He tends to enjoy solitude more than he thinks he would nowadays. Being consistently followed by fans and the like. It gets tiring over time, he reflects. What would things be like, if he refused to take his faithful Charmander-turned-Charizard, and refused to take the PokeDex? Yes, things would be different, but how? One cannot change the past.

(angsty much?)

"He-ey Red!"

Jesus Christ. It's Blue.

"Silent as ever, I see."

"..."

"Yeah, well either way I gotta tell you something."

"...what."

"He speaks! Yeah, anyways, there's like..this..uh…"

Blue trailed off awkwardly mid-sentence, while Red cocked an eyebrow.

"...go on."

Blue's face was now as red as his friends' namesake.

"I like Leaf okay!? You don't have to rub it in!"

Red smirked and said

"Tell that to her, not me."

"Uuuuuuuuuugh."

"Do it."

"FINE."

Blue stomped off but paused half-way.

"AND I'LL TELL WHITE THAT YOU LIKE HER!"

Ah. Shit.

Damn Red. Always messing things up.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

"What are you screaming about?"

Crap. Leaf. Uh. THINK!

"Uh,...hi Leaf."

"I'll ask one more time, why are you screaming?"

"He's screaming because he likes you!" Yelled a voice from the distance.

DAMN IT.

For the second time that day, Blue's face went redder than possible. Leaf giggled, leaned forward and pecked him on the cheek. Then he fainted.

"So Red, who do you like?"

"..."

The twins were sitting under a willow tree near a stream. Blue, still unconscious, lay in an awkward position, having been dragged next to them.

*snort* "Yeah, I think I know anyways."

Of course, as destiny would have it, White just had to walk by then.

"Don't you dare-"

"Whi-iteee! Come sit here with us!"

White gave an awkward glance at Blue and said,

"What's with him?"

Red chose to speak up then.

"Leaf kissed him and he passed out and-"

"And I'm helplessly in looooove."

"Why do I keep on getting cut off.."

Leaf moaned, upset that he woke up so soon.

"Yeah we'll just go now," She yelled, while dragging Blue after her.

Smooth Leaf, smooth.

It was just Red and White now.

"So what's up?"

"Meh, nothing. Leaf and Blue decided it would be a great idea to go and guess who liked who."

"Oh really."

It's more of a statement, rather than a question. He can feel the anticipation.

"So who do YOU like?"

"..."

"Aw come on, you can tell me!"

He grins and leans forward.

"You."
