I touched his cheek and smiled Ryu smiled softly.

: what do you want to do babe?"

Ryu: relax with you"

Eevee and Hope jumped on the couch near us and gently cuddles us. I gently rubbed Hope's nose with mine. Ryu chuckled softly. The next day we made it to Circhester city. I was shaking from the cold. Ryu hugged me, I gently laid my head on his chest.

Ryu: Phe, I promise after we get done here we will go back to Hammerlock"

I smiled softly. We went to the gym and I started warming up, Ryu stayed near my side until I warmed up. Ryu smiled and gently kissed my forehead. Ryu went over to the gym worker. I sent out Hope and gently hugged her. Hope smiled and stayed close to me.

I went up three, left three after beating the challenge I walked into the stadium and saw Goldie walking towards me. I healed my team and started battling Goldie. Goldie flipped his hair and smiled. I was thinking about Phe, I sent out Cinderace. Goldie sent out Barbaracle. I formed a fist with my hand, Drago, Phe this battle is for you!

Goldie: Coalossal use Max Flare!"

: Unfezant dodge it and use Max Airstream! "

Coalossal's Hp went down to yellow. One more attack should do it. I closed my eyes and thought of the two people who believe in me Phe my loving girlfriend and Drago my best friend. I opened my eyes and smiled

Goldie: Coalossal use max rockfall!"

Unfezant's Hp went down to yellow.

: Unfezant use Max Airstream!"

Coalossal fainted. YES! I beat Goldie. Goldie and me returned our Pokemon to their Pokeballs. I walked over to Goldie and smiled.

Goldie: you were not just battling me to prove another how strong you are, you were thinking of people to battling for, I'm right?"

: yes, my loving girlfriend and best friend"

Goldie: they are lucky to have someone like you in their life"

Goldie handed me the badge 5 minutes later I walked out of the uniform and went over to Phe. she was hugging her Pokemon. I chuckled softly and gently kissed her forehead.

: it's your turn babe"

Phe returned her Pokemon to their Pokeball and gently kissed my cheek. She walked over to the gym worker. 1 hour later Phe walked out, I stand and got tackled in a hug by Phe. I hugged her back

: how did you do babe?"

Phe: I won"

I kissed her. Phe kissed me back. We went outside and I saw a familiar face.

: Drago?!"

Drago: hey you two"

Both me and Phe ran over to Drago. We hugged him, Drago hugged us back

Drago: so, how is the gym challenge?"

: we are on the 7th gym now"

I pulled out my Roto phone and got a flying taxi to pick us up and take us back to Hammerlock. We went to a cafe and started talking. I saw a mossy rock in the corner of my eye. I walked over to the mossy rock and let Eevee out. Eevee started to glow. Yes, she is evolving. Eevee turned into Leafeon. Leafeon looked at me and jumped in my arms. I hugged Leafeon, I went over to Phe ad Drago.

Drago: hey, Eevee evolved"

: yep"

We went back to the house.

Drago: anything happen since I left?"

: yes, me and Phe started dating"

Drago: I knew you two would get together"

I smiled, Phe gently placed her head on my lap, I gently rubbed her head.

: how are you feeling Phe?"

Phe: still a little cold*Drago covered Phe up with a blanket* thank you, Drago"

Drago: you're welcome. get some rest, the next gym is in Spikemuth it's a dark gym"

: how did you know?"

Drago's POV

: I'm no longer in the challenge. I know where and who the gyms are"

Ryu: will you still come with us?"

: of course, we are a team"

Ryu: yes we are"

I looked at Phe and saw she was sleeping in Ryu's lap. I smiled softly, Phe you are like a sister to me. Ryu gently moved Phe and got up from the couch. Ryu picked Phe up in his arms. I fixed the blanket and went to my room. I let my Pokemon out. Stufful jumped in my bed and laid down. I gently patted Stufful's head. The next day I went downstairs and saw Ryu cooking.

: morning Ryu"

Ryu: morning Drago"

: where is Phe?"

Ryu: still in bed. She had a nightmare last night"

: did she have any before?"

Ryu: one, we talked about the last one, I don't know what is causing the nightmares"

: *whispers* Inkay"

Ryu:* looked at me* what did you say?"

: Inkay, there is a hidden power of Inkays no one knows about, it's called Night scare aka Nightmares. My father had an Inkay on his team and he started having nightmares. Since Phe had been attacked by a malamar, her nightmare are strong and feel real to herm, there only one way to stop it, to stop the nightmare Phe needs to face her fear. That needs in the next battle she needs to battle a Malamar or release inkay from her team"

Ryu: I want Phe to be safe"

: so do I but to do that she needs to make a choice"

Phe: morning Drago, babe"

Ryu: morning beautiful"

Phe walked over to Ryu and gently kissed his cheek.

