All Dogs go to Heaven: The Charlie Chronicles
Pokemon Jamboree
By: Darkraptor and Ninetalesuk
(Author's note: This story wouldn't have been possible without the help of Ninetalesuk. I thank you, so I'm giving you credit as well).
It was over a week and a half since Ninetales learned about having a sister. He and the others looked over the city since it began glowing faintly red. By New Years, Ninetales couldn't celebrate it, knowing where she was and if she was near. Somehow, he passed by an old mansion that gave him a strange feeling, but he didn't dare enter it… at least not when he was with Eevee. Two days later...
"Guardian Angel Joan, Attack!" said Angel Charlie as a hologram of Guardian Angel Joan attacks Ninetales' defending Elemental Hero Clayman, "That was your last defense, Ninetales. Now, Guardian Angel Joan gives me life points equal to Clayman's attack".
"OK," said Ninetales, "You done?"
"I place two face downs, and I'll call it a turn".
"OK," said Ninetales as he draws a card, "I play the Spell card, Heavy Storm".
"You activated my trap card: Kozacky's Self Destruct!"smiled Angel Charlie as he revealed his face down, "The one who destroys this face down gets a 1000 points of damage!"
"No, I won't…" Ninetales places a card down, "Quick-Play Spell, Ring of Defense... protects me from getting damage from Trap cards".
"Nice try, but that little card is going down, GO Magic Jammer! I get rid of one card and your spell card's negated and destroyed!"
"Aww…" Angel Charlie's trap explodes on Ninetales, "I've only got 300 LP left".
"Next turn, your gone".
Ninetales draws a card. "I play Pot of Avarice... I send 5 monsters back to my deck and draw two more cards"
"Ok, go ahead. What monster can you summon with only one monster left on your side and two Hysteric Fairies and Guardian Angel Joan on mine?"
"I have 300... and you have... 3200..."
"Yeah…"
"I play Pot of Greed, two more cards drawn"
Angel Charlie looked at Ninetales with a confused stare, What's he playing at, unless…
"I activate the spell card, E - Emergency Call!"
"That same card? Isn't that what you used on Flo... Wait!"
"I add Elemental Hero Neos to my hand and I summon him to the field by Necroshade's effect".
"Necroshade? Since when did you summon him?"
"Necroshade was in my graveyard when I used Graceful Charity at the start!"
"And now you're using the effect? Clever…"
"Next... Neo Space!" Ninetales placed a spell card on the Field Space. The small table that contained Angel Charlie and Ninetales' monsters got surrounded in a space-like atmosphere, "And finally... the Equip Spell, Neos Force... increases Neos' ATK by 800!"
"Neo's is up to 3300!"
"Nope... 3800 because of Neo Space"
"Well, I didn't know, since you just used this card first on me".
"Now... Neos shall destroy your Guardian Angel and win this Duel for me".
"Even if you did destroy her, I would still be in this duel"
"Neos Force carries over the deadly ability of Flame Wingman and Shining Flare Wingman... deals damage to your LP equal to the destroyed monster's ATK points!"
"Oh great…"
Ninetales grins, "Game over, Chucky boy".
Angel Charlie watches as he sees his Guardian Angel Joan being destroyed and his life points reaching 0, "Good game Ninetales. You beat me, Sashy, Itchy, and Flo, but what about Bess?"
"I won against her too... Card Destruction... Heavy Storm... Magic Jammer…"
"You only got lucky Fox boy," said Angel Bess, "If it wasn't for Card Destruction, sending three of my Exodia pieces; Heavy Storm destroying Destiny Board; and Magic Jammer to negate Final Countdown".
"At least I didn't destroy your LP... you lost by not able to draw cards"
"True, but wait until next time".
Ninetales smiles as he puts his cards away, Eevee jumping for joy.
"Can I play somebody, please?!" said Eevee.
"Maybe later," said Ninetales, putting his deck away.
"Or another time," said Shaina, "All we've been doing is going up and down the city and dueling in the evening".
"What's wrong with that?" asked Flareon.
"We're looking for a Ninetales, but no luck," said Charleon.
Flareon looked at Charleon, "I thought it was a Vulpix?"
"It's possible that she could have evolved," said Jolteon.
Ninetales shook his head, "No, she hasn't".
"How do you know?"
"It's…" Ninetales placed his paw on his chest, "A feeling that I've got"
"Well," said Gerta from behind the counter, "You are twins after all".
"True," said Angel Charlie, "Remember how you came back and fainted to see double of almost everyone".
"Not everyone, Chuck. Just seeing two Charlies was bad enough, especially how one of them is always getting himself into trouble".
"That's the truth," said Itchy, who glanced at Ninetales, "Listen, buddy, we all searched throughout the city with the piece of the card you gave us, but no luck".
