Pokemon Falkner x Skyla: Kiss on the Cheek
Back again but this time with something that needed to be drawn. Now as for the story you may notice it will be somewhat the same as the Volkner and Elesa pic I will post next. However I've made it so it's two different stories. Also for the concert that will happen I didn't make it a full one like I do in my fan fics since it would be too long. However for the songs that play they have links to them that you can open by right clicking on them. Also you don't have to listen to them but I would for the songs Beautiful Liar, Wedding Dress, and True Light. This is because they're all good songs. Note that the first and third one don't have an English Version, but I plain to do my own sometime in the future. Also some lyrics had to be changed.

What would come as a surprise to both of the Flying type Gym Leaders was the fact that a concert was to be held at the place they were staying at. And what would happen at the end of it between both of them. This concert was being put on by Nicholas and some of his Pokemon. Corrine would also be helping by singing as well.
The male human was wondering if maybe the female wanted to go with him to this. It would be more fun with her and perhaps he would learn a bit more about the female in terms of what kind of music she liked. That was one thing they hadn’t talked about yet. Of course Pokemon were allowed to come with the Trainers to this event. By now Falkner had a feeling that his Pidgeot and her Swanna had a thing for the other. They were the opposite genders and could according to the breeding guide have kids of their own.
However it wouldn’t be until three days were left that Falkner finally managed to work up the courage to ask Skyla. He was standing outside the door of the room she was staying at. The male took a deep breath and tried to relax his tense muscles. “You’ve go this,” he muttered under his breath and than knocked on the door. The female emerged a few seconds latter.
"Hi Falkner,” she answered kindly, amused and curious to see his face which was already red.
"Um hey," he responded, doing his best to hold her gaze.
"So what bring you by?" she asked tilting her head cutely to the side.
"Just go with it!" thought the male. "Don't think about it!" He cleared his throat.
“Skyla…l… I… I wanted to ask you…"
He had hardly gotten that out when her eyes flashed happiness causing him to pause again. The male’s head turned toward the ground as he struggled to finish. "Yes Falkner?” He found that the female had gotten closer to him, looking at him with curiosity.
"I… I was thinking…" he stuttered nervously, still looking down. "M-maybe we could… you know… go to the gig together…" The Falkner felt his whole body tense up with fear, dreading her response.
Skyla wrapped her arms around him, holding the male tight. His arms timidly went around her. "I would love to," she whispered into his ear, her breath ticking his skin as the other Gym Leader spoke those words. The female then pulled back looking at him with such a happy smile.
"Oh… okay then," Falkner stammered, relief going through his body. "Great! So… um, I'll come get you when it’s time, okay?" Skyla nodded. "I'll… um… leave you be to have some peace." The two broke off their hug and the male quickly walked away while she closed the door behind her.
"She actually wants to do it!" he thought. He remembered what she said and the stupidest of grins came onto the vulpine's face. "It is a date. Me and Skyla… How did I pull it off?"
The female in the meantime was in her room and grinning from ear to ear. “Falkner just asked me out on a date…" she thought.
"What took him so long?" she muttered out loud. By that it meant he should have asked her out a few days ago. But better late than never.

The night came at last. Falkner couldn’t help but still feel a bit nervous. Yes it was just a date; but with Skyla. The male than decided not to worry about it and just have fun at this with her. At least their Pokemon were allowed to attend this. Just to make sure his Pidgeot was ready, the male human groomed the Flying type until his feathers shown. “At least you’ll be ready for Swanna,” Falkner told his Pokemon.
When it was close the two made it to Skyla’s room. After knocking on the door the female human emerged with Swanna behind her. The female Pokemon had also been groomed for this but also had a single flower accessory. But this was nothing to how Skyla looked. Her hair was the same but it shown a bit. The female also wore a sky blue tank top along with pants that matched. And if Falkner didn’t know any better she had some perfume on or a sweet scent at least.
“Hey there,” she stated with a smile. The female could see that the male had pants on that went with his top. Falkner just blushed and rubbed the back of his head.
“Uh… hey,” he managed to responded. Skyla giggled and took his arm.
“Well, shall we?” Both Gym Leaders and their Pokemon made it to the room where this would take place. One that they would visit again when another Trainer came with her fiancé in the future. The two made it to the room and could see other Pokemon along with the Gym Leaders who had come. They even noticed Volkner and Elesa here as well. She also was holding onto the other male’s arm. And he was blushing but not as much as Falkner.
“Oh here, I should introduce you to my friend,” said Skyla to Falkner. She lead him over. “Hey Elesa.”
