The Normal You : The Embarrassing Me

After that I journeyed towards Viridian City. Now…Should I take a left or go straight? I think maybe I'll take a left turn here into Route 22. I walked casually past the tall grass, battling every Pokemon coming my way. Ah! A path! I quickly ran onto the path and followed it nonchalantly…until that is I heard something disturbing.

"Hey, Leaf!" A familiar voice shouted at me. I quickly snapped out of my careless trance and looked straight ahead of me…it was Green.

"Oh Green!" I smiled unconsciously as he walked towards me.

"You're off to the Pokemon League? Forget about it!" He scoffed.

"Pokemon League? What are you talking about?" I questioned feeling genuinely confused. Hmm…I should really use my map more often.

"You probably don't have any badges, do you? The guard won't let you through without them." Green smirked as he conveyed his super-awesome-clever-intellectual knowledge.

"Doesn't that mean you just tried to enter without any-" He cut me off.

"By the way, did your Pokemon get stronger?" He asked and then suddenly whipped out his Poke ball.

"Huh?" I jumped back as he sent out his Pidgey in front of me. "A battle? Now?"

"Come on! Take me on Leaf! I'll show you that I'm truly superior." Green flicked his hair back and waited for me to send out something.

"Don't you already do that every day?" I commented under my breath. "Alright! I choose you Charmander!"

*Epic (not really) Pokemon Battle!* [cue battle theme]

"Huff…puff." I gasped for air as the battle ended. "I won."

"Awww! You just lucked out." Green withdrew his Pokemon.

"Well it doesn't look like your ego is hurt." I remarked sarcastically.

"Hmph I heard the Pokemon League is crawling with tough trainers." He dismissed my comment as if he never even heard it. "I have to figure out how to get past them."

"…You defeat them." I stated obviously.

"You should quit dawdling and get a move on!" Green exclaimed and walks away from me.

What? We suddenly meet up like this and all he wants is a battle? Isn't that just a little too rude? We've been together for so long and he expects me to just take that? I quickly turned to see Green disappearing from my sight. Battling this, stronger that. Is that all he thinks about now? Really…he could be a little happier to see me or at least be happy for the RIGHT reasons. I don't want to be someone you come to just for battling…idiot.

"Green!" I yelled without thinking and started running in his direction. "Wait!"

"Hm? What?" He turns around reluctantly. "Re-match?"

"What? I already whopped your ass." I muttered. "No…I just thought it'd be nice if we hung out together. Since we're not going to see each other for a while."

"Not a chance. I have some business to take care of." He turned around again.

"Like Pokemon training?" I glared at his back.

"If you understand then why don't you take it more seriously too?" He then began to continue walking.

Damn it…what the hell? Just who does he think he is? I grind my teeth together furiously at his huge ego, probably the size of Mt Silver. I quickly caught up to him but I continued to run past him. I then stopped in front of him and spread my arms out to block his path. He's not going anywhere until I get a respectable answer.

"That's no way to talk to me Green." I scolded. "I just want to spend some time together…is that so bad?"

"Stop wasting my time." He sighs and then tries to walk past me.

"No." I followed his movements and then clung to his back. "Not until you give a decent answer, not that attitude."

"W-what are you doing? G-get off of me, you weirdo." Green then starts flailing his arms in all different directions. "What if people are watching? Argh! Stop it, you perverted girl!"

"Hehe that's the Green I know." I smile lightly as he turns his head to look at my face.

"…..fine."He sighed in defeat. "But only for a little while."

"Yay!" I hugged him tighter.

"W-whoa! Let go or I'm gonna kick you!" He blushed.

"You wouldn't dare." I smirked.

"O-oh yeah?" Green tried to look as if he was accepting my provocation. "…Ugh"

"Well shall we go?" I let go and started to lead him back to the city by holding his hand.

"Let go of my hand." Green demanded.

"Nope~" I said in a sing song voice. "This is punishment for speaking to me rudely."

"Tsk…pesky girl." He let his hand fall limp and I continued to drag it along with me.

"If you dislike it so much you could always pull your hand away, you know?" I smiled. "But you're not."

"I was just about to do that!" Green then quickly pulls his hand out of my grasp.

"Hehe…you're so cute." I laughed.

"Shut up!" He started to pick up his pace and walked straight past me.

I giggled at his dishonesty as I trailed behind him. He's so much fun to tease. It's a good thing he's back to normal…I wonder why he was acting so differently before. I hope he'll be like this the next time we meet. I love this Green the most. He's still arrogant and dishonest but at the same time…he's lovable and cute. The Green from before…is strange; cocky, self-indulgent and somewhat heartless. I look up at the man walking in front of me. I wish I could just casually reach out and touch him…I wish I could just hug him and hold his hand everywhere. Hmph…how foolish. I laugh at my thoughts and then picked up my pace to walk by his side.

"What shall we do?" I looked up at him lovingly.

"…Ah." Green stopped in his tracks and stares at me.

"Huh? What's the matter?" I stop as well. Green doesn't move. "Green?"

"…" He continues to stare at me.

"Hey…." I lift up my hand to touch his forehead. "Are you feeling alright?"

"Yeah…I'm fine." He finally spoke.

"Oh then why'd you stop so suddenly?" I asked.

"Because you were looking at me like that." He answered casually.

"Eh? 'Like that' you say?" I cocked my head over to one side, in confusion, as I take my hand off his forehead.

"Yeah…." Green then lifts his right hand and places it on my cheek.

"Green?" I stare up at his face. It was as if he's lost in a trance…so pretty. His eyes are so green; they're like the colour of peridot. I never noticed how remarkable his jaw line looks.

"You're making that face again." He spoke softly as he caresses my cheek.

"You're acting weird." I said. Did I say it? I hope I actually did.

"If you make that face then…" Green wouldn't take his eyes off me. He slowly bends over towards my face.

"Ah…." I couldn't manage to say anything else. My body was immobilized…or was it that I didn't want to move? Which is it?

"Then…" I closed my eyes as Green draws closer. "Then I'm just going to puke on you."

"Huh?" I opened them back up to see him with his back to me. "….Excuse me?"

"Like I said! Geez, don't go making weird faces, it's disgusting!" He face palms himself. "I thought I was going to gouge my eyeballs out!"

"Bastard! What did you say?" I exclaimed in anger.

"God! Did you really think I was going to kiss you?" He then started to laugh hysterically. "Ahahaha! You were closing your eyes and everything!"

"Hey! Turn around so I can kill you." I tapped Green on the shoulder firmly.

"Never! I'm not going to look at that face again." He refused and turned his back towards me.

"Grrr! You're pissing me off-" I flung him around and stared…at his….

"Ugh!" Green covered his face with both of his hands.

"….Why.?" I couldn't get the words to come out. "Why…are you…so red?"

"….Because I was laughing so hard! Good-bye!" Green yelled at my face and then ran away quickly.

So much for hanging out with me…
