Catching up with Chris - From Sequel To Trilogy!

[Chris 2.1]

Some may cheer (YAY!), some may boo and hiss (GERROFF THIS BOARD!), but I have written a short collection of chapters featuring Chris after the Indigo Road. This continues from the Indigo Road, which continued from From Rookie To Champion, so I strongly suggest reading those to properly understand/like the content of this topic.

So far I have begun writing Ch3, so don't expect frequent updates.





so, welcome to.....PONTARICO! Our adventure begins...

Chapter One
Farewell to the painter (among other things)
By Brit Chris

"Next we add a pinch of salt..." The cook said. "Stir that round in the pan and make sure to whisk thoroughly; the actings all in the wrists, as if you were abusing a child"

Wobbuffet happily cried his name as he hectically spun the whisk round, sending splatters of pancake batter across the kitchen. There was a window-like opening where my friendly, patient Pokemon could peer through, over my head on the leather couch and eisily see the lady on TV giving the next step. Outside, in the reserve, all my Pokemon played around. Pidgeot swooped towards the large Oak Tree in the reserve and clasped his talons around a thick branch my Noctowl was already sleeping on.

"Geot!" Cried the majestic bird, prodding Noctowl with his wing. Noctowl almost pissed himself as he bolted upright in shock.

"VROO! VROO VROO!" Came its shrill voice. He glanced to his left and saw Pidgeot happily giving the 'wing's up". Angered, Noctowl flew off. Noctowl was steadily becoming more and more nocturnal, which was I never took him to Kanto with me two years ago. When I was there, I'd captured a Pidgey (which I nearly KILLED after using an uuber-Smeargle to battle it), and he'd evolved into this healthy alternative to my moochy owl.

I got up, sighing and filling my lungs with air again. While I was at home, Mum had gone shopping with Grandma, who lived with us now after Grandfather Norman passed away, Dad was currently in Celadon; he was on business with a research team. Tim and Suzie were in town, and Brett, my eldest brother (21 years of age) was working as the Gym Leader in Olivine. He said he was coming to stay soon, but, being a member of our family, was VERY sketchy with the details.

Yesterday, I got a letter from 'Adrian Helmsworth', the son of the Professor Helmsworth who lived on the Island. The Professor, after watching an episode of 'Heartbeat', the local sloppy, badly filmed drama about a police force in Wilkshire, had a heart attack and hadn't quite pulled through. Adrian was in charge of the funeral, and had added onto the list the 20 trainers who had started their journies in 2001. Apparently, 2001 was the last year he sent trainers off, so we were, in a sense, his 'last bunch'. Sighing, I remembered my Magby Egg that got stolen by an agent called Jet. I also remember it evolving, as well as working against me so many times. But I had been given Kecleon from another Professor. Thank god we have two Professor's for every trainer nowadays...

This meant I'd get to meet Krystal again, who was training on a secluded Island far away. The last time I was with her was shortly before she left, when I told her about my secret crush on her. However, she shot me down in flames and simply went off with Lance, the promotional figure for Dragon Pokemon. I hadn't made contact with her since, seeing as I never got her number through the year or so we spent together.

Then there was Tony. I knew him well at first, but grew apart from him ever so slightly. He went to work as an Apprentice at Cerulean Gym, and since then, when me and Krystal went to Kanto, we only saw him for a short time. He had caught a Mudkip for his little sister. Awww, bless...

Ok, so after that trip down memory lane I decided to get ready for the reunion of all the Pontarico Trainers. I met most of them whilst competing in the Miami League; there was Jane, a goth girl whose savage Crobat sent my Electabuzz to intensive care, there was Whitney, a tropically-dressed girl with a Starmie. I whupped her in the qualifying round! Erm...Lewis, this chubby, gullable kid who totally fancied Ash Ketchum, there was Dennis, this loser who sorta fancied Krystal. Oh! Erm...what was his name...ROY! He had a Treecko who beat Kecleon up once, but he told me once Treecko evolved into Grovyle, he started becoming more disobedient and ended up losing Roy's match. Roy also had this fat Cacnea...and I'm sure I heard off Suzie he was now training a grass-type team up. Heh, Pidgeot could completely overpower that guy...

Pokeball Belts now held 8 Pokemon, and I could choose out of my many Pokemon; Kecleon, Noctowl, Electabuzz, Umbreon, Dustox, Ivysaur, Wobbuffet, Pidgeot, Seviper, Smeargle, Weezing and Scyther. Ok, so that meant 4 were left out - I could live with that. I took Kecleon, Electabuzz, Seviper, Pidgeot, Umbreon, Dustox, Scyther and Wobbuffet. I registered Wobbuffet in a Pokeball about 2 months back, since he was never actually mine to begin with, but either way, he put his pancake batter in the fridge as I recalled him into his Pokeball.

Before I left, however, I went out into the reserve. I found Smeargle sitting in a deckchair, chatting to Suzie's Sunflora and Wigglytuff. Smeargle once belonged to the Professor Helmsworth's Grandson, Johnathon, but he had gone to University, so I looked after him for Johnathon. Now, Johnathon had returned to Pontarico, and was eager to see his best friend again. He was picking him up later today, when somebody was actually home.

"So...I guess this is it" I said, a tear in my eye. I really would miss his hatred for my Wobbuffet.

"Smear" He grumbled, swatting me away with his paw. He then began talking rather quickly to Sunflora. The flirting wench.

"I'll probably NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN" I boomed.

"Gle"

The beagle sure was cocky.

"Forget it" I grumbled, getting up from my kneeling on one Knee. I walked through the house, locking the doors and whatnot, we didn't want any burglars stealing our Pokemon! I took a spare door key from the hook in the lounge and wandered out the door.

*

The walk took about 20minutes; I was GOING to ride my ultimately cool Scooter there, but that broke about a month ago. Electabuzz learned Dynamicpunch, and kinda smashed it. Darn. If I still had it, I woulda named this fic "Electric Scooter to Victory!" Although I'm sure I'd have an angry australian after me if I did!

As I neared the magnificent laboratory, I saw a large blob charge at me. I was confused. I was then bumped into by a fat kid, with large blotchy patches of sweat underneath his flabby armpits. He had wavy blonde hair and sparkling green eyes.

"Chris!" He cried. "I remember you! Chris! Chris!"

"Yea, I see you Lewis" I grunted. He looked 13...maybe 14. I was 15 at the moment. It was SUCH a cool age, although the damned cinema ALWAYS asked for my date of birth! I LOOK 15, DAMNIT!

"How have you been?" He inquired, his tongue lolling out the side of his mouth.

"Why don't we just -

I was going to say 'talk later' but Lewis misinterpreted my words.

"Battle? GREAT IDEA!"

He ran a few feet back, drawing a Pokeball from his belt.

"I choose you, Slaking!"

From the ball emerged a 6-foot tall ape-like creature. It had plump, round, chubby fingers and toes and a large gut. Yuck. I had never seen this Pokemon in real life; they thrived in a place called Hoenn. A league had opeend up there about three years ago, and apparently it was SO tacky and full of tourists.

"You been to Hoenn?" I asked casually.

"Yea! I went there, and then I got lost in this forest for three weeks! and I had to eat leaves and Wurmple poop, and then I met this guy who said he was a professor. He had a van full of cages and nets, and he also had a rifle! He told me all the best trainers go to Hoenn and leave all their other Pokemon behind, so I gave him ALL my old Pokemon except Snorlax! And he said he'd call me when they're ready to be picked up, but he didn't give me a telephone number! Isn't that weird, Chris?"

God, this guy couldn't half talk. He sounded as if he'd been mugged by a poacher...I decided my own Pidgeot would probably be pretty good against Slaking. I grabbed the ball, maximised it and prepared to throw it forward.

"Pidgeot!" I cried. From my ball, the massive bird emerged, flapping into the air and facing Slaking. This match LOOKED juicy!

"Pidgeot, go for a quick attack!" I ordered. "Then follow up with fury attack"

Pidgeot shot through the air, a silvery streak shooting behind him. He smashed into Slaking, who scratched his arse lazily. Pidgeot then tore forward and began jousting at the filthy ape with his beak numerous times. Slaking, however, drove his fist forward and smashed it into Pidgeot's face. Pidgeot squaked and swooped up into the sky, looking rather displeased.

"Ok, Slaking! That's a good job!" Lewis cried, trying to recall the Pokemon. However, Slaking turned and roared very loudly. I could even see Lewis slowly get driven backwards by the force of Slaking's voice. "Try a mega punch!"

Roaring, Slaking held his massive paw back as it began to glow. He then thrust it forward at Pidgeot, who swooped back with his powerful wings. Slaking then pushed off from the ground and smashed Pidgeot in the skull with his attack. Pidgeot dropped down, but picked back up and soared into the sky.

"Steel wing!" I cried. Wings glowing, Pidgeot tore through the sky and collided with Slaking. Slaking roared as he fell down, like King Kong when he was killed. There was a large cloud of dust that rose from the tremour Slsking created. He slowly began to rise and roared out loud. Pidgeot surveyed the scene from the sky.

"Slaking! Flamethrower!" Lewis shouted. He was sweating uncontrollably, and his face was now a blotchy red, making him look like a tomato in a wig. Slaking blasted a firey jet of blazing streaks through the air, but Pidgeot eisily evaded them. However, while Slaking blasted these, it made it difficult for us to attack.

"Pidgeot...we can't get past the flames, so use a whirlwind" I said responsibly. Aha! suck on that, Lewis! Pidgeot flapped a collossal blast of wind, which, as Slaking blasted a flamethrower, was sent back by the wind and torched Slaking's arse. He hobbled around, roaring and groaning. It was a damned funny sight! While he was weak, we cut in with the last attack:

"Skull bash!"

Pidgeot tore down and smashed into Slaking, before pulling back up and darting over to me. Slaking simply collapsed from the attack, leaving Lewis to shoot the Pokeball beam at him and return him.

"Good job" He replied quickly. "Fancy another round? Ok? Good! GO POOCHYENA!"

