"I rather not . But feel free to get yours done there . I found another place to get mine done . I can also take a ball crafting course while I wait . " Gray looked at June and smiled a little . "Gives you time to spend with your buddy . His research . . I rather you learn it . "

"Bah, come on Gray . Wait why me to learn it?"

"Because then I get to have more reasons to spend time with you . " Gray wrapped her in hug and looked at her . "You think I am not thinking of more was to get closer to you?"

"Umm . . I am not a teenage girl . Those sweet words won't work on me . " June said embarra.s.sed . She, however, did not move free . "You like research . I always see you reading . Think of what you can learn while listening to him talk, instead of learning from me after . " She was trying her best to make Gray social in her mind .

"Haaa, I will show up after my errands ok?"

"Ok . "

"No . " Gray leaned down and kissed her . It started to get heavy until June's pokegear went off . "Of all the times . "

"Its Bill . He has something to show me . Can you teleport me to his place before you start your errands?"

"No problem . " Focus his psychic energy, Gray brought right to the field by the house . With a quick peck on the cheek he left . "Smooch, bye June . " Just as fast as he arrived he disappeared .

"Haaa, life is good . " June walked into Bill's place . She was not ready for what was inside . 'Chroma what do you think?'

"It is good when Gray is around yes . ' Chroma's voice was a little strained .

Gray appeared back in the first town that he sold everything at before . Walking to the casino in his disguise was still easy . After talking with the shopkeeper and getting the fissile restored he walked out and went to a cafe on foot .

'Hmm a Tyruny how weird . ' Gray held the little dino and walked around till he found a ball specialty shop . "Excuse me in Pokeb.a.l.l.s that help with gaining experience?"

"Well . . not really for the nowadays Trainer . Have the Walk Ball but no one buys those anymore . " The old shop keep said . "Everyone wants the fancy stuff nowadays . Love Ball and Fast b.a.l.l.s . Back in my day, the old wind up ball was the best we had till the apricorn b.a.l.l.s became more easier to craft . Then the blasted ma.s.s produce b.a.l.l.s . Blasted Silph Company . "

The old man went it deep detail about the history of Pokeb.a.l.l.s . Gray listened intently with the baby Tyrunt just biting at his fingers . Every now and then Gray had to give a hard knock on the head to keep from eating his clothes . It learned fast enough . Settling for his fingertips instead . The shop keep talked another two hours before finis.h.i.+ng .

"You listened to my whole story . With no complaints . "

"Only complaint I have is . . well that is over . I was needing more details on the make of them as well . But knowing the timeline helped a lot . " Gray nodded and remembered to take out the older broken Pokeb.a.l.l.s he found through his journey so far . The ones that were mostly intact and could possibly be repaired . "Cam you tell me the origins of these?"

"Hohoho nice . Let me see . " The old man grabbed one after putting gloves on . After a 10 minute cursory inspection he sighed heavily . "Five years to late . A little more and the Pokemon could have been saved . "

"Well that bites . Can we fix enough to give it a proper burial?"

"Yes . It will cost you though . " Seeing give his approval the old man went to work . A fast 30 minutes and the ball was welded back togethor . A weird pokemetal according to the shopkeeper . "All done . Would you like me to do the others?"

"Yes . I will wait here . " Gray grabbed the ball and was weirded out by the power inside . Once restored he felt a strong Dark aura emitting from inside . 'What in blazes is inside here I wonder?'

(Pokemon Darkrai has perished . Would you like to revive? -15 Aura . )

'Yeah h.e.l.l no . That is way to much of a loss for me currently . Sorry Drakrai but better luck next time . ' Gray felt bad but nothing could come out weaking himself like that . As if the Pokemon understood the aura left the ball and entered him . 'That was a little chilly . '

(Darkrai blessing obtained . The soul of Darkrai has found peace inside your soul . It looks forward to the day of revival . Aura increased by 1 . )

'Hmmm very well . ' Gray put the ball in his key pocket and watched the old shopkeeper work when the man took a break he sent messages to his friends and June last . Her response was only a little angry but she understood that he would be back for the second half of the lecture . At least she is having fun with Bill . '

"Here you go . that will be 675 all togethor . "

"Here you go . " Gray gave him 800 . "Addituonal for the history lesson as well discretion . " Pocketing the items in his pocket he felt the aura before hand . All dark type with one fairy mixed in . Which was odd to say the least . "Oh, 1200 for the Walk Ball . " Buying it, he tapped Tyrunt which fell asleep . The ball shook once before locking . A bubble appeared .