"We're exhausted," said Bess, lying down next to Itchy, "And I'm usually fit".
"Tell me about it," said Angel Bess, lying down next to Angel Itchy, "Plus, there was no hide or hair of Belladonna or ShadowMaster around. Weird huh. We figured that at least one of us were bound to run into either of them or Sultrie, Heaven Forbid, or TweedleDee or TweedleDum".
"I know," said Angel Charlie, "It was quiet since the Leech incident... wonder what's up with them?"
"Belladonna," said Ninetales, snapping his fingers, "Of course, she's NOT in the city…"
"HOLD ON THERE!" interrupted Charlie, "First of all, we're not going out on another wild goose chase. We're done for now".
"Charlie... my lost sister isn't in the city, she's with Belladonna!"
"But then," stated Angel Charlie, "Where are we going to find her?!? I mean, Belladonna only appears when we don't want her around, and that's usually most of the times".
Ninetales gave up arguing, "I don't know…" Saying that, he got up and leaves the Café.
"Poor fox. Knowing he has a sister and can't even help her," Angel Sasha walks up to him, "I just wish there was any way I could help him even more, but I can't track down Belladonna, just an elf and now," Charlie placed his paw on his emblem, "It only vibrates when his sister is nearby".
"Seems kinda strange to find out that Ninetales has a sister," said Eevee.
"Let's just hope she isn't like Ninetales, good or evil," said Flareon, "Good, she could be after us like Ninetales does when he's mad; evil, same thing, but maybe more Necro-Ninetales style…"
Sasha shoved an apple into Flareon's mouth, "Quiet, idiot".
"I'll go talk to him," said Shaina, walking after Ninetales.
"What he needs is to get rid of that stress," said Angel Charlie, thinking, "Hmm…And maybe I know how. Flo, remember our hike through the woods?"
While Angel Charlie and the others discuss about something, Shaina finds Ninetales staring at the half moon.
"Ninetales?" asks Shaina as she approached Ninetales. She saw that Ninetales looked deep in thought, "Ninetales, I know finding your sister is important, but you need to calm down from this. I know how you'd feel if I knew that Sasha was with Belladonna, but don't let doubt eat you away.
"I... know…" slowly said Ninetales. Shaina slowly nuzzled him.
"We'll find her, we will".
Ninetales smiled as he nuzzled her back, "Thank you, Shaina... for everything".
"But right now, let's take a three day break from it," came Angel Sasha's voice.
"Huh?!" said Ninetales as he twirls around and sees Angel Sasha smiling at them.
"We're talking about going on a small camping trip, for the weekend. It'll do you all good from always fighting evil. Afterwards, we'll think of what we can do to find Belladonna and rescue your sister".
"Okay," said Ninetales, smiling, "I think that would be good".
"Excuse me," politely said Eevee as he walked past the setters and Ninetales, holding a piece of paper: a letter.
"What is it, Eevee?" asked Angel Sasha.
"Gonna send this to the North Pole," responded Eevee.
Shaina giggled, "Glad to see nothing has changed much".
"Sure... Why?" asked Angel Sasha, confused, "Christmas is over".
"It's not my wish list I'm sending," said Eevee, "I sent that yesterday. This one is to invite Rudolph and his friends along on our outing".
"Oh sure," said Ninetales, "What have you wrote? Dear Santa, can you tell Rudolph that he has his friends are invited to join us on a camping trip?"
"Well…" said Eevee, blushing a deep red. Ninetales slapped his forehead and the two girls giggled.
Ninetales' Home
Everyone was getting ready to leave to the forest nearby San Francisco, but there were a few problems in getting ready… three problems to be exact.
"Ready, Ninetales?" asked Angel Charlie, getting his backpack on.
"I am," said Flareon, his pack a little bulging. Angel Charlie went to him and took out a box-shaped console from Flareon's pack..
"Flareon, you're not taking the GameCube or any other system with you".
Flareon smiled sheepishly as Ninetales grabbed a flat console having the words PS2 inscribed.
"Same goes for the PS2," said Ninetales, putting the console away.
"But," complained Flareon, "You were starting to enjoy Kingdom Hearts 2"
Ninetales sighed, "Anything to keep me calm... from you five. Speaking of which, how come you guys haven't been doing your usual early morning playing?"
"We still are," said Flareon.
"Then why don't I hear you anymore?"
"That was my doing," said Angel Charlie, "Sashy and I got tired of hearing them shout and play all the time, so I cast an anti-sound spell, making a bubble become wrapped around their room, drowning the noise so only they could hear themselves shout like little monkeys".
"That's good," said Ninetales, looking around the room, "Um, where's Eevee?"
"Outside," replied Jolteon, "Saying hello to Rudolph".
"You sure it isn't a poster he's speaking to?"
