"Not all strong pokemon are the fully evolved ones, ya'know!" Candice trudged through the snow towards the two rivals. "My Weavile was strong enough to take down most challengers even back when she was a Sneasel!"
She squinted at the blonde boy. "I remember you. You challenged my gym not too long ago... What are you doing back here? You won already."

Jun ran his hand through his excessively crazy hair and saw some snow fell. He frowned then his face twisted until anger as she jumped up and started stomping around. "This isn't funny, Hikari!" Snickering could be heard from behind him, as he turned and saw his Torterra doing so, and then stopped and pretended to whistle innocently.
"Best. Partner. Ever." Oh, the sarcasm. And then Hikari's exclamation. Today wasn't a good day.
"Thick?! Do I look fat to you?! I can't ask a simple question friend without being called thick, can't I?!" He flailed his arms, trying to defend himself, and yet, another voice emerges.
"Oh. It's you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did beta you already! But I'm here for training purposes! Say, Lady, do you know a good spot to train?"

Candice tilted her head and thought of an answer for the boy's question. "Well, I find that the best way to train is against other trainer's pokemon! You can battle a few trainers in my gym..."
She smirked. "But maybe they're not on par with you. If you want, you can re-challenge me." She raised her fist in the air. "I promise I won't hold back this time!"

Hikari frowned and stepped forward. "No way-- He already battled you! I want my chance now! Wait a second," she trailed off with a devilish grin appearing on her face. "You won't hold back this time? You held back while you were battling Jun before?"
She erupted into a fit of giggles and grinned slyly at her friend, waiting for his reaction.

Jun's cheeks tainted themselves a faint glow of pink, betraying him almost like his Torterra does on a daily basis, as he puffed his cheeks out and glared at Hikari. "This isn't funny! She definitely did not hold back! How can she do that when I beat her so easily?!"
...
"Oh." A pout formed along his face when he started to flail his arms again, stomping the snow beneath him and jump while mumbling in anger. "That's not true, that's not true, that's not true! I won fair and square and easily too!"

Hikari's grin widened, and she turned her back to her friend, waving her hand dismissively. "Yeah, yeah. Sure you did. I'd tell you to prove it with a rematch, but..."
Her eyes shifted towards the gym leader standing nearby as she trailed off. Hikari bit the inside of her bottom lip, the familiar rush of a challenge igniting, and put her hand on her hip. "I'd like to challenge Candice first."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night, kiddo~" She chuckled, before turning back to Hikari. "Gladly! We can start as soon as you'd like, my Pokemon are in tip-top health!" She gave the young challenger a warm grin, before turning around.
"I'll be waiting in my gym. Hopefully it won't take you too long to figure out the maze!" She yelled over her shoulder, heading towards the gym.

"Hey, wait!" Jun shouted with all the air and force his lungs could provide him with, a fist being thrown in the air as his orange eyes glowed with anger. "You didn't let me win! I won by myself, fair and square!"
His pout that he was wearing on his face at the moment could rival that of a spoiled princess, his arms crossed and his eyes anything but happy or understanding. Though he was glad that Hikari was going to get her 7th badge (about time!), he still felt insulted, and if not, a little hurt.
"Iwannaseeyoubattle." He said quickly in a grumble, his words jumbled together as so she could hear, but not exactly.

Hikari's ears perked at the sound of her friend's mumbling, and she looked back at him curiously, her hands clasped behind her back. She blinked and walked back over to him. He had spoken too fast for her to understand him.
"Hmm? What did you say, Jun?"

He grumbled more under his breath, his eyebrow twitching as his Torterra rolled his eyes- so many times today, eh?- and nudged his trainer some. Jun noticed and glared at his starter, who only glared back with as much intensity back. Fine, you win this time.
"I-I said I want to see you battle!" He said more loudly, his cheeks a tiny bit tainted, as he looked away, his eyes still angry. "N-Not because I want to see you battle, exactly, but to prove to you that I won that badge fair! If you can beat Candice, so can I!"

Hikari grinned excitedly and jumped up in her spot quickly. "You're going to stay and watch my battle?" It had been so long since she had been able to spend time with her best friend and hearing that he was planning on staying to watch her get her next badge made her absolutely ecstatic.
She grabbed onto his hand led him into the city in search of a Pokemon Center. "I want to get my Pokemon checked out before I battle Candice!"

"well, I planned on staying anyway to train!" He said with a pout, as she took his hand in hers, making the small blush already on his cheeks even brighter. "J-Jeez Hikari, you sure are excited over nothing, aren't ya?! I'm just staying for training and junk!"
Girls. he thought with an eye roll as Torterra chuckled behind the two, following them happily.

"Hmph." Hikari stopped abruptly and let go of his hand, turning around to poke him in the chest. "I never get to see you anymore! I'm allowed to get excited over spending time with you."

Jun groaned a bit, out-stretching his arms and hands behind his head and shrugged, looking towards the sky. "That's more your fault for not getting all the badges fast enough. We could train together if it wasn't for the fact that you're so slow!" Torterra's nose and Jun's side introduced each other once more as Jun had to catch his footing, glaring and pouting at his starter. Tor' nudged at Hikari, making a slight clicking sound, as Jun just raised a brow at his Tor', wondering what the hell he was referring to. Jun then decided to shrug it off, grabbed Hikari's hand and walked towards Snowpoint City.
"So slow."

"Slow isn't always a bad thing," she murmured. "You always go so fast, and sometimes I worry that you'll miss things. It's easy to get carried away like that...." She sighed and smiled back at him sheepishly. "I guess it doesn't really matter though, huh? No matter how slow I'm going or how fast you are, we always seem to find our ways back to each other, and I figure that's what counts."
Hikari felt her cheeks heat up and prayed that Jun would think she was red from the cold. She squeezed his hand lightly and continued walking alongside him.
