OMG! I can't believe I havent updated in 5 whole months! I am SO SO SO SO SO sorry for making you wait this long. I ran into a lot of trouble while writing this (School, writers block, loss of interest for a while) but B have it now. Before I bore you with my long and not important reasons why I havent updated saooner, lets get on with the story!
Disclaimer: Do i really have to say it? Everyone aleady knows that I do not own Pokemon. Ok i said it.
Maylene POV
After a while, the party tension sort of died down. Not long after Gardenia, Roark, Byron, Fantina, and finally Wake, arrived. People talked, some of us danced, it was just like any day if we were random citizens. When I say 'we,' that excludes Blondie over there, who somehow managed to stay out of everything.
'But we're Gym Leaders, some of the best in all of Sinnoh!' Maybe I'm just starting to get cocky.
"Yo! Everyone, listen up!" yelled Flint. Oh no. The entire time, whenever things would get dull, he'd think of something to try and make this party more exciting. The only two problems, his ideas either suck horribly, or fail to make anything better.
I listened to what Flint had to say, even though no one really cared. "I already talked with our Ralph, and we agreed." (AN: The DJ's name is Ralph)
"Agreed on what?" I asked. I'm sorry I asked.
"Is there more to this?" I asked, regretfully. If I didn't ask, someone else was bound to, so it didn't really matter.
"Of course there is!" he said. "No wait,… yeah, that's just about it."
"Wow. Very…uncreative" Volkner muttered. I almost forgot about him, seeing he's always quiet and didn't do much through out the day.
"Oh yeah? I'd like to see you come up with something," Flint protested. I sometimes wonder how those two ever got to be best friends. It probably has to do with battling or something.
"I never agreed to this. Besides, when does this whole theme song thing start anyway?" he asked.
"I don't know. Like I said, it's random. We just have to wait for…" Flint didn't get to finish because 'Peanut Butter Jelly Time' went on, and everybody stared at him.
"Wow, a perfect fit. Random song for a random guy," Candice said. Most of the others, including me, nodded in agreement.
I was glad that something would keep him busy for a while, and away from me (Don't get me started). But now I had to find something to keep me busy. I looked around to see if there was anything I could do. Then I walked over to the cooler, plan in mind.
Volkner POV
'How much longer is this going to last?' I thought. Of course it was a good idea for having all of us just chill together, but I'm not a people person.
"Why don't we dance when this song is over?" Jasmine asked as she walked up to me.
I shook my head. "I don't dance. It's not a thing I do," I said.
"Aw, c'mon! It'll be fun!" she said.
"Jaz, don't make me do this," I almost begged.
"VOLKNER!" someone yelled so loudly I almost jumped. My first thought was that the police were after me, and were going to make me pay for causing the blackout a few months ago.*
"Here comes Flint," Jasmine whispered. I groaned. And there he was, angry looking and red in the face.
"Volkner!"
"What?"
"Look at you! It's already late and you haven't done a single thing! You're worse than a Snorlax!" he fumed.
"Your point exactly…?" I knew he was going to talk to me about it, but what would that accomplish?
As if he heard what I was thinking, Flint strated, "Volkner, by the end of this, if you haven't done something I swear I will post your jigglypuff boxers on the internet and all of Sinnoh…no, the whole world will know about it!" Crap. He couldn't have been serious.
I glared at him. "I mean it," he said. "Now you two enjoy yourselves and I will see how everyone else is doing. Tootles!"
'You have got to be kidding me,' I thought. Just then, a slow song came on. Now or never. I held out my hand and asked, "…Want to dance?"
"I thought you don't dance," Jasmine reminded me, but took my hand anyway.
"If there's ever a time that I should take Flint seriously, now would be one of those times," I said. And so we danced. About halfway through the song, Jasmine looked away as she chuckled under her breath. "What?" I asked.
"Volkner?"
"Yes. What is it?" What was going on?
