DISCLAIMER: I do not own Pokemon, Calem, Trevor, or the canon characters. They are property of Nintendo. I do, however, own some of the characters, such as Trevor's little sis Lila.
This takes place four weeks before the start of my fic Pokemon X and Y: Dawn of a New Era.
This story is rated T for language. It is not for those under the age of 13.
I got this idea when I found Trevor's house in Lumiose City. It came up that Trevor's parents had abandoned their kids just so they could go train. I think that was very irresponsible of them. You might have a differing opinion, but this is what I think. I decided to have a little fanwank about this.
THE ESTATE OF NIBIRU-MUL PRESENTS
PARENTAL ABANDONMENT
PART I
Calem was really liking it in Vaniville Town. He enjoyed playing with Serena, Shauna, and Tierno, as well as Trevor whenever he stopped by. But he especially liked playing with Serena, who he was really falling in love with.
Right now, Calem was on his bed, looking at the photos he and Serena took together while they were at the little amusement park in Kiloude City four days ago. He was wearing a pink shirt over a striped shirt and red skinny jeans - he had gotten this nice combo on a trip to Laverre City. He had a doll that looked just like him by his side. This doll's name was Cal, and Serena made it for him. Calem's pet Spheal Snowflake was near the bed.
"Aren't these pictures nice, Cal?" said Calem. "Serena and I had a lot of fun. We went on the merry-go-round and the teacups. But my favorite ride was the Ferris wheel. We could see Vaniville Town from the top. They also had the most delicious pizza. And I know you liked the kiddie section with the Magcargo on a spring."
Snowflake climbed onto Calem's bed to look at the pictures.
"You can have a look too," said Calem.
Later, the doorbell rang. Calem's father Pierre went to get his son.
"Calem," said Pierre, "Serena and Trevor are at the door!"
Calem went downstairs to the front door. He opened up and saw Serena and Trevor.
"Hello, guys," said Calem.
"Hi!" said Serena. "Want to come out and play?"
"Of course!" said Calem.
"We're going to the playground," said Trevor.
"I'll be right there," said Calem. "I just have to get some things."
Calem went upstairs and put on his red outdoors cap. His mom Cecilia was bringing Cal out of the room. She gave Cal to her son.
"Thank you," said Calem.
"Have fun at the playground," said Cecilia.
Calem went outside, and Serena and Trevor took him to the playground. The three of them went on the swings.
"I like that shirt," said Serena. "It looks really nice on you."
"Thanks," said Calem. "Mom and Dad bought it for me."
"Pink looks really good on you," said Serena.
"I like pink," said Calem. "It's a nice color."
"Calem's in touch with his feminine side," said Trevor.
Calem blushed.
"Stop it, Trevor," he laughed.
Then Trevor had something to share with Calem that he really liked.
"Calem," said Trevor, "I have some exciting news for you. My big sis said that I could have someone sleep over at my place for two nights. I wanted to take Tierno, but he's visiting his grandparents in Ambrette Town. So I am wondering if it will be okay to take you."
"Me?" asked Calem.
"You've slept at Tierno's house last week," said Trevor. "I think you'd make a good sleepover buddy."
"I don't know..." said Calem. "It's at your house in Lumiose, right? I've never been to your house before."
"It's near Jaune Plaza," said Trevor. "You'll like it."
Calem thought about it for a while.
"Um...okay," he said.
"Good," said Trevor.
"Can I come too?" asked Serena.
"No," said Trevor. "This isn't a coed sleepover. Sorry."
"That's okay," said Serena. She turned to Calem. "Have fun, Calem. But first ask your parents."
When Calem went home, he asked his parents about it.
"You may go," said Cecilia, "but just be careful. This is the first time you've been in the city without family."
"Trevor's parents will protect me," said Calem.
"Um..." said Trevor.
"I'm sure they will," said Pierre. "Calem, what do you want to bring with you?"
"I'll bring Cal with me," said Calem, "and my MP3 player, my Nintendo 3DS, and that nice coloring book that Grandma gave me." He turned to Trevor. "Trevor, you've got crayons, right?"
"I've got all sorts of art supplies," said Trevor.
Calem looked at his parents.
"Honey," said Cecilia, "we'll pack you pajamas and clean clothes."
"I hope you have fun at your sleepover," said Pierre. "And remember, you can call us if you need something. And if you feel that you can't take it anymore, call me or Mom and we'll come and pick you up."
"Okay," said Calem. "I'm going to miss you while I'm at Trevor's. I love you both very much, Mom and Dad!"
"We love you too, Calem," said Cecilia.
Calem hugged his parents. Pierre patted Calem on the head.
While Calem was getting ready, Trevor told them about his parents. Pierre and Cecilia understood, though they wondered how Calem would take it.
That evening, Calem and Trevor arrived in Lumiose City. They went over to an alley in Jaune Plaza. This was the apartment complex where Trevor lived.
When they walked inside, a black woman in a lab coat greeted the pair. She was Trevor's neighbor Irene.
"Hello, Trevor!" said Irene. "Is this your friend?"
"This is Calem," said Trevor. "He's visiting my apartment for a sleepover."
"Hi," said Calem.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Calem," said Irene. "I'm Irene, and I work as an assistant for Professor Sycamore. I hope you have fun at your sleepover!"
Trevor brought Calem inside his apartment. There were two girls waiting - a somewhat tall girl with dark blonde hair with a ponytail in a purple shirt and skirt and a smaller girl with red hair in braids and a pink dress.
"Are these your sisters?" asked Calem.
"Yes," said Trevor. "Anna's eighteen, and Lila's eight."
The two girls came up to Calem.
"I'm Trevor's big sis Anna," said the older girl.
"And I'm Trevor's little sis Lila," said the younger girl.
"Nice to meet you," said Calem.
"This is Calem," said Trevor, "the boy I've been telling you about! We're having a sleepover."
"We're going to have fun," said Lila.
"I'm sure we will," said Calem.
Calem and Trevor went to Trevor's room.
"What do you want to do first?" Trevor asked Calem.
"Want to play some video games on my TV?" asked Trevor.
"Okay," said Calem.
Calem and Trevor went to play video games. Calem was a bit taken aback that Trevor had some games that he thought were too violent, but he dealt with it. He asked Trevor to play the less violent ones. The two decided to play a Mario Kart game. The two had a lot of fun, but Trevor noticed that Calem won almost every time.
"Aw, shit!" said Trevor. "You're a better player than I am!"
"I guess I am," said Calem, "but you tried your best."
"Want to get some food?" asked Trevor. "You can look through this list of restaurants!"
Trevor handed Calem a list of restaurants that his parents had. Calem saw one that he really liked.
"How about the Couscous Palace?" asked Calem. "They have take-out."
"Are you sure?" asked Trevor. "Moroccan isn't one of my favorites."
"It's one of my favorites," said Calem.
"Well...you are the guest..." said Trevor. "Okay. I'll dial their number after we order."
Calem and Trevor ordered a good deal of food from the Couscous Palace. Calem ordered chicken, pastilla, leems, bread, and for dessert, sfenj. Trevor ordered shakshouka. Both ordered lots of couscous, obviously. While Trevor was eating, he noticed how hot the food was.
"Ow!" said Trevor. "I burnt my tongue!" He washed it down with Coca-Cola.
"I think you should be more careful," said Calem.
Trevor saw that Calem was having fun, but in the meantime, he didn't want to tell Calem about his parents having left him and his sisters on a journey. Calem had noticed that there were no parents around. And he didn't want Calem to feel upset. How was he going to tell Calem?
