(First of all, welcome to SonAmy week! This is my first year doing this, so a little introduction is in order. SonAmy week is a themed event held most on tumblr and twitter, but I'm also bringing it to this site. Each day is a different theme, and there will be fanart and fanfic posted for everyone's enjoyment of our favorite couple! Here is my submission for the first theme, "Pokemon"! I don't know much about Pokemon, so I did my best with my own ideas. Thanks to my friends on discord for their inspiration and knowledge as well. These pieces will be short and very "slice-of-life"-esque, but please enjoy!)

Pokemon

"Sonic, I've never seen you so engrossed in your phone before."

The blue hedgehog didn't even answer his girlfriend as he was intensely focused on his device. His gloved thumbs flew across the screen with impressive speed, but he didn't appear to be texting.

"Sonic?" Amy walked up to him, stomping her boots loudly, and tapped on the top of his phone. He still didn't move, his green eyes wide and intense. She peeked over the top and batted her eyelashes at him.

"Hi."

Sonic jumped, throwing his phone in the air but quickly catching it. "A-amy, hi, sorry - how long have you been there?"

"Whatcha looking at?" She tried to snatch the phone away from him and swiveled her head to get a better look.

"Oh, this? Heh, it's nothing - " sweatdrops began forming on his brow, and he pulled the device away from her.

He was quick, but Amy was persistent. She wrestled the phone away from him with her strong arms… only to look at him with a confused face.

"Pokemon Go?" she said, one eyebrow cocked. "I had no idea you played."

"Don't judge me," Sonic shot back, swiping his phone from her nosy fingers. He crossed his arms in defiance.

"I'm not! Just surprised is all. You normally don't get caught up in video games, considering your life practically is one."

He smirked at her. "Heh, well, what I like about this one is it can be played outside, all over the world. And because I'm the fastest thing alive, I know the spots where all the rare Pokemon are. No one's got me beat."

Amy listened to her boyfriend go on and on about something he loved, enjoying him being so passionate. He normally wasn't one to gush on and on like a fanboy so it was nice to see him so happy, even if she didn't know or care much about it. Her eyes began glazing over as she stopped listening to his words and instead just watched the sparkle in his eyes, and the tone of his voice as he talked rapidly, and his eager body-language.

"Ah, I've been talkin' too much. You wanna go with me?"

Sonic's intense focus back on her brought Amy back. "Go where? To catch pokemon?"

"Yeah!"

Amy just stared at him for a moment before giggling.

"What?"

"Nothing, it's just nice that for once I'm not the overexcited dork about something, you are."

"Hey! I'm not a dork."

"I mean, you kinda are, but I like it!"

"Hmph. Guess that means your dorky boyfriend is going without you. Bye!"

Just like that, Sonic took off, leaving Amy behind. She just stared at the spot where he'd only been a second ago before hollering his name.

"Sonic the Hedgehog! You get back here now!"

Nothing. She waited, tapping her foot and staring at the door expectantly. He played this game with her a lot, running off and coming back. It was his preferred method of flirting and teasing Amy, but it got on her nerves more often than not. He liked seeing her mad way too much. Amy grumbled a few choice words under her breath as she pulled out her phone. She tapped the store and began downloading Pokemon Go, never thinking she'd be in this situation. But if Sonic loved it this much, she'd give it a try.

"I'm still waiting, Sonic," she said to the empty room, knowing that Sonic could hear her no matter how far he was. It was his ability in their relationship; she always knew where he was, and he could always hear her voice.

Once the app was done downloading, she opened it up and scrolled through game's the introduction, wondering what exactly about this fascinated her boyfriend so much. Seemed like it'd be too slow-paced for his taste.

Sonic returned a moment later, and it was Amy's turn to be engrossed in her phone. If she would have looked up, she'd have been greeted by Sonic's pout.

"Back so soon?" she teased him, not looking up.

"No, Amy, this is the worst. The app just updated and it's the dumbest thing, Amy. It's not working anymore, and I can't do anything! It keeps saying I'm going 'too fast', as if, stupid thing. Pshh, I can't go too fast. More like it's too slow."

"What do you mean?" Amy glanced up, and Sonic showed her the warning image: a speed meter that did indeed say he was moving too fast for the game to work.

"Now when I'm running around I can't see any Pokemon because it says I'm going too fast! What's wrong with this thing, can't believe I can't play my game anymore..."

His angry pout was enough to make Amy giggle again.

"It's not funny. Man, I was really enjoying this game too, now they gotta ruin it with not letting me use my speed," he continued to grumble. "Took away my one advantage…"

"Aw, I'm sorry babe," she set her phone down and went around to hug him, gently rubbing his back to soothe his annoyance. She kissed his pouting lips, trying to form them into a smile, but they remained stubbornly frowned. She wondered what she could possibly do to cheer him up, but as she looked at their two phones sitting next to each other, an idea struck her. She gently spoke into his ear.

"Hey, Sonic, why don't we play together? I can help you slow down, and you can take me to places where the best rare Pokemon are. Maybe we can even trade phones every so often, and help each other out?"

Sonic pulled back from her embrace to look her in the eye, the glimmer back in his green eyes. "Amy! That's - " he didn't even finish his sentence before planting a huge kiss on her lips. His arms wrapped around her tightly, suddenly giddy that he had such a brilliant and helpful girlfriend. He could have his game and his girl, at the same time. Suddenly this update was the best thing ever, if he could spend more time with Amy doing something he loved.

Before Amy even knew she was being kissed, her boyfriend pulled her into his arms and took off past the speed of sound. She let out a small welp from the sudden rush in both her heart and her body.

"Sonic, did you even remember the phones?"

"Ah - " The blue hedgehog returned back, grabbed the phones, and then ran back on a new adventure, searching for cute creatures to capture with his girlfriend. She had him slow down when needed, and he knew all the best remote spots. They traveled the world together, becoming the two best Pokemon trainers on the planet.

I hope you enjoyed the Pokemon theme! Again thanks to my discord friends for their help~

Tune in tomorrow for "Spy"!
