"(Tag! You're it!)" Pachirisu shouted before bolting off in the other direction. A playful Pikachu followed him while Piplup observed in the bushes next to them.
It had been another regular day for the gang. Travelling, eating, sleeping, training... and now it was time for the next part of their routine.
Piplup didn't enjoy much of the day, but he found himself loving the goofy part of the day. The time where all the Pokemon could play together.
As much as he loved playing with all of the other Pokemon, his pride got in the way sometimes. He could act a little too competitive in games of tag, and would sometimes lash out in anger. Mostly, it was against Pikachu, since he saw him as a sort of rival, and that he always thought that Pikachu was not playing fairly.
He saw Happiny slowly walk past him, and Pachirisu came charging towards the baby Pokemon. Once he was close enough, he slammed his tail into the baby Pokemon, which sent her flying.
"(Tag! You're it!)" Pachirisu shouted, before bolting off in the opposite direction again. Pikachu, who just arrived at the scene, gasped loudly after seeing the baby Pokemon in the air.
"(Don't worry Happiny! I got you!)" The mouse charged towards her with a Quick Attack. Before the baby Pokemon hit the ground, Pikachu stopped directly underneath her so that she would land safely.
Happiny landed on Pikachu's back, which caused a loud thud. He carefully lifted himself back onto his feet, though not before letting the baby Pokemon get off his back.
"(Are you okay Happiny?)" Pikachu asked, concerned.
"(I'm just fine!)" Happiny happily responded, before tapping his shoulder. "(You're it!)" She shouted happily, before slowly running away. The smile returned on Pikachu's face as he slowly chased after her.
Though they were the least of Piplup's concerns right now.
The penguin glared at the direction that the electric squirrel had scurried off to. He clenched his flipper and proceeded to follow their footsteps, finally moving from his hiding spot.
Pachirisu arrived at the campsite where their Trainers had set up. It was a decent camping spot. A couple of logs, some bushes, and they were in the middle of a forest, so there were lots of trees.
Buizel emerged from one of the bushes surrounding the campsite, Buneary jumped down from one of the trees branches, and Turtwig appeared from behind one of the logs.
"(You managed to tag someone else?)" Buizel asked while smirking. Pachirisu responded with a nod. "(Good. Who did you tag?)"
"(I tagged Happeny!)" Pachirisu cheered happily. The three Pokemon exchanged concerned looks, since they knew how reckless Pachirisu could be around the baby Pokemon.
"(You didn't do anything rough to her, did you?)" Buneary asked the squirrel. He thought about it for a moment before tilting his head.
"(I don't think so.)" Pachirisu smiled widely. "(Besides! Happeny is a strong little baby anyways.)"
Turtwig sighed loudly. "(It's Happiny. Not Happeny.)"
A confused look spread on Pachirusu's face. "(What's the difference?)"
"(ugh...)"
Before they could continue their conversation, a dark figure emerged from the forest and slowly marched towards them.
An annoyed hiss came from the approaching figure, which startled Pachirisu, and prompted Buizel and Buneary to take a battle stance.
The figure's colour turned blue as the sunlight managed to find its way through the many leaves on the trees and onto the Pokemon.
The tension grew less intense because at this point, because they were just watching Piplup dramatically walk up to them. Buneary and Turtwig stood there, confused while Buizel started chuckling a little.
Pachirisu, however, was shivering in fear. He had closed his eyes and kept them shut, not wanting to look at the supposed danger.
He knew curiosity would get the better of him though.
He opened his eyes to peek at the danger to see Piplup standing right in front of him, which lead to the squirrel letting out an ear-destroying screech.
"(Ack! My ears!)" Buizel shouted in pain, rubbing his ears after Pachirisu finished screeching. The other Pokemon were also in some pain, while Buneary practically fainted.
Piplup suddenly grabbed Pachirisu's paw and lifted him up. "(I've had enough of this!)" The squirrel gasped and started squirming.
"(No! No! I'm so-so-so-so-so-so-so-so-soooo sorry!)" He spoke very quickly. "(I promise I won't ever do it again!)"
Piplup eyes closed slightly and a grin appeared on his face. "(You promise you won't do it ever again?)" He said in a slow, deep voice.
"(Yes! I swear! I won't destroy your hearing ever again!)" Pachirisu cried.
"(NO!)" Piplup yelled before gritting his teeth. He let go of Pachirisu and groaned loudly. "(I meant, do you promise to not hurt Happiny again?)" He said, careful to not lose his composure.
The penguins words had made the other Pokemon give Pachirisu some suspecting looks. The squirrel had a faint grin on his face and started looking around sheepishly.
"(Yeah, about that, umm...)" Pachirisu nervously muttered as he rolled his eyes everywhere so that he didn't have to look at any of the Pokemon.
It didn't feel like something Piplup would normally do, but he felt as if he had no other choice at this point. He grabbed Pachirisu by the tail and dragged them into the woods.
"(You've had too many chances. It's time I teach you how to behave around children.)"
To be continued...
Surprise! Another fic! Yeah, I know I've been publishing a few fics recently, but I wanted to try and write about other Pokemon other than Pikachu and Buneary, so I decided to see what other Pokemon might be interesting to write about. That's where I found Pachirisu and Piplup! So yeah, hope you enjoy this fun little story that I made.
The chapters are probably going to be around a thousand words each since this is something I'll write chapters for whenever I'm bored. So don't expect lengthy chapters!
Oh yeah, I haven't forgotten. I promise, this time I'll update Reversal of Roles next. I've got the whole thing planned and ready to go!
Here's some funny mistakes I made!
Mistake 1 - The other Pokemon were also in some pain, while Buneary practically painted.
(It seems that Buneary likes to paint while having her ears blown out. That is... interesting.)
Mistake 2 - "(NO!)" Piplup yelled beforing grit his teeth.
(This is some prime example of rushing your sentences. I was writing 'before' and thought I was writing 'grit' since I was typing so quickly.)
That's all for now! Stay tuned!
