Valentine's Day 2013
Oshawott
I woke up with a start. Today was a brand new morning. I could hear the Pidove... um... doving? The air was warmer today. The winter air seemed to have decided to take an early vacation today. I felt the breeze on my stubby ears. My big nose picked up the scent of apples. I can see in the direction of where the wind was coming from; a Deerling on my right had crushed open one of the red fruit. I silently watched it munch happily on the juicy apple. I shuffled a bit, causing it to look up. It noticed that I wasn't a threat and smiled. It continued eating.
All these happy, soothing signs would be great to wake up to, but I had other things on mind.
I've been dreading the arrival of these next two days.
Ever since I asked Pikachu about the feelings I've had when I was around Snivy, I couldn't keep my mind focused. I was hoping today and tomorrow wouldn't come because today I'll have to be thinking about what to do tomorrow. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Oh, the horror.
I wobbled up on my feet. I needed to do something to refresh my mind for today. I decided to walk up to the Deerling. It noticed my nearer presence and watched me cautiously.
I got ready to talk, struggling to get my tongue to move.
"I-... I just don't know what to do, Deerling." She had a confused look. "Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I don't know what I should do for her." Deerling looked down to her fruit. It was hard to tell if she understood or not. "Do you think you can help me out? I don't want my friends to know about this."
Her head and ears shot up. She looked at me with a large grin.
"Um, I'd love to, Oshawott..." she started out plainly. She paused for a while. She continued saying, "I'm not that good at helping others with things like this, so... Well, I want to get better at it." Her voice was of a young Deerling. Being bigger than me, it was hard to tell that she was a lot younger than me... maybe.
"Thanks a lot! Glad to have some help!"
"So, who is it?"
"Huh?"
"Who's your special valentine?"
"Oh. She's a grass type. She's a Snivy."
"Oh! You mean the green one that's over there?" She pointed to Snivy's curled body.
"Yeah, her. So, are you sure you really want to help?"
"Absolutely!" She jumped up and down in a steady beat. "So, what did you need first?"
"I want something to give her... nothing super romantic or anything. Just something to show how I feel about her."
"Ok. Well, since she's a grass type, it's not hard to find a present for her."
"What do grass types like?"
"Berries, herbs, flowers... maybe you should give her a bundle of flowers!"
"I said nothing super romantic!"
"It's not. Actually, I'm always getting flowers! They always mean so much to me!"
"I guess you're right."
"What kind of Pokemon is she? I mean, personality-wise." I thought hard. She is a fighter. She cares for all of us- well, not Emolga. She also had tough times with a former trainer...
"She's a fighter. She's very strong, too."
"Hmm... Hey, I have an idea! Follow me. There's a flower... place near my home. Maybe you can find some flowers there!"
"Perfect, thanks." I followed as Deerling walked away from our campsite. I glanced back to make sure no one was awake.
Deerling led me to a human's house. The garden was full of different colored plants. Most of them were flowers.
"Go ahead, find some flowers Snivy might like." I hesitated.
"Isn't that stealing, then? I don't want to take anything without asking."
"Oh, the owner here won't mind. She's real nice. She lets my friends pick flowers from here all the time."
"Ok, I'm trusting you on this." I walked into the fenced garden. I looked all around. I've never taken Snivy for a flower type of Pokemon. She accepted the flowers on Christmas, though. What caught my eye was a single blue flower. It was almost like the snow flowers, except the tips of the petals curved, the tips were yellow, and the inside was green. It was beautiful, but I didn't want to take a flower if it was the last one.
"Go ahead, go get it. It's a good choice. The inside is green and the ends are yellow. Isn't it perfect?" Deerling went up to it to pick it for me. I immediately stepped up.
"Wait, don't pick it. That's the last of that kind of flower! The human who lives here would be furious if she realizes the last one was taken!"
"Oh, come on! It's just a small little flower!"
"But if I take this, she won't have any more to grow!"
"This one will be perfect for your valentine, though! Unless you really want to get a different flower even though this one is so much nicer."
"Stop arguing with me! If your mom was here, she wouldn't want it picked, either!"
The bickering kept going on and on and on.
"Even if I don't pick it, I still have so many to-"
Creak!
The owner of the house looked at us in shock. I tried running, but my clumsiness made me trip again. I was scared that the human would punish us for tresspassing.
