Thank you for joining us in the next installment of the new series "Pokemews, To the Rescue" brought to you by ME! Kulani Tawanoki! And to all that tried to participate in the quiz brought on by the last chapter, the correct answer was MEOWTH! I had a comment that Meowth's ears were not in fact black-shaded, but I will defend myself by saying I was looking at a picture and getting ideas from it. So, please forgive me for any confusion! On to REVIEWS!
Lozzieh – Yes, weird looks are fun to get when you're purposely trying to get them. I like that word Spunknacious too!
Mew Tangerine – YAY! Somebody quoted! Awesome! Thanks for the review!
Purplefoxqueen – Thanks a ton for the review!! And I thought eevees were brown! Guess not! Thanks again!
Chichiri's Angel - Ah! I thought it was much too easy! I'll just have to try harder next time!
Lucky Ryo – Thanks a ton! And I added Mew Maneki just for you! I hope you like her!
Again, thanks to all that reviewed! I so enjoy reading them. So does my kitty, Buster who always sits on my lap when I write. Sorry this took a little longer than expected. I wanted to submit the very next day but them my mom's like "Alright, I want a Christmas Tree so we have to clean the whole house." Let me tell all of you right now, my house is far from spotless. Multiple furry things (cats and dogs) Finney friends (fish) and a thing (My little brother) live here. Oh well, on with it, right?
In the Last Chapter
"DNA merge completed! Mew Kitsune born!"
"DNA merge completed! Mew Maneki born!" Both girls looked at each other and smiled.
"Maneki? Is that your name? Mine's Kitsune!" Kitsune smiled. The girl smiled also.
"Yep. Maneki's my name. Let's be partners in crime-fighting!" Maneki called throwing her hand in the air. Kitsune threw her hand in the air as well and their hands connected.
"Pokemews! To the Rescue!" They cried, officially starting the new groups of Pokemews.
Present Day"Aw, come on, Taiyou. Stop nagging! I knew what I was doing!" Kitsune repeated herself exasperated. The blonde man crossed his arms over his chest and huffed.
"Well, it's not my fault you transformed in the middle of a busy road! How in the world could you do that? How could you be so…so…so like your father?" He softened a little and smiled at her. "Guess stupidity runs in the family, huh?"
"Taiyou! That's so mean! Maneki, tell him that's mean!" Kitsune whined, turning to their new traveling companion. Maneki blinked innocently, then grinned at Taiyou.
"That's mean, Taiyou. Be a good boy." She smirked. Taiyou sighed, then looked on at their destination.
"We're almost there girls. Be at least a little more quiet until then please!" They both nodded and crossed their fingers behind their backs. Kitsune turned to Maneki.
"Hey, how many more of us do you think there are?" Maneki looked at her and blinked.
"Well, if you're number one, and I'm number two and we lived just down the road from each other possibly if we follow the road, we'll find more of us, right? I mean, logically." Kitsune smiled.
"Alright, a smart person on our team!" Taiyou turned around, now walking backwards.
"Now that, I probably deserved, but still. That's mean, you hypocrite!" He cried. Both the girls burst out into fits of giggles. "Now, calm down. We're here."
In front of them was a small city, it had multiple buildings but one was huge. It had a strange mark on it, like a diamond covering a pokeball. The two girls looked at each other, confused. Taiyou sighed and continued on, then went inside a small building with a red roof. Both girls ran after him, afraid of being left. He was at a computer in the corner of the building, pushing random buttons quickly in succession of each other. Then he held out his hand and a pokeball materialized.
"Kitsune, this is yours." He handed her the pokeball. She took it, smiling, then hugged him.
"Thanks a ton, Taiyou! You're the best!" The man blushed and hugged her back, then broke away.
"See what it is, Kitsune!" Maneki cried gleefully. "Maybe our pokemon can be friends!" Kitsune smiled at her friend then set the pokeball in her hand and her eyes slanted in determination.
"I choose you! Come out now!" The pokeball flashed red and out shot a red beam of light. A small brown fox-like pokemon cried its name as it emerged. Kitsune's eyes widened in delight and she grinned from ear to ear.
"Oh, it's an eevee! How adorable! Ooh, give it a nickname, Kitsune! We've got to know what to call the adorable thing!" The dark brown-haired girl rambled on in pure excitement. Kitsune rolled her eyes, and then smiled at the little pokemon. Something in their eyes connected and she felt their spirits merge into one.
'Is this how it feels to own a pokemon? To make a strong connection…?' The ninetails-mew put a hand to her chest, where her heart was.
