She was a nice girl. She was funny, cool, cute, good trainer, had a cute smile, and she did came to him in her time of need for some reason. Did she like him too? Everything about her was going through Tom's head. Jessica returned Bellsom and bent down by to Jinx and wiped off the sludge. Tom just stared at her helping his pokemon. Jessica looked at him as he looked down on her. She got up slowly and came eye to eye with him. His raven hair covered his eyes, but Jessica could still see he was in deep thought. Jessica turned around and went into the Pokemon Center. Tom returned his Jinx and fell to his knees. He did love her, he loved his best human friend.

Tom: I love you, Jessica. How do I tell you? Do you like me? We share the same interest and everything. I need you in my life.
Jessica: *walks out of the center* Tom? What's wrong?
Tom: *getting up* Nothing.
Jessica: OK, whatever you say.
Tom: You really love your pokemon.
Jessica: I don't let Bellsom battle that often so I congratulate her.
Tom: She seemed to like getting thrown up in the air.
Jessica: Yeah, it make her feel like hero. Lets go.
Tom: How did you get a fire stone for Flare?
Jessica: I have a friend who breeds Flareons and this one was strangely born a Flareon. They really didn't want to get rid of it, but I admired it so the let me have her.
Tom: Wow, how did you get your bond? I mean I can't train any of my pokemon how to do a back flip and I can't really talk to them or know what they're saying.
Jessica: Well, I was three when I got her. When I was four I got into major trouble. I somehow got into a gang fight because I got on their property. Flare felt how scared I was and came to me thinking that she should be scared too. I got my strength up and she did too. As I got stronger in spirit she got stronger physically and we beat some of the toughest pokemon in town. One day I figured out what she was saying to me so that's our bonding story.
Tom: Wow! That's amazing. All you have to do is believe in her.
Jessica: No, I have to believe in her and me. It's a friendship thing between me and my pokemon.
Tom: I get it. I with I was as good of trainer as you.
Jessica: Believe in yourself and your pokemon. As long as you treat them good they'll treat you good and love you back.
Tom: I'm shocked you aren't a Pokemon Professor.
Jessica: I really want to be a gym leader or part of the elite four or even the master. I have the skills and the bonds and guts to do it. I also want to be a singer. I have a lot of dreams, but I'll never for fill them.
Tom: I want to be a gym leader of some kind.
Jessica: Well, we have on of our dreams in common.
Tom: Really. So where do you want to go first?
Jessica: The market I need more pokeballs and I need some potions and stuff.
Tom: OK, I need to get food for my Eevee.
Jessica: What do you want your Eevee to become?
Tom: A Jolteon or a Umbreon or even an Espeon.
Jessica: Flareons are cool too, but if your Eevee's a boy it don't stand a chance with her.
Tom: Why?
Jessica: Flare's in love with Houndour.
Tom: Really? I never thought about mix breeding.
Jessica: It is a cute couple though.
Tom: I bet it is. Here we are.
Cashier: How can I help you?
Jessica: I need fifteen pokeballs and I need five hyper potions.
Cashier: Anything else?
Jessica: I have something to sell. I have a Calcium.
Cashier: Here is your 9,800P.
Jessica: Thank you so much.
Tom: I have this pokemon food.
Cashier: Hi Tom. That's 300P.
Tom: Here. Lets go.
Jessica: Okay.
Tom: Now where. Oh, there's the carnival.
Jessica: I need to get my pokemon. They love carnivals.
Tom: Okay.
Jessica: Go Kenya!
Kenya: Ferrow.
Tom: You saved her.
Jessica: I thought that I would need her.
Tom: This is a Pokemon Carnival. You got a pokemon you get everything free.

      Jessica jumped on her Ferrow and flew away. Tom watched as she flew off. She was elegant. He waited there for ten minutes before she came back. She returned Kenya and they ran to the carnival. She threw out her Flareon, Houndour, and Bellsom. Tom let out Eevee, Jinx, Ledian, and Pikachu. Jessica picked up Bellsom and Pikachu climbed up Tom. Jessica laughed. As they enter Jessica and Tom both laughed at the people trying to get in free with pokedolls. Jessica dragged Tom to the battling arena.

      A match was getting ready to start. The referee picked Jessica and a bald man also know as Blaine. Jessica screamed and ran up to him.

Blaine: Well, nice to see you again.
Jessica: Yeah, you know you're still my idol.
Blaine: How is Flare?
Jessica: The best ever. What brings you here?
Blaine: I was invited here, all the gym leaders were.
Jessica: Even Johto?
Blaine: Yes, Kanto and Johto. What are you doing here?
Jessica: I wonder over here on my journey to somewhere. Actually I was carried by Tom Kechum.
Blaine: Sweet, isn't he?
Jessica: Yeah.
Blaine: Lets use only fire pokemon. No, Blast.
Jessica: OK!

