The moment they decided to rest, they smiled at the volcano in the distance. “You know… you really changed me there, Fang.” Green said, sighing with pleasure. He loved the feeling of being alive and well, especially with the one he loved the most. He was sure he’d get her to come around eventually, anyway. “How?” She asked.

“Well… first, you helped me up until those Magmortars, then you let me… erm… kiss you… then you told Moltres the truth about the disasters... “

“I get the first and last one, but how did I change you by letting you kiss me, anyway?”

“Well, you let me learn that I shouldn’t hide my feelings anymore… and that only time would help me realize how I truly felt, Fang.”

“O-Oh my…”

“Yeah… I’m sorry if it seemed so sudden back there…”

“Look, we already talked about it, ok? No need to worry anymore.”

Green smiled, knowing she was right. They DID already talk about it. And she still needed the time to figure it out. Yet… Fang felt something blooming inside her. And he couldn’t sense it, but rather, he saw it in her eyes. However, it was only a frail flower, as she was very much confused. “Well… we’ve gotta get to the next destination, Fang. Time’s a-wasting.”

Fang nodded and soon followed Green farther. They ran into even bigger disasters on their perilous journey through the land, until they reached an ultimately frozen forest. “We… We made it, Fang… do you think you can set up camp here before going further…?”

“I can help…” A voice said, a shy tone clearly present in this feminine voice.

“Who… said that?” Fang asked, shivering.

“Uhm…” As the voice mumbled, an Absol sat next to Fang, her legs crossed, a dark blush across her face, well-sculpted curves, large boobs, larger than Fang’s, and to top it off, clothes of a Pokemon Ranger human. “H-Hi…” She stammered.

Fang smiled at this new girl. She knew she would need someone to help them. “I’m Fang… what’s yours?”

“I… I’m Yami…” She said, blushing much more.

“I’m Fang… it’s nice to meet you.” Fang said as she held her hand out to Yami. She backed up, somewhat scared. Fang made a slow approach, and soon came close. Yami blushed more until Fang began scratching her head softly. Yami seemed to like it, and nudged her to scratch the side opposite of the head scythe. Fang hesitantly did so, and Yami smiled. “How do you know all the good spots?” Yami asked, slowly growing warmer to Fang. “I have my ways, Yami.” She said, smiling at Yami. “Of course you’s say that.” Green said, chuckling.

“At least it’s true.” Fang said, smiling.

“That may be so.” Green said. “But what if your ways don’t-”

“Green… don’t say that. It hurts when you say that.”

Green blushed and apologized almost immediately. Yami giggled at his reflexes, and Fang blushed a bit. “Don’t mind him…” She said quietly. “He’s just head over heels for me.”

“So… he’s in love with you?” Yami asked.

“Exactly.” She said, sighing. “Yet I don’t know how I feel yet…”

“Hmm…”

“What is it, Yami?”

“Well, first, I can help with the fire, then you two tell me how you-” She pointed at Green. “-fell in love with her.” She soon pointed at Fang. Green blushed.

“Well…”

Fang soon told Yami everything about the whole thing, and Green blushed and kept silent. Her version was almost identical to the real events.

“And that’s how.” Fang finished, sighing. Yami smiled at Fang as she sighed, glad to let it all out. She loved the feeling of getting it off her chest. It was something she enjoyed feeling.

“Aww, that’s so adorable!” Yami said, smilimg. “You two would make a cute twosome!”

“R-Really?” Fang said, blushing.

“Yeah! I mean, you let him kiss you, and he carried you all the way to the peak! Doesn’t that, like, mean something to you?”

“Now that you mention it… yeah… it does… but there’s a lot for that.”

“So, don’t you think you should, like, tell him?”

“I still need to figure everything out for myself…”

“So… you need time. No worries…”

Fang smiled at Yami’s words. She seemed to get her, and thus, a new bond had formed. Fang soon realized her new friend was a potential teammate.

“So… Yami…”

“Yeah?”

“Do you, maybe, want to join us? We’re trying to find out who I really am, and why the disasters are linked to me…”

“I appeared to you to ask. I mean, I want to stop these disasters, too.”

“So… is that a yes?”

“Oh yeah, that’s a yes.”

Fang and Green smiled at each other, fist bumping with Yami. A new team mate.

Now it was getting more exciting.

Fang and Yami started fire and fell asleep. Green looked at them both as he laid next to Fang and smiled as he soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Green woke up to find Fang still asleep. He gently shook her shoulder. “Hey… Fang… wake up. It’s time we move.” He said. Fang groaned a bit while Yami stretched as she sat up. “So… you two ready to go?” Green asked, smiling.

“You bet!” They said, smiling.

And soon, their adventure in Frosty Grotto soon began.
