Arashi was expecting someone to help him. However, what he didn't expect that the one who would help him would be so... Cute. Goddamn, with the heat that rose from her hotness, this was not a safe work environment anymore. The minute Arashi saw her, he knew right away that he might fall for this chick. [break][break]

She was a redhead, which pretty much meant that she was kissed by some sweet fire. Her eyes were emerald green, bright and beautiful. She had an impressive figure with fine curves. Arashi would consider her to be an 8 just from her looks. Maybe even a 9. [break][break]

When she walked up to him and held out her hand, Arashi smiled and reached out his own hand to shake her's. "Nice to meet you, Roan." Arashi said in a surprisingly calmer tone than normal. usually, when he met a girl that he liked, he would flop on his words or say something incredibly stupid. Maybe he was getting used to women now that he was traveling around the world? "My name is Arashi. Though... That may be too long to say. Don't want you taking your time calling my name during an emergency. You can call me Shi for short.". [break][break]

Roan asked him if he was new, and Arashi gave a light chuckle. "Yeah." he said. "I guess you're the person that's supposed to show me the ropes. I hope you don't mind having me. I'm a bit of trouble, so please teach me well." [break][break]

YES! That line was well delivered! Arashi was doing great! The best he had ever done with girls so far! He'd have to thank Natalie later for teaching him about women. Now that the introductions were out of the way, all he had to do was not fuck up- which, for Arashi, was the hardest thing to do. [break][break]

"Sorry... I just moved some things around by myself." Arashi turned and looked at the boxes that he had collected at the corner of the room. In total, there were five of them, and three more still to be unloaded. "These are the Safari balls right? We're supposed to give these to the guests?" Arashi had only visited the Safari Zone once. He remembered being given these strange capsules before entering. He only took three, so he supposed that's how many the customers were given. [break][break]

Arashi moved his eyes over to Roan, still not believing how cute she was, and asked her, "So boss. What are we to do first?"

Alright, everything was going well. Now, it was time for Arashi to do it. It was time to take things one step ahead. After talking to Natalie, Arashi had developed a technique that he liked to call the Triple Flirt. After flirting with Roan three times in a row, she should instantly fall in love with him, and maybe they could even go on a date together! [break][break]

No wait, that was too desperate and weird. Arashi remembered he had to be less complicated. More relaxed. He had to listen to the girl and make sure that she knew that he heard her. A light flirt would work just as fine as the Triple Flirt. [break][break]

He raised a brow when Roan proudly mentioned herself as the receptionist, even going so far as giving a pretend curtsy. "Well, aren't you important?" he commented with a smug smirk. She was definitely spunky, a type of girl Arashi wouldn't mind hanging out with. Maybe if he couldn't get her to be his girlfriend, they could just relax together as friends? But there was no way that he wasn't going to try. She was spunky, but so was Arashi. By the end of the day, she would belong to him! Or... He would belong to her. Whichever way was good enough for him. [break][break]

So Arashi was on ball duty. Arceus help him, it took all he had not to make an innuendo. Unfortunately, all he had wasn't enough, as he immediately said, "This is going to be the first time I handled someone else's balls." YOU IDIOT! Why did you say that? Now she is going to start thinking that you're weird! Ugh, it was even weirder that he didn't regret it. He actually thought that what he said was pretty funny. [break][break]

When she gave him a playful jab, Arashi laughed it off. However, the minute she turned her head, he began rubbing his arm profusely. Goddamn she punched hard. Was that just a steel type attack she hit him with? When she looked at him again, he went back to smiling and pretending that nothing was wrong. He'd have to ice his shoulder later.[break][break]

He listened to Roan explain to him what he had to do. The job seemed pretty simple. Pass out the Safari Balls to the guests and make sure they were well cared for. How hard could things be? Arashi chuckled, though, when Roan gave him a brow wiggle. That was definitely the sign he needed. He was in. Score! Touchdown. Homerun! This girl was his. All he needed was to say something that would get her to like him more. Something smooth probably? [break][break]

Arashi stood right beside Roan as he remembered a pickup line that his brother once said to a girl he worked with. How did it go again...? "An errand boy, huh?" Arashi said to the redhead. "Well... As long as I get to work near a cutie like you, Roan, I don't mind the job." [break][break]

Did he... Did he really just say that? Holly crap, she must've thought he was so corny. How did his brothers keep doing this with confidence? How did any guy do this with confidence? [break][break]

Suddenly, his cheeks became uncontrollably flushed, and he had to look away a bit so that Roan wouldn't see how red he turned. This was so embarrassing. He would need to go die in a corner somewhere later. [break][break]

