I'm back after a while of not posting a one-shot. I have a few ideas, but if you want to suggest something I might use it. Or not. Anyway, let's start.

Have A Bad Day

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Dinner!" Cilan's usual call for food rang across the group of trainers camp. As usual they all made their way across the clearing for dinner. All except one of them. Snivy sat staring at the water contemplating her entire week which she was glad to have finally ended. After losing to Trip's Servine in a battle that lost the entire match, getting caught by Team Rocket and having to be saved by Emolga, and getting lost twice in these woods, she wasn't feeling particularly happy at the moment. She just wanted a couple moments to herself, though with this nosy group, that isn't exactly easy to come by.

"Snivy, aren't you coming to dinner?" Pikachu asked. Snivy sighed.

"No, I think I want to be myself for a bit. I'm not really hungry." She told him.

"Are you okay?" He asked, looking at her in concern. Snivy nodded.

"Yes, Pikachu, I'm fine, please leave me alone." She said. Unfortunately for her, she knew Pikachu was just as persistent and stubborn as his trainer. Perhaps it would have been easier to have just been lost in the woods.

"Snivy, if there is something the matter, you can tell me. I'm here to listen." He said. Snivy rolled her eyes, getting up, deciding the woods would be a better place for privacy.

"I'm fine, I'm going for a walk." She told him. Walking away before he could respond, Pikachu was left standing there with his ears flattened in sadness. He hated seeing his teammates sad like that. Realizing nothing could be done at the moment, he walked over to his dish, sitting next to Axew and Oshawott. Oshawott noticed Snivy's vacant spot and Pikachu's depressed look. A sense of worry washed over him.

"Pikachu, is Snivy okay?" He asked, startling the mouse. Pikachu shrugged.

"I'm not sure, she said she wanted to be alone for a moment. She's seemed a bit out of it for a couple days." Pikachu recalled. Oshawott glanced at the woods in worry. She's already gotten lost twice in those woods, he wasn't sure if she'd be okay or not. He debated on following her to talk to her, but decided against it after heavy debate. Finishing his meal, he decided not to join in the others game, but instead to wait by the forest. Forever seemed to go by for him and he became increasingly more worried by the second. The sun was starting to set and he hadn't heard a word from the woods. Sighing, he decided to walk and find her himself. As he walked through the woods all by himself, he found himself contemplating why he was doing this. Sure, Snivy was his teammate, and he would do anything for her, Oshawott felt like he was treating this differently. I mean, she took care of herself up until Ash caught her. So why was he so worried? Was it possible he might…

He broke out of his thoughts when he heard a familiar voice, yelling for help. Running, he found the grass snake herself, stuck in a thornbush. She somehow managed to hang herself upside and was staring straight at him, an embarrassed blush on her face. Oshawott wasn't sure what to do for a solid couple of minutes. He blinked stupidly at her.

"Are...are you stuck?" He asked. Snivy sighed.

"No, Oshawott, I'm doing a special training exercise where I get myself stuck in thorn bushes." Snivy said sarcastically to the dimwitted otter. He cocked his head.

"Well, if you're sure,"

"CUT ME DOWN!" Oshawott jumped back in fright as Snivy lost her temper. Nodding, he readied his Razor Shell and cut her down from the bush. She landed on her feet, and winced as she pulled out a couple thorns. Oshawott ran up to her.

"Are you okay?" He asked, worried for her. She sighed sadly.

