I thought that I might as well put this chapter up, chapters may be a bit slower from here on out due to the fact that I am working on another story at the moment.
Oh yeah, I changed the title of this story.
Pokemon: Not mine, just sayin'
Anyway...
About fifteen minutes later the place had filled up with more Pokémon.
I felt very small at the moment, but was really enjoying the conversation that Turbo and I were having.
"Why do they call you Turbo?" I asked and the Swampert chuckled.
"Don't even think about answering that!" Ratchet growled.
I heard some chuckles from almost everyone at the table.
"Because I can go all night." The Swampert replied. "And I have a pretty hot rod, if you know what I mean."
That statement received the Swampert a ratchet to the head from the canine next to me.
Everyone at the table except for Ratchet and Rotor bursted into laughter, but I didn't get the joke.
"I don't get it." I stated.
"Keep it that way." The Arcanine replied.
I'd have to ask about that later.
"Anyway…" I said feeling a little awkward now. "What's that stone on your wrist brace?"
Turbo then looked at me and smiled again.
That handsome smile...
"Ah, I thought you would never ask." The Swampert stated. "Ever heard of Mega Evolution?"
Mega Evolution?
"No, what's that?" I asked.
"Mega Evolution is a type of evolution that powers a Pokemon up for a set amount of time, also changing their appearance slightly. The Pokemon reverts back to it's original form after a set time." Cobalion answered.
That shocked me a little, I had never thought of further evolution before.
"What I have on my wrist brace is a special stone that allows me to Mega Evolve, it's called a Swamperite." Turbo stated.
"So that specific stone is for Swampert?" I asked and Turbo nodded. "So that means that there are Mega Stones for other Pokemon too?"
Turbo nodded again.
"Yup, there are a few that have been discovered, but I'm the only one in the Swords of Justice with one." The Swampert said with a slight gloat. "Although, I've heard that there might be stones for Charizard and Samurott out there somewhere."
I saw Rotor roll his eyes.
"As if." The Samurott replied.
"It's true," Turbo responded. "I've even heard that a few legendary pokemon have stones too."
"Are you talking about Rayquaza?" Cobalion asked.
"Exactly." The Swampert replied.
"What about Aggron?" I asked, getting the attention of the group again.
I really had no clue where that thought came from.
"I think there is some Aggronite out there." I continued.
"Why?" Turbo asked. "Did you know someone who had some?"
Did I?
"I think so." I said. "I can't remember though."
After my question, Turbo and Cobalion went on about the subject for another ten minutes. I was still interested on why that I knew about Aggronite, but I was more interested in why Rotor was acting all grouchy now.
Seriously, it just came out of nowhere.
"I'll be back." Rotor said and left the table, leaving me with the rest of the Swords.
I was more concerned now.
What was up with him?
"So Al," Turbo said and interrupted my thoughts. "What's your story?"
"Umm," I said and looked at Cobalion for help.
"I'll fill you on the details later." Cobalion said for me. "For now he's staying at the guild with us."
I silently thanked Cobalion for that. I wasn't sure if I could say that I fell for Michael's tricks; not only would I worry everyone, but I would fear attracting attention of the Charizard and the Haxorus.
"Oh is he?" The Swampert said, looking very joyful about this. "You know, I do have enough space for another bed in my room."
All I could do after hearing that sentence was think of all the dirty things going on in that guy's head.
Blushing, I had to make an excuse to not go with him.
"Sorry, I'm already staying with Rotor." I said without thinking, getting a weird look from both Cobalion and Ratchet. "Speaking of, I'd better go help him prepare my place, I'll be back for food later."
That said, I left the table.
Talk about close.
I quickly made my way out of the dining hall and walked down the same hallway that I entered the place through; when I got to the end of the hall I saw the Samurott.
"Rotor!" I said and ran to him. "Wait up!"
When I caught up to him, he turned his head, and he didn't look too happy.
"What do you want?" The sea lion asked, his tone intimidating me a little. "Shouldn't you be with Turbo right now?"
What?
Turbo, what about him?
"Rotor, I saw that you were not in a good mood earlier, did I do something wrong?" I asked, feeling a little guilty. "If I did, I'm sorry."
The Samurott just sighed and shook his head.
"No," He replied. "I should be the one to apologize, I just didn't like that Turbo was hitting on you."
Hitting on me?
Is that so?
"Turbo wasn't hitting on me." I said with a chuckle.
At least I didn't think he was.
Rotor rolled his eyes.
"Okay, flirting with you." He corrected.
"He was just giving me a lot of attention, and I didn't really mind." I said with a blush. "He even offered to let me stay in his room with him."
It was probably the Samurott's red face that told me that he wasn't pleased with that. I had to grab his hand to stop him from walking back to the dining hall and doing something rash.
"But I declined." I quickly said, and he looked back at me. "I told him that I was already staying with you."
"What?" He said and I blushed a little.
"I just acted on impulse."
With a sigh, Rotor placed his hand on his forehead.
"I'm going to guess that you're fine with that?" I asked nervously.
"As long as it isn't with that dickhead." I heard him mutter. "I might as well show you the way to my room."
I let out a silent sigh of relief as the Samurott motioned me to follow him.
It also took us both a few seconds to realize that we were still holding hands as we walked. We quickly released each other; our faces red.
There was then an awkward silence between us for about a minute; it ended when we reached the elevator.
"I'm sorry." He said.
Huh?
"I really shouldn't be mad at you or Turbo, it's just that I feel like it's my job to protect you from the real threat of the Anti-blades. I was just going off because Turbo is driven on his sex drive most of the time."
That statement made me chuckle and blush more; it was nice that the seal lion was taking his job seriously, and that he didn't want me getting hurt.
Though I kinda felt like it was more than just that.
"It's fine." I said and smiled. "Sometimes that stuff can interfere with your job, I'll keep my distance from him if you want."
"Oh, you don't have to do that." Rotor quickly said and waved his arms in front of him. "If you want to hang out with him, it's not my job to stop you. I just don't want him to lure you into his bed."
"Uhh…" Was all I could muster, and decided that a change of topic was called for. "Anyway, will your room have enough space for the both of us?" I asked, hiding my blush.
That handsome smile then reappeared on the Samurott's face.
"Are you kidding, my place is huge, and like I said: high-ranking members, such as me, can live here and enjoy the guild's luxuries." He replied.
"Oh, yeah." I said, blushing more.
The elevator ride lasted for about a minute and a half, and the walk to his room about two. The two of us talked all the way, and suddenly got to the topic of video games.
"I don't think I've ever played on an Xbox One before." I said as we walked.
"Well, I'll need to fix that then." Rotor said somewhat ecstatic. "I suggest that we play Soul Calibur Five first."
"I guess so." I replied. "What's that?"
"You'll see."
We then arrived at the Samurott's room.
The size of the room, the tropical ocean wallpaper, the flatscreen television, and the several bookshelves made me stare in awe. I just couldn't help myself, knowing little, this was just all so new and facinating to me.
"Once again, frozen in amazement." I heard Rotor say, patting me on the head. "My home is your home."
All plans to return to the dining room were then terminated from my mind.
"How about we just get some pizza and eat here tonight." I suggested out of nowhere. "If you think it would be better that going back."
Rotor just laughed.
"Oh really?"
I didn't answer him; I just had the strangest urge to flop on the couch that was lined up with the large tv.
"I'll be back." The sea lion said with a chuckle.
I did not hesitate to flop onto the couch and lay down after that, and man was it comfy.
I then took a minute to look out the large windows that were on the walls, and looked at the city of Ray Town.
Wow was it lovely.
