Authors Note: My memory on Pokémon is quite hazy, so some stuff is going to be a bit wrong, characters will be slightly OOC, but at the end of the day, this is an AU. Lastly, I do not own anything to do with Pokémon.
Hope you all enjoy this fanfic, it's been quite a long time since I last wrote a fanfic!
As people rushed across the roads of the busy streets, cars flying by as red turned to green; it was just another typical day in Viridian city. On one of the many streets, a figure weaved their bike in and out of the crowd with expertise, the wind playing with golden red locks pulled back into a pony tail. Blue yet emerald like eyes sparkled in the sun, loose denim jeans fluttering due to the speed at which the figure went down the streets.
Tyres could be heard screeching, which caught the attention of a young beautiful brunette. Blue eyes turned from curious to happy, as the red head pedalled towards the other, waving enthusiastically.
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop shopping in the men's department?" The young brunette said, placing a delicate hand on her hip, one eye brow raised as the other figure hopped off the bike.
"I do tend to let my mind wonder when you start posing like this." The red head said, imitating the girl's actions mockingly.
The brunette's eyes widened as she slapped the other's arm with a pout. "Quit it Misty, I'm being serious! How is it that you're the one going around dressed as a lad, yet I'm the one who guys seem to be avoiding..." The brunette sulked, crossing her arms and turned her back to the red head known as Misty.
Misty laughed and slung an arm over the other's shoulder, her cheek rested against the other's cheek, and with a grin she said, "Come on May, you know you love the envious looks you get from other girls!"
With that comment, the girl known as May elbowed Misty, and pushed her away, then poked her in the shoulder with her index finger.
"Stop being so full of yourself Misty Waterflower, I say these things for your own good-" Misty groaned and rolled her eyes, raising her hands defensively.
"For my own good, help me find a suitor, get my sisters off my back, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I get it May! Honestly…you're just as bad as my sisters. I moved out to get away from their ranting, not to have someone else do their job for them…" Misty sighed as she closed her eyes, shaking her head, just to open them and see May right in her face glaring at her. She began to take a couple of fearful steps backwards as May took the same amount of steps forward.
"Well if you know it, then I suggest you do it young lady. When I make a move on a guy, you know what they say? 'She's off limits...Gary or Ash will have your head for trying...' or something like that! You know how frustrating that is?" Misty sweat dropped and laughed nervously as May threw her arms up, letting out of a huff in frustration.
"Hey, hey come on May, it's not my fault people get the wrong idea...I'm...uh...sorry?" Misty said, however, luck was not on her side, as May growled and stomped her foot.
"Sorry? Sorry! That's all you got to say? You're just so...hopeless!" May cried, turning on her heel, she began to walk off, leaving Misty to stand there for a few seconds, blinking. Snapping back to reality, she grabbed her bike and chased after the other female, trying to cheer her back up, but failing miserably, but she never stopped trying to cheer up her friend.

As Misty casually strolled along campus grounds of the university she attended, she couldn't help but close her eyes and enjoy the warmth of the sun beaming down on her skin, her mind wandering off thinking of someone important to her. However, her day dream was short lived as an upbeat song began to blare loudly. Pulling out her cell phone, she flicked it open, the screen indicating that the caller has withheld their number from her. She raised an eyebrow and hit the answer button, placing the communication device by her ear; she spoke, "Talk to me."
"I see you..." The caller breathed out teasingly, Misty looked around her, unable to catch sight of anyone she recognised or holding onto a cell phone.
"You what-" As she turned around again to check her surroundings, a brown haired figured tackled her, putting her into a headlock and giving her a rough noogie. Laughing heartily, he continued his actions, whilst Misty struggled to get out of the hold, her hand trying to whack the other's head, but missing and instead hit the ying yang pendant that was attached to the necklace around the attacker's neck.
Eventually Misty managed to get out of the head lock and huffed, trying to fix her now messed up hair. Her attacker laughed, holding onto his stomach, being unaffected by Misty's glare. Eventually his laughs subsided into chuckles, where he was able to speak, wiping away a tear of joy, he grinned at the red head.
"Every time... you do realise that right Red?" The red head only glared harder at the male and pulled her hair band off, holding her ponytail as she roughly pulled the loose strands back and once again retying her hair.
"You messed up my hair Gary! Why you got to be such a jerk some times?" Misty growled as she went to straighten out her yellow vest and brush off imaginary dust.
"I was just playing with you...jeez, you're such a woman sometimes you know that?" The male known as Gary argued, shrugging nonchalantly. Misty's eyebrow twitched as she punched him in the arm, pouting. "I am a woman!"
This made Gary smirk and flick her forehead, "Could've fooled me." He said in a sarcastic tone, only to get another punch from the red head, he rubbed his arm, even though it did not hurt him, but he liked being dramatic.
"Are you trying to test my patience today?" Misty said, turning on her heel in a similar manner May did to her earlier that day, and began to walk off. Gary did a little jog to catch up to the other girl, putting his arm around her shoulders easily due to their height difference. Misty chose to ignore the other male, but made no efforts in releasing herself from his hold, just keeping her eyes averted away from his cheeky smile.
"Now, now, why would I want to do that to my number one girl eh? And besides, I let you hit me, it really hurt!" Gary said, feigning pain as he said the last part, Misty only rolled her eyes, and it was then she turned her attention back to the cocky male, scrunching her nose, she elbowed him in the ribs, making him gasp as he was caught off guard and then walked ahead of him. However, Gary was quick to catch his breath back and caught up to the girl easily.