His next ball released a cute little wolf pup. I'd seen these before; a guy in Viridian Forest called...erm...Mack, yea, he had one. It was pretty easy; I knocked its tooth out. Anyway, I recalled Pidgeot and wondered what I could send out. Maybe test out Scyther? Yea...

"Go Scyther!" I cried.

Scyther emerged, slashing the air and spinning round. What a show-off!

"Poochyena, go for a quick attack!" Lewis ordered.

"Grrr....arf! arf!" Cried the Pokemon, darting forward at Scyther. Scyther held a blade up and sliced it down like an axe at an execution. Poochyena leapt back in retalliation as the blade drove into the ground. Scyther yanked it out and began attacking again, this time by flapping its wings and carrying itself forward.

"SCY!" Came the mantis' roar. Truth be told, this guy was kinda scary and I hadn't trained him as much as everybody else. I knew he had slash, swords dance, skull bash...I'd have to get him checked out sometime. Oh! FURY CUTTER!

"Go! Fury Cutter, Scyther!" I cried in sucession. Scythes glowing a leafy green, Scyther swept forward and delivered a series of ninja-style slashes. Poochyena, however, saw this as a kind of game, leaping and snapping his jaws angrily, while wearing a weak smile on his face. However, Scyther flapped back and kicked the puppy down, before slashing it again with its scythe.

"Poochy!" Lewis cried. "Return"

He shot the ball and took the Pokemon back. I stood with Scyther by my side. Pride wasn't the word.

"Great job..." He said. "I guess I have a lot to learn..."

"Yea, well it does sound as if you gave your Pokemon to a poacher" I sighed, rolling my eyes. Lewis didn't hear me.

"I came outside to wait for Krystal" Lewis said, blushing. "I was thinking now is the time to...you know...pop the question..."

"Ask her out?" I blurted. "WHAT? Lewis, I asked her out and she turned ME down!"

"Well, I can see why she turned you down" Lewis said, eyeballing me. The nerve! THE LITTLE S.O.B! I'll butcher him good.... "But I think me and her just...click, you know? Maybe you're too SPOTTY for a girlfriend..."

"Hey!" I cried, feeling my forehead for that large spot I saw this morning. The damned thing wouldn't pop, so I tried using Suzie's concealer to hide it. I guess it hadn't worked...

"...But I myself think I'm ready for a WOMAN" Lewis remarked, with a perverted blaze in his pupils. I stepped back.

"That's great" I muttered. "I'm going to the laboratory"

I left that stupid creep alone, wandering to the lab to meet some old friends. I would have gladly waited for Krystal, but I want to look casual and laid-back, even though I'm SO nervous!

*

Ok, so I wandered to the laboratory, with a big banner saying "WEELCUM (awful spelling...I hear Adrain is dyslexic... TRAINES OV 2001". I went inside, and saw loads of people, if I was right, about 17, drinking champagne (WTF?) and chatting to each other. I remember Whitney; she was wearing a nice hawaiian skirt, a straw hat and pretty straw-ish sandals. She had a white t-shirt on with 'Whatever' in black, bold text.

"Hey Whitney" I said happily.

"AAAIIIIIII!" She screamed. "HE HAS A SCYTHER! AAAIIIIIII!"

So I quickly recalled Scyther and tried smiling through my embaressment.

"Nice lip ring, though" She added, gracing it with her finger.

"Thanks" I replied back. "So how are the Pokemon?"

"Ok thanks" She said back. "I got this AMAZING Pokemon! By the way, I just train Water AND Grass types, so its like a Bi-type team! Anyway, this Pokemon's a Ludicolo, it's just KOOL!"

She pulled out a ball. It was a turqoiuse colour. She arched her arm, brought it swinging forward and threw the ball up into the air. It burst open by the hinge, revealling what was simply a Pineapple in a sombrero.

"Ludo! Lu-lu-lu!" It cried, in a tootling voice. It started hopping from one leg to the other frantically, clapping 'happy birthday to you' and murmuring its name. However, as it turned, it saw a buffet table laden with plates and food.

"No, Ludicolo!" Whitney began. Turning to me, she said, "He's been watching Jackasss and think's it's GREAT, but he causes SO much trouble! LUDICOLO NO!!!"

Whitney made a dive for the Pokemon, but it raced at the table and surfed down a metal tray past the food, knocking it and smashing plates, scattering food and sending Pokemon scampering to the scene to try and get a meal. Ludicolo then smashed into a wall at the end of the table and collapsed.

"LUDICOLO!" Came the roar of Whitney, as she stomped over there. "RETURN!"

Everybody was chatting about what happened, including Roy. He was the guy with Treecko; he had brown spiked hair and a cap without a...cap part, it was more of a cap bill that clipped around the back of his head. Today he was wearing cream cargo trousers, chunky shoes and a blue tye-dye t-shirt. He had a Cacnea by his side, which was guzzling down on a jacket potato.

"Chris, is that you?" Roy asked, squinting at me (although he was, now and then, stuffing his face with cocktail sossages).

"Yea, nice to meet you" I said happily. "Still got Cacnea? It's been about three years"

"NEA!" The Pokemon yelped, leaping at me. It clamped around my arm and injected its needles in, giving me a numbing, aching sting. It leapt off and investigated a pile of cheese and pineapple chunks on sticks, guzzling and spitting the cocktail sticks out.

"I don't think he wants to evolve..." Roy told me dully. "But I participated in the Indigo League about four months ago"

"How did that go?" I asked.

"Well I came in the top 8..." He said shamefully. "Thing is, they've never even SEEN Cacnea before, or Grovyle, not in Kanto. Grovyle was in my last match, and FAKED fainting so I lost. I was against a friggin' Poliwhirl"

"Shame" I murmured. "Well I was in Kanto about 2 years ago, I got a few badges and trained a bit...I didn't feel like anything big or important. Since then I've just been at the Battle Park, training and stuff. Although last year we went to Barcelona, my Mum caught a Sharpedo on the beach..."

"Can you use it?" Roy asked keenly.

"If I want...but it's kinda vicious" I replied back. That actually did give me the incentive to try battling with it...when I returned home, I'd let Wobbuffet cook again, he wanted to make some pancakes anyway, so I could take Sharpedo and wipe the floor...hehe...mwa-ha-ha-haHA!

"What was that for?" Roy questioned.

"What?"

"That evil, demonic laugh" Roy replied.

Crap. I didn't THINK laughing, I did an evil laugh. God help me. Then, I had a wicked idea. I grabbed a great ball from my belt and opened it. The light hit the ground and formed into my faithful, social Seviper.

"Tell anyone, and taste poison" I purred. "I have a social life, damnit!"

"We don't take threats too well" Roy growled. "CACNEA! Pin missile!"

Leaping into the air, and spikes brimming white, Cacnea blasted a series of explosive pins at Seviper. Seviper lunged out the way as the buffet table blew up. People screamed and ran towards the corner of the room as Cacnea charged at Seviper. Seviper then spat an acid forward, which unfortunately dissolved what looked like a reception desk. Seviper then swung a poison tail down at Cacnea, who leapt to avoid it.

"STOP!" A voice boomed. A shrivelled man emerged from the back room. He had broken glasses, ruffled, messy, greasy brown hair and a mole on his gaping forehead. "I'm Adrian Helmsworth...come to order! AHEM!"

He had a very trampled voice.

"Ahem, excuse me? PEOPLE! PEOPLE! SETTLE DOWN!"

"We have" Kate pointed out, in her camoflague attire. She was going for the siberian look, with whites, fawns and light colours. A Nuzleaf was at her side. "It's those two, they're both at each other's throats"

"I choose you Hypno!" Adrian called. A muscly Hypno emerged, holding its pendulum and staring at us both down its long, pointed nose. However, as Cacnea released a shriek, Hypno cowered behind Adrian, scared witless.

"SEVIPER! Flamethrower!" I shouted.

"Cacnea, go for a Solarbeam!" Roy commanded.

"STOP!" A voice boomed, as the double doors burst open. There was a figure in the doorway, her two bunches of hair fluttering either side of her face. She wore a billowing cape, and had SOMETHING by her side, it was a round thing with legs. I could just see her shadow.

"Shellgon, go! Endure" Came the sweet voice, with so much determination in it. The white, encased creature bound forward through the crowd, who watched in fascination. Shellgon ran inbetwen Seviper and Cacnea, and, glowing white, absorbed the Solarbeam and the Flamethrower in its hard shell. As I turned, I saw the figure walk into the room. As I did, I saw a trembling Lewis behind her, and Kimi wandering in, too.

"Chris..." Krystal said, shaking her head. She had a hand on her hip. "You always were too rash"








In Ch2...

-A BIG battle,
-Small Pokemon
-A laugh? I doubt it
-Calvin



Thanks, y'all

[Zee Sage]

ITS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111 Finally Its here, great first chapter, I fear Chris is turning into a new Calvin and EVIL! Cant wait char chapter 2 !

[Dragonfree]

WHEEEEE!!! FSTT!!!!!

I've been wondering what kept you. The change from the dark TIR to the seemingly very humourous FSTT is weird. I especially liked "I would have named this fic Electric Scooter To Victory, but then I'd have had a certain Australian after me". Nice! Also the evil laughter, that was great too. I can just imagine standing in front of Chris while he's thinking something and he suddenly goes "Mwahahahaha!"... it would sound crazy.

Anyways, the start is great! Me want more.

[Oakbark]

Wow. I like it.

It's fresh, original and your technique has improved somewhat.
Loved the battles, and Krystal's entrance was nice.
Ugh. Kimi. I hate that girl.
But for some reason I like May on the anime, since I heard her voice-over. Strange.

Later!

Oakbark. (nearly used Chris as my signature. I'm going crazy... )

[Chris 2.1]

Yay, replies:


Zee Sage: Hehe, you're excited! Chis, turn evil? Hehe, I doubt that very much! He's 15 now, a little more immature, hehe, so i doubt he'd have the sense to turn evil. Calvin returns next Chapter, so keep your peepers peeled!

Dragonfree: yea, darkness and despair isn't the way to leave...you want to leave with happiness and smiles etc etc, so that's the approach I've taken for this collection. I'm glad you liked it; did you like Scyther's Battle?

