Okay so after leaving the group chat and ditching Sun, Lillie, Gladion and I began to make our way to the beach where we would hopefully find the others.

'I kinda feel bad about leaving Sun like that... wasn't it a bit harsh?' Lillie asked innocently, holding her hands behind her back as she walked.

'Nah, he'll be fine. He's a big boy.' I joked as I stretched my arms above my head, before letting out a tiny yawn.

'He is the champion.' Gladion added.

'True...' Lillie sighed. 'So did you really only get malasadas for Megan? Because that's both sweet and mean.'

The boy snorted. 'Nope. I bought two bags of those things.'

Lillie and I stopped walking, signalling him to stop too and look at us. We stared at him, our facial expression between shock and irritation. Actually mine was just confusion.

'Then why did you upset Hau and let Sun buy him more?!' his sister squeaked angrily. He just shrugged.

'Two minutes of entertainment.'

...

...

...

'It was kinda funny...'

'Megan!'

'What? It was!'

'What you consider to be funny is different from me in many ways!'

I rolled my eyes before walking over to my boyfriend's side 'whatever, I still got malasadas out of it so I'm not bothered.'

Lillie grumbled. 'You really are perfect for my brother...'

'What was that?'

'I said you're just as rude as my brother!' she said loudly in a panicked tone, earning the attention of a few passerbys. She placed a hand over her mouth and blushed, making Gladion and I sigh.

'Good to have her back...' he chuckled.

As we continued down the concrete path we finally found ourselves at the beach. We also found Rose, Hau, Guzma and Lizzy who were setting up.

'Oh hey!' Lizzy called us over as soon as she saw us. 'Wow you really did leave Sun.'

We shrugged as we made our way to them, before beginning to help them with the supplies. As soon as we finished, which was fifteen minutes after, Sun met up with us with a bag of Malasadas. He was pretty ticked off at the fact Gladion had bought enough for everyone, which resulted in another argument. Ugh! Men!

'You done yet?!' I yelled to the boys, who were now panting from chasing each other all over the beach.

'I... Guess... So...' Sun breathed out, hunched over. 'I mean... that chase... kinda took away... my... anger...'

'They are such kids...' Lillie shook her head, while laying out a towel.

'He's your brother.' I pointed out.

'He's your boyfriend!' She shot back.

Gladion and Sun trudged back to us, shooting glances at each other as they went until they sat on the towels furthest away from each other. Gladion's was next to mine. Yay!

'So, what are we going to do first?' Hau asked, sounding pretty eager. Then again he's always eager. Because... well... it's Hau.

'How about we go for a swim? We can let out our water type Pokemon too!' Lillie suggested, grinning.

'I'm down.' Lizzy agreed, after finishing applying sunscreen to her arms. She was so excited she literally ripped off her clothes as soon as we set things up, but luckily she had her swimsuit underneath. 'Really could use a good swim.'

'Uhm...' I pointed to her mask. 'With that on?'

I know how sensitive she gets whenever I bring it up, so I try not to. But I really am curious to what's under it. Also I figured she didn't really want it to get wet.

She frowned at me 'Yes. You got a problem?'

I shook my head violently and threw my hands up in defense 'No! No, none at all!'

She eyed me for a moment before shrugging it off and standing up. Then she began running to the ocean, yelling: 'Last one in's a rotten Trubbish!'

'OH, HELL NO!' Rose and Guzma shrieked as they teared off their clothes, revealing their swimsuits, and dashed off after her. They were then followed by Lillie, Hau and Sun, leaving Gladion and I in the dust. Gladion sighed, slowly taking off his hoodie so he was only wearing his black and red swim trunks before turning to me.

'You coming?' He asked.

I fidgeted in my spot slightly as I looked to the side and placed a hand on my scarred neck. 'Um... I don't know...'

The blonde sighed as he walked up to me and cupped my chin between his thumb and index, making me look up at him. 'Megan, you'll be fine. There aren't a lot of people here anyway, so I doubt they'll see them. Besides, you'll be in the water so it'll be kinda hard to spot. Don't let it ruin your fun, okay?'

I nodded. 'Okay...'

'Good.' He lightly pecked my cheek 'Now hurry and get those clothes off so we can join the others.' And with that he ran off after the others 'Oh by the way, you're the rotten Trubbish!'

My eyes widened 'Son of a- OKAY THAT'S IT! GLADION AETHER YOU WILL DIE BY MY HANDS!' I ripped my clothes off my body so I was only wearing the swimsuit I bought earlier, before chasing after my soon-to-be dead boyfriend. We sprinted into the water, pushing and shoving in the process, until I was finally able to push him into the water. 'HA! Payback!'

He slowly rose to his feet, pushing his now wet hair out of his eyes. 'Oh-ho-ho... Now you're gonna get it...' He growled as his lips formed a smirk.