(Walk Ball: The more steps the Trainer takes the more experience the Pokemon gains when returning to the ball to rest . )

"Thank you for the patronage . " The old knew there was something off about Gray . But since he was polite and caused no trouble he bit the bullet and had to ask . "Would you care to learn my trade?"

"I would like that a lot . I would have to come another time however . My friend is expecting me to attend something . " Gray smiled under the hoodie . "Here is a way to contact me . Till then I have to go . " Walking out he took a left and dipped into an alley then a sewer .

"Fwoosh," with a teleport he was gone to a mountain range then a few more back to Bill's place after first running straight there .

"Haa let's get this over with . " Gray walked inside and joined the other two . The lecture was only a little interesting . Bill had started to mostly repeat the beginning from June let him know . After another hour he spoke about the health benefits before finally finis.h.i.+ng .

(Pokemon Doctor has increased by 1)

'Something out of all this . ' Gray felt the walk ball shake and realised Tyrunt wanted out .

"Rawwr," the little Pokemon growled . "Sniff sniff," he started sniffing the air and waddled to the door .

"Hahaha what a energized little thing . " June said from the side of Gray . "Dinner will be ready in a bit . Oh, I found out about some berries that help Pokemon around in the area . It is close to an Electic plant . You can catch an electric Pokemon when we get out there . "

"Hmm nice . " Gray smiled and nodded at her . "I am tempted to go right now . But it had been a long day . I will take Tyrunt for a walk then come back . " June nodded and waved him off .

Bill watched and thought it meant Gray was leaving . 'Nows my chance! Cant let this go by!' Feeling his confidence build up he went to get some wine for the meal . "I think she will love the meal!"

Chroma watched from a windowsill . Her eyes glowed briefly as she saw a glimpse of the future . Smirking to her self she phased through the house and sat on the roof . She sent June a message that she would be out for awhile .

-20 minutes later-

'Gray is taking quite a bit of time getting back . ' June looked out and wondered before Bill sat back down with another bottle of wine . 'Well cutting loose is not that bad every now and then . Gray is going to miss all the wine at this rate . '

"As I was saying June . " Bill said as he reached over and grabbed June's hands . She thought nothing of it since they were old friends and he was always the touchy type when he drank and became merry . "I think you stay in help me with my research . With what happened to you . . you could provide a great boost to my credibility . "

"I don't mind giving my own insights . It would be my pleasure . " June smiled happy to help a colleague . She noticed Bill's feverish gaze along with his flushed cheeks . "Bill I think you may have had enough . We are not college kids anymore . "

"June I want you to stay here . Not just as an a.s.sistant . " Bill stepped forward towering a little over June I'm her seat . "We can pick up were we left off all those years ago . "

"Flattered but no . We dated only a little bit . I am traveling now . Better opportunities have opened up . " June shook her head at the idea . It was a safe peaceful choice to be a regular researcher . However the last few weeks have been exciting . Also her heart was somewhere else . "I have new dreams and staying will not allow me to achieve them . " She tried to pull her hands away . Bill's grip was pretty strong . She felt afraid till Gale spoke inside her .

'This man . . is dangerous . Get away June . ' Gales voice was cold as she roused her aura into June . 'June that man is stronger than you . He has a powerful aura from his research most likely . '

'Nonsense . ' June said back . "Bill let my hands go . You are hurting me . " She added in to help get her point across . Bill let go causing her to relax . "Bill no drink for you . " Getting up she grabbed the bottle and walked away to put it up . When she returned Bill looked even more determined than ever . 'What has gotten into him?'

"June! I love you! Be with me . " Bill stepped forward causing June to step back .

"What the h.e.l.l is that aura?" Gray asked walking back by the house . Tyrunt had smelt some weird berries . Gray picked them and stored them away for later . Not before the Pokemon ate half the bushel though . "Well s.h.i.+t . Didnt know the two were that close . "

Inside Gray watched as Bill poured his heart out to June . He was getting ready to turn away till he saw Bill grabbed June with a little to much strength . He pulled her close and tried to kiss her next .

"I am gonna murder that son of a . . " Gray ramped his aura and was about ti step forward till Chroma stopped him .

