Flashback

Before the school year (Freshman year)

I was walking through the hallways when I saw a Garchomp walking around studying the school and its scenery. I walked over to him and started to study his features. He was really muscular he was about six'one. The guy looked like he could be a model.

"Hello, are you new here?" he looked at me with a warm smile.

"Uh, yes and I'm kind of lost" he scratched the back of his neck sheepishly.

"I'll take you to the administration so you can get all of your stuff" we walked in a sort of awkward silence to Administration.

"Thanks for taking me here. My name is Arthur" he gave me a toothy smirk and I blushed.

"Uh, no p-problem. My Name is Tyler" he gave me a shocked expression.

"You wouldn't happen to be Tyler a little Noibat I knew when I was twelve?" I was in shock that I'm with my old best friend and favorite land shark, Arthur.

"Arthur I couldn't tell it was you. You have changed after three and a half years" he just chuckled at my remark.

"Though you look way better than when I last saw you" he started staring me up and down with approving nods. I had a line of crimson along my muzzle and it's embarrassing when passer-byes can see me like this.

"Would you stop please!?" He just laughed.

"I'm just messing around. See you around Tyler" I was hopeful for that as he walked away. I was happy to see my old best friend again, but it felt like our old connection was gone. We wouldn't hang out anymore, he started dating Jason and that hurt and whenever we had a conversation it wouldn't last longer than a minute before he left. Though I knew deep down I couldn't forget him. I had a crush on him way before I left and I can't let that go. Things only started changing in the middle of the first semester of our sophomore year. Why is he paying attention now?

Flashback Over

It's the middle of spring break and I haven't left Arthur's side since it started. The reason being it's mating season for most species. Also no I don't want to have Arthur's kids it's just that we can't get enough of each other. Though he's been giving me the cold shoulder. Also, thanks to this Jason has been aggressive towards me and hasn't forgiven me for what happened on the cruise even though I keep begging him to talk to me. The whole school now knows that I'm dating a popular land shark. Michael, Zack, and Xavier have been hanging out a lot more lately and the Holy road Tournament final stage has begun and I'm so excited. Right now Arthur, Chris and I are chilling at my house watching movies; my legs are on Chris's lap and my head is in Arthur's as we are all on the couch. Also, Chris and I are actually good friends now and hang out together and he finally got over his obsession for me.

"TYLER! I NEED YOUR HELP!" Skye just busted through the front door of the house. Do we even have a lock on that door? Though her random outburst scared all of us.

"Am I interrupting something?" she had a sly smirk on her face.

"No. Anyway what do you need?" I guess I didn't notice earlier, but she was panicking.

"I have a crush on Leaf and Jax and I don't know what to do" it's not the first time I've heard this sort of question from her, but that's a story for another time. The two guys I was with left the room with a frustrated groan as if they knew the drill.

"Which one do you like more?" She let out a frustrated huff of air.

"I don't know if that's why I came to you looking for answers" how can she be so indecisive about someone she likes when she's the most independent woman I know.

"I can't choose for you. Remember when you were dating Luke, that was all your choice" granted I was the one who introduced her to Luke.

~???'s~

I was walking through Dragon corner where the most recent dragon festival was held with my friend Ashley and her girlfriend Glitz. We stopped at a sign for Goodra's tea shop.

"Okay, here it is we're supposed to meet my brother here" I stared at Glitz a shiny Umbreon as she started to walk inside.

"C' mon DUke we all said we'd meet here," said Ashley my shiny Sylveon best friend and famous battle royal fighter. I walked in and was greeted with a hello from Leaf who was sitting at the counter next to a Goodra who I assume is the owner. I sat down on Leaf's left as Glitz sat to his right along with Ashley sitting to the right of her.

"Okay, now we're all here. So what do you want from us?" Leaf smiled at me as he took a sip of his drink.

"Well, David we all know Holy Road is being held here Evergreen over the summer, right?" we all gave him an assuring nod. "I have some Pokemon I want you to meet that will also be taking part in it" I let out a groan as Ashley and Glitz started laughing.

"No, I'm heading back home to Hot Rock" as I was about to walk out I could hear voices from outside.

"Guys, here in the tea shop" I could hear groaning from multiple voices. Then a Luxray, Garchomp, Mightyena, Ninetales, and a very stylish Noivern. He was wearing a Shiny Noibat crop top with blue shorts and had his pelt tied back in dreads, along with the tips colored sky blue. The sight was a bit alluring, but I didn't stare long all I did was walk back to my seat.

"Skye it's so good to see you again!" Leaf gave the Luxray a hug and I could see the Ninetales glaring at Leaf.

"Tyler it's good to see you too! I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to see you in Alola" the Noivern gave Ashley a hug.

"Ashley I got to see you fight in the Battle Royal Dome" Ashley just squealed in excitement.

