A Sentence for an Embrace

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon Adventures/Special.


Well, now we're onto Mangaquest. This pairing is actually pretty cute (and ironic; many people can't get enough of those), and I've grown a lot more affectionate to it than I used to. Still supportive, though, compared to my two major shippings. Anyway, onward!

1. Snow

Gold would say that he enjoys the snow piling up on his bare arms, but Crys knows that it's just an excuse to drape his jacket over her shivering body.

2. Dilemma

When Gold is with her, she finds it highly irritating. When he is not around, she feels empty.

3. Distance

When Gold began putting space between himself and Crystal, Blue explained to a confused Diamond the symptoms of 'late puberty'.

4. Net

She had to admit, it was rather sweet of him to go running up and down the stream with only a crude fishing net, just to capture her a stubborn Feebas.

5. Muffle

Whenever he feels as if her endless lectures would erode his ears away, he'd quickly silence her mouth with his own.

6. Work

Despite his rogue-like demeanor, Gold is the hardiest worker Crystal has ever seen when situation requires it; the image gap is confusing, but also rather cute.

7. Suspense

Weeping and waiting was all she could do as she sat there in front of the hospital bed, watching the claw wounds slowly gnawing at him from the inside.

8. Air

Gold just knows that she is blessed by Suicune; how else is it possible that the air always becomes fresher whenever she is around?

9. Road

She is always on the road running errands for Professor Oak, but he makes sure she never walks alone on the empty boulevard.

10. Repair

She was so overjoyed when he fixed up her PokeDex that she gave him a big hug, not noticing him being asphyxiated under her grip.

11. Appetite

Gold always emties his plate with such gusto, Crystal often wonders if she should give him some of her food to save him from starving to death.

12. Attention

Gold had always enjoyed being on center stage; the difference is that now he doesn't want to stand on it alone.

13. Diving

To his shame Gold can't swim to save his life, but he lets Crystal keep teaching him just to be able to watch her body slice through the water like a Milotic as she swam.

14. Listening

In his worst moments, only her voice can make him pay any attention at all.

15. Learning

Believe it or not, Gold is a very dilligent student - as long as Crystal is the teacher.

16. Record

Crystal is VERY protective of her diary, as demonstrated by what she did to Gold after catching him reading it very thoroughly.

17. Weight

He never found out her exact weight, until one day she accidentally tripped over a pebble and knocked him clean into a nearby stream.

18. North

Whenever the cold wind blows from the North, she would be struck by the reminders of his terrible weakness against the cold (no matter how much he denies it).

19. River

Sometimes Gold feels as if he had been drifting down a river all his life until he reached a delta, where Crystal stood waiting with a Net Ball in hand.

20. Spurt

Crys felt the Moomoo Milk she had been drinking erupt out of her nose as her mother slyly asked: "So, am I a grandmother yet?"

21. Research

Thanks to Crys Gold actually began to study on how to win a woman's heart, and boy was he passionate.

22. Possession

Gold had an idea: he would kiss Crys without any warning, then blame it on a passerby Gengar.

23. Looks

Admittedly, Gold has seen prettier girls than Crystal, but none of them ever made his smile split his ears like she does.

24. Skill

Gold isn't shy about the talents that he does possess, but that didn't stop his face from reddening when Ruby came to ask him how to flirt 'properly' with a girl he loves.

25. Graffiti

"I'll kill him," she muttered as she glared at the small 'G 3 C' on the side of the lab wall, but she didn't erase it.

26. Solution

Crystal is a very good problem-solver, but Gold is a problem that she would have to solve for many years to come.

27. Breakdown

His grin would usually shut down her respiratory system; her smile would always breach his immune system.

28. Wrath

Once Crys fell into a mudhole while chasing after a Nidorina; after pulling her out, Gold had Exbo burn it dry.

29. Disappointment

She never liked his flirty attitude with other women, but failed to understand her own disappointment when that apparantly didn't apply to her.

30. Stars

She sees stars in his eyes; he sees her eyes in the stars.


My favorite sentence here? The last, definitely the last. Next up, Frantic? No! I've got another supporter in line! *gets mobbed by Oldrivalshippers*

That was the hint! R&R!
