Hahaha, first fanfic posted here. I hope that my fellow Ikarishipping fans like this, and that it doesn't seem too OOC or cliché. I hope you enjoy. :D

"Oh bother," Shinji grumbled to himself. Satoshi, Pikachu and co. were entering the same Pokémon Center he was in. And that meant obvious trouble. Let's just hope that he doesn't notice me... It was a hopeful thought, but Shinji knew better. The moment his rival would enter, he would probably shout---

"HEY SHINJI! Long time no see!"

Too late.

"Hey," with an immense grin, Satoshi approached Shinji, "What happened to our planned rematch? Last time I saw you, it seemed like you were avoiding me!"

"That's because I was avoiding you, blockhead." Shinji wasn't in the right mood to deal with him, let alone a rematch. Satoshi simply shrugged off the comment and continued, "If you're not in the mood, just tell me! No big deal! Besides, my Pokémon are pretty tired too, after that fight with some trainer and and and..." His words just faded away in Shinji's mind; as if they held any value to Shinji. It was already several years since the raven-haired kid started to obsessively have a mindless competition with Shinji, and personally, he felt that it was just a drag.

"Shut up, Satoshi! Don't you know you're bothering poor Shinji?"

That voice... Shinji looked up and saw a familiar but at the same time foreign face. What was her name? Danni? Day?

"... Hey are you listening Shinji? Hey, earth to Shinji!" Shinji instantly went away from his brief thought and replied back, "I'm listening, little girl."

"LITTLE GIRL?! I'll have you know Shinji, that I'm not the naive girl you've met years ago!" Hikari was red from anger, and then suddenly a thought came to her head, "By the by... do you even remember my name?"

Heavens save my soul. "... No."

And with that simple word, Hikari had flames literally dancing in her eyes, and instantly she jumped. If it hadn't been for Takeshi, Shinji would have been in the hospital and Hikari charged with third-degree battery.

"Ugh, crazy woman!" Shinji recoiled with a very wrinkled jacket and a messed up hairdo. A second more, and he was sure that scars would remained to remind him of what happened.

"Shinji, will it kill you to remember my name?!" Hikari said with her usual high-pitched voiced. "You'll probably kill me before I get to remember it..."Shinji said under his breath. "I heard that!"

With a heavy sigh, Shinji sat down and looked at the ground. "Won't you guys leave me alone for even a minute?"

"Won't you guys leave me alone for even a minute?"

Some how the words echoed in Hikari's mind. Shinji was different today, definitely different. But Hikari pushed that thought in the far corners of her mind.

"C'mon guys," Hikari heard Satoshi say, "Let's get our Pokémon healed."

She semi-consciously followed him to the table where Nurse Joy was. It wasn't as if her Pokémon were hurt; she never did the battling anyways. But the thought of her little beloveds taking a rest was a nice thought.

Suddenly, Satoshi's surprised voice rang in her ears, "Whoa, a Blissey! It's been awhile since I've seen one in here before!" Hikari turned her head around. Indeed, it was a Blissey; unlike Chansey, it's light, wing-like ruffles made it look very elegant. "It's... it's so pretty!" Hikari shrieked. It was a treat to see a cute Pokémon outside of contests. Besides, it was her first time to see a Blissey. Quickly, she checked her PokéDex to see what it said. "Blissey is the Happiness Pokémon. It is said to detect sadness of a person using its fluffy coat. When it does detect a person, the Blissey will give that person an egg which is said to make a person kind when they eat it."

"That's so cool!" Hikari said, "I hope your Happiny turns into a Blissey soon, Takeshi!" With that remark, Takeshi simply chuckled.

The nurse noticed the zealousness of Hikari, and turned to her, "Well, if you would like to try some of the egg I could have Blissey-" But she couldn't finish her sentence, as the Blissey went toward Shinji. "Why, Blissey..."

Shinji looked up and saw the pink nurse-Pokémon approach him. "Bli, blissey!" she chanted to him, as the Blissey gave him the so-called kindness giving egg. "Is this for me...?" Shinji could hardly believe what was happening. A Blissey was giving him it's egg. This was just humilating, not to mention it was in front of lightning bolt kid.

Not able to hold it any longer, Hikari shouted some encouragement to him, "Way to go Shinji! Hurry up and eat it!"

Eat it...? Some how the prospect of him eating it wasn't a very good image. But what did he have to lose? Soon, he found himself picking the eggshell away and he took a bite.

What happened next was phenomenal.

He rose up and took Hikari's hand. "Please forgive me, young lady. I believe your name was Hikari?" Shinji said, with a very bright smile.

If you can tell, the next few chapters will include a very, very freaky Shinji. Just to warn you.
