Good day everyone. Welcome to your least favourite(sarcasm) ff on this side. Here is chapter 4 of 'That World'. I hope you'll enjoy it.
"Ok so you're Jirachi. Like the legendary. And you talk in my head." Shiro ask Jirachi.
"Yup. Basically it's like this. Though it's a tad bit complicated if you look deep into it." Shiro was sitting on his bed, listening carefully to the legendary pokemon in front of him. Jirachi, the pokemon who is suppose to grant you wishes you ask him. Jirachi was currently flying a little over Shiro, touching every now and then Shiro's long ears.
"But why? Why would you do this? Aren't you suppose to wait until someone found you and grant him a wish?"
"Yeah… no. That's some old shit your talking about. I'm not that super duper happy and good pokemon the books say I am. I actually like to joke around and have fun. Darkrai and Articuno even say I'm a jackass or a little shit, but I know they can't compete with me when it comes to insult or tricks."
"That's great and all but why me out of all the pokemon of the universe? You could have choose anybody but me and that would've probably make no difference for you."
"Indeed but with the others we going at it with pokemon that looked like you so. So I said to myself: why not found another eevee to have fun with? And then I search a bit to found you and install myself into your little head."
"Now that I know who you really are what are you gonna do? I mean, what's gonna happen to my now that I now I have a legendary in my head?"
"Well, now that you know that I'm a legendary." Jirachi said, touching Shiro's nose with one of his small hands. He took a serious voice and cleared his throat. "I'm not sure if you are ready for this."
"What? Am I gonna need to die? Or do I need to give something to you? Like a part of my soul or~."
"Shhhh…I fear it is far more horrible than this."
"What is it? Don't make me wait like this."
"You, you'll have to live with me for at least 30 years." For 30 seconds none of the Pokemon in the room said a thing, a heavy silence filling the room. Out of the blue, Jirachi started to laugh like there was no tomorrow. A small stream of tears moving on his cheeks and falling on the floor. "Gotcha! You should see your face. You were all serious and now you look so confused. Did you really thought I would say something like: you need to give part of your soul? Hahaha you little fur ball, you're so clueless and that's what I like about you."
"So you mean this was all a joke?"
"Yup. I do this just for fun, no need to freak out. Geez I'm no monster."
"So you tricked me? You little shit."
"That doesn't change the fact that I'm a legendary and could kill you if I wanted. Now I think you should go to sleep it's getting really late and you got school tomorrow."
"How do you expect me to sleep with this in the head!"
"Like this." Jirachi placed his small right hand on Shiro's forehead, the eevee instantly felt asleep on his bed. Jirachi placed his so he would wake up like normal and that nothing looked out of the ordinary. "Now I' hungry. Let's see what they got in the refrigerator for lunch." He left Shiro's bedroom and headed toward the kitchen in search of a lunch.
The next morning
"Uuuhhrr… What a weird dream." Shiro woke up with a small headache this morning. Feeling like someone had took his big ears and attached them him his sleep. As a matter of fact his ears were, for some reasons, standing straight up. Despite his attempts to move them they remained in place. "What his happening?"
"You're surprised? I had a little fun with your ears this night. Sorry, I just could resist the urge to ruined your cute sleeping face."
"What did you do?"
"Oh, I simply attached your ears together with an elastic. If you force enough you should be able to remove it and free your ears."
"Why would you do such things to me?" Said Shiro as he moved in different directions to try to take of the rubbery band that was restraining his ears movements. After multiple tries he finally managed to get the thing off him.
"I'm so bored. I needed something to do while you were sleeping, so I did this."
"That's not really funny if you ask me."
"You said it needed to be funny for you? For me it's cool as long as entertain myself."
"I'm a go grab breakfast if you don't mind."
"Not at all."
"Good."
Shiro left his room lazily, his steps slow and heavy. He wasn't in a hurry and could use more time to wake up. Once downstairs he noticed his mom wasn't up yet, something rare but happening from time to time. He entered the kitchen, careful not to make too much sound to wake Matilde. During his time at Sarah's house she took the time to clean all the mess he'd done in the morning, thanks to this he now had a week of dishes to wash to make up for it. This time he carefully chosen his morning berry -a citrus this time- before actually eating it. The berry was a bit sour but a sugary taste was still present nonetheless.
"Oh and I might say it now so you are informed but I talked to your mom this night."
"WHAT? Why did you show yourself like this? She could've freak out and call the police or I dunno."
"Calm down. She was asleep when I talked to her. I'm not dumb you know. I made sure she wouldn't remember me this morning so no sweat."