"What are you two doing in my garden? Don't you know it's wrong to come in without permission?" she asked. She held a pokeball in her hand, ready to throw when needed. Deerling began to panic.
"I-I was j-just help... I was just help-helping my fr-friend here for Valent-tine's Day! I'm s-sorry!" she pleaded.
"You should've knocked first, then. Instead of going straight to my garden, go to my door and knock or ring the doorbell." I was shocked.
"Wait... you know what we're saying?"
"Yeah. You're an Oshawott, right? I'm Ditto. Sorry, I had to transform into my owner in case you were bad guys." Ditto transformed into a pink blob. Its eyes became dots, and the mouth became a long line.
"Wait here." Ditto slimed back into the house, carrying the pokeball on its back.
A few moments later, Ditto and the same human we saw that Ditto tranformed into stepped outside and walked to us.
"So, you're here for some flowers?" The human asked. We both nodded. "I'm guessing you want the Blue Collared Flower, then." She had a disappointed look.
I guess that's the name of this flower. I nodded, looking down in shame, guessing that she hadn't wanted to give it away.
"Go ahead. But, Deerling, you know better than to just pick it without me allowing."
"I know, I'm sorry did that."
"Alright, grab it and run along." She and the Ditto went back into the house, closing the door behind them.
I picked the flower quickly but careful enough that it won't lose any petals. I rushed out in shock. I seriously thought she would be extremely mad. Instead, she let me take the last of that flower and even let us out without doing anything else.
I hugged the flower slightly. I know Snivy would LOVE this! The thought lifted up my spirits.
"Well, we have a pretty flower... but this isn't enough! Isn't there anything else we can get Snivy?"
"Rather than only flowers, it's good to have snacks to eat, also. Fruits are delicious! You should get her fruit. Maybe nice, juicy fruit."
"What fruits are around here?"
"Um, just follow me. I'll show you around the forest." I followed her into the forest. All the trees had dark colored leaves, the leaves were as large as me, and the branches were extremely long.
She guided me to one of those trees, except this one had orange oval-shaped fruit on it. They looked rather tasty, too. The problem is, I had no idea what these were. I have never seen them in my entire life.
"What are these? Are they a type of fruit?" I asked Deerling.
"Of course they are! Otherwise, I wouldn't even bring you here in the first place! These are Bino Berries*. This is the only place I found these. Maybe they are rare!" Suddenly, she gasped loudly and a huge smile was plastered to her face. "Of course! Super rare berries for your very special valentine!" She giggled and tapped the ground excitedly.
"I'm guessing that I should get these for her? They do look rather tasty."
"AbsoLUTEly! Here's what you can do. With these nice long leaves, you can make a basket. Then, make one of those little glass thingies that holds flowers for that flower! Just put that in the middle, surround it with these berries, then sprinkle some ground up Licum Leaves* all over to give it more color and shine!"
I thought about it. This would be the best gift ever! I tried to imagine what would happen when I show it to her.
~
"Snivy, I have something to give to you." She turned around to look at me. She looked at my face and waited for the gift. I took out the basket from the bush behind me and placed it at her feet.
"Snivy, I r-really want to show you how much I care for you... I hope you accept this as my valentine gift... t-to you... Because I...
L-lo-"
~
"Hey, Oshawott, we better get this basket finished before your friends wake up and begin to worry about you. C'mon, help me cut off some of those leaves on the Licum and Bino trees."
"Right." I took off my scalchop and jumped higher than usual. I was determined. I cut the leaves in a very clumsy manner, but that didn't matter. At least, Deerling didn't think they were that bad.
"Ok, now we weave them." For a moment, we stared at the leaves, not doing anything.
"Hey, Deerling, do you know how to weave?" I said to break the silence.
"Nope! I have hooves. Sorry!" I slapped my paw onto my face.
"Well, I guess that whole basket idea was useless." I was surprised that Deerling still had a smile on her face.
"Are you kidding me? Doesn't one of your friends know how to weave? I'm sure that Leavanny I saw earlier can weave! Every Leavanny should be able too! My mom always tells me the story called The Grand Forest and the Weaver. It's a really good story. Maybe you can- GASP! Perfect idea EVER!" I jumped at the sudden exclamation.
"And... that would be?"
"I'll give you a copy of the story so you can read it to Snivy! It'll be so wonderful!" She giggled and squealed in delight.
"Oh, um... I guess it's okay..."
