Cynthia

Even after she and Caitlin had "officially" begun their relationship (what did that even mean, anyway, to be official?) not much seemed to change. They still didn't see much of each other, what with the distance between Sinnoh and Unova. Perhaps their emails to each other got a little raunchier, and included some private pictures as attachments, but that was about it. The things admired about the younger trainer were still present.

It did make Cynthia feel a little different as she arrived in Undella Town for their circle of skilled female trainers' customary girls' outing, though. This would be the first year that instead of being a collection of friends loosely joined by their talent and love for Pokemon, two of them were a couple. (That were official about it. She'd always had suspicions about Skyla and Elesa, to be honest.)

It was odd, though. There were usually more bicycles outside when she got here, but she didn't see any. Was this the wrong date? No, this was exactly the date Caitlin had given her to show up.

She fiddled with the door handle to the villa. It opened, so clearly someone was here.

"Hello?" She called out. "Caitlin, are you here?"
