Chapter 2

We had finally arrived in Striaton City; it was such a big and colourfull town.

All: It's a city!
Sonia: How inconsistent are you?!

"So where to now?" Pearl asked,

Tomoko: Her love interest's pants. That's where they all go.

"Well I guess we should head to the Pokémon connoisseur union building." I replied, "Alright well do you know where it is?"

Miyuki: She's too dense to battle. Do you really think she knows where some building is?

I turned to look at Pearl as I then blushed. "Er… No" Pearl just sighed again.

Miyuki: Told ya.

"Well I guess we should ask for directions." I agreed as we then headed to the Pokémon Center.

Benimaru: Well, at least he has some common sense, so there's a plus.

"Hello and welcome to the Pokémon Center, how may I help you?" Nurse Joy asked. "Well we need to find our way to the Pokémon connoisseur union building" Pearl replied. "I can help you there" A voice spoke from behind us. I turned around to see a guy with light green hair and what appeared to be a waiter outfit.

Sonia: Cilan. Don't tell me that she has the hots for Cilan.
Benimaru: I'm starting to miss the specials that I took part in.

"Really thanks, that helps us out a lot." Pearl smiled, "It's no problem at all after all I am a Pokémon connoisseur myself, but where are my manors,

Tomoko: They're next to your town houses.
Manic: *plays a rimshot*
Sonia: Thank you, Manic!
Manic: Yep!

my name is Cilan and I am one of the Gym leaders here in Striaton City." Cilan replied. "My name is Pearl and this is Topaz she is an A-rank Pokémon connoisseur" Pearl turned to look at me.

Miyuki: Because Pearl's not as interesting as Miss A-rank Connoisseur over here!

All I could think was that Cilan looked so familiar. "Topaz… It is you…" Cilan stared in shock as he then smiled. "It has been a long time Topaz but it's great to see you again."

Benimaru: *facepalms* Oh, the clichés...
Sonia: You mean to tell me... that they're childhood friends?
Miyuki: *slumps in her seat* Ugh.

"Cilan… It is you! I can't believe it, how long has it been?" I gleamed as I ran past Pearl to greet my old friend.

Tomoko: *as Topaz* Pearl! Get out of my way, you third wheel! I've found the vessel that I'm supposed to leech off of!

"Too long, I can't believe you're back in Unova and that you became a Pokémon connoisseur and an A-rank at that." Cilan replied.

Miyuki: Yep, heap all of that good praise on her because she's so special.

"Well it was because of you that I wanted to be one, I have been working hard and I hoped that I would see you again…" I felt tears well up in my eyes.

Sonia, Benimaru: *stare at the screen with unamused looks on their faces*
Tomoko: *grumbles* Where's my stupid barf bag...

"What's wrong are you okay?" Cilan asked.

Miyuki: *mops Topaz up* Nope.

Pearl placed his hand on my head "Calm down it's just a reunion, either way lets get going." Pearl sighed.

Sonia: Oh, Pearl. I'm so happy that you have a working brain.

"Alright, how about you come with me to the gym and we can get you guys some lunch." Cilan smiled. "Sounds good to me" Pearl replied, I nodded as I felt myself blush again. My first love… He was standing right in front of me… What should I say…? What should I do? My heart was pounding out of my chest and I knew in that second that what they say is true, first loves never really die.

Miyuki, Tomoko: *making snoring noises*
Benimaru: Oh, boy.

We had arrived outside the gym; it was really big and quite fancy. "Welcome to the Striaton gym, please make yourselves at home." As soon as Cilan opened the door all we could see was… A café? "Welcome back Cilan, who are those two?" A guy with blue hair asked. "She's cute is she here for a gym battle?" A guy with red hair asked.

Sonia: *sighs* We got it, fic. She's cute. I'm also annoyed.

"This is Topaz and her friend Pearl, Topaz came here many years ago and she is now a Pokémon connoisseur and Pearl is from the Sinnoh region.

Benimaru: *as Cilan* Oh, here's Miss Wonderful! Oh, and here's some guy. *normal voice* Are you kidding me?

