Red immediately stood up, his face the color of his namesake. Touko slowly got up as she touched her lips. The feeling of Red's kiss still lingering on her lips. Touko soon came to her senses as anger and embarrassment enveloped her.

"What the hell! That was my first kiss and it was in public too. Everyone saw it! You better take responsibility for this mister!" Touko exploded in fury, their kiss still fresh in her mind. She prodded his chest with her finger.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you. Is there a way for me to make it up to you?!" Red calmly explained what happened and apologized hoping that Touko would calm down a little. This wasn't his first kiss. He had gotten his first stolen by Blue, back when he was still traveling and she tried scamming him. Red's thought snapped back to reality as he caught himself staring at Touko's lips. "Sorry, what?"

"I was wondering i-if you could, uh, help me with being a champion. L-li-like showing me the ropes and stuff like that! That's the only way you can make it up to me, I won't take anything else!" Touko sped through her words, her face reddening at every syllable. "I mean, since you're an ex-champion and a Pokemon Master."

Red instantly agreed unable to think of an alternative. He felt guilty for taking her first kiss, besides it'll help with him to get to know the Unova champion. Touko grinned and hooked her arm around his, obviously excited to get the meet-up over with so she could go on and be with Red. She hummed throughout the meeting, obviously content. Ever since she saw Red on TV as he conquered the Indigo League years ago she developed a crush on him. She watched him fight for the title of Champion since he took on the Indigo Plateau. The fact that her first kiss was with him gave her a light bubbly feeling.

-Time Skip to the end of the meeting-

"So Red what do you plan on showing me first?" Touko asked a question still blushing at the idea of spending time with him. Red shrugged unsure to where to start. He gave it a bit of thought and soon came up with somewhat of an idea.

"How about visiting the other regions?" Red asked for approval. Touko nodded, anything that allowed her to be around Red was perfectly fine for her. As Touko's thoughts drifted off to dreamland, Red released Charizard and boarded on. He reached out for Touko and tapped her shoulder, effectively knocking her out of her daze. "Are you coming?"

Touko nodded her head, returning to reality. She took his outstretched hand and hopped on. "Hold on tight!" Red warned her. Touko wrapped her arms around Red and placed her head on his broad back. Taking a liking to her posistion she snuggled even closer, Red face grew crimson as he felt Touko rub againsts him. He cleared his mind of his teenage fantasies and commanded Charizard to take flight. Flapping his large wings, Charizard and his passengers took off, accending at a fast rate.

-Line Break-

"Hey Red? Can we switch places? I'm kind of scared that I'll fall off." Touko requested. She kept nodding off and she feared that she would lose hold of Red and fall to her certain doom. Red twirled his pointer finger signalling Charizard to hover. Red stood on Charizard's back with ease, balancing like it was nothing. Touko timidly scooted forward as they switched spots. Soon enough they were back to traveling to the Kalos region. They planned to start from Kalos and end back in the Kanto region.

Touko leaned against Red, the rhythm of his breathing soon lulled her to sleep. Soon she was snoring contentedly as they flew. Red caught himself staring at her as she slept having a strange urge to kiss her scarlet lips. He blinked a few times as he tried to focus on flying but, always getting the same result of just gazing at Touko's face. Unable to control himself he dipped his head bringing him closer and closer to her. They were soon an inch apart, his head struggling to stay sane as he tried to resist the urge to take her lips again. Being the light sleeper that she was, Touko was awoken by the mint breath that was blowing on to her face.

"What are you waiting for?" Touko kept her eyes closed hoping that Red would actually kiss her again. She felt something soft pushing against her ruby lips. Touko took a peek and saw Red kissing her. Their lips interlocked, she kissed back, turning it into a one-sided intense make out session. She combed her had through Red's hair pulling their faces closer. Red tried to pull away knowing that he needs to return his focus on flying, Touko prevented that and pulled him deeper into the kiss by wrapping her hands around his neck. Eventually Red gave up and continued with their little fun. Red and Touko broke apart gasping for their breath. Their lips were bruised and swollen. Touko sighed contentedly

A vibration-like laugh was emitted from Charizard's chest. Seeing his master like this for the first time was quite amusing. Both of the trainers looked away from each other's eyes realizing what they just did.

Touko adjusted her gaze and grabbed part of Red's shirt. "Red… I like you..." Touko confessed.

A/N: That's the end of Chapter 3! Sorry if it was short and kind of rushed. I re-edited the chapters so that the story was a bit more chopped up into smaller and easier to read parts. Cya again later! Follow and Favorite if you didn't already!
