Red's POV
"I'm Blue by the way, and this is Akane, she's a mute though." I glared at her and she smirked. Blue knew I was upset. She had teased me constantly while I was with Gold and Silver with that girly name.
"Well, my name is Green, nice to meet you both." Green looked at me and asked, "May I sit?" No!I felt my head nod for yes. Stupid!
Green smiled at me softly before sitting down next to me, making me blush and tip my hat low. "So, I've never seen you guys around here before, are you just visiting or...?"
"We aren't to sure, we came to check out the place, see how it works for us, but if we develop a tie here, maybe we'll stay." I felt like smacking her shoulder. She was giving way too many hints. Luckily for me though, he doesn't seem to recognize me.
"Oh, I see, well it would be nice if you guys stayed," he looked at me for a bit before turning back to Blue, "that way we could all hang out."
"Why yes," Blue looked at me smugly, "that would be nice, don't you agree Akane?" All attention was towards me and I forced myself not to glare at Blue while I smiled and nodded. Why yes, I would like to tell Blue off.
"We should hang out at some point, maybe this weekend?" I reached forward and grabbed Green's arm lightly, shaking my head. Gold and Silver come this weekend!
"A-are you busy?" Green looked a little startled at my action. I blushed, released my hold on his arm, and nodded slowly. "Okay, so maybe another time?... Give me your number so we can meet up." I felt panic well up in me for a second. Green already has my number! There's no way I can tell him again!
"She doesn't have a phone, mute remember? Here's mine though, and I'll tell her when we can meet up." Oh thank Arceus.
"Oh, alright." Green pulled out his phone and quickly punched her number in. "Hey, would you guys mind if a friend of mine comes along? I mean... I don't know if he'll stay long enough for that, but he's a very quiet guy, a lot like Akane actually but it's by choice and-"
"Akane is very shy around new people, it would be better if you didn't." It came out a bit rushed, unnatural even, but if Green noticed it he didn't give it away. He simply smiled sadly and nodded at Blue's words.
"Well, I'll let you ladies be on your way, as I have to get back to my gym."
"Oh you have a gym? That's so amazing! Akane here loves Pokemon battling." What are you doing Blue! He's gonna want to battle! I can't usemypokemon!
"Oh, is that so? Well you could always come challenge my gym. Of course probably not because you'd need all the other gym badg-"
"Oh, she has them. No worries."
"Okay then... why don't you come with me to the gym? You can battle and, if you make it to me, we can battle how's that sound?" He smiled softly at me and I just couldn't say no. I smiled and nodded and his smile grew.
"Great, let's go then." Oh no. We all slowly got up and followed him back to his gym. It felt weird to wear a dress. The breeze flowing through felt so unnatural and my head felt super heavy with this stupid wig. I felt all kinds of wrong.
The worst part, by the time we got to Green's gym, I was already comfortable wearing the dress and wig. Damn. "Okay so," Green turned towards me, "I'm gonna head inside and wait for you girls-"
"It's just Akane, I didn't bring my pokemon today." Yes she did.
"Okay, so I'll wait for you," he directed specifically towards me, "so just go in, show your badges, and battle your way towards me." He smiled softly at me and waved bye before heading inside the gym.
I waited until he was inside before speaking. "Sometimes I really hate you." I directed at Blue. She chuckled lightly, knowing I didn't mean it, and turned towards me with an amused smile on her face.
"Okay, so here are my pokemon, because we both know you can't use yours, and make sure to take out your badges." I pulled out my badge case and took off the Viridian Gym one.
"Wait, when did you get all those other ones?" Blue pointed at the ones from all the other regions, shocked.
I shrugged, "Gold and I got bored sometimes. I can leave them in there right?" She nodded, jaw dropped. I gave her my old badge to take care of and walked inside with her pokemon. This, is gonna be fun.I felt myself smirk.
