Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon, I do not own A Little Night Music. Srgeman owns that story. However, as of now, I seem to own Flash the Amphorous, unless srgeman says otherwise.
AN: This story is set in an alternate universe which shines down on Flash, of course. The one person he's had a crush on finally becomes a reality. So follow Flash to see how he views things in another world and see what world he likes better. R & R! Enjoy!
Observing the world, what people and pokemon alike do, I find it to be very entertaining, yet very interesting. To get to know someone, you have to know what they're like. Otherwise, you don't truly know them at all. I have viewed the world, saw what people and pokemon are like. Some I felt joy for, others I pitied. And when I felt the need to share my advice with others, mainly pokemon, I was always there to let myself be known and how I would approach the situation.
And here I sat, parted from the group as always, observing what they do in their daily lives. My attention was first brought to Rush and Wisp, the Mudkip and Vulpix who were sitting together talking about something. I know not of what things they talked about, but I had my suspicions that they were closer than they wanted to admit. Some feet away stood the newly evolved Pikachu, rubbing her paws together, mumbling something. No doubt she was still plotting a way to get Wisp away from Rush. I really enjoyed Rush. He was always happy and no matter how bad a mood someone is in, he's always there to lighten up the mood. Rush I had respect for, for in some ways, he was like me.
I turned my attention over to the next few members of my team, staring at the Aggron and Flygon, Titan and Sharon. Sharon actually surprised me when I visited her village. Who would have known that someone like Sharon could be Empress? Then again, that crack on her head when she was a Trapinch could be the reason why she acted like she did now. I liked Sharon. She was so innocent, the personality that Titan fell in love with, and was never bothered by her biting on his horn or any other part of his body, which she was doing at the moment. And then they had Dex, the Spinarak who is always seen asleep on Titan's chest a lot. How he got in Michael's backpack as an egg is a mystery. And speaking of my trainer, he, Louis, and Lisa were all sitting on the ground, making a sort of triangle angle, though Lisa and Louis were closer to each other than Michael was. In fact, Michael was lying on his back, staring up at the sky. Probably wondering how we would beat Winona.
L3 was behind Louis for once, staring down at him as Louis twirled one of those smokers between his fingers. To be honest, it's been a while since I've seen L3 do anything, aside from the battle we just came back from. I watched as Lisa noticed the thing between Louis's fingers and snatched it from him.
"You agreed to me that you would stop smoking," she said.
"I wasn't smoking it, was I?" Louis asked.
"But you were thinking about it," Lisa said, throwing it on the ground and stomping on it. I noticed that L3's right hand twitched, obviously hurt by seeing that thing being grinded. I chuckled at the reaction before moving on, turning my attention to Shu. He was looking down at his claws. I really didn't know anything about Shu, or Streak for that matter who was just staring up at the sky, smiling happily to himself. I'd have to talk to him sometime. I have a good feeling about him.
I continued my observation by turning my attention to Bane. He was sitting somewhat close to Enfer, Louis's Arcanine who was looking rather depressed about something. Bane was humming a little tune to himself, dancing to it. Bane was an excellent dancer, I'll give him that. Sad thing about it is that no one cared enough to watch him. Well, except for me and Trish, the micro sized Skarmory who's been following us since we freed her from some old woman's house. However, due to some miraculous luck, Louis had caught her, adding her to the team.
I looked back over at Enfer, who still looked depressed. I knew some things about Enfer, but not all. All I knew was that Enfer was a really powerful pokemon, a reborn human, and the mother of the Umbreon who is also a reborn human. Of course, the only ones who don't know are Michael, Louis, and Lisa, since they weren't there to witness the battle, let alone understand why we were battling in the first place.
My gaze continued as I soon spotted Nel, the hyperventilating Skitty who, of course, was hyperventilating even as I speak. Her eyes were wide, as round as the moon and her breathing was rapid and short. One false move out of anything would send the poor thing into a panicky fit. I'm a little surprised that she recovered that fast after being angry at Angela for not telling her she was a reborn human.
Even as I speak, I look up, spotting a single leaf fluttering down in the air towards Nel. Nel is still hyperventilating, looking about her surroundings left, right, and even behind her. Now this would be interesting to watch. The leaf finally fluttered in front of Nel's face. Nel froze at the sight of it, her breathing stopped. I'm sure if a person's eyes could go any wider than they were before, they would pop out and leave them blind. And I'm not all entirely too sure how much more Nel's eyes could widen. In fact, I think I saw them starting to bulge out some.