"Serves you right." She muttered, just loud enough for Gary's ears to pick up the comment. "Neh neh neh" Gary mocked childishly in a squeaky voice, this at least caught Misty's attention where he quickly let on a bright smile.
"So anyway, the guys and I were thinking of a little poke-kick-about after lectures if you're up for it?" He said, as they both continued walking, this time side by side, earlier playful events forgotten.
"Gary, you know my Pokémon aren't that strong when it comes to poke-kick-about. Get us playing volleyball or anything to do with the water, and we'll put up a good fight. Anything but poke-kick-about..." Misty groaned as her hands instinctively went to the pokeballs attached to her belt, brushing them gently. Gary noticed her actions and chuckled, knowing how his friend gets when her Pokémon try to play poke-kick-about, especially with his friends, considering Misty loves her water Pokémon, whereas Gary and his friends have a lot of Pokémon that are more suited to the ground.
"Aww come on Misty, it's just for laughs, it's not a real match or anything. Besides...Ashy-boy will be there." Gary winked, nudging the red head playfully, making Misty's eyes widen and her cheeks to flush slightly. Shoving the other playfully, she groaned. "How many times do I have to tell you? I do not like Ash in that way! Where on earth did you get that idea to begin with anyway?"
"Now come on Red, I see the way you look at my boy. I'll set you up if you want as long as you fix up the way you look of course." Gary said, grinning cheekily as he picked at her yellow vest, looking her up and down, now with a look of distaste.
"I don't see anything wrong with what I'm wearing." Misty huffed, crossing her arms, but she began to feel conscientious about the way she looked under Gary's judgemental stare.
"You look like a lad, the least you could do is lay off the briefs." Gary said as he circled the girl, Misty placed both hands on her hip, tilting her head to one side, then turned her head to one side, her nose in the air. "Hn, well, I have you know I'm quite happy with what I wear, and you should appreciate the briefs I wear, it is Calvin Klein after all, I do believe you, yourself is a Calvin Klein fan."
"Yes but I'm also a fan of Agent Provocateur, but you won't see me prancing around in a silk pink bra with black lace now would you?" Gary said, making Misty giggle at the mental image now forming in her head.
"You know I do believe May has lingerie from that store." Misty grinned; Gary smirked, running a hand through his spiky brown hair. "Our dear May has good taste indeed. And speaking of our beloved chick how is her dating scene these days?"
"No good thanks to you, and I'm the one getting the blame for the rumour that 'you' spread!" Misty said, pointing accusingly at the male, who grabbed the hand pointing at him, lowering it, and using his other hand tapping it in a comforting manner.
"Why Miss. Misty Waterflower, I am extremely hurt by your harsh accusations. Why, to think that I would ever do such a thing to…" Gary's grip tightened as he broke into another round of laughter, bending forward as he laughed, Misty shook her head with a sigh.
"I'm sorry, I can't even finish that seriously... but I can't believe she hasn't figured it out it's me who started that rumour. I mean I thought it was fairly obvious." Gary sighed, letting go of Misty's hand and wiped an imaginary tear away. Misty huffed and crossed her arms, clearly not amused.
"Clearly not…otherwise I wouldn't be the one on the receiving end of her whinging!" Misty unconsciously straightened her clothes. "And she goes blaming my dress sense…" she muttered under her breath, causing Gary to raise a perfectly shaped eyebrow as she crossed her arms, a pout on her face now.
Gary started to circle Misty, making her feel self conscious as her crossed arms tightened; her blue emerald eyes followed the handsome brunette's movements. "To be honest Red and I say this with as much love as I can possibly muster…" Gary started, finally stopping in front of Misty, looking her up and down, "you'll probably end up with a chick instead of a dude at this rate, straight guys don't want people to think they're homosexuals in the making…" Gary said, trying to hold a serious face.
"Not everyone's a perv like you Oak… If a guy can't like me for who I am then they're not worth my time. If a guy purely wants to get with me for sex, then he can go to hell." Misty said as she jabbed her index finger in the male's shoulder making him take a couple of steps back. Turning away from him, she raised her head high, nose in the air, eyes closed with a final suck in of air, puffing out her chest in a superior manner.
Gary took a few steps towards Misty placing his arm over her shoulder, looking directly into her face with a smirk, "Was that your attempt at insulting me?" Misty turned her head away from Gary but made no attempts to pull out of his arms. Gary could only chuckle at her actions. "…Because you pretty much suck at it, but I was wrong…" This caught Misty's attention as she opened her eyes, turning to Gary with wide eyes as she assumed he was going to apologise for his comments.
Gary let go of Misty, standing directly in front of her, he looked down into her eyes seriously, causing Misty's breath to hitch in her throat. Gary leant close to her face, and Misty felt her cheeks getting hot with every inch closer until she could feel his breath on her face.
'He smells so fresh…like mint…and aftershave…' Was what ran through the female's mind as she stared directly into those enchanting eyes.
"It's not your dress sense that's gonna scare away the guys…its how you resemble an old hag that's gonna keep them far, far away from ya." Gary said, and as he said the words "far, far away" was when he began to run off, leaving the girl stunned at first, which changed instantly into anger as she fumed and chased after the other, shaking her balled fists at him screaming at the top of her lungs, "Gary Oak! You get back here right now and I'll show you how it feels to know your future has no descendants!"
