A... Walk...

Shupple

“D…do you want to go straight back to the mansion?” I asked nervously, this idea suddenly coming back into mind. I didn't exactly want to leave this place. It was nice... being here with Mear. Just us two instead of people crowding us like we were something famous...

“Maybe... Maybe we could just walk for a bit though...” Mear left off, his voice shaking a little. I felt a light blush, but then I realized that if I was to go outside, what would happened the splotches on my skin? Will there be more or... what? My eyes darted down to my arm, uncertain on how to reply, but it seemed that Mear noticed me looking at my arm and looked it almost in a confused way. I didn't want him to see the splotches... It would be embarrassing...

“That would... be nice,” I told him quietly, my face now turning to a bright red, and surprisingly, so did Mear's.

We paused a little before we stood up and started for door. In the corner of my eye, I saw the Gardevoir wink at me and mouth, “Good luck.” I smiled and blushed a little as we headed outside and I opened up my parasol. I was thankful the wind not being up too high.

We walked into the Town Square and found it less busy. It was mainly covered by teenage couples, but it was more girls then guys in the Town Square. Girls that were desperate or whatever else. I didn't like girls like that, but I dealt with it around me if I had to.

We walked slowly through it, girls giving Mear looks of desperation, and giving me death glares. I heard one girl talking, and found it was just another bratty girl that loved to spread rumors. I ignored her and we walked on, and came upon a park.

The park was a Pokemon park, filled with different types of flying, normal, grass, and even fire and water Pokemon filled the park, which, when we entered, a little Linoone came scampering up to me and wanted to be petted. I bent down and started to pet it, and smiled.

I then bent back up and smiled at Mear, who smiled back in a small way. I went over to a bench and sat down on it, the Linoone following and once I sat down, so did Mear right beside me. The little Linoone jumped up onto the bench and laid on it between Mear and I.

I looked around the park and saw a lot of little Pokemon scampering about, looking at us from time to time. The Linoone jumped off the bench as a little Teddiursa came up to us and suddenly, grabbed each of one of me and Mear's legs and pulled them together, which made me blush bright red, and Mear blush bright red also.

It was just a little awkward, but it wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be, since there were Pokemon all around me. It made me smile a lot when the little Linoone came back and jumped onto my lap and I started to pet it, smiling almost completely. I looked over at Mear, and noticed a little Smeargle was at his feet. Cute.

It seemed that the little Smeargle was trying to tell Mear something, which made me laugh a little, and almost giggle.

I couldn't believe that I was having a good time. I couldn't remember the last time I had had so much fun. I was smiling, but then again, I was with Mear, which made me blush when I thought his name. That's different... but... I was enjoying being with him... I think. A new happiness, with just a small walk...