'Wait!' She appeared right by his feet placing him within her aura . Gray was immediately sealed in time as she spoke to him . 'Let her handle this . She is not that fragile Gray . '

'You are kidding me!?' Pus.h.i.+ng his own aura even higher Empress woke up inside him . She was ready for a battle till she scan outward and noticed nothing was wrong . Chroma was not a threat as she was currently . She went back to sleep . 'That is your partner in there!'

'She will be fine Gray . She however wont be if you go in and kill her friend . You know I speak the truth . ' Chroma gave Gray hard state before licking her paws . 'Go of you must, but I warned you . ' Relesasing Gray she watched as he stared inside . 'Are you influenced by yourself or your memories currently . Only time will tell . '

"Smack," inside June had smacked Bill so hard he hit the table . Her hand in the form of a Scythers talon . Bits of ice decorated his face as it spread outward keeping him down . Bill fainted from the inebartion afterward .

"Ha . . ha . . that idiot!" June huffed as she calmed herself . Her hand turned back to normal from the partial transformation . "I need to warn Gray not to come back . He would lose it . " Looking to the side June smelt something odd from the wine that knocked over . "What is mixed in these drinks?"

'It is a very used in mating . It makes Pokemon very intrested in mating . In humans I have no idea . It is odd that you do not act any different . ' Gale said before calming herself once more . 'The power I received from Gray allows me to keep my wits . I guess it is affecting you as well . '

"It is illegal to use the berries . Bill what nonsense were you thinking . " June went to work cleaning up . She sent Gray a message to not come back instead to use this chance to get some night training in . He responded instantly . "Haa dodged that bullet . "

"Tch, this cannot end well for anyone . " Gray walked into the forest . H e kept gus aura trained on the house . Bill woke up and tried something worse this time . Chroma kept watch over Gray to make sure he stood put . June handled herself well usuing a little more force . The police came due to an anonymous tip from Gray saying he was a hiker and heard some women screaming for help nearby .

-The next day mid afternoon-

The group had stopped for a break from training . Resting as the Pokenon played around . Tyrunt stood next to Gray . He kept nibbling on Gray's fingers happily . Empress was hanging from a tree messing with several rubix cubes . Her training had shot through the roof lately . Bugging Gray for all types of regiments . His Weedle took this time to start spinning its thread to become a Kakuna . The others just lazed about .

"So . . You were right about Bill . He started to get a little handsy when you left . Nothing a good chop to neck didn't fix . Also reported him to the league . They can't ignore what he did since I had proof . Security in the room caught everything . " June said to Gray once she noticed he was a little more quiet than usual .

"Glad you are ok . " Gray gave her a warm smile as he leaned back against the tree . His Pokemon played in the water a good bit away . Tyrunt was basking In the sun after nibbling at his fingers long enough . "We can go-to a hospital or something, to have you talk to someone if you like?"

"No I am fine . I had a talk with Chroma . Also gave my mom a call and talked to her about it . She was really heartbroken that Bill turned out that way . She also said he loved me for a long time and it was probably the drinking that did it . "

"Hmm I see . " Gray popped an eye open and watched her intently . "What do you think?"

"Well . . . I don't really know . . Maybe he just lost control . . . "

"Hmm, if that is what you believe then so be it . " He closed his eyes after that .

"You sound like you know different?"

"As another man perhaps . I know loss of control from inebriation . As well as when someone sees what they really want and goes for it . He wanted you that badly . Consequences be d.a.m.ned . Love can turn to obsession over time . Add in a little power and well, c.o.c.ktail for someone who wants to control others . "

"I hope that's not the case . "

"Another way to look at it, or it could be he really wants that a.s.s . " Gray gave her a grin . When he didn't hear anything else, he figured she walked away . "Ahhh guess I will take a nap . "

"Thump," something landed on Grays lap . It was Chroma staring up at him .

'Why say the last part?' Her wide eyes staring into him as he opened his own . 'You could have left that part out . '

'Perhaps . But I wanted her to know . She wanted my view on it after all . Thinking he was really good natured was very stupid . She believed it was the drink as well . If so, it does not matter what I say in the end . The report will come in, and she will know if it was really from the alcohol or whatever he had her ingest . ' Gray was a little off put about the situation . He could have just told her all she wanted to hear and gain some brownie points that way . Bit that felt a little disgusting to him . Better to stick her off and let her think about it more .

