I'm baaack! Thanks to all of the people who reviewed, favorited, and followed the story. I've recently been working on a different story, and chapter one has been posted. But enough about me. Let's get started!
"So you're in the circus now, huh?" Ambipom asked the two bug types.
The Pokémon were currently in a circus tent, the giant tent being put up overnight by P.T's band of Kricketot. They were standing on a platform twenty feet above the ground. Another platform stood between them, a series of trapeze the only way to the other side. A net was hung under the platforms for safety.
P.T. Licky had told them that they needed to find a job in his show, and before opening night, which was in three days. The two decided to try and be acrobats, first.
"Well, I can't see how either of you are going to be acrobats." Ambipom stated, much to the two's surprise.
"And why would that be?" Burmy asked, insulted by Ambipom's bluntness. Ambipom shook his head.
"Are you stupid? You two don't even have hands!" Ambipom yelled.
"Oh yeah, I guess you're right." Burmy said after thoroughly inspecting his worm-like body.
"Well, this was a stupid idea." Combee agreed with Ambipom. "Neither of us have the skills, or the body parts to become acrobats." Burmy, however, was not discouraged.
"Oh, come on, Combee! Where's your sense of spirit? We didn't become carnies just to quit on the first day!" Burmy encouraged.
"You know, Burmy, I don't remember agreeing to be a carnie. Frankly, becoming one hurts my already bruised ego." Combee countered, only to be earned an angry look from Ambipom.
"What did are you saying about carnies, bug?" Ambipom threatened Combee. Unfortunately, Combee didn't take the hint.
"All I'm saying is that my becoming a carnie is an all-time low for me." Combee continued, Ambipom looking livid.
"I'll make you pay for that!" the monkey yelled, swiping at the bee Pokémon.
At the last second, though, Combee ducked and Ambipom's swing smashed into Burmy, sending him flying onto one of the trapeze. After hanging onto it for dear life, Burmy was able to get a strong hold of the swing, and was able to sit on it, considering he was so small.
"Ha ha!" Burmy cried, triumphant. "I told you we could be acrobats!" As he continued to laugh, the rope holding the trapeze up gave an audible creak.
"Are you absolutely sure that trapeze is sturdy?" Combee asked the purple monkey.
"Of course I'm sure!" Ambipom laughed. "That trapeze has held me up for years, and I'm, like, ten times his size! Why would it break now?"
Suddenly, the trapeze Burmy was sitting on suddenly snapped, causing Burmy to fall right into the net.
Unfortunately, Burmy was small enough to fall through a hole in the net, making it so he fell twenty feet onto the cold, hard ground.
As Combee laughed at his friend, Ambipom took the opportunity to hit Combee with his tail, causing him to fall twenty feet on top of Burmy.
