Chapter 21 - Parfum Palace Fireworks and Revelations of the Past - Mystery Behind the Garden Hedges
Although Satoshi has already seen the shadow of his rival Serena, but for some reasons he ended up hanging a bit with his buddy Pikachu within the park before the gate of the Parfum Palace.
Within the park a lady in a green shirt approaches him" So trainer would you like to take these with you?"
" I would love to if its something that would help my pokemon" Satoshi said with a pleasing personality.
" Sure, I'm sure it would help you so why don't you take these with you" she said with a smile.
His pokenav begins to respond" You've received 5 Oran Berries".
" Very well, enjoy those berries" the lady said before leaving them.
" Thanks" Satoshi said after the lady has completely left.
" OK, Let's continue Pikachu" Satoshi said - Pikachu on the other hand nods to its agreement.
As Satoshi and Pikachu continue taking a stroll in the park, they can't help but be mesmerized with the pairs of city lights mostly seen in the park itself adding the greenery surroundings in it.
" Look, Pikachu isn't this view magnificent - We never had these in our hometown not even in our house" Satoshi said with delight pointing on the city lights displayed.
Pikachu only squeaks happily to what his trainer is referring.
Before reaching the gate of the palace where his rival was waiting, he passed by a guy wearing a black coat with green spiky hair.
" Tch ! Are old buildings more important than people who are alive now?" the guy said before completely passing the trainer and Pikachu.
" What's his problem?" Satoshi ask his buddy shrugging his shoulders.
" Pika- pika" Pikachu retorts shrugging its shoulders.
After that they came across a pair of look alike couples - the guy actually had glasses wearing a white vest adding a red scarf on its neck topped with a brown slacks and black shoes and for the girl she was wearing a beige long sleeves with a mini orange skirt and a orange circular hat on its top.
" It looks like couples also try to visit this place but they somehow can't get in" Satoshi sweat-dropped.
Pikachu also sweat-dropped at what Satoshi just said but both of them ended up approaching the pair.
" I wonder how much money it takes to build a palace like that?" the guy said
" I'd love to live in that kind of palace" the girl said.
" Well, I'm pretty sure you love to live on that kind of place; but isn't it very expensive to own a house like that" Satoshi clarified.
" The truth is the palace was said to be owned by a king, no one knows his name since it was a long time ago that the king had passed away" the girl said with a sad smile.
" You might as well check the palace itself although for us , I think it'll be better to stay here" the guy said looking at the palace from the gate they are both standing.
" Oh OK, then I'll be going ahead" Satoshi said waving goodbye to them.
Finally he now makes his way to the gate of the Parfum Palace where his rival is waiting.
Just when he reached the gate of the palace itself, he suddenly heard something about the butler in the gate won't let her pass through.
" I'm sorry, miss - you can't go in if you are just only here for sightseeing" the butler apologized.
" Huh, why isn't the palace used for sightseeing - And I even want to take a glimpse" Serena clarified.
" According to the rules of the palace, if you have no intentions on the palace itself - I might suggest that you leave this place before the guards of the palace catches you" the butler harshly told her.
" Wait, what's going on here" Satoshi interrupted.
" Serena, so its really you" he mutters in shock looking at the honey haired trainer with blue eyes wearing a black blouse in white collar topped with a red skirt together with a pink fedora hat on its top.
" Satoshi" Serena ended up hugging him.
" Wait, what's going on?" Satoshi looks into her eyes patting her gently.
" That guy won't let me in" Serena explained to him as droplets of tears are in her face at the same time.
" I see" he said to her ;" And you dare to make her cry, now I definitely not going to forgive you" Satoshi added with frustration.
" Well you see you can't enter the palace just for sightseeing that was the rule stated here" the butler said.
" Satoshi" Serena whines clinging onto him.
" Its OK, Just leave this to me" Satoshi reassures her.
" And what if I said that I want to retrieve the Poke- Flute, will you let us in?" Satoshi asked mocking to him and letting go of his hug on Serena as well.
" Oh this one - I think I can let you pass with this reason" the butler said with a smile.
" But first you must pay the entrance fee before you can go in" the butler said in a serious state.
" And the entrance fee will be subtracted half of the money you received" he added.
" What? You've got to be kidding. It even cost money to go inside" Satoshi petrified.
" You see the owner of the palace follows the school of thought that you can never have too much money" the butler inquired.
" Ugh, but this is the only way how we get richer" Serena sighed.
" Its very easy right, if you don't surrender the entrance fee. Why don't you leave?" the butler glared at them.
" OK fine, its not that we can do anything about it right - Very well we'll just surrender the entrance fee" Satoshi said with confidence.
" What, are you serious about this?" Serena asked in shock.
" Serena, we can't do anything about it - we're not the one who owns this kind of estate or building, we have to follow on what the people in this area said" Satoshi clarified tapping on her shoulders.
Serena ended up silently nodding and follow Satoshi's intentions.
" OK, we have decided - we are going in that palace" Satoshi told the butler with pure confidence,
" Very well, surrender your entrance fee and I'll let you in" the butler said.
" Ugh, 505020 euros left" Satoshi sighed.
" What about me , I only had 230450 euros left" Serena whines.
" Well that's too bad for you" Satoshi sweat-dropped.
Pikachu mimics Satoshi's reactions as a result.
" The proceeds from the entrance fee help pay for repairing and restoring the palace probably" the butler noted.
" Ah so that was the reason why they are accepting the entrance fee - people here tend to be smart" Satoshi murmurs to himself.
" Now you can pass the gate" the butler said
" Wait, isn't that Jalorda?" Satoshi asked to himself after seeing the pokemon carved on the gates.
" Huh, Satoshi are you saying something?" Serena asked him.
" No, I must be only seeing things" he said scratching his head.
" But wait, I think it really looks like one" he thought to himself with the pokemon he speculate on his mind.
Apparently the gate now starts to open, Satoshi and Serena glances one last look on the coffee color gates before completely passing the gate as for the butler he didn't mind since he was only there to guard and observe.
Upon passing the gate, the two of them ended up glimmering a lot from what they saw so far - diamond and square tiles as floor mat before the door to the palace adding the stony bricks covering the outside.
" Even the exteriors are very nice to begin with" Satoshi said shimmering in his eyes.
" You're right, who wouldn't want to live in a place like this" Serena said with gleaming eyes looking at the majestic coffee doors adding the light blue window panels on every part of the palace.
" So shall we continue" Satoshi asked her.
" Of course, I definitely want to see more of this" Serena said dazzling with her eyes.
A little while later, both of them stand on the door of the palace slowly opening up.
Satoshi and Serena passed the door.
" Wow, that's a Mirokarosu" Satoshi said after seeing a golden statue of the pokemon he is stating.
" You know that pokemon?" Serena asked him.