Both she and the other Gym Leader turned to look. “Oh hey Skyla. Nice to see you here as well. Who’s your… friend?” Elesa had a teasing grin on her face.
“This is Falkner. He uses Flying types like me.”
“Oh that’s cool. Nice to meet you.”
“Same,” Falkner. “What kind do you use?”
“Electric types.”
“I see,” was all the male said. “So who is with you?”
“Volkner, another one who uses the same types as me.”
“A pleasure,” said Skyla with a smile on her face to the male human next to her friend. She could see already the two had a thing for each other and was happy for Elesa. Skyla could also see Luxray and Emolga interacting with each other just like Pidgeot and Swanna were.
“Same,” Volkner responded.
“So, it this a date you two are on?” asked Elesa. The question made Falkner go bright red.
“He asked me to this, so yes,” answered Skyla.
“She really thinks that?” wondered the guy who was with her. “I’ll be damn. She thinks this is a date. Maybe I really do have a shot with her.”
“Well that’s good,” commented Elesa.
“What about you and Volkner?” asked her friend. The male did blush harder but kept his cool better than Falkner.
“Yeah, why not?” he stated. “I did ask her to this after all.” The female next to him grinned.
Just before anything else could be said, the lights dimmed turning everyone’s attention to the stage. Nicholas, Corrine, and his Pokemon that played in the band came onto the stage to the applause and cheers of the audience. The female performer was wearing a headsets but the Pokemon had ones that when spoken into would make the sounds they made into actual human words. This was so that way they could sing backup and the humans who would be in the audience would be able to understand them. Nicholas was the lead singer, and played a little bass. Corrine acted as a female singer. The Pokemon who played instruments were Machamp on the drums, Breloom on the electric keyboard, Mawile on the saxophone that could also do different kinds of wind instruments, Ampharos on the electric guitar, Sceptile on the electric fiddle, Floatzel on the bass guitar when Nicholas didn’t play it, but did the electric guitar when his Trainer did, Hawlucah also on the electric guitar, and a Sudowoodo who was the percussionist and did things like the cowbell and tambourine.
“Hello to all and welcome to the show!” stated the male human in a regular mike. He would sometimes need his hands. “We hope you enjoy tonight since it’s going to be… a good night.”
With that the band began to play I’ve Gotta Feeling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSD4vsh1zDA ). Almost everyone knew this song. The lights which had been died began to get brighter and brighter as the verse got closer. Then after the intro Nicholas began to sing.
Nicholas: I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
A feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night

Nicholas and Corrine: A feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night

Nicholas, Corrine, Floatzel, Machamp: Tonight's the night, let's live it up
I got my money, let's spend it up
Go out and smash it like oh my God
Jump off that sofa, let's get, get off
Corrine: I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down and go out and just lose it all
I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go
Let's go way out spaced out and losing all control
Nicholas, Floatzel, Machamp: Fill up my cup, mazel tov
Look at her dancing, just take it off
Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof, and then we'll do it again
Nicholas: Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it
And do it and do it, let's live it up

Nicholas: 'Cause I gotta feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night

Party every day, p-p-p-party every day
Nicholas and Corrine: And I'm feelin', woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
I gotta feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
Nicholas: Woohoo
The song came to and end and those watching applauded and cheered. After it had died down, Nicholas picked up his bass guitar. “Alright, now let me show you what I can do.” He counted off and the band began to play Sunshine of Your Love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uDc3LPqHhA ). Corrine stepped to the side as the crew got into the swing of the song. Then after the intro the male human began to sing.
It's gettin' near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes.
I'll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you darling soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.
Everyone watching thought this sounded great.
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.
I'm with you my love,
The light's shinin' through on you.
Yes, I'm with you my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you darling now,
I'll stay with you till my seeds are all dried up.
Nicholas’s face was just one of concentration.
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.
The bridge came on and the lights flashed in time with the beat of the song. Falkner and Skyla in the meantime were trying their best not to look at the other. For some reason they couldn’t help but think of them being talked about in this song. It made them blush hard but smile at the same time. Meanwhile their Pokemon were enjoying the show as well. The Flying types were up on rafters made for the Flying types watching the show. They had a great view of everything.
I'm with you my love,
The light's shinin' through on you.
Yes, I'm with you my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you darling now,
I'll stay with you till my seeds are all dried up.
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
And I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.
The song came to an end and everyone cheered for the band. Corrine then stepped up. “Now it’s my turn to sing,” she stated. The song chosen was Come Clean (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=690Fa5ERNxM ). After the into, she began to sing.
Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned
'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
was my life
I defy
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean
The female sure had a good singing voice.
I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin
'Cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Then always staying in
Feel the wind
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean
Everyone was watching on with smiles. They were enjoying this being sung by Corrine. Nicholas just watched on with love.
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming...
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean,
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming clean
Let's go back
Back to the beginning
The song came to an end and everyone cheered for her. Nicholas just came forward and the two nodded since they weren’t dating yet by this point but would be within a year. More songs came on but then the male human stepped up to speak into the mike. “And now we’re doing a song where Machamp will handle the rap part since I don’t have it down. This song is not yet a year old at the time of us performing it. Yet I feel it will become quite the hit. Now I want to make this clear. This song doesn’t necessarily mean lovers of the same sex lying. It could be about a guy not telling a girl how he feels about her, or someone marrying someone they don’t even love and not being truly happy. It can apply to her as well. But for some it’s not too late.” Falkner and Skyla wondered if he meant them. “All I’m saying is that it is better to confess the truth on how you feel about someone instead of living a lie. Or before it’s too late to them.” The song quickly came on which was Beautiful Liar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKKy7Q-ZjX0 ). The male human began to sing right away.
Nicholas: This is a beautiful lie
And it is my last lie
Even if it hurts to death
I am hiding myself under a mask for you
Machamp: I see myself in the mirror and I ask myself
Will it really make you happy if I let you go?
I’ll throw myself away completely because you need quiet time to yourself
Did I say those things without even meaning it?
As I replay your face when you screamed go away
I’m tainting our memories that were beautiful
I haven’t imagined a life without you yet but please be happy
So that at least my lie can shine
Both: I’m letting go of your tightly held hands
But my heart is still the same
But I’ll let you go
Both: I’m letting go of your hands
But my heart is still the same
Machamp: I think it’s best for you if I end it right here
Nicholas: This is a beautiful lie
And it is my last lie
Even if it hurts to death
I am hiding myself under a mask for you
It’s alright if you leave me
I want you to be happy
Oh I’m
I’m a beautiful
And I’m a beautiful liar
Machamp: You keep shedding tears in front of me
It was an unexpected line that led to the next chapter
You told me to take back the words I spit out
As you hold onto my face
Then you collapsed off your feet
This isn’t the future I thought of
It seemed like a sin to look at you like a lonely tied up one
So I’m swallowing up my feelings and letting you go
You must live better than me, promise me
But the moment I said that, you turned around
Nicholas: I won’t hang onto you, I will smile
This is
Machamp: So this is
Nicholas: Me
Machamp: Me
Nicholas: don’t hesitate anymore
Leave me
This is a beautiful lie
And it is my last lie
Even if it hurts to death
I am hiding myself under a mask for you
It’s alright if you leave me
I want you to be happy
Oh I’m
I’m a beautiful
And I’m a beautiful liar
Machamp: It’s time for me to give you
The last bits of my heart
The fact that we loved is beautiful
Both: It’s time for me to give you
The last bits of my heart
The fact that we loved is beautiful
Nicholas: Me with iron shackles on my legs
Is more like me than ever before
Machamp: (You turned around, ran to me
Told me not to say stupid lies
As you smiled in front of me)
Some of the females watching were crying.
Nicholas: It’s a beautiful pain
Just letting you go
I have to kill myself inside
Swallow my tears
And put on a smiling mask
I feel so relieved now
So please don’t worry about me
Oh I’m
I’m a beautiful
No, a cowardly liar
The song came to an end with the girls crying since the song had been so beautiful. The males had thought so as well and it had spoken to all the ones who had come on dates; both Pokemon and human. Everyone cheered and applauded for Nicholas. More songs came next and then the leader of the band stepped up with more Pokemon that belonged to him and Corrine that stood on two legs.
“And now this next song might be viewed as someone complaining they missed their chance to marry the one they wanted to. I still think it’s a good song and a way to state do not loose that chance. But if it should happen, try to move on.” The song Wedding Dress began to play (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRvuFVoHhr8 Music starts at 0:27). The melody being played on the piano sounded beautiful. After the into Nicholas began.
Some say it ain't over till it's over
But I guess it's really over now
There's something I gotta say before I let you go
Listen...
Can't believe what's goin' on
Gotta keep my cool, be calm
When I heard you and he was screamin' out of control
All I can think about is "No, no, no... he won't
hurt the one I've cared for so long, long... Hell, no."