"Fewww." Shiro sighed, washing his paw in the sink.
"But I did left something on her before I left."
"What is it this time?"
"I kinda tied her ribbons to her paws then tied her paws together with the rest of the ribbons. But don't worry she should be like this for five minutes before she is able to run."
"Why did you that? She'll think it's me who did that."
Fuck. I didn't think about that. Well good luck dealing with that."
"You fucking jerk! I'm so gonna get killed because of you!You really gonna let me down like this?"
"Well yeah isn't it obvious?"
"Fuck off."
Shiro quickly grabbed his bag and walked toward the school. He didn't to stay to close to his mom when she would finally woke up and find herself wrapped up in her own ribbons. The air was rather hot this morning and the sun was already at his fully force, the thick fur of Shiro didn't help to cool down his body and by the time he was in front of the school he was already panting softly.
He was about to turned into the school yard but bumped into someone instead. He landed on his butt, essentially sitting down on the concrete. "I'm sorry. I didn't see you." Shiro said before taking a good look at the Pokemon he'd bumped into.
"Yeah, you better be sorry. Cause I ain't." The pokemon in front of him was a lucario, glaring at him like he'd just killed someone. "You're lucky I don't want to fight right now. Cause I would fuck you up till you're a bloody mess."
"Sorry it's my fault I didn't watch where I was going." The lucario growled and walked away into the school to do whatever he would be doing.
"That guy is weird. What's is problem? He could've easily dodge you."
"Mhm. He seemed rather aggressive at that." Shiro let it slip for once and walked into the school, dropping a few things into his locker and walking up to the shared area that is the main hall. Like usual few pokemon were present so early in the morning before school.
At her normal place was the girl who purposely kiss him two days ago. She was wearing the same ribbon as she did a week ago. Shiro approach her calmly despite his heart bumping on his chest as he was mere centimetres from her.
"Hey Sarah. Good morning." Shiro said, sitting next to her. "H-hi Shiro. I didn't see you. How are you doing?" She responded, her small brown cheeks becoming red for no apparent reason.
"I'm doing pretty good. And you?"
"I'm okay." She said moving her pencil in her paws nonstop. "Sorry for Saturday. I-I didn't know what I was doing."
"Say you liked it."
"As a matter of fact, I kinda liked it." For some reason Shiro followed Jirachi's order without questioning him.
"Really you liked it!"
"Hum...yeah."
"S-sorry. I got carried away." Sarah dropped the eye contact and looked at the floor. Her embarrassment couldn't be described, she had jumped over some of the step to get a boyfriend. Yeah, she texted her friends during hours to get tips on how to get a boy to notice your interest in him. She even locked online for more information. But despite all the things she learned, she skipped a few of them. She just wanted to be close to him and learn more about this mysterious eevee that was Shiro. In all her embarrassment she forgot she was sitting next to him, Shiro waving his paws in front of her to get her attention.
"Sarah you still here?"
"Y-y-yes, yes. What were you saying?" Sarah quickly respond but still had no idea what happened when she wasn't listening to him.
"I said did you saw a lucario walk in the school right before me?"
"Mmm… ha yes. You mean Oliver. Don't come close to that jerk, he got himself multiples expulsions for fighting with others. He even tried to flirt with Naomi, at least he got kicked in the nuts for this."
"His He that bad? Expulsions are really serious."
"Yeah but he just came back so watch out for him."
"Ok. Should we get going? Class is about to begin in like 5 minutes." The duo walked over to the class, dozens of students moving left and right next to them. Dodging the legs of multiple persons walking in the opposite direction, they reached their destination: Mr. Hydro classroom. The room was half full or half empty (depends on how you see it) of pokemon, the two eevees took their places on the far left of the room, dropping the bag they had on the floor next to them.
The teacher was on his phone, being the young and cool teacher he was, probably playing some Angry Spearow, catch the magikarp or some other mobile games you would find on young people's phone. His face frowned from time to time, showing to everyone the hard time he had clearing the level he was on.
The class was soon filled with the usual assortment of person. Each one of them taking their normal places. But an unexpected arrival made the duo of eevees gasp in pure surprise, in the door frame was no other than Oliver the same person how Shiro bumped into this morning. The same lucario who was said to be the biggest trouble maker was in the same class as them.
"Why didn't you tell me he was in our class, Sarah?" Shiro whisper to Sarah. "You can't forget something like this."
"I just forgot, sorry." She whispered back. "I was thinking about someone else and forgot he was in our class. But to be fair, he was out of class for about a month. Everyone forgot him during that time."
"Alright but that still surprised me nonetheless."
