OKAY! I LOVE POKEMON! I have wanted to write Pokémon romance for the LONGEST TIME! NOW I HAVE!
Be gentle with me as this is my first POKEMON story! SORRY IN ADVANCE if I screw up anything! READ & ENJOY!

It is hard to be the most beautiful creature that anyone has ever seen; even for me it gets to be overbearing. I never asked to be or wanted to be, I just am. When I was Skitty, no one looked at me twice, I was invisible; but now that I evolved into a Delcatty, everyone watches my every move. Who knew that something as ugly as me could turn into something as beautiful as... well, me.

I live in Castelia City with my Trainer: Opal; Opal is my best friend and I wouldn't change her for the world. She got me as a birthday present when she turned 12 and we've been together ever since. Opal is now 19 and we live in our own apartment. When Opal goes to work she sends me to a daycare, I have a lot of friends there. All in all, I live a happy life.

Today when Opal dropped me off, I went to see my friend Misdreavus. "Mis," I ran up to her.

"Hey, Del," she screeched happily. "Did you see the new guy?"

"New guy?"

"YES! HE'S SIMPLY TO DIE FOR," she was excited. "He is so sophisticated and attractive; I CALL DIBS!"

"Yah, he's all yours," I smiled.

"Come on," Misdreavus practically dragged me out to the yard. "THERE HE IS!," she yelled. I turned to see a Persian laying in the shade of a tree cleaning himself.

"Really?" I was not impressed.

"YES REALLY! He's so perfect! He cares about grooming and by the size of the jewels on his collar; HIS FILTHY RICH!"

"Mis!," I scolded," Love is not about money."

She scoffed," You watch too much TV. Let's go introduce ourselves!," she pulled me towards the lounging cat.

"Mis! No!"

"HI," she practically shouted at the Persian. He flinched at her high pitched voice and dropped his paw from his mouth, finishing his grooming session," Hello."

"I'm Misdreavus!," she smiled seductively.

"I'm Persian," he replied with a bow of his head, then turned to me.

"Oh! I'm Delcatty," I smiled.

"A pleasure," he purred. He is really cute... but Mis likes him AND called dibs. "To what do I owe this lovely greeting..."

"I saw you were new and wanted to say hey."

"Im pleased you did," he responded to Mis, but as looking at me. SHIT! Why do people always like me! Mis is the one who wants you! It's like my Attract never goes off. "I would love to get to know you better Delcatty," he grinned. Shit.

Misdreavus turned to me," Surprise! Surprise!"

"Come on, Mis," I pulled her from Persian and back inside. "Goodbye," called to the Persian, who in return winked at me.

"Why does this always happen," Misdreavus was now in tears.

"Don't cry, Mis!"

"Why do guys fawn over you! Your not THAT pretty," she sobbed.

"Mis, I'm sorry! I didn't want him to!"

"I know! It just... It just hurts!"

"Why don't we go get some food," I suggested. Misdreavus nodded her head and we went to the kitchen. The rest of they day went smoothly, we only saw the Persian twice, but Mis managed to keep it together. The day was done and I was waiting for Opal to come get me when I saw her walk in with a strange man I had never seen before. She was laughing and flirting with him, I was intrigued to know his identity.

"We'll have to set up a play date for them," the man smiled.

"Yeah, Delcatty would love that," she brushed some hair behind her ears.

"How about tomorrow?"

Opal bit her lip," Yeah, why not?" I meowed so she would notice me," Oh, Delcatty!" She ran over to me and embraced me tightly. "I missed you today!" I purred to show my affection. "Oh," she stood up," this is Ryan," she gestured to the strange man. "He actually has a pokemon that goes here, too and we were setting a playdate. Sure Opal, a play date for us mean you get to spend time with this Ryan guy.

"Let me just grab him and we can introduce the two," Ryan smiled.

"Sure."

Ryan whistled into the daycare and paused a moment, seconds later he was pounced on by a giant cat. Oh no! "Stop," he laughed at the Persian licked his trainer's face happily. Ryan shook Perisan off and stood up," Opal, this is Perisan."

"He's beautiful," Opal said in awe.

"As is your Delcatty."

"Thanks," Opal blushed.

"So, tomorrow? 5 o'clock? Can we meet here?"

"Absolutely. Tomorrow. 5. Here," she repeated.

Ryan smiled and put a leash on Persian's collar," I'll see you then."

