myself we will see each other no matter."

Quilladin (Finn): "That's true, and guess what? I cried for 4 hours straight because I thought I was going to lose two of my friends who have a harsh life!"

Monferno (Stella): "You what?"

Quilladin (Finn): "That's right! I was worried about Brittany's safety, especially Geo's."

Frogadier (Geo): "You worry about? Wow, didn't expect that to happen."

        As I heard what Geo say, I didn't expect him to say it out loud. I was super ashamed of myself. Geo just pats my head as he held his laughter. Brittany says it's okay to worried about each other. Randy also tell everyone that we used to put pranks on themselves and it was hilarious. But Stella and I also wondered why Brittany was going back to me and Geo in the first place.

Braixen (Brittany) POV:

        I was so happy to with a chat with Randy and Stella, but Stella had a bad feeling that I never them about me having difficulty situations. Finn looked at me at the eye, wondering if I'm keeping a secret from Stella.

Braixen (Brittany): "What?"

Monferno (Stella): "Is there something that you tell us about?"

Quilladin (Finn): "Because I must worry about something."

         I was sweating so heavily, and I can tell Geo overheard of what Finn and Stella said. Geo knows because I already have told him way back from Lumiose City. Geo grabs my shoulder to turn around to discuss.

Braixen (Brittany): "What should we do?"

Frogadier (Geo): "We can't just lie to them. We just have to be honest."

Braixen (Brittany): "You're right. They have to know about this."

        We have no other options, but to tell the truth. We both nodding and went back to others who are waited for an answer.

Frogadier (Geo): "Alright, guys. We'll tell you what secret Brittany was keeping."

Dewott (Randy): "Oh...Really."

Braixen (Brittany): "Yes. Geo already knows because I explained everything to him."

Quilladin (Finn): "Okay, Geo, tell them what happened when you two and I get back together for some reason."

Frogadier (Geo): *Sighs* "Stella, the reason why we get back together is that Brittany wants to get away from Blaze."

Monferno (Stella): "What?!"

Quilladin (Finn): "It's true."

Dewott (Randy): "Who the hell is Blaze?"

Frogadier (Geo): "Blaze is a Wild Lucario. He's Brittany's ex-boyfriend...Well, it's complicated."

Braixen (Brittany): "He's also a dumbass who forced me to date him, even though I don't even know him!"

Monferno (Stella): "When have you met him, Brittany? I don't understand why..."

Braixen (Brittany): "I met Blaze as I battled from another trainer. He saved my life but asks Elizabeth a favor to catch him as his trainer. I don't know why will he say that, but she says she already has one which was Blu. He got so upset that he had to stalk me every day."

Dewott (Randy): "What a creep."

Frogadier (Geo): "And get this, when I was a picnic with her, Blaze appeared out of nowhere and Brittany went behind me. And you know what that asshole say?"

Quilladin (Finn): "What did he say to you?"

"He just yelling at me saying: "Hey, I'm talking to you, Frog! Who the hell are you?!" He is very angry and annoyed that I have hit him with Water Pulse so he can crash on the tree."

Monferno (Stella): "You're really are a gentleman, Geo. I'm proud!"

Dewott (Randy): "About the picnic, what were you two doing?"

Braixen (Brittany): *Blushes* "Well, I..."

Frogadier (Geo): *Blushes* "We just... *Sigh* Finn, you already knew, just tell him what you know."

Quilladin (Finn): "Okay, Randy and Stella. I know this sounds crazy and all, but I walk outside in the forest as I heard something crashing so I walked up there to investigate. As I got there, I saw Geo and Brittany, kissing each other!"

Dowett and Monferno (Randy and Stella): "No way!"

Quilladin (Finn): "Yes way! For the moment I saw it, I realized that they are actually dating! I was so happy for them that my heart was pounding so fast!"

        Geo and I were covering our faces because both faces were heating up faster. Darwin saw us, having a great time and laughing. Elizabeth did the same thing as Darwin, they were able to get a good look at us having a friendship, even though I have a special relationship with Geo. Geo and I give a smirk look at Finn, and he has no idea what I was thinking of.

Quilladin (Finn): *Getting nervous* "What was that look?"

Braixen (Brittany): "You know, you could tell her your feelings?"

Quilladin (Finn): *Blushes* "What? I'm not sure if I should be able to do that. I'm not even ready for this."

Frogadier (Geo): "Don't be such a wimp! You did this to me, so you have to go and talk to her."

Quilladin (Finn): *Blushes* "Fine...But not right now because it's literally getting dark outside."

      Everyone has finished our meals and pay for them. We all headed to our tents and headed to bed. Morning came along, we gather our stuff and continue with our journey. As walked into Menhir Trail, Elizabeth found herself people surrounding the area.

Elizabeth POV:

Darwin and the others were helping me out, of course, getting our Pokemon trained well. But as we kept walking, I was approached by the dude, wearing a red suit with a glass of shades. The good thing is I stopped him from a battle. Tony ran to check if I was fine, but I told them I was okay and explained what happened. As I finished explaining to Tony, he was shocked.

Tony: *Shocked* "Really? You saw one of them?"

Elizabeth: *Confused* "Yeah...What do you mean by "One of them?"

Tony: "Oh God...Liz, let me explain. The guy you battled with was one of the grunts from Team Flare."

Elizabeth: "What?! I couldn't have told me and the others as you came back from the gym!"

Tony: "I'm sorry...I just don't want you to get hurt or something bad happened to you."

Elizabeth: "We'll talk about this once we arrived at Geosenge Town."

Tony: "Okay, sis."

I can't believe that my brother would keep a secret from his own sister. But I let my anger in, so I won't have any problems.

Arriving at Geosenge Town...

I have Darwin so Tony can talk to both of us about how he knows about Team Flare. I hope he has a good explanation of all this. As Darwin and I go up to Tony, we eventually noticed Amy and Victor were standing with Tony. Apparently, they know what's happening with this situation that I don't understand. I looked around for any suspicious things going on in town, as I mentioned a Wild Lucario, looked right me for my attention. Now, I have two things to deal with, one is a Wild Lucario, and the other is Team Flare.

Elizabeth doesn't know what's the meaning of this, She even notices that a Wild Lucario was following wherever she goes. Will this Lucario stop giving up? Who is this "Team Flare?"