" Of course, I traveled through Hoenn when I was on my journey with my friend Haruka and her little brother Masato together with my old buddy Takeshi - I saw this pokemon with my own eyes" Satoshi clarified.
" Good for you, you already had a lot of friends traveling with you- Me, I'm just starting my journey and I haven't even encounter new friends" Serena said with a sad smile.
" Don't worry, I'm sure you will get to meet friends that will help you along the way, I'm pretty sure of it" Satoshi assures her.
" You're right, I guess it takes time to do so" Serena added.
Not that long, A girl in a yellow shirt with a red skirt with a circular hat was actually saying something.
" Huh, what's going on?" Satoshi said after seeing a girl uttering something.
" Let's go take a look" Serena said.
Satoshi nods as both of them continue to the place where the girl is telling something.
" Where is it?"
" Where did it go?
" Where could it be?"
" My Torimian" the girl shrieked.
" My beloved little Torimian has just disappeared". she screamed.
" It disappeared, but how did it happen?" Serena ask approaching the girl.
" Oh who might you be - sorry for showing a bad part of mine" the girl said.
"Non no - it's fine. I'm Satoshi and this is my buddy Pikachu" he introduces himself.
" I'm Serena, both of use we're actually trainers to begin with" Serena told her.
" Oh pardon if I forget to introduce myself - I'm Jessica by the way" she introduces herself.
" Jessica, huh - such a nice name you got there" Serena said with a smile.
" By the way, what happened to your Torimian?" Satoshi asked in curiosity.
" Uh well , you see I was planning to brush its hair but it suddenly ran away - although I don't know where it could go since I'm terrible with the surroundings here" Jessica fidgets.
" Hey Serena, what do you say - we help Jessica search her Torimian, I'm sure it wouldn't have gotten that far ". Satoshi told her.
" Great idea, if my pokemon would went missing. I'd be totally sick with worry" Serena added.
" You will , thank you - I know I can count the both of you for this" Jessica said.
" Sure no problem, we would sure help look for your Torimian although do you have an idea where could it have got to if it's inside this palace since I'm not that familiar with the place itself besides its my first time here" Satoshi said scratching his back.
" Oh why don't you try looking the back of the palace - the back of this palace is pretty big to begin with so why don't you go try looking there, not to mention it even has a colossal garden in it" Jessica suggested.
" I'll try look at the back" Serena said with a rushed manner dashing to the back.
" Wait, Ugh - does she really have to be in a hurry for this" Satoshi said scratching his head.
" Well take your time - I'm not in a hurry though, I'll just wait here" Jessica said.
" Oh yeah if could find my Torimian as much as possible, I'll give a surprise to the both of you" Jessica winked.
" Oh what could this surprise be" Satoshi mutters in a very surprised manner.
" Its a secret for now" she said.
" I knew she would say like this" Satoshi sighed ; " Well I'm going at the back of this palace" he told her.
" Oh OK, Good luck" Jessica told him.
" Thanks" he said before completely exiting the palace leading to the back.
The back of the door now starts to open.
Satoshi got trance with the beautiful surroundings inside the palace.
" For times like this, I should probably take some of these pictures with me - I'm definitely going to miss this place when we return home" Satoshi said with sad smile holding a camera on his hands.
" Click" the camera snapped from Satoshi's hands.
" Wait, those are" Satoshi said after taking a snapshot with his camera looking on the statues inscribed within the palace.
" Eievui, Goruugu and Gamagaru" Satoshi said after recognizing the pokemon statues.
" So cool - I never expect to see them here" Satoshi said in a dazzled manner.
" But wait who is that knight carved in the pokemon, maybe a hero of the ancient times" he thought to himself seeing a person in the statue.
" I wish I could turn back time and meet him in person" he ended up sighing to himself.
Pikachu begins to tap on Satoshi's back for a while.
" Huh, what is it - Pikachu?" Satoshi asked his buddy.
" Pika-Pika" it squeaked pointing to the direction of the waterfalls upward in the palace.
" Wow, that's a Miniryu" Satoshi exclaimed after seeing the design of the waterfalls.
" Pika- Pika" it happily squeaked saying something like bingo.
" Never thought that I will see it here" he murmured to himself.
Not long later, he continued down the arch leading to the colossal garden.
" So this is the colossal garden Jessica was talking about, wow so big" Satoshi exclaimed with a camera on his hands.
Just after passing the bridge shaped like an arc, he rushes to the garden but somehow ended up returning a bit from the starting point of the garden.
" Woah! look Pikachu, its Reshiram" Satoshi told his buddy staring at the statue of the pokemon.
Pikachu squeaks in a happy manner after Satoshi's words.
He tries to read the words on the statue" It's a statue of Reshiram, the vast white pokemon, it was said to help those who seek to build a world of truth".
" I'm so glad that I even came here just to take a glimpse of this pokemon, I can't imagine how excited I was having a pokemon like this". Satoshi thought to himself.
" That time with Dento and Iris, even with Victini included - I can't believe how happy I was to obtain some cool pokemon like that" he reminisces his time during the Unova region.
" But if Reshiram is here then I think we will also see Zekrom" he murmured to himself.
" Click" his camera snapped taking a picture of Reshiram.
" This should be one great picture to remember" Satoshi said looking at the statue Reshiram he just took.
The two of them continued now to the inside of the garden dashing to see other interesting views of the garden itself.
On the end of the straight path ignoring the circular fountain in the middle, they stumble onto a couple dressed like the ones he encountered earlier before the entrance of the gate.
" And it looks like I was right - there is really a Zekrom statue standing in it" Satoshi mutters to himself.
He ended up approaching the Zekrom statue with the two couples looking in it.
The boy approaches him" The Kalos region and the Unova region must have been in contact with each other".
" No wonder they are so attached when I saw them in the map" Satoshi thought to himself.
" The pokemon statue near the entrance is Reshiram and this statue is Zekrom. They're both legendary pokemon of the Unova region" the girl added.
" I know because I had seen the both of them and I had already been through the Unova region" Satoshi clarified.
" By the way, are you guys tourist perhaps?" he asked the both of them.
" Oh I'm glad you've noticed that, yes we are that is why we have a bit of knowledge about the legendary pokemon that resides in the Unova region" the girl said.
" So you've been through all the regions?" he asked the both of them.
"We'll we ended up touring the Unova region only for some reasons" the boy replied with a sad expression.
" Oh that's too bad then" Satoshi retorts with a sad smile.
" Anyway, I need to get going" Satoshi said to the couple.
Continued to look on the Zekrom statue, he reads the words inscribed in it" It's a statue of Zekrom, the deep black pokemon - It is said to assist those who seek to make an ideal world".
" So I guess Zekrom is the evil one, I don't want to be reminded of that Kyurem" he thought to himself.
