     Should I knock? Should I wait for her to call? 

     There stood Gary Oak pacing outside of a girl's door, over-thinking such a small detail, trying to figure out what would be the smoothest move. Should he knock, to let Misty know that he and Umbreon were here to pick them up for the picnic they had planned? Or should he wait, not wanting to seem overly anxious to see her? After all, they'd been spending quite a bit of time together lately and he didn't want her to get the wrong idea. He couldn't risk having her think that he had a thing for her, because that would be absolutely true f a l s e.

     Raising a hand to eye level, he nearly knocked it against the door, but pulled his hand back just in the knick of time, knuckles silently grazing the paint. Umbreon, who had been standing at the researcher's side the entire time, stood on her hind legs to paw at the trainer's hand and turned, hopping over to the curb in one swift motion and sat down, swinging her tail against the ground next to her. Immediately understanding, Gary obliged and went to sit next to her, careful to not get his jeans dirty or sit on a rock.

     The Moonlight Pokemon quickly squirmed around until she was curled up, head in her trainer's lap. Patting her head, he sighed. "I know, girl. I'm being stupid." Pulling out his PokeGear, he sent his sister a text to tell her that he wouldn't be home for a while--though she probably wouldn't either, considering she'd just found herself a new boyfriend--and checked the clock. If they left now, they'd probably get to the spot just in time to set up and watch the sunset during their picnic. 

     The Kanto native rubbed at Umbreon's side quickly and patted twice, to let her know he was about to get up, without even saying a word. He almost reached into the back seat once he got up, for flowers that he bought her, but ditched on the way there, since friends didn't get friends flowers for friendly picnics. Stepping up to the door with his best friend at his side, he readied his hand to knock, and.... ultimately just rang the bell.

          "'Sup? Ya ready?"

I’m so sorry I haven’t been on lately!! I just haven’t been in a good mood to write, plus I’ve been really busy with house work and family stuff, but things should be back to normal around June 5th ( in America, for my friends on the other side of the world xD )

[egotisticaloak]

I'll be doing Misty's reply(s?) when I get back in a little bit! ^^

[wisemeowth]

Meowth’s eyes narrowed, teeth gritting in frustration. He knew he couldn’t hold up against six Pokemon—he could barely handle just one, let alone six! Without shattering his own pride, he would have to make some sorta get-away. He didn’t want to look like he was running away, but rather, simply getting away, because that allowed him to not get caught whilst still looking pretty darn cool.

"Not on your life, kid!" With those words, he turned and bolted, figuring that line alone would be enough to make his great escape seem somewhat collected.

[egotisticaloak]

     Does he really think it'll be that easy? Now, as of late Gary had been finding some long overdue kindness that he'd been lacking as he traveled through Kanto and Johto, when he was trying to beat Ash in the race to collect the gym badges. He didn't really want to be mean to Meowth, but he couldn't just let a criminal escape, could he?

     Tossing out a Pokeball, he pointed to the ground, just in front of Meowth's feet and commanded nonchalantly, "Blastoise, ice beam." Hopefully that would slip him up and create an opportunity to get him to Officer Jenny.

Just made myself garyoak.co.vu but I'm not sure whether I like it more or less than a plain url xD Can I get opinions?

[wisemeowth]

Meowth scowls at the insult, and proceeds to back quickly away from Gary, annoyed at the boy’s attempt at turning him in. “Hey, bub, I ain’t done nothing wrong as far as you know!” he snarled, ears sweeping back in irritation. With a hint of a smirk, he added, “You’re welcome to give me reason to, though.”

[egotisticaloak]

          "Really? Because I seem to remember you and the other two morons trying to steal some Pokemon eggs a while back. And attacking my grandfather's lab!"

     Gary was starting to anger himself, remembering his encounters with Team Rocket. Thankfully, he regained his calm demeanor after taking a breath and remembering that he was about to get Meowth put behind bars, or worse. Who knows what they do to talking criminal Pokemon. Maybe they get put down. 