"Kokoro." She declared. "Her name is Kokoro." (A/N: You know, this would probably be the spot, if it were a TV show, where we would break for commercial. That's just what I was thinking. Odd how you can tell these things by watching a little too much television, yes?) Taiyou smiled, Maneki squealed in joy, then pulled out a pokeball.
"Well, Ai? Come out and meet your new friend!" The red beam of light shot out of the small sphere and a small dog-like pokemon with bone-like markings all over her howled quietly. Taiyou nodded, impressed.
"A houndour, hm, Maneki? Very interesting. C'mon, you two. We need to get on the road. I'm sure you both need to train before facing the first gym leader. He's a grass-type gym leader with a nasty poison attack that goes by the name of Rio. He's nasty-mean; no mercy, I swear." As Taiyou kept up his rant, Kitsune picked Kokoro up gently and stroked her gently. The fox-like pokemon squealed in delight and rubbed back.
"We're going to be a great team, Kokoro, I can just feel it. Let's go train." The two walked right out of the pokemon center and out into the forest they just exited. A few moments later, Taiyou and Maneki stumbled out after her, realizing she had left. They found her, deep in a battle with a trainer that looked strong. He had a beedrill; an insect pokemon with twin stingers on either of it's arms that packed a punch.
"Kokoro, use tackle!" Kitsune called to her new partner. The little fox obeyed instantly, slamming its body into the other's. The beedrill, winded, lay on the ground for a moment while the boy that was his partner yelled at it. "Finish it off with a take-down attack!" Kokoro sprinted towards the large insect and slammed its forehead into the pokemon's stomach. The large insect's eyes went into a spiral pattern and then was declared unable to battle. Kokoro squealed in delight and then jumped into her new partner's arms, and said partner was laughing and petting her.
"That was great, Kokoro. It was over so much faster than the last one!" Taiyou stared at the strength and knowledge of the young hatchling he had just let go, then blinked and pulled something out of his pocket. He pointed the square object at the young eevee, then his mouth was held agape.
"I don't believe it…." The blonde man stared at his analyzer. Maneki looked over his shoulder, confused.
"What is it Taiyou? What's wrong?" He shook his head in pure disbelief, and then showed the girl the analyzer.
"That little eevee has gained over ten levels in under five minutes. Either Kitsune is a very skilled trainer, or my analyzer's malfunctioning. And I highly doubt the latter." The dark-brown haired girl stared.
"Wow…" Was all the talkative girl could utter. They were both completely speechless. Kitsune and Kokoro turned to them and blinked.
"What? What'd we do? Why are you staring at us like that?" Kitsune asked nervously. She hated people staring at her. It always gave her the chills.
"Kokoro has gained over ten levels. We'll need to find some sort of different stone soon, because that little thing's growing too fast." Kitsune just laughed.
"You're being silly, Taiyou. C'mon. We need to leave Hill Town and get on the road to Star-Sparkle City!" She called. Both her traveling companions nodded in agreement and all three of them set straight out. Kitsune kept Kokoro out, cradling her in her arms while Maneki put Ai back into her pokeball. Taiyou sighed drastically at the young girl's attachment.
"You need to put Kokoro in her pokeball, Kitsune. It's common sense." The blonde-haired man said in his matter-of-fact voice. Kitsune merely blinked at him.
"But I don't think she likes it in there, Taiyou. And she's been in that nasty pokebox practically her whole life. Can't you just permit it this once?" Taiyou was then subjected to two sets of puppy-dog-pleading eyes.
"Alright, but just this once." He relented. Kitsune smiled and kissed him on the cheek before running ahead with Maneki, laughing. Taiyou touched his cheek and smiled, then frowned and his face got serious.
"Poor Kitsune. You have no idea what lies ahead in your winding future path. I hope you're strong enough to face whatever Team Genesis has in store for you. I really do." The man murmured to himself before putting on a grin and running to catch up with them, starting the long road ahead until they got to the next town.
So, how was that? I'm sorry if it's shorter than everyone was hoping and a little later. Thanksgiving was MADNESS, pure and simple. Well, I'll give a shout-out to Lucky Ryo who was the inspiration for Mew Maneki because she requested a Meowth Mew Mew. If anyone has any specific requests for any pokemon mews that you want please, feel free to Personal Message me or just send it in a review! Thanks to Chichiri's Angel for all those wonderful character ideas. I'm still not sure if I'll get to use any of them yet, but it's worth a shot right? Oh, now onto this chapter's quiz!
Why do you think that Kitsune named her eevee Kokoro?
I know that it's not technically a quiz, but I'm dying to hear what you all think! Don't forget about those PMs and Reviews! Can I try and shoot for five reviews this chapter by the time I finish the next one? Please and Thank You!
