That was what you were in his eyes. The poor fan-boy could literally go on about you every single day.
Watching you perform in the contests with all your favourite pokémons and then seeing you battle the same day in the gym had him wondering that how could you even do such tiring work in a single day.
The blonde haired, hyperactive kid just wonders that where does all his crazy self confidence goes when he sees you.
The over confident guy who goes around yelling that he's fining everyone just looses his words seeing you around.
Something about you was exceedingly alluring and he couldn't figure out what it was.
Seeing those pretty E/C eyes locking their gaze with his orange ones even for that one split second surely did drove him crazy over the edge that all his friends had to lock him up in his room because he wouldn't shut up about you.
Even though he tried to talk to you, actually confess to you, he found himself dumbstruck.
Maybe one day he would be able to talk to you, befriend you until he finally admits his feelings which he kept cinched to himself for the longest time he could even imagine.
