Green=Blue because outside of Japan he's Blue and well Blue is a more fitting name for Red's rival, don't ya think so?
I spent the whole morning helping Morty cleaning up the messy rooms. I had to force him to let me help, who knows how much my starter Pokemon is responsible for. Throughout the whole cleaning process the ghost Pokemon and unfortunately my own Meganium were trying to get the gym leader and I closer together but the leader kept his distance by always working in a completely different room from me. His distance isn't helping with the awkwardness.
I'm tired of this! I need to fix this and get to the bottom of the Pokemon's reasons! That's a nice thought and all but I don't even know where to start. I need to think things through before jumping in and screwing up this delicate situation even more. The problem I should address first is Morty's avoidance. I know embarrassment makes you want to avoid people but isn't he going overboard? I mean I'm embarrassed too but I'll still look at him and talk to him, than again my crush could be responsible for that.
Anyway, I guess the best I can do is get him to talk to me. I'll ask him if he wants to go to the Burned Tower or something...No! I'm not trying to get a date out of this! I just want to fix things and well I didn't get to go there yesterday. That is all! But if I am going to go with him than Meganium is going in his ball. I think my grass Pokemon is trying to hook us up.
I don't know why Meganium is so determined to do that but it's probably because he really likes Morty. But all my other Pokemon have taken a shine to someone and they're not trying to get me closer to them. Feraligatr likes Gold, Arcanine favors Blue, Umbreon is fond of Silver, Dragonite adores Lance, and finally Ampharos is on Falkner's side...Wait a minute! They all like guys! They won't do what Meganium is doing right? Is that why my herb Pokemon is trying so hard so that the others won't get the guy they like? Why are my Pokemon matchmakers? But at least they got good taste for the most part; Silver's and Blue's attitudes leave something to be desired.
"Finally, I'm done," Morty sighs from the other side of the door. I've been standing outside this room for a while but I haven't really given too much thought on what I was going to say. And to make maters worse I'm getting nervous. I'm not asking him out! So why are there Butterfree in my stomach?
"Soul?" His voice causes me to jump and I quickly spin to face him. He's standing in the doorway, his right hand still on the door handle. His violet eyes are locked on me in confusion and I can't do anything but look into them; gotta hand it to the ghost gym leader for mastering Mean Look. And to top it off the Butterfree in my stomach are in full flight. "Have you been standing there this whole time?" It must be my imagination but it seems like he's blushing.
"I...uh...um...You..." As I struggle to get the words out my stomach decides to make its presence know. I can't help it! I haven't eaten anything yet!
"Hungry? I'll go make something," he says before walking off and all I can do is lower my head in shame.
"Sorry." Will I ever stop making a fool of myself in front of him? My crush isn't to blame for that and that is sad.
For breakfast Morty just made me simple eggs and toast but they were so good, than again I could be bias. Now that my stomach has been taken care of it's time I asked him out-I mean ask him to the Burned Tower, seeing as how he's still avoiding me. But if I ask the request after all he's done for me will I seem selfish? Ah screw it! I'll ask...if I can.
First things first! I need to be in the same room as him and that's where his Pokemon come in! "You guys ready?" I ask, as I look them over. Haunter and Gengar salute, while Gastly just floats around. Meganium stands next to Gastly and is using one of his vines to salute. "No, you don't!" Frowning at me he returns to his ball. He's already caused me enough headaches. " You guys know what to do right?" They nod yes. "Than get to it!" And like that they are gone, to bring me their trainer.
The Pokemon work fast. I can already hear the fast footsteps of Morty approaching. Okay, I need to figure out how to say it. I don't get any time to practice because Morty comes bursting through the door only for it to slammed shut right behind him. I wanted to speak with him face to face not be locked in the room with him! From the other side we can hear the ghosts snickering. I guess using his Pokemon was a big mistake.
Staring at the shut door a sigh escapes his lips. He's not looking at me! Tentatively, I walk over to him to tap on his shoulder. He jumps slightly before turning to look at me. He forces a smile and it's my turn to sigh, inwardly. "Sorry about this," he says gently.
"No, I asked them to do this." Well kind of anyway. He looks at me quizzically but says nothing. I need to get to the point. "Morty, would you like to go to the Burned Tower with me?" Shock overwhelms his face and so does a blush. Ah the Butterfree have returned. "Not as a date or anything!" I quickly add and sullen expression takes over his handsome features. Why?
"I'd love too." The gloomy expression fades and a nice small smile adores his face. He's very handsome when he smiles. That was surprisingly easy to get him to agree.
It's cold! But what else should I expect from autumn? I don't have a jacket or any warm clothes. Aren't I smart? I guess I should go buy something but if I ask him to come with me to go shopping than it will turn into a date. That's a very nice thought but I'm really just getting my hopes up.
Shutting my eyes I braces myself for another shiver to take over my body. IT'S REALLY COLD! I hate the cold! Just yesterday the weather was nice. I really do hate how quickly the weather can change. Something warm is wrapping around my neck. Opening my eyes I discover that Morty has given me his scarf.
"You look cold," he mumbles. He's looking dead ahead and his cheeks are a deep shade of red; it must be because of the cold.
"Thanks," I mumble back. I pull the scarf up and breath in his scent. It's a unique scent of incense and ash with a hint of cologne. His scent is intoxicating.
I'm suddenly becoming very self-conscious of all the eyes on me or more acutely on us. I wonder if we look like a couple? Does it bother Morty? Or possibly maybe he likes it? Why is it that I always have question but no answers? Look there's another one! Forget about it Soul! Just focus on the Burned Tower. What am I going to do there anyway? Darn it, there's another question!
Well I couldn't think of anything to do there before arriving. Time to wing it! That's what I do best! Sad to say but I won a lot of battles that way. How about I just reminisce? After all it's been little over a year since I've been here and well it does hold fond memories. That settles it, that's what I'm going to do! I wonder if it holds fond memories for the Gym leader?
I rush into the building, ignoring Morty's warning. Spinning around I take in the smell of this old building. This must be where Morty picks up the scent of ash. His chuckling catches my attention and I stop to look at him, a huge smile decorating my face. I don't know why but I'm really happy.
He stops right in front of me his soft violet eyes looking at me. Again I'm self-conscious and my face is burning hot. Suddenly he places his hands on my upper arms and leans over to kiss my nose. My face is going to melt, I swear! "You look co-," he stops mid-sentence when our eyes lock and I'm unable to look away, curse his Mean Look ability! Slowly, he leans closer until his lips are firmly on mine.
Still not done yet! Hey, I'm actually pleased with this chapter!