The first customer came up upon Roan's call. He was a heavy set fellow with blonde hair and strangely beautiful eyes. Though, his eyes were the only things that were beautiful about him. He seemed angry... Very angry. Arashi could tell that this guy was going to be trouble. [break][break]

"I would like a Safari Ticket." the man said, cutting straight to the chase. "And make it quick. I've been waiting all day for you to open up! You should treat your regular costumers far better than this. Disgraceful."For some reason, he seemed incredibly furious today. It was almost like he woke up wondering how douchey he could actually be. [break][break]

Without thinking, Arashi just spoke out, "Does he have a wedgy stuck up his ass?" And completely fucked up his first day on the job. [break][break]

What the hell did I just say? Arashi thought to himself. [break][break]

"What the hell did you just say?" the man asked abruptly. Shit, Arashi was close to losing a customer. He needed to think fast and make up for this. [break][break]

"Um I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to offend you... It's reverse speak. Heh, yeah. It's new slang that the young kids are saying. When someone says they have a wedgy up their ass, they actually mean that they are having a fun time and enjoying themselves!" What in the world? How stupid was that? There was no way that this guy would actually believe- [break][break]

"Is that so?" [break][break]

He actually believed it. This guy was an idiot. [break][break]

The old, grumpy man looked over to Roan for confirmation.

Whew. Roan to the Rescue. Even though Arashi questioned what she meant by calling him a special sort, beggars couldn't be choosers when it came to saving his butt. A deep sigh escaped his lips when the old man seemed satisfied by the woman's answer and walked into the zone. Though, Arashi became a little stiff when Roan furrowed her brow at him. [break][break]

"I know, I know." he said, raising his hands up in a surrender gesture. "I don't know what came over me! Trust me, you won't get that out of me again." Once more, Arashi sighed. What a hectic beginning. This was always how things started for him, weren't they? First, things seemed tough, but then they got easier. Though, the beginning was most often the least fun for him. [break][break]

The next customer approached, an elderly woman. Arashi paid attention to what Roan did this time, noting every step she took, every word she said, and every hand movement when she made. After witnessing her for a bit, he figured that he knew the basics of what she did. [break][break]

"That's impressive." Arashi said, giving Roan a compliment on her work. "You move so effortlessly, like it's second nature. How long have you had this job, Roan?" She seemed pretty young, so it couldn't have been that long right? Maybe a few months, or up to a year? [break][break]

There weren't a lot of people inside of the zone yet, so he wasn't really needed. Though, it did seem like he would be requested soon, as a lot of people started coming in to purchase their time. Arashi guessed that everyone believed in the early bird motto, as literally over more than a dozen people suddenly streamed inside the Safari Zone. With Roan performing transactions with guests on her own, he was pretty sure that she would get overrun by customers soon. [break][break]

Now, it was Arashi's turn to come to her rescue! [break][break]

"Alright, I think I got this." Arashi said to Roan as he took up a station. "I watched you a bit, and I pretty much get what's going on. Let's work together to get this over with fast." Before Arashi started, though, he gave Roan a wry smile. "I'll try not to, but uh... If I say something stupid again, don't forget to stab me in the foot." [break][break]

With that, Arashi went to work. He was a bit slow in the beginning, but just as he predicted, he began getting the hang of everything. Soon, he was moving at a fast pace, or almost as fast as Roan. Everything was so simple and easy. Arashi could get used to this work.

Surprisingly, everything went smoothly after a while. Once Arashi got used to the environment, he started enjoying himself a lot, and he really hit it off with Roan. She was amazing. There was never a moment when either one of them wasn't smiling or joking with each other. Of course, he made a few flirtatious comments to her every once in a while. The more he did it, the easier it became. When he first met her, he was nervous and even screwed up once, but as he got to know her more, that nervousness started to go away. He learned a lot about Roan, something that he often didn't get to do with other women. Instead of seeing her as this alien which he could never understand, he started understanding her. [break][break]

They clocked out together. Both of them were caught in a fascinating conversation with each other. The subject of pokemon came up, and Roan had a lot to say. He could only smile as she told him what her favorite pokemon were. She mentioned some good water types she could have, told him how much she loved Leafeons, and even stated that she wanted a Tyrannitar. All of the pokemon she mentioned were pretty awesome, and Arashi could understand why she would want to get them. [break][break]

When she stopped herself from speaking, Arashi tilted his head to the side at her. He gave a shrug at her last comment, then glanced away as his cheeks became red. "I like listening to you." he told her. Though, unlike his other flirtatious remarks, that one sounded more genuine and less forced, as if he didn't need to think about it to say it. [break][break]

