“Wow!” Was all Red said, as his savior set him down carefully; her white wings ruffling slightly in an invisible breeze straight from heaven. Long red hair fell to her waist, almost hiding a pair of sparkling golden eyes, and a beautiful robe of rich ruby red fell to her sandaled feet.
He had always thought of guardian angels, abut this was the first time he had actually met his face to face.
“You should be more careful, Champion.” The angel’s voice sounded like a chorus of twinkling bells, as she laughed lightly.
“I will.” Red breathed, still awestruck. “W-What’s your name?”
“Me? I’m Lance.”
“Lance…”
If not for her wings, Lance could have passed for a normal Pokémon Trainer. Red frowned, pieces starting to click into place.
“You’re the person who saved me at the Lake of Rage, right? When the Gyarados was about to kill me?”
“Quite perceptive of you. I did it in disguise then.”
“And what about in Cinnabar when everyone was fleeing from Missingno?”
“I confess to having a hand in that as well.”
“You’ve been watching over me all this time?”
“Since you were born, yes.” Lance settled her wings. “Why? It is not uncommon for humans to have Guardian Angels, though some have Guardian Pokémon instead.”
“I’m just… well, I never said thank you.” Red blushed.
“Nonsense. It is my duty to keep you safe. I enjoy watching your life. You have a very pure soul.”
“R-Really?”
“Really. But now I must be going.” She paused to brush a kiss across his cheek, seeing his crestfallen look. “Perhaps you’ll see me again, but I advise not jumping into so many dangerous situations! It’s a lot of work to keep you safe!”
Red blushed, and put up a hand to touch the spot as Lance faded from view in a glittering of dust and sparkles.
… Amazing!
“So, you finally got to see your human today?” Clair asked. “How did it go?”
“Quite wonderfully.” Lance responded. “He’s so cute!”
Clair winked and elbowed her cousin in the ribs. “Did you…?”
“Goodness, no! I just kissed him on the cheek.” She looked indignant. “What do you take me for?”
“But you’ll see him again?” She prodded.
“Of course, if he wants me to.” The redhead retorted. “I can visit his dreams, and he’s such an accident-prone child that it’s impossible not to guard him all the time.”
“I’m happy for you then!” And she honestly was. There were humans who were a horrible trial to their Guardians, but fortunately, Red was not one of them.
Lance nodded.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, Red healed his Pokémon at the Pokemon Center and hoped to see Lance again soon.
She seemed so nice, and if she was his Angel, they were already connected, right?
* Lance is pretty… *
He grinned, and went to get ice cream to celebrate. After all, this sort of thing didn’t happen every day!

^^V I like the idea of Guardian Angels.