These two are my brothers Cress and Chili, the three of us are the gym leaders here." Cilan introduced us. "It's very nice to meet you both" I bowed. "So this is the famous Topaz Cilan told us about." Cress smiled as he walked over to me. "She really is a cute one, good going Cilan." Chili grinned.

All: *sighs in annoyance*
Tomoko: Oh, here we go with this crap.

"Wha?" I blushed. "Guys it's not like that, we were friends a long time ago." Cilan blushed a little.

Miyuki: Yeah, and I'm Shaq's sister.

"Sure sure I remember what you said on how she was your first" Cilan then covered Chili's mouth as he then pushed him aside.

Benimaru: Her first what?
Tomoko: *bites a popsicle*
Benimaru: *cringes* Okay, that's a wonderful hint there.

"So what would you two like to eat?" Cilan asked franticly.

All: Oh, we know what she wants to eat...

"Anything I'm starving" Pearl sighed as he sat down at the table. "I'm sure anything you make will be great" I smiled.

Sonia: Topaz's lips, meet Cilan's butt.

"Alright then we will get you our new special." Cilan winked as he and his brothers then took off. "So Topaz… Care to fill me in on how you know these weirdoes?" Pearl gave me a sharp look.

Miyuki: *moans* Oh, not the backstory again!
Tomoko: I need a drink.

"It's not like I was trying to hide anything from you but…

Sonia: *scoffs* Yeah. Sure.

I came here long ago and met a boy; he told me his dream of wanting to become a top Pokémon connoisseur. He also told me many stories and we became friends, but soon after I had to return to Kanto and that boy happened to be Cilan. It was because of him I became a Pokémon connoisseur." I explained.

Benimaru: Yeah, that's nice. Uh-huh.

"I get it now, I had always wondered why you became a Pokémon connoisseur, after all they are not common anywhere outside of Unova." Pearl replied.

Miyuki: She probably only did it because of twu luv... oh, Jesus Christ, this is so lame.

"True… But I am very happy to see him again" I felt my face get hot. "Oh no you better not be falling for him" Pearl glared. "What?" I turned bright red.

Tomoko: That's it, I want Pearl to be a riffer. Hell, I want him to take my place right now.

"Foods up" Cilan spoke as he placed a tray of food on our table. Cress brought over soda and Chili brought over a dessert. "We hope you both like everything" Cilan replied. "Wow everything looks amazing" I spoke as my face lit up.

Sonia: Granted, they are wonderful chefs and waiters, but criminy. And what the hell are they eating?
Benimaru: Cardboard.

"I do have to admit it tastes great." Pearl agreed. "Did you guys really make all of this?" I asked.

Miyuki: *sarcastically* No, it was delivered by Domino's.

"Cilan did, he's a really great chef" Chili replied. "Though we are pretty good ourselves, but yes Cilan is quite the chef." Cress added.

Benimaru: Of course. The love interest is always better than his "peon" brothers.

"It would be great to eat like this everyday, after all Pearl and myself aren't the greatest of chefs… Truthfully we both suck." I sighed.

Tomoko: No, she's better than Pearl because she has these. *points to her breasts*

"She speaks the truth…" Pearl agreed as he continued to shove the sandwiches in his mouth. "How long have you been traveling together?" Cilan asked. "About two months now I think…" I replied. "Yeah about that, why?" Pearl asked.

Sonia: Because he wants to travel with Miss Special over here.

"Well truthfully I always wanted to travel and if you two wouldn't mind… Would it be okay if I came with the two of you?" Cilan asked. "Really?" my eyes lit up. "Yeah I guess that would be okay." Pearl replied.

Sonia: See?
Miyuki: Wait, where's Ash?
Sonia: He doesn't exist, Miyuki. This is a fic based on Pokémon Special. Sadly, she did rip off the anime a little bit, so... yeah.

"I hope that is okay with you two" Cilan then turned to his brothers. "We always knew you wanted to go, and with a cute companion like Topaz why wouldn't you." Chili winked.