He ended up reminiscing Kyurem's fiery personality when he encounters it during his trip in Unova.
" I guess I don't want to really be reminded of that one again" Satoshi sighed.
" Click" his camera snapped at the Zekrom statue taking a snapshot of it.
" When I get home, these pictures might probably the first I will put in my room" Satoshi thought to himself looking at the statue of Reshiram and Zekrom pictures he had taken.
" Oh no, I totally forgot - I was so engrossed with the pokemon statues that I even forget what I was suppose to do here" Satoshi yelped.
" I was suppose to be helping Jessica with her Torimian" he shrieked.
" Quick, Pikachu we must find her Torimian before we might not know what will happen next" Satoshi orders his buddy.
Pikachu nods and squeaking in agreement ; the two of them are now on their way searching for the lost pokemon.
They ended up searching in the various grass but mostly no signs of a pokemon.
Until sometime later, they apparently reach a grass that looks like a maze full of inverted T's and L's.
To their surprise, a white furry pokemon that looks like a poodle was standing on front of them.
" Wait, is that Torimian?" Satoshi ask unsure of the pokemon.
Apparently Serena was also standing in front of them anxiously with her arms folded.
" Serena, what's going on?" Satoshi mutters in surprise.
" Satoshi, that should be my question - what's going on and where the hell did you went" Serena glares back at him.
" Serena, I'm sorry - I think I was too focused with what i just saw in this garden - I just couldn't stop the excitement flowing on my head" Satoshi apologizes.
" Hah" Serena sighed ; " Well, it can't be helped since you love pokemons after seeing one" she said with a smile.
" Ouaf" Torimian barked then it went away.
" Oh no, it went away because we were talking too much" Satoshi face-palmed.
" I guess its my fault to begin with, if only I hadn't been so engrossed what what i just see - this could never happen" he added with a sad expression.
" Satoshi, don't blame yourself - no one is apparently at fault" Serena assures him.
" Rest assured, we will find that Torimian so you don't need to worry about that" Serena taps on his shoulders.
" Here why don't you lend me a hand on finding the Torimian, what do you say?" Serena extends her hand to him.
" Sure isn't this what friends are for, thanks Serena" Satoshi accepts her hand.
" Let's search it with all our might" Serena ordered him.
" I understand, Serena" he told her; " Pikachu, you should try lending me a hand too" Satoshi orders his pokemon.
Pikachu nods in agreement ; the three of them ended hunting for Torimian.
Not while later, Satoshi and Serena said in unison after seeing the poodle" Torimian".
" Ouaf" Torimian barked as it went away not far from them.
" Satoshi, give me a second" Serena told her rival analyzing a bit of the maze by looking on her poketch.
" Serena, what's that?" Satoshi asked his rival in curiosity.
" Oh this, its a maze of the garden itself, you see if you try to look closely on the garden itself - you might see something mysterious in it but let's skip that for now" Serena explained.
" Now for the maze itself. Ah I got it - Satoshi, why don't we trap Torimian in that corner" Serena told her rival showing the path to be taken.
" Oh I see, good idea - it's a dead end on that corner" Satoshi added after seeing the path needed.
" If we try to trap it there, then there is no way it could escape" Serena said.
" You're right, but first we need someone to stand on the corner to block it from running away" Satoshi said.
" Bingo! why don't you use your Pikachu and me to trapped that Torimian" Serena suggested with a wink.
" Yeah, that sounds like a nice idea" Satoshi retorts back at her.
" First we need to know where the Torimian is running then we try to trap it near the path were it couldn't escape which will eventually leading to a dead end" Serena inquired.
" Sounds easy for you to say but we should do the utmost that we can to trap it by any means" Satoshi added.
" Now, let's get working" Serena orders her rival.
Satoshi, Serena and Pikachu now follows the Torimian although the poodle ended up running away from them.
" Satoshi where should I wait, around this place - will that be fine?" Serena ask.
" Sure no problem" he said ; " Pikachu, you stand on the other side" Satoshi orders his pokemon.
" With Serena blocking the left and Pikachu blocking the right - this Torimian will end up be caught in the corner in no time" Satoshi said with burning eyes.
It took them half an hour just for the Torimian to be trapped in the dead end.
" Phew, well done - we finally caught it" Serena sighed.
" It couldn't have done it without your idea, Serena - thanks for letting my Pikachu assist us" Satoshi said with a cheeky grin.
" No problem we're friends right?" Serena said.
" Yeah, you're right" Satoshi said.
Serena's POV:
Satoshi, today will be the day you will hear everything from me - Just wait for it.
Not while later, a voice was shouting" Torimian".
" Torimian, there you are" the girl shouted hugging its poodle.
" Oh my dear Torimian"
" My beloved Torimian, I'm glad you are safe" she said with a bit of tears on her eyes.
" Was it the two of you who tried to capture Torimian for me?"
" If so I never had thought that you two will be the one responsible for helping me reunite with my Furfrou" Jessica told the both of them
" How wonderful indeed"
" It's marvelous, simply marvelous".
" I guess I really owe the both of you for this" she said with a smile.
" No, its nothing - You know when our pokemons got lost - we'd probably end up searching for it too" Serena elbows on Satoshi.
" She's right expecially when it happens to Pikachu, I can't imagine on how worry I would be" Satoshi added.
" Oh yeah, so what is this secret that you were talking about" Satoshi asked her.
" About that I guess since you two tried finding my Torimian back so it might be best that I'll tell you about it" Jessia said.
" The surprise was actually there would be a fireworks scene to celebrate Parfum Palace's 3000 year anniversary". she clarified.
" Fireworks, such a perfect timing that we got to came here" Serena thought gazing on the fireworks on her fantasy.
"But it will be display at night on the balcony of the palace itself" Jessica noted.
" I see, we'll definitely be looking forward to it" Satoshi exclaimed.
" To tell you the truth - it was really good for a situation like this to demand a fireworks" Jessica said.
" We shall put on a show boom - boom - boom".
" My pokemon and I are reunited".
" Our bond has been proven".
" We'll commemorate this joyous occasion together with that and it will also serve as a reward for the tiny bit of trouble you went to Rendezvous at the balcony".
" Ren-dez-vous".
" You know what I mean right?"
Jessica continues to utter gibberish words as for Satoshi and Serena they continue to hear.
" You can reach the balcony from the hall with the mirrors on the second floor - I expect the both of you to be there at night because it is something that you will never see in other places"Jessica said.
" Now if you'll excuse me for a bit" she said walking away with her Torimian.
" Ouaf" Torimian barked before continuing with Jessica.
" Maybe Torimian would've been better off if we haven't found it" Serena suggested.
" Serena, don't say things like that in case something like that happened to your pokemon, you'd probably feel the same" Satoshi added.
