...I finally finished!
Shauna was nervous; she was actually going to use Technical Machines to learn new moves. She knew that they were use to teach Pokemon new moves, but she never knew what it felt like to be the subject of one. Chris was able to obtain to TMs for her: Ice Beam and Blizzard. He was just able to buy a TM Blizzard for her, but TM Ice Beams are much more difficult to fine. Luckily, though, he had one lying around in his house's attic, just like that Luxury Ball.
"Are you ready?" asked Chris.
"Gla..."
"Don't worry. It won't hurt. I'll be with you the entire time."
He first took one of the blue-coloured discs, and held it to Shauna's head. "TM Ice Beam activate." It then started glowing. The Glaceon did not feel much different, but it felt like...something...was flowing into her mind. She was not sure what but...it did feel soothing for her body.
Eventually, it stopped, and Chris took away the colour-drained disc. "Okay, that wasn't too bad, was it?"
"Glaceon!"
"Now here's the next one." He took another disc of the same colour. "TM Blizzard activate." It then started glowing just like TM Ice Beam did, and had some same mysterious effect.
"Alright," said Chris, "How about we test out the moves, and see if the TMs worked." He then signalled for his girlfriend to follow him to the backyard. He took out a few Frisbees.
"Try to freeze these."
Shauna really felt like a pet now. Frisbees...toys...Well, she was not human anymore, and needed to get used to that...
He launched the disc. It was spinning through the air. Ice Beam... Shauna felt her mouth and throat getting increasingly colder...if she was still human she would be dead, but...this time it actually felt really soothing. Her eyes then saw a blue beam...it looked marvellous and enchanting...it hit the Frisbee and froze it into a piece of ice; she then realized that the blue beam had come from her.
"That was great!" said Chris, "Let's practice some more."
He then started throwing more Frisbees, and Shauna kept freezing them. She had to admit, though, that it was rather enjoyable. Each time, she became faster and faster using the attack. However, her boyfriend then threw the rest of the discs at once. She then had the same experience as she had with Ice Beam...but this one felt even colder...Ice and snow started flying out of her mouth...it hit all of the Frisbees, freezing them.
"Wow! Blizzard! Well, those are all of the Frisbees. Great job today, that wasn't so bad, was it?"
"Gla!" Chris then scratched Shauna behind her ears. It felt so soothing and relaxing...she could actually get used to being a Pokemon for the rest of her life. After all, she did have Chris with her...that was all she really did want.
That night, Shauna was once again reading books in the study, but then her nosed twitched. She smelled something...something familiar...the kitchen...She walked inside, and the scent was even stronger. She jumped from a chair onto the counter...she couldn't believe what she saw...
"Hey Shauna, I've found this great recipe. Do you want to try making it with me for tonight?"
"Sure why not? What type of dish?"
Chris opened the cook book. On the picture of it was a pie. "It's a vegetable pie, originating from the Sevii Islands."
The two loves started cooking, but after an hour of hard work, they found out that they forgot to add an ingredient to the batter: wheat. Thus, it looked very distorted.
"Stupid me..." muttered Chris to himself.
"No, don't beat yourself up about it. I forgot as well; otherwise, I would have reminded you. We can try again some other time together."
"Okay..."
Chris...
Chris was making that same pie again, and was currently on the batter step.
Let's see...the vegetables are cut...you have milk...butter...flour...olive oil...wait...Chris...
Shauna then jumped off and went to the pantry. Luckily, Chris leaves it open when he's cooking. She went inside, and saw a huge bag on the ground. It read on the front "WHEAT". The Glaceon then pushed it back to the kitchen with her head.
"Glaceon gla!"
"What is it?" Chris then looked down at her, and saw the bag...
"Wheat...I can't believe...thank you Glaceon." Chris was scratching her behind the ears again.
How did she know...even I didn't know that I forgot the wheat...the same ingredient as that time with Shauna...but somehow this Glaceon knew...she reminds me so much of her...She's probably closer to me than Umbreon...all he cares about right now is mating with Shauna's Espeon...
When the pie was done, Chris gave a bunch of slices to Shauna.
"Here you go. This is for being so good today, and for helping me with the pie."
"Gla!" She started eating...it was so delicious...Chris is such a good cook...when he has me to help him that is...
The next day, Shuana was napping in the study after finishing a novel. She then heard the doorbell ring.
"Coming!" she heard Chris call.
"Oh...what is it now...isn't what I told you enough?"
"No, you still need to pay for your sins...you need to be punished." That was a woman's voice.
"Please...must we really get into this?"
"Yes, it's necessary...since you're so unwilling to cooperate." That was a man's voice.
The voices sounded so familiar...like a distant memory...or light dream...
She walked out into the hallway, and saw a man with black hair and a stern face, and next to him a much more elegant lady with brown hair.
Mom...dad...please...don't hurt Chris...
"I already told you what happened!" exclaimed Chris.
"Yes, but you probably made it all up!" replied Shauna's father, "We hired an investigator, but it was a waste of time. There wasn't any kind of evidence, except for you blood on the pathway where Shauna probably punched you in attempt to get away. Now tell us where she is!"
"I already said that I don't know..."
"Very well." Shauna's father started rolling up the sleeves on his shirt.
NOOOO! The next thing she knew, her dad's fist was frozen solid.
"AHHHH! IT'S COLD! I CAN'T FEEL MY HAND ANYMORE WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?"
"THAT!" Shauna's mother was pointing at the Glaceon.
"YOU STUPID MUTT! DIE!" He was going to kick Shauna, but just as he swung, the Glaceon moved away.
Dad...you...you want to hurt me...I...I hate you...for not just hurting me, but also Chris...
Shauna felt this anger flow through her, but not exactly flaming; more of a "freezing" anger, zipping through her body. She then felt the same feeling again in her mouth. She was ready...Blizzard...
The miniature snowstorm hit him, and soon he was frozen into an ice statue.
Shauna's mother was trembling, and her face was pale.
"Now, get out!" ordered Chris, "Take your idiot for a husband as well!"
"I can't believe it...you monster...and since when did you get a Glaceon?"
"You're the monster, mother...how could you do this to Chris!?"
"It's none of your business, so get out before I call the police!"
"Fine...but how do you expect me to carry him?"
As if on cue, Espeon and Umbreon came out, and Espeon use Psychic on Shauna's father, sending him out of the house.
"That's how. Now leave!"
"I-I...I" and then she finally left.
Chris bent down, and scratched Shauna behind the ears. "Wow...that was really...unexpected...but...thank you. They are normally kind to me, but...they're angry...they're Shauna's parents...my mate's parents...so...what you did wasn't very nice, but it was just..."
Shauna nodded. "Gla..." That wasn't very nice, but...my instincts took over...they told me to attack and protect...
"Well, thank you again...let's..." He was cut off, because both of them were looking towards the doorway. Someone else was there...someone who they hoped left their lives forever. On top of his head was black hair, covering his eyes were dark sunglasses, and over his body was a stylish while lab coat.
Okay, was BUSY! Running with my hair on fire, I was busy all day LONG! Well, I finally had time to finish this chapter; not the treat that I wanted to give for the long weekend (long weekend in Canada, that is...anyone else Canadian?), but I'd say that it's slightly longer than average...possibly my longest chapter so far! Well, please post reviews, and share news of my stories. (People actually read Tough Love now!)
