Searching for Love

CHAPTER 7: An electrifying love

CHAPTER 7: An electrifying love

Time had passed since Oshawott proposed to look for the perfect mate for him. He had made two failed attempts with Pidove and Snivy, but that didn't stop him to continue his search.

Days after Ash had won his third gym badge, he, together with Iris and Cilan, went to Nimbasa City for his fourth badge. In the trip, a girl called Bianca had joined. She was nice and very energetic. The four of them continued together until reach the next place that came first.

In a very cool day, Ash, Iris, Cilan and Bianca were lunching a delicious food that Cilan cooked. Everyone enjoyed it. Later, Iris wanted to give the dessert: freshly picked apples; but it seemed that they didn't like the idea so much, they wanted to eat something more gourmet than just simple apples. For Oshawott, it didn't matter, he went out from his Poké ball and decided to eat one. They tasted really good. Approved by Oshawott. Iris was happy at least that someone liked the apples that she picked. She threw one to Axew, but it bounced on his nose and went rolling down to hill. He, like a good kid that he was, went running to search for it. The others had to go after him so he didn't get into trouble.

Later, the fruit stopped when it crashed against a rock stuck in the ground at the bottom of the hill, while Ash and company were going down. When they came closer to Axew, they saw that there was a new Pokémon in front of him with the apple on its paws. It was like a kind of yellow rodent, white and blackish, and it had some membrane in its arms. Ash scanned with his Pokédex and they knew that it was an Emolga. She seemed to be confused by the presence of humans around her. Afterwards, she said and very adorable attitude: "What cute guys we have here!" It seemed that she made beat the hearts of the Pokémon who were present, especially Oshawott. That voice, that fur, those colors, that shape, that adorable face. The otter thought that she was a very cute female Pokémon. Was that maybe his chance to get a mate?

The Sky Squirrel Pokémon gave to Axew the apple that he had been dropped down the hill, and the young dragon thanked. She later caressed him with her tail as she said that he was a good boy. Oshawott noticed that Emolga was very kind and affectionate with others. He knew that she was a very cute and nice girl. That made his heart beat even more.

Iris, as a gratitude for giving back the apple to the Tusk Pokémon, she said to her that she could take apples from her tray, and Emolga gladly accepted. However, nobody noticed that Bianca was running down the hill at great speed towards the flying squirrel, just to hug her tightly by so much cuteness that the girl felt. It was so much that she was making the electric-flying Pokémon uncomfortable, it even seemed that she was suffocating her. It seemed that the girl with the green hat wanted to belong Emolga, but the others said, if she wanted to catch her, she had to battle the Pokémon. Bianca accepted the idea as released the flying Pokémon from her arms; Emolga was almost out of breath from the tight hug.

Bianca took out her Minccino to try to catch Emolga. The battle began. The others saw how the battle was developing; Oshawott, meanwhile, was very thoughtful. He was thinking a lot about the sky squirrel. She was a very pretty girl that he had just met. It seemed that he was charmed by her, but he was still thinking. What if she was his girlfriend? It sounded like an excellent idea, but one thing was missing, something that triggered even more his love for her.

Just then, in middle of the battle, Bianca's Minccino used Hyper Voice that got Emolga vulnerable. Afterwards, he tried to use Tickle, but everything stopped by an Emolga's electric attack: Discharge. The move didn't only affect Minccino, but also the others that were behind from Bianca. She, Ash, Iris, Cilan, Pikachu, Axew and Oshawott got affected. The last one found what he was looking for, although he was in type disadvantage and the pain was immense, the love for Emolga didn't scorch, it continued growing and growing. It was like he accepted gladly that Discharge that would do so much damage to anyone. He was happy and in love, in the most painful way possible. It was decided, she was going to be his mate, and Oshawott would do anything possible to win her heart.