"OH! And maybe Leavanny can teach you how to weave so that she knows that everything's from you! Isn't it brilliant?"
"Uh, ingenious. The problem is that I told you earlier that I don't want anyone else to know about the valentine for her."
"Oh, well... I think everyone will eventually see it, though. Hard not to miss Snivy carrying around a basket two times larger than her." I sighed.
"I guess you're right. Everyone is going to find out about the two of us sooner or later. Alright, I'll go get Leavanny. You can go get the story thingy."
"Ok! I'll meet you back here!" She pranced off happily into the deeper part of the forest. With the flower and leaves in hand, I headed back to camp.
I looked to see if the others were still asleep. Fortunatly, Leavanny and Cilan were the only ones awake. They appeared to have just woken up. I ran over to the tall green Pokemon.
"Leavanny, I need you to teach me how to weave." He looked at me groggily then yawned. He stared at me blankly.
"What?"
"Please teach me how to weave leaves!" I showed him the long, smooth leaves, the flower hidden behind my tail.
"Oh. Why do you- yawn. want to know how to weave?"
"You see, tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I'm making a basket of stuff for her. Earlier, when everyone was still asleep, I went with a Deerling so she could help me think of a gift for her. I'm going to meet her back at the forest. Do you care to come with me?"
At first Leavanny said nothing and kept staring. Then he yawned, stretched, and stood up.
"I can teach you. But first, I want to know who 'she' is."
"Oh! Um... you'll see soon enough. Just teach me how to weave, would you?" Leavanny took the leaves and laid them out, one leaf under the other then over the next. I watched carefully as he alternated the leaves.
"Now, you keep putting each like this: over, under, over, under, then slide it down so it's tight. Next, do the same, but put it under then over,under, over, slide down. Now you try it. It's quite easy."
He loosened the leaves and spread them out so they're not touching. I picked up the first leaf then began the pattern: over, under, over, under. I grabbed the next and did over, under-
"No, no, no. You have to keep alternating every leaf, too." I nodded, then tried again. Eventually, I got the hang of it.
I laid out the tight sheet of woven leaves. I didn't do that bad for the first time weaving. It actually looked great!
"Not bad, not bad. Now, to make the basket shape, just move it like this..."
Finally, the basket was completed. I was extremely proud of my self. Now, time to make the... glass flower holder thing. I told Leavanny about this.
"A glass flower whatnow?"
"Y'know, the glass thing humans use to hold flowers. The ones on tables that give decoration."
"Oh, you mean a vase. Ok, let's see what we can do... I don't think you can make a vase by weaving. Try... oh, I know! Follow me to the river. Axew and Scraggy were digging around and found some clay. Y'know, their so called "turtle pit?"
"Oh yeah, the one they made when trying to find a _ fossil. Haha!"
We walked to the giant hole next to the stream. There were clumps of hard dirt, which I believe was the clay. Leavanny used String Shot and grabbed some chunks. He handed it to me.
"Ok, if you don't know how to sculpt, then I can do it." I shook my head.
"Naw, I want to try making it myself. I'll try my best to make one. Thatnks anyway, Leavanny. If anyone asks where I am, just... say that I'm meeting with an old buddy of mine I haven't seen in... forever. Anyway, I'm going back to the forest. See ya!" I padded away clumsily.
Deerling
The little otter came back with a nicely crafted leaf basket and a big chunk of clay.
"What's the clay for?" I asked.
"It's for the glass flower hold- I mean, the vase. Besides that, I learned how to weave and I made a beautiful basket, too!"
"Yeah, it is pretty." Truthfully, there were many holes and it was a bit uneven. But, for a first timer, it was nice. "Anyway, I have a copy of the story here." I took off a leaf bundle on my back and rolled it out in front of Oshawott. "It's not a long story, but it's very nice."
"Thanks, Deerling! Now, I'll need help making the vase."
"First off, knead it like bread dough to make it soft." Oshawott dropped the chunk of clay on the ground. "Oh, um, it's easier to make on a harder and smoother surface." He picked the chunk up again and threw it at a flat rock. "Oh, you can stop throwing it. It might-"
Crack.
"Crack... well, I guess we can both have our own piece. Then, we can mush them together when they're soft." I started stomping all over the clay. This softened it fairly quickly. Oshawott, on the other hand, was rolling a smooth rock over the clay and spread it out like a pizza. I figured it was soft enough, so I placed my clay on his.
