Shwaaash!

The last wave's crash against the rocks snapped my attention away from the boys.

oh no...

I was staring again...

*sigh*

I gather my knees to my chest and fiddle with passing Shellos' and Krabbys with a stick. This is what I do as a hobby now. Sit around on the beach of Sunyshore to torment myself with the fact I'll never muster up enough courage to talk to my crushes. At least my Pokémon are enjoying themselves.

Out in the water, you can see my bobbing refrigerator, Rotom, having a blast with other aquatic Pokémon. My impetuous and silly Chandelure enjoys burrowing himself so his glowing, fiery orbs remain above ground. While my Whimsicott finds himself scattered among Hoppips and Jumpluffs as the wind whisk them about, Metang rests upon rocks, meditating. Shedinja takes meditating to a whole 'notha level by clearing its mind completely...so 'completely' that it shows no sign of even living (I worry sometimes). Then there's Snorunt who's always just chillin'. Pretty cool dude.

The sky had a tinge of red starting to streak the base of the horizon. An intense volleyball game has come to an end, and when the small children left, they left mini villages of sand castles for the waves and nocturnal assailants to destroy. Also realizing the time, all of my Pokémon made their way and entered their pokeballs. Except Shedinja.

"Shejin. Sheeeejinnnn. Don't tell me that gust of wind took you out!"

Damn Wonderguard.

*sigh*

"Let's get you to the Pokecenter, I ran out of revives last breeze ago."

My Rotom print bikini started to glow as dusk settled and as I was already bent over, on my way up from pick up Shejin, my face started to glow as well. There was a revive in my face, but it was being held by a hand. My eyes traveled up the arm which the hand was connected to and as I made it up the collarbone and neck, I saw a big, gleaming smile, even in the semi-darkness. This smile was on the lower portion of the handsome face, and on top sat a big, bountiful heap of red hair, which formed the biggest afro anyone would ever see.

"Ahaha, it looks like your Shedinja had a little wipeout there! Here," He motioned for me to take the revive, and offered a smile. Realizing I was still somewhat bent over, I sharply straightened up and just stared directly into his face.

Okay, I'm pretty sure it's visible this time, 'cause the blush that's burning on my face is as hot as he is!

*gasp!*

This is a total romance movie scene!

~The waves gently sweep the beach as the setting sun bathes us with its warm colors. Distant birds chirp in excitement as they encourage him to lean in for the- ~

" - revive. It's okay, I have plenty more!"

Probably noticing my goofy day dreaming expression, he cocked his head to the side slightly and arched an eyebrow. After realizing what a stupid thing I've done, I tried to redeem myself.

"Oh! I-im sorry! I uh...I um, i-i- was trying to place where I've seen you before. You look really familiar and I feel like I should already know who you are..."

Nice save?

"Ahaha, I'm sorry, I kinda forgot my manners there for a second! I'm Flint, one of the Elite Four, yada yada blah blah." He rubbed the back of his head with his free hand and had an apologetic expression, letting a grin slip as he said his last sentence.

Nice Save.

"Say do I know you? I think I've seen you around, you look kinda familiar, too."

*Squee!* you mean to tell me he notices me?

"Oh um, hehe, maybe." I stated nervously, letting my shyness takeover. Shejin was tucked lightly against my chest and my eyes found their way to the ground. During that small moment, I notice something a little off..

Hmmm...this is strange.. I see my feet...Flint's feet...and ten more toes that I don't think should be there... oh!-

My eyes shot up to look the third person in the face. A pair of aloof, blue eyes stared back.

A kricketune chirp would be perfect right about now..

Awkwaaaaard...

Breaking the awkward silence, Flint happily introduced me to my second crush. "Oh, this is my bro, Volkner." He slung an arm around Volkner's neck and teased, "Forgive his manners, it's not often he gets to hang around pretty girls. Ehehe, well, any girls for that matter!" Volkner responded by elbowing him in the gut, resulting with Flint clutching his stomach on his knees.

"Sorry about that. I'm Volkner. I'm the gym leader of this town. You should come by some time." He turned to Flint, who finally made it up to his feet. "As for pretty girls, I have one waiting for me now."

Unfortunately, he wasn't lying. On the edge of town, a girl with what seemed to be long brown hair was standing there, waving an arm in our direction. Flint raised an eyebrow while pointing towards the girl, as if he was puzzled and was making sure he understood what Volkner said. Volkner glared at him but decided not to waste any more time standing around with us and made his way to the top of the beach.

"Yeah, my point exactly! You don't hang with pretty girls!" Flint sneered when Volkner was no longer in earshot distance. "What was the point of even coming over here," he continued to mutter.

My long, black hair danced in the slight breeze that was stirring, and at this moment, I started to giggle. I mean c'mon! Here I am with the two hottest guys of Sinnoh, and they bicker like little kids! I tried to stifle my giggles back by covering my mouth a little, but it proved to be futile. Flint stopped his seething and acknowledged my presence. He gave a puzzled expression but joined me in laughter a moment later.

"Ahahaha, I'm sorry about that! Me and Volk can be a little..uh..rough on each other sometimes and we forget others are around."

"It's okay, what else would you expect from people who know each other so well?"

Deep down, I'm kinda jealous of Volkner.

As the small excitement died down, Flint perked up as if he realized something.

"Oh man! This whole time we've been talking and I didn't ask your name!"

"Aha, its fine! My name is Ami." I replied with a sincere smile. Flint beamed as he held out his right hand for me to shake (I just realized he's still holding on to that revive!) and I accepted it graciously.

"Nice to meet you Ami. Say, its gotten pretty dark, would you like for me to walk you home?"

Oh hot damn! I must be freakin' dreaming!

"Oh sure! Please do!"

I hope I didn't sound as eager as I really am...
