Thread: Hello Cold World (Octy & Jester)

"Yeah, definitely. I don't have many pokemon that are strong enough to take down a gym leader that we don't have a type advantage over," Rex said. Ace the Pidgey would probably be Rex's strongest bet in this situation, seeing as he had the Flying type which really could help.

"Well, Winter is the only Pokemon I have with the advantage," Luna responded, "But the others do need training as well."

"Yeah," he nodded his head. "So, should we head out now?" he asked, pulling his bag onto his shoulder. "Or is there anything you want to do before we leave Violet?"

"No, I think I'm good," Luna smiled as she slightly blushed.

"So let's go then," Rex nodded his head.

OOC: Time Skip!
===========================

About 15 minutes later, Rex had grabbed a few Pokeballs, potions, and some various other supplies that he would need to get to Azalea Town. He remembered that there was a cave on the way to Azalea Town, so more supplies would definitely help. He also grabbed a burrito from the Pokemart which he would eat on the way.

"Are you ready?" Rex asked to Luna.

"Yes," Luna answered nervously, "Just make sure that I don't get eaten by Zubat when we go into Union Cave."

"I've got us covered," Rex said, gesturing to Dynamo's pokeball. For whatever reason, Dynamo hated Zubats and would do anything in his power to take them down, no matter what the circumstances.

He stepped out of the Pokemart, looking towards the rising sun to see where the route was. "Do you see where we're supposed to go?" Rex asked to Luna, shielding his eyes from the bright light.

"I can't see much," Luna winced as she grabbed onto Rex's hand for a moment, "Can I tell you something while you can't see my red face?"

Rex was a little surprised when he felt Luna's hand close against his. In no means was it a bad surprise; Rex just wasn't suspecting it. He had been trying so hard to keep last night's kiss out of his every conscious thought, he had almost forgotten what had even happened. As soon as he remembered though, it was hard to keep out.

"Uh... sure," Rex said, unsure as to what she was going for.

"I think I like you," Luna confessed as her blush deepened.

Rex turned around, looking at Luna in the eyes. His dark brown eyes connected with her green and blue eyes, and, for the first time he met her, Rex took a step back to appreciate all that he saw. He couldn't deny, Luna was beautiful. Rex was surprised that she was even interested in him, with his hyperactive personality.

"I think I like you too," Rex said, smiling gently.

Luna gasped and blushed as Rex had responded to her in a positive way.

"R-really?" she asked, "W-wow...that's awesome."

Rex smiled and laughed a little at Luna's reaction. This was part of the reason why he liked her, the way she acted around him. It all just seemed so... natural to Rex, in ways that he couldn't easily describe. Rex just felt like the girl he had grown to like over the past couple of days was the same girl he would know forever.

"I didn't kiss you last night for nothing," Rex said, hoping that that would explain how he felt about her. Of course, it was rather vague, as a kiss to the cheek can common hello/goodbye gesture in certain areas of the world. Nonetheless, he hoped that his message was conveyed.

"I wouldn't be able to kiss you like this if I was lying," Rex said before he leaned in closer to Luna. Brushing her black hair against her cheek and tucking it behind her ear, Rex delicately kissed Luna on her scarlet lips. He was trying to not go too far with it, and the fight to resist the urge with Luna was almost overwhelming. Regardless, Rex managed to hold on, only kissing Luna gently and sweetly.

Luna gasped and blushed during the whole kiss. It was her first kiss after all. She couldn't describe how she felt, but it was something she would never forget. It was a wondrous feeling that she never wanted to go away.

Rex would let Luna pull away. He knew that if he pushed her past her comfort level, things with them could be ruined forever. But, as far as Rex could tell, Luna was enjoying their kiss. He wouldn't want to end the kiss if she didn't want to, as he was enjoying probably just as much as Luna was.