          "That's hilarious. I dare you to try and see how long you last before the six friends I'm carrying with me overwhelm you. Face it, you're getting locked up today."

[wisemeowth]

"Nice to see you remember me."

Arrogance replaces whatever anger had previously arisen within the scratch cat, and he gives the boy a once-over, trying to jog his memory. He knows he has seen this human somewhere before. He’d victimized so many people that the name just wouldn’t come to him, though. ”Who’re you again?”

[egotisticaloak]

          "It's tough to forget the most annoying creature you've ever met. Person or Pokemon."

     He remembered his encounters with this strange talking Meowth, but he never expected to see --him? her?-- it again after he stopped traveling. He slipped the ball back into the pocket of his lab-coat, dreading the thought of ever carrying the cat with him.

          "The name's Gary. And your name is gonna be Prisoner 53278 when I turn you in to Officer Jenny." Cue the teen reaching out to try and get Meowth to take him to the police station.

[egotisticaloak]

Random praise to tell you that I'm so, so, SO glad that you're my Gary and that you do a super amazing job of writing him ♥

♥♥♥♥ w OW thank you ;~; I just feel priviledged to be your Gary tbh and you have no idea how happy this made me. and if I’m an “amazing” Gary then that must mean you’re Misty for real bc you’re that perfect okay ?? ♥♥♥♥♥

[wisemeowth]

"Oh no ya don’t, buster! If you think you’re just gonna waltz over here and jam me inside some crummy Pokeball, you’ve got another thing comin’!"

[egotisticaloak]

          "YOU TALK!?"

     This was a once in a lifetime opportunity! A talking Pokemon! He could research this thing and help every Pokemon learn to speak!

          "----WAIT. I know you. Don't I? You're always with those two Team Rocket idiots."

[egotisticaloak]

Okay. I got those starters out, but kept them short so we can dictate how they go depending on what you're up for! And if you still want one, you can like this post, like the old one or hmu with an ask~

[egotisticaloak]

     In a rush to deliver it to his grandfather while it was still hot, he bumped into an unfamiliar male, dropping the the steaming liquid onto him.

          "Oh shi-! Are you alright!?"

[egotisticaloak]

     Time to catch a Meowth.

[[ A short one-shot/super long drabble based on an AU where it was Gary, Ash and Misty traveling through Kanto instead. ]]

     The sun began to fade over Kanto, as it did every night. Tonight however, was special. Umbreon had just decided to come out of her ball, no doubt getting ready to eavesdrop on her trainer as he made a fool of himself later on, or else she would have just slept after the long day and intense battle she had.

     Ash, oblivious to Gary's plan, just as he'd hoped--it made it much easier to keep it a secret from Misty--was walking a few paces in front of his two traveling partners. An eager tone to his voice, the naive teen called out to them casually, as he began to sprint forward. "Hey, guys!! I'm running up ahead, I think I see a wild Pokemon!" and, in a few moments, aside from a cheerful "Pika, Pika!" the boy and his companion all but faded into the setting sun. 

          "ASH! YOU CAN'T JUST RUN AHEAD AND LEAVE US BEHIND LIKE THAT YOU JERK!!" Misty's temper was flaring--though that wasn't unusual for her at all--and she seemed to be ready to run after him until a calm hand clasped on her wrist. "Misty, you know it's too late to stick with him. It's a straight path, and we're gonna catch up just by walking. Let's take it easy for a while."

     It was an odd feeling for the girl to be calmed so suddenly, but Gary's words soothed her almost instantly, and she saw the logic behind them. Perhaps neither of them noticed, but they'd shifted closer together as they walked at a leisurely pace down the route. Their Pokemon definitely noticed however. Togepi started to squirm in the water specialist's bag, and not even her loving trainer's arms could make the small Pokemon comfortable. Thankfully, there was a certain fox-like Pokemon walking directly in front of Misty, intentionally walking slowly for the sole purpose of waiting to have Togepi set on her back, so they could ride off ahead, giggling.