"Grr," Chroma growled at him . Her tail smacked his leg . 'I would have prefered you did something else . But fine whatever . ' She moved around on his stomach enjoying the warmth . His aura leaked out making him the perfect pillow . As well as a good Scratching post .

'Hmm, can't help it all the time . Had friends like her once who had that problem . It ended badly for them . Better she think on it with the full information . Even if its while angered . '

"I should have let you kill Bill instead of holding you back . "

"Why did you say that out loud?" Gray sat up and looked to the side and saw why . "Hi . . June . Fancy seeing you . . "

"You held him back . Spill Chroma . " June was upset .

'Very well . When everything happened, Gray was outside by the side . He felt your aura spike and turned to the house . Sending out his psychic energy he saw what was going on . ' Chroma hopped off Gray and walked up to June . 'He saw Bill put his hand on you and grabbed you . I made Gray stop from going in there . '

"So you knew what was going on!" June felt her body go numb .

'Yes . '

"Why didnt you help me? Why did you stop Gray?!"

"Because you would have hated me for it . I was going to kill Bill . I needed no explanation after feeling your aura and seeing him grab you like that . "

'You would have been sad about that . I rather prevent that from happening . Besides, you needed to learn to fight back . I will not allow you to become weak . You wanted to prevent that future we saw . There will be blood shed June . You cannot stand by his side if you cannot defend yourself . You cannot always be s.h.i.+elded!'

"I am trying!"

'I know June . I am not saying you havent been . You were in that situation do to your own actions . Anyone could see that man wanted you . I bet even Gale warned you but you didnt listen most likely . ' Chroma saw June grin . 'I knew it . That is even more reason I think you should become an Elite Trainer . Get your instincts up for survival . '

"Ralts!" Yeah! She cheered her Trainer on . The little Pokemon wanted to battle to . One of the reason Hray chose her for June .

"Alright already . I will try . " June said with a lopsided grin . "Should I do the regular challenge to?"

"No . You do not need to be bogged down by that . The Elite trainer would defintely be enough for you to gain your instincts . " Gray added . "I think you will do fine . Come on, I secured some tickets for the pre-show for us . Then I get to have my battle at the Gym . "

"So a date?" June looked at him in the corner of her eyes .

"I guess . I rather think our first date was the one in the cave . "

"Ehh but that was work more than anything . "

"Ehh work yes . But I was able to see first hand what you were willing to do moving forward . Knowing that I can invite you to do field research with me is nice . " Gray smiled . "It may not be a typical date . But we are anything but typical . Besides if you were really that kind of woman I guess I should plan the whole nine yards . You want a Rapadash carriage while we are at it?"

"Pft no way . " June waved her hand at the nonsense .

"Thought so . " Gray gave her a pamphlet about the show . "Suppose to be pretty awesome . Think you would like something like this anyway . "

"Hmmm alright . But I am calling this a date . "

"Well guess I have to switch to a more dateable attire . So dinner before or after?" Gray looked on puzzled . June's expression was a little unreadable . "What is it?"

"You are willing to do that with a old woman like me?"

"You do realize we are both really young in appearance . I am older than you June . A good bit . " Gray stood in front of her before grabbing her hands . "If you start thinking like this, I will take advantage of you to prove you very desirable . Not in the way Bill did obviously . "

"You dont have the b.a.l.l.s!" June teased . Gray grabbed her by the base of her back and kissed her . With his psychic energy wrapping them . other she felt everything he felt watching Bill grab her . The desire to rip the man apart . She also felt the joy he felt from her smacking the man . "Mm you are something else . "

"Thanks . I think . Oh do you want to fight the Gym Leader after me?" Hray asked before he forgot .

"Maybe . " June held him back . "Dont ruin the moment talking about that . " She pulled him into a deeper kiss as she started to French kiss him . In the corner of June eyes she saw Empress give them the thumbs up . "Hehehe," she couldnt help chuckling seeing the goofy Pokemon .

"Huh?" Turning around Gray watched Empress smile before returning to solving the puzzle . "Such a hard worker . " He watched for a few seconds before June pulled him back into a kiss .

'Happy for them . But have even more reason to get stronger now!' Feeling empowered a rush of aura energy caused her to finish each puzzle instantly . She then switched over to mediating . 'I will return to your side Gray . No matter what . ' The crescent moon on her fore head glowed for a moment before returning to normal .
