As the day grew late, Ruby and her two Pokemon were seen lounging about after a hard day's worth of training. Ruby sat up against a tree, with a tiny smidgen of dirt on her face barely able to keep awake as she stared off into the sunset. Her partner Rose nestled in nicely upon her lap and their newest companion, Oddish, sat beside Ruby, plum tuckered out. However, just upon the corner of the young trainer's eye, she took witness of her new friend approaching. Bleu walked in carrying a small basket and a smile across her face, "Well, you three had a busy day."

Bleu knelt down, taking notice of the chard terrain as she slowly unpacked her woven container to unveil a small oddly shaped sandwich. The contents between the two loaves were a simple confection of peanut butter and jelly, yet the snack was cut delinquently in the shape of a... Cat? Passing the oddly shaped treat over to her new friend, Bleu mumbled "So Ruby, what's your-"

With the busty girl drawing closer, the tiny fox felt her presence. Rose viciously sprang back up, fully awake, and glared at the opposing force. Bleu shivered by the creature's gaze, only for Ruby to calm the little beast by soothing, "It's okay Rose, Bleu isn't going to hurt me." Ruby then reached across to retrieve the offering, "Thank you, Bleu."

"R-R-right. Well, Ruby like I was going to say-"

"WHOA!" The young trainer interrupted, "Bleu!"

"Wha-what, did I put too much peanut butter!"

"No-They's... Really good, but... It's only peanut butter and jelly?"

"Well yeah, I like to mix peanuts with peanut butter instead of buying chunky. Feel like it gives an extra bit of texture and I always go for the locally sourced jelly."

Ruby giggled, "Heh, damn Bleu. You're gonna make one heck of a wife someday."

And just like that, those warming words overtook Bleu as she began to blush and think to herself, one heck of a wife.

Unfortunately, her bliss was cut short as our hero chimed, "Uhhhh Bleu? You were saying?"

"Huh, OH! Right, sorry, uh so what's your plan for the electric gym in town?"

The newly admitted trainer smirked and held out a tiny fist, "my plan is for Rose and Oddish to kick butt."

"... That's it?"

Ruby broke from her fantasy, only to utter, "Uh... Well, I was gonna lead with Oddish and finish strong with Vulpix."

"Ruby... You know the electric gym is a double battle right?"

"Double battle?"

"Here, lemme show you."


Deeper into the forest, the two girls came to a relatively open area as Bleu took out a second Pokeball. The young girl threw the device up in the air as a ball of light poured out onto the ground. Emerged was a tiny cat-like creature who's furry pattern mainly consisted of blue and black. The front half of the body resembled a light blue with a cheery smile upon his face, while the back end was pure black and a tail with a golden cross spit at the end of it.

Bleu then lowered her tiny mouse, Pichu, next to the newly arrived Pokemon, then explained, "Okay, so in a double battle it's important for your Pokemon to... How do I put this, correspond with each other on a deeper note? Like, okay in a single battle, a trainer and a Pokemon are meant to function as one. Well, the same principle can be applied in a double battle, all three participates must-"

As the girl prattled on, the small blue cub took an enlightened gaze at Ruby's Vulpix. The small fox's presence sent shivers down the little lion, as all functions enticed him to approach the alluring creature. Rose quickly took notice of the approaching cub, as her reaction was more unsettling, to say the least. The blue cub smiled and squealed with joy while closing in on this mesmerizing beauty while all senses and the surrounding area became duller the more he stared at her.

During which, both Ruby and Bleu ceased their discussion upon witnessing such a sight, as they both collectively cooed at the delightful display of affection. Bleu moaned, "AWWWWW Shinx, do you have a little crush?"

As the tiny club finally reached his beloved as Rose responded with a weary expression and placed a single paw upon his face to halt the Shinx's advances. "Oh Rose," Ruby giggled, "Are you a little shy?"

Shy would not be the word to describe the fox's reaction to her supposed suitor, for she'd be blasting him with a stream of flames had he not looked so pathetic.

With a quick shake, Bleu mumbled, "Wait, what were we talking about... DOUBLE BATTLES! Right, um Shinx, Lily, this way please." As the busty nerd called for her pets, the tiny Pichu scampered across while the mini lion continued to pine over his crush. "SHINX! Here, now!"

"Sh-SHINX!" He cried while snapping out of his daze. Knowing his master called for him, the cub then sprinted across chirping, "shinx-shinx-shinx-shinx."

Bleu then knelt down to her pets and commanded, "Okay guys, let's give these two a nice show. I'm thinking we go with a Cross-Current on...," She pondered for only a moment then selected, "that tree."

The lion and mouse turned towards the impending target, both furrowing their brows, ready to strike. Ruby and her fox gazed silently as both combatants coated their bodies into a layer of electricity as sparks began to emit off of them in all directions. The two then bolted forward in a blinding light, almost too fast for the naked eye to make out, as they closed in on their target. With a quick rush, the lion and mouse both jumped diagonally, forming a cross of pure electricity as the two chipped away at the trunk, leaving a destructive X in their wake. Then the two twisted their bodies back into the direction of their objective, they both fired powerful bolts of electricity upon the backside of the tree, causing a secondary X mark upon the ravaged shrub.

With the two Pocket monsters landing, Bleu turned back towards the astonished Ruby and explained, "you see? A true double battle's strength lies in how well your Pokemon can function as one."


And done. I know it's short and I'm sorry.

Originally I was gonna include Ruby's first gym battle in this chapter, but I haven't updated... Well... Any of my stories in a while and I just felt like getting something out there, even if it's a short chapter. I really do want to get to the next chapter though, but not sure when I'll find the time and motivation to write it. Lily you know about that don't you, anyway, hope y' all like it and if you don't... Well then I hope it's good enough for Lily, it was her idea to have one of Bleu's Pokemon to have a crush on Ruby's Vulpix and I thought to head over heels blinding love was the way to go with that.