Oliver sat where Shiro supposed was his seat, in the middle on the of the class. The pokemon sitting around him stiffen up as he gaze at each one of them. The teacher closed is phone and left it on the desk, walking to the front of the class.
"I see you've come back Oliver. You enjoyed your free time?" Mr. Hydro said
"Fuck off teach. I didn't come back to fuck with this shit again."
"I hope you took time to study during all that time. You need it badly." Oliver simply growl and grabbed his notebook from his bag, setting him next to his pencil. Shiro was surprised to see how the atmosphere change so much.
"This is weird. People seems to be scared of him."
"It must be because of his actions. You don't know how he acted before you were here."
"But this is just too much."
"It might be more wise to wait and see. After that we can judge accordingly on how to act."
"If you say so J."
The rest of the class was boring as usual. The only thing keeping Shiro awake was the feeling of Sarah right next to him, only millimeters between their fur. If only he could have more time with her.
During lunch
Shiro and Sarah walked side by side, holding their food trays in their maw. Their destination was the same table as always, where Claire and Naomi are already sitting right now. As usual the place was packed with person, moving all around the cafeteria. The duo sat down in front of them.
"Heya. Your day is good so far?" Sarah asked Claire and Naomi. Just finish chewing on her food Claire was the first to talk. "Yeah pretty good so far." She responded. "I guess you already know Oliver is back in town."
"Yeah. We're in for another round of tauroshit." Naomi said right after.
"Aww come on girls. Be optimistic. He might not be as bad as before."
"Pfffff. Like this is gonna happen. You can always dream Sarah."
"If you say so Naomi." Sarah finished. "I was just trying to be optimistic." The 5 next minutes were only silence. No one talked until a small tune played on the school speakers.
"This is the principle speaking. As you might know the second term is near is end. With the approval of the school syndicate we have organized a special event fit every person who will have among the best grades of the years. Note that this year's trip will take place at Golden Lake camping. Each student that will be chosen will be able to bring a friend with him if their grade are satisfactory. Thank you for listening and good day."
Like that the fire of conversation sparked again.
"I completely forgot this was even a thing." Claire said. "Well I never got to win so I don't want to remember."
"I think Sarah will win this year." Naomi added. "Last year you almost made it, I'm sure you'll do it this time.
"Thanks but if I do win who should I choose to come with me?" Sarah asked. Millisecond later the two girl in front of me had their eyes on me. That's kinda creepy if you ask me.
"B-but I wouldn't want to ruin the fun you could have." Shiro said, sweat running on his thick fur. "I sure Sarah would prefer to choose one of you." But Claire and Naomi had other in mind that's for sure.
"Don't tell us crap. We know what happened between you two. You can't hide it from us." Naomi said.
Shiro started to freak out. How could they know? What did they know? Who said it to them? "I-I don't k-know what you're talking about." The eevee was starting to get redder and redder. He noticed the same scenario applied for Sara who had a lighter red on her cheek. But she still didn't look at him to avoid his look.
"Sorry it's a secret we can't say to you." Claire said, moving a hand on her mouth.
"You really are clueless, right?"
"Well, how am I supposed to know who told them about Saturday?"
"Geez… sometimes I'm starting to think you got half of a brain."
"Thanks I really appreciate it!"
"Always happy to help."
"You little jerk!" With that Shiro left the table and walked up to the commun area. Right on his tail was Sarah, a worried on her face. Naomi and Claire stood there, confused about Shiro's behaviour.
"Shiro! Shiro! Wait for me, please. Come on Shiro, I just want to help you." Shiro stopped in a far corner of the room, Sarah soon joined him second later "What happened? You just went from happy to sad in second. Is it because of Naomi and Claire? Don't mind them they didn't want to hurt you."
"It's okay. It's just that people around me are binding thinks from me I feel rejected."
"Don't say that Shiro." Sarah moved closer to him. She wrapped her paws around him, putting her head on his shoulder. "If you want the truth I was the one that told them. I didn't know it would hurt you."
"I-it-it's okay Sarah." Shiro said, his head redder than ever before. This was a first to him, having a girl so close to him was a new feeling. "I'm good now. You can let me go."
"Sosososorry!" Sarah backed away quickly. "It's not what you think. I was just trying to help you."
"I don't mind. It did work so thanks."
"Y-you're welcome."
"Look I'm sorry too, okay. I didn't want to upset you."
"Did you just apologized?"
"Mhm. But on the other side you did manage to get Sarah real close to you. Do you think I should frame this picture?"
"Tssss good to see your back to your normal self."
"I could say the same for your sarcasm."
