A FranticShipping Christmas

As Sapphire leaped from branch to branch, poor Ruby, stuck on the ground, ran after her.

"Hey, Ruby would you hurry it up down there!?" Sapphire yelled.

"I would if you would stop bouncing around like that!" Ruby shouted hot-headedly at her.

All she did was laugh and jumped off again.

Ugh... Sometimes I wish she wouldn't be so-

But when he looked up again, she was already yards ahead. As she bounded branch-to-branch snow fell lightly to the ground. It snowed in the Hoenn region the night before. The touch of the winter time made the place seem unknown to it's residents. Though, everyone loved the winter time it brought joy, happiness, and even love...

"Hey, Sapphire! Wait up!" he called out to her.

"If you catch up to me I will-!"

Sapphire landed on not a snowy branch but one covered in frozen ice. Her shoes skidded on the surface and she fell backwards. She reached out trying to grip the branch but her hands just slipped off. She screamed shutting her eyes and awaited her faith. But to her surprise she landed softly. She felt a warm breath on her face. Opening one eye, she saw Ruby holding her with an awkward smile on his face.

"Oh.. Thanks Ruby.."

"Your.. Umm... Welcome.."

They gazed at each other but then looked away. Both of them blushed heavily.

"So.. Umm.. I should let you down now, huh..?"

"Oh umm.. Yeah I guess so..."

Milotic thumped her tail impatiently.

"When is Trainer going to be here!? It's so cold out here!" She growled still thumping her fluttery tail.

"Calm down you over grown Ekans. He'll be here, he'll with my Trainer." Blaziken answered sitting in the snow.

He's been spending so much time with her...

Blaziken retorted, almost like reading her thoughts, "You know they like each other, right?"

"Well... Not as much as your probably thinking of!"

Blaziken laughed, sending a cloud fire from her beak. The frosted air fogged from the flames.

"They'll be back..."

They sat under a tree. Cuddling from the cold.

"I didn't think you remembered.." Sapphire replied. Shyly looking away from his red eyed gaze.

"How could I forget that..?" Ruby said a bit shocked.

"Well.."

It got silent for a bit and Ruby leaned against the tree. Sapphire's back turned to him. He sighed and looked away. Then out of nowhere, she turned around, pulled his hat up, and kissed the scar on the side of his head. Surprised, he pulled his hat back down over his face. His face turned a bright red and he could hear Sapphire giggling. Pulling his hat back up, he saw a blushing Sapphire looking up at him.

"Well.." He whispered still blushing, "We should get back to town.."

"FINALLY!" Milotic called out, running to her Trainer. She saw that he was walking side-by-side with Blaziken's Trainer. Ignoring that, she nudged him but he pushed her away, to busy talking with the girl. Milotic snorted with frustration.

"Why isn't he paying attention to me?" She turned to Blaziken.

"I told you they liked each other.." Blaziken giggled staring at her.

"Well that ruined my Christmas... I thought we would be going to do some contests or something..."

"Ahh, don't worry. Just let him have some time with her."

With that Milotic slithered into the house following her love dazed Trainer. Blaziken casually walked in after them.

"Have a Merry Christmas you two..." She smiled saying it under her breath.
