Summary: Through the eyes of Crystal, Gold is, by all means, a big spender. So she couldn't believe the time will come that he will actually wait for something to be free instead of buying it.
Gold is a big spender.
She thought she knew that already.
Gold is rich (though not as rich as Platinum). Everyone knew that. He had been known to automatically buy food when he was hungry, buy staple foods of different places no matter what the cost, and even splurge ALL of his money in various Game Corners. Heck, he even has a mansion for a house! Even though he was reasonably rich, he wouldn't outright admit it. He wasn't a spoiled brat of sorts, more like an arrogant guy-next-door.
Simply put, he doesn't look like he's rich, but he is.
~O~
"Hurry up, Gold! We've been standing in front of the pretzel shop half an hour already!" Crystal pleaded to Gold, who stood firmly and focused his gaze on Auntie Anne's Pretzel Store harder.
"Wait....wait......" he answered, twiddling his fingers together.
Crystal sighed. She intended to go to the Celadon City Department Store to buy grocery supplies for Professor Oak alone, but somehow Gold had accompanied her into doing so. Not only did it make shopping a hundred times slower because of his multiple distractions, but it also made it increasingly annoying for her to shop while someone beside her endlessly brags about his many exploits.
Now that they are FINALLY done with shopping after three hours of pushing, stomping, and bargaining (seems more like it's a market NOW, huh), Gold winded up in the pretzel store, and had apparently waited for something in it ever since.
"What're we even waiting for?" she demanded, swinging her grocery bag so hard that it almost hit Gold squarely in the face, had he not evaded it at the last second.
"Shhhh...." he said, quieting her down. "Almost time....."
Ding. A bell in the store chimed as a man in blue came out.
"There! That's it! Let's move!" Gold exclaimed suddenly, moving forward to the store.
"Crystal let out a sigh of relief. "At last! Do you usually take this long to buy pretzels?" she asked.
"Hm?" he mumbled, turning to her. "What do you mean?"
"Eh?" she asked."You're going to buy pretzels, right? Even though you could've done so half an hour ago......."
"Huh??!!" he shouted.
"But, but, that's what we've been waiting here for 30 minutes ago!" she explained."What else could we have waited here fo---Oh." She then glared at the raven-haired trainer.
Gold smirked, relieved that she had finally understood their sole purpose for lingering at the pretzel store. "Who said anything about buying?" he asked, licking his lips as the man in blue approached them, a tray of pretzels in his right hand. He shoved the tray closer to them.
"Do you two want a free sample?"
And Chapter Nine's finished! I saw this joke in a comic book of mine, and I absolutely loved it. I realized that Chris and Gold would be the perfect characters for this type of chapter! You might notice that this chapter is a little random, but I decided to make chapters a lot more random now! (Since it's too tiring to skim through every volume for details of past events, had I choose to make a chapter with such parts) Hope you don't mind if I do so! It's going to be a lot funnier that way, anyway......Alright! Last notes; I'm (still) accepting chapter requests, reviews are very much appreciated, and add this story to your story alerts so you can find out if I added a new chapter already!
