Red sat on the plane to the Kalos region. His thoughts were turmoil, a mixture of nerves and excitement. He had heard of the Kalos region from his friends and if it was like anything they said it was; then it would be a brand new experience. Especially if what he had heard about the Pokemon was true.
"Excuse me? Is this seat taken?" Red's thought's snapped into focus. He turned to look up at a girl with ocean eyes and soft thick brown hair that was tied up in a pony-tail. For a brief moment red imagined what it would be like to run his fingers through her hair. With a shake off his head Red banished that thought. "N-no. This seat is vacant." The brunette laughed slightly at his stutter before she smiled at him and sat down, settling her bag by her feet. Once she was settled she turned to face a blushing Red. She held out her hand for him to shake.
"My name is Touko." Red took a hold of her hand and shook it.
"The name's Red..."
~Later on the plane~
Red risked a third glance at Touko who was sat with a book is her hand. Two more glances later he heard Touko sigh. "Is there something i can help you with Red?" With a gulp Red shook his head. He paused in his action. This was it. This was a chance how to get a conversation going. Red coughed deep in his throat. " sorry. I was just wondering what you was reading." Touko's eyebrows raised in slight surprise. She closed the book in her hand so that Red could see the cover title. THE CREATION OF UNOVA. "oh..." Red was speechless. A warmth tugged at his chest at hearing Touko laugh. "You seem speechless Red. Don't worry. This isn't a very good conversation topic." Touko laughed once again, her voice sounding like silk to his ears. The sound of her laughter sent of a chain reaction and he to also began to laugh. Finally after a few moments he hiccuped the laughter away. "So... Are you really into-" Red waved his hand at the book. Touko shook her head. "oh god no."
"Then why are you-"
"-reading it?" Touko finished off Red's sentence. "It was my friends idea, Cheren. He's making Bianca read it too." Touko chuckled briefly and wiped at a stray tear. "I just know that's going to end badly. Bianca had the attention span of a three year old." Red's mouth flopped open saying the most intelligent statement yet.
"oh..." Touko nodded at his response. She opened her mouth to reply when a chime echoed around the plane.
"Attention all passengers. Due to the Gastly putting the pilot to sleep we will be doing an emergency land near Castelia city. Thank you for remaining calm." Red groaned at hearing the announcement whilst Touko muttered a few choice words under her breath. Finally she glanced at Red.
"You okay?" The question hung in the air for a few moments before he replied.
"No- no I'm not. I need to get to the Kalos region and the flight.is halted." Some more time passed between the trainers without either one saying anything until the plane had landed.
"...also i’m hungry." At that moment, as if it was supporting what he had just said Red's stomach rumbled. Touko laughed and shook her head.
"Well your in luck. Hunger is something I can help with. She stood and pulled Red onto his feet with her. "Come on." Red frowned.
"Where are we going?" In response Touko just giggled...
~Later~
Touko laughed as Red finished telling a story about his friends last Halloween and how Gold had been dressed up as a fairy princess. (a story for another time) In between his telling of the story Red licked at,his Castelia cone. He paused in his walking to lick up the icecream thrat was trailing down his finger. In between licks he mumbled
"hmm... Castelia cones sure taste awesome." Touko nodded in response.
"come on; we had better get to the plane." Ref nodded his agreement and began to walk beside Touko to the plane...
~Later~
"What do you mean the plane left!?" The assistant shrugged apologetically.
"I'm sorry but it left ten minuets ago." Red growled and glared at the women.
"But what about my luggage; how am I meant to get to Kalos now?" The attendant smiled once again apologetically.
"We'll store your luggage at the airport and put you on the next available flight." Red's lip curled up at the comment before he turned and stomped off...
Red stood next to Touko who had just hung up after talking to her blond headed friend, Bianca.
"Sorry about this Red." Touko said apologetically. He shrugged in response. Touko sighed.
"Well it's been nice knowing you Red." Red glanced sharply at Touko. "It's time to do the dreaded phone call."
"Home?" Red guessed. Touko shook her head.
"No, to Cheren. I need to tell him what happened to his book." Red watched ad Touko typed in a number. The phone rang three times before it was answered. A boy with blue, black hair and wearing glasses picked up. "Hey Touko- okay what have you done?" Red's expression mirrored Touko's. Shock. "How do you know something is wrong?" The nerd boy sighed. "Your expression." Touko's cheeks turned beetroot. "Okay. I'm just going to say it really fast. IhavelostyourbookandnowitsgoungtotheLalosregiononaplane. I'm so sorry Cheren." Cheren's face flushed red.
"WHAT!!!!"
