*Chapter 50: Closure

                                    

                                          
"So you decided to battle me last" Caitlin crawled out her bed and walked over to me while yawning "You were confident even if you wanted to come and talk to me. Why didn't you think you might've not gotten the chance and lost to someone else?"
"I was hoping that didn't happen" she gently smiled. 
"I like your honesty. It's alright... I saw your victory in getting through the other three, but don't think I'm going to be easy on you" 
"I don't expect you too" she chuckled and walked up to me to hold my dream catcher "Why did you bother? You don't know me, yet you've helped save me" 
"I don't know you, but the moon goddess watches over everyone. My powers are able to see what others can't see. She felt defenseless, unable to help you. You may not be religious or not, but Arceus knew she was worried about the darkness taking over an innocent child. With a single drop from the moon, the Pokémon holding you up right now remains in this dream catcher. She will keep you on your feet until you've fully recovered. It won't be easy to build up that strength, but you've build your own without the darkness separately. I've seen dreams of your life... and even if it isn't my business, only I was able to see what's needed to be seen" she took out her Pokéball by levitating it from her bed "You are very sweet and compassionate. I've grown to like you as I watched you in my sleep. You are loved in every way, even if you are not remembered" she nodded "There's always a way"
"Thank you... I just wish I knew I was being helped. You didn't have a choice to see someone else's past, but I'm grateful. You've been a big help" I bowed "I would like to start this battle" 
"Of course. Winter break is on its way and we should take care of this before our vacation. Let's take care of this, shall we?" We separated to start our battle in the battle field. 
"Let's go! Froslass!" My Froslass I received as a gift from Cynthia came out her ball and faced the Reunilus Caitlin sent out. 
"Even if you are pretty much alive, ghost Pokémon are still attached to you" she stated. 
"Is that a bad thing?" She shook her head. 
"No, in fact... The darkness fed on your love for horror movies. That energy alone was able to attract ghost type Pokemon. I mean... have you seen Shauntal?" Yeah... When I went into her chambers first a few days ago, she had so many books on every genre, but her favorite was horror. When she discovered that I liked that genre too, she got so excited and started talking about her favorite books for a long while before we could start our battle. Her ghost Pokémon seem to be attracted to her love of horror, which amazed me that it's the energy that Pokémon are attracted too. 
"Yeah... She let me borrow some books on horror. I'm actually excited to read them" Banette gave me a book to look over "I have one psychic type Pokémon and a dragon type, so I'm happy my real energy can have any Pokémon type accept me. I'm very happy" Caitlin smiled and got the battle started. 
Due to having mostly ghost types, Frillish, Chandelure, Rotom, and the biggest Banette in my collection, and Oricorio as a psychic type,, battling against a psychic type user was easy. I'd say the most difficult to fight was the fighting type user I battled the other day. 
"Well done" Caitlin smiled "I seen this coming. Congratulations... but don't think just because you beat the elite four means you won. You still have the champion to beat" She walked up to me "I'll escort you to the main stairs to go and see her. I nodded and followed her outside the chambers where the rest of the elite four members were waiting for me. 
"Well, look at that. You got through" Grimsley, the dark type user, commented, fixing his hair. 
"A little lady like you did great" Marshal, the fighting user, patted my shoulder.