     After the friendly creatures pranced up ahead, just beyond the hill, Gary saw his opportunity at the only chance they'd gotten to be alone in quite some time. The researcher jogged up ahead a few paces and turned to face the gym leader before coming to an abrupt stop, and she'd nearly bumped into him. Luckily, she was able to set her hands in front of her and the teen only received a light nudge to his chest.

          "O-oh. Why'd you stop like that?" This was it, the moment for Gary to swallow his pride and just tell her what was going on. His back faced the sunset, the entire sky around him orange and pink. It was beautiful, but he could think of a sight he'd much rather look at. And he was looking at it. At her.

          "Misty..." Oh no. After all his preparations, the hundreds of times he'd rehearsed in front of the mirror at the different Pokemon Centers... there wasn't a single word he could force out. His mind raced, and this was becoming one of the rare occasions the infamous Gary Oak could ever be caught his red cheeks. 

     Shit shit shit shit... The silence was definitely noticeable now, and it was getting embarrassing. Misty looked like she was getting annoyed. Damn it. He had no choice.

     A slight hesitation at first, Gary leaned in swiftly, not allowing her a chance to move before his lips pressed against hers in a kiss, tender and lonesome, she wasn't returning it. Pulling away, he looked down, quickly turning, face growing hotter with dread of having to look her in the eye ever again. He'd misread their entire relationship.

     He took a step towards where Ash and the Pokemon had headed off to, but he stopped dead in his tracks when he heard her voice. 

          "Gary..." Misty set a gentle hand on his shoulder, and all he could do was look back at her, unable to spit out a word without choking first. "What took you so long?" A sly smile smoothed out over the red head's beautiful features and she bit her lip, almost immediately pulling him back to her and letting their lips meet again.

                             This was definitely mutual.

Aaaaaand Gary's staring at Misty's 'shorts' while she's bent over.

❝Having fun?❞

               She’d hit him— 

                        but the embarrassment over being caught would probably be worse.

[maritiime-blog]

             ❝My hands?❞

                        Okay— he’s sort of off the hook for now. She narrows her eyes at him, more so in confusion than irritation, and not-so-subtlety clasps her hands behind her back.

                         ❝You want to help pick up water bottles?❞

                Her worst habit had to be leaving dirty clothes and water bottles all over the place. Thankfully she’d already dealt with the dirty clothes before Gary had appeared.

                                       ❝Sure. I wouldn’t mind some help.❞

            Back on the hook. Because of course, he could just admit what he was really staring at, and he wouldn’t have to help her.

                            ❝Get that one down for me.❞

               And, somehow, in between one of the rafters, was a full bottle of water.

[egotisticaloak]

     You have got to be kidding me. 

     If only he'd thought it through a little more before making the poorly thought out excuse, perhaps Gary wouldn't be in the position he was in. But there was no going back now, was there? He couldn't just tell her what he was really looking at, nor could he deny her the help she asked for even if he did.

          "...yeah." He groaned quietly as he backtracked a few paces to try and find himself a way up to the rafters--after all, she had to have gotten up there somehow, right?

          "How the hell did you even get up there...?" Well, he had no choice but to give it his best shot, right? With a running start, the researcher ran directly at the wall before hopping into the air and kicking off of the wall, just barely able to grab the rafter and hang on. The only problem was, it was the wrong rafter. Using as much strength as he felt like he could muster, he pulled himself up and hung on it, bent in half with only his abdomen against the rafter as he reached forward to grab the bottle off of the other rafter. In the process, he'd given her a great view of his backside in return.

          "Don't be looking at my 'hands' either!" Gary chuckled softly before allowing himself to fall back to the ground, landing perfectly on his feet. Had he given himself up in the name of teasing?
