Good day bi-I mean-Hi.
We time skip because we-Ah, fuck it.
I'm time skippin'
Despite being my favourite character, Misty's still going to suffer. Hm. Love is a two-way street after all. Well, my all time favorite is still Snorlax.
Ah, that pokemon is my spirit pokemon.
Misty enters the dorm she and Erika share with a frown and closes the door abruptly.
Erika looks at her in surprise, before smiling sweetly. "So how did the date go?" She asks as Misty plops down on the bed, she walks on over and sits on the edge, ready for the tomboy's story. Misty sighs and nuzzles a pillow. "Horrible." Erika is silent, letting her continue.
"L-Leaf?"
Misty and Red had gone to dinner in one of the open restaurants in the building; it surprises her that this lone building had mini-eateries here and there on some specific floors, makes her think how much were actually spent by the management. But despite that thought, it was a good spot for Misty to talk with Red.
Unfortunately though, Leaf and Green were already there.
"Oh hey." The brunette says, casually sipping her drink by the bar beside Green. Green doesn't say anything but nods back before setting his attention back to the TV mounted on the corner, showing a performance by the famous idol, Nancy. Misty is shocked to silence and Red looks at her curiously, worried that the girl might've stopped functioning all together. She clears her throat and walks over to the duo, silently cursing when they both make them sit between her and Green; with Red beside Green and herself with Leaf.
"What are you guys doing here?" she asks, trying to feign innocence. Leaf shrugs and points at Green, "Found him here alone, and decided I'd give him company." She snickers when the man glares at her, clearly trying to be polite and not snap back. "I was fine without company, ya know."
"Psh. Like the ol' Green'll say that." She says, waving his irritation off. "You know you like to be surrounded by chicks twenty-four seven." Green rolls his eyes and ignores the statement, opting for calling the bartender instead for a drink. He turns to Misty and Red, "Hey, you two want some?" Red nods and stares at Misty, asking for her opinion. She faintly blushes and nods, "Uh, we'll just have lemonades." Green shrugs and orders, while Leaf look at them suspiciously.
"What are you two even doing together?" She asks oh-so naively and it makes Misty silently furious. "You've got something to ask him?" she points at Red, who is still looking at Misty expectantly. She gulps and laughs nervously, "Ah, well…" she pauses and looks at Red sheepishly."I…wanted to ask you about your strategies." Misty mumbles unsurely, but the look on Red's face makes her heart melt. He smiles and nods, ready to teach her anything. It hurt a little, for her confession to be delayed, but it'll happen soon.
She hoped.
"Well…" Erika trails off with a frown. "That was-forgive my words-a blunder." She mutters, making Misty groan. "I know." She buries her face into the nearby pillow. "Why does she have to be there…?" She shakes her head vigorously with a growl. "I like Leaf, but still…" Erika sighs, patting her on the head comfortingly. "Did you tell her that you like Red? Maybe you can talk this out?" she suggests, making her friend look at her. "No…but it's embarrassing to tell a friend that she likes the same boy as you do!" Misty wails, swatting Erika's hand away.
"I just…" she mutters, removing her head from the pillow to stare at the window."I'll just, make him notice me…in some ways." She balls her hands into fists, glaring at the night sky. "And that's to beat Leaf, and him, in a pokemon battle." Beside her, Erika can't help but sigh. Nevertheless, she gives her a smile when she turns to her for encouragement.
She's worried about Leaf, though. The girl is just as cunning as Red, but more mischievous. She might be able to take Red in a heartbeat, but Erika won't let that happen. For the sake of her best friend and for the sake of her title, Red and Misty will be together and be the most envied couple in this school. They'll be holding hands and walking through the halls soon enough; happy to be with each other.
Oh yes, Erika will be victorious.
"You know…" Leaf trails off as they walk to the general direction of the dorms. Green hums, turning his head slightly, grunting as Red nearly chokes him. Earlier, Misty had left quickly after a few lessons from Red. Green was slightly concerned on how the female had practically weaved her way around numerous people before dashing off in the speed of light. Red had stayed for some idle chatter with Leaf, which led to him trying alcohol and fainting after finishing one glass.
And now, Green has to deal with a heavy moron snoring his way onto his neck.
