Longest drabble up until now, but don't get use to it. Also, because it's longer I'm sure it will have lots of mistakes. Sorry about that.

This is kind of canon divergence where there was no island and Oliver and Felicity gets to meet in a different, more geeky way.

7-Pokemon Go

It had been a long night for Oliver. Which didn't mean that it had been a bad one. He had woken up 15 minutes ago in the arms of a redhead, both of them completely naked. He had been pretty drunk last night, celebrating with Tommy that he had finally grow a pair and asked Laurel out, the same Laurel that he had dated years ago and who had dumped his sorry cheater ass. It was a long story, but somehow she had managed to accept him as a friend again, mainly due to the work of Tommy as an intermediator.

Oliver had left the redhead's apartment inmediatly, not wanting to wake her up and start to give explanations of why he couldn't/didn't want to stay or repeat last night's activities. Many of his conquests thought that falling into bed with the billionaire Oliver Queen meant instantly dating him, and once they realized they were just one night stands they were left either in tears or screaming full of anger. But it was simple: Oliver Jonas Queen did not date.

So there he was, sitting on the sidewalk at 7 a sunday morning, waiting for the Uber he had just booked. The street was empty, just a couple of cars now and then. He was minding his own business (a.k.a. trying not to think to much on his hangover, so his head would hurt less), when something collided with him; or rather someone. He turned to see a blonde girl laying on the floor, her telephone mobile a couple of feet away from her.

"Frack!" she shouted, straightening her glasses and reaching for the phone "Frack, frack, frack... Please don't be broken." She stood up and let out a sigh of relief.

When she finally looked at the man she had crash into, a deep blush started to colour her cheeks, something that, according to Oliver, was really cute. "Oh" she said, trying to avoid his gaze "I'm sorry about that... I wasn't looking were I was going."

He stood up, a charming smile in place. "It's fine. No harm done. Are you fine?"

"Oh, yes. I'm used to falling. I'm way too clumsy. I was more worried about my phone. This baby is only two weeks old."

Her face lighted with a smile when she mentioned her telephone.

"Yeah... you sure were very concentrated in your phone not to notice me sitting here". It was an attempt of a joke, but he regretted inmediately his words when he saw her smile disappearing. "I'm joking. As I said, no harm done." She nodded and smiled again, but not as bright as before. "Can I asked you what you were looking on it?" he asked pointing to the phone.

Oliver didn't know why, but he wanted to see her smiling again. She was pretty even if she was clearly wearing no make up and what it seemed to be a panda sweater. Not the fanciest clothes, however, he was sure that she would look tremendously hot with a short dress.

"You are going to think that its stupid..."

"Try me."

"I was playing Pokemon Go." She said avoiding looking at him directly. "There was an Omanyte nearby that I wanted to catch..." she looked at her phone and sighed "but it seems that it has disappeared."

"You were playing Pokemon, this early on a sunday?" asked Oliver with incredulity.

"It's to avoid the judgemental looks, like yours right now." She answered, cocking her head.

"I'm not judging!" He exclaimed quickly. "I play Pokemon too."

That was the biggest lie that Oliver had said to anyone and he didn't have any idea why he had said it. Maybe he just wanted to keep talking to her. The curiosity in him craved to know more about her. "You do?" she asked. "Of course! I mean, who doesn't?" The only thing that Oliver knew about Pokemon Go was what he had heard in the news: that it was based on some old Game Boy videogame, that it seemed to be very popular and that people were doing the stupidiest things while playing it.

"Somehow I don't see someone like you going to a Pokemon Gym... more like a real one" Was his imagination or was she checking him out? "Don't you get weird looks from strangers when you play?"

"Well, I go with my sister." He was on a roll with the lies. "That way it seems less pathetic."

"That's a good idea. I had been thinking about adopting a dog and go for walks, to pretend that I'm not playing... or at least not to seem so alone while doing it... And by it I mean playing Pokemon. But my landlord doesn't let me have any pets in the apartment... I have heard that some animal shelters are suggesting players to volunteer to walk their dogs. That's a great idea, I may do that."

Oliver was shocked by the speed of the words leaving her mouth. He was pretty sure that if there was a Guinness Record for more words per minute she had just broken it. Before he could say anything else, his Uber appeared. He looked at the car and then at the girl he had just meet.

"That's my ride"

"Oh. Ok. " She seemed dissapointed. "It was nice talking to you..."

"Oliver."

"Oliver." She reapeted his name, smiling. "I'm Felicity."

Felicity. It certainly suited her. "Nice to meet you Felicity. I hope you have a good hunt for Pokemons"

"Thanks." She turned to leave when he called her again. "I'm thinking, maybe we could meet later and look for pokemons together. I mean... it would look less pathetic than going alone."

What the hell are you doing? He thought. Since when do you ask girls on dates? Much less dates that involve Pokemon? He turned the voice of his brain off. This, asking Felicity on a date, felt somehow right. He had never met a girl like her, probably because girls like her did not go out clubbing, and that's what he liked. He wanted to know more about her, he wanted to spend time with her, as if there was some kind of invisible thread pulling him towards her. And it was not just bout sex, but it was about the person, about getting to know someone.

"Sure!" She handed him her phone, smiling. "Put you phone number here and I will call you."

He did so, happily, and said goodbye again, unable to take his eyes off her figure while she was leaving.

He had a date. A play date. As if he were a five year old boy. And yet he couldn't stop smiling the whole ride to the mansion. There was only one problem, he had no idea how to play that Pokemon Go. However, that would not stop him from spending time with Felicity.

Oliver entered the mansion and went up the stairs, jumping two steps at the time. He got to his sister's bedroom, opening the door without caring about how much noise he was making.

"Thea!"

She woke up with a startle. She looked at the clock on her bedside table and then at her brother, who was grinning at the door. If looks could kill Oliver Queen would have ceased to exist in that same moment.

"What...? Oliver? What are you doing? It's not even 8!"

"I have a date and I need you to teach me everything you know about Pokemon Go."