"I'll see you sooner, Delcatty," Persian purred as they left the daycare.

"Oh god!," Opal squealed. "Ryan is so cute! Delcatty, he asked me to do a sort of playdate with you and Persian, I hope you don't mind. It's just that Ryan is so cute and he cares about pokemon! How many guys in this city care about pokemon? Not many, Delcatty," Opal rambled on about Ryan but I remained silent as we walked through the city to our apartment. The next morning, I dreaded returning to the daycare. Misdreavus is going to be so mad! When I got there, I went to find Mightyena before finding Mis.

"Hey Skit," he smiled when he saw me.

"Hi Pooch," I laughed. Mightyena and I knew each other since we were Skitty and Poochyena; he was by far my closest friend, but he was always busy training. His trainer wanted him to get stronger so they could head out on a journey. I was always nervous that one day he wouldn't come back to the daycare and I will have never said goodbye.

"What's up," he asked while running on a treadmill.

"Nothing," I said casually.

He arched his eyebrow and lowered to speed," Come on, you can tell me, Skit."

I sighed," Misdreavus likes this new Persian, but Persian likes me ad tomorrow our trainers are making us do this playdate thing. I don't know what to do!"

"Tell Misreavus. Shes your friend, she wont care."

"You don't know Mis like I do, this will kill her. She always thinks that I get all the guys."

"Well, you do," he admitted.

"I know, but I don't want to!"

"Do you want him,"Mightyena asked.

I looked to the floor," Well, he is cute, cocky, egotisitcal and total jerk; just my type," I smirked.

"You deserve better than that," he said softly. "Pick a guy who is going to treat you right."

"Who says Persian won't. You're right, Pooch. I'll just tell Mis and if shes mad, she'll get over it!," I ran to go find her. "HEY MIS! MIS!"

"Hey, Del!," she smiled. "Guess what!?"

"Actually I wanted tot tell you something."

"GUESS FIRST!"

"What!?"

"Cottonee told me he likes me!"

"What!," I was shocked.

"Yeah! He says that he likes me and has forever! And now... WERE DATING!"

"What? Really!?"

"Yeah! Oh, Delcatty, 'm so happy! A guy likes me for me! I have a boyfriend!," she giggled.

"That's amazing, Mis!"

"Thanks, so what did you want to tell me?"

"Uhm, well it's about Persian! We actually are going on a playdate tonight.."

"Really?," Misdreavus seemed unfazed.

"Yeah, Opal really likes his trainer so they are using us to spend time together."

"That's great for you. Persian is a total hottie! You should snatch him up, Del!"

I blushed," Well... I do think he's cute."

"GO FOR IT! You have my blessing, I couldn't care less about him! I have Cottonee," she swooned.

After that, the day passed slowly, Misdreavus and Cottonee wanted to do couple stuff so I went of on my own to think about tonight. What if he was just being flirty and doesn't really like me? What if he does like me and Opal and Ran don't like each other? Or worse! If Opal and Ryan fall in love and Persian and I hate each other! I had been so in my own zone, I didn't realize how fast the time has slipped away; it as already 5! I dashed to the front to see Persian siting with his leash on next to Ryan and Opal who were talking and laughing. I approached them to which Opal smiled," I was starting to worry, Delcatty." She put my leash and they strolled out of the daycare, dragging us behind.

"I thought we could go to my place, I have a lot of space where they can have a good time," Ryan said.

"Sounds great," Opal said and linked arms with Ryan.

"So Delcatty," Persian spoke up," I didn't see much of you today."

"Oh, yeah... I was kind of off in my own little world."

"I saw your friend was with a Cottonee."

"Oh, that's her boyfriend," I told him.

He seemed surprised," I could have sworn that yesterday, she was hitting on me."

"She was, but I guess you weren't too much to obsess over," I joked.

"Ouch," he laughed.

We came in front of a giant hotel building," You live here?," Opal asked.

"Actually, I own the place," Ryan smirked confidently.

"You own The Victorional Hotel!?"

"Yes, Persian and I live in the Penthouse suite."

Opal was too shocked for words and we entered the lobby. It was magnificent; it was large with marble floors and pillars, the ceiling was painted to look like the sky with flying pokemon. "It's beautiful," I whispered.