: Phe can I talk to you alone?"

Phe: sure.."

We went to the living room.

: Phe, I know you have a fear of Malamars, listen to me the reason you are having nightmares that feels so real and pain is Inkay. There is a way to stop the nightmares. Either you face your fear or you release Inkay from your team *Phe pulled out a Pokeball and sent out Inkay. I could tell this is not going to be easy for her. Inkay flipped upside down and started to glow. Inkay evolved into Malamar, Ryu quickly reaches for a Pokeball but I stopped him* no let her *Malamar looked at Phe. Phe slowly moved her hand towards Malamar. I could tell Ryu is not happy about this. Phe touched Malamar's head. She did it* Phe you faced your fear"

Ryu walked over to me and hugged her. Phe started to cry. Ryu gently rubbed her back.

Ryu: shh it's okay babe, I'm here* Phe looked at Ryu* it's okay, I promise you that everything is okay* Ryu gently kissed Phe's head* it's your choice if you keep Malamar on your team or place it in a box*Phe did not say anything just placed her head on Ryu's chest. I guess she is still upset from the history. Ryu gently rubbed Phe's back* Drago can you go get something from the cafe"

: sure"

Ryu's POV

Drago left to go to the cafe. I looked at Phe. she was still shaking, I gently moved my head down to her neck and kissed it. I heard a moan coming from Phe. I moved away from her neck and kissed her. Phe kissed me back.

: have you picked what you are going to do babe?"

Phe: I want to keep Malamar on my team *Hope came out of her Pokeball and started to talk to Malamar* thank you babe"

: you're welcome babe *Hope walked over to us and gently grabbed Phe's leg. Phe gently picked Hope up and smiled* how do you feel babe?"

Phe: better knowing that I face my fear, I love you Ryu"

: I love you too Phe"

Drago: I'm back"

The next day

We were heading to Spikemuth. I saw a girl standing near. She looked at me, Phe and Drago.

??: only people on the gym challenge are allowed to go"

Drago: that would be Phe and Ryu"

??: only one at a time"

Phe: I will go first"

Phe followed the girl in Spikemuth. Babe, please be safe.

Phe's POV

??: my name is Marnie, you are?"

: Phe"

Marnie: there is another person in here that you are going to meet before you face the gym leader *We walked into the Pokemon center* Hop, we have a challenger"

Hop: Cool, what's your name?"

: Phe"

Hop: hi, I'm Hop Leon younger brother"

: nice to meet you Hop"

Hop: the same to you"

Marnie: Phe get behind the counter!"

I walked over to the counter and hide. I heard footsteps coming in the Pokemon Center. There was a small hole I could see out of. I looked in the hole and saw Hop and Marina send out a Pokemon. Dubwool, Morpeko. I felt my heart race. Ryu, Drago! Please be ok

??: move out of the way!"

Marnie: never!"

I heard movement coming towards me. I looked at saw a Pokemon I never have seen before. The Pokemon walked over to a small door. I went over to the door and escape the Pokemon Center. The Pokemon walked over to a police officer. I looked up and saw it was a friend of my mom's.

: Officer Alice!"

Alice: come here Phe *I hugged Alice and started crying. Alice gently rubbed my back* Phe what's wrong?"

: m... My boyfriend and b...best friend are g...gone... it's all my fault *Alice kept rubbing my back, my voice was breaking up. We went to her car. I sat in the passenger seat. She was looking for any clues about what happened to Ryu and Drago. The Pokemon was sitting on my lap. Alice walked back to the car* did you find anything?"

Alice: we found this"

Alice showed me a Pokeball. I touched the button and Leafeon came out. This is Ryu's Leafeon... I gently hugged Leafeon.

Meanwhile with Ryu and Drago

Ryu's POV

I woke up and felt someone touching my back. I tried to move but I was tied to something or someone.

Drago: Ryu?"

: I'm here... But I don't know where here is"

Drago: wait where is Phe?"

: babe?!"

There was no answer, No! If they hurt her I will hurt them until I get her back, I tried to move my hands

Drago: ouch"

: sorry"

Drago: it's okay"

: we need to get out of here"

Drago: but how?"

I felt something near my hand. I touched the button and Drago's Stufful came out. Stufful undid the ropes and we stood up. I saw a huge blade cut the iron bars. I saw Zacian

: Zacian?!"

Zacian walked over to me and Drago. Suican walked over to me and smiled

Suican:*use telepathy* we need to go now!"

I got on Suican and Drago got on Zacian. After escaping Suican and Zacian took us to the police station. I got off Suican and gently hugged Suican

??: Ryu, Drago?!"

I turned around and saw Phe standing by the door.
