Favourite Hobbies

"This looks funny...what did you put in it...?" Misty asked skeptically, raising a spoon of the food to inspect it.

"Oh, nothing really," Gary replied. "Just some potato, broccoli, peas, and celery...nothing out of the ordinary..."

Knowing quite well that the girl hated carrots and peppers, Gary decided on just a dash of revenge for her questioning his soup. Granted, he wasn't as good as a chef as Brock may be, but he still was a much better cook than that Ashy Boy. It may be a childish tactic, but hey, it still works, doesn't it?

"Oh and I may have put in some carrots and pepper..." he continued just as Misty placed the spoon in her mouth, pretending to remember the exact ingredients that he used.

The effect was spontaneous.

"...ack!"

While he thought he could keep a straight face through it all, Misty's reaction proved too much for the young Oak to handle. Disregarding how un-lady like it was, she immediately spat out the soup, dashing out of her chair to grab the cup that Gary currently had in his hand. Glaring at him, she filled up the glass for a drink, making sure to swish the water around in her mouth to get rid of the taste that those horrid vegetables would leave behind.

Finding the red head's reaction quite amusing, Gary couldn't help but laugh, which earned him another glare.

"What are you laughing at, Oak?" the girl questioned, arms folded and eyes slightly narrowed.

"Nothing really Red," he replied with half a smirk. "It's just...you're so gullible and your reaction was just absolutely priceless!"

"W-wait... You... Why you little... YOU'RE IN FOR IT NOW, OAK!" Misty exclaimed, comprehending exactly what had happened.

Gary just shrugged his shoulders in reply, a smirk on his lips and a twinkle in his eyes. Messing with Misty was definitely one of his favourite hobbies.


Apparently Misty does actually dislike carrots and peppers... Her reaction was definitely a bit more on the extreme side...but it was fun to write^^
