-line break-

Cress was just going about his day to deliver these three files to the Pokemon Lab until he met a familiar, older woman on his way. He knew her from his early years of childhood, how she taught him and his brothers how to cook, and about Pokemon battles. You could have imagined he surprise when at his young age he figured out that she was a gym leader and when she volunteered- along with one of her other freinds- to help them when the three of them became one.

With the tilt of his head Cress gave the older woman a sorrowful smile. "I see we have the same idea, do we not?" She nodded letting out an exasperated sigh afterward. She glaced oncemore at the file in her hand shaking her head and holding it up to her chest. "So many memories but sadly it doesn't have the same spark as it did too, what about you?"

"Me and my brothers decided this would be the best decision as much as we all might be against it slightly in the end," The older woman curtly nodded. "Well I'm just glad you all decided it together instead of just one or two of you. It's better if we all agree on it together, right? Like me and my hubby did," 

"Yeah," The blue haired boy spoke, "I'm glad you two came to an agreement like we did, it's hard when it comes to choices like these, it's a full commitment thankfully it's not gonna be that full of a commitment for us, we'll come back eventually." She quirked an eyebrow in response, head titled in slight confusion. Placing a hand on her hip, she spoke: "You mean that you'll eventually come back to even after leaving in the first place? Seems a little strange if you ask me,"

Cress light chuckled, it was, he thought. Rubbing the back of his neck with the hand that wasn't holding the three files. "We have our reasons, our's are a little more personal so I'd rathernot discuss them without the permission of my brothers, it'd be unfair to not get their opinion on it. I'm sure you can understand," The older woman gave him an understanding nod. "Understandable, I can understand after everything that happened these few years, I wouldn't be surprised a few others made the same decisions as us because of it,"

He let out a sigh, "I at least hope when we come back not everything will change, y'know? It'd be such an awful thing to come back to, as much as change can be good it can be terrifying at the same time." She nodded as they continued on their way to the Pokemon lab. A long stretch of silence spreaded between the two as they walked along the route, the only thing filling the silence was the sound of the Patrat and Lillipup running around in the grass filling the silence between them. 

Once they reached the lab, they walked inside only to be greeted by an assistant with blonde hair, emerald eyes and red glasses. She smiled at the two, clutching a document close to her chest. "Hiya, the names Bianca! What are you two doing here?"

"We're here to return these documents," The assistant tilted her head, taking the files from both of the gym leaders. She shuffled the files while mumbling under her breath a confused expression flickering across her face as she looked up at the two. "Don't get me wrong, I can understand Lenora giving me one file but why are you giving me three Cressy?"

"Me and my brother each have to file out individual forms instead of a single one as annoying as that might be, we have too." Bianca nodded and held the files against her hip. "Understandable, I'll get these to Professor as soon as possible, see you later," She waves the two of them off and they walked home, a long stretching silence between the two of them. What would happen next was unknown, how people react wouldn't most likely be good but they could only hold onto the hope that things would turn out well.

Next Chapter: iris is stressed and the gym leader arc continues
