AN: I'm stuck in the house till tomorrow. More fan fiction chapter for you guys.

Now who do we have here? GARY MOTHERF—KING OAK YOU SAY? /cough/ Excuse the language. I meant Blue.

I wondered if it was necessary to put Blue in but then he was Champion in Red/Blue/Green/LeafGreen/FireRed/and quite possibly a remake of the Generation I remakes. I named him Gary in my copy of FireRed. Gah. /shoots self with Hyper Beam/

Blue: Freaking Arrogant

Blue was always arrogant. He'd boast about getting his next Kanto badge everytime he happened to bump into you. Even when he received his starter Pokemon, he just kind of rubbed it the hell in both you and Red's face.

That day you happened to be having tea with his sister Daisy when he had burst in with a face of 'I AM GOING TO BE AN ARROGANT JERK NOW'. "Oh hey, it's [Y/N]! Check it out, I got my first Pokemon!" He waved the red and white ball in front of your face teasingly.

Daisy put down her cup of tea and crossed her arms dissaprovingly. "Oh Blue, stop making [Y/N] feel bad. Maybe she'll end up having her own Pokemon and beat you eventually." Daisy was always so calm and somehow you wished you had that kind of characteristic too.

Because you wanted to punch Blue in the face so bad right now.

"Gosh, you're so arrogant! Why can't you be more humble about it?" You asked, gritting your teeth and slamming your empty cup down on the table. "You should be more like Red. He's so quiet and doesn't brag as much as you do," You said, facing away from the arrogant Oak.

Blue clicked his tongue, obviously offended by that comment. "Hmph! I'll beat him and become the Pokemon Champion! Smell ya later, girls!" And just like that, he stalked off to Route 1.

You calmed down after Daisy kindly poured you another glass of tea. "Thanks Daisy." You said, trying your best to smile after that incident. Daisy kindly smiled back, "You're welcome. With that kind of arrogance, brother's going to have some trouble either way." You nodded, "Maybe. I should take a walk with Mom's Pokemon now."

And so you did. You brought the silly little Bulbasaur to Viridian City and let it play in the grass for a few minutes. It looks very pleased!

And then Blue decides to 'accidentally' push you. You fell flat on your face on the grass and Bulbasaur came running up to you. "Whoops." Blue sarcastically commented, covering his smirk. "What's that for?" You angrily asked, lifting yourself off the soil and dusting your pants.

"It was an accident, really," Blue insisted, obviously lying. You grumbled, "Who in the right mind would believe that!" His arrogant and cocky attitude was pissing you off.

Blue waved his hand, "Alright. It was for what you said back there. That's all. Smell ya later!" And he stalked off agian, chin held high in a negative manner. Bulbasaur petted your hand and you felt better. "Don't worry about him. Red will teach him a lesson! Whether be it in minutes, days, months or maybe even years. He'll learn." You picked up Bulbasaur and carried it in your arms.

You sometimes would visit the other cities and pick up a few things for your Mom or yourself. And you can clearly recall whenever you happened to bump into that idiotic Blue.

He first appeared in Celadon City when you were at the Poke Center. "Yo, [Y/N]!" Oh shit.

"Check this, I've got 4 badges now. And what has Red got? 3! He's always one step behind me! He'll never catch up." Blue said, waving the Rainbow Badge under your nose. With one hand carrying Bulbasaur, you smacked his wrist away.

"You've got half the Kanto badges. Yea yea, GREAT achievement I know. But the last time I saw Red he simply tilted his hat at me, smiled and walked off. He didn't need to brag! At least he greeted me," You said with a hint of annoyance in your voice. When you looked back at Blue, you somehow managed to catch a glimpse of distress in his eyes, but it faded as quickly as you had noticed.

Surprisingly, he didn't say anything rude or witty...and walked out the PokeCenter.

Without his famous "Smell ya later!" catchphrase. What was that all about?

The next time you saw him was Viridian City again, and he was dashing out of the Gym with a ridiculous grin on his arrogant face. Argh. And you happened to be passing by.

Shit.

Thud!

Both of you collided and both of you fell down. You rubbed your forehead to ease the pain...and you opened your eyes to see an Earth Badge under your nose. Sweet Arceus...

"Impressed now, [Y/N]?" Blue asked as you stood up. He had gotten all eight badges. You couldn't deny it, that was rather impressive even for someone as cocky as Blue. But if you were to say yes, you'd be admitting defeat and that he was right all along. And with that big ego of his, it'd just inflate...Can it inflate bigger anyway?