I know we're done, and now it's none of my concern but how
can two be windin' out from only weeks in goin' out
Just makes me feel that what we had was real
Could it be or is it too late? (Oh, oh baby)
The other Pokemon joined him in the dance moves.
Baby!
Listen to your heart, it won't let you down
Cause you should be my Lady!
And now that we're apart love will show how
Life carries on...
I've never felt so strong
Life can lead us to a happiness never ending
If we just know that we belong to each other
Never worry, grow as we go
See you in your wedding dress , dress
I can see you in your wedding dress
I see you walking down in your ... (wedding dress)
I can see you in your wedding dress (Oh, yea~)
I was never perfect no
But I'd never let it go to a point I'm ragin', throwin' making you uncomfortable
What he didn't, did to you was unacceptable
You claimed everything was okay. That's impossible
Just know I'm here for you
All clear for you from night to sun
God, I've been near to you, the feel of you gives me a rush
It makes me feel that what we have is real
It could never be too late oh yeah yeah
Baby!
Listen to your heart, it won't let you down
Cause you should be my Lady!
And now that we're apart love will show how
Life carries on...
I've never felt so strong
Life can lead us to a happiness never ending
If we just know that we belong to each other
Never worry, grow as we go
See you in your wedding dress
I can see you in your wedding dress
I see you walking down in your ... (wedding dress)
I can see you in your wedding dress (Oh, yea~)
The audience in the audience but especially the humans who had a thing for the person they were with could understand the pain of not getting with the one they loved. And to not be like the guy in the song who had losted the one he loved to another.
Baby girl you won't regret
Come along just take my hand
Let's start this journey livin' life so beautiful
This happy hope that we spread, love and see
It goes deeper so deep from my heart (Whoa oh oh oh oh)
I've never felt so strong
Life can lead us to a happiness never ending
If we just know that we belong to each other
Never worry, grow as we go
See you in your wedding dress
I can see you in your wedding dress
Never let go... never let go
oh yeah
The song came to an end. The audience cheered and applauded, it had been a good song. Falkner swore right than and there that he wouldn’t loose Skyla to anyone else in his mind. True it was too early to think about marrying her, but to have the female human by his side was a good start. A few more songs came on and then Nicholas spoke one last time. “Okay, we’ve got one last one for you. We hope you’ve enjoyed this.” The lights dimmed as the song True Light began to play (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63sXMnv9AmQ ). It slowly began to build and the lights slowly turned up. Everyone just listened; they had never heard of this song before and wondered what would happen. Nicholas began to sing the song beautifully.
Darkness of white you can,
through the sadness take your flight,
and become the wings that pierce the veil,
spreading strong and true tonight.
The band began to play the main part. The audience already like this song.
Brought into the light at last,
by the cold exposing sun,
I was granted freedom, tame
to become the chosen one.
Through the mirror, night reflected, and miraculous to see,
my soul threw away the mask, that hides the deeper me.
Reveal the soul inside,
shred the truth with all your lies,
hope, despair and grace,
hold the common face,
a truth you can not hide.
Heed to the burning call on the sure and swifted wing
hear your hearts desire, like a burning fire,
and fly back to the beginning
Everyone was following along with cheers. Nicholas began the next verse.
In this world of love and hate, where the wind blows like a blade,
two young hearts of grace and beauty, decisions start to fade,
And on my journey, for deception, and the pain is all I see,
I’m seeking the righteous path to find the truth in me.
The bridge came next. Falkner couldn’t help but think of him and Skyla flying on the wind on the backs of their Pokemon. Together and happy.
Vanish with the fake light,
born into the true light,
within these hands.
Breaking the dark of night,
And piercing through the painted white,
cut it all away from yesterday,
till' a new era's in sight.
Unlock the heart within,
and let it spread it's wings and soar,
rising up in flight, through the night of white,
and fly on forever more.
The song came to an end to the shouts and applause of the audience. On stage Nicholas and the band just bowed, and bowed again. The concert had been a success.

The end of the concert found Falkner and Skyla walking back to her room. Their Pokemon were back in their Pokeballs. Both Gym Leaders talked about what had happened and which songs had been their favorite. It was a lot of them to their surprise. The two also in their heads were happy this had been such a success. They could tell the other had liked spending time with them.
The two stopped by the door to the room. Skyla smiled up at Falkner. “Thanks for the date. I had a lot of fun with you.”
“Yeah… me to,” he managed to say. Both were blush, him more so than her. “I’ll um, let you get some sleep.”
