Mankey Business | Cannon & Mei
It was a shame, she had wanted to listen more about his history. She knew people were most passionate or sincere when talking about their pasts, but she guessed it was fairly too early for deep conversations. She noted to herself that she had to slow down, she was always known to be a fast person. Taking it slow was a challenge for her. As he told her about his past though, she pictured a young boy frolicking happily and innocently with an Eevee and inwardly giggled. How adorable.
"So, you came from Unova, and youāve seen Sinnoh as well? How long have you been traveling?ā
She was a bit hesitant to answer. Mei has been encouraged many times to challenge the Pokemon League by the people around her including gym leaders that she has defeated but felt like she couldnāt do it. "I started my journey two years ago, but I only have the Unovia badges, hehe." She laughed lightly with a sheepish smile, as if trying to excuse herself. She wasnāt good under pressure, and felt like the Pokemon league was a maths exam and Mei absolutely hates maths exam. But a part of her still longs for it too, a part of her wants to feel that flair when she does beat the Pokemon league. It was a troublesome and conflicting emotion. She brushed it aside.
"What about you?" She asked curiously, interested. So far, she has only seen his Umbreon, so she assumed he had just started. But then again, he has only seen her Flygon too, so it was better not too judge too quick and listen. She eyed him subtly but closely, watching his reactions. Mei found her new friend somewhat extremely cute, now that she has a good look at him and his features. Her eyes moved to his lips and images of them clashing with herās clouded her mind. She shoved those thoughts down a hole, this was no time to think about that stuff.
There was an immediate shift for Cannon. She had EVERY Unova badge!? She was suddenly really intimidating to the teen, even though to lock eyes with her he'd have to look a few inches lower than his own gaze. He felt as though he should be worshiping the ground on which she walked! "So, what about the Elite Four? Am I go- Are you gonna be champion?" That was close. Cannon almost asked her if he, himself was going to be kissing a champion anytime soon. He didn't know why... it was just what he was instinctively going to say. He must have been getting tired. He hoped. "Oh, me?" The youth sighed. Compared to Mei's, his accomplishments were pretty measley. He'd mumble his answer so hopefully she didn't understand him and would move on. "I'vegottwobadgesfromKanto." When he'd won his second badge, he felt amazing, and unstoppable.. but this girl was his peer yet better in every single way, and he'd only found that out after he'd already developed a minor crush on the girl. She was obviously the complete package. Cannon continued walking next to the girl, getting slightly closer with each step, until his arm brushed hers and he felt her warm skin on his. It sent a chill through his body. Wow. She was electrifying. Suddenly, it was all happening so fast, he was leaning in towards her, faces nearly in contact, when the boy pulled away. Hopefully she wouldn't notice that anything had even happened. Good luck with that. No one's that oblivious. You just blew your only friendship.