"Tch. Go challenge the League if you're so hell bent on impressing people," you replied, crossing your arms disdainfully and not even bothering to look him in the eye. That hit him like rock bottom. "Are you...freaking serious?" Blue stammered, taking a step back, "I just earned all eight badges. How are you not even one bit surprised? It's not like you could do it." Pft, please. You could, you just didn't want to. You didn't want to end up like that.

"You heard me. Go beat Lance. Go crawl your way through Victory-fucking-Road, and get back to me with proof you've become the new Champion. Because quite frankly, your ego is freaking large. Hopefully Red will drill it into your thick skull, because I can't," You finally said it. Yeah, that was really harsh. And not mentioned you cursed. There was silence, awful silence. Blue had nothing to say.

Absolutely nothing. And because he had absolutely nothing to say, he walked away.

This time head hanging.

"[Y/N]!" Daisy exclaimed as you walked in her house. "Hey Daisy. How's everything?" You said, smiling. She gave you a quick hug and happily went to prepare a cup of tea. "Everything's fine. It's been three years [Y/N], how have you been?" Daisy asked, offering you a seat.

You grinned, "Same old, same old. Helping Professor Oak and his weird tech machines. I haven't seen Red in awhile." Daisy sighed upon hearing Red's name, "No one has seen him. But his mother would always say no news is good news, so we are sure he's fine."

Then you recalled Blue. You hesitated about asking, but you did just for the heck of it. "Where's Blue?"

Daisy's eyes widened, not expecting you to ask that. "He..He's Gym Leader of Viridian City. But he's out often and it causes trouble for those that want to battle him. He's still as irresponsible as ever." "As expected. Where can I find him?" Daisy shrugged, "I really don't know. Usually he would be at a quiet place."

That was enough for you to hunt him down.

The news of the volcanic eruption devastated you and that caused you to come back to Kanto from your trip in Unova. Cinnabar Island is now a pile of debris, and only one PokeCenter lay right smack at the edge of the beach. You traveled there for two reasons: one is because you wanted to know what happened to Blaine (he was like a Grandpa!) and second:

You may find that arrogant, cocky kid again.

Walking around the perimeter of the beach, you spotted a figure nearby the run down PokeCenter. It looked vaguely familiar...

You silently crept up to the young, chestnut-haired boy sitting on the beach, who was tossing his PokeBall up and down casually. He didn't seem to notice you until you took a seat beside him.

"...[Y/N]?" He mumbled, barely audible. "Heard you were Viridian's Gym Leader. Whatever happened to beating Red and become the Champion?" You asked, motioning your water-type Pokemon to return to its PokeBall.

Blue chuckled and ran his fingers in his hair, "Everything you said was right. I got trashed shitless by Red." You raised your eyebrow, "So it seems."

"And it's not just my arrogance. The fact I didn't treat my Pokemon lovingly affected it too. I look at the way you treat your's. You're always so happy with them," Blue continued, turning his PokeBall as if he was inspecting it.

You were smiling by now, "I'm glad you learned your lesson," Because you were slightly worn out, you decided to lie on the sand for a moment. The sun wasn't too hot that day and it was rather windy. "Tell me why you were so intent on impressing others...no wait. Impressing me." You asked. Blue didn't say anything for awhile, and finally opened his mouth, "I had a thing for you, alright? Pretty much self explanatory. Not to mention you looked up Red and I was jealous-" "I would have felt the same if you weren't a dick. And hell no, I never liked Red in that way! He was much too quiet..." You interrupted, albeit honestly. "Am I still a dick?" Blue asked, facing you with a genuine smile on his face. He didn't have that "jerky" aura he used to have back then. "I can't say no. Old habits die hard. But you're not a jerk anymore."

Your sun was suddenly blocked by Blue's smiling face, and then you realized he was just above you. "Close enough." "Blue, wait..!" Your voice died when he smashed his lips against your's. The only thing running through your mind was a bunch of gibberish at first but the gibberish went silent as you gladly wrapped your arms around him and pulled him closer.

He was still freaking arrogant.

Ah well. Not that you could do anything about it anyway.

OMAKEEEEEEE.

"Hey, Blue! I got all 7 Kanto Gym Badg-" Ethan stopped halfway in his tracks when he saw Blue making out with a girl on the beach. Just as poor Ethan was about to run away Blue had heard him and shot up, clearly embarrassed.

Ethan was flushing and was waving his hands, "NEVER MIND. I'll challenge you some other time!" And then jumped on his Feraligatr and surfed away...really quickly. Like a Rapidash with Quick Claw.

"I..uh...shit." Blue mumbled. You supported yourself on your elbows and sighed before smiling at the Gym Leader, "He said some other time. Don't worry about him. Now," You caressed his neck, "Where were we?"

AN: ETHAN Y U NO WAIT UNTIL ROMANCE IS OVER?