“Wait,” she whispered. The female leaned up since the male was a bit taller than her. Skyla’s soft lips placed a sweet, loving kiss on Falkner’s cheek while her arms stayed behind her back. “That’s for inviting me.” Both could see how badly the other was blushing now. “Goodnight…”
“Goodnight Skyla,” Falkner stated softly. She went into her room, but not before looking back at him one last time until the door was closed. The male slowly walked back to his room, touching the spot that had gotten her lips. Now Falkner knew he had more than a shot with Skyla. Now the only thing to do was find the place and work up the courage to ask her out.

I hope you've enjoyed.

What would come as a surprise to both of the Flying type Gym Leaders was the fact that a concert was to be held at the place they were staying at. And what would happen at the end of it between both of them. This concert was being put on by Nicholas and some of his Pokemon. Corrine would also be helping by singing as well.
The male human was wondering if maybe the female wanted to go with him to this. It would be more fun with her and perhaps he would learn a bit more about the female in terms of what kind of music she liked. That was one thing they hadn’t talked about yet. Of course Pokemon were allowed to come with the Trainers to this event. By now Falkner had a feeling that his Pidgeot and her Swanna had a thing for the other. They were the opposite genders and could according to the breeding guide have kids of their own.
However it wouldn’t be until three days were left that Falkner finally managed to work up the courage to ask Skyla. He was standing outside the door of the room she was staying at. The male took a deep breath and tried to relax his tense muscles. “You’ve go this,” he muttered under his breath and than knocked on the door. The female emerged a few seconds latter.
"Hi Falkner,” she answered kindly, amused and curious to see his face which was already red.
"Um hey," he responded, doing his best to hold her gaze.
"So what bring you by?" she asked tilting her head cutely to the side.
"Just go with it!" thought the male. "Don't think about it!" He cleared his throat.
“Skyla…l… I… I wanted to ask you…"
He had hardly gotten that out when her eyes flashed happiness causing him to pause again. The male’s head turned toward the ground as he struggled to finish. "Yes Falkner?” He found that the female had gotten closer to him, looking at him with curiosity.
"I… I was thinking…" he stuttered nervously, still looking down. "M-maybe we could… you know… go to the gig together…" The Falkner felt his whole body tense up with fear, dreading her response.
Skyla wrapped her arms around him, holding the male tight. His arms timidly went around her. "I would love to," she whispered into his ear, her breath ticking his skin as the other Gym Leader spoke those words. The female then pulled back looking at him with such a happy smile.
"Oh… okay then," Falkner stammered, relief going through his body. "Great! So… um, I'll come get you when it’s time, okay?" Skyla nodded. "I'll… um… leave you be to have some peace." The two broke off their hug and the male quickly walked away while she closed the door behind her.
"She actually wants to do it!" he thought. He remembered what she said and the stupidest of grins came onto the vulpine's face. "It is a date. Me and Skyla… How did I pull it off?"
The female in the meantime was in her room and grinning from ear to ear. “Falkner just asked me out on a date…" she thought.
"What took him so long?" she muttered out loud. By that it meant he should have asked her out a few days ago. But better late than never.

The night came at last. Falkner couldn’t help but still feel a bit nervous. Yes it was just a date; but with Skyla. The male than decided not to worry about it and just have fun at this with her. At least their Pokemon were allowed to attend this. Just to make sure his Pidgeot was ready, the male human groomed the Flying type until his feathers shown. “At least you’ll be ready for Swanna,” Falkner told his Pokemon.
When it was close the two made it to Skyla’s room. After knocking on the door the female human emerged with Swanna behind her. The female Pokemon had also been groomed for this but also had a single flower accessory. But this was nothing to how Skyla looked. Her hair was the same but it shown a bit. The female also wore a sky blue tank top along with pants that matched. And if Falkner didn’t know any better she had some perfume on or a sweet scent at least.
“Hey there,” she stated with a smile. The female could see that the male had pants on that went with his top. Falkner just blushed and rubbed the back of his head.
“Uh… hey,” he managed to responded. Skyla giggled and took his arm.
“Well, shall we?” Both Gym Leaders and their Pokemon made it to the room where this would take place. One that they would visit again when another Trainer came with her fiancé in the future. The two made it to the room and could see other Pokemon along with the Gym Leaders who had come. They even noticed Volkner and Elesa here as well. She also was holding onto the other male’s arm. And he was blushing but not as much as Falkner.
“Oh here, I should introduce you to my friend,” said Skyla to Falkner. She lead him over. “Hey Elesa.”