"Now, we merge it." I folded up the clay pizza around the chunk in the middle. I stomped on it to make things go by quicker. "Ok, now let's sculpt!"
This work was hard and tedious. The rim kept breaking off, and the vase was uneven in so many spots. We had to start over three times before we got a sturdy enough base. The rest of the vase was too difficult. It kept sagging inward when we stood the sides up. We eventually just stuck a rolled leaf into the base and stuck clay all over it. That was good enough.
"DONE! And I am NEVER doing that again!" Oshawott shouted, his whole body covered in mud. I haven't even bothered to ask how he got mud all over him. We were only working with clay.
"Lastly, we set it out in the sun to dry. We can just leave it on this rock. Let's get the rest of the decorations ready."
I used some of my moves to knock down the fruit, and Oshawott use his scalchop to cut off some more Licum leaves. He shredded the leaves and I arranged the fruit. This had got to be the best thing I ever helped do before! Maybe I can get my Cutie Mark in-
... nevermind.
After about half an hour of talking about fruits and plants around this area, we decided to fill the vase with water at the bottom and place the it into the center of the basket. It wasn't that stiff, but we tried what ever we could. Oshawott carefully placed the vase in the middle and sprinkled the pinkish Licum powder on the berries.
Now, time to finish everything that we had worked so hard on. Oshawott took out the beautiful Blue Collared Flower delicately from behind his tail. He inserted the stem carefully into the vase.
We took a moment to step back.
"Simply marvelous, Oshawott. You really did splendid on this."
"It wasn't only me. You helped me with a lot of it. Because of it, I thank you."
"No problem at all. I was so happy to help." We stood there in a bit pf silence to look at the gift once more. Tomorrow, Oshawott is going to show all of his friends how much he loves Snivy-
"Omigosh of goodnessness!"
"Huh? What is it? Did we forget something? Let me see... berries, basket, vase, flower, water, powder, story... I don't see anything missing."
"No, nothing of that sort! You've been gone for so long! Your friends must be so worried about you! You better get back quickly! Don't worry about the basket. I have a secret place to put it. I'll hide it for you. Hurry!" I had to nudge him with my nose.
"I completely forgot! I hope I didn't worry them too much! Bye, Deerling! Thanks for all the help!" After his quick thank you, he ran off back to the camp.
Ok, I have to get this into my secret base! The one only for me! Don't you worry, Oshawott!... Oh dear! I didn't ask him when we'll meet so I can give him the basket! Ok, I'll just have to hang around in the morning tomorrow, then.
Oshawott
"Phew! I was getting worried that you might've gotten lost or something. You were away longer than I expected. Here, I brought your breakfast. I'm sure you must be hungry." Leavanny handed me the bowl of pellets. I took it gratefully and gave him a grin. I decided to sit under a tree next to the "turtle pit" where Snivy was watching the two little fighting and dragon Pokemon. I heard someone sit on the right side of the tree.
"Hey, Oshawott. Did you have a good time with your 'old friend'?" He used his tiny fingers to motion quotations.
"Why the hand motion?"
"Oh, I know you've been secretly hiding the fact that you have a huge crush on a 'special someone.' I saw you and the Deerling sitting around talking. I can tell that you were meaning to hide something from the rest of us." I saw him raise his eyebrows two times.
Wait, he couldn't be thinking that I actually liked-
Pikachu
"WHAT? Why would I like HER? She's just a random Pokemon I met in the middle of the woods! Just because I sat around with her doesn't mean I- why were you watching me anyway?" He had jumped onto his feet. And glared into my face.
"What? Oh, I was just wondering who that 'old friend' of yours was. Y'know, I never knew you were so good at craft making. It looks perfect for her! Fruity and fresh... that flower was also a very good decision for her!" This time, Oshawott had walked up closer and had an angry stare. If any of you readers are confused, you aren't the only one. Why is he talking about the Deerling like that? I don't really even care about her. I'm just complimenting him. For making Snivy such a good Valentine's Day gift. Well, whatever.
"I don't know where you got that crazy idea, but I only like SNIVY, ok? Deerling was just helping me make the gift!" he yelled at me, then he stomped off toward Cilan's somehow transportable tables.
Well then, that was strange. Hee hee! I'm so tempted to tell him what Snivy thinks of him!
