Lavender Eyes - Allister X Reader

Chapter 6 - Chat In Glimwood Tangle

-I... I want t-to travel w-with you g-guys!

What?

-E-excuse me, Allister... What? You stared at him in shock. You start to sweat nervously. Your cheeks start heating up. Why is this happening?

-I... I want t-to travel... with y-you guys! Allister tried to stay determined.

Under his mask, his cheeks were heating up really bad. He didn't want to stay alone on his trips, that's why he asked them to travel with him! Who else could he ask, anyways... He had used up all of the confidence in his body at the moment.

Hop stayed there for a moment. He opened his mouth but then close it again. Bea was just staring at the three of you, uncertain of what to say.

-Of course, mate! You can come with us anytime! Hop gleefully announced.

Allister slows down his breathing and does a little sigh of relief. That was a big W for him. Meanwhile you, on the other side, had a little problem processing this new information.

Allister will travel with us! Allister will travel with us! Allister will travel with us! Allister will travel with me!

Bea stares at you and starts noticing all of your weird movements.

-...(Y/N)... Are you OK there?

You quickly stammer a 'Yeah' and stare at Allister. You were going to travel with this cute little boy- Wait, what are you saying?

-Well, I guess it's safe to say that I can finally leave you guys be. You can go start your little exploration now.

Allister, Hop and you awkwardly advance towards Glimwood Tangle. You say one last goodbye to Bea and start walking with your partners. As Bea's figure slowly gets smaller, you can't help but kind of feel nervousness and excitement.

***********************************************************************************************

The tension was still stiff. No one would even mutter a word during your escapade through Glimwood Tangle. Not a single Pokémon appeared through the grass. It was very, very awkward and you hated it. You wanted to try to strike up a conversation, but you couldn't really think of any good topic that would appeal to the situation right now.

-So um... Being a Gym Leader, am I right?... Hop stammered.

Allister looks back at Hop with an uncertain expression under the mask. You also didn't know what to say, either.

Then, Hop kinda got tired of this silence. He stopped dead in his tracks. He looks down and starts talking.

-ALRIGHT. Sigh. I know this is awkward, but... could we please just strike up a conversation? Please, guys?

He looks up again. Neither you nor Allister wants it to be awkward, but... how do you NOT make it awkward? You really had no idea how to respond to Hop's statement.

-OK... Well, we can just discuss... about... I don't know... Your Pokémon? Maybe show off our team a little bit...? You hesitantly blurt out.

-That's a really good idea, mate! Hop clasps his hands together with a smile.

-I'll go first; you suggested.

Pulling out all of your Pokéballs, you throw them each one by one.

-This is my Absol, he's a very nice little boy that warns me about the dangers. You point towards your Absol who proudly sits there.

-This is my Weavile, he's a nice Pokémon with an inch too much sassiness. You point towards your Weavile, who crosses his arms and does a cocky grin.

-This is my Thievul, she's a really cute and charming Pokémon. You point towards your Thievul, who smugly looks at Hop and Allister.