"So am I the only one that doesn't know any of these people" Everyone just stared at me.

"Bro, I'm in the same boat as you," Glitz said with an unamused face.

"How rude of me let me introduce you all" Leaf said while scratching the back of his head.

~[30 minutes of explaining]~

After Leaf introduced us I ended up getting all of their numbers because why not become friends with Pokemon you just met. Everyone split off into small groups. I started talking to the Ninetales whose name is Jax. Ever so often I caught myself staring behind him looking at Tyler, but he was clinging to the Garchomp: Arthur. Time started to pass as Pokemon started to leave the shop leaving Skye, Michael, Tyler, and me.

"Hey, we should play truth or dare?" I looked at Skye like she was crazy, but everyone else agreed. We decided to head to Evergreen Park in the open field.

"Michael truth or dare?" asked Tyler.

Michael gave a toothy grin and said "Dare" Tyler squealed.

"I dare you to let someone write something on you" Michael looked at Tyler confused and so did I. Then out of nowhere he pulled out a sharpie marker. Michael let out a sigh as Tyler started to write on Michael's arm. When Tyler was done Michael's arm read 'claims pussy for free' Skye just started laughing.

"I understand it's inappropriate, but what's so funny?" I was really confused.

"Just give me a minute" Tyler pulled out his phone and took a picture. " Okay, Michael your turn" Tyler was still typing away on his phone when he said that.

"Duke, truth or dare?"

Since they don't know much about me I replied "Truth" Michael gave me an unamused look.

"Dude, you're boring, but since you give off this tough guy vibe what is the most childish thing you have done recently?" I blushed slightly thinking about it.

"The big Nidoking is blushing," Skye said while taking a picture while Tyler was laughing.

"Last week I had buried myself underground to be alone for three hours" Skye burst in laughter.

"Dude, That's what Sandshrew do when they get scared," Michael said with a light chuckle. Tyler started to walk over to me and gave me a hug to comfort me. "Be careful with Tyler he has a boyfriend" I then remembered the Garchomp he was attached to at the tea shop.

"Michael I wouldn't be so smug if I were you" Everyone was confused about what Tyler said until Tyler pointed to a hoard of girls be lining this way.

"Shit! I wasn't supposed to deal with them until I got home" Michael ran out of the park with the girls following behind.

"Bye Mickey! Okay, Duke your turn" This dragon is very striking in all categories. I might as well learn a bit about him.

"Tyler, truth or dare?" he put his hand on his chin as if he was thinking.

"Truth" I just smirked at him while crossing my arms.

"How long have you been dating Arthur?" He blushed and his eyes turned teal.

"About five months," he says as he scratches the back of his neck.

"Oh, that long anything exciting that happened?" I was just teasing him as he was blushing harder.

"Let's not talk about that" each word he said came out slower than the last and he sounded upset. Whatever he was looking at must've made him upset. Then I saw him shuttering and I looked behind me and saw Arthur kissing Jason, more like sucking his face off but it's all good.

~Tyler's~

I don't know what I just saw. Did I just see Arthur with Jason? Everything feels so cold, my heart, my soul, my body. I then saw the two walked over to us.

"What do you want shit bags?" Skye said with fury in her eyes. I can barely feel my numb body.

"I just wanted to clarify something with Tyler" I looked at him with hope. Hope that what I saw wasn't true, that what I saw was a joke, but what came out of Arthur's mouth made me freeze. "Tyler I'm breaking up with you and to be honest, we weren't even true mates. Also, you're too shy and childish for me to hang around. Honestly, you were more like a friend with benefits to me. Jason here knows what to do and when to do it. I'm not playing games anymore especially with you" his words hit me like a ton of bricks.

'I have a favor to ask of you Giratina if you are there?' I waited for a response in my head.

"I'm always here watching Tyler. What do you need" I could hear the joy in his voice?

'I'm ready to let my negative emotions run wild' the devil sneered as I could feel a warm aura in my heart.

"Let the darkness consume your heart and give you immense power!"

~Skye's~

All I could see was a dark aura surrounding Tyler and I don't understand how it's happening. The darkness encases him as if he was mega evolving. When he came out what we saw was a monster. I pulled out a monocle that give me data on any Pokemon and it said was in devil form which is unknown. His typing changed to poison and dragon, but I wasn't able to get much information on him before he attacked Arthur and ran away causing mayhem where he went.

Giratina: welp, My job here is done

Skye: Who the fuck are you?!

Giratina: Your friends self-conscious.

Action: Cut!

Skye: What was wrong

Action: Nothing it's just that you two don't need to finish so you can head backstage.

Giratina & Skye: Okay.

Skye: *Quietly* we should really get ice cream together and hangout.

Action: That was two chapters for both out pretty quickly to my standards.

Tyler: Now don't forget to fav, follow and comment. Action here needs some help.

Action: Like your one to talk.
