Mm~. Delicious and not poisoned. He knows me so well.
I open my laptop, pulling up a website that I've been using for years now. It's a way for trainers to get in contact from completely different regions. I log in, getting a message shortly after.
(Gladion's PoV)
I sit in my room, still in my pajamas and sipping at a cup of coffee. I stare at the laptop screen, bored out of my mind.
I have no idea what I'm going to do today.
I scroll up in the conversations I've had with Dark_Fire_Ghost. She's a girl from the Hoenn region. Even though I've never met her outside of the computer, I'm pretty close to her. We've been talking since we were little. Since I was ten actually.
Arceus, it's been so long. We're both twenty now. Well, she is. I'm twenty-two, but still.
~Monday, 7:00pm.
DFG[I just heard something. I should probably go see what it was.]
AP[K.] [Shit, my sis just brought me a load of paperwork. I'll be busy when you get back.]
Monday, 11:00pm.
AP[Paperwork done! You still up] [... Hello?] [Did you forget to logout again?]

DFG[... Hey, Sil...]
AP[Fire, hey. Where'd you go last night?]
DFG[... My... My dad... h-he...]
AP[Whoa. Stop that. Don't start crying on me. I'll start crying too.]
DFG[You can't even see me...]
AP[No, but I know your face is too pretty to be covered in tears.]
DFG[... He died, Silvally!]
AP[... I'm... Are you going to be ok?]
DFG[I don't know... I might need to take some time... I won't be online for awhile...]
AP[Ok. I get it. I'll get on everyday til you get back, in case you want someone to talk to.]
DFG[... Thanks, Sil.]
Dark_Fire_Ghost has logged out.~
It's just two days short of two weeks now. Any sane person wouldn't have logged on everyday for some online friend. Guess I inherited my mother's insanity then. ... I'm just worried.

My eyes widen, and I sit up straight in my chair, nearly choking on my coffee. "What?!" I semi shout.
~AP[Fire? Arceus, it's good to see you. Well, not see you, but, like, see you online...]
DFG[I understand, Sil. It's good to see you online too.]
AP[Never skipped a day.] [So, how are you?]
DFG[Well, I just woke up, but I'm not depressed at the current moment. Oh, and my pokemon got me to laugh and smile this morning.]
AP[It's been hard then, huh?]
DFG[... Yeah.] [... I haven't really left the house since the funeral. It's funny really; my pokemon are so concerned that Magius made me waffles this morning.]
AP[Shit, I wish my pokemon would cook for me. But, I digress.] [Not leaving the house, huh?]
DFG[...] [I don't know... I'm just... I don't really want to be here anymore. In Hoenn, I mean. I've explored all of it, I don't have any friends here, and now all the relative I was close to are... Yeah...]
AP[You want to leave Hoenn?]
DFG[Kind of, but I don't really have a plan...]~
I lean back in my seat again, thinking for a moment. I take a sip of coffee before looking down into the cup. A small smirk spreads across my face, as I put the cup back down.
~AP[Come to Alola.]
DFG[What?]
AP[You read me. I can send a company jet to get you.]
DFG[Whoa, whoa, whoa. Pause, ok, Mr. "My family is rich and I'm the president of a foundation"?] [You don't even know where I live, or what I look like, or who am I at all really.]
AP[Pft. You have long caramel hair and amber eyes.]
DFG[That's a description I gave you when I was eight!]
AP[Doesn't matter. Look, I can just send the jet to the Hoenn airport. You tell them you're Dark_Fire_Ghost, and come here.]
DFG[Uh huh. No.]
AP[Yes.]
DFG[Silvally, you really want me to pack up and move?]
AP[Yes, Fire. I do. We met each other on this website TWELVE years ago. You've been through some shit, and I've been through some shit. And, you're tired of the Hoenn region.] [It's the perfect time for us to meet in real life.]
DFG[And, where am I supposed to live, Genius?]
AP[Here!] [It's a big place!]
DFG[Yeah. I get that. It's a freaking mansion outside of an even bigger building based on what you've told me.]
AP[That about sums it up, yeah.][I'm not joking, Fire. This may be some impulse decision, but I'm fully behind it.]
DFG[...]
AP[Look, I'll give you til Saturday. Then, if you haven't decided, I'm hopping on a jet and flying to Hoenn to kidnap you.]
DFG[Wow. How considerate of you.]
AP[I know right?]~
Lillie comes in my room, sighing when she discovers me still in my pajamas. "Gladion, we need to get the day started."
"I know." I sigh. "Give me a minute."
~AP[My sis is on my case about work. I gotta go.]
DFG[Are you slacking off, sir?]
AP[May~be...]
DFG[Pft. Have a good day at work, Sil.]
AP[You'll think about coming to Alola?]
DFG[... Fine. I'll think about it, but no promises.]
AP[I'll take it. See ya, Fire] [Er- You know, online.]
DFG[Yeah. See ya online, Sil]
Dark_Fire_Ghost has logged out. ~
"Was Dark_Fire online?" Lillie asks.
I nod, smiling slightly.
"That's good. I know how not being able to be there for her was driving you insane." Lillie says, matching my smile. "Anyways, there's a lot of work to get done today, Mr. Aether President."
I sigh. "Why can't I just slack off for once?"
"Because, you're the boss. Now put on actual clothes already." She says before leaving the room.
You'll never stop being bossy, will you sis?