Oakbark: Oh, thankyou verymuch. Krystal's entrance was sorta heroic, and in this she's portrayed very heroically, as if she were a celebrity, almost. Chris is just a dope :-p
What's wrong with Kimi, neways?





Thanks for the feedback folks. Ch2...........another day.....lol. Ch3 still under progress....and thats all from me.

Chris

[Ultra_Poke2000]

that was a pretty nice chapter. now we finnaly find out what Chris's been doing all these years. that was funny when he did the evil laugh out loud. LOL! heh heh, "Chris is just a dope." poor Chris, what did he ever do to you?

Chris: ya, what did i ever do to you?

how'd you get here?

Chris: i dunno. o well.

*does that "shifty eyes" thing where you make your eyes into slits and look from side to side, then runz*

[Chris 2.1]

Ultra_Poke2000: lol, thankyou. There's a lot of funny references in this fanfic, and I've also begun to make litle lovey-dovey parts for some characters........hehe, its so fun playing god...

I'm also writing a team list for each character because 7 trainers=8PKMN each = 72 Pokemon = VERY confusing, it will help me remember what is what and who has who/what......I won't show you guys though because that would spoil everything

[Ultra_Poke2000]

crikey! (crocodile hunter style) 72 pkmn! dassalot! (that's a lot) well, since you cant show us the team list cuz it has spoilers, i'll just have to wait wont i? dnag! (sp on purpose) ok, now im gonna have to make a plan to figure it out. *thinks 4 a while* i'll get back to you on that. bye!

[Powarun]

I will start my first reply with a complaint
[Quote]she shot me down in flames and simply went off with Lance[end Quote]. I don't fell that was enough detail, Chris was a little more heartbroken, than that. Other than that the story is going well. Lewis was probally the best sub character in this chapter, trying to get Krystal, and how he explains his pokemon were stolen, a classic.

I liked what I read, and I will say keep it up.

Well you did it again Shiny marril, another great opening to a fic, good job, now lets hope that computer of yours doesn't blow up, and please for the sake of our humanity put it on a floppy, or two.

[Chris 2.1]

Ultra: Hehe well, if you remember I introduced an 8-Pokemon belt in the Indigo Road, which gave Dustox and Smeargle some nice spotlight. Well Dustox is still here, and I'm planning an interesting feud with one of Lewis' Pokemon...


Powarun: Deary me, well you may be right, but Chris wants to literally bury that memory. He's heartbroken, but he'll get all weepy if he goes into more detail, anyway. Beware! I've planned a lot of romance in this, for Chris and other characters!



Ch2 may come soon, dunno really. I'll think about it, as Ch3 is nearing ccompletion

[War Raichu]

Man, it's been a real long while! Chris, awesome first chapter! I can't wait for the next one!

[Chris 2.1]

Raichu: Hey again! Nice to see you! *hugs* welcme, welcome. Now, since I'm in a good mood, and Ch3 is finished, i'll post Chapter two up for you! Thanks!

Chapter Two
Enter Krystal, the Taming beauty
By Brit Chris

Krystal raced through the parted 'crowd' and appeared, with Shellgon, inbetween myself and Roy. She turned to me.

"Honestly, we're hear to reunite and get to re-aquainte ourselves" She said, her voice irritated and snappy. "Don't go and get at each other's throats like last time"

"Sorry" I said, as did Roy. I recalled Seviper, but Roy simply picked his Cacnea up, who had potato all over his mouth. Krystal, looking pretty disgusted with me, released her Swablu, who perched on her head. She led Shellgon to the buffet table, which was pretty battered and smashed.

Afterwards, and after people mingled with each other again, I approached Krystal. She was picking some cheesy nibbles from the splintered wreckage of the table. Swablu turned, and upn seeing me, flapped her wings happily and shot at me. She pecked my hair, rearranging it as if she were making a nest, but Krystal eisily took her friend back and placed her on her head.

"Sorry about before" I said quietly. She didn't look up.

"Maybe you should be sorry to the people you harmed, instead of me" She said snootily. I felt myself deepen in redness. I cleared my throat while Krystal picked splinters from her cake.

"So how is Dragon Rock?"

"It's great" She said, turning to me, with a perfectly glazed smile. It was as if the scuffle with Roy hadn't even occured. "I mean, it's beautiful scenery, and a perfectly clear crystal lake, with lots of trainers with really strong Dragon Pokemon..."

She suddenly paused.

"What about you? What have the past two years been like?"

"Oh, well I've just been training...I got work at that deli bar in town, it's pretty scabby but they pay me well, erm, I go to that battle park they just built, that's fairly good. Oh, and I go to SCHOOL, remember that? I'm studying English Literature and Art"

"Great!" Krystal cried. "I came into town yesterday, and I've just been hanging around with Kimi. She went to Hoenn with Brock and that Ash twat, well she's been competing in contest houses and won 5 ribbons. They are...smart, cute, beauty, strength and something else...anyway, she's going to Kanto soon, she's gonna set up her own set of contest houses"

"Cool" Was all I could think about. "So, Bagon evolved?"

"Yea, to Shellgon" Krystal replied happily. "Thing is, he won't evolve into Salamenace for a long time.... Swablu doesn't seem to want to evolve, either, so I thought she could go with Kimi to Kanto, She can help in cute contests"

"Yea" I said. "My Mum caught a Sharpedo, and she said I can use it if I want!"

"Hehe" Krystal chuckled. "Bet it's pretty scary, though"

"I could handle it" I replied, trying to flex my muscles. I looked stupid, I felt stupid...I was just a joke.

"Chris...you don't have to...'put on a show for me', you know. You don't have to act so macho, because I know you're not being yourself. I can't stop thinking about your last words to me"

"What, 'I could handle it'?" I asked.

"No, on Fuchsia pier" Krystal said lightly. "That you...fancied me"

"Oh"

"Look, this is getting too depressing" Krystal said lightly. "Do you wanna come and find Calvin? I'm sure I saw him before..."

"Yea"

Truth be told, I felt so awkward before. It was as if, for a brief second, I believed she'd actually say something along the lines of "I've reconsidered and realised my love for you" or something. My heart sank as she suggested finding Calvin. I'd really lost contact with him; his Mother said he was working on an Island quite far away, and he had obviously got a new mobile because his old number didn't work. Darn.

We went past aisles of people, people who'd try getting my attention, I felt like a washed up celebrity with this amount of attention! I saw Whitney again, I saw Jane, that goth girl. She had a Banette with a large bible under its arm. It also had a cross around its neck. She waved, which I returned.

Together, we walked outside and saw the verdant, fresh grass before us.

"I can't see him anywhere" Krystal sighed.

"He can't have come" I said emptily. I felt kinda weird...I didn't really want to SEE him anyway, he seems sorta self-centered now anyway.

"Oh, I came, alright" Came a rapt, darkened voice. I figured it was Calvin, since he answered Krystal's question in the first person. We turned, and saw Calvin appear from the back of the building. He looked the same...except for his swish leather jacket. SOMEONE was a fan of the Matrix....

"Nice to see you again, Chris, Krystal" Calvin said.

"Well someone seems somewhat poetic and mysterious" I replied. "Like the loner in a film who ends up shooting everybody"

"Indeed" Calvin said. "Say, Chris, how about a battle? What a great way for a reunion!"

"Erm..." I began. Krystal butted in.

"I will, I'm a qualified, certified Dragon Mage, and I'd LOVE to battle an old friend" She said. Calvin, who wore a pair of silver shades, took them off and surveyed Krystal. He gave a brief nod, and pulled out a red and white pokeball. I noticed he had three red and white, and five purply black ones.

"I choose Typhlosion!" Roared Calvin, sending the first Pokemon out. From the ball emregd his powerful, vicious starter. It roared loudly, its flame collar blazing and shooting up. Krystal plucked a Pokeball from her belt and released it.

"Go Charizard!"

Her prime fighter emerged and started roaring, too. The two fire Pokemon stared at each other and began to battle.

"Typhlosion, go for a take down" Calvin roared. Typhlosion got on all fours and raced forward. He ran at Charizard, who flew into the air. Typhlosion then leapt into the air, grabbing Charizard's tail, and threw the lizard back down.

"Now use beat up"

Typhlosion began pummelling Charizard manically. Charizard did his best to block the punches, but his efforts were failing. Charizard was getting pushed further and further back, but upon Krystal's command, released a flamethrower in Typhlosion's face. Now, Charizard swung his tail around and smashed it into Typhlosion's face.

"Typhlosion...go for a karate chop, now!" Calvin shouted. Typhlosion began chopping, swishing and flicking his paws forward, but Charizard's slinky neck enabled it to avoid and evade all the hits. Charizard then roared, releasing a torrent of flames as he shot into the sky.

"Charizard! Seismic toss!"

Charizard raced forward, attempting to grab Typhlosion. He was slowly hoisted into the air, but began lashing and trying to escape. Soon, Charizard had to cancel the attack, while Typhlosion landed on the ground with a thump. Typhlodion roared loudly, before beginning to create a shadow ball. In didn't know they could learn shadow ball!

"ROOA!" Came the roar of the beast. Firing the ball, Typhlosion leapt back as Charizard was engulfed by a silky purple energy. Roaring, Charizard dropped down, unable to take anymore punishment.

"Charizard" Krystal cried. She held her Pokeball out, but Calvin drew a purple Pokeball, too.

"Return"

He fired a black beam from the ball, which hit Charizard. Amazingly, the beam absorbed Charizard, vaporised him and drew him inside in the span of a few seconds. Krystal shouted out as Calvin put the ball away.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Came her hysteric scream.

"Hehe" Calvin grinned. He recalled Typhlosion in a normal Pokeball, although normal was becoming increasingly hard to define as I stood in the sweltering sun. He got out a fresh, red and white Pokeball and hurled it out. From the almighty white glow came a Mightyena - a wolf Pokemon, black, white and grey in colour. It growled ferociously as saliva trickled down its sharp, yellowing fangs.

"GIVE MY CHARIZARD BACK!" Krystal screamed. "NOW!"

"This isn't funny" I said, as severe as I could.