Both she and the other Gym Leader turned to look. “Oh hey Skyla. Nice to see you here as well. Who’s your… friend?” Elesa had a teasing grin on her face.
“This is Falkner. He uses Flying types like me.”
“Oh that’s cool. Nice to meet you.”
“Same,” Falkner. “What kind do you use?”
“Electric types.”
“I see,” was all the male said. “So who is with you?”
“Volkner, another one who uses the same types as me.”
“A pleasure,” said Skyla with a smile on her face to the male human next to her friend. She could see already the two had a thing for each other and was happy for Elesa. Skyla could also see Luxray and Emolga interacting with each other just like Pidgeot and Swanna were.
“Same,” Volkner responded.
“So, it this a date you two are on?” asked Elesa. The question made Falkner go bright red.
“He asked me to this, so yes,” answered Skyla.
“She really thinks that?” wondered the guy who was with her. “I’ll be damn. She thinks this is a date. Maybe I really do have a shot with her.”
“Well that’s good,” commented Elesa.
“What about you and Volkner?” asked her friend. The male did blush harder but kept his cool better than Falkner.
“Yeah, why not?” he stated. “I did ask her to this after all.” The female next to him grinned.
Just before anything else could be said, the lights dimmed turning everyone’s attention to the stage. Nicholas, Corrine, and his Pokemon that played in the band came onto the stage to the applause and cheers of the audience. The female performer was wearing a headsets but the Pokemon had ones that when spoken into would make the sounds they made into actual human words. This was so that way they could sing backup and the humans who would be in the audience would be able to understand them. Nicholas was the lead singer, and played a little bass. Corrine acted as a female singer. The Pokemon who played instruments were Machamp on the drums, Breloom on the electric keyboard, Mawile on the saxophone that could also do different kinds of wind instruments, Ampharos on the electric guitar, Sceptile on the electric fiddle, Floatzel on the bass guitar when Nicholas didn’t play it, but did the electric guitar when his Trainer did, Hawlucah also on the electric guitar, and a Sudowoodo who was the percussionist and did things like the cowbell and tambourine.
“Hello to all and welcome to the show!” stated the male human in a regular mike. He would sometimes need his hands. “We hope you enjoy tonight since it’s going to be… a good night.”
With that the band began to play I’ve Gotta Feeling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSD4vsh1zDA ). Almost everyone knew this song. The lights which had been died began to get brighter and brighter as the verse got closer. Then after the intro Nicholas began to sing.
Nicholas: I gotta feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night

Nicholas: 'Cause I gotta feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night

Nicholas and Corrine: And I'm feelin', woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
I gotta feeling, woohoo, that tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
Nicholas: Woohoo
The song came to and end and those watching applauded and cheered. After it had died down, Nicholas picked up his bass guitar. “Alright, now let me show you what I can do.” He counted off and the band began to play Sunshine of Your Love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uDc3LPqHhA ). Corrine stepped to the side as the crew got into the swing of the song. Then after the intro the male human began to sing.
It's gettin' near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes.
I'll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you darling soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.
Everyone watching thought this sounded great.
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.
I'm with you my love,
The light's shinin' through on you.
Yes, I'm with you my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you darling now,
I'll stay with you till my seeds are all dried up.
Nicholas’s face was just one of concentration.
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.
The bridge came on and the lights flashed in time with the beat of the song. Falkner and Skyla in the meantime were trying their best not to look at the other. For some reason they couldn’t help but think of them being talked about in this song. It made them blush hard but smile at the same time. Meanwhile their Pokemon were enjoying the show as well. The Flying types were up on rafters made for the Flying types watching the show. They had a great view of everything.
I'm with you my love,
The light's shinin' through on you.
Yes, I'm with you my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you darling now,
I'll stay with you till my seeds are all dried up.
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
And I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.
The song came to an end and everyone cheered for the band. Corrine then stepped up. “Now it’s my turn to sing,” she stated. The song chosen was Come Clean (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=690Fa5ERNxM ). After the into, she began to sing.
Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned
'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
was my life
I defy
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean
The female sure had a good singing voice.
I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin
'Cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Then always staying in
Feel the wind
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean
Everyone was watching on with smiles. They were enjoying this being sung by Corrine. Nicholas just watched on with love.
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming...