Snivy
The two boys kept asking me over and over to get some flat rocks from the stream. They used them for shovels to find a fossil. What confused me was how they managed to lose all the shovels I gave them. This was probably the tenth time I stopped at the stream.
Once again, I lowered the stones into the pit. Hopefully no one comes by and falls in. I sighed. This gave me an idea. I might as well make a fence around the hole until they call to me again. I grabbed a few loose sticks on the ground and some long weeds. I began making the fence...
"SNIVYYYYY!" It was the same old familiar voice of Axew. I sighed again.
"Be right back."
"No, wait, Snivy! I think we've actually found something! Come check it out!" I jumped gracefully into the hole. I looked to where Scraggy was pointing. It sure looked like something. It looked like a...
"What in the world is this thing?" I pulled out the water droplet- shaped necklace. It was smooth, and some water was still inside. I could shake the water inside; that proved it.
"Ooh, that's pretty! It looks like a necklace! Scraggy, I think we've struck the treasure jackpot! C'mon! Let's keep digging!" I climbed my way out, still holding the strange necklace. I felt some sort of tingle while holding it. It was very strange, really.
Maybe I should ask around. I decided to ask the local water Pokemon. There was a group of round blue Pokemon. They had spiral bellies and white, flat tails. There were about three of them that were larger and had arms and one that was very large and had a meaner look. I have never seen these Pokemon before in my life, but I needed to ask someone.
"Hey, I need one of you to help. I don't know what this is. I was thinking a water type would know what it is." The biggest of them looked to me, stopped his group, and swam up to the edge.
"Hey, you can show me whatever you want. Just make it quick," he said, with a very deep voice. I nodded and handed him the necklace. Right when he touched it, his other arm twitched(more like jerked).
"This..." he began, tears coming up in his eyes. "This is a _. It powers water type Pokemon," he said with shakiness in his voice.
"Ooh, neat. Why are you tearing up?"
"My trainer used to get so many beautiful gifts for me. I'll never forget her sweet little face!" By now, he raised his voice and tears started to unnaturally flow down his face in streams. "Bwaaaah huh huh huh huh huuuuuuuh!" he bawled. I just stared, confused. I grabbed the necklace and walked back a bit. Just then, two of the medium sized Pokemon came up and each wrapped an arm around the bigger Pokemon's arms.
"Sorry, he usually does this. They're just bad memories," one of them said before swimming back to the others. I looked at the necklace.
Then, I got an idea. I haven't gotten a valentine's gift for anyone yet, let alone the otter. With this, it could even help him during our battle training sessions. I guess I should put this in something to make it look nicer.
Unfezant
The nighttime had finally come. In a couple hours, the holiday of love will take place... wow, that sounds so cheesy. I looked back at the tall, bug Pokemon. He was talking to Oshawott about something.
So what if I'm bigger and older than him? There really isn't anything bad with that. It's perfectly normal. The only strange thing is that he's a bug type and I'm a flying type. Well, I don't really think that changes anything, either.
I really hoped he had something for me tomorrow. I didn't get anything for him. He walked to Cilan's sleeping bag and lied down next to Pansage. Oshawott lied down next to Pikachu who had Snivy lying on his other side.
Ha! Listen to me! I'm becoming one of those lovey dovey birds... no pun intended.
Just then, Emolga landed on a tree above Oshawott. I knew she was in for some trouble, so I pretended I was asleep. I needed to find out what she was about to do.
Oshawott was talking to Pikachu. I listened closely. I was only about two yards away, so I could hear most of what they were saying.
"I guess I should just meet her at the forest tomorrow, then. Maybe I can get up early again," Oshawott told Pikachu.
"If you want, I'll come with you. You're gonna need help carrying that thing. Just wake me up for it."
"Thanks a lot, Pikachu. Do you really think Snivy will like it?"
Snivy? What is this thing that Oshawott is giving her? Heh. I bet it's for Valentine's Day tomorrow.
"Certainly! You worked so hard to make it. Plus, reading her the story will make everything even better!" Pikachu gave him a large smile.
"You think so?"
"I know so. Relax, don't worry about it, Oshawott. You have to be looking strong and brave for her. Otherwise, you'll only be nervous the whole day and you won't be able to give it to her." Pikachu curled up into his sleeping position. "Remember, talk to me if you need help. I'll be there, Oshawott. Get some sleep now." Pikachu closed his eyes.
"Thank you, Pikachu," Oshawott said before he lied down to sleep, too.