"I think Misty has a crush on Red." She says and Green groans. "Wow, isn't that a surprise." He scoffs, rolling his eyes. Leaf scrutinizes him and frowns, "What? You knew?" Green raises a brow at her, surprised. "It's pretty obvious. And I usually set her up with Red most of the time." He says before nudging the man he was carrying on his back. "I'm practically this guy's wingman."
"Huh. I thought you were dense?" she asks, making the brunette glare. "Wow. Thanks."
Leaf giggles at him and shrugs, while Green grunts as Red strengthens his grip on his neck. "Oh man. This guy is going to pay in the morning…" The brunette snarls, adjusting his grip on his rival. Leaf laughs when the raven mewls pitifully and nuzzles the brunette's neck once more. "That's cute." Green growls angrily, "Why don't you carry him next? I'm sure it'll be even cuter." He mocks, imitating her high-pitched voice in an annoying matter. Leaf rolls her eyes, "Oh come on. You love him."
"I do not." He states bluntly. "He is a pain in the ass."
"You'll regret that someday." She scolds, waving a finger in the air. She stops Green from moving forward and takes her camera out from her bag with a grin. "Say cheese!" Green squawks as the flash surprises him. She squeals, moving in from another angle. "Leaf. Stop that." He says, forcing her to let her pass, eyes already hurting from the countless flashes of light.
Leaf tsked, scrolling through the photos she had already taken. "Aw. Some of them are blurry." She says, deleting some."Good." Green replies monotonously, abandoning Leaf as she checked her blackmail material. "I expect those to be deleted by the morning."
"Have you ever been taught to lower your expectations?"
With one last glare, he enters their dorm room and says goodbye to his snickering friend.
"Hey." Barry says, sitting upside down on the sofa while reading a book. Lucas looks at him questioningly, sitting beside him. "What's up with Dawn? She practically dragged us out of the bridge, panicking." He pouts, throwing the book away and collapsing on the sofa to lie down. Lucas traces the book's whereabouts and sighs; it went right into a nearby trashcan. "I would've liked to stay there for a while."
Lucas half-heartedly answers with a hum, more interested on the flat screen TV mounted unto the wall. "Maybe it was about to rain?" he says, changing the channel. Barry scoffs, "Nah. I would've known." He says, gesturing to the window. "It'll be obvious anyway, so what was she freaked out about?" Lucas shrugs, opting to take another bite out of his muffin. Barry waves the treat over and he moves it down so the boy could bite.
"Uh, beats me actually." Lucas snickers, when a comedian makes a poor joke. "She was blushing."
Barry jolts up, causing Lucas to look back at him in shock. "Maybe she was molested!" Lucas frowns and smacks him on the forehead, sending him back down unto the couch. "Ow." He mutters, rubbing his forehead. "That's too much." He deadpans, "Who would want to touch her?"
"That's kinda offensive to her."
He sighs at the blonde's comment, "I know she's pretty, but no one would try to molest an underage girl." He pokes him on the forehead. "That's just sick." Barry shrugs at this statement and pouts, "There are a lot of bad people out there." He states while swirling his finger in a circular motion, pretending to touch the ceiling. Lucas looks uncomfortable as his friend says so, looking away at a random direction for a split second. "I certainly hope not."
A long bought of awkward silence flows through the air for a full minute.
"Uh, yeah." Barry says, now realizing his words. "I guess that's true…I was just worried about Dawn." He says, moving a little closer to Lucas to rest his legs on the other's lap. Lucas frowns but doesn't say anything, "I mean, she seemed kinda sad." He deduces when the girl had ran away from them the second they were back in Castelia. "I don't like seeing her sad." He says, hugging a pillow to his face.
"Me neither." Lucas says, "But we'll leave her alone for now." At this, Barry peers at him from the pillow. "You sure that's the right thing?" The blonde huffs when Lucas sighs unsurely. "I don't know. Girls are confusing sometimes." Lucas changes the channel again, frowning. Barry raises a brow, hugging the pillow to his chest. "Sometimes?" He asks, remembering instances of Dawn getting angry.
"All the time." He says, turning the TV off with a groan. "Let's go to sleep. I'm tired." The blonde happily prances towards the bed, claiming the left side.
Well. This was updated later than usual; I am so sorry.
As usual tell me mistakes. I won't bite.
And review if you may.
And yes. I Am ITCHING to WRITE SOME FLUFFY FLUFF BUT NO PLOT HAS TO GO FIRST DAMNNIT PLOT WHY