" You're right but if I were a pokemon, maybe I'll try to appreciate it somehow" Serena said.
" But since I really love fireworks so let's try to make the best of it" she said with a big smile.
" Then I'll meet you in the balcony tonight" Satoshi said his last words before continuing himself.
Serena nods and told him" Sure, see you later".
Serena's POV:
I think it's almost time, huh.
She now continues back to the inside of the palace after looking at her wristwatch.
For Satoshi he returned to the entrance behind the door staring at the golden Mirakurosu statue.
" Look, it's really Mirakurosu" Satoshi said still looking at the statue.
He tries to read the words inscribed in the statue" It's a statue of Mirakurosu and it is said to be the world's most beautiful Pokemon".
" Click" his camera snapped taking a picture of the statue.
" OK, we have another photo added to our collection" Satoshi said looking at the picture he just took.
Sometime later, he now continue to the doors of the palace - since it was a huge palace to begin with, having doors in both directions he starts from the left part.
But before entering each door, golden statues were displayed before the doors.
Satoshi mesmerized to the view of the palace itself.
Not much later, he looks at the statue trying to analyze something.
" Isn't that Kirikizan?" Satoshi asked to himself.
He now tries to read the words inscribed in the statue" It's a statue of a Kirikizan general that led a region of Komatana".
" General, so this means there is another region after Kalos?" he asked to himself.
A little while, he stumbled onto a statue of an unknown species.
" Huh and what's this" he asked seeing another golden statue which is still a mystery for now to him.
Satoshi reads the words inscribed in the statue" It's golden statue of the knight who served to protect this palace probably a Girguard".
" Girguard, never heard of that pokemon before" he mutters in shock.
Overall the palace was build up in golden colored, Satoshi ended up shimmering on his eyes just seeing each and every one of it.
And he ended up taking a snapshots of each golden statues he sees.
Not much later he continue to walk further in the palace, he even saw different painting hanged on the wall each with a different picture and description.
Satoshi tries reading the words inscribed in the painting" Glorious Past - the painting actually is showing a festive activity with people in medieval clothing being all jolly and discussing stuff".
" This must be referring to the festival on where the king celebrates when he is still alive" Satoshi muttered to himself.
" Now the next one is" he said looking at the painting " Palace Environs - the painting actually shows flower meadows in front of a mountainous backdrop, more specifically red and yellow flowers with a hint of white flowers in it".
" This one was showing the king having a environment full of flowers, the king must have really love plants" Satoshi thought to himself.
And then the next painting was precisely the last one since most of them are repetitive paintings to begin with.
" Then we have the last one" he said looking at the painting as well " Brilliant Future - the painting actually shows a future which assuming the pictures are about as old as the palace could very well be now".
" The said artwork shows the mirrors opposing the balcony, the reflection of one of them shows something not distinguishable, but definitely magenta red" Satoshi added.
" Now this is something different, the balcony could the king be talkign about the part where me and Serena would watch fireworks" Satoshi thought to himself.
" Argh, its no use to think something like this - I can only proceed with the palace itself for good" he sighed.
And with that he now returned back to the doors covered in blue color with a gold crown symbol adding to it.
He ended up approaching with the backpacker for a second.
"Don't try to sleep in the king's bed, it's ir-regal haha" he backpacker teases him ; " Hey are you trying to use Mean Look on me" he added.
" What the hell was that" Satoshi thought to himself after moving steps away from the backpacker.
Starting from the left part, he entered the first door after hearing the backpacker's words.
Stepping on the red carpet, Satoshi looks on what the first door in the left contained - a big rectangular mirror in the middle, adding six bronze chairs surrounding it with four gold rectangular tables on the side.
He also ended up approaching the chef and the maid inside that room - The chef was actually wearing a white long sleeves and black slacks ; for the maid she was wearing a white gown topped with a blue vest.
" Just because its parents were great, it surely doesn't mean that their children will also be great in fact the opposite is often true" the chef said.
" The owner of this palace only inherited it you know, it's not as though he earned it" the maid said.
" The first one could be referring to the parent's children on how the child handle each of his and her pokemon and the second one actually can confirm the king didn't own the palace in the first place it was only passed to him from generation to generation" Satoshi thought to himself.
Slowly he exits the room after talking with the maid and the chef.
" Now what does the room behind this contain?" Satoshi thought to himself looking at the slowly opening door.
" Wow, a large bed in the room itself" Satoshi mutters in shock.
To his surprise, the room he entered only had one thing - a green king size bed with a gold pillow and a pile of red mattress.
" Oh the bed is saying something" Satoshi said leaning closer to the large bed inside the room.
" It's a wonderful bed".
" It lulls you into a sound sleep".
" Satoshi hopped into the bed and fell asleep"
" Satoshi regained energy".
" Satoshi and Pikachu took a nap".
" Ah, that was a short nap but it feels refreshing" he said stretching his arms at the same time.
" OK, time to get going" Satoshi said leaving the room.
Now continuing below the doors, entering the golden curvy inverted U openings.
Just when he passed the opening, a tourist stood behind a painting displayed.
" This palace was built after Kalos won a war with neighboring regions".
" I'll bet a lot of people and pokemon lost their lives" the tourist said.
" Sounds like I was right, I knew there will be regions after Kalos but can I even try to take a visit to those place" Satoshi thought to himself" Nah, I don't think I can, I'd probably had to pass the exploration of those regions to my future son and daughter".
Continuing to the other side, there stood an artist walking .
" The person who made this palace must have been very admirable".
" The entire building has such an elegant to classy atmosphere" the artist said.
" No I totally regret myself for not meeting him in person, I can't imagine how happy I would be if that happens" Satoshi ended up sighing himself.
Now passing to a blue floor mat with a crown symbol embed in it adding a golden rectangular table and bronze chairs together with a white bookshelf enclosed in a blocker.
Passing another golden inverted U openings, stood a tourist - a golden rectangular table with a small bronze chair and a bronze sofa on the side lies on where she stands.
" I heard of a king from long ago whose garden was his pride and joy. He'd gather the castle folks and hold garden parties" the tourist said.
" So the king must have really loved his fellow men hence what I don't get is why he prefer to be eating alone than joining his companions" Satoshi thought to himself.
Without anything left, he now heads to the right part of the palace to find if there's any information he can get.
Before opening the doors behind the room, there was another backpacker standing looking in four corners.
" What's so special about this place?" the backpacker said.
" I don't get it, what's his problem?" Satoshi shrugged his shoulders asking his buddy.
However his buddy also shrug its shoulders not knowing what to say about it.
Entering the first door on the right side, basically the room didn't have anything special to begin with the exception of the people inside consisting of a maid and a backpacker
It actually consist of a rectangular mirror in the middle adding a round blue table in it with six bronze chairs on the side and two in the middle
But as usual Satoshi's reaction, he was giddying all over the golds throughout each rooms.
