meet chikorita! || young-itachi
He was walking right into her trap!
Delighted, Ino watched the scene unfold in anticipation. This was among one of her most commonly used tricks on children (and at times, adults); Chikorita knew the routine.
Inside the pot, her Pokemon sat patiently as it awaited for the boy’s arrival. Interestingly enough, a mischievous smile was etched on its face as well. If they weren’t human and Pokemon, one would have thought Ino and her Chikorita were related.Â
Its leaf, calming, ceased its movements. It only moved tranquilly with the passing breeze.
The boy swallowed as he continued to scrutinize the plant, suspicious. The sweet perfume of the flower-- whose name escaped him-- still lingered, almost heavy enough to become distracting, but even though the big leaf had been still for some time now, Itachi was certain he had seen it move.
... Although, he did suppose it could have been the wind.
He relaxed somewhat as his suspicion began to give way to simple fascination. The leaf was a deep shade of green and had a unique shape. He felt the urge to touch it, wondering what it would feel like, and after only a moment more, he took one last step toward the potted plant and extended his small hand to find out just that.