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean,
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
Let the rain fall
Let the rain fall
I'm coming clean
Let's go back
Back to the beginning
The song came to an end and everyone cheered for her. Nicholas just came forward and the two nodded since they weren’t dating yet by this point but would be within a year. More songs came on but then the male human stepped up to speak into the mike. “And now we’re doing a song where Machamp will handle the rap part since I don’t have it down. This song is not yet a year old at the time of us performing it. Yet I feel it will become quite the hit. Now I want to make this clear. This song doesn’t necessarily mean lovers of the same sex lying. It could be about a guy not telling a girl how he feels about her, or someone marrying someone they don’t even love and not being truly happy. It can apply to her as well. But for some it’s not too late.” Falkner and Skyla wondered if he meant them. “All I’m saying is that it is better to confess the truth on how you feel about someone instead of living a lie. Or before it’s too late to them.” The song quickly came on which was Beautiful Liar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKKy7Q-ZjX0 ). The male human began to sing right away.
Nicholas: This is a beautiful lie
And it is my last lie
Even if it hurts to death
I am hiding myself under a mask for you
Machamp: I see myself in the mirror and I ask myself
Will it really make you happy if I let you go?
I’ll throw myself away completely because you need quiet time to yourself
Did I say those things without even meaning it?
As I replay your face when you screamed go away
I’m tainting our memories that were beautiful
I haven’t imagined a life without you yet but please be happy
So that at least my lie can shine
Both: I’m letting go of your tightly held hands
But my heart is still the same
But I’ll let you go
Both: I’m letting go of your hands
But my heart is still the same
Machamp: I think it’s best for you if I end it right here
Nicholas: This is a beautiful lie
And it is my last lie
Even if it hurts to death
I am hiding myself under a mask for you
It’s alright if you leave me
I want you to be happy
Oh I’m
I’m a beautiful
And I’m a beautiful liar
Machamp: You keep shedding tears in front of me
It was an unexpected line that led to the next chapter
You told me to take back the words I spit out
As you hold onto my face
Then you collapsed off your feet
This isn’t the future I thought of
It seemed like a sin to look at you like a lonely tied up one
So I’m swallowing up my feelings and letting you go
You must live better than me, promise me
But the moment I said that, you turned around
Nicholas: I won’t hang onto you, I will smile
This is
Machamp: So this is
Nicholas: Me
Machamp: Me
Nicholas: don’t hesitate anymore
Leave me
This is a beautiful lie
And it is my last lie
Even if it hurts to death
I am hiding myself under a mask for you
It’s alright if you leave me
I want you to be happy
Oh I’m
I’m a beautiful
And I’m a beautiful liar
Machamp: It’s time for me to give you
The last bits of my heart
The fact that we loved is beautiful
Both: It’s time for me to give you
The last bits of my heart
The fact that we loved is beautiful
Nicholas: Me with iron shackles on my legs
Is more like me than ever before
Machamp: (You turned around, ran to me
Told me not to say stupid lies
As you smiled in front of me)
Some of the females watching were crying.
Nicholas: It’s a beautiful pain
Just letting you go
I have to kill myself inside
Swallow my tears
And put on a smiling mask
I feel so relieved now
So please don’t worry about me
Oh I’m
I’m a beautiful
No, a cowardly liar
The song came to an end with the girls crying since the song had been so beautiful. The males had thought so as well and it had spoken to all the ones who had come on dates; both Pokemon and human. Everyone cheered and applauded for Nicholas. More songs came next and then the leader of the band stepped up with more Pokemon that belonged to him and Corrine that stood on two legs.
“And now this next song might be viewed as someone complaining they missed their chance to marry the one they wanted to. I still think it’s a good song and a way to state do not loose that chance. But if it should happen, try to move on.” The song Wedding Dress began to play (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRvuFVoHhr8 Music starts at 0:27). The melody being played on the piano sounded beautiful. After the into Nicholas began.
Some say it ain't over till it's over
But I guess it's really over now
There's something I gotta say before I let you go
Listen...
Can't believe what's goin' on
Gotta keep my cool, be calm
When I heard you and he was screamin' out of control
All I can think about is "No, no, no... he won't
hurt the one I've cared for so long, long... Hell, no."
I know we're done, and now it's none of my concern but how
can two be windin' out from only weeks in goin' out
Just makes me feel that what we had was real
Could it be or is it too late? (Oh, oh baby)
The other Pokemon joined him in the dance moves.
Baby!
Listen to your heart, it won't let you down
Cause you should be my Lady!
And now that we're apart love will show how
Life carries on...
