Hey guys! I'm here with another chapter! Read and enjoy!
Chapter 7
Night spread over Smashville as a figure of a ninetales walked along the side of the street. She stayed close to the shadows to avoid people and possibly trainers. She then turned down in an ally and approached three pokemon that were lazily lying around. These pokemon were a houndoom, a mightyena, and an arcanine. The ninetales walked out of the shadows and approached them.
"Hey guys." She said with politeness. The mightyena lifted his head and blankly looked at the nintales.
"Well, you finally left the forest and stepped back into the streets." He muttered. "Why do you even live there?"
"Shut it, Duncan." The houndoom growled at the mightyena and got to her paws and faced the ninetales with a smile. "Hey Hazel! I haven't seen you long time."
The ninetales dipped her head. "It's good to see you to, Cinder. Sorry I haven't visited." She then looked up at the three. "You haven't happened to see a thin, fluffy raichu around, haven't you?" She asked shyly.
"Raichu?" The arcanine, who was by the name of Jacob, asked, tilting his head.
"Oh, him!" Duncan said with a sneer. "Yeah we saw him. The little runt trespassed into our ally, trying steal food."
"Yeah, we taught him a lesson with a good beating!" Jacob snickered. Hazel's eyes widen.
"You what?!" She asked. Cinder turned to her and gave her a questioning look. "Why? What's wrong?"
"He was my friend!" Hazel said. "I met him in the forest. He was lost and needed a home, so I told him to come here!"
Cinder casted her gaze down. "Shit..." She whispered. "We're sorry Hazel! We didn't know!"
"Yeah, how were we supposed to know?" Duncan asked with a scoff. "It's not like we can read your thoughts from here and know. We're not psychic-types!" Hazel let out a frustrated grunt and started to pace, worry for Link filled her thoughts. Cinder looked at her with concern and slight confusion. She understood that the raichu was her friend and she should be worried, but why is she over-reacting like this. Then, realization hit her and she smirked.
"Is that raichu really your friend, or something more?" She asked knowingly. Hazel shot her head up and looked at her friend in surprise, a blush creped on her face, turning her cream furred cheeks red.
"N-No!" She stuttered hastily. "I mean...he's just...he's only...I'm only..."
"Mhmm." Cinder said with a slight nod. "You have a crush on him." Hazel blushed more as Jacob erupted into laughter and Duncan put on a look of disgust.
"Ugh, you actually like that little runt?" He asked, shaking his head.
"Well, yeah." Hazel admitted. "I mean, he's really handsome. Most raichus don't look half as appealing as him." Her eyes then widen at what she just confessed and she covered her face in her paws as Jacob laughed harder, Cinder smirked, and Duncan shouted "Barf!" Cinder shot a glare at the mightyena and sat down next to the embarrassed ninetales.
"It's okay that you like someone." She reassured. "I mean, I kinda have a crush on someone. You need to be glad that yours isn't an idiot like mine." She shot a quick glance at Duncan. "I don't blame ya, I do admit myself that he was pretty handsome." Hazel uncovered her face and smiled her thanks at the houndoom.
"Ugh, why am I even listening to this?!" Duncan shouted in annoyance.
Jacob's laughing started to subside until he finally stopped and got to his paws. "I gotta take a dump." He announced and left.
"We don't need to know that!" Cinder shouted after him.
"Anyways, about your little love fantasy with a scrawny mouse, you need to give up on him." Duncan said bluntly. Hazel gave him a challenging look, her red eyes narrowing.
"What're you trying to say, Duncan?" She asked with a hint of a growl. "I understand he probably doesn't like me back in that kind of way."
"What I mean is he's taken." The mightyena continued.
"How do you know?" Cinder and Hazel asked unison.
"Earlier today, an espeon, flaaffy, snivy, and dewott walked into the ally while Cinder and Jacob went out to find lunch." Duncan said. "At first, I attacked them for trespassing, but the snivy and the dewott kicked my ass, it didn't make me feel any more annoyed that they were all female. But, after that, the espeon asked me if I seen a thin, fluffy raichu that wore a green hat. And, since that runt that we attacked matched that description perfectly, I told her 'yes' and she asked me where he is and I said 'I dunno'. She looked pretty upset and the flaaffy explained to me that he was her boyfriend and he ran away for Arceus knows what. They thanked me for my time, left a couple flyers hanging on the walls, and left. So, the raichu's taken, give up on him, Hazel."
Hazel and Cinder stared at him for a while until Hazel casted her gaze down, a little upset. "Oh." She muttered. Cinder placed her paw on her back and looked at her with sympathy.
"It's okay, Hazel. There's plenty of magikarp in the sea." She said.
"I'm fine, it was just a little crush, anyway." Hazel said. "It's not like it was anything serious." Then, her eyes widen in realization at what Duncan said. She snapped her attention to him. "Wait, so those four pokemon were his friends?" She asked.
Duncan nodded. "Yep."
"And the espeon was in a relationship with him?"
"Yep."
"And he just left?"
"That's what they told me, so, yep."
Hazel couldn't believe what she heard. Duncan then spoke again. "If ya don't believe me, the flyers they left are over there on the wall." Hazel turned and saw the flyers. She rushed over and took them off the wall and read over them. They all said 'Missing Raichu' with descriptions of what Link looked like. Some also said that if Link was reading this, they were sorry for treating him like dirt. Hazel looked over them.
"I can't believe this." She said. Cinder approached her.
"What's wrong?" She questioned. Hazel turned to face her.
"He had a family and friends that cared about him, and he just left them!" She said. "Why would he do such a thing?" Cinder and Duncan only shrugged. Hazel then had a determined gleam in her eyes. "I need to find him and make him see sense!" She said.
"How are ya gonna do that?" Duncan asked skeptically. Hazel was about to say something, but she stopped and realized. How was she going to do this? She didn't even know where Link is.
"Well, after we, met him," Cinder said. "I did see that crazy Granny come and take him, yet again, thinking he was her raichu, Cesar." Hazel's eyes widen in horror and she turned to face the houndoom.
"The crazy Granny took him?!" She shouted in disbelief. Cinder nodded. "And you didn't even bother to help him?!" Cinder looked down in shame and nodded.
"Well, he's fucked now." Duncan said.
"No, he isn't." Hazel said in realization. "I know where the crazy Granny's house is, I've seen it before. I could just go there, warn Link how crazy she is, tell him that his friends miss him and they're worried, and then he'll head home! Everything will be solved!"
Cinder nodded in understanding. "That could work." She said.
"Well, it sounds like you have a plan." Duncan said. "By the way, the raichu's name is Link? Huh, you learn something new everyday." Hazel then turned to her friends.
"Well, thanks you guys for telling me all that I needed to know." She said. "I'll wait until the morning and tell him." Cinder poked her in the neck with her nose.
"Your welcome." She said. "I'm always glad to help my friends."
"Yeah, whatever..." Duncan mumbled. Hazel said good night to them and headed out of the ally. When morning came, she would warn Link about everything. Now, she couldn't wait to sleep for the next day.
And done! So, here's a chapter about the OC's in this story and looks like Hazel found about everything and is gonna warn Link about the Crazy Granny and everything! Let's hope Link will believe her and return to the mansion. Plus, even as a pokemon, Link is having girls fall for him! I mean Hazel had a crush on him and Cinder even admitted that he was handsome, well, she didn't have a crush on him, she just only said that but still. Wow, Link's such a chick magnet.
Anyway, thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed. See ya!