Finally, after some seconds of silence, Nel let out one loud, ear piercing scream. And by ear piercing, I mean I think that my ear drums broke. In a blink of an eye, Nel was gone from her spot and on top of Louis's head. Everyone else who heard the scream jumped up in surprise, confusion, and alarm, mostly confusion.
"Wha'?" Michael said, looking around confused. "What happened? Who screamed?"
"Not sure," Lisa said, sticking a finger in her ear, trying to get her hearing back. She then turned to Louis and looked at Nel sitting on his head, claws dugged in as Nel sat there, trembling in fear. "Has Nel been on your head long?"
"Dunno," Louis replied with a shrug.
I laughed. The whole thing was hilarious to watch, though the screaming part wasn't at all pleasant. Of course, there was one member of the group I hadn't watched yet. And she was the most interesting of all to watch.
"Fuck that fucking damn Skitty for waking me the fuck up!"
I rest my case. I don't know why I found watching the female Umbreon so interesting. Perhaps it had something to do with how she treated others. Seriously. The way she behaves a lot of the times shows just how much she cares for them deep down on the inside, even if she doesn't know it. Or perhaps it was another reason. I blushed, thinking about why I liked her so much. I was still a Flaafy when I met her. And she was only an Eevee. She was cute. That was all I needed to know to make me feel like she was the one for me. Her constant swearing, though, that kind of was a shocker for me. She may have been cute, but she sure was a bitchy kind of cute. If only she had some kind of feelings back towards me.
I sighed, feeling empty inside. Suddenly, I heard a rustling noise behind me, cheering me right back up. I smiled and said, "You know you're never going to be able to scare me, Trish. Not in a million years. I can hear you."
"Rats," came Trish's voice. "I was so close this time. How do you do it, Flash? How do manage to sneak up on others without making noise? How is it when you train someone else to do it, you know?"
"You can't beat the pro," I said, turning my attention back to the Umbreon who was on the ground again, mumbling to herself. Trish hopped over to me on my left, looking straight at Angela.
"I know how you feel about her," she said. "I can tell by the way you look at her."
"I just don't get her," I said. "I'm a nice enough guy. Why can't she see that?"
"Isn't the answer obvious?" Trish asked me. "She's still in love with the human."
I sighed a huff of annoyance. "I know this is going to sound selfish coming from me, but I don't know what she sees in him. She's a pokemon, he's a human. They can't ever be together in that way. She needs to get over him and move on."
"I couldn't agree any more," someone suddenly said. I looked up to my right and saw a Meowth there, floating in mid-air. I blinked a couple of times, not sure if I was seeing was real.
"Trish," I said. "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" No response. "Trish?" I looked back at Trish who continued staring at Angela. She was frozen solid. I turned my head and looked at my group. They were frozen solid too. I looked back at the floating Meowth, unsure as to why we were the only ones who could move. "Who are you?"
"I'm no one," the Meowth said. "Or I could be someone. I'm not all that really sure myself."
"O.K.," I said slowly. "Why is it that everyone else is frozen while we're still moving?"
"Isn't it obvious?" the Meowth. "It's because I made it that way. I'm already risking a lot revealing myself to you, but I come here with a purpose, Flash."
My eyes widened in surprise. "How do you know who I am?"
"I've been keeping watch over your group," the Meowth said. "I know how much you feel about Angela, so I'm going to give you the chance to experience what it feels like to have those feelings returned to you."
"What?" I asked, surprised. "You can do that?"
"Just one of my many abilities I posess," the Meowth said. "However, I'm leaving the choice up to you. All I can do is offer you the chance to have a better life."
"How do I know this isn't some trap?" I asked.
"Well now that's the question, isn't it?" the Meowth said. "It's all about taking the risk. But, if it makes you happy, you have my word that whenever you need me, I shall be there. I will make sure nothing gravely bad happens, like you dying and stuff. So, what's it going to be? You want to see how life would be if you were treated how you'd like to be treated, or pass up on the best offer of a lifetime?"
I hesitated, staring at the Meowth. I quickly glanced back at Angela and felt my heart tug at me. I always did have feelings for Angela since I met her. It couldn't be all that bad. What was the worst that could happen?
I turned my attention back to the Meowth who was patiently waiting on my answer. I felt my heart beat faster as I thought about Angela and I together, a smile spreading aross my face. "I'll take you up on that offer," I said to him.
"Then it's settled," the Meowth said. With a snap of his fingers, everything turned white.