Above them, Emolga had a pretty angry expression on her face. She muttered something to herself then flew off to sleep next to Axew.
I just hope she isn't planning on making trouble tomorrow... I'll have to keep an eye on her. I closed my eyes and let my mind drift back to the green and yellow bug Pokemon.
Oshawott
I woke up early again this morning so I can get the basket. It appeared that I was later than yesterday because Cilan and Pansage were already setting up the tables and the stove.
I shook Pikachu lightly to wake him up.
"Hey, Pikachu, it's time to get the basket. Time to get up! I'll just go and tell Pansage that we're getting something." Pikachu opened his eyes just enough to see me.
"Mm mh..." he closed his eyes again. I shrugged, then got up to go to Pansage. He was starting to set the plates down for the humans.
"Hey, Pansage! Pikachu and I are going to get something from the forest. We'll be back as soon as we get it, promise!"
"Ok, but don't be too long. I don't want you two to miss an amazingly awesome Valentine's Day breakfast!" he said. He grinned and went back to setting the table.
I walked back to get Pikachu who was sitting up, but he appeared to have fallen asleep again. I pushed him so that he falls backwards.
That woke him up.
"Ooh... sorry, Oshawott. I'm not used to waking up so early that the sun's only halfway up- yawn. I acquired Ash's habit of sleeping so long. Y'know, he and I have been together since the very beginning of our journey so he can be a Pokemon master."
"Yeah, you told everyone that already last year. C'mon, we need to get the basket before everyone wakes up."
"Oh, ok." I helped Pikachu to his feet, stretching and yawning, his tiny teeth reflecting the orange sun.
We headed to the forest, and to our surprise, Deerling was already there with the basket. We said our thank yous and goodbyes before Pikachu and I headed back to camp. Pansage saw us and told us to put it with the others. He pointed to a small collection of packages next to the stove.
He gave us a towel to cover it. I placed a stick into the vase that was taller than the flower, so the towel doesn't crush the flower.
We helped Pansage and the connoiseur with the other preparations until everyone woke up.
By the time everyone was awake, breakfast was already piled onto the table. The humans sat in their chairs while the Pokemon sat on two extra tables that we have no idea how we got them(excluding Excadrill, Dragonite, Leavanny, Unfezant, Pignite, Stunfisk, and Crustle).
The food arrangement was amazing. On the trainers' table, a large three-story platter was sitting in the center. The bottom and top were filled with fruits and the middle had an assortment of sweet pastries. On either side of it was a large bowl of steaming delicious soup and sandwiches. At our table, everyone had a bowl of Pokemon food, each with an apple in the center, and a platter of varieties of berries in the center.
The big Pokemon had three giant bowls of fruit. They, too, had Pokemon food. When I evolve into a Samurott, I'll be able to eat a lot more food like them! I can't wait for that.
I suddenly felt something awkward in my throat when Snivy sat down next to me. I didn't look up, but I could feel her large eyes look at me a for a short while.
Axew, who was sitting on my right side said, "Uncle Oshawott, do you have a cold? Your cheeks are getting all pink. Want to share this Oran Berry with me?" I looked at him in surprise and tried covering my cheeks with my paws.
"O-oh, um, I feel fine. D-don't worry about me." I looked down again and bit my lip. My heart was pounding faster and faster.
"Alright, everyone! This is my and Pansage's gift to all of you! Happy Valentine's Day and dig in!" Immediately, everyone began to scarf the food down... well, Ash and his Pokemon were, at least. That was all excluding me and Snivy. I just ate slowly, trying to copy Snivy's proper manners.
Everyone's tummies were filled, Ash's and Pikachu's stomaches bloated.
"Boy, I really gotta hand it to ya, Cilan. This was the best breakfast ever!" Ash said while lightly patting his belly. Pikachu agreed with a 'pika.'
"Ha ha! You boys have to take it easy on the food, more. Ash, you're such a kid," Iris said, giggling.
Ok, Iris saying that was getting a bit annoying... well, I don't really care. It was time to do the valentine gift sharing, and I felt more nervous than my first battle against another trainer's Pokemon. This was the moment that I would show everyone my true feelings for her.
"Alright, I guess we'll go first... riiiiiight, little buddy?" Pikachu blushed when Ash looked at him. He lowered his ears and walked toward the gifts with a shaky grin on his face. He picked up a letter with something attached to the front. He handed it to Ash.
