1. [Video]

[nolongeruseless]

[The video feed starts with a shot of a few (4 to be precise) clearly homemade jars of honey laid neatly on a cloth on some grass. A sleeping Cutiefly and Togepi can be seen at the edge of the frame.

Once he's sure he's shown the main point of the video clearly, the feed cuts back to an awkward looking Izuku.] So... Does anyone near Cherrygrove want some honey? It tastes good, but it's... More than I know what to do with.

[Good, good, crisis averted, he's smiling and calm now.] Sure, I'll meet you there.

[rediscover]

Great! Well...I'll see you when I see you!

[Guess who's awkward as hell, it's this girl.

A little while later, Anna can be found waiting outside the Cherrygrove Pokémon Center with her Shroomish in her arms. He seems to have grown used to being there, considering the way he's snuggling right into the crook of her arm.]

[It's ok Anna, he only learned how to talk to girls in high school. He was left literally shaking and crying after his first phone call with one.

But it doesn't take him long to find Anna waiting for him outside the Pokemon center. He comes to meet her equally decked out with own Pokemon, a Hoothoot on his shoulder, Cutiefly resting on the fluff of his hair and a Togepi on his arm, helping keep the jar of honey from falling.] Ah, Anna, right? Hello!

[rediscover]

[OH GREAT THEY'LL GET ALONG JUST FINE

Anna's keeping an eye peeled for the boy from the video, and when she sees him, covered in Pokémon, she bounces on her heels and waves.]

Hi! That's me! I'm...just now realizing I never got your name! Whoops.

[nolongeruseless]

[YES THEY WILL

His eyes widen in surprise when Anna tells him he never gave her his name. it doesn't take long for him to blush slightly and try to awkwardly give a small bow in apology.] Ah, I'm sorry! Ah, I can't believe I forgot! It's Izuku, Midoriya Izuku!

[rediscover]

[Anna panicks, seeing him bow, and drops a quick one-handed curtsey in response. Manners!! She giggles.]

That's okay! I forgot to ask. It's very nice to meet you, Izuku!

[nolongeruseless]

[He nods.] Yeah, same to you. [He shuffles his feet awkwardly for a short moment until his rather annoyed looking Togepi gets his attention with the jar.] Ah, right! [He takes it from the egg Pokemon that lets out a sigh that wouldn't be out of place if someone had said 'this bitch...' during it.] Here's your honey.

[rediscover]

[Anna giggles at the Togepi's antics, and reaches out to take the jar.]

Oh! Thank you! [How did she nearly forget the whole point of this.

She reaches out to give the Togepi a cautious little pat on the head.]

Aren't you adorable?

[nolongeruseless]

[Despite his annoyance before, Deku the Togepi does let out a happy little thrill at the pat.] Haha, it is kind of cute, isn't it?

[rediscover]

[Precious. Anna wouldn't mind having one of her own, honestly.]

Kind of? You're crazy! [She shakes her head, and glances down at the jar of honey.] This is so nice of you! I can't wait to try some, I bet it's delicious!

[nolongeruseless]

[Ok yes, it is very cute, yes.] The bit I tasted was pretty good, at least. It should be good for breakfast or tea.

[rediscover]

I bet it'd be good for baking! Ooh, or you could put it on fresh bread, too!

[Anna cocks her head.] This all came from one Pokémon?

[nolongeruseless]

[Another awkward smile while Honey Bee the Cutiefly looks rather proud of himself.
Night Owl the Hoothoot, meanwhile, seems to have fallen asleep.] Yeah. It really adds up while he gathers it.

[rediscover]

[Anna giggles, and waggles her fingers at the Cutiefly in salute.]

He's done an amazing job! Well done, you!

[nolongeruseless]

[Honey Bee lets out a happy little noise at the praise.] Yeah... I guess I'll have to do this in the future too, if it likes gathering it so much.

[rediscover]

Definitely! Heck, maybe you could...sell it at the market, or something!

[Anna stashes the jar away in her backpack, Shroomish still nestled in her arm.]

Well...my sister will be wondering where I am! Thanks so much for the honey. Maybe we'll see you in the next town?

[nolongeruseless]

Hmm... Someone else said that. I guess I can think about it.

[He's definitely looking pensive until Anna startles him as she says her goodbye.] Oh, s-sure! Safe travels!

[Talking to girls can still be a new adventure, after all.]

[rediscover]

You definitely should!

[Anna grins, and gives him a wave as she backs away and starts to head back the way she came from.]

You, too!