"But, um... Well, I got so many pokemon already. It's kind of hard for me to say what I would want next." Arashi had traveled all around Johto now. He'd seen so many pokemon and caught so many. Without a doubt, there wasn't a single pokemon he wanted that would make him jump for joy anymore. Though... There were still a few that were pretty cool. "I don't have a fire type yet. So, maybe a Torkoal? They look weird, I know, but I think they're also pretty adorable in a way. And, oh yeah! I can see myself with a dragon type. Most preferably, a Garchomp. Those pokemon are monsters. They are totally cool, Roan." [break][break]

Arashi noted that it was getting towards that time where he needed to head home. Or, more accurately, to the motel which he had to beg his brother to pay for. However, he didn't want to go home just yet. More importantly, he didn't want to leave Roan. He was getting to know her, and he desperately wanted to spend time with her. Was it wrong that he hoped for time to stand still just so that he could be around her a little more? [break][break]

Maybe there was something he could do or some way that he could remain with her. [break][break]

"Hey Roan, you wanna go get something to eat together?" He suddenly spoke. He didn't know what he was thinking when he suddenly asked her out, and a piece of him was beating himself up because of it. How could he just straight up ask her on a date? What if she thought he was weird because of it?! [break][break]

Arashi had to react quickly. He said, "I kinda wanna apologize to you... You know, for causing a mess in the beginning. How about we go somewhere? My treat?" Arashi had used this tactic on someone else before. First, he screwed up, then he offered a date together as an apology. Even though Natalie was already willing to eat with him, this plan still had a 100% victory rate. Until the tactic lost, he would use it over and over as an easy way to get what he wanted. [break][break]

Which... For Roan, what he wanted was just a little more time with her.

Oh great, Arashi didn't have to pay for the entire meal. That was actually wonderful! But it was also very strange. From the stories that his brothers told him, it was always his duty to pay for the woman. So far, Arashi had asked two girls out, and both of them agreed to pay for their own meal. Maybe the guy spending his money on everything was out of style now? Arashi didn't mind it at all. The less money he had to spend, the better. [break][break]

When Roan mentioned Zekrom, Arashi's eyes lit up with interest. There was only one place where that pokemon was well known in, and it definitely wasn't Johto. "You're from Unova?" he said with a bit of excitement in his voice. "That's so cool! You're gonna have to tell me about that region while we're eating." [break][break]

Speaking of eating. [break][break]

"What do you feel like grabbing?" he asked. "I feel like eating some Kantonese. Though, there's probably a few Unovian spots somewhere if you feel like eating something from home." Though, Arashi wondered what Unovian food tasted like. He'd seen it once. The most popular food served from Unova was the hot dog. That seemed to be their national meal. Though, that was probably just a stereotype Johto picked up. Arashi still couldn't deny that the hot dog the Unovian restaurants served looked incredibly delicious. [break][break]


"But I can eat whatever, Roan. Do you want to choose?"

Kantonese she said, and Kantonese it was. "I know the perfect place." Arashi chimed. "Just follow me!" [break][break]

He led the way to a small restaurant, or probably something one could consider a restaurant. There was no door, people ate out in the open, and they ate at counters while so close to the employees (like a traditional Japanese ramen shop). Of course, the food that they sold here was Kanto style ramen, with a mix of beef that could only be found in Johto. Even still, it was a delicacy to have one of these shops in the Johto region, as they were the only ones that made ramen the right way. [break][break]

He picked a seat and ordered his food. He waited until Roan had ordered her own meal before he spoke to her, "I hope you don't mind eating outdoors. I was just thinking that it would be nice if we ate under the stars." Casually, Arashi pointed up. Even though they were stuck in a city, they could still see a nice selection of stars in the sky. It was a beautiful sight to behold while a person ate. "Also, this place is super cheap! You can get so much for so little that it's pretty amazing." [break][break]

Unfortunately, now that Arashi was here with Roan, he was a little stumped... What do they talk about? He'd spent the whole day with her and almost practically run out of conversational topics with her. Maybe he could ask some personal questions from her and get to know her a little better? But what questions were good questions? He didn't want to ask her something that was too personal. He didn't want to seem like he was imposing on her life. He'd start off with a soft question first, and throw the hard-hitting questions at her the more he got to know her. [break][break]

"So Roan..." Arashi started. "You, uh... You got a boyfriend?" [break][break]

That was too personal! Too personal! What the hell? What guy would ask a girl that while hanging out and not seem like he was imposing? That was it! Now she'd think he was getting too close to her. Now she'll be weirded out! [break][break]

Arashi prepared for her to yell at him about the incredibly personal question he just asked, grimacing in anticipation.
