If there was one thing Looker was it was that he was perceptive. He wouldn't be good at his job if he weren't. It was because of how perceptive he was that his partner, Anabel, could not hide anything from him.

When they first arrived in Alola for their assignment they surprisingly ran into a certain raven-haired trainer and his Pikachu. Looker honestly didn't expect to run into Ash again and he definitely didn't expect that Ash and Anabel had a past history of sorts.

As he watched the two teens interact with each other, Looker learned a few things. First and foremost was that the two had battled each other when Anabel was still a Frontier Brain and Ash took on the Battle Frontier.

Looker also learned that Anabel was clearly head over heels for the boy.

The lavender-haired girl didn't have to say anything to confirm it. Looker could see it in her eyes when she looked at Ash or how she blushed slightly whenever Ash complimented her or smiled at her, something she didn't do with anyone else.

When it came time for them to separate for the day, Looker could see the slight disappointment in Anabel's eyes, but they brighten right back up when Ash suggested that they should meet again tomorrow. As they headed back to their hotel, with Ash heading back to Professor Kukui's, Looker decided to speak up.

"You know, you should tell him."

Anabel looked up at her partner with a raised eyebrow. "Tell him?"

"Ash. You should tell him how you feel about him," explained Looker. He watched as Anabel blushed a bright red to the point that she looked like a Cherri Berry.

"Eh?! Wh-What?! I d-don't know what y-your talking about!" exclaimed Anabel as she turned away and tapped her index finger together in a shy manner.

"You can't hide anything from me, Anabel. It was obvious that you are smitten with that boy."

"Eep!" squeaked out Anabel as her eyes widened in shock at being found out.

"Maybe tomorrow you can confess to him. I think you two would be good for each other," added the Interpol officer as he walked on ahead.

"L-L-L-Looker! D-Don't say things like that out loud!" exclaimed Anabel as she followed after the older man.

Looker could only chuckle. He really did believe the two would be good for each other. Ash would help Anabel open up a bit more and Anabel would help Ash calm down and not jump into situations without thinking.

Regardless, Looker would support the both of them no matter how long it would take.

FIN

-:-

Abilityshipping; the only Anabel shipping in any form of media where Anabel shows an actual romantic interest in someone. Unlike a certain shipping where she's paired with someone just because they're her co-worker and nothing more.

Anyway, it's been a long time since I've written an Abilityshipping one-shot. This one isn't part of my "Alola Ability series" and is more to try and get back into the groove. I'm going to try and get the rest of the "Alola Ability series" done soon, so stay tuned.
