Countess Azumi Towers, Lumiose City, Kalos. July 1st.
"That was a nice battle, huh Nana?"
The blonde academy student patted the Gardevoir softly on the head while the Pokemon reacted by hanging on to her trainer's hand, not wanting the patting to stop. Azumi kept the pats going as her Rotom Phone emerged from her pocket and hovered over the psychic fairy.
"Bzzzt- Ring Ring -Bzzzt"
Azumi lifted one eyebrow at the phone and laughed, "What are you waiting for, answer the call!"
The light blue phone buzzed once more as the video call began. On the screen there was a face identical to Azumi's but with a mischievous smile. It was her twin sister and like always, she was probably calling to report on her latest achievements or gossip.
"Hey Ma-" Azumi began, but was quickly interrupt by her sisters loud voice.
"Guess what?! I met this guy yesterday. Challenged me to a battle, but Charo De-Stroyed him. He never stood a chance, I mean he used a bug Pokemon? Against a fire master. Can you believe that? Anyways I thought he was cute and he kept stealing glances at him while we battled and you know I look really good when battling. So, I don't blame him. After beating him, he asked for my number and I was like 'wtf this guy' but I gave it to him and he just called to ask me out! But, idk, should I go out with someone weaker than me?"
Azumi pressed her lips together while her sister kept on talking, as soon as she opened her mouth to reply, Maker was on a rant again.
"Hey by the way, did you hear? You probably did, but still. Ron was arrested. I didn't believe it at first but I recognize that silly mug anywhere. Dad called right away but it seems they let him out pretty quickly. Have you talked to him? I haven't in a while, but you know how he is. Nice to see he's alive though. Anyways, what are you up to? Finally got a date?" The twin sister wiggled her eyebrows playfully, waiting for her sister's reaction.
Azumi shook her head, Ron's news and then the sudden question was a quick rollercoaster of emotions. "Um, no. I'm trying to decide what to do after the academy. It's a lot of work, I don't have time for dates. That's more your area anyways. Just do me a favor, don't date anymore criminals."
"Not my fault they're cute! Besides it only happened three times and that last one had been clean for like, four months, made him a bit boring actually, specially when he started talking about going church and youth groups, blergh. I have to go sis, gotta get ready for my date, say hi to Nana for me!" Maker waved goodbye as the screen went blank and the phone returned to Azumi's pocket.
Nana smiled and waved, finally letting go of her trainer's hand. Azumi sighed, she could run a marathon but one conversation with her sister seemed to drain her energy. "Come on Nana, let's go get lunch. I need to look up what Ron got himself into." She grabbed the Gardevoir's hand, who was giving her a confused look, "Don't worry I'm not going to call him. I just want to make sure he isn't doing something stupid."
The two walked away from what was left of the street battle they had just witnessed, going for the nearest cafe to get some lunch before heading out.