"Yeah, I'm fine I guess." She said, sighing sadly. She walked with her head down, back to the camp. Oshawott watched her in sadness. Was she really depressed about being caught, or was it something else? Thinking back, she has had a pretty rough week, with Team Rocket, these woods, and of course the battle. Pounding his fist in his hand, he got an idea. Operation Make Snivy Happy was a go…

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Oshawott took a deep breath as he inhaled the sweet smells of the flowers around him. It's been two days since he found Snivy in the woods, and happened to stumble upon this meadow in the meantime. Multi colored flowers decorated the beautiful field, and Oshawott was captivated by it. Shaking his head, he remembered his mission. Searching carefully through the different colored flowers, Oshawott found the patch he was looking for. Running over, he came to a patch of bright red flowers. He smiled, Snivy always secretly adored roses when they'd walk by flower shops. No one else noticed, but Oshawott would always glance at her staring longingly at the roses. Oshawoot again grew confused about why he was the only one to notice this small detail about her. Shaking his head again, he got to work picking the roses, being careful of the sharp thorns. Smiling happily, he made his way back to camp until he heard yelling from behind him.

"What do you think you're doing?" A loud high pitched voice shrilled from behind him. Turning, he spotted a very unhappy Liligant making her way towards him. He sweatdropped. Of all the rotten luck.

"Ummm hi?" He said awkwardly, earning a glare from the flowering pokemon.

"You can't take those roses, they're for the pokemon of the meadow." She said sternly.

"But, I already picked them, so does it really matter?" He asked. Liligant shot him a death glare.

"You shouldn't have been picking them in the first place. Hand them back so we can replant them at once." She said. Oshawotts eyes shined.

"You can really do that?" He asked admiringly. Liligant nodded.

"Of course, it's a special process where—Hey, don't get me sidetracked, I didn't forget you are a thief!" She said, breaking out of her lesson. Oshawott drooped a bit.

"I'm sorry, it's just my friend has had a really bad week, and she really loves roses and I couldn't find any anywhere, so" He broke off as he stumbled through his words. Liligant however, looked interested.

"Oh, these are for a friend of yours, is she special to you?" Liligant asked, causing the otter to blush.

"What do you mean? She's one of my closest friends," He stuttered, causing Liligant to giggle.

"Awww, you like her don't you," She teased, causing Oshawott to growl in annoyance.

"I think I liked it better when you were going to kill me," He said ruefully, earning a laugh from the grass type.

"Nah, not any more. I'm sorry for coming off rude. The name's Odette, I sort of take care of this meadow," She said proudly. Oshawott nodded.

"Hi, I'm Oshawott, it is a beautiful garden," He complimented. Odette smiled.

"Thanks, but now back to the important issue. You like this friend of yours don't you," She said, pointing a finger at the otter. Oshawott was going to deny when he thought for a moment. Did he like her? It might explain why he notices small details about her. Plus, he had to admit she wa one of the bravest pokemon he's ever met. Plus, it's always cute how she-

Oh dear Arceus, I am in love with Snivy, Oshawott thought with a sinking feeling. I'm in love, with one of my best friends.

"Crud, I AM in love with her," He muttered out loud, earning a smirk of satisfaction from Odette.

"Good, now that you've admitted it, we got to get you two together," She said. Oshawott narrowed his eyes at her.

"We?" He inquired.

"Yup, I'm always up for getting to lovebirds together," She crooned. Oshawott rolled his eyes.

"I wouldn't call us lovebirds," He muttered. Odette didn't seem to hear him.

"Ok, you said she's in a bad mood, roses are a good place to start. Trust me, she's going to be touched when you give those to her." She said, causing Oshawott to scuffle the ground in embarrassment.

"Heh"

"Anyway, let's go deliver those while they're still freshly picked." She said. Oshawott nodded, and led her back to the camp they set up a couple hours earlier. They walked in silence, lost in their thoughts, until they spotted the snake leaning against a tree, lost in thought. Oshawott gulped, not sure why he was nervous. Sure he's done this plenty of times, but he's never done it to Snivy. Shaking his head, he started to walked towards her he was completely blindsided by a stray Flamethrower. He stood comically burnt from the attack before collapsing. An apologetic snort came from the side.

"Sorry bout that, Oshawott. It was meant for Pikachu," He called. Oshawott dusted himself off, and realized in dismay the flowers were completely crisped. Sighing, he looked at Odette who also had a look of sadness on her face.