" This room was completely adorned with all manner of gold and silver works jewels and medals" the maid said.
" Whoa" the backpacker said.
Exiting the room now proceeding to the next door, he stands on the door in front of it.
Entering the room like the other one this one either didn't have anything special to begin with prior to the fat guy and a pair of a twin - the fat guy wears a white vest with black slacks, on the other hand the pair of twin was actually wearing a short yellow sleeves adding a green vest with a scrunchy tied on her hair holding a pichu doll on her hand.
The room actually consist of all the three paintings Satoshi seen earlier , as usual with the blue floor mat with a crown symbol and putting four bronze chairs on each side end.
" This room used to serve as a waiting room for Pokemon before they were brought out for a battle inside this room" the fat guy said.
" You mean pokemon just waited here calmly" the pair of twin said.
" Waiting room?, then that means there was a pokemon battle that held place during that time but could it be pertaining to the war of Kalos during that time" Satoshi muttered to himself " What's the girl's problem, its not like that pokemon are anxious on waiting for an battle, right".
Now exiting the room, he continued below the doors.
Below the doors, there stood a tourist near a blocked pitfall beside her was a gold rectangular table with little red chairs surrounding it.
" I feel like I'm in a dream" the tourist said.
Passing the tourist he ends up stumbling to an artist looking on the paintings hung on the wall.
" I wonder what the king of Kalos region thought about pokemon" the artist said.
" Well since he cared a lot of his fellow men, I'm syre he learns how to appreciate pokemons" Satoshi muttered to himself.
Now passing through the golden inverted U openings after talking with the artist.
Passing to the other side, there was actually a red king sized bed full of mattress good for display and eventually also coming across a chef and a waiter talking with themselves.
" I think it would be so much better if he had a lively dinner with everyone instead of a full course meal alone" the chef said.
" For the owner of the palace, every meal is a feast. If you've never known anything else, meal like that seems completely normal". the waiter said.
" With that said why did the king prefer to eat alone, he must have some problems within himself" Satoshi thought to himself" If only he was still alive, I might have end up asking him as for the second one i have nothing to comment since what the waiter said was basically true".
Now he tries looking at his wristwatch.
" I guess it's almost time" Satoshi thought to himself " But wait I think I still forget something".
Quickly he returned back to the left part of the palace, climbing the stairs up eventually there was a backpacker standing on the side looking at the miraculous painting.
" You need a pretty amazing king to build a place like this" the backpacker said.
" Yet he even didn't know the king didn't own the palace in the first place" Satoshi muttered to himself before continue climbing the stairs up.
Entering the first room - gleaming lights shined the room as soon he stepped on the red carpet.
The room actually consist of a butler with a rectangular mirror in the middle with a poke ball below it.
Adding also the white bookshelf on each side with two chairs on each side end.
" Hey, is that an item?" Satoshi asked to himself.
Slowly approaching the table, his pokenav starts to respond" You've found an Amulet Coin".
" Amulet Coin?" Satoshi asked to himself picking the item.
" The amulet coin is actually an item in which when a pokemon battles, doubles the money after the battle with the pokemons involved in it"the butler said.
" Oh, is that it - This is such a cool item that I must treasure" Satoshi said keeping the item in his backpack.
Suddenly Satoshi stares at the enclosed bookshelf, the butler on the other hand tells him something.
" I heard that a forbidden tome once existed that contained the secret to bringing pokemon back to life".
" It's probably just a rumor though".
" We've certainly got nothing of the sort in our library". the butler ends his words.
" Huh, what's this?" Satoshi said getting a book from the bookshelf.
He begins to read" There's a book called The Transforming Pokemon and The Mysterious Stone".
" It's about a certain incident that occured in Shara City".
" Something about a pokemon that changes its form at the beginning of the battle".
" The person next to the pokemon is holding a mysterious stone".
" Could that have something to do with it?"
He closes the book" Speaking about Shara City, didn't I met a person saying that she was Shara City's gym leader".
Suddenly his mind flashed to the part where he met Koruni during his travel on a certain route.
" Wait, don't tell me the person behind this is her" Satoshi mutters in shock to himself.
" But for now, I'll just leave it like that - a mystery unsolved at the moment" he said leaving the room exiting the door.
" Pikachu, let's now continue to the balcony - I'm sure Serena is waiting for the fireworks as well" Satoshi said.
" The balcony is this way" a butler instructed him.
" Thanks" Satoshi said to him following now the way to the balcony.
Entering the way to the balcony, Satoshi gazed at the big golden lights shaped like a pokemon adding the reflecting mirror walls.
Stepping on the little red carpets before reaching his desired spot - the balcony.
" Huh, Serena is still not here?" Satoshi asked to himself.
" OK, young man - I'll just leave you here, I still have work to do" the butler excuses himself.
" Where is Serena anyway?" he asked again to himself.
Meanwhile in another room
" I hope Satoshi will like this" Serena said looking at the Pikachu costume facing the mirror.
Humming through her favorite songs, she continues packing up all the things needed before tonight's decisive day.
Serena's POV:
Satoshi, its about time to face the truth.
" OK, its about time" Serena said finishing her things to be put in her backpack.
" Satoshi, here I come" she said exiting the temporary bedroom going on her way to the balcony.
Few minutes later
" Serena still isn't here, where could she be?" Satoshi asked to himself.
" Satoshi, I'm sorry if I let you wait too long" Serena said gasping from rushing to the balcony .
Satoshi gulped for a moment before speaking up" Serena, what's with the outfit".
He only stared at the cute yellow rodent costume wore by his rival holding a pink backpack on her hands as well.
" You see, I was trying to surprise you - that is why i pick that costume" Serena fidgets" So does it look good on me or maybe not?"
" No, it really suits you well, I'm just surprised on why you get to wear something like this all of a sudden - This is really unlikely you" Satoshi said scratching his head at the same time.
" Glad that I really pick this one out, you know I even spend a lot of money just to get this" Serena feeling relieved from her rival's thoughts.
" Oh so that was the reason you get to waste a lot of money" Satoshi sweat-dropped" Men, you didn't even have to go that far for me".
" Its because I was trying to impress you" Serena said in a soft voice.
" Huh, Serena we're you saying something" Satoshi asked.
" No, it's nothing - Never mind of that" Serena said.
" Oh OK" Satoshi said looking again on the outside view of the balcony.
" I guess its about time to face him the truth" Serena thought to himself.
" Inhale, Exhale" she gasped form her breathing.
" OK, here goes nothing" Serena said.
" Satoshi, do.. you...remember.. me?" Serena stammers with her words.
" Huh, Serena.. what.. are..you..talking..about" Satoshi stutters back with his words.