      Jessica let Houndour and Blaine threw out Magmar. Jessica smirked as she walked to her stand. Houndour showed his teeth and growled. Magmar went up closer to him. It was more like intimidating him. The referee called the battle to a start. Jessica said something in Houndour's language that no one understood. Houndour jumped to the side and bit Magmar, but Magmar slapped him off. Houndour hit the ground and could barely stand. Magmar tried to flamethrow him, but he jumped out of the way. Jessica said something else. Houndour ran faster than anyone could see and headbutted Magmar. Magmar fell down. Houndour used bite and Magmar fainted. Houndour howled and made sure that Magmar was OK. Jessica ran to Houndour and patted his head. Blaine returned Magmar and shook Jessica's hand and gave her a hug, and walked off. Jessica smiled as she watched him walk off.

Tom: Great match you two.
Jessica: Thanks.
Houndour: Houndour.
Tom: Well, lets go on some rides.
Jessica: I need to change my earrings.
Tom: Why?
Jessica: Because I do. *runs off*
Tom: Girls.
Jessica: *comes back* OK, lets go to the Ferris Wheel.
Tom: OK.
Ticket guy: Ticket, badge, or pokemon.
Jessica: Flareon.
Tom: Go Eevee.
Ticket guy: OK thank you. Your pokemon go on the one below you.
Jessica: Flareon, Houndour, Eevee, and Pikachu on the next one, and the rest after that.
Bellsom: Bell bellsom bell.
Jessica: Oh I see. You can ride with Tom and me.
Tom: What?
Jessica: She's afraid of heights and doesn't want to be with pokemon she don't know.
*they get on*
Tom: She is sweet. Is she young?
Jessica: She evolved prematurely and I was the first one that she saw so she thinks I'm her mother and trusts me the most.
Tom: She is sweet.
Jessica: Yeah, she's my baby. I'm practically her mother.
*stops at the top*
Bellsom: Bell bell.
Jessica: It'll be OK, sweetie.
Tom: She is like a little baby.
Bellsom: Bell.
Jessica: He didn't mean it like that. Tom, say sorry.
Tom: I very sorry. I didn't mean it like that. What I meant was your so cute and you act like a scared little kid with it's mother.
Bellsom: Bellsom Bell.
Jessica: She said don't make fun of her fears, but she does forgive you.
Tom: Thank you.
Ticket guy: Everyone, the Ferris Wheel is broke. Stay calm and wait patiently.
Voice: Great this is just great.
Jessica: *looks behind them* Morty?
Morty: Jessica? How unfortunate are we to get stuck on the Ferris Wheel?
Jessica: I know.
Bellsom: *starts crying*
Jessica: Oh, It's OK.
Tom: *takes Bellsom* Hey, relax. We'll be OK. Ah, come on, act like it's a game. Now, can you see the gym?
Bellsom: *stops crying and points to the gym*
Jessica: Wow, you got her to stop. She trusts you now.
Morty: Is she OK?
Jessica: Yeah, Tom got her to stop by finding things.
Tom: The Pokemon Center.
Morty: Tom Kechum?
Jessica: Yeah, this is third person she actually likes beside me.
Tom: Who else?
Jessica: Blaine and Morty is mostly all and that's because I spent a lot of time with them probably three to two weeks. I've been with you two days, good job.
Morty: It was hailing, sleeting, and snowing in two weeks, it was strange. She had to stay.
Jessica: He's right is it was weird.
Tom: Yay, you found it. Now the market.
*starts moving*
Bellsom: BELLSOM!
Jessica:*smiles* Yeah, it's moving. We won't get back on.
*everyone on the ride gets off*
Morty: *hugs her* How you been? I've missed ya. Why didn't you visit me?
Jessica: Good, I missed you too, and I didn't have time between training.
Morty: Well, I wish you would visit more. The Kimo Girls need a singer.
Jessica: Really.
Tom: I think that Eevee's hungry. You want me to take your pokemon to get food too?
Jessica: Sure, thanks.
Morty: Do you mind taking Gengar?
Tom: No.
Morty: Gengar.
Gengar: Gengar.
Morty: Go with him.
Jessica: And get me some cotton candy.
Tom: OK.
Morty: You still have that sweet tooth.

      Morty and Jessica looked close.....really close. Was he her boyfriend? He's about twenty years older, but still it's possible. Now he was scared. She might have someone in her life. This bothered Tom so much that he crashed into a wall, seven people, and two stands without even noticing it. This was something that he never really thought about much.....love. He never really realized that this was something that every person needs and wants, but when it's taken away from you it hurts. Now, he had to tell her how he felt, but how?

A/N: I love suspense stories don't you? I don't own pokemon, I only own Jessica and Tom so far.