'Oh no...' I gulped, backing away slowly with a nervous smile on my face. 'Gladion, babe, let's talk about this! I was only playing and-'

'Too late!'

He dashed towards me with great speed, causing me to scream before stumbling and running away. This was possible because we were only in the shallow part of the ocean. I was pretty fast despite my shortness, but Gladion was faster. He was on my tail, slowly gaining on me as I grew tired. Damn me and my lack of exercise! You'd think Pokemon battles would help my human form's stamina, but NOOOOO!

'Have mercy!' I shrieked, feeling him almost at my heels. I heard him let out a small, deep chuckle.

'Mercy? Never heard of the word.' Quickly he grabbed me round the waist and lifted me off the ground, before carrying me deeper into the water where the others were playing. Despite my thrashing about he kept a strong hold on me. How can a boy that skinny be so strong?! Or am I just weak? It could even be both?! I don't know!

'GLADIOOOON! LET GOOOO!' I whined while continuing my attempt to wriggle out of his grasp. Which failed... Of course.

'Hmm. Tempting, but nah.'

'You're a jerk!'

He chuckled. 'Yea, I know. How on earth did you fall in love with me?'

I snorted. 'Because you're cute to look at, despite your frenchfry hair.' This made him scoff.

'Okay just for that comment I'm definitely going through with this!'

'WHAT?! NO!'

'Revenge is a gift best served cold, my dear.'

This is not gonna end well for me... is it?

'Hey look!' Hau yelled, pointing at us with a huge grin on his face. 'Gladion's gonna do a thing!'

Shut up, Hau!

Everyone turned to look and soon smirked at the sight. They even went as far as to cheer Gladion on, saying crap like 'Do it!' and 'Come on Gladion!' which did not help my situation. I gulped as I felt Gladion lift my higher into the air until my back was resting on his palms, as he held me high above his head.

'OH NO NO NO!' I screamed as I flailed my arms around. 'DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!'

'I'm thinking about it~' He cooed.

'DON'T!'

'I'm gonna do it~'

His arms below me tensed even further, telling me he was about to throw me into the sea. By now I was really panicking. 'GLADION, NO- AH SHI-!' I felt myself get flung into the air for a moment, before plunging into the deep blue water with a large splash. My body instinctively scrunched up into a ball with my eyes squeezed shut, until my feet touched the ground after three seconds. I gently pushed myself up to the surface and my head poked out of the water without much effort. My now wet hair covered my entire face as I crossed my arms in irritation. 'Thanks for that...' I huffed, spitting my hair out of my mouth. Hau's laugh was the first to be heard, then Rose's, Then Lillie's, Then Sun's, Then Guzma's, Then Lizzy's, and finally the man who accomplished the deed.

'Stop laughing.' I grumbled with my hair still in my face. I assumed I looked kinda like Cousin It from Adam's Family. As soon as the laughter died down I felt two hands pull my locks away, before cupping my face. My eyes fluttered open to reveal it was Gladion, who was smiling down at me.

'Didn't I tell you you'd have fun?'

My lips curled upwards forming a smile as I giggled softly. 'Yea,you did!'

After that little stunt, we all continued playing together with our water Pokemon. It lasted for a good hour until we got tired and we decided it was time to dry off and eat lunch. As soon as we made it back to our stuff everyone except Lillie, Lizzy and I dove for the towels. Why? Because we were still busy squeezing salt water out of our long hair. I shook my head to get what little droplets I could out of my hair before reaching for my towel, but was cut off as a scream was heard to the right of me. I quickly turned to look, only to be greeted by a six year old child a few metres away. He stared at me in total horror, more specifically my scar, as his mouth hung wide open. A woman, presumingly his mother, rushed over to him and lead him away. But, not before sending me a hateful glare and growling at me 'Why can't you freaks just learn to stay inside?!'

Lizzy was the first to rush to my aid, wrapping a towel around me so the scar was mostly hidden. It covered the part that ran from my thigh to my shoulder, but my neck and face still showed. She stood in front of me and held my shoulders. 'Megan? Are you okay?'

I stared down at my feet as a shadow covered my eyes like a blanket. 'She's right you know, I am a freak...'

'You are not a freak! Do not listen to that bullcrap!'

I looked up at her, and whispered 'Then why do I feel it?'

She didn't know how to answer and stared at me for a moment. 'I- You sho-'

'I never should've come here.' I said sternly, pushing her hands off my shoulders. 'All I do is scare people.' I began walking away from the group, but was stopped as a hand grabbed my wrist.

'Megan, wait. You shouldn't-' Gladion was cut off as an irritated groan left my mouth. I sent him a harsh glare which made him freeze.

'What? I shouldn't let their words get to me? That's all I ever hear anymore!' I ripped my hand out of his grasp 'I'm sick of it!'

I left them frozen and shocked at my outburst as I once again called out Draco, and told him to fly me to Aether Paradise. Home.