She now rummages a thing form her backpack.
" This, do you still remember this?" Serena asked him showing some sort of a book.
Satoshi ended up accepting the book from Serena, he now tries flipping to the page of the book.
As soon he opens the book, there was a word saying" Photo Album".
" Huh, did I even have something like this before" Satoshi asked to himself.
Slowly turning to the first page of the so-called photo album.
He begins to get more surprised to found out that this girl Serena has her photos of him during the time when they were still little children.
" How come she has something like this?" he asked to himself.
" Serena, does this mean" Satoshi flustered looking on the pictures in the photo album.
" Here maybe this will help you remember your past" Serena said showing a blue handkerchief with a poke ball picture printed in it.
Satoshi begins to think deeply on what happens on his past.
Start of flashback
"Everyone, where are you?" Serena said walking alone in the forest.
Accidentally she fell on her knee after seeing a blue tadpole pokemon jumped passing her.
" I knew I don't want to come to a place like this, Mommy" she wailed.
Bushes starting to shake sometime after.
" Nyoromo" the boy shouted.
" Huh" he said " Oh who might you be".
" I'm Satoshi and you are" Satoshi introduced himself.
" I hurt my knee that badly" she said taking a glimpse of her knee.
" Oh you've got a big scar there" Satoshi said looking at the scar.
"At times like these" Satoshi said pulling a handkerchief from his pocket.
He ended tying up Serena's knee with the blue handkerchief he just pulled.
" Alright, I think that should do it" Satoshi said.
" No, I can't" Serena tries standing up but she still can't do it.
" How about I put a spell on your knee - pain pain go away" Satoshi suggested.
" It's no use" Serena tries standing up but still can't do it.
" Never give up till the end" Satoshi said reaching his hand to her " Here, why don't you to take my hand".
Serena silently agrees on the other hand Satoshi pulls her hand in a way she can stand firmly.
" Oh you've stand up - Good for you" Satoshi said with a cheeky smile.
" Now let's make our way to the exit of this forest - Just hold my hand until we reach it" Satoshi said.
In the end Satoshi continues to hold Serena's hand leading her the way to the exit.
Days later, Serena has to part with her friend Satoshi due to some circumstances.
" Here why don't we do pinky swear?" Serena suggested.
" Pinky swear" Satoshi mutters.
" Yes, something that we won't be put away and that will be the symbol of the two of us being together no matter how far it will takes - be it years, months" Serena said.
" Oh, I like that - then we should do it" Satoshi exclaimed.
In the end both of them did a pinky swear before handing something for memory
" Here I'm leaving that item to you" Satoshi said handing the blue handkerchief to Serena.
" I'm giving you that so you can remember me" he said.
" Thank you, I'm sure I'll keep this item" she said
" Then I'm giving this to you" Serena said pulling a pink ribbon from her pocket handing to her friend as well.
" That should help you remember me and also this" Serena said.
She now gives a kiss pecked on Satoshi's cheeks.
Satoshi was clueless about the kiss though
" Ok, that should do it" she said with a smile
" Satoshi, I promise you that when we meet again - we will have lots of fun again together" Serena cried looking at her parting friend.
" Of course, you can count on me" Satoshi said not trying to well up tears.
End of flashback
" Wait, I think I remember now so after what we've been talking about during the time we had before the Sihorn race, I blunt a story something similar to this and and that girl from my memory was actually you Serena?" Satoshi ask her.
" Yes, that's what I'm talking about - Now you had remember me" Serena said blushing a bit.
" Wow, I was definitely shocked to learn this from you just now" Satoshi said closing the photo album
" In other words, Satoshi you and I had been childhood friends - you just didn't have an idea" Serena said hiding her blush.
" I see, thanks for telling me this Serena but I suggest that you keep the handkerchief for now" Satoshi said" Right now, I don't think I need that thing".
" And also thanks for showing me this" Satoshi said returning the photo album to his rival.
" I see then what about the pink ribbon I gave you" Serena said.
" Its been kept safely, here" Satoshi said showing the pink ribbon " You might as well take it back, it actually looks good on you though".
" Thanks Satoshi" Serena said with a smile accepting the pink ribbon.
" Now I definitely won't regret it anymore that I will have a rival that know me ever since my childhood, its good that I just came to this region" Satoshi said.
" Me too after knowing you in real - it feels like this is a dream to me" Serena said grasping the ribbon on her hand" That I will get to meet the boy that help me during my childhood".
" Serena" Satoshi said looking at her.
" Satoshi" Serena said looking at him with tears streaming down a bit from her face.
" Serena, why are you crying?" Satoshi ask her.
" Thank goodness, I got to meet you finally" she ended up hugging him " I thought we won't get to meet again".
" But we met before" Satoshi said.
" No this time its for real, person to person and revealing our past" Serena clarified " Now I don't have anything to feel sad within me anymore".
" Don't worry now that we both know each other, I guess that's problem solved for the both of us - You don't need to be scared now that we know the truth that lies within us" Satoshi reassures her.
" You're right as long it's something with the both of us then I'll definitely be fine" Serena smiles and wiping her tears at the same time.
Sometime later, Serena looks at Satoshi maintaining eye contact.
" You know to tell you the truth, I never watched fireworks alone with a guy before" Serena said.
" Seriously, wow I'm glad I was the first one to watch this with you" Satoshi said.
" Yeah this is something special that will commemorate the past between us" Serena said.
" But I know I'll never forget these fireworks because I watched them with you" Serena said facing Satoshi holding his hand.
" Serena" Satoshi mutters in shock on Serena's sudden reaction.
" Satoshi, to tell you the truth - Um..you know..I.." Serena wants to mutter something from her mouth, her face starts to blush again.
Suddenly different colors of fireworks begins to sparkle in the night sky throughout the palace.
" Isn't those fireworks" Satoshi awes in excitement,
" Yes, and they even come in different colors" Serena said.
Different colors of fireworks were seen throughout the place varying in orange, violet, mint, blue and yellow colors.
" How beautiful" both of them awe in unison.
Sometime later, the fireworks has ended.
" Wow, that was really amazing" Serena said hyping up.
" I never ever want to forget this, so I'll keep this memory in an album in my heart" she added.
" In that case, how about this" Satoshi said showing a camera to her.
" Satoshi, wow such perfect timing - I really want a picture" Serena said clapping her hands.
" OK, here I go" Satoshi said about to flash the camera.
" Wait, how about you join me in this picture" Serena suggested in a soft voice.
" Sure why not, I definitely wanted it for commemorating our past" Satoshi said.
" And also for commemorating my love for you in the future" Serena said in a soft voice.
" Serena" Satoshi mutters in shock.
" No, it's nothing - then hurry up and take a picture, Satoshi" Serena ordered.