She turned to me, lifted an eyebrow and said, "Seriously. Jigglypuff boxers?" That did it. I have got to get rid of those. But first…
"Flint! You just made your life a hell of a lot shorter!" I yelled as he ran out of the gym, laughing hysterically. 'I am not going to let him get away with this.'
Candice POV
Sometime earlier…
Things went smoother for me once everyone else arrived. It felt a little less awkward when the room was filled with people.
I danced, talked and just chilled the whole time. We've got to do this more often. We never get too much time to relax and hang out together. And us includes the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and of course the Champion.
It was getting dark outside, and I wondered how long this was going to last. Just then, I felt a pair of cold hands cover my eyes, and something pressed against my back. I heard a low growl whisper, "Say anything and I'll shoot."
"Nice try Maylene," I laughed. I turned around and there she was, holding two popsicles.
"Want one?" she asked.
"Sure. Just the thing for a day in July," I said as I took one.
"How did you know it was me?"
I took a bite into my popsicle. "Please. You couldn't sound threatening even if you had Darth Vader's voice."
She snorted. "Now way! If I had Darth Vader's voice I'd have to be all like 'I am your father.' No thank you."
We both laughed. When 'Peanut Butter Jelly' time was over, Ralph thought it was a good time to slow things down a bit.
"Ooh, slow music. Now's your chance to make a move with Aaron," I teased.
"Candice!" she whined as she hit my shoulder. "It's not funny." Just then, Glaceon jumped on her back and knocked her over.
"Yeah but that is," I laughed. Maylene just gave me a look that said 'I'll get you for this later.'
Glaceon hopped off her and scampered away to play with the other Pokemon. I helped Maylene get up off of the floor. Just then…
"Flint! You just made your life a hell of a lot shorter!" we heard Volkner yell. As he did, Flint ran out the door, cracking up.
"I wonder what he did this time," Maylene said.
Before I got the chance to say anything, Flint came back to the room. Is it me, or does he just constantly interrupt me?
"Back so soon?" Bertha asked him.
"I wasn't planning on it… but look!…the fireworks are about to start!…gah!" he said in between pants.
Everyone started pouring outside, running on to the platforms. Other people were there, obviously wanting the best seat in the house.
As we got settled, the first one came up. It was in the form of the Beacon badge. The symbol of Sunyshore.
Next were fireworks in the shapes of different Pokemon: the three starters, Shinx, Burmy, Bibarel, Hipowdon, Lumineon, and many more.
I stared in awe. This was my first time seeing fireworks from outside of Snowpoint, Veilstone, or Eterna City. And it was just as beautiful watching from here as it is from back at home or over at my friends.
The grand finale topped everything off perfectly. A bunch of small fireworks shaped as Pokemon exploded right next to each other. More started to explode in the same manner, and if you looked closely, you could make out the Pokemon, and see that all together it formed a gigantic Beacon symbol.
Afterwards, the place started to quiet down, until people started to talk to each other. They started to get down from the platforms, and we were just about to also.
But then, a loud crash was heard. I thought one of the others had done something stupid to get attention, but then the swarms of people started to flee from somewhere.
The lighthouse.
Volkner POV
I saw people running away. My eyes darted in the opposite direction. I saw the lighthouse. And it was on fire.
Everyone rushed towards it, knowing we had to do something. 'Nobody messes with my lighthouse and gets away with it.'
Yay! I was going to finish this up and post it tomorrow, but I decided not to. Everyone, Thank my Glaceon figurine which gave me my inspiration, or else it would have been a while before this chapter was up.
*does anyone else think that it was Volkner's fault that Sunyshore had the blackout in the diamond/pearl/platinum game? I imagine that he was the one who fixed it, but i wanted to put that stuff anyway.
Got anything you want to happen? Have any helpful ideas to make my writing better? Message me or just review.
Reviews will earn hugs from the guy of your choosing. X3
Flames will be put out using a fire extinguisher...nevermind. I'll just get Wake's pokemon to do that. :)
later!