Benimaru: *sighs* Oh, Jesus. How much shilling does she need?
Tomoko: I don't know, but it's getting on my last nerves.

"Take care of yourself and be sure to come back and visit" Cress added. "I will" Cilan smiled as he then turned to look at me. I felt my face get hotter as I tried to drown it in soda pop to cool me off… Didn't work I ended up choking.

Miyuki, Tomoko: Yes!

"You're hopeless" Pearl sighed.

Sonia: Well, that's obvious. She can't battle, she thinks with her loins, and she can't drink soda without hacking up a lung. Is this the Bella Swan of this fic?
Benimaru: I thought that she had to be selfish to qualify for that, Sonia.
Sonia: Oh. Maybe the selfish trait will show in a chapter or two, then.

"Well then I guess it's a good thing I will be coming with you" Cilan laughed. I blushed harder but truthfully I couldn't be happier.

Tomoko: *annoyed* Oh, just do him, you horny puddle of crap!

After the three of us finished eating we left the gym and headed to the Pokémon connoisseur union building.

Miyuki: *rubs her neck* Well, that was fast. Did they inhale their food?
Sonia: *also rubs her neck* I guess so. Oh, that hurt.

"Well here we are" Cilan stated as we stood outside a huge building. "What floor? Pearl asked, "Well the 6th floor is where the president is, isn't that who you need to be meeting with?" Cilan asked.

Benimaru: Why does she need to see the President?
Sonia: Because she's special.

"Oh yes it is, but I don't want to worry you guys I can just go by myself" I stated. "Are you kidding you wouldn't even find the elevator…"  Pearl proclaimed. "Don't say that I'm sure she can find it by herself." Cilan came to my defense.

Tomoko: Oh, please. She's so dumb, she'll probably fall down the elevator shaft.

"Sadly… Pearl is probably right… Thanks for trying but maybe Cilan should come with me." I replied.

Miyuki: Elevator sex!
Sonia, Benimaru, Tomoko: *looks at Miyuki*
Miyuki: Heh.

"Sounds good to me" Cilan agreed, "Well you two have fun I am going to go contact Professor Rowan" Pearl waved as he then dashed the other way.

Tomoko: Oh, great. Now we'll have to hear her gush... pun intended.
Miyuki: *snickers*

"Well let's go in then" Cilan smiled as he led me to the door.

All: *smirking* Are you sure that it's an actual door?

It was really amazing inside and there were so many people.

Benimaru: Since the people inside didn't fawn over how cute she was, she promptly ignored them.

The two of us got in the elevator and were heading up to the 6th floor. "So what is your meeting about?" Cilan asked. "Well see the reason I cam here is that it is the last region on my journey to become a top Pokémon connoisseur and well this was the birth place of the profession. I am well known in Kanto for it, then again no one else really does that…

All: *stare at the screen*
Sonia: Of course. You have to be oh so special and unique. Oh, get out of here with that inane nonsense.

Either way the President wants me to give him some information on the other regions and has a gob for me here apparently." I explained.

Benimaru: A "gob"? I... I don't... ugh. *facepalms*
Tomoko: Now what is so special about her that the damn President wants her?
Miyuki: Well, she farts sunshine and rainbows. Of course everyone wants to kiss her butt for that.
Tomoko: My lips aren't touching anyone's butt cheeks, Fujiwara. And she can forget it.

"That's quite amazing Topaz I am impressed.

All: *sighs in annoyance*
Miyuki: She easily impresses them. Oh, I'm starting to hate her.

Though I am an A-rank myself I have never traveled before so I am looking forward to accompanying you." Cilan replied as he gave me his usual smile. We had the arrived at the top floor and begun my meeting with the President.

Sonia: *as Topaz* Did you guys know that I had a meeting with the president? Of course you did! Now let me say it again!

Miyuki: *dumbfounded* Okay... yeah.
Sonia: Uh... why is that link there?
Benimaru: I think our Suetiful narrator just had a malfunction.
Tomoko: I had a feeling that she was a robot, anyway.
