"Ow," Red hissed his voice nasal and biting. He knew Leaf was bad at tending wounds, cuts, and bruises; leading to that, he regretted it. Shutting his eyes in annoyance, he rubbed the pink sticker which simply attached itself to the bridge of his nose. Why would he even need a bandage on his nose, when it was supposed to be in the inside of his nose?

Leaf lacked at logic.

But he chose not to bring that topic up, knowing this would hurt her feelings; like a knife that pierced her heart and he definitely did not want to be firm with her. But he was glad the bleeding stopped, though he was stupid enough to be such a reluctant little pervert. He could still recall the flashing of unpleasant pictures in his dirty mind, he felt like an idiot.

Leaf was harmless, manipulative; someone could chew her up with ease and she wouldn't fight back. Though, with the personality of a gentle Clefable; she was the motherly figure when it comes a time when necessary.

"Stop whining Reddy-poo," Leaf said, a long exhale escaped her lips; though the nickname was like a taunt to him, "it's the only way to stop the bleeding. But-" her lips pursed slowly and she gave a serious look, "-in all seriousness, what was that all about?"

Red could feel his muscles go rigid all at once; oh she was going for that serious charm, is she? His mind fumbled of excuses that he tried to debate to a lot, but he couldn't think of the sensible one to fool her. But this is the one he thought of-

"Um, I have a serious case of blood pressure." Genius, is that even going to fool her easily? Oh crap, what a horrible lie; who the name of Arceus would fall for that? I'm so dead. Red thought and stood there straight and stiffened at every movement she took. Sweat ran down from his forehead, it was visibly seen; if Leaf would see him like this, she will get suspicious. Please believe me, please believe me, please believe me! he inwardly chanted in his mind, with high hopes crossed.

Leaf looked sceptical at his answer, an odd answer from out of the blue. Never did she know that her best friend had this problem. She couldn't think of a remark to settle these things, so she decided to let him go; and that she did.

"Is that so? Aha, for a second I thought you were a pervert there!" Leaf snorted a low chortle which lead to wild laughs, which was certainly unladylike for her; but she could care less actually.

Red stared at her dumbly. Did she- went with it? No matter now, it's passed now. But it was unusual for her to laugh in a way like that, but now he did not care. Her hysterical laughs died down for a matter in time.

"Very good, very good!" she praised, clasping her hands together; creating a booming sound which shocked the Pokémon nearby, "Now let's continue to the adventure we'll never forget-"

"Finding Blue." that was her bland reply; she suddenly became passionless upon saying that name.

Yes, they were friends; but due to his insolent actions towards her and her people, she was not going to tolerate that.

Leaf bustled Red forward, forcing him to walk hurriedly while she marched behind. It was going to be a long day's walk, he knew that now. They needed to collect data for the Pokédex, it was why Samuel gave it to them; they were legendary prodigies to him, and they believed it with pride.

"Squaaa!" shrill screams filled the silence. The two trainers looked up and saw a flock of Pidgey coming right to them, maybe because of Leaf's clapping; which is most likely the reason.

Oh death found its way to Red, and he was not happy; he was sad and panicked.

Red bawled loudly with his outburst, "Oh no! I expected this to happen; death was going right at me!" he flailed around before hiding behind Leaf, "Cover me." he said, his voice shaky in despair.

Leaf sighed, she noticed his apprehensive fear and he has completely forgotten that he's supposed to battle them! Leaf scrunched up her face and sneered, "Isn't this why you're a Pokémon trainer? You take the full responsibility to battle these Pidgey to collect them for the Pokédex! Stop being a flailing coward and battle!" she growled loudly, her tone was harsh.

Red hopped back and suddenly felt confident, she was right after all. He will not back down, her words may be harsh, but somehow the words motivated him to go on. Unclipping a Pokéball that contained a brave Charmander, a smirk played on his lips, "You're right, now shall we go on?"

What a quick change of attitude, Leaf thought until she smiled with her eyebrows furrowed, she grasped tightly on a Pokéball, "Got your guts together, huh? Let's go!" she said, confidence sparked on her hazel eyes and she strike a battle pose.

"Make 'em faint, Charmander!" Red called out confidently, throwing the capsule on the air; which sent out the orange salamander.

"Char!" he roared loudly, possibly trying to intimidate the flock of flying Pokémon. The tip of his tail that consisted of his fire, flared stupendously like the scorching sun that rose above the hills at noon.

"I'm countin' on you, Daisy!" Leaf as well, called out as she flung the delicate ball to the air; sending the frog-like grass type Pokémon.

The Bulbasaur blinked, obviously confused, but then shifted her gaze to the battle. She growled, "Bulba!" as a threat to the flock of Pidgey.

The flock of Pidgey stared at them dumbly, and then soon laughed in their own language. Such cute Pokémon will never get intimidating, that they couldn't get caught up at it. After a while, they returned their focus to the battle. The two trainers could feel that the flock of Pidgey were not bird brains, they had a strategy. Soon, a Pidgey started to swoop down; it was a Quick Attack, as Red observed.

Leaf looked stiff though, she knew that Daisy had the disadvantage; she possible will be ended quickly. But she had no intentions to lose; at least that's what she hoped for. She took a glance at Red, like telepathy; she told him to go first.

Red understood her completely, he felt confident; he won at his first battle and he was sure that they will win this one. His feet shuffled around to find the perfect position, and then he pointed his finger out as a command.

"Charmander, dodge before it can even touch you!" he commanded and Charmander seemed to interpret the command quickly.

It was near, Pidgey came close like the gale of wind; it was like time went slower, like Dialga was there, when Pidgey was supposed to peck the living daylight of Charmander. The burning salamander has his chance now; he swiftly jumped over the normal type bird and threw several Scratches furiously. Cutting the Pidgey mercilessly and continuously, the bird was left on the ground; motionless, but not dead.

The rest of the Pidgey were shocked and enraged, an ally of theirs has been defeated by a mere Pokémon they just encountered. Angered by the little salamander's actions, they all threw themselves in to attack him.

Leaf predicted their next move, she was aware that they would attack Charmander first from what they think that his actions were unforgivable.

This time, she was going to win.

ok ok the first chapters are old. But the future chapters will be better since I improved in writing, just a heads up! :)