"This is from Pikachu to one of my f-friend's Pokemon, Buneary." I noticed the studder we he said 'friend.' "I'm going to mail this at the next town. I-I also want to show this b-because of-f an ag-greement with P-Pikachu." Ash picked up a chalky blue flower with a note attatched to the stem. "This is actually f-for Buneary's trainer..." My trainer's lip was quivering. Pikachu looked up at him expectingly. Ash opened his mouth with clenched teeth. "I-I... I just can't say it right now, buddy!" Pikachu face palmed. He looked at Ash with an annoyed expression in his eyes. He then just sighed.
Leavanny went up next and gave Unfezant a beautifully crafted scarf made out of some kind of cloth. I could tell that everyone was wondering where he got the materials. Unfezant rubbed her head against Leavanny, and we heard a small chorus of "aaaaaw's."
Pignite handed Ash a tube-like package of some sort and said that he's giving it to an old friend when he was still at the Lab.
After a couple more, it was me last. I felt even more nervous than when I first felt nervous. I shakily walk over to the basket... then something was moving under the towel... a big lump was under it. I could hear crunching...
I stopped trembling and became worried. I yanked the towel off to see none other than...
Emolga.
She ate all the fruit. The vase was knocked over and broken. The basket was loose and flat. What worried me the most was the flower.
The flower. I could see it when Emolga got off the basket. It was ripped and shriveled, the color dulled. I could feel a giant lump in my throat.
Right then, I could feel myself holding in the urge to scream.
"Why, Emolga?... Why would you do that?" I watched her chew and swallow the last of the fruit.
She chuckled. "Remember when Team Thunder came and asked us about who we liked most?"* her face sharpened into a glare. "And you broke my heart for saying you don't like me, Oshy- Oshawott?"
I was about to use Hydro Pump on her.
"Well, guess what? I had to take revenge. You break my heart, then I'll break yours."
"Emolga, why you-" Pikachu started.
"Nuh uh uh, Pikachu! You aren't going to ruin the last of my revenge!" She faced me again. "Heh heh! I guess you'll never have your precious SNIVY now! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
I turned to look at Snivy, almost about to break out in tears. Snivy was blushing, and her eyes looked at me in sympathy. Then, her extremely sharp eyes flashed at Emolga.
"You be quiet, Emolga. Do you know how I feel about him mySELF?" I looked up at her in surprise. My feeling of sadness halted. "You do know revenge isn't the right answer for anything, RIGHT?" She looked at me with softer eyes. "Well, guess what? Revenge on someone because they didn't do what you wanted can't break love between Pokemon who actually have feelings for each other." I felt my face blaze.
Oh, gosh. Am I hearing correctly? Did Snivy just say that? Oh dear, why is Snivy walking this way?
"Oshawott, don't worry about the basket. I know what you intended with that." She took something blue out from behind her collar and handed it to me with the stone dangling from a black string.
I joyfully took it silently, my eyes not looking away from her face. Is this really Snivy declaring love for ME? I thought I was supposed to... well, in that case...
I got up and hugged her.
"I love you too, Snivy!" I shouted, the tears finally streaming down my face. I felt her small, flat arms wrap around to hug me back. Everyone was silent while I cried happily.
When I settled down a bit more but still cried a bit, she muttered quietly to me, "Let's just do the first kiss when we're alone, okay?" I stopped crying, then chuckled.
"Mh hmm," I replied in approval.
The End.

*Bino Trees - Tall but skinny trees that usually grow with Licum Trees; they produce yellow fruit and don't usually have that many branches and leaves.

Author's Note:
I know it's far away from Valentine's Day, but I had to get the two of them together SOMEtime. Like I said, I put this up a within a week from the actual holiday. I hope you enjoyed and that it was worth it to read this.
If you want all the pairings, I'll share them:
Snivy + Oshawott - so cute :3
Leavanny + Unfezant
Ash + Dawn
Pikachu + Buneary
Pignite + an old Oshawott friend(it's a girl, of course!)
I personally have no loving relationships romantically, and I don't plan to until I graduate from college. I really don't have any interest in that mushy love stuff, but Snivy and Oshawott together is just too much! If you noticed, I didn't make it so it's all kissy and lovey and romantic and... run on sentences? Anyway, favorite, review, and follow so you'll be updated with all the stories! Thanks for reading, and don't forget to go to my profile and do the poll.