" You got it" Satoshi said placing his camera near Serena and himself.
" OK, 3,2,1 - Say cheez" he said about to click the camera.
" Click" the camera flicked on the nice photo of Satoshi and Serena.
" Let me see, let me see" Serena said in a eager voice ; " Wow, that such a cute photo" Serena said looking at the photo snapped form the camera
" I definitely will keep this picture in my heart, thanks Serena" Satoshi said facing her.
" No problem, oh my wristwatch is telling me its almost bedtime - I'm continuing back to the palace, see you tomorrow Satoshi" Serena said waving goodbye before continuing herself holding the backpack on her hands as well.
" Good night Serena" Satoshi said.
" Well at least I got to know Serena was my childhood friend to begin with, now I can finally be relieved to myself for a bit" Satoshi sighed for a moment.
" Now what should I do next" Satoshi thought to himself.
" He ended up looking at the balcony, however his eyes widen suddenly.
" Huh, wait those hedge they somehow look familiar to me".
Satoshi now tries to rummage something from his backpack.
" Ta-da , a binocular that me and Pikachu know to ourselves" Satoshi exclaimed.
Let's get a bit to Serena
" Now that our past has been revealed completely, what should I do next?" Serena thought to himself flipping the pages of the photo album during their childhood times.
" Oh yeah maybe its time to confess to him when I get the perfect timing" Serena said blushing a bit as thinking of Satoshi on her mind.
" I really can't wait for that day to happen" Serena giggled.
" Ugh, I really can't get it over in my head anymore" she said snugging her pillow covering her face.
Back to Satoshi
" Now I shall take a deep look" Satoshi said scanning with his binoculars pointing at the hedges within the garden.
" Hold on, I think there's really something in it - it actually looks like a maze somehow" he said realizing the hedges printouts and shapes in it.
" OK, time to return downstairs back to the hedges" Satoshi said dashing his way to the back of the palace.
Not much later, he arrived at the area of the hedges where the garden is located,
" OK, it's time to solve something different from pokemon" Satoshi said scanning with his binoculars zooming in it.
Sometime later he takes out a pen and a paper from his backpack starting to sketch something and keeping his binoculars in his backpack.
" So the hedge actually looks like this" Satoshi said tracing the structure of the hedges.
Moments later, he was finally done with his sketching of the garden itself.
" OK, now its time to make speculation" Satoshi said analyzing carefully the structure of the maze.
" The first one looks like a two squares intersecting at each other or sandwich together".
" The second one was shaped like a sun".
" The third one was shaped like a lamp".
" The fourth one shaped like a butterfly though". he ended his analysis.
" Wow this is such a tough mystery to solve, there must be some keyword to it" Satoshi said.
Let's get back to Serena
" OK, time to sleep" Serena said.
However she changes her mind after seeing someone was in the hedge maze investigating something from the window in her room.
" Hey, that looks like Satoshi - right?" Serena mutters to herself " But what is he doing at this time there, its so dark already".
" Maybe I should try to take a look" Serena said wearing now her pink pajamas rushing to the balcony.
" It looks like he was doing some kind of mystery" Serena said looking at the boy in the hedge wandering" I might as well help him, why not I'm his childhood friend right".
She now rushes her way to the back of the palace approaching Satoshi bit by bit.
Back to Satoshi
" Oh, I think I can get something from the maze" Satoshi exclaimed.
" What are you still doing, Satoshi - it's already this late" Serena said approaching him.
Turning his back on Serena, Satoshi starts to speak up holding the sketch of the garden in his hands
" Serena, that should be my question - didn't you say you were going to sleep, what are you still doing here" Satoshi retorts back.
" Well, look I'm worried about you since now you know I'm your childhood friend - of course I'm definitely going to keep an eye on you, who knows what will happen to you" Serena states in a worried manner.
" Serena, it's fine I don't think there will be someone going to catch or trap me out" Satoshi assures her.
" Is that so, but I think its better if I stay with you - I think it'll be better that way" Serena clarified.
" Hah" Satoshi sighed" Well it can't be help now that you're here - you sit there on the back and watch what I am doing"
" OK, by the way Satoshi what are you still doing at this late kind of hour" Serena asked him again.
" Oh, actually I've been wanting to search the mystery behind the hedge maze in this garden". Satoshi said.
" Wow, I never thought that you will have that kind of thing in your mind" Serena said.
" Well I guess I got to learn a bit of mystery solving when I was with Dento during my journey in the Unova region" Satoshi said" So I try to start one just for tonight".
" Now back to where was I analyzing again - uh, yeah the hedge maze structures" he said looking at his drawings resembling the maze.
Serena only watches on his back as she can't help anything about what Satoshi is telling himself.
" Basically this is a quadrant to quadrant thing - the first one has a sun shape, the second one - some kind of a square, the third one - lamp, the fourth one - butterfly".
" Oh the fourth one might actually look like Bibiyon" Satoshi said.
" However I don't think this fits the maze, there must be something telling that these quadrants have something they are common of".
Satoshi begins to think deeply for a moment.
" Wait, I think this might help me" Satoshi said taking out an unknown book.
" Huh, Satoshi - what's that book you are holding" Serena asked him.
" Uh, this - it is actually something resembling the mythologies of the real world" Satoshi said showing her the book.
" Wow, you even have a book like that with you - I didn't thought about it in the first place" Serena said.
" You see this book has all things related to the myths of each countries" Satoshi clarified flipping the pages of the book.
" Now where was it, yeah - here it is, french mythology"
Satoshi tries to read some parts of the french mythology.
Upon reading a bit, he got some information to fix on his own.
" Based from what I've just read, there was an analogy stating something like Guardian of the Sun = Light of the King".
" In the history of french, there was actually a palace based on Versailles in the reality of France".
" That could actually mean this palace has something resembling to it" Satoshi thought to himself.
" There was even stating something like the sun king by the name of King Louis living in Versailles".
" Wait a second, then the sun maze could be referring to him - in which this case the sun pokemon named Sorurock".
"Then I also had read a part where the part of a family crest of a royal family is associated with a lion, sun and a lamp".
" Judging from this, I can tell the sun could indeed be Sorurock, for the lamp since the garden was a strand of lamp, I think the nearest would be Shandera".
" Oh yeah now it makes sense, I just remember that chandelier are associated with wealthy or rich people".
" But what about the lion one, i couldn't think of anything resembling to it".
He tries looking back at the quadrant, later realizing again another mystery behind it.
" Sorurock is from Hoenn, Shandera is from Unova - region 3 and region 5 respectively" Satoshi said" Then could this mean the last two fills a region 4 and a region 6 slot".
" Since Sorurock is in Quadrant 1 and Shandera is in Quadrant 3" .