"If it is, that might explain why Rudolph isn't talking or moving much".
As Ninetales zipped up his backpack, he heard a voice coming into the apartment, "And here's Ninetales' house," said Angel Sasha, leading two reindeer and Eevee into the place, "Home to him, Eevee, Charleon, and the new Three Stooges".
Ninetales rubbed his eyes, "Okay… How?"
"We flew, of course," replied Zoey to a stunned Ninetales.
"I mean, how did you get the message? The point I was trying to make to Eevee earlier was that it would take a long time for that letter to come through".
Angel Charlie coughed and rolled his eyes, "Yeah, I wonder how".
Ninetales stared at him, "Somehow, I'm glad I've beaten you," he sighs, "So, you and Rudolph came?"
"Yep," said Zoey, "And Slyly and Leonard too. Slyly said only because he wanted to go to a warmer climate for a while," she bends over to Ninetales' ear and whispers, "I think it's because he doesn't want to be left behind".
"Right," said Ninetales, "One question".
"What is it?"
"Who is Slyly and Leonard?"
Just then, someone tugs on Ninetales' fur. Ninetales bends his head down and sees a small white fox looking at him".
"I'm Slyly," said the white fox, "Pleasure meeting another white fox, even if he does have nine tails".
Ninetales backs off a bit and bumps into something soft. Looking up, he sees a big polar bear smiling at him and taking his winter cap off.
"Hi," said the polar bear, "I'm Leonard. It's nice to meet you un-possessed".
Ninetales drops his lower jaw slightly, "Oh... my.…" he shakes head, "You've brought a polar bear here?! HOW!? "
Angel Charlie coughed and rolled his eyes again, "Who knows".
"Oh, brother. Right, I'm Ninetales"
"Also known as Nemesis," muttered Jolteon.
"Glad you came for Jolteon's funeral," said Ninetales, glaring at Jolteon.
"Shutting up".
Angel Charlie bends his head down to Eevee, "Um…Nemesis?"
"His nickname," chuckled Eevee, "He sounds and acts like the Project Nemesis from…"
"Resident Evil 3?"
"You played it?"
"Defeated it, hard mode".
"Moving on," said Ninetales.
"Well," said Angel Sasha, "If everyone's ready, let's head over to the café"
Angel Charlie smiled, "You and the others go, I'll catch up. I just need to… get some last-minute items", with that, he heads towards his 'temporary' room.
"O…kay…" said Angel Sasha, little confused, "Now, let's move on out".
"Hold on," said Ninetales as he pops into his room for a second.
"Ooh," grunts Eevee, "Wonder what's he's going?"
"Come on," said Charleon as he dragged Eevee out with the others.
Unknown to everyone, Angel Charlie waited until everyone left, then, placing his paw on his emblem, he withdrew the gold necklace with the emerald in the middle. Angel Charlie stared at his reflection on the emerald and sighed, "Maybe it's time for me and Sasha to take our relationship to the next level". Meanwhile, Ninetales was in his room, getting a similar item like Angel Charlie's, but it was a silver collar with a ruby, emerald and sapphire in the middle.
"You've done so much for me, Shaina," said Ninetales to himself, "Maybe it's time". Ninetales looked around and sees his backpack, "Now, to hide it," he stuffs it into the backpack, "I need this to be a surprise". Ninetales smiled as he threw his backpack over his shoulder, "Thank you, mom, dad, for helping me with this gift".
Angel Charlie walked out of the room, hiding the necklace in his emblem again. As he was about to head out the door, he heard a door slam upstairs.
"Hello?" called out Angel Charlie, "Anyone still up there?"
"Your talking to me?" said Ninetales as he came down the stairs.
"Yeah.. What are you still here? I thought you left with the others?"
"No, not yet, but, I'm ready now. Let's go".
Angel Charlie and Ninetales lock the door and head together to the Flea Bite Café, both smirking of how they were going to present their gifts to their loved ones.
Flea Bite Cafe
"What took you two so long?" said Angel Sasha as Angel Charlie and Ninetales both walked into the café, packs on their backs.
"Did you both have to go to the bathroom at the same time?" joked Shaina.
"No," said Angel Charlie, "Just grabbing a last minute item".
"And I just had to do some last minute packing," said Ninetaels, "Now, let's go. I would say piece and quiet here we come, but we've got five reasons why we won't have 'em".
"What five reasons?" asked Eevee on top of Rudolph's back.
"Eevee, Charleon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon," counted Ninetales.
"Oh…"
"Everyone, group together," said Angel Charlie, "This is a pretty complicated spell, but I can do it". He creates a blue aura that surrounded the group, which then turned into an orb. The orb speeds away towards the woods.
The gang's going to take a break from all of this, but what's going to happen when they get there? Let's find out in the next chapter...
