Hey all! I'm back with another chapter and this time it's shootsdownshipping. I was tempted to make it KantoContestshipping, but I'll save that for another time. For those who don't know, shootsdownshipping is Kenny and Zoey. So, Penguinshippers, Appealshippers (ew), and whatever ZoeyxPaul is, get out. Now. By the way, Zoey and Kenny are already a thing in this fic, just to speed things up.

Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon. If I did, pokeshipping would've been a reality a long time ago.

Boyfriend

Zoey walked down one of the many roads in Goldenrod City. She had decided to go to Jhoto after she had finished her set of Sinnoh contests. Her ever-loyal Glameow kept a steady pace with her to her left.

"Meow-rrp!" Glameow exclaimed as a drop they wandered the streets. She flexed her claws and bristled her fur, indicating that she wanted to train. Zoey simply chuckled at her pokemon's actions.

"I suppose we can train for a little while." stated the red-haired coordinator with another chuckle.

The two figures began to walk toward the town's exit to out in some training time, but they didn't get very far. A figure rushed past them at breakneck speed, causing Zoey to lose her balance and topple to the ground.

"Hey! Watch where you're-" Zoey paused mid-sentence, for she had immediately recognized the figure as a person, and not just any person either. Looking up, she cam face to face with her boyfriend, Kenny.

Kenny, recognizing who he had shoved over, immediately helped her up.

"I'm sorry Zoe," apologized Kenny as his girlfriend brushed herself off. "I'm really in a hurry, though. You see, I was battling some trainer on my way here and he totally killed my Breloom. He needs a Nurse Joy, and stat!" panic was evident in Kenny's voice.

Zoey, sensing the urgency in his voice, gestured with her head down the street. "The Center's down the street and to the right." she said.

"Meet me back at the center later, okay?" asked Kenny.

"Sure, no problem" stated Zoey.

Kenny quickly kissed Zoey's cheek, patted Glameow on her head, and once again took off like a bullet train. Zoey laughed out loud as he just avoided running over an old man.

Zoey walked back into the Pokemon Center about three hours later. Her Glameow wasn't far behind, panting and heaving from a tough training session. Zoey walked straight toward Nurse Joy's desk.

"Nurse Joy, can you please treat my Glameow?" asked Zoey politely.

"Of course, just as soon as that boy's Breloom is healed." replied one of the many Nurse Joys.

Zoey looked to where the Pokemon Doctor was indicating, and saw none other than Kenny, sitting in one of the chairs by the emergency room. She limped her way over to him after returning Glameow to her pokeball and handing it to Nurse Joy. Kenny's head was in his hands and he seemed nothing the Kenny everyone knew: happy-go-lucky, and active. This Kenny seemed sad and withdrawn.

"Ken," Zoey spoke gently, using the affectionate nickname she had become accustomed to calling him, "it's not your fault Breloom is hurt."

"Mmgrhmbg" mumbled Kenny, his words muffled by his hands.

"Pardon?" Zoey asked, constraining a giggle.

"I said 'Yes it is'" sighed Kenny, finally lifting his head from his hands. Zoey plopped down in the seat next to him.

"And why is it your fault?" she queried.

"I don't know, it just is." muttered Kenny.

"Kenny," Zoey said, "it's no one's fault except the trainer you were battling. Breloom tried his hardest so it's not his fault. You're not the one who hurt Breloom, so it's not your fault. See what I mean?

"I guess so." Kenny said, a little more brightly this time. All was quiet for a few minutes. Then-

"How do you always know what to say to help someone or make them feel better?" Kenny asked his girlfriend.

"I don't know, it just comes naturally, I guess." Zoey replied with a smile, leaning her head on Kenny's shoulder. Kenny smiled and laid his head on hers, wrapping one of his arms around her waist. Once again, silence filled the air around them as they sat there enjoying the others company.

A few minutes later, Nurse Joy and her Chansey came out as the needle sign above the door went off. Kenny lifted his head slowly, trying not to wake Zoey, who had fallen asleep minutes ago.

"Young man, your Breloom is going to be just fine! You got it here just in time, so we didn't need to operate. Your pokemon is still bruised quite a bit, though, so we're going to keep it here for a few days, just to monitor its health. Is this okay?"

"That's fine Nurse Joy and thank you." Kenny replied, relief filling his voice.

"Your welcome. By the way, that young girl's Glameow is all healed, can I trust you to give this to her when she wakes up?" asked the Nurse. Kenny nodded in response, and the poekball was handed to him.

"Now get some rest like that girl is. I trust both of you are staying in the Center for the night?"

"Yes, Nurse Joy, we are. Good night and thank you again." answered Kenny as the doctor walked away. The Joy threw one more your welcome over her shoulder as she left.

Kenny looked at the sleeping girl next to him. He gently put one of his arms around her waist, and the other behind her knees. He lifted her up bridle style and cradled her to his chest. Zoey stirred slightly, but she didn't wake up. Instead she gripped the fabric of his sweater and snuggled up against him even more, which caused the boy to blush.

He carried her up the stairs and into his room because he didn't know where she was staying. Luckily, Nurse Joy had givin him a double room and there were two beds. He softly laid her on one of the beds and removed her pokeball belt from around her waist and the sunglasses from her head, and placed them and the nightstand. He released Glameow to keep Zoey warm throughout the night. The feline pokemon did just that by curling up on her masters abdomen and promptly falling asleep.

Kenny turned around to head back to bed when he had a sudden urge to do something. He turned back to Zoey and gave her a soft kiss on her lips. He felt warmth flood through him and was reluctant to break the kiss. As he pulled away, he thanked Entei that she hadn't woken up. He smiled softly and then turned away.

He pulled his pajamas out of her bag and headed to the bathroom to take care of his nightly rituals. When he returned he clambered into his bed with one last glance at Zoey and Glameow. He fell asleep thinking only about the girl who had captured his heart.

Well that's chapter 2 and I thought that was much better than chapter 1... review please. CC is welcome.