" Now this actually makes sense, although I can't think of any region6 pokemon resembling a royal or a square" he said" I might as well ask Serena maybe she will know something about it".
" Serena, is there any pokemon that you know in generation 6 that resembles like a lion" Satoshi asked his childhood friend.
" Hmm let me think - pokemon resembling a lion" Serena said putting a chin on her lips.
" Oh I think there's one the Shishiko stage - Shishiko and Keinjishi" Serena said.
" Uh, do you have a drawing of the pokemon just to show proof" Satoshi sweat-dropped.
" Here you go" Serena said handing some kind of a book.
" Oh you have this kind of book - this is really quite unlikely you" Satoshi said" Nice a book about the pokemons in Kalos, this shall be a big help to me, thanks Serena".
" No, it's fine as long its something that I can help you - I'm all happy for you" Serena said with a smile.
Flipping through the pokemon pictures of Kalos, Satoshi analyze the pokemon Serena just said and also looking at the other unfamiliar pokemons in advance".
Looking at the pokemon Kaenjishi, Satoshi tries to thoroughly scan the pokemon before coming to a conclusion.
" Oh I think I got it, the generation 6 could be Keinjishi, judging from the male gender - its head somehow resemble it and she was right it did look a lion" Satoshi said to himself
" OK, now the generation 6 fills Keinjishi, I am left with a generation 4 or the quadrant 2 which is basically a Sinnoh pokemon - but a pokemon with a square shaped" he ends up muttering to himself.
Satoshi ends up recalling the hierachy of the french kingdom.
" Now for the final pokemon, I'll try recalling first what I had just confirmed".
" Bosquet de L' Obelisque also known as Obelisk Grove - according to the description it resembles a petrified ray of the sun disk that basically confirmed Sorurock for the upper right hedge".
" Bosuqet de L' Etoile also known as Star's Grove - the male Keinjishi's mane actually resembles a star plus it was known as the royal or regal pokemon so it actually makes sense for the bottom right hedge".
" Skipping Bosquet de Dauphin also known as Dolphin's Grave since there wasn't anything resembling it and there wasn't even a hedge showing a dolphin shaped".
" Moving to the next we have Bosquet de la Girandole also known as Chandelier's Grove which basically confirms Shandera since its name resemble the english word chandelier at some point so this one is a bonus fitting the bottom left hedge".
" The last one could be a tricky since in the french hierarchy there were a lot connecting the branch to it".
" first in the upper left we have La Colonade or Colonnade - its structure was said to build with a long sequences of columns which is Roobushin since he had two columns in his arms".
" Then we have Salle des Marroniers also known as Chestnut Room - Harimaron maybe could fit with this".
" Next we have Jardin de Roi also known as Garden of the King - should be a certain pokemon holding a King's Rock or one that looks like a king, the only candidate that would fit would be Yadoking".
" Then a little bit south of it we have Bassin de Miroir also known as Mirror Fountain - the only pokemon that I know would be Doomiraa since it reflects like mirror in the distant past according to the pokedex".
" Next in the middle of La Colonnade and Bosquet de L' Obelisque we have Bosquet de L'Encelade also known as Grove of Encelades - its description was saying one of Saturn's moons or something like a mythical character resembling to it, a moon pokemon which can only be Runatoon in this case".
" Lastly we have Bosquet des Domes also known as Grove of the Domes - in this case its Hiidoran knowing its Lava Dome pokemon to begin with".
" So after coming all conclusion, the one that would completely be near to the shape of the maze would probably be Doomiraa, hence the hedge itself did shaped like a mirror or maybe could it be something else.
Satoshi now tries to recall what Jessica had said earlier - tried capture Torimian.
" From what I know according to the pokedex - Torimian was said that they were designated guardinas of the king historically in the Kalos region".
" Now for the phrase - tried capture Torimian or tried capture the king".
" Perhaps something was pertaining to a king".
"Toridepusu is to Bastion, Bastion is to Bastille - Bastille was a fortress in Paris used as a state prison during the early times".
" Capture to Bastille, probably also makes sense besides the hedge that I needed does resemble also like a castle wall which is the pokemon Toridepusu in this case".
" So now I can come out of a conclusion its either Toridepusu or Doomiraa takes the spot for the maze I needed to solve hence they were even both from generation 4 to begin with".
At the time Satoshi finished revealing what he knows, Serena was already asleep reclining on his back.
" Oh, she's asleep " Satoshi said yawning at the same time" Now I'm also starting to feel drowsy a bit".
Then he ended collapsing on the floors of the garden with his drawings and pen dropped on the floor.
Moments later, Serena starts to wake up a bit.
" Satoshi, what time is it" Serena groaned.
" Huh, Satoshi" she said rolling her eyes.
" Oh no, he fainted while he was still doing the sketching, I guess I need to help him up" Serena said approaching the collapsed Satoshi on the floor grounds picking up his things as well.
" Ugh, he's too heavy - I just need to drag him to my room" Serena said in an arduous manner pulling him back to the inside of the palace.
" Almost there" Serena said continue pulling him towards inside her temporary room.
" Phew - Finally, I made it" Serena gasped entering successfully the room.
" Now, I just need to put him in bed" she said trying to carry him to her bed.
" OK, that should do it - Goodnight, Satoshi I love you" her last words before starting to put herself in sleep mode.
With that Satoshi ends up sleeping in Serena's room by accident as for Serena she seems to doesn't care as long they both know they are now back together.
A/N : Changes the title since it would more fit the chapter itself.
The moneys that the trainers had
Satoshi - 505020
Serena - 230450
The items the trainer received
Satoshi - Amulet Coin, Oran Berry
The highlights for this chapter
- Satoshi and Serena's past has been completely revealed and had been recognized that they were indeed childhood friends
- There was a part in their flashback that had a similarity to the xy anime episode 7
- There was a big mystery inside the gardens of the Parfum Palace
- Most of the nonchalant parts were basically the same from the XY game itself although for the inside of the palace I only covered most on the first floor since I got tired spending time working on this chapter for days.
- Serena admits that she will confess to Satoshi if she finds the correct time, albeit the last words during her sleep was already hinting that she has a secret crush on him.
- The name Jessica actually came from the eighth episode of the xy anime where she gets to own one and also having the same name.
- Satoshi has a probability of being a detective getting his ideas from his past friend Dento.
- Satoshi ended up meeting the statue Reshiram and Zekrom, in which he get to befriend them during his trip in Unova.
- This might probably the longest chapter created as it reached over 10000 words for chapter itself
So basically that ends the humongous chapter, the next chapter seems a bit boring and it will now take time for the next chapter to be updated.
By reading the chapter, you will find that i really fill all the necessary pokemons needed.
Anyway enjoy this high shippy chapter, until the next chapter is released. The author is now signing off. See you next time. Till then, Ciao!