Plan A: Failure

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Oshawott propelled himself up on the branch of the giant berry tree. Odette watched him with a look of worry on her face.

"Be careful, Oshy" She called from below. Oshawott rolled his eyes at the new annoying nickname.

"I'll be fine," He called back. Reaching up for some berries, he quickly grabbed as many as he could and tumbled down the tree, some berries falling with him. Odette looked at all the berries, remembering something.

"Uh-oh, let's get back before-"

"HEY"

"-too late," Odette finished. A very angry Rufflet made his way to the two pokemon. He glared at them indignantly.

"What do you think you're doing, stealing from my territory." He snapped. Odette sweatdropped.

"Hello, Ricky, how's your day going?" She asked sweetly, causing the young pokemon to smile happily.

"Oh, hi Odette I didn't know it was you, but what about you," Ricky's good mood took a complete 180 as he glared at Oshawott. Oshawott smiled awkwardly.

"Well, you see-" He began.

"Ricky, he's cool, he's doing this for his girlfriend." She explained.

"She's not my girlfriend," Oshaott denied, but they didn't seem to hear them.

"But what's that got to do with stealing my Razz berries," Ricky said. Odette rolled her eyes.

"Ricky, they're not your berries, it's your mother's territory, plus she said I can take all the berries I want, remember?" Ricky thought for a moment, then shrugged.

"Fine, go ahead. Razz berries are too spicy for me any way," He said, then turned and flew away. Odette rolled her eyes at the young pokemon.

"Kids," She sighed. Oshawott chuckled.

"Tell me about it, I travel with two of them," he said, earning a laugh from his friend. They made their way back to camp and again found Snivy staring off into space by herself on a rock. Oshawott smiled at his handful of berries. He remembered her telling him once that Razz Berries were her favorite all time berries, but it was a shame they were so hard to find. He could hardly believe his luck when Odette told him of the could go wrong now. All he had to do was deliver the berries to Snivy and-

"AAAAAHHH" Oshawott yelled as he was incinerated by a stray Thunderbolt this time. This one stunfg a LOT more than the Flamethrower. Odette, who was hiding in a bush again called out.

"Are you okay, Oshy?" She asked.

"Nnngh," Oshawott rolled in pain.

"Sorry bout that," Pikachu called. Snivy watched the whole thing with a simple eye roll. Oshawott got up and looked in shock as the berries held the same fate as the roses.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Plan B: Failure

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Oshawott and Odette sat on a stump, deep in thought. Oshawott was really busy. What could I do that would get her spirits up. Apparently, anything brought into camp will just get destroyed so that's a no go. Hmmm, Oshawott was broken out of his thoughts as Odette spoke up.

"Hey, oshy" She asked.

"What?"

"You said this Snivy girl loved to battle, right?"

"Yeah"

"And she's been losing a lot this week?"

"What about it?"

"How about you battle and lose against her, winning a battle is bound to get her spirits up." Odette exclaimed, bouncing I happiness. Oshawott thought for a moment. Winning a battle certainly would help get her hopes up. While losing didn't exactly appeal to him, the thought of seeing a depressed Snivy hurt him more. Nodding, he smiled at Odette.

"Let's do it," Running back to camp, they found Pikachu and Pignite finally finishing their battle. Relived at them being done, and not almost dying again, Oshawott ran up to Ash.

"Ash, Ash," he called. Ash looked down at his pokemon.

"What is it Oshawott." He asked. Oshawott paused for a second, then pointed at the battle ground and then Snivy. Taking a minute to register, Ash realized what Oshawott was trying to say.

"You want to battle Snivy?" He asked. Oshawott nodded, shocked his usual slow witted trainer figured it out so easily. "Sure, Snivy I want you to battle Oshawott." Ash called, snapping the snake out of her thoughts. She looked at the two in surprise, before shrugging and making her way over to them. Getting to the other side of the battle ground, Oshawott got onto his side. He noticed Odette's eyes from one of the bushes. Oshawott smirked.

"Ready when you are" He called. Snivy sighed.