"Oh, I KNOW that" Calvin smirked. "Mightyena, go for a take down"

Soon, the hound began charging at us. I leapt back as I thought of who to choose. Someone fresh...Kecleon would get creamed sizewise, so I selected Electabuzz' Pokeball. Stretching, I threw ther ball forward. Electabuzz materialized infront of me. He flexed his arms and roared. I realised speed was a necessity, and I clasped his Pokeball firmly in my hand, for as soon as I saw any of those purple balls, I'd recall my friend.

"Thunderbolt, go" I commanded darkly. From his body, my electric soldier blasted a massive shockwave of electric energy, which arched through the air and shot down at Mightyena. He raced forward and evaded the attack, before tackling Electabuzz. Electabuzz skidded back and launched a series of punches in retalliation. Mightyena leapt back to evade each one, before barking loudly and bolting forward at my Pokemon.

"THUNDERWAVE!"

Electabuzz emitted a warming, sharp, vibrant glow and upon touching my faithful companion, Mightyena was enveloped in a shocking blast, causing it to shoot back and skid against the ground.

"Still strong, Chris" Calvin muttered. "MIGHTYENA, QUICK ATTACK!"

Shooting forward like a blur, Mightyena shot into Electabuzz and knocked him down. Calvin grinned and pulled out a Pokeball. It was purple. Oh god. I took my Pokeball from my hand and shot the beam at Electabuzz, calling him back into safety.

"Damn you" Calvin snapped. "Mightyena, roar"

Roaring, Mightyena sent a black energy around the Pokeball, the Pokeball I held tightly in my sweaty hand. The black energy then caused the ball to burst open and showed Electabuzz in white light as he was dragged back out.

"No!" I cried. However, I heard some loud angry roars, and as I turned, saw Jane, Whitney, Kimi, Lewis and Adam running at us. Jane wore the same violet drapes her black hair was in a plump bun and her green eyes shone brightly, while Kimi seemed kitted out in her tight shorts, yellow bumbag, Pokeball print Bandana and her red shirt. Adam, who I didn't even KNOW, wore a pair of baggy jeans, a rusted-effect t-shirt and had a pair of shades on. He seemed pretty mr.cool, although he entered the league after passing three tests on Pokemon and recieving three certified badges. Show-off.

"GET BACK!" Came Kimi's cry. "Or take on all 7 of us"

"Typhlosion, Mightyena" Calvin croaked. "ATTACK!"

After releasing his Typhlosion again, the two of Calvin's Pokemon rushed towards the trainers.

"Pupitar!" Adam shouted. "Bullet Tackle!"

Pupitar shot forward after sparkling silver. He smashed into Typhlosion, before burrowing underground so Typhlosion couldn't grab him. Calvin looked worried. He drew another Pokeball from his belt.

"Go Absol!"

His third Pokemon emerged, which looked deadly. The Absol my Pokemon fought against was amazingly strong, and that was wild; seeing one trained and tamed, posessing such strength before capture, must show Calvin can really train.

"Abusoru" Came the cry.

"ALL OUT ATTACK!"

Absol ripped Lewis' sleeve, causing the boy to squeal in protest. He drew a Pokeball from his belt and threw it forward. A strange, fat rabbit appeared. It was purple, with strange eyes, and had floppy ears.

"WHISMA!" It screamed. "WHIIIIIIIIIIISMA!"

"Why don't you bloody whisper" Jane sighed. "Duskull, attack!"

"Go Electabuzz" I ordered.

"You're up, Espeon!" Kimi roared. After the Espeon emerged, Krystal snorted. "That's MY Pokemon! Hurt it and I'll hurt you..."

"Go Bayleef" Whitney said proudly, releasing an affectionate little madam.

"AMPHAROS! I choose you!" Krystal shouted. Together, Electabuzz, Ampharos, Duskull, Whismur, Bayleef, Pupitar and Espeon formed. Electabuzz and Ampharos blasted an assisted thunderbolt, Pupitar sent a shower of rocks falling on the group, Duskull and Espeon sent psywaves from their jewels and Bayleef sent a razor leaf at the Pokemon. The three were peppered back by the force and seemed thoroughly beaten. Whismur was bouncing around happily.

"Absol, sudden death" Calvin uttered. Absol leapt high and sent a blue shockwave from its blade. It homed on towards Whismur, but Espeon charged infront of it. She was hit and thrown back against Kimi, and the two fell down. Whismur bounced around still. Calvin drew a purple Pokeball.

"NO!" Krystal screamed. But it was too late. The ball had left Calvin's grip and homed on towards Espeon. Krystal turned as her lavender coloured feline, unconcious on Kimi's stomach, was absorbed by the ball. The ball, now full, shot back to Calvin.

"ESPEON! NO!" Krystal screamed. Kimi watched effortlessly. "YOU BASTARD!"

"Names won't get her back" Calvin growled. "Sudden death, again. KEEP IT UP! Mightyena, go for Ampharos with headbutt, and Typhlosion, send a Heat Wave around the group!"

Given their attacks, the Pokemon obeyed. Kimi released a Beautifly. It shot through the air with such grace, but Typhlosion's firey blasts shot through the air and set her wing alight. Beautifly was screaming as she flapped around frantically. Ampharos leapt to evade a headbutt, while Electabuzz delivered a dynamicpunch and smashed the wolf back. Both blasted a thunderbolt and knocked it out.

"Bayleef, solarbeam" Whitney ordered. Crying out, Bayleef sent the greenish beam of sunlight through the air. Typhlosion ignited a fist and slammed it into the attack, wearing it out. Bayleef was now exhausted after consuming such energy, and swayed to and fro. Absol used a sudden death and knocked her out.

"Haha! Absol, aim for Electabuzz, he's weak, remember? Typhlosion, use Flamethrower on Duskull" Calvin cried.

"ELECTABUZZ! THUNDERBOLT!"

Electabuzz blasted an attack, but the sudden death blade cut through the electric and smashed into Electabuzz. Calvin drew two Pokeballs and hurled them forward at Bayleef and Electabuzz.

"NO!"

I roared with fury. What could I do? GET THE BALLS! I couldn't, really. I then thought of Wobbuffet. He would do brilliantly! I grabbed his ball from my belt, and released Wobbuffet. Now Calvin would feel the pain of his own attacks...

"Wobba!" Came his cry.

"Typhlosion, flamethrower" Calvin cried. Now, Duskull had floated into the sky, scared of the attacks.

"Come on, Duskull" Jane said, her voice fierce in a somewhat strange, caring way. "USE NIGHTSHADE!"

Two streaks of purple energy were jaggered from Duskull's paws. They charged down at Typhlosion, but as it was a long-range attack, it was easy to evade.Typhlosion clutched a fireball in his right paw and hurled it. Duskull just wasn't able to attack Typhlosion. I got the impression Jane's FIRST Pokemon would be GOOD...meh, sue me...

"Duskull..." Jane wept. "RETURN!"

She recalled her Pokemon and released something else.

"Murkrow! Go! Use a sky attack!"

Murkrow shot forward from the sky and sent Typhlosion flying back. Jane smirked as Murkrow perched on her arm.

"Absol, sudden death" Calvin croaked, pointing at us. This was our chance!"

"Cou -

Wobbuffet screamed an unusual scream as the lightening fast blade smashed into him. He skidded back at my feet, showing a weatherworn and defeated expression. He made me look totally embaressing. I recalled him quickly.

"See? You can't keep fighting" Calvin rasped. "Absol, white lightening"

There was a shattering noise, and Absol's blade glowed. He roared as he stood boldly. Large streaks of electrical energy bolted into the ground, shocking whoever was close. Pupitar was struck, Murkrow was shocked and Whismur simply became fried. The three lay there, severely beaten, as did Ampharos, who had tried fighting back, and Beautifly, who was simply not cut out for battling.

"RETURN!" The trainers cried.

"Damnit, I wanted that Pupitar" Calvin growled. "Mightyena! TACKLE ADAM!"

"No" Adam spat. "GO Swellow! PROTECT!"

His amazing swallow-thing flapped a large star infront of itself and Adam. Mightyena forced itself against the barrier. It was thrown back, and later Swellow darted forward and attacked it. Mightyena looked pretty worn, so Typhlosion raced at the blue bird. However, Swellow soared into the air and blasted a fury attack forward, sending darts of energy into Typhlosion. Typhlosion had an injured arm, but carried on firing the flamethrower. Swellow ducked under it and smashed into Typhlosion, too.

"Return!" Calvin shouted, recalling Typhlosion AND Mightyena. He looked at Absol. "Take the group down with an Ancientpower"

We held our ground. I knew I couldn't send a Pokemon out, the chances were it would get captured. I knew Calvin must only have one Pokeball left...but I was still not releasing anything. Swellow was the only one out.

"Oh, god" Krystal sighed. "GO Steelix!"

The large iron snake emerged, roaring and spinning its segments. Absol released a mass erruption of boulders, rocks and pebbles, which shot forward at Steelix. He held his Tail up to defend, and Swellow dived to attack.

"Absol, TACKLE"

Absol ran headfirst into Swellow. He fell to the ground. Calvin drew a Pokeball, so Krystal had Steelix lift Swellow up with its tail. Adam then recalled it. He threw out a Manectric, while Whitney sent out a Cloyster.

"CLOYSTER! ICE BEAM!" Came her angry cry. "DO IT FOR BAYLEEF!"

Lewis then grabbed a ball and released a Lotad.

"YAY LOTAD!" He screamed. "Water gun!"

The strange duckweed Pokemon fired the blast of water, which did, overall, very little damage to Absol. It launched itself into the air and smashed into the water/grass combo. However, Absol was struck by the ice beam, its joints frozen. Manectric blasted a thunderbolt and finally finished off the devestating Pokemon.

"Absol!" Calvin cried. "...Return"

He recalled his Pokemon and grinned.

"If I had 6 friends we'd have won" He grinned.

"Calvin, give our Pokemon back!" I demanded. "I thought you were my friend..."

"Yea! You're one of us!" Whitney roared. "How can you resort to taking away the peices from our past?"

"I do what I want" Calvin said simply. "But now...this reunion must end. I have a life outside Pontarico, you know. Farewell"

Calvin turned, but I grabbed his shoulder.

