Battle Field : Luxury Cruiser

As I expected…I haven't seen Green for a while now. I went to see Bill and he gave me some cruise tickets for helping him, to be honest a cruise sounds quite exciting. I journeyed to Vermillion City after that to get my next gym badge…only there was a stupid tree blocking the way. Damn it! That tiny insignificant tree! Even though it is within my capabilities to climb over it, sidle past it or use my Charmeleon to burn it down…I just couldn't. I needed the CUT TM. That was the only way that I could possibly destroy that crappy excuse for a tree and continue on with my journey! (Even though climbing over the fence next to the tree would've been an easier option than wondering around the region trying to find a single TM). Well since that I'm here maybe I should visit the S.S Anne, might as well take advantage of this free ticket. I gleamed as I walked on the dock towards the leisurely ship.

"Wow! It looks amazing!" I gasped in awe as I reached the entrance.

"Excuse me, do you have a ticket?" The sailor at the entrance asks. I flashed my S.S Anne ticket exaggeratedly in his face…because that's what all female Japanese characters do; be over-dramatic. "Great! Welcome to the S.S Anne."

I waltzed onto the cruiser in a blissful manner. This place is huge, it's stunning. You'd think a ticket for a cruiser as fancy as this would have the owners name on it, interesting isn't it. I don't know how they didn't find it strange that a teenage girl happens to have a ticket for an expensive luxury cruise like this. Oh well, I think I might check out my room first. Hmmm...better ask someone. I walked over to the first sailor I see.

"Excuse me but do you know…" I got cut off by him.

"The passengers are restless from their long voyage." He warned. "You might be challenged by the more bored ones."

"I see…um, thank you very much." I smiled and walked off…You'd think on a luxury boat like this it'd be hard for passengers to get bored. I guess I'll just have to find the room myself…shall I try going into every single room on the ship uninvited? I don't know if this is a good idea…but somehow I feel like I have the power to do it and not get kicked off the boat for invasion of privacy. I pranced over to the first door on the far right of the 1st floor and with a huge smile I flung open the door and walked in. Oh…an old man. Maybe I'll ask him something. I gracefully walked over to the old man.

"Excuse me…" I said softly.

[BATTLE THEME MUSIC GO!]

"W-what?" I shouted but before I realized it my Charmeleon was out of its Pokeball battling the old man's Growlithe.

[Cue Victory Theme]

I quickly dashed out of his cabin and stood there dumbfounded. You can't be serious…I'm going to have to spend my time of this ship battling people. Battling…when I should be ordering room service, swimming in their pools (if they have one, if they don't this place doesn't deserve to be called a cruiser), flirting with their waiters, looking at the beautiful ocean…but I have to battle people? I sighed and then traveled to every other cabin there was searching for someone who was normal…I mean searching for a hot battle. I never did find my own cabin…that's when I realized that I never had one to begin with. The only reason why my Pokemon are still alive is because this kind lady let me rest in hers. After wondering around aimlessly battling every trainer I can see I finally finished exploring the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and top floor…Sweet baby Togepi, this place is like a battle field. I guess the last place to explore now is the captain's room…not very wise but I'll check it out anyway. As I make my up towards path corridor leading towards the Captain's cabin I hear his door open…is that…oh Arceus.

"Bonjour, Leaf!" Green threw me a charming smile. I can probably imagine what he's thinking in his head.

'Oh hello loser. Fancy meeting you here. Were you even invited? Blah blah blah Pokemon + Pokedex blah blah blah battle NOW! blah blah blah. I am God's gift to women.' Something along the lines of that…

"Hello Green." I tried smiling at his arrogant face. It's kind of hard when he basically confessed his love to me a while ago and pretends nothing has ever happened.

"Imagine seeing you here! Leaf, were you really invited?" He gave me a you-probably-mugged-some-poor-guy-for-that-ticket-but-you're-not-even-dressed-properly look. "So how's your Pokedex coming?"

"Hmm…this is looking a lot like my imagination. I can probably guess what's next." I muttered softly to myself.

"I already caught 40 kinds, pal. Different kinds are everywhere." Green tried to speak as if I know nothing of the subject. "Crawl around in grassy areas, and look hard for them."

[Initiating Pokemon Battle – The love of your lif- I mean Rival Green would like to battle]

[Green was easily defeated…like always]

"Humph! At least you're raising your Pokemon." Green flicks his hair back dramatically with a smirk.

"…..ahuh." I only managed to cough out that.

"I heard the CUT master was on board but he was just a seasick old man." Green shakes his head in disapproval. "CUT itself is really useful. Yup, it'll be handy. You should see him, too. Smell ya!"

"Hey Green…" I said before he could even move. "Why are you always telling me these things? Why are you giving me advice?"

"Well you're always falling behind me so naturally I should help you out, seeing as I'm such a gentleman." Green's arrogant voice got more conceited.

"So it isn't something else?" I looked him straight in the eye.

"W-what else could it be?" He asked. Feeling aggravated by his attitude I took him by the hand. "W-whoa! What are you doing?"

"Is it not anything else?" I asked softly. Why am I suddenly doing this? This is weird.

"N-no." Green pulls his hand out of my grasp and adverts his eyes. "Hey…can you stop touching me from now on."

"W-why? What's gotten into you all of a sudden?" I asked feeling hurt by his demand.

"I can't concentrate when you're always clinging around me and touching me all the time!" Green yelled. "It's better for me and my journey if you'd just leave me alone!"

"….Green, ask yourself." I gave him a cold stare. "Why can't you concentrate? Why can't you keep your calm around me but around everyone else? Why do you let me touch you? Why do you help me?"

"What are you talking about?" He stares at me for a minute.

"Why did you feel like kissing me?" I asked bluntly. "What am I to you?"

I could see Green's face explode with a deep shade of red as I said the word 'kissing', he must have remembered what he said before. I think I hit a weak spot; he's embarrassed. Ahhh…he looks kinda cute right now…makes me want to tease him. I carefully push Green towards the wall and stare intensely into his eyes. However, now I feel like I'm getting lost in them…crap…what was I suppose to do next? I stand there with my arms pinning Green on the wall in silence. Without thinking I lean in closer to his face and closed my eyes. What am I planning to do? Do I want to kiss him? What would happen if I do that I wonder….nothing good. I quickly flash open my eyes and pull away from Green. My face flushing in fury as I try to apologize.

"S-sorry! I don't know w-what came over me! I-I just…it's not like I was t-trying to do a-anything bad!" I fidget with my skirt nervously as Green stares. "S-sorry you must have been s-shocked. P-pretend that this n-never happened! B-bye now!"

I quickly rushed up into the Captain's cabin and slammed the door shut.

...Ah damn it, I really am in love with the guy.