"I'm glad you like it," Persian smiled as we walked to the elevator. Ryan put a key in and it took us to the Penthouse where it was larger than the lobby! The living room alone was the sixe of Opal's apartment. Ryan took his leash of Persian and Opal took mine off and they both ventured to the couch.

"Persian, why don't you go show Delcatty your room?," Ryan suggested.

Persian nodded and lead me down a hallway," Your going to love it," he said while opening the door. The room was enormous, big enough for multiple humans, let alone a single Persian. Persian's bed had silk sheets and fluffy pillows everywhere, I only had a little cat bed in the corner of Opal's room. Persians room also had some workout equipment and tons of toys to play with. "This is incredible," I smiled.

"I knew you would like it!" Persian showed me around the room, showing off all his awards and medals from his battles, his favorite toys, and his embroidered sheets.

"you really are spoiled," I laughed.

"True," he agreed.

"Do spoiled Persians ever get caught off guard?"

"No, why do you-," I hit him in the head with a pillow and laughed.

"Oh really!?"

"That's how you ant to play?!," he bit down on a pillow and swung it at me. I dodged it and threw another at him, laughing. He fell of the bed dramatically," I admit defeat!," he hid behind a pillar.

"So," I jumped off his bed," I wanted to ask you..."

"Yeah?"

"I wanted to know if this was a date or just a playdate?"

Persian smiled cockily," To my trainer, it's a playdate so he can formally ask Opal on a real date..."

"But to you..."

"To me, this is a date." My heart speed up and I felt a smile tug on my lips. "Is that what you wanted to hear? That this was real date?"

"It's just that I like you, Persian. I've only known you a total of 2 days, but still, there's something about you that just sucks me in...," I admitted. " I just didn't want to open up to you and have you think of me as a friend."

"What I'm thinking about, it's no way to think of a friend," he smiled and stepped closer to me. My heart was pounding, I hope he kisses me! PLEASE KISS ME!

"Oh really," I said as seductively as possible. " And what are you thinking," I bit my lip.

"DELCATTY!," I heard Opal call," IT'S TIME TO GO!" Why does she always call at the worst of times!

"I'm thinking o how badly I want to kiss you," his mouth traced along my neck and I forgot about Opal. His wet hot breath lingered on my fur, I closed my eyes and clenched my claws to stop myself from kissing him. I will not break first!

"Then do it," I was breathing shallowly, waiting for his lips to be on mine.

"I would, but there's one thing I do better than pleasing a female," he was now murmuring at my jawline.

"And... what's that," I was practically panting, holding back as hard as I could, but I knew I would break soon.

"Leave them wanting more," he licked my neck. I shuttered at the touch of tongue and dug my claws into his carpet; I could feel my muscles contracting, preparing for what was next, but Persian then stepped back just as the door to his room opened.

"Persian, come on. Delcatty has to go home," Ryan stepped through the threshold.

I sighed and tried to calm myself, unclenched my claws and loosened my muscles before walking past Persian to the doorway. I went back down the hall to Opal, she clipped my leash back on and I sat next to her as she said her goodbye to Ryan.

"We'll have to do this again," she smiled to Ryan.

"Actually, I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner with me tomorrow night?," Ryan asked.

"Dinner? Tomorrow?," Opal repeated him, she always did that when she was nervous.

"Or not, we don't have to."

"I would love that," she smiled. "Tomorrow, dinner, yes."

"Really?," Ryan's eyes widened with excitement. "Yes, I'll meet you at the daycare at 5 again!"

"Yes," she agreed. "That would be wonderful!"

"See you then! Goodnight, Opal," Ryan kissed her cheek.

"Goodnight Ryan," Opal stepped into the elevator.

Persian came up to Ryan and sat beside him, I almost wanted to say something to him, but the doors closed. Opal let out a happy little shriek in the elevator," Oh my god! He wants to have dinner with me!" She did a small dance and cheered. "He likes me!," she started singing," he wants to kiss me, he wants to marry me!"

I rolled my eyes, Humans. They are so redundant in their mating ritual, it's so much easier for us pokemon. We find someone we like and mate: that's it. But humans take forever in finding the perfect person: dates, moves, dinners, meeting family, sex, marriage. Too long of a courting period, it shouldn't be so complex. If you like someone, go for it! don't waste time, I certainly will not be wasting time the next time I'm alone with Persian.

SOOOOOOOOOOO!? First Chapter: CHECK! DONE! What did you think?
