A/N: I had been a long time since I've posted anything and I'm really sorry for that. Like what I've already said from the previous chapters, these stories were written a very long time ago and, to tell the truth, it had also been a long time since I've read the manga. I think the last arch that I read was about the Sinnoh Region. I've been really kinda busy lately.

So! I hope you'll enjoy reading this!

Sorry for any error or whatsoever.

Innocence and Stupidity

The Pokedex holders decided to meet up and have a walk in the forest. Once there, they talked for a while, catching up from each other's adventures, and then went on their own in the forest to explore for a bit…

IV. SpecialShipping (Red x Yellow)

Yellow is sitting in a meadow in the middle of the forest. Flowers are all around her, dancing lazily with the wind. She has her eyes closed with her sketchpad open on her lap. She's trying to draw something and concentrating hard on thinking about it.

"Hey, Yellow."

Yellow looked up and saw Red standing behind her. She gave him a small, shy smile before shifting her eyes back at the sky.

"Still haven't thought of anything to draw?" Red patted the ground beside Yellow and went to sit comfortably.

"As you can see," Yellow said with a sigh, showing Red her still clean page. "I'm still thinking about it. Care to help me?"

"Why don't you draw…" Red said, dramatically placing his finger on his chin as if thinking hard, "us!"

"U-Us?" Yellow said, her face blushing furiously.

"Yes, us. Every one of us roaming around this forest: you, me, Green, Blue, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and those three 'best friends', Platina, Pearl and Diamond, and of course, our newest member, that girl who's friends with Gold, Lyra." Red said their names as if really seeing them in front of him, his gaze far away.

Yellow let out a shaky laugh at her own ignorance. What was she thinking anyway, blushing like that because of the word 'us'?

"You could also insert our Pokemons in the picture. Or do you like to draw just them?"

"Hmmm… let me think about it first," Yellow said teasingly, tapping the end of her pencil at the side of her head. She already made her decision. Red's suggestion, though it's kinda hard, is really awesome.

"Ok!" Yellow cocked her head at Red's direction and beamed at him. "I'll draw everyone of us around here! Plus, of course, our Pokemons!

"Great!"

"Yes. But first I need to –" A sudden strong gush of wind made Yellow's hat fly off her head and seeing it get caught in the breeze made her to stop mid-sentence. She tried to stand up but Red was already on his feet.

"I got it!" Red chased her hat. He jumped high in the air and, with one clean swipe, plucked the hat out of the breeze, landing gracefully after.

"Oh my!" Yellow stood up and rushed towards him. Instead of giving the hat to her, Red placed it over her head himself. He just placed it on top so Yellow's ponytail is still visible.

Yellow gripped both the sides of her hat and looked straight up at Red. "Thanks, Red."

"Hmmm?" Red lowered his head to her level.

"What's wrong?"

"Pretty…" Red took off her hat again and raised it over his head.

"W-What?!" Yellow's hands cupped both her cheeks as she felt them burn with embarrassment.

"It's so pretty. That bow on your hair. Who placed it on you?" Red placed his hands on his hips and smiled as he stared down at the back of Yellow's head.

Yellow's hands shot up to touch her ponytail and the bow Red was referring. "Oh, you mean this? This is the one you're calling pretty?"

"Sort of. Yes. It sure looks good on you, though."

"Oh, that. Hehe… I, um, Blue placed it on me. Crystal and Lyra saw it somewhere and they said that they thought it would suit my ponytail so they bought it. When Blue saw it, she immediately tied it on my hair. She said it really brings out my 'femininity'."

"It sure does. Why keep it in this hat anyway? I really like you more with your hair down."

"Y-You like… me?!" It was just a mere whisper but shock is so obvious in it. Yellow felt her cheeks burn again.

"Of course I do! You are one of my closest friends!" Red beamed at her and patted her back reassuringly.

Oh no! She's getting everything wrong! What's the matter with her anyway?!

"Oh! Of course! Then I like you, too!" It sounded a little bit different when it was Yellow who said it but she just brushed the thought away.

Red patted her head and brushed her hair a little. He felt the ribbon in his fingers. It was silk. And the feeling of touching it was so good; it was so soft and smooth, felt like water in your fingers.

Out of curiosity and somewhat because of the good feeling it gives him, Red pulled it off of Yellow's hair.

"H-Hey, Red, stop!" But before Yellow could reach and stop Red's hand, he had already plucked it off and her hair came tumbling down. It was like a curtain falling down her back.

"Oh, sorry. I can't help it. They just felt great in my hands. So silky and smooth." Red said apologetically, scratching his head.

Yellow's hand touched her head and her eyes widened. "It does?"

"Yup. Here, feel it too." Red handed her the ribbon. Yellow took it gently in her hands. It was really smooth and silky. She frowned at herself. What was she thinking, again?

"That must be expensive."

"Oh," Yellow snapped out of her daze "yes. Crystal said it was from one of the boutiques that Platina's family owns. They told the owner they know Platina that's why they just got it at a cheaper price. But now that I think of it, maybe they got it for free, though…" Yellow said, thinking about it.

"Doesn't matter. It really suits you. You must thank them."

Yellow nodded in agreement and they were silent for a while.

"Why don't you put it back so you could continue your drawing?"

"Ok." Yellow smiled at him. Before she could gather her hair in her hands, another strong wind passed by but now a bit longer, making Yellow's hair fly all over.

When the wind calmed down a bit, Yellow flattened her hair and started to gather it when Red took both of her wrists and lowered them down. He was staring directly at Yellow's face, his expression unreadable.

"W-What's the matter, Red?"

Red was lowering his face to her. His stare was making her uneasy that she tried to scan her eyes around for a while. She could still feel him closing the distance between them.

What is he doing?! Am I misunderstanding this again? What should I do?! Yellow closed her eyes shut, clenching her fist and wishing for Red to get off.

But he didn't. Instead, he goes on lowering his head slowly.

Yellow couldn't take it any longer. Her eyes flew open as she readied herself to shout at Red. But what she saw made her freeze; Red's face is just a breath away from her!

I-Is he going to kiss me?! Why? No, no, no! This must be another misunderstanding! What am I gonna do? I need to think, fast! Her heart started to beat rapidly.

When Red still isn't stopping, Yellow took action.

"I'm so sorry, Red. I'm not yet ready for this!" She wriggled her wrists free from Red's grasps and pushed him harshly away from her. He got out of balance that he fell down; Yellow's hat fell off his grip.

"H-Hey, Yellow! I –"

"NO! I-I'm sorry! I JUST CAN'T!" Yellow scampered off back towards the woods when she heard him talk. Her heart isn't calming down and his voice isn't helping.

At first it was just long strides but not so long, she broke into a sprint and was off. She didn't even stop to pick up her belongings.

Before she disappeared completely in the woods, Red heard her scream, "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" and then she's gone and everything is quiet.

Red is left in the middle of the meadow still slumped on the ground together with all of Yellow's belongings.

Red stood up and scratched the back if his head. He stared at the direction where Yellow disappeared.

"What's up with her?" Red muttered to himself as he bent down picking Yellow's hat first then her sketchpad and drawing tools. "I was just sniffing the scent of her hair; it smells really good that I kinda lost myself."

He stared at the woods again. Red shook his head and started to walk. "Why is she so angry about that?"

Thanks for reading!

So how was it? I would really appreciate your reviews.
