2nd Encounter : 2nd Battle

I didn't see Green for a while after that. Somehow I got the feeling he was purposely trying to avoid me…Even after I defeated Brock, evolved my Charmander, journeyed through Mt Moon, beat some Team Rocket members and won the Cascade Badge…I still didn't meet him. It was not until I headed North of Cerulean City to its cape when he finally appeared before me.

"Yo! Leaf!" Green called out as he walked towards me. "You're still struggling along back here?"

"It's nice to see you too." I commented sarcastically.

"I'm doing great! I caught a bunch of strong and smart Pokemon." He boasted out loud.

"You've always been a modest person." I said in a cynical voice.

"Here, let me see what you caught, Leaf!" He smirked as he summoned his Pidgeotto in front of me.

"Again?" I sighed as I called out my Charmeleon. "Come on out."

*Insert relatively UN-epic Pokemon Battle here*

"Why does he keep asking for a battle if he's just going to lose?" I mumbled to myself.

"Hey, guess what?" Green perked up again. "I went to Bill's and got him to show me his rare Pokemon."

"Really? That sounds great." I feigned a smile.

"That added a lot of pages to my Pokedex" He smirked at me but his eyes showed a sort of condescending look. "After all, Bill's world famous as a PokeManiac. He invented the Pokemon storage system too."

"Wow…that's kind of amazing." I commented.

"Since you're using his system, you should go thank him." Green suggested. "Well, I better get rolling! Smell ya later!"

Green casually walks away as I stare in disbelief. He lost but then acts as if I was the loser this round. Green then suddenly stops, flicks right around and walks back in my direction. Is he coming back to gloat some more about nothing or what? I gave him an indifferent look as he stood before me.

"Oh, yeah, right. I feel sorry for you. No, really. You're always plodding behind me." Green swipes away his fringe in a narcissistic fashion and then hands me a Fame Checker.

"A Fame Checker?" I looked at him curiously.

"A chatty gossip like you…That's the perfect thing. I don't need it because I don't give a hoot about others." Green taps me on the shoulder while giving me a little smirk. "All right, this time I really am gone. Smell ya!"

"W-wait." I cried as he was about to turn and leave. "U-um thank you."

"What for?" Green asked nonchalantly.

"For the present…I mean." I blushed a little in embarrassment and adverted my eyes from him.

"…..it was nothing." He mumbled. We stood in an awkward silence for what seemed like eternity.

"Um…we didn't get to hang out last time…so…" I murmured softly but it only seemed to make the conversation more awkward. "So…can we…today?"

"…." Green glanced at me but didn't reply.

"Green?" I asked. No reply. I could feel my face just brighten up with embarrassment at the suggestion.

"…it's fine." He answered faintly. I felt the corners of my lips curve up slightly into a little smile. I ran over to his side.

"What shall we do then?" I asked cheerily.

"…..ugh." Green uttered and just looked at me as if I said something weird.

"Huh? What's wrong?" I asked as my expression turned into an anxious one.

"Don't make that face." Green demanded bluntly.

"Face?" I looked up at him ever so confusingly. "What face?"

"I told you to stop doing that! Stop making all those faces!" Green snapped. "You think I'm immune to everything? You think I'm perfect?"

"W-what are you talking about?" I shouted back in irritation. "And you already think that of yourself!"

"You're forbidden to look at me from now on." He turned his head away from me. The serene mood that was just here a few moments ago suddenly disappeared.

"H-huh? What kind of demand is that?" I retorted.

"Just…don't!" Green then whips his head back at me and squishes my cheeks together. "THERE! That face suits you a lot better!"

"Unhan meh! Henraii! Perbert!" I released muffled noises.

"I-I am not pervert!" He quickly lets go of my face and then wipes his hands on his pants.

"Bastard!" I exclaimed as I rubbed my cheeks. "Just because you got embarrassed last time doesn't mean you can bully me."

"What brought that up all of a sudden? And to hell with you! I wasn't embarrassed!" Green defended himself by throwing insults back. "I was just laughing so hard at your stupid face."

"Grrr…why you." I grumbled. Damn it. Green's really starting to make me angry now. He's always making me angry…or maybe my temper is just bad? At any rate I feel like teaching him a lesson.

"You really have no sex appeal at all! You're like a man!" Green continued to spew out these sort of things. "Arceus almighty! You must have been born the wrong gender…"

"H-hey you're going a little off track here, pal." I gave him a death glare.

"Maybe you should go catch a Jinx and learn a thing or two from it; it's considered a goddess compared to you." He chuckles and swipes a little part of his fringe away. "I mean I'd help you but it'd just be a waste of effort and time."

"Are you done being a cynical ass yet?" I asked angrily.

"And another thing why do you wear a skirt? If I had an ass that big there's no way I'd be wearing a micro mini." Green looked at me with an expression of disdain and then shivered.

"Hey, won't you stand still so I can bash your face in with my bag?" I suggested joyfully.

"Well make me blind so at least I won't have too look at you anymore." Green smirked.

"W-what? That is no way to talk to a girl!" I shouted.

"Girl? Where?" Green quickly turns his head to the left and then to the right while feigning confusion. "I don't see any. All I see is a big ugly Primeape."

"Geez…don't you think you're going too far today?" I asked dejectedly.

"No. Why?" He turns to smile at me.

"I see." I could feel the corners of my lips dragging themselves down.

"Hey. You can't be that upset right?" Green asks looking a little guilty.

I walked over to him and then leaned against his body. This will teach the bastard. I'm going to make him feel so guilty and smitten that he won't know what hit him. I looked up at him with teary eyes and then wrapped my arms around his waist. I could see Green's face turn bright red…but he wasn't pushing me away.

"You know Green…I…I…" I started to say in a soft and vulnerable voice. Heh. Can't resist can you? I'm too cute aren't I?

"Stop. Don't make that face. Get off me." Green commanded bluntly.

"Green?" I stare up at him adoringly. "Green…about you…I"

"Stop it." He turned his face away from mine. What? Is my seduction technique not working? Damn! I should've gone for the sexy girl method.

"Why?" I stare at his face and pressed my body closer towards him.

"Because then I'd want to kiss you!" Green exclaims and then pushes me away.

"….." I stand there emotionless trying to render everything into my head. "…Eh?"

"…." Green looks down at me with a look of utter shock. "…..shit."

"Green…did you really mean that?" I asked but regrettably my cheeks lit up like 1000 red New Year lanterns.

However, before I knew it his back was already 10m away from me as he ran with lighting speed towards the city

"This conversation never happeeeeeeeeeeeeened." He calls out in the distance.

…Hmm…I don't think I'll be seeing him for a while.