"Screw your farewell" I snapped. "SCREW IT! GIVE MY ELECTABUZZ BACK!"

"AND MY BAYLEEF!" Whitney roared. "Cloyster, water gun!"

Cloyster blasted the attack but Calvin turned and ran. I gave chase. I ran after Calvin as he began to head through town. He didn't look back as i charged at him. He began to get the better of me; sprinting wasn't my forte, and I slowly lagged behind as Electabuzz, Charizard, Bayleef and Espeon drew further away from me.

"No..." I gasped, merely jogging as Calvin pressed on. "NO!!! GET BACK! THAT BOY HAS MY POKEMON!"

I turned behind me to see Jane sitting on the back of a Gengar as it soared through the sky after Calvin. I saw Krystal and Whitney behind me, each looking flustered, but with the strength to continue. Where was Kimi? Where was Adam? Where was Lewis?

"CALVIN!" I roared, suddenly turning. He had disapeared. I hobbled along through the town, shouting for him, as Jane swooped ahead. Krystal and Whitney panted and stopped by me as we recovered by a large fountain. Through the crystal-clear water, small glints from bright pennies flashed proudly.

"No..." Krystal wept. "NO!"

"Bayleef..." Whitney whimpered. "My darling Bayleef"

"Charizard...Espeon..." Krystal sniffed. "HELP US!"

"Jane's chased Calvin" I told the girls. "I hope she gets that scumbag"

I heard a familliar voice. Turning I saw my mum, kitted in her uniform, coming around the corner.

"What are you doing here, honey?" She asked. "What's wrong, Krystal?"

I explained to her about Calvin. Ok, so while I was in Kanto, Mum went to this training place and earned heaps of qualifications, and then she joined the POLICE ACADEMY. I mean, WTF? She's an easy mug target.... Anyway, now she works as a Policewoman in Pontarico. It's pretty convinient.

"Where is he heading?" She asked. "Growlithe, come on!"

The Growlithe by her side barked and the two ran through town. Us three followed, as the crowd parted and whatnot. We ran through town, out town, to the outskirts, past the outskirts and even headed off through the forest. As we came out, we saw the shoreline. Jane was sitting on the floor, head in her arms.

"Jane!" Cried Krystal, running over. "Jane, what happened?"

"I-it was awful!" She cried. "I used G-gengar's s-shadow ball to stop him, but he released ch-charizard! It had dark eyes and was very strong. Gengar wasn't a m-match for it! A-and then he threw a 5th dark ball at Gengar and c-captured him!"

"He got away..." mum said sorrowfully. "Jane, how did he escape?"

"There was a speedboat on the beach" Jane whimpered helplessly. The poor thing...she must feel awful. "There was a Tangela driving it...with its vines"

"Yea, that's Calvin's Pokemon" I pointed out helpfully. Well, nobody replied. Cheeky beggars...

"He must be working for the Black Market" Krystal pointed out. "Why don't we send out water Pokemon after the boat?"

"We could, yes" Mum said. "Sharpedo, GO HONEY!"

From her Lure Ball came the angry shark.

"SHARSHARSHAR!" Came its unhealthy roar.

"Honey, go find a speedboat with a 15-year old kid in it. There should be a Tangela driving, too" Said my Mum. "He's wearing a leather jacket, has ruffled, maple-brown hair and...green-no-brown...erm...and has eyes. Ok? EYES"

"Wait!" Krystal cried, getting two Pokeballs out. "GO! DEWGONG, KINGDRA!"

My mouth was left hanging as a fluffy white Dewgong emerged into the water. It cried the last part of its name in a childish voice. I remembered Krystal's Seel being stolen...

"I got Seel back! THEY GOT DANE!" Krystal cried happily. "And I trained him a LOT. Kingdra, Dewgong, go with Sharpedo. Kingdra, you remember Calvin? You're looking for him"

"Da-doo!" Kingdra croaked. He swam off, as did Dewgong and Sharpedo. Whitney sent Cloyster and a Gyarados, too. The five went off in search of Calvin. Meanwhile, Mum got out a set of keys from her Pocket.

"We'll be pursuing them by boat, of course" She smirked.

"What?" I asked. "You have a police boat?"

"Well no, but this is the master key, it fits any ignition to a Delux Speedking Speedboat" She replied.

She took us around the side of the Island, only a five minute walk mind you, and we got to a pier. There was a fat fisherman with a Poliwag and Tentacool, who was in his Delux Speedking. Mum told Growlithe to bite him. Hehe. Mum got the man off the boat and gave him the breathaliser; she had apparently warned him earlier. He failed! How lucky. Mum did tell me, away from the man, that she had let him off as he wasn't actually drink-sailing, but she accused him of trying it any minute. She rang headquarters and told an officer to take him to the station for a 'small talk', while she attended unfinished business. She invited the seven of us onto the boat; it was two-storey and looked more of a fishing cruiser! We all clambered aboard as Mum set off to find Calvin with us. And so began our wee 'quest', as it shall henceforth be known...








Chapter3:
-A trading card,
-A secret
-Coupling


!

[Powarun]

Holy, um some curse word I will not say. Calvin is a very bad kid, I really hope he goes to jail. Hmm, you should make a poll saying who was the meanest person, um, I forgot who was her name but the girl that killed Granbull, Mortimer/Sid, or Calvin, that would have intresting results. Because most people don't steal stuff at a funeral party unless they are not part of the will and are very envious. Also funny how Chris is still going after Krystal, when you would think she would have a boyfreined by now.

[Dragonfree]

WHOA!

You surely can surprise, Chris.

Anyway, interesting. Very interesting. Calvin has turned into the villain, nice (I've told you before, I love evil). But still, NO ONE DARES STEALING MY FAVORITE POKÉMON! Go hunt him down, Chris... and use Scyther a lot. For me.

[Oakbark]

Wow. You certainly did not exaggerate when you said there'd be a BIG battle!

So-many-pokemon....
Pokemon overload..... how many poke's were in that scene?

Calvin's like a Team Snatch dude. Or maybe The Organisation are developing better pokeballs.

Which leads me to Dane (a.k.a yours truly) who has been caught. Well, I am a loyal employee, I'm sure Holmes will find it in his wallet- I mean heart- to get me out somehow.

Trading card? Coupling?

Tell me more!!

[War Raichu]

Oh, man, Calvin's been a very bad boy! Wasn't there a hint of him turning bad back in the Indigo Road? Poor Krystal, losing Charizard and Espeon............ Seems Calvin's using the Dark Balls from Pokemon 4Ever. I'm also interested in this "Coupling" subject. Can't wait for Ch. 3!

[Andrew]

Wow, an action packed episode, so Espeon, Charizard, Electabuzz and who else were stolen? Not Wobbuffet!

And if they really wanted to stop him, why not send ALL your Pokemon after him? He obviously can't steal them all.

Heh, I found Chris's mum to be an Officer hillarious.

Just ummmm be sure to clarify things a bit more, even with a short paragraph recapping everything that happened for the audience in narrative.

K then.

[Chris 2.1]

Yay, replies galore.



Powarun: Yea, I may do a poll. We'll have to see. Hmm...Calvin has reasons for stealing, I think anyway (!) and it will be interesting how this all turns out, really. I'm looking forward to writing more about him in the future. Lol, Chris still fancies Krystal but... but...she may be taken!

Dragonfree: Scyther has a good battle in Ch5> (that means chapter five or after), but who it's against I won't say! I'm glad i surprised you, because I love surprising!

Oakbark: Umm....lots! Typhlosion, Mightyena, Absol, Electabuzz, Espeon, Charizard, Bayleef, Duskull, Murkrow, Whismur.....loads more than that! Lol. Anyway, Dane's BUSTED! I doubt he'll get out anytime soon. Yes, it seems the Organisation has been going back to Pokemon...but why? And NO, no spoilers for the next Chapter!!!.!.!.!.

Rai: Yea, I hinted he joined the organisation at the end of TIR. Also, the dark balls were indeed from PKMN4EVER, I just stole them I hope you enjoy the coupling!

Ozzy: Hey, thanks for reading! Yea, Buzz, 'Zard and Esp' were stolen, as was Jane's Gengar A.N.D Whitney's Bayleef. Meh, I wish Lewis got stolen ^^

LOL well Chris' Mum may have some POV's if it proves popular enough, I want to have more of her. Wobbuffet may also get some spotlight! Thanks.



Ch4 beginning. This is more of a Lewis chapter, but it DOES include Chris' eldest brother, Brett! The steel Gym Leader from Olivine is HERE! ^^

[Oakbark]

Oakbark:
Ummm.....
Did you have to put 'busted' in caps? What a killer blow....

Dane:
................

Oakbark:
Oh know you don't! You're down and out pal!

Dane:
No I'm not - look at your avatar alias and sig....

Oakbark:
Shut up you!

Wobbuffet:
Wobba!!

Oakbark:
Wobbuffet?

Wobbuffet:
Wob wobba buffet!!!

Oakbark:
There's a fire at Old Man Steward's barnhouse?

*Wobb' nods* *Oak and Wobb race off in unison*

[Chris 2.1]

Oakbark: In all fairness you won the role of a TIR character, but I'm sorry to have to break it to you. Nevermind, eh? Wait...that character in your sig was DANE? Well, that's certainly interesting. Did you notice Jane has a religious Banette with a cross around its neck and a bible? ^_^ little TIR reference there. Although the pendant...well...you never know...



Ch4 is going really well, I've written lots of it. Very little Chris, this focuses on Lewis for a reason! More of the coupling thing I mentioned, and I'm also planning a farfetched chapter near the end, which EVERYBODY will enjoy!


Also, here's a funny piccy: (I hope)

[attachment deleted by admin]

[Ultra_Poke2000]

shee-ot! what in the poo is happening?! DIE, CALVIN, DIE!!! he stole CHARIZARD!!! noooooo!! that (this has been cencored out for the benefiet of pokemon comunity at large, especialy the little ones out there. ) Calvin! arghablrfintolbirchtinderble! WTF happened to him? man, if i was there with my ultra team raised from my good old Gold/Siver days, argh! there was a super ultra combo that they could have done if i released them all at once. or maybe if i had a gun. hmm... yeah! lets see Calvin pull off a Matrix now! BLARGHAHAMWAHARGLEFLARGHAHA! *grabs a machine gun and goes CrAzY!*
to self: wait! calm down. its ok. breath. *calms down and becomes sane again*

ok. now then. after my insane rant, let me say: that was the one thing i did not expect to happen! you never cease to deliver, Chris. great chapter. cya!

