Espeon P.O.V

Another day at Pokéhigh. Another day in art.

Oh. No.

Arceus, please tell me that the Sandslash who saw me defenceless isn't the same one who sits next to me in art... Flareon and Glaceon warned me of the harsh neighbourhood, and I thought I was ready! Apparently not... That Sandslash was tough though - I mean, for a NU Pokémon. I can hardly believe he rejected Lucy the Lopunny! She's gorgeous! She has a mega evolution, and is fairly strong! Fair enough she may lack in some intelligence, but other than that, she has the whole package!

I feel a cold draft as the classroom doors open. So, another person chooses to come to art class early. I turn my head and-

Brilliant! There are still 30 minutes until class and Sandslash just has to turn up early too. He takes his seat next to me and welcomes the awkward atmosphere. "Thanks for the other day." The words flow out before I can stop them (come back words...) "No problem."

Silence.

"Why did you reject Lucy?" Espeon, shut up! "I didn't." He responds. "Well, apparently she leaned in for a kiss and you just walked off!" I reply. "So that's why she leaned in.." He shrugs. "Plenty more, intelligent, Magikarp in the sea."

She's going to need a burn heal for that!

"Are you single?" I must have gone bright red, because he seemed to be holding back his laughter! "Yes! Why must you know?" I reply sharply. "Well, we have this team project in art class coming up and I thought if I took you on a date you would work with me."

Well, at least he's honest.

"Why me?" "Wynaut." We exchange a warm smile. "I'd love to date you, I mean work with you!" Espeon, he is a Sandslash...Just stop. "Oh, and Espeon?" "Yes?" "Let me walk you home today.." I look over at him and his kind smile before just nodding.

Sandslash P.O.V

So...I did reject Lucy. Well, she is a bit too normal for me anyway. I'm still surprised Espeon thanked me, and then said yes to our date. I mean, I'm surprised she is working with me!

But, you never know...Something beautiful may come from this (even more beautiful than her smile.) A Sandslash and an Espeon... A Sandslash and a psychic type! That has a nice ring to it. Maybe we were born to be a team?

Or maybe I am just overthinking all of this.

Oh look, my favourite lecturer has arrived... Along with my favourite slideshow.

Focus on this, then the project, then Espeon. Just as I'm about to take notes, I feel something grip my arm. "Esp-" I stop saying her name when I notice who is standing at the front.

Bisharp.

That's the end of chapter three! Sorry about the late update! I will try and update sooner next time. Enjoy!