"Let's get this over with." She ran at Oshawott with a Leaf Blade. Oshawott readied a Razor Shell. Alright, just make it seem like I'm attacking and let her knock me out, He told himself. He charged at Snivy, ready to take a hit, but instead tripped on a dent in the ground from the previous battle. His scalchop came flying like a buzz saw out of his hand and hit Snivy with such force that it sent her reeling into the ground unconsciousness. Oshawott and Odette stared in disbelief.

'YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Odette yelled, startling everyone. She quickly ran away at the attention from her outburst while Oshawott stared down in silence.

Mission Make Snivy Happy: Failure.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Snivy woke up, her head throbbing. Rubbing it, she winced in pain a bit. Dang, Oshawott's shell hurts like a-

"Oh, you're awake," She was broken out of her thoughts by a high pitched voice. Turning her head, she noticed a Liligant sitting next to her in one of the tents. She jumped in surprise.

"Who are you?" She asked. The Liligant smiled sweetly.

"Hi, I'm Odette." She said happily. Snivy sighed. Just what she needed, an annoying happy go lucky pokemon.

"Snivy," She introduced herself. Odette nodded.

"Oh, I know who you are," She said happily. Snivy raised a brow at her.

"Oh, do you?" She asked. Odette nodded.

"Yup, and I've got to say you've got a really sweet boyfriend," She sang. Snivy stared at her, stupefied.

"Uhhh, what," She asked. Odette sighed.

"It's really a shame nothing went as planned today. He had so many good ideas. He really is a sweet guy." She sighed. Snivy rubbed her temples.

"You have ten seconds to tell me who or so help me," She threatened, causing Odette to shrink back.

"Oshawott, silly." She said. Snivy again stared at this weird pokemon.

"What do you mean, all he's done to me today is give me a concussion," She grumbled. Odette sighed.

"That was an accident, he really has been trying hard all day," She pulled out a single rose and half a charred Razz Berry. Snivy's eyes widened.

"My favorite flower and berry," She whispered.

"Yeah, Oshawott said you were having a bad week, so he wanted to get you something to make you feel better. He was even going to lose the battle purposely." She stated. Snivy stared at her in shock.

"W-why?" She asked. Odette hummed happily.

"Cuz, silly, he liiiiiiikes you," She sang happily, spinning in circles. Snivy stared at the rose and berry again.

"But how'd he know…" Snivy broke off into thought. She always thought of Oshawott as a lazy selfish flirt, who didn't care for anyone but himself. Well, the old Oshawott. These past few months, she's noticed how much he's cut back on flirting and how much more focused he was on battling. She then thought of this incredibly sweet things he tried doing for her. As she was deep in thought, the otter himself walked into the tent. Odette skipped happily to him.

"Well, Oshy, it was fun while it lasted but I have to go back to my meadow," She said. Oshawott was surprised, but kind of sad to see her go. Despite the annoying nickname he actually grew quite fond of her. Sighing though, he knew her destiny was not with Ash and his team. He settled for nodding.

"It was great while it lasted, thanks for everything," he said. Odette nodded.

"Oh, by the way, I told her how you feel, bye," With that she ran out of the room.

"Bye, take-WAIT WHAT?" But it was too late as she was gone, leaving a very awkward situation between snake and otter. Both were unsure what to say. Snivy shuffled in place while Oshawott cleared his throat. Both were saved however as Cilan called out for dinner. Snivy saw this as her chance.

"Care to have dinner with me?" She asked, causing Oshawott to light up.

"Sure," he said, with a goofy smile, causing Snivy to smile in the first time for a week. He grinned at her smile. Operation Make Snivy Happy: Success! Together the two made their way to the bowls. Embarrassment flooded over Oshawott as the other pokemon saw how close he was sitting next to Snivy. He heard a whistle coming from the forest, and saw Odette smiling at him and Snivy. She shot a knowing wink at the otter, causing him to blush and quickly turn away…
