Ah what a happy, sunny, beautiful day in Sunyshore City! Everyone was waking up with smiles on their faces and morning wood in their undies. It was the perfect day for taking a stroll on the beach, working in the garden, or sleeping until noon, which everyone's favorite gym leader decided to do. Volkner's alarm had gone off at 8 that morning but the gym leader refused to leave his bed.
"No. Not another day of this shit," he thought to himself as he heard Lil' Wayne's majestic voice expelling from the radio, waking him up. He simply just unplugged the radio called in sick, and continued his slumber. What the electric trainer didn't realize, however, was the fact that his best friend since childhood saw the whole thing unfold. Flint was hiding under Volkner's bed. He wanted to surprise Volkner in the morning since the leader had been in a worse mood than usual the day before. Flint honestly thought that his presence would cheer Volkner up. What a naïve man. As soon as Mr. Fro saw his friend heading for the phone, he knew that Volkie-poo was calling in. Flint's plans were ruined. His surprise wouldn't work out now that Volkner was simply going back to bed! The flip flop clad man was so upset that he just wanted to storm out of Volker's house. There was only one problem. The fact that Volkner was awake for a short period of time meant that he wasn't in as deep of a sleep as when Flint snuck in using the key that was hidden behind the cement Bidoof statue that was in front of his friend's house. Flint was downright screwed. Volkner was a heavy sleeper, but not after he had been up for a few minutes. Flint briefly remembered that one sleepover they had that one time. Never again would he try to sneak around after Volkner received his REM sleep. Never. Flint just sighed and lied under his buddy's bed for what seemed like hours. The Elite 4 member started to think the obvious.
"It's a real shame that Volk's sick," Flint thought to himself. Though he was upset about his ruined plans, he couldn't help but to feel bad for his friend that he must have worked himself to the point of being ill. The clock struck noon and Flint finally heard Volkner moving around restlessly in his bed. He was about to get out meaning Flint could make a run for it soon. He thought about making Volkner some tea before he departed, but then he saw it. Volkner leaped out of bed with the energy of 1,000,000 Jolteons. Volkner was completely well; he just didn't want to go to work that day. Flint was absolutely infuriated! Being a member of the Elite 4, he took fake call in's to heart. Flint's job was one of the most important things in his life and he couldn't stand seeing someone like Volkner who could care less about working. Suddenly, Flint heard a THUMP! And he noticed that Volkner dropped his phone beside the bed.
"OH NO! HE'S GONNA PICK IT UP AND SEE ME HIDING HERE!" Flint silently freaked out. He had to collect himself before his friend noticed him convulsing under the bed. As Volkner bent down, he glanced under his bed and his eyes met with Flint's.
"REAL EYES REALIZE REAL LIES!" Flint blurted out before sinking his teeth into Volker's ankle and making his escape.
