Me: Wellllll, I could just give you a simple, short explanation... BUT FORGET ABOUT THAT! (chatters on for an hour)

Hey, you know me, I like writing long and boring explanations. XD

One of the reasons I'm so opposed to the whole 'hey, nice outfit' thing is because it's meant to be a shippy moment (or something). There's nothing shippy about Gladion complementing her outfit in my opinion. I know he's not trying to make the situation look shippy, but if he just said 'hey, nice outfit', it kinda kills the whole idea. Pika would be a little flattered and say thanks. The end. But what I'm going for is a simple complement making Pika go crazy. No one (that I know of) goes completely crazy blushing because their outfit looks nice to their crush. And if Pika didn't go crazy blushing and freaking out, there'd be no awkward situation. There'd be no 'I'm sorry' and 'you didn't do anything wrong'. All that would be used is "Pika and Lexi are chatting and Gladion walks up, stares at Pika, and gives her a complement", and the complement wouldn't even be the same. Pretty much renders mh idea pointless.

Sorry for subjectin' ya to that, I just wanted to explain.

Ah, I see. Also, if you use my idea, please don't make Gladion complement her outfit.

Why are people complementing Pika's outfit anyway...? XD

Okay okay i wasn’t i WAS dumb just i FELT fumb you’re FFs are amazibg so lets make a deal i won’t say anything beinv dumb if you don’t say your fanfics are bad

To complement Pika, you won't want beautiful, you won't want cool (although Arceus only knows why you'd call her that anyway), you'll want cute or adorable. I also just said "If Gladion likes her outfit so much, why doesn't he PUT IT ON?" XD

Pika's meant to be cute. It's how I designed her. And "hey, nice outfit" isn't something I'd imagine Gladion saying. Since when did like tuxedos and black pants so much (XD)? She's an anime-style character, so she has big blue anime eyes. "Cute" is basically the only way to describe her appearance.

No. She's an adorable girl (at least, in my opinion) and she's already been complemented on her outfit. Why would anyone go that crazy because their crush said "oh, hey, nice outfit"?

Oof, that's rough. Here's one of my ideas (warning: you may cringe):

Idea 1: Lexi and Pika are having a chat when Gladion walks up and greets them. They say hello back and continue to chat. However, Gladion doesn't join in and instead just stares at Pika. Pika eventually notices that Gladion's staring at her and blushes a bit while nervously asking why he's staring at her. He hesitates to answer for a moment, then answers, saying that he thinks she's cute. This causes great shock for Pika, and she blushes intensely. Of course, Lexi is amused by it because it is pretty hilarious to see Pika stutter like a dummy while blushing, all because of a simple complement. This makes the whole situation very awkward. Gladion tries to apologize for freaking Pika out, but she frantically tells him that he hasn't done anything wrong. Lexi gently tells them to both calm down, and they try to do just that, although Pika is still blushing like crazy. Then when they've calmed down, Gladion decides to leave and says good-bye while Pika stares after him, most likely going 'whee' internally due to the guy she has a crush on telling her she's cute.

Yay for shippy moments! Poor Gladion, just trying to give Pika a complement and she freaks out. I got another one, but please tell me what ya think about this one.
