???'s POV 

We were heading to the airport in an hour or so and I was completely packed, I decided to check on my room mate to see how he was doing with his stuff. As I walked into his room I saw him sleeping in his double bed, I searched the room for a packed bag but there wasn't one to be found. I ran towards his bed and shook him violently, "What are you doing?!?!" I shouted at him. He rubbed his eyes wearily and scratched his head, "Just getting so shut eye," he replied to me arrogantly. I pulled him out of bead aggressively and dropped him on the floor, "What's wrong with you, Red?!" He exclaimed as he finally got up. 

"You haven't even packed! We have to leave for Alola in an hour and your here sleeping! Now you get dressed and pack! Don't forget your Pokedex as we will see lots of new pokemon when we stop in Kalos!" I stormed out of the room as I heard the faint voice of Blue saying, smell ya' later... I began wheeling my suitcases to the living room when I heard the door bell ring, I sighed before opening the door. A girl with brown hair pushed the door into my face as soon as I opened it and walked in, "Red! Red? Where are you?" the girl shouted. I pushed the door to and coughed, the girl turned around and ran towards me, "Red are you okay? What happened?" I rolled my eyes and grabbed her shoulders, 

"I spontaneously pulled the door into my face," We chuckled and walked further into the apartment. I took her bags and put them beside mine, Blue burst into the room suddenly and seemed very panicy. He was hardly dressed, he was in his boxers and socks holding his white button up shirt in his hand, "W-what happened? Is everything okay?" I slowly covered Leaf's eyes and looked to the floor. "Oh..." I heard his door slam shut and then looked back up again and uncovered Leaf's eyes. "Just Hurry up! Okay Blue!" I heard a muffled reply from Blue's room but I couldn't quite make out what he said. 

I began to panic as it was only five minutes until we had to leave for the airport, I walked to his door and knocked on it aggressively. "Blue! C'mon hurry up!" I shouted. Leaf ran towards me, she stood back from the door and pushed me out of the way. "I think I just saw the cab and I really want to make it to Alola already!" She ran to kick the door down but as she was about to make contact the door swung open. Consequently, rather than kicking the door down she kicked Blue down, and even better she kicked him right where it hurts. "Owww..." Blue curled himself on the floor and moaned. Leaf was lying flat ontop of him, she looked as if she was hugging him but Blue didn't seem to mind. I walked towards them and mocked them, "Oh c'mon guys grow up," I chuckled.

"RED!" They exclaimed as they pulled me down into the pile. We all laughed and rolled on the floor. This was of course, until we heard the door bell ring, we were heading to Alola...

LAYLA's POV 

As we looked around the airport excitedly, we spotted... Well Ash spotted some people who are rather famous in our home region. We scurried over to three people sitting in waiting chairs chatting contently, "A-are you Blue?" I stuttered, struggling to conceal my excitement. He glanced up at me and I saw his eyes glisten with awe, he stood up, "I am. And who might you be," I blushed as his hand brushed my arm. 

"I'm Layla," I answered, nervously staring at the floor. I felt a hand touch my chin and raise it so direct eye contact was made, once again I blushed. I glanced at Ash who didn't seem to care much about Blue flirting with me he was to busy talking to Red and Leaf, I put my attention back on Blue. "Aren't you champion?" I asked. He grinned at me, bearing a glint of his teeth temporarily before answering my question.

"No, That role was taken from me a while back. Buuttt, I'd be happy to be the champion of your region... We could build it together," His voice's pitch raised as he ended his sentence. I glanced over at where Ash, Red and Leaf had been previously but they dissappeared, I then looked to see where everyone else was. However they too had dissappeared, I started to imagine if I had just imagined all these people. No, I couldn't have . I began to feel my head hurt, it felt like there were tiny men pounding at my head. I began to fall forwards, I was still conscious I had just lost my balance. Blue caught me in his muscular arms and picked me up onto my feet, "Woooaaahhh! Are you okay?" He put one of his hands on my forehead before continuing, "You're really hot maybe I should get you something cold!"  He exclaimed picking me up in his arms, "There's a medical place near my gate , I'll take you." I felt too weak to talk so I simply allowed him to carry me to the doctors. 

Blue's POV 

We were at the walk in center in the airport and the doctor had given me a bag and an ice pack. I didn't know what was in the bag but the man in the airport just told me to give it to her and not to open it myself. I sat down and layed the Layla's head on my lap and rested the ice pack on it, "You didn't have to do this," she muttered. I hushed her and patted her arm gently, I did have to. I was a gentleman, I know I didn't give off that vibe but I was. People think I'm just the average player who flirts with all girls, however I  believe that all girls deserve to feel special. It really annoys me when females think I'm doing it because they think I think that they can't do things theirselves, I realise they are perfectly able to open doors and walk over puddles, but I want to make their lives easier.  "Where are you heading to?" I enquired looking down at her in my lap, "I'm going to Alola, 7:15 flight," she suddenly sat up. She looked at her wrist before tugging at my jacket, pulling me to my feet. "It's 7:12! C'mon I'll go to your gate with you!"  I grabbed  her hand and dragged her through the crowds of people. 

When we arrived at the gate she tugged me into the direction of a group of people, the group consisted of people with the following appearances: a honey haired girl wearing a dress with a blue ribbon; a black haired boy with a blue jacket and a pikachu on his shoulder; a green haired guy in a white jacket and black cap; another black haired boy with a male meowstic by his side., aswell as one more black haired guy with a blue jacket and a red and whit pokeball cap. They seemed to be talking to someone and as I joined the group I saw they were speaking to Red and Leaf, "Hey, guys!" Layla exclaimed putting her arm over  the first black haired boy's shoulder. The boy looked at her and put his arm around her waist, "Hi, I was wondering where you went," They kissed each other gently, I felt a twang in my chest as they did so. I touched my heart area and clutched it tight, "Blue! Are you okay?" Layla touched my hand concerned. I nodded to her. A woman walked towards us and beckoned us all onto a plane, I guess we were all going to the same place... 

On the plane I sat next to Layla and Ash , which I found was the name of her boyfriend, as we spoke I felt like I had just made a girl best friend. There was Leaf of course but I felt she was more for Red than myself, I thought about the feeling I got when I saw Layla and Ash kiss. It was almost like the pain of jealousy however it hurt more, not like if you had just lost hopes of maintaining a friendship. It was more, it pained more... 

Was this love? 

Was this it? 

I always imagined first love to feel exciting and beautiful, but this... This... This is melancholic and ugly... I would never get this girl, she is in love with someone else... I can see how they look at each other... I could see it all... Someone told me stay away from things that aren't yours, but this was so much more than resisting urges... This was like running from what felt like destiny... "Blue, would you like my number so that we can keep in contact after we part ways?" Part of this made me feel sad, I read something it said : Parting is such sweet sorrow. It was like that, the feeling of departure from someone important however you are thinking of your next meeting rather than being without them. I smiled at her and nodded gently, she passed me a peice of paper with her number on it, as I put it in my bag I felt the brown paper bag that the doctor man had given me. I hesitated for a moment, maybe I shouldn't give this to her now. I'll wait until our next meeting in person...