[Oakbark]

Hey!

Ummmm....sorry Chris - no more Dane conversations I promise! Yeah, I noticed the Banette religious thing - maybe it's the norm for ghost poke's.

*lol*
When you say farfetched, do you mean very false or do you mean Farfetch'd the pokemon? I'm very much assuming the former. Although Farfetch'd are cool....

Funny how a character you hate can become the focus of a chapter - sometime's it works out well, and you begin to like them. But then again, it's Lewis.....

Nooo!
Can't see the picture! What is it?

Later!

Oakbark.

[Chris 2.1]

Here's Ch3!

Chapter Three
The Secret of Happy Meals
By Brit Chris

"POTATO chips!" Came Lewis' happy cry as he ran up the metal spiral staircase to the upper-deck. "I choose you, guys!"

Lewis threw four Pokeballs onto the ground; a Whismur, a Lotad, a Poochyena and a Shroomish emerged. They looked weak. Lewis clutched the bag of potato chips happily as the four looked on eagerly. Lewis ripped it open, splitting the packet and sending a wave of crinkled chips at myself, Kimi and Whitney.

"LEWIS!" Kimi retorted, lifting her silver shades from her face. We all lay on loungers on the top deck, but now we were covered in the ruffled chips. Kimi released her Torchic and ordered a peck attack. Lewis squealed rather delicately as Torchic bombarded him.

"Lotad! Water gun" Lewis mumbled. Lotad was eating, and spat in Lewis' eye. "Ok, ok, Poochie, bite!"

Lewis' Poochyena just snapped its jaws together while laying down. Lewis sighed. He got a doggy treat from his bag, but before he could tease his Pokemon with it, the grey puppy had knocked Lewis to the ground and began ripping his bag.

"Poochie!" Came the weak cry of Lewis. He had trouble rolling back up; he reminded me of a beached whale. Torchic flapped back to Kimi and relaxed. Whitney seemed to enjoy watching Lewis get attacked; she released a Breloom, which looked disgusted at its pre-evolution romping around so beefily. This Breloom seemed quite dainty; maybe it was female?

I released Dustox; he hadn't been out for a while, and Kecleon. Kecleon sat with me, while Dustox flapped off to investigate the ship. I knew, being attracted to lights, he would probably electrocute himself, but I had carried some paralyse spray which could tense his muscles and help him. I didn't release anybody else yet; we didn't want this to become a petting zoo.

*

Krystal

"Kecleon, don't stick to a certain colour" Jane said calmly. "Like, totally mix your emotions"

Jane and me watched as the waves rolled against each other, lapping against the side of the boat. Jane's purple Kecleon swirled with a lavalamp effect; it was totally snarky. I hadn't seen Chris' Kecleon yet, I was going to see him on the top deck soon anyway; Jane reeked of gange, a smell most uninviting.

"What else have you caught?" I asked the goth, as Kecleon made woozy noises. It began swaying lightly.

"Well, I like got another Victreebel for my male one, i've been expressing my emotions through painting while they express theirs through sex. It's like a porno shoot, but in watercolour"

"Uh-huh" I grumbled. Like, I DON'T GIVE A FRIG!

"And, when, like, you know, you get the munches for a totally MEAN snack? Well I was like trying to get some gherkins and I found this Unown thingy, well I totally caught it, and the morning after the night before I was all DUDE!?!"

Yea, dude indeed...

"Lovely" I said. "Well Azumarill is at home; she met a male Azumarill...she's a cranky Mom now. My Seel evolved"

"Cool" Jane said. "So ANYWAY, like Unown, I was all WOW so I caught it, and here it is"

She released an Unown, identical to the one I saw in that temple with Chris ages and ages ago. I wasn't impressed with this 'G' Unown. Meh, I wasn't too bothered with Jane anyway. I gave her some stupid excuse I went to see Mrs Haruka, and after seeing her Unown keep a track on me, I decided to actually go and see her.

Her Sharpedo had a waterproof tracker device; it resembled a proximety mine. It clung to the star on Sharpedo's back and as Sharpedo swam after Calvin, and Mrs Haruka's navigation system displayed how close Sharpedo was from them.

"How's it going?" I asked kindly.

"Great so far, Sharpedo's found the boat" Mrs Haruka explained. "We're very close to them, and we'll get those five Pokemon back"

"Thanks so much" I said sweetly. "Dewgong and Kingdra are doing their best"

I bid farewell to Mrs Haruka and went to find Adam. He wasn't on the top deck with Chris and the others, so it would be good to spend some quality time with him. He seemed pretty nice, he was good looking and had a nice tan. He had never been this hot before, he was like a super-geek, but three years does a lot to some people...

I found Adam at the back of the boat. He was talking with his Swellow, who had fought bravely in the battle earlier. He must have revived.

"Hey" He said lightly, as Swellow soared through the sky. "Sorry about Charizard and Espeon"

"It's Ok!!" I yelped extatically. Oops. Adam looked scared.

"Well, we'll fight to the bitter end to get them back" Adam declared. "You're a great trainer; I hear you're in the Dragon Clan of Dragon Rock?"

"Yea" I smirked. "Dragon Mage, that's my status"

"Congratulations" He replied, hugging me. Aww...he felt warm...

*

Chris

"POKEMON!"

"EGG!"

"POKEMON!"

"IT'S AN EGG!"

Kimi and Lewis continued to get at each other's throats as they argued over the Pokemon on the ground. Lewis had released it, explaining he had found this 'rare Pokemon egg' in a large ditch, and caught it in a ball. Kimi argued it was a Silcoon, she had one herself before it evolved to Beautifly, but Lewis was too boisterous to admit defeat.

"I have to admit, Lewis" I said calmly. "IT'S A GODDAMN POKEMON!"

"NO IT'S NOT!" Screeched Lewis, grabbing the white cocoon (which cried "silcoon" as it was lifted) and walked over to a lounger. He sat there and drew a Pokeball, sending out a scrawny Meditite.

"Medi-tite-tite!" It cried. Ugh. Bad Monkey.

It was performing these strange jump kicks and whatnot, but Kimi had her Torchic use a quick attack. It knocked Meditite down onto the ground. Meditite, angered, got up, but Torchic fired a bombardment of embers and sent the Meditite crying. Lewis recalled it.

"KIDS! CALVIN'S IN SIGHT!" I heard Mum cry. GREAT!

"He's used up all his Pokeballs" Kimi thought. "On Electabuzz, Charizard, Espeon, Gengar and Bayleef. We're slightly safer now, then, aren't we?"

"Yea" I mumbled. "Kecleon!"

I threw my ball to the ground and released Kecleon. He looked pretty hyper, happy and overly excited, poor mite. We went to McDonalds; IT COST ME £50! I mean, 8 Pokemon, a meal each...add Seviper, who ate a table AND the Ronald McDonald costume and you've got an even heftier bill. I sent it to Mum.

"I choose you, Rosie!" Kimi cried. She released a very small Roselia. It looked sharp. "ROSIE! RAZOR LEAF!"

Rozelia spun around and leapt into the air, releasing a torrent of sharp leaves shooting at the boat. It hit the side. Nothing happened. Sharpedo and the other Pokemon had safely circled the boat, so Calvin couldn't get away. He had a gash on his face; looks like one of the Pokemon had attacked.

"Kecleon, fire a thunderbolt!" I ordered. From Kecleon's stripe, which had flashed to a yellow colour, he blasted a streak of electricity. It arched through the air and bolted down at Calvin. I suddenly realised what I'd done; it was against the law to attack a human unless it was in retalliation...hopefully I'd be let off, this was, in a sense, a form of retalliation...

"Roselia! sleep seed!" Kimi cried. Her voice was somewhat elegant as she spun around. Roselia spat a large seed from her mouth; hocking that great big seed must have hurt! The seed hit Calvin and released a cloud of aromatic perfume. Within a few seconds Calvin had drooped to sleep. Kimi cheered and watched with Kecleon and Myself; Whitney and Lewis had gone to find Jane, Krystal and Adam, as well as my Mum, on the main deck.

"Good job" I said, rewarding Kimi. She thanked me.

Whitney shouted Gyarados over and, clambering onto its back, she swam over to the speedboat. There was still that damned Tangela at the wheel. It sent two vines shooting at Whitney, trying to overthrow her, but Gyrados sinewed out of the way, before shooting a water gun and stunning the Pokemon. It didn't deal a lot of damage, but enough to hurt Tangela while Whitney grabbed the five Pokeballs from Calvin's belt. She held them in her cradled arms as Gyarados sailed back to the boat, where Whitney leapt off and recalled her Gyarados. Kingdra and Dewgong swam to the side of the boat, waiting for Krystal, and Cloyster emerged, giving Whitney the chance to recall it. Mum had Jane use her Duskull to levitate Calvin onto the deck. Mum handcuffed him.

"Krystal? Adam?" Whitney shouted. By now, the 5 of us had joined together as the boat began to sail away to the land, but no sign of Krystal or Adam. This was curious. I wonder where she had gotten to?

"I'll go look" I hissed, recalling Kecleon and wandering off across the deck. This boat smelled really weird, like seaweed and...plastic. I was so pleased Electabuzz wasn't hurt; it was so good knowing he was back on my team...well, he wasn't yet, but he would be sooner or later, once I found Krystal. She'd be pleased to have her Charizard and Espeon back...

"Krystal?" I cried, wandering around the back of the boat. Unfortunately, I saw an awful sight. A disgusting sight, a sickening and altogether upsetting sight. Before me lay Krystal and Adam, embracing, kissing, really going for it, right infront of me. They were on the floor, at the back of the boat, eyes closed in harmonic peace.

