im very sorry to anybody currently confused by my writing... ill probably be revising everything post exams but right now im in a bit of speed writing spree and trying to balance life

331. equanimity: evenness of temper, especially as a characteristic state

Green was pleased by Pidgeotto's drastically improved flying style. For a while, they flew with the Wingulls that were on their way west, and despite his normal objections to flying with wild flocks, Green was pleased by their speed and maintained equanimity.

332. peevish: irritable; querulous

After several hours, the sun had set and Pidgeotto was straining his eyes to see land. Green had released Umbreon for her night vision, and then she demanded that he release Espeon as well. With 3 bodies on his back, Pidgeotto had become a little peevish, and Green freaked out when Umbreon called something out and the bird dove down sharply.

After landing in a flurry of feathers, Pidgeotto deposited one agitated human and two Eeveelutions. Umbreon had guided the bird right to the door of Professor Oak's laboratory, and Green rummaged through his pockets to find the lab key. Since he and the professor often spent long nights on certain projects, sleeping quarters had been added to the laboratory.

333. waddle: to walk rocking from side to side

Pidgeotto waddled a few steps into the building before cawing and demanding that Green recall him. Green did so absentmindedly and weighed his options. He felt obliged to say hi to Daisy but it was indeed 9:30 PM and an odd hour to drop by unannounced. It'd been a long day, and he just wanted to avoid talking and excitement in general.

But Leaf must have planted a tracker on his phone or something, because just as he was flicking on the light in the sleeping room (not quite a bedroom, more of a cot-room) she texted him.

9:37 PM - Leaf: get ur ass over to Daisy's

9:38 PM - Green: wtf

9:38 PM - Green: how

9:38 PM - Leaf: im at her house so hurry up

9:38 PM - Green: wat

9:38 PM - Leaf: im watching u

9:39 PM - Leaf: literally on the GPS

9:39 PM - Green: ...

9:39 PM - Green: ok coming (sent)

Green sighed and rubbed his forehead before flicking off the light and proceeding to dim all the lights he'd just turn on. Professor Oak was gone, as expected, but the place was clean and dust free. Somebody would probably come in to check the next morning and freak out at the miraculously, ghost opened doors.

334. gross: total, entire; glaringly obvious, flagrant

Espeon retired to his pokeball but Umbreon remained out, reveling in the familiarity of the dirt.

9:44 PM - Leaf: walk faster pls (read)

Green deadpanned and clicked through his phone to disable GPS functions.

9:45 PM - Leaf: lol dude i implanted the chip in your phone so you cant delete it

9:45 PM - Leaf: btw Daisy makes good bouquets

9:45 PM - Leaf: i might steal some for Yellow k

9:46 PM - Leaf: Red's bouquet probably gross value of $250 at least nice (read)

Green deadpanned. How many flower did Daisy use?

9:48 PM - Green: can u check if she used a juliet

9:48 PM - Leaf: wtf is that (read)

Green attached an image of his prized flower and sent it.

9:50 PM - Leaf: ya i think so haha (read)

Leaf replied with a picture of the bouquet.

335. skew: to place at an angle; to cause bias in or distort

True enough, the bouquet centered around a single Juliet, it's pearly and translucent pink petals forming the centerpiece of white and very pale pink flowers. Some of the lilies were stylishly skew, but they were arranged to attract attention to the beautiful rose.

9:52 PM - Green: omg

9:52 PM - Green: thats rlly pretty but holy shiet thats like $360 with just juliet and elodie asiatic (sent)

He switched out of the chat screen and found Daisy's contact.

9:53 PM - Green: Daisy wtf pls y u do this (sent)

He waited for a reply, but after a minute there was none so he pocketed his phone and picked up the pace. Just another block and he'd be at Daisy's.

336. humdrum: dull; routine; commonplace

9:56 PM - Daisy: Hi Green! I thought you'd like paler colors

9:56 PM - Daisy: Like Red's skin ;)

9:56 PM - Daisy: I was going for an all red bouquet at first but their color doesn't last too well in cold, right?

9:56 PM - Daisy: Don't want my bouquet to look humdrum after only a week or so (read)

Green sighed yet again, and instead of replying, walked up the few steps to Daisy's front door and rang the doorbell.

337. marshal: to arrange in order

Green carefully marshaled his thoughts to prepare an appropriate expression for Daisy when she opened the door. He decided on a reluctant smile, because he really did like the bouquet even if it ate another chunk out of his wallet. He'd probably have to stay at Viridian to work for half a busy year to make up what he lost. Heck, he might even start up another job like all the other leaders that did hobbies or other work outside of gym leading.

338. aggregate: total; clustered in a dense mass or head

Daisy opened the door cheerfully, before frowning at the cold and dragging Green in the door and slamming the door shut.

"Hey I know you didn't want me to use the Juliets but they make such a nice centerpiece! Here here, I just finished arranging a couple hours ago!" She pulled Green by the elbow into the kitchen, where the bouquet sat wrapped carefully in plastic and tied with a red and green ribbon. The aggregate flower bloomed proudly at the center, its swirls of fairy pink petals blushing.

"It's really great... Thanks Daisy." Green broke free of Daisy's grasp to examine the flowers. Daisy watched her little brother in pride, before hugging his back tightly.

"You really need to visit more often..." She murmured.

"OkbutI'mchokingDaisy-"

339. intemperate: lacking in moderation; excessive

Leaf was lounging in the living room, chugging a beer.

Green raised an eyebrow.

Ever since Leaf had visited Kalos, she took to occasional but intemperate drinking. Green had probably gone through two beers in his whole life, and here was Leaf drowning in around four.

340. veer: to change in direction

"Yellow thinks I'm straiiighttt~" She cried out. Green veered to the side as Leaf reached out to grab him. "She thinks I like you but you like Red and so she's- she thinks she's supporting a lo-loooove triangle~" Leaf sang out the last two words a little sarcastically. "She leeeeft Greenie, she le-e-eeeft..." Leaf was crying into the couch. Daisy nudged him.

"It was supposed to be a girl's night thing since my husband left for a business trip this afternoon, but it somehow turned into this..."

Green cursed the horrors of alcohol and rummaged through Daisy's allergy medicines and hodgepodge of medications to find sleeping pills. "Leaf can get pretty impulsive when she's drunk, so let's get her sleeping before she tries to jump in the ocean and drown her sorrow..." Daisy disappeared into her room and came back, tossing him a package. Oaks had a thing with insomnia, and though he'd gotten over it with some counselling, Daisy had never quite pushed herself to.
