a confession....

"well,she did give me a few things..." he then took a book from his bag "mom's sketchbook,she always loved to draw..." he opened it and showed all sorts of oil pastel and pencil drawings of pokemon,landscapes,,landmarks and all sorts

Draco took out a box. he opened it and showed Tala their mother's vast collection of pendants,earings and bracelets. He also showed her a pin similar to the "mockingjay pin" from the hunger games and he showed her a heart locket,he opened it and inside was a baby tala picture at one side and a young Draco picture on the other.

"Aww it's so Kawaii...I got something too. It guides me in my times of need!" she said pulling up her golden locket. It had a gem the same color as Tala' eyes in the centre of one side that had Lugia on it and on the other side there was a gem the same color as Draco's eyes with Ho-oh.

"there's two things of mom's i have that i would like to give to you"he took a necklace with a locket on the end shaped like a shooting star he put it aound Tala's neck and opened it. when it opened it started to play a music box version of "sanctuary" by utada hikaru,he closed it and took out a small green box

"What's in the box?" she asked holding the necklace locket.

Draco opened it to reaveal a pure-gold ring "mom's old wedding ring,she gave it to me before she went to the authorities,said that after she did..." he hid his eyes "..she would take me to ecruteak to be away from father and to be with you,but..." he clenched his free fist

Tala put her hand on his clenched fist "Go on it's alright..." she said gently.

"i don't need it...." he took Tala's hand and placed the ring on her ring finger

Tala studied it as it shined in the sunlight "It's beautiful... but if you came to Ecruteak to visit how come I don't remember? I never forget a voice, or a face" she asked confused, it was true she could identify voices from people she heard when she was just under a year old.

Tala looked away for a moment then thought of something. "Have you got any abilities in aura?" she asked thinking of her own powers.

"That's good I thought I was the only one that inherrited that! By the way you only need to learn how to attack with aura and you've got it! I can teach you if you like?" she suggested.

Tala smiled with a nod taking the ring off and putting it in her bag. "It really was pure gold it's heavy!" she giggled. "Y'know we should let our pokemon enjoy the hot springs, what do you think?"

Draco nodded and let Fortune and Neon out

Tala let out her Aerodactyl and Kabutops out "I'd like you to meet Relic and Fossil!" she said introducing the new pokemon. Relic her Kabutops jumped into the water for a swim and Fossil her Aerodactyl sat near Tala and Draco.

Draco gave a small wave as neon placed her head on his lap

Tala stroked Neon's head for a second then pulled away to see her reaction.

Neon turned her head away "uh,sorry...she's always been a sook!"

"It's alright, I still think she's kawaii despite being so big!" Tala said with a giggle leaning against Draco's side.

Neon jumped and glared at Tala "ah jeez!"

"Sorry Neon!" she said sitting straight "I won't do that again if it makes you happy, alright?" she asked gently. Fossil walked a little closer to see Neon's reaction.

Neon turned her head away "don't bother,you're my baby sister,she should eally have a bit of manners!" he said. Neon gave him a shocked expression,but stillturned away,Fortune slapped his forehead
