Rosoku looked around him. He couldn't help but marvel at the overwhelming goings-on around him. The whole of Lilycove City, it seemed, was packed to the square inch with people. He expected no less, though--This was the Ho-oh Festival, after all. The celebration for the legendary Pokemoh Ho-oh, who had (according to legend, of course) reincarnated three Pokemon killed in a fire into Suicune, Raikou and Entei. It was also said that Ho-oh watched over humankind and Pokemon, only to reveal itself when Pokemon and man lived in harmony...
Not that Rosoku believed in any of this junk. No, he was too serious of a man to idle himself with fairytales and the like. He had only come here because he had some free time, and he hadn't been to the Festival since he was very small.
He surveyed the area quickly, then made a desicion that he knew he'd probably regret later and headed towards Lilycove Square. It seemed to be more crowded than the other areas; Rosoku had to lift himself onto his toes just to be able to see. The enormous crowd was like an ocean, the current pushing in all directions. There was an island, though--a small, unpopulated table. After a while of worming his way through the tightly packed mass of people, he finally reached his destination.
He had just begun to go into a daze, wondering what to do next, when he noticed someone standing next to him at the table. It was a woman; she had long, blond hair and soft blue eyes, which both blended well with here pale skin. Rosoku stood still for a moment, transfixed, when she too turned to look at him. Much to both of their surprise, both of them flushed and turned away quickly.
Rosoku's face was still quite red. What...Was that? he thought, holding his hand to his chest. This had never happened before. He managed to muster up enough courage to turn to the woman and say:
"E-Excuse me."
The woman turned to him; she was blushing also. "Oh. Um...Hello."
Rosoku let out his breath and attempted to start a conversation. "My name is Rosoku. You...You are?"
The woman smiled and bowed slightly. "Umi. It's nice...To meet you, Rosuku-san."
The two conversed for a while, and the longer they talked the more smoothly it went. Eventually, neither of them were aware of the world around them, they were so wrapped up in the conversation...Or was it each other they were lost in?
Despite this, of course, Rosoku never blew his cover. He couldn't afford anyone finding out that he was in Team Magma, expecially not her. Sure, when he was working he wasn't afraid to reaveal it (not like he could hide it with the uniform on). But if anyone outside the Team added two and two and linked his identities...Well, he didn't want to think of the possibilities.
Suddenly Rosoku was caught off guard. "Rosoku-san," Umi said quietly, "Well, would you like to...Go around the festival? You know, to get to know eachother better. Becuase...I'd really like to meet again, sometime."
Rosoku blinked, feeling the rush of emotions return. The two had become fast friends, but he had never expected this. All the same, he accepted and allowed her to take his hand as they headed towards the middle of Lilycove's Town Square.
At first the two started out shyly; occasionally there would be an embarrasing silence, broken even more awkwardly. Eventually, though, the two became more synchronized. Rosoku felt as if he had left Earth, and was in a secluded wonderland of pure happiness...
"Hey, are you two listening?"
Rosoku and Umi looked up, startled. A very irritated-looking salesman was glaring at them, tapping his foot angrily, his hands akimbo. "It's about time," he snapped. "The festival ended five minutes ago!"
The newly-formed duo gasped. Rosoku checked his watch. Surely enough, it read 4:49 AM. He quickly and reluctantly said good-bye to Umi, who nodded in response. The two dashed off frantically.
Normally, her hurriedness would have been suspicious to Rosoku, but now was not the time. When he was sure she was out of sight, he ripped off his overcoat, revealing his Team Magma uniform, and pulled on his hood. He released a Charizard, the mark of the Team branded onto its forehead. "The Hideout. Now," he commanded tersely as he boared the enormous winged fire lizard.
Rosoku was too nervous about being late to think about it now, but he really wanted to see Umi once again. He would; but it wouldn't be in the way he expected...
Hooray! After an unnessicarily long wait (sorry about that ^^; ) Love and Loyalty is being rewritten! Chapter 1 is finished! As of the day I'm wririting this (August 1, 2005), Chapter 2 isn't done, but I really couldn't wait to get it up, because I know that several people are looking forward to reading this (and others have read the origional), so here it is!
Whoops, I almost forgot--The account I used to have, Puchiko Girl, was deleted because I was unable to log on. I tried getting new passwords, but it said they were invalid. Just wanted to confirm that so I didn't get accused of plagerism or whatever. O__o;;
I shall rate the chapters individually.
