3rd Person P.O.V.

Both Popplio and Chairo arrived at school and they went off to meet with their respective group. When Popplio found her group standing near the lockers, she notices that her friends were laughing about something while looking at their phone.

Popplio: "Hey there guys!"

Rowlet: "Oh! Popplio! Glad you can make it in time!"

Popplio: "What's with you guys? What's so funny?"

Comfey: *Giggles* "We were actually looking at this!"

Comfey showed Popplio what's on her phone, it was actually the online survey that Incineroar made this morning and they were looking at the picture of Popplio sleeping with Chairo.

Popplio: *Blushes* "Wh-What the?! How did you find that?!"

Pikachu: "Well, we did follow Incineroar's social media account so that's how we found this survey."

Popplio: *Grits her teeth* "I'm going to kill him..."

Hyde: "If I have to be honest? You and Chairo looked perfect."

Fennekin: "Yes! You two are like match from heaven!"

Comfey: "I totally ship it! No doubt!"

Popplio: *Blushes madly and hides her face*

Rowlet: "So you really do like Chairo aren't you?!"

Popplio: "Sh-Shut it!! It's not like what you guys think!"

Pikachu: "Yeah right."

Popplio: "Look, I-I have to head to class, I'll see you guys later..."

Comfey: "The Cheslio ship will sail! 100%!"

Popplio: *Groans* "Damn it..."

It took a while, but Chairo manages to find his group hanging around near the restroom while they were laughing about something on their phone before he walk up towards them.

Snivy: "Hey Chairo! We've been waiting for you!"

Chairo: "...?" *Tilts his head*

Zorua: "We want some explanation from you. Do you know anything about this?"

Zorua showed his phone to Chairo, he was shocked to see it was the picture of him sleeping with Popplio, he quickly realized that it was from the online survey that Incineroar made this morning.

Chairo: *Blushes madly*

Tuki: "We found this picture from a survey online, is it true that you and Popplio are..."

Chairo: *Looks away while blushing*

Shinx: "Aww~ You like Popplio, don't you?"

Chairo: *Shakes his head*

Snivy: "I'm shipping it, no second chances."

Shinx: "I ship it too!"

Chairo: *Groans and walks passed them*

Tuki: "Aww~ He's flustered."

Zorua: "Seems like it."

Popplio's P.O.V.

It's finally lunch time, but I decide not to eat with everyone else at the cafeteria because the words are spreading wide about that photo of me and Chairo sleeping together. I swear if I see Incineroar again... I was sitting under the tree outside while eating my lunch all by myself.

Popplio: *Groans* "Why is it always me when someone tries to ship someone? This is outrageous..."

???: "Indeed it was."

I was startled by the voice as I look around and saw it was Chairo who was talking to me and he was sitting on one of the branches on the tree.

Popplio: "Oh, it's you. What are you doing here?"

Chairo: "Hiding, since the words are spreading wide, aren't they?"

Popplio: *Groans* "Yeah, it's very frustrating! I swear I have a bone to pick with Incineroar!"

Chairo: "Enough, Popplio. I too am angry at Incineroar, but that won't erase what has been done."

Popplio: "You're right, but then-"

Chairo: *Jumps in front of her* "Nevermind that, you did tell me that you wanted to learn how to walk on walls, right?"

Popplio: "Well, yes." *Stands up*

Chairo: "Alright, first things first. In order to do this, you must let go of the power you have down to your feet, like this."

Chairo bring his two fingers up while closing his eyes before his feet started glowing, showing that he is letting go of his power towards his feet.

Popplio: "Oooh!"

Chairo: "But there is a catch. You have to control the release of your power so that you won't use up a lot of power."

He closes his eyes again before the glow on his feet starts to fade a little bit.

Chairo: "Alright, once you're done releasing and controlling your power under your feet, you're good to go!"

Chairo starts running towards the tree before he starts running on the side of the tree then under the branch without falling before he jumps down while doing a flip then lands down safely.

Popplio: "Whoa!" *Claps*

Chairo: "Alright, now it's your turn to give it a go!"

Popplio: "Alright, well... here goes."

I close my eyes and start trying to release my power towards my feet. I could feel my feet is getting warm so I open my eyes and saw my feet is glowing.

Popplio: "Hey! I did it!"

Chairo: "Good, now focus and try to control the release of your power under your feet."

Popplio: "Oh boy... I wonder if I could do it..."

I close my eyes again as I try to focus on controlling my power release, but somehow I feel unease and kind of nervous to the point that I can't stop releasing my power under my feet.

Popplio: "Unggh..."

Chairo: "..."

I felt my body start to get weaker and I feel even more nervous but then a gentle poke on my forehead. Chairo was doing the forehead poke on me again, this somehow calms me down as I able to focus on controlling the power release under my feet.

Popplio: "I... I did it... I finally did it!!"

Chairo: "Great job Popplio, you can control the release. Now let's put that skill to test."

Popplio: "I've been dreaming on doing this for years. Now it's time for me to make my dream come true!"

I started running towards the tree while screaming in happiness and I actually managed to walk on the tree and I was able to stand upside down under the branch.

Popplio: *Gasp* "I-I did it!! Alright!!"

Chairo: "Yay!! You go Popplio!"

I was getting to excited that I suddenly let my foot off from the branch and I started losing balance before falling towards the ground.

Popplio: "AAAAHHH!!"

Chairo: "Popplio!!"

Chairo quickly run towards where I'm going to fall before he caught me onto his arms and I then hugged his neck while shivering in fear.

Chairo: "You okay Popplio?! Popplio!"

Popplio: *Shivers* "Th-That was too high..."

Chairo: *Sigh* "This is why you have to always stick your feet down so that you won't lose balance, good thing I was quick enough to catch you."

Popplio: *Look into his eyes* "Th-Thanks... Chairo..."

Chairo: *Giggles* "No problem."

???: "Uhh..."

The two of us looked forward and to our shock Litten's group was standing in front of us without us knowing which made the two of us blushes out of embarrassment.

Mimikyu: "..."

Braixen: "..."

Dewott: "..."

Brionne: "..."

Litten: "...Are you two-"

Chairo: *Blushes madly* "N-No!! Litten, wait!!! Th-This is not what it looks like!!"

Popplio: *Blushes madly* "Uhh!! I-I!! Gaaah!!"

Out of reflex, I suddenly punch Chairo's face which made him let go of me as we both fell on the ground but I quickly stood up while blushing.

Popplio: "Ch-Chairo you idiot!!" *Runs off*

Litten: "Popplio wait!! Ugh... she's gone."

Dewott: *Walks to Chairo* "Hey dude? You okay man?"

Chairo: *Starts to get dizzy by the punch before fainting*

Braixen: "It doesn't seem like he's okay."

Mimikyu: "Did... Did Popplio somehow made Chairo able to speak up again?"

Brionne: "If that so... could it be... Incineroar's survey could be-"

Litten: *Sternly* "No, it can't be real."

Brionne: "Huh?"

Litten: "It's just a coincidence, there's no way it's real that they love each other."

Dewott: "But... what if it's real?"

Litten: "... Shut your mouth, Dewott."

Dewott: "Ouch, rude."

Litten: "I'm going to follow after her; you guys should bring Chairo to the Nurse Chansey."

Braixen: "Roger that."

Brionne: "Can I come with you, Litten?"

Litten: "... No, you should help bringing Chairo to get himself healed. This is a talk between the two of us only."

Brionne: "Alright, good luck." *Kisses his cheek*

Litten: *Blushes and smiles* "Thanks Brionne." *Runs off*