"Mmmph! Chris!" Krystal cried, pulling apart from Adam. Her makeup was all over Adam's face, who wiped it off casually as he lay on the floor. His shirt looked ready to be strewn from his body. "Have they got our Pokemon back?"

"No thanks to you" Came my uttered breath, as I led them back to the top deck. They quickly followed, almost unable to keep up with me as I stormed towards the stairs. I got a feeling of happiness from the words I'd said, as well as making Krystal feel bad about snogging Adam. That's how it should be; she should be panged with regret every time she kisses a boy...

*

We were now sailing back to Pontarico; the cruise would take 20 minutes. Mum, holding the five Dark Balls, released our Pokemon before the seven trainers. Electabuzz emerged, Charizard formed, Espeon and Bayleef emerged and Gengar, too, stood in the light from the Pokeballs. I hugged Electabuzz, happy he was safe. Bayleef nervously trotted to Whitney, who bent down and embraced her close friend. Krystal had left Adam's company and hugged Charizard tightly, while Kimi, kneeling below her, hugged Espeon. Gengar and Jane hugged each other, too. We all kept our Pokemon out, the ones that had been stolen anyway. Dustox had apparently been interested in a torchlight he had found, but Mum brought him back to me. I recalled the pesky, powerful bug.

Home was near, and I was hoping to just get back and relax. I had, however, considered a celebratory meal at McDonalds with my team. It sounded good; I was actually partly interested in the holographic trading card free with my Happy Meal. So far I got Armaldo (My brother Brett had one of those, you know), Lileep, Sableye and Makuhita. I wanted more, damnit, more!

We sailed to the dock, at which time everybody thanked Mum and headed off. I wanted to go to McDonalds with Krystal, but she didn't seem interested. She wandered off with Adam, trying to look discrete. Well...I couldn't exactly head to McDonalds on my own, could I? Electabuzz and me watched as the other trainers filtered off the boat happily, heading home, to the battle park or just into the town.

"You look lonely"

I saw Whitney walk over to me. Her Bayleef was by her side, looking rather flushed and weatherworn with the events of recently.

"I wanted a bite to eat" I said, as if I were a spoilt child. "But I don't wanna go on my own..."

I recieved a sharp shock from Electabuzz, who looked somewhat flustered and angry.

"I mean with another friend, Electabuzz" I reminded him. He looked pissed off.

"I'll come with you..." Whitney said soothingly. "Could we swing by the battle park first? I'd like to give Breloom a battle...she's been fairly inactive recently, you see"

Truth be told, I didn't like the idea. Nevertheless, if it meant another foil card from Maccy D's, I'd be happy to go with Whitney.

*

We arrived at the battle park. There was a lot of arenas, different textured ones or different surfaces. There was the marble arena, a smooth, sleek arena which needed good grip, the muddy arena which was dug out from the ground about a foot deep, filled with sloppy mud. This was good to practise evading and stuff. There was the standard arena, made from compressed soil, there was the safari arena, with long grass obstructing the Pokemon. There was loads more, like an icy arena, a rock field and a water arena. The one I liked was the Dynamo Arena; this had the floor hooked up to shock pads and was for non-fliers only. After a long time on the ground a sharp electric shock was given; this meant your Pokemon had to use a lot of attacks in mid-air and had to be very agile. I had trained here with Kecleon, who after learning thunderbolt, was very resistent against electricity in recent months. Whitney decided to battle on the normal arena, while I decided to go on the muddy one.

I had to pick my three Pokemon before hand, so I selected Seviper, Umbreon and Kecleon. They were great for mud. I handed my other 5 Pokeballs to the lady in the building and walked outside, out back, where many arena's greeted me. The whole place had signposts directing me to the various arena's, but I knew my way. I walked along the gravel path to the arena. I met eyes with this Latino stud that was on the opposite side of the arena, a Great Ball clasped in his hand.

"Arr choo my opponent?" He asked me.

"Yea"

"Then let us battle" He spoke, his voice sharp, yet mysteriously soft. He threw his first greatball out into the mud. The sludgy surface engulfed the ball, but as it burst open a large shower of light parted the mud away while a Pokemon formed. It splashed in the mud playfully, yet with a sense of dignity and maturity in there. It was still. A light brown, with red markings on it. It was very tiny; it must have touched the bottom of the mud pit.

"I've never seen that before" I mumbled.

"Thees issss a Baltoy" The Latino spoke. "Ent I am Robert"

"I'm Chris" I said. "Seviper, go!"

Seviper dived into the mud and emerged, brown splatters over its face. Robert clicked his fingers and twirled.

"Teech those sukkers our rapid spin!" He cried. Baltoy made a strange noise and began spinning, sending a twirling, muddy tornado swirling around him. The mud splashed into Seviper's face, but he (disgustingly) licked it off with his forked tongue. Baltoy leapt into the air and tackled Seviper, but Seviper sent an iron tail at him, smashing into his side and throwing him back into the mud.

"Return" Robert said. "My Pokemon, it is weak"

He recalled Baltoy and reached for another ball.

"Go Hitmonlee!"

His next Pokemon emerged, legs in the mud. He eyed Seviper ferociously.

"Seviper! Poison tail!" I cried. This guy hadn't even seen the start of Seviper's startling, sceptic special.

*

So, after the battle (I beat Robert's Hitmonlee AND Swampert; Seviper got KO'ed by Hitmonlee, but Umbreon finished the job nicely), I met Whitney, who used a spore/jump kick combo to beat the living turkeys out of her opponent. I only saw his Kirlia fall down to Breloom. What a chump. After that, we walked out, I picked up my Pokemon team (As did Whitney) and we went through town. Whitney told me I was funny, which was sweet. She seemed to be really friendly.

We went to McDonalds, and we sat down to our meals. Whitney had a Fillet 'O' Fish, which looked disgusting, while I stuck with a happy meal. I chomped on my eight Mcnuggets happily, popping them in my mouth. It was satisfying...I felt so happy...so carefree...in an odd sense, a sense I only expirienced with McDonalds...

"You know, I only became vegetarian after that documentary exposing McDonalds" Whitney told me. "Anyway, I'd come here if you were here..."

"That's sweet" I grunted, crumbs flying from my mouth. "MY HAPPY MEAL!"

I grabbed the box and peeped inside, remembering I was here for a trading card. I picked it out and glared happily at my Sableye. It shone brightly...I waved the card to and fro excitedly as the shinyness dazzled my pupils. To...fro...to...fro...

"Chris?" Whitney asked. "Chris? Chris? Chris? Chris?"

I saw her face wobble and misshape. Her hat began to leap from her head. A mouth formed.

"QUABALABALOOTWANAWANNAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EE!" It screeched.

"NO! THE HAT!" I screamed, falling from my chair.

"Chris?" Whitney asked. "Flobadob, flob flob flobadobadob?"

"NO! EVIL WOMAN!" I screeched in protest. I thudded to the ground, Seviper walked from behind me and began talking. He had a monacle, a pipe and a Sherlock Holmes hat on. He kinda propped himself up strangely.

"Quite frankly" He began, in a Chris Eubank style voice. "I am hooked on this stuff"

"You know..." Whitney said, her face vibrating wildly. Soon, her eyes dropped out and her lips crawled off her face. They screamed 'free Nelson! Free Nelson!'. "I think someone's been tinkering with these ingrediants"

She tore a nugget apart, but Seviper lunged and wolfed it down. Seviper then began singing...

"Oh I do like to be beside the seaside,
Oh I do like to be beside the sea,
I do like to stroll along the prom-prom-prom,
Where the brass band plays, tiddley-om-pom-pom"

"NoOoOoOoOoOo!" I screamed, holding my hands out. "NOOOOOOO"

*

"Chris?" Whitney asked.

I looked around. My head throbbed violently. I felt awful.

"You're awake" She said soothingly.

"What happened?" I asked; my voice suddenly shot up and down.

"You had a dose" Whitney told me. "Of Cocaine"

"What?" I cried. "Cocaine?"

"It was in the McNuggets" Whitney said. "I don't know how they got them in. My Mum's been looking at a sample I brought home. You went all funny and fell off your chair, and then you knocked Seviper's Pokeball, and that's why he emerged. Then you just got really freaked out at everything"

"I feel awful"

"You'll be fine...I think" Whitney said. "You took enough to be ill, but not enough to be taken to hospital or anything serious"

"Well can I sue McDonalds?" I asked.

"Oh, well I think so" Whitney began. "My Mum's only a Doctor, not a Lawyer. I suppose you have a case"

"Why would they out Cocaine in the food?" I asked. "And why have I been the only person to be affected by it?"

"Who knows?" Came Whitney's calm reply. I looked around. I was in a cream coloured room. The sheets were a sky blue, and one wall had blocks of baby, sky and navy blue printed variously. Her silky curtains wafted in a breeze. This must be Whitney's room. She had a poster of a woman named Erica on her wall; Erica had a Weepinbell, A Treecko and a Troprious with her, around a circular badge in seven colours. The door was ajar.

"That's Erica, she's a grass-type trainer" Whitney told me.

"Cool"

Our conversation was interrupted when a lady strode through into the room. She had Black hair like Whitney's but it came to her armpits. Her complexion was smooth and her eyes glazed an emerald green. She wore a wooly sweater with a pattern on it, and carried a tray with two mugs of hot chocolate on them. She placed it on the end of the bed and smoothed my sheets.

"Hello" She said to me. "I'm Whitney's Mum, Jodi. How are you feeling?"

"Quite migrane-ish" I mumbled.

"Dear, dear" She sighed. "Whitney told me what happened, but it's Ok. I'm a Doctor. I've been working from home these past few weeks but I'm working on this now. I believe we can get sufficient information from this sample Whitney brought home. You could sue the pants off Ronald McDonald"

"Did my Pokemon get any of the drug intake?" I asked.

"I'm not all that sure" Jodi replied. "Well, Seviper has, we know that. He's recovering downstairs. I only know that because Whitney told me so; I can't really find any way of finding out weather your other Pokemon have been affected or not"

"That's Ok" I said kindly. "Thankyou"

I took the drink and sipped it. I began slurping, so I soon settled the cup down in embaressment.