I've never felt so strong
Life can lead us to a happiness never ending
If we just know that we belong to each other
Never worry, grow as we go
See you in your wedding dress , dress
I can see you in your wedding dress
I see you walking down in your ... (wedding dress)
I can see you in your wedding dress (Oh, yea~)
I was never perfect no
But I'd never let it go to a point I'm ragin', throwin' making you uncomfortable
What he didn't, did to you was unacceptable
You claimed everything was okay. That's impossible
Just know I'm here for you
All clear for you from night to sun
God, I've been near to you, the feel of you gives me a rush
It makes me feel that what we have is real
It could never be too late oh yeah yeah
Baby!
Listen to your heart, it won't let you down
Cause you should be my Lady!
And now that we're apart love will show how
Life carries on...
I've never felt so strong
Life can lead us to a happiness never ending
If we just know that we belong to each other
Never worry, grow as we go
See you in your wedding dress
I can see you in your wedding dress
I see you walking down in your ... (wedding dress)
I can see you in your wedding dress (Oh, yea~)
The audience in the audience but especially the humans who had a thing for the person they were with could understand the pain of not getting with the one they loved. And to not be like the guy in the song who had losted the one he loved to another.
Baby girl you won't regret
Come along just take my hand
Let's start this journey livin' life so beautiful
This happy hope that we spread, love and see
It goes deeper so deep from my heart (Whoa oh oh oh oh)
I've never felt so strong
Life can lead us to a happiness never ending
If we just know that we belong to each other
Never worry, grow as we go
See you in your wedding dress
I can see you in your wedding dress
Never let go... never let go
oh yeah
The song came to an end. The audience cheered and applauded, it had been a good song. Falkner swore right than and there that he wouldn’t loose Skyla to anyone else in his mind. True it was too early to think about marrying her, but to have the female human by his side was a good start. A few more songs came on and then Nicholas spoke one last time. “Okay, we’ve got one last one for you. We hope you’ve enjoyed this.” The lights dimmed as the song True Light began to play (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63sXMnv9AmQ ). It slowly began to build and the lights slowly turned up. Everyone just listened; they had never heard of this song before and wondered what would happen. Nicholas began to sing the song beautifully.
Darkness of white you can,
through the sadness take your flight,
and become the wings that pierce the veil,
spreading strong and true tonight.
The band began to play the main part. The audience already like this song.
Brought into the light at last,
by the cold exposing sun,
I was granted freedom, tame
to become the chosen one.
Through the mirror, night reflected, and miraculous to see,
my soul threw away the mask, that hides the deeper me.
Reveal the soul inside,
shred the truth with all your lies,
hope, despair and grace,
hold the common face,
a truth you can not hide.
Heed to the burning call on the sure and swifted wing
hear your hearts desire, like a burning fire,
and fly back to the beginning
Everyone was following along with cheers. Nicholas began the next verse.
In this world of love and hate, where the wind blows like a blade,
two young hearts of grace and beauty, decisions start to fade,
And on my journey, for deception, and the pain is all I see,
I’m seeking the righteous path to find the truth in me.
The bridge came next. Falkner couldn’t help but think of him and Skyla flying on the wind on the backs of their Pokemon. Together and happy.
Vanish with the fake light,
born into the true light,
within these hands.
Breaking the dark of night,
And piercing through the painted white,
cut it all away from yesterday,
till' a new era's in sight.
Unlock the heart within,
and let it spread it's wings and soar,
rising up in flight, through the night of white,
and fly on forever more.
The song came to an end to the shouts and applause of the audience. On stage Nicholas and the band just bowed, and bowed again. The concert had been a success.

The end of the concert found Falkner and Skyla walking back to her room. Their Pokemon were back in their Pokeballs. Both Gym Leaders talked about what had happened and which songs had been their favorite. It was a lot of them to their surprise. The two also in their heads were happy this had been such a success. They could tell the other had liked spending time with them.
The two stopped by the door to the room. Skyla smiled up at Falkner. “Thanks for the date. I had a lot of fun with you.”
“Yeah… me to,” he managed to say. Both were blush, him more so than her. “I’ll um, let you get some sleep.”
“Wait,” she whispered. The female leaned up since the male was a bit taller than her. Skyla’s soft lips placed a sweet, loving kiss on Falkner’s cheek while her arms stayed behind her back. “That’s for inviting me.” Both could see how badly the other was blushing now. “Goodnight…”
“Goodnight Skyla,” Falkner stated softly. She went into her room, but not before looking back at him one last time until the door was closed. The male slowly walked back to his room, touching the spot that had gotten her lips. Now Falkner knew he had more than a shot with Skyla. Now the only thing to do was find the place and work up the courage to ask her out.

I hope you've enjoyed.
