A Sentence for an Embrace
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon Adventures/Special.
To be honest, my opinions on Oldrival is rather dubious; I think it could turn out to be a great pairing, but as far as the main storyline is concerned there doesn't seem to be much progress on it, and I'm also rather lost on how to make this pairing actually work. I guess the main problem is Green being such a Mr. Cool-guy... oh well, not that it's gonna stop me from writing this down, okay? So don't kill me yet, Oldrival fans!
1. Disappearance
He had often wished she would just disappear and leave him alone, but whenever that actually happens he'd start getting restless.
2. Bitter
Somehow, Red wasn't surprised to see a smallest hint of a smirk on Green's face as he retaliated against Blue's unending pestering.
3. Sale
Green's heart wasn't for sale; how could he sell something that was already stolen?
4. Surrender
"How long would it take," mused Professor Oak as he watched his grandson desperately trying to escape Blue, "before his eventual surrender?"
5. Sight
Seven years ago, when Koga threw a potion to Green after he was blinded by Agatha, he conveniently forgot to mention afterwards that the potion was not his.
6. Warmth
Despite his cold demeanor (and his natural affinity to ice), Blue was pleasantly surprised to find that at least his skin wasn't cold like a stone.
7. Personality
Green wondered why Blue decided to bother him of all people, when naive guys like Red were always walking around right under her nose.
8. Brain
"Noisy woman. Why do you keep on bothering me?" "I envy that brain of yours, you know." "You lie." "See? You're smart enough to know that."
9. Joke
Seeing his friend's dumbfounded expression for the first time in his life, Red looked at Professor Oak who sheepishly explained that he had asked Green if he was a great-granfather yet.
10. Unlock
Blue is capable of opening any locked door within a minute, but at times she feels as if it's going to take more than a decade trying to unlock Green's heart.
11. Elder
When Blue complained that Green talks like an old woman, she thought she saw him give out the smallest hint of a shiver.
12. Foresight
"Geez, Green. When did you learn to hate me so much?" "When I was growing in my mother's womb. Happy?" "... Was that your idea of a joke?"
13. Question
For someone with such an intellect, Green was completely caught off-guard to have Red ask him casually: "Has Blue officially asked you out yet, or have you already refused?"
14. Dream
Blue was apparantly not satisfied with bothering him during the day, so she had decided to turn up in his dreams.
15. Retreat
Unknown to Green, Blue actually takes a step back when her target actually snaps; too bad he always keeps his cool.
16. Law
Green desperately wished for a new legislation that fined people who goes around destroying other peoples' inner peace.
17. Training
Now and then Green would consider another training session with Chuck, if only to ease up his frustration with a certain brunette.
18. Gathering
Gold could never understand why Blue insists on so frequent gatherings, when there is only one person she actually wants to see.
19. Avoidance
Green can't help but feel that every one of those rare times that he does succeed in avoiding Blue, he feels as if he is missing something important.
20. Affection
Of all the outrageous things that she does, why did in have to be flirting that she practices on him?
21. Voice
Just as Sapphire began losing her country accent after meeting Ruby, Green could feel his voice become less flatter and colder everytime he speaks (unwillingly) to Blue.
22. Concoction
After years of (trying to) flirting with Green, Blue decided that she would need a boxful of speciallty arranged love potions to make this relationship work.
23. Mix
He keeps telling himself that it is unhealthy to mix with the likes of her, but it wasn't as if he had any choise to begin with.
24. Glue
"Red, how do you get rid of glue?" "Uh, why do you ask?" "I need this woman off me. Now."
25. Warp
She was so good at finding him that he suspected Palkia of warping up a wormhole between them on purpose.
26. Collapse
Green is like an impenetrable ice wall, but Blue has confidence in her secret chisel, hidden somewhere up in her sleeve.
27. Wisdom
Even to someone like Green, the wisest strategy when playing against Blue is to give up quickly - before she uses even his stubborness to her advantage.
28. Illusion
Once Blue claimed that she sees Green everywhere, making him conclude that she was seriously drunk.
29. Drunk
It turned out that she really was drunk; utterly and hopelessly love drunk.
30. Unexpected
Gold jokingly asked Green if Blue had ever tied him to a chair and tried to seduce him, only to reel back in shock as the senior Dex Holder looked away with a vein pulsing on his forehead.
Well, that was rather better than I hoped. R&R! Next up: Mangaquest!