"We'll give you a lift home, poppet" Jodi said. "I'll tell your Mum what happened, Okay?"

"Thanks so much" I said happily. "Thankyou"

"Oh, you're welcome" Jodi said, smiling. She wandered out Whitney's bedroom.

"I hope none of my other Pokemon have had a cocaine intake" I sighed. "Power-enhancing drugs are illegal for Pokemon...I could get sent to jail!"

"You won't get caught" Whitney assured me. "Everything will be fine"

I didn't feel her optimism. I felt scared. Drugs. Those things everybody tells you to stay away from, and I've taken them! Without knowing, I've consumed drugs and I feel...I feel...dirty. Filthy. Diseased, even. My Pokemon might be hurt, too. I don't know what to do...the secret of Happy Meals is...is...Cocaine in the McNuggets?

[Dragonfree]

I was kinda surprised that they caught Calvin in this chapter. I thought you'd make a bit more out of that. It was really, really funny when Chris got high, I haven't laughed like that at a fanfic since Quite Possibly the World's Weirdest Vacation by Latios. And DOWN WITH McDONALDS! Hehehe...

Krystal and Adam? Chris is going to have a hard time...

[War Raichu]

Man, right from the beginning, poor Chris experiences Krystal kissing another guy. But the part where Chris got high was probably one of the funniest moments you've ever created! So THAT'S why the new McNuggets are "white" meat.

[Powarun]

I read the chapter yesterday, I was eating mcdonalds and reading this fic. So O_o, luckily I didn't get a cocaine filled burger. My question is why would some one put something so valuable like that in a chicken nugget, no I don't do drugs I just know that drugs cost a lot.

Other wise it was a pretty good chapter, I was disapointed in Chris's attitude when he saw Adam making out with Krystal. I mean you are slacking in the whole Chris's attitude with Krystal deal. This is just me but I still want to punch the kid who is dating a girl who said I didn't really have a chance with her.

Well got to go.

[Ultra_Poke2000]

the secret of Happy Meals is...is...Cocaine in the McNuggets?

hahaha! the truth is revealed! it was realy funny when Chris was spouting off things like "NOOO! EVIL WOMAN" and when Seviper was singing. i thought the whole thing with Calvin stealing everyone's pokemon was going to be the main plot line for this fic, but now i guess it's gonna be about... CHRIS SUEING MCDONALDS FOR COCAIN IN HIS HAPPY MEAL! *snicker* anyway, ill cya later!

[Drade130]

OMG CHRIS!!! YOU ARE MY HERO!! Seriously I knew you couldnt stay away from this series, I know these things. Im so glad its back. Poor Chris, getting high. I couldnt stop laughing when Seviper began singing. Visions popped all about my head. I cant wait for the next chapter!

[Chris 2.1]

Dragonfree: At first, it was going to be, but I found it hard to keep this going, especially when the fic seems to now go through Chris' highs and lows of going through 'young adult' life. It does feature many things i would never normally put in a fic, but it is designed to cycle through life and how harsh it can be.

Oh, and Krystal and Adam isn't the only coupling going on...


Raichu: Lol i'm so glad you enjoyed it! Hehe. Chris does try getting a girl as the fic progresses, and as you'll see he tries overcomplicated it! Lol!


Powarun: Well McDonalds make a lot of money, you grant me that. Their profits went into getting drugs which will have the addictive effect and result in more customers. *sigh* and people thought kids were in it for the toys...

Look, you may want to hit a girl if she turns you down, but I'm not like that. How can that help? If I get turned down I accept it, I become friendlier with the girl and soon we get on better than before. It's a civil way to do things...


Ultra_Poke2000: Hehe, yea. Well Calvin will probably have more of a part in the fanfic, but the whole of this is literally Catching up with Chris: he's going to go through lots of things in life that you'll all be able to see!


Teddiursa: Wow i'm so pleased you like it! It was fun to write that, and the whole fanfic, to be honest. It's serious and fun!



Chapter four's actually going quite well so far. I should have it done in a few days, I think. I'm planning a very adult-themed part for the fic, which I hope you enjoy.....

[Powarun]

No, I meant jumping on Adam, even though that may disgust Krystal, he should let his emotions out.

Hm, nice theory about adding drugs to Mcdonalds food, but I don't think it is relavant, humans are almost automatcically brought to fattening food. Becase fatty foods are comforting in a way. But like Coke, Mcdonalds do have a mystery ingrediant to their food, maybe it is added to the oil? I read a book on scams like your example in this story and it seems relavant. I just have a question, if Chris sued the Mcdonalds, couldn't Mc Donald's hire lawyeres, or brive Chris out of sueing?

Oh, and what is in the Happy Meals in England, here we have The Haunted Mansion toys.

[DannyBoy]

Well over my break I started reading this and I just finished chapter three. I must say this is very good. Lewis is my fav character in this, he seems to be the dopey funny one. I like how you have a wide variety ok pokemon in this. It makes it more interesting to see all these different kinds and they all got interesting personalitys. Also all the characters seem to have a good personality and you stick to it. Also in chapter three I thought the beginning was funny and I liked that. Also the battle was good. I def. will keep reading this! Keep it up!

[Chris 2.1]

Powarun: Oh, Lewis tells Krystal, all right.....hehe. Also, at the moment our Happy Meal toys are Brother Bear cuddlies, which is nice and suiting ^^

Xtina: Can I call you this? A short version ^^ Well I've seen you on the boards; you're a very devoted reader, and you seem to be a good author yourself - i loved house of hush! Well I'm thoroughly enjoyed to have got a new reader...have you read the opriginals in the archive? They're my other works and although much different to this fic, star Chris and Krystal. Anyway, cheers for the reply!


Chapter 4 is going well; I'll probably post it in a week at the least. It's a titanic battle as you'll find, and even more hilarious chunks of meaty goodness.

nearly XMAS!

--Chris' Christmas--

What's Santa Claus getting you for Christmas this year?
OR
Do you NOT celebrate Christmas?

[Dragonfree]

Santa Claus isn't getting me anything for Christmas because we have no Santa over here. On the other hand, we've got thirteen guys who used to steal food and slam people's doors, but then someone got them mixed up with Santa and they now wear his clothes and pur presents in kids' shoes when they arrive in town. They arrive one a day, from the twelfth to the twenty-fourth, meaning thirteen little presents from the thirteen-little-santa-guys, but no big ones.

Also, the present day for us is Christmas eve. Mwahaha. I'm getting my presents early.

[Powarun]

Santa, is going to get me, a watch with a blue flame animation, and a class ring. Curse my mom for odering my class ring, before I could maek up my mind between that, and a new gamecube with four games.

But its a good thing to have brothers, he he he, they are gettign an Xbox, and plenty of games for Gamebue and Xbox, with my recomindations, I will have a merry christmas.

How about you Chris? about 200 pounds in Mcdonald food, or a lawsuit from Mcdonalds? I like your sig though, very helpful.

[DannyBoy]

Yea you can call me that. A lot of the people here call me Xtina. Thanks for the comments but you to are a good writer and reader. If you liked House of House I hope you like the sequal. I just finshed it yesturday but I wont post it for a while, got to read over it and its long. What is Santa getting me? Usually money, a new chair for my desk, cd's, minutes for my phone...hopefully good stuff! I am going to print the two storys so I can read them when i am at places. I bet it will help me understand things more. Again, cant wait for your next chapter!

[CharizardILG27]

Pheew I finished all of it so far! And I must say, i could definatly tell an improvment as the chapters went on. This series is great! I really liked chapter 3 with the McDonalds thing, *snicker*

Anyways, keep it up, and you got yourself a new reader

EDIT: Christmas, whats Christmas?

No actually, what i want for Christmas is...

-new baseball bat
-new bike
-pc games
-cds
-dvds

i guess thats all

[Drade130]

I tell you right now, I won't be asking for one of those play McDonald food things that my neice has! Hopefully Santa will get me a guitar, so I can follow my dream...well that was cheesy.

[War Raichu]

I asked Santy Claus for Game Boy Player (RuSa on the TV!), The Simpsons: Hit & Run (WOO HOO!), another Memory Card 251 (now in a smaller, easier-to-break-into package ; also, free labels!), and Scary Movie 1 & 2 (FUNNIEST. MOVIES. EVER!)

[Chris 2.1]

Dragonfree: Cool...where do you live again? I'm sure it was somewhere far away! That sounds really cool 0_0!


Powarun: Lol well I'm getting a new cymbal for my drumkit, actually, and an MP3 player. It's my birthday on January 3rd, so i'll get some Gc games then!


Xtina: Lol you typed house of house :p sorry, that was just funny to read ^^
Great idea, printing the fics off. LOL i'd laugh if people requested a copy themselves and I became a famous author at 14 :p
Looking forward to HOH2!


Charizard: Hey! WOW, another new reader! ^^ Thanks for reading this, and I'm glad the McDonalds incident has lured you in! Expect more gags soon!


Teddy: Lol yea, I've seen those McFlurry makers...hehe. Guitar? Dream? Cheese? Sounds like a ruddy good Christmas to me ^^

Rai: Nice choices mate! I like S:H&R it's good good fun! My Memory Card 251 has all 14 GC game's data on, it's brilliant! LOL yea, SM2 is really good, I love the butler with the gammy hand ^^





Ch4 completed, Ch5 just beginning. I'll post 4 in a couple of days time, folks.

[Dragonfree]

Iceland. It's not that far away. If you put another Britain's southeast corner at the real Britain's northwest corner, it would probably manage to tickle Iceland's east coast. If you want more details, check a map. It's a pretty interesting country. Besides having thirteen Santas, it used to be believed that it had the enterance to Hell in one of the volcanoes. Sounds nice, doesn't it?

I don't really know why it's all on Christmas eve, but it's just like that, the Christmas dinner and presents and Christmas cards and all that is on Christmas eve. On Christmas day, you just sleep after having to read all your Christmas cards and start the nice new books and video games you got all night. Oh, and maybe go to Grandma's and hear a lot of "Wow, you've grown so much" from fellow family members. But we're not doing that because everyone in the family appears to have either moved to Sweden or Denmark or went to visit the ones that moved there.
