I was woken up with a gentle kick to the side. More like whatever was kicking me was trying to wake me up, but that didn't work. I just tightened my grip on whatever I was holding, which was really warm, might I add. I liked it. Can't I just stay here forever? It's comfy, warm, soft, all that… But guess what, no, the gentleness of the kicks became a swift kick into my ass. That got me awake quick fast and in a hurry. I shot up, standing and took a swing at whatever had just hit me. And then a familiar black blur took hold of my fist, turned me around, and held my arm behind my back.
"Idiot, you know better than to swing at me. Now wake Himari up, we're going to Bluefire City." Brandon let me go. This, is the Brandon I know. He taught me when we were younger not to fight him, physically. Anytime I thought it was a good idea to 'try' and punch him, he always did the same exact thing. Grab, turn, twist arm. I've made my peace with it, though. He IS my best friend, after all. I crouched down next to Himari and poked her in the cheek. She made a 'Munyuuooo~' sound and turned over. That's when a side of me the I hold back ever so much around everyone came out. I lightly put a hand on her butt…Waaait for iiiiit… And gave it a good hard spank. It was then that she moaned slightly and turned over to see me, groggy eyed.
"Oh, how did you know I liked that?" She said, not remotely close to awake. Farthest thing from, as long as she wasn't asleep, too. Brandon and I looked at each other with the same questioning face. Out of pure curiosity, I slapped it again. She moaned yet again and I decided to back away. All I did was put my newly claimed signature hoodie on and returned my Pokemon to their Pokeballs. I lifted up Himari with some difficulty onto the bed. She flopped back down as if she were asleep, and she just might be.
"Are we going to do the wake-up trick on a girl?" Brandon asked. I smirked.
"Of course we are. It is a unisex sleight that wakes anyone up."
"I'm staying out of it."
"No you're not."
"There is nothing you can do to get me t-"
"I will buy you a stash of Pocky."
"Done."
See, the wake-up trick is preeeetty simple. It involves a jump on the bed, a slap somewhere that is not genitalia or a butt touch, and add in catching the person to be woken and startling them into reality. With two people, it is even more fun. So here is the plan, I jump on the bed, Himari is propelled slightly upward, Brandon catches her, I lightly slap her in the back, Brandon drops her, I catch her, her breathing is a little wavering but that is only because she was scared awake, release, we get ready, we go.
And here is what actually happened.
I fell onto the bed, intentionally, propelling Himari upward. Brandon failed to catch her because she slipped through his fingers. Instead, he simply picked her up. I was able to give her the prompted slap onto the back, only that miraculously, It landed onto her butt. That caused Brandon to drop her and land in MY arms.
"You broke the wake-up trick creedo, Sonata."
"I did not!"
"Butt touches are breaking it."
"I guess it is…"
"You owe me pocky."
"Doth. Hoi, Himari, you up?" I asked her. She opened her eyes with an evil glare. and stared directly at me.
"I will kill you if you touch my ass again, now get out, both of you. I need to change." She shooed us out of the door and slammed it, keeping Brandons Pokemon in there with her. I shrugged my shoulders and sat down on the floor. The Nurse of the Center took note of our presence and walked over to us.
"I couldn't help but overhear the fact that you are going to Bluefire City, yes?" She asked. I shrugged again.
"Ah, well, I have to register you for a couple of things before you can challenge Master Sei, or any of the other Gym Leaders. Come." She led me and Brandon to the desk.
"Let's see, first off, I should give you these. I think the professor forgot." She handed us two watch like things. She saw my bracer thing and put one of them away. Instead, she handed me a little chip and Brandon the watch thing.
"This is a challenger icon. All trainers, along with their training license, must have these. There is a chip for the X-Transceiver, so put that in, and it will function as a challenger icon. Any time you are challenged to a battle, You will receive information on your opposing trainer. Their name, trainer class, amount of Pokemon, and their gym badge count."
"Exposition, Ho." Brandon said dryly.
"Stop breaking the fourth wall, dood!" I said, hitting him in the arm. I slid the chip into my device thing and a new menu option popped up. It was there along with the Call(Video|Audio) and Map thingies. Brandon put his on and just looked at it before relaxing his arm at his side. Himari came out of the room all in her clothes and whatnot. Brandon went back in there and returned his Pokemon and came back out, adjusting the balls at his belt. With that, we left the center.
"Sho, hoosh thish guy thatsh getting ush into the gym?" I asked, mouthful of bread and spam.
"A guy I met this morning named Shin. He showed me to a place that doesn't have shit for coffee. And what are you eating?" Brandon asked. I simply stuffed a sandwich into his face. Like, directly into his mouth kind of shove. It probably looked weird seeing as he is like, a whole head taller than I am. He took the sandwich and took a bite.
"You know, thish ish actually prih-ih ger" He said.
"Do you both just talk with your mouths full? Geez." Himari spoke. I just took a piece off of my sammich and put it in her mouth. After chewing and actually swallowing,
"Okay, that's not bad." The walking down Route 2 went smoothly until my stupid curiosity kicked in.
"Hey, Brandon. Didn't you say something about the gym earlier?" I asked.
"Yeah, I did. Shin is the gym leaders grandson. Sei, the gym leader, has so many challengers that there are appointments and whatnot. Seeing as how Shin is kin, he can probably pull some strings and get us in early."
"Swee~t" We kept walking down the path until it had a small split in it. Well, more like the was a hole between the trees where there was a clearing with a small patch of grass. It was there that I saw something adorable. It was a little blue cub-like Pokemon with black hind legs. It had a star for a tail and big yellow eyes. Not to mention a cowlick of blue fur. Almost instantly, i had whipped out my Pokedex and scanned the little bugger.
Basic Registry.
Name: Shinx
Type: Electric
Commonly found in forests or plains.
I wanted it. Badly. I instantly reached for my Pokeball.
"Kotoha, go!" I shouted as I threw her capsule. My X-Tranceiver activated. Two…. health bars? Appeared on screen. I could see one for Kotoha at the bottom, with one for Shinx at the top. Ah, it doesn't mean anything.
"Kotoha, use [Growth]!" The oblong leaves upon my Petilil's head glew a white light, as if taking in the sunlight. The Shinx came at her with a full on [Tackle]. It was so fast that I couldn't counter it. I decided on a different approach.
"Kotoha! To me!" I withdrew Kotoha and switched in Auron, calling for an immediate Quick Attack onslaught. The two blue Pokemon became blurs as they battled. They were both struggling, even I could see that. I looked to my X-Tranceiver and saw the Bar for Shinx in the red.
"Auron, here!" I called. My Riolu quickly obeyed and was at my side once again. I took an empty Pokeball of mine and held it in both hands, near my face.
"In this capsule I put a piece of my heart." I lobbed the Pokeball to the Shinx. A red light enveloped the little lion. One Shake. Two Shakes. Insert penis joke here. Three shakes.
"UN-CHAIN!" I shouted. The red light of the button sparkled a clean white with a click.
I think my heart stopped.
"I… I did it? WE DID IT GUYS!" I picked up my two Pokemon and gave them a big hug. I couldn't believe what happened just now! I caught a Pokemon!
"Sonata? What was that?" Brandon asked.
"What?"
"Your Unchain thing."
"Oh… I… uuuuuh…. I saw it on TV… I wanted to try it…." Himari came up right to me.
"You did great, Sonata. You look so happy!"
"I am! I haven't felt this good in forever!" I walked over and picked up the Pokeball with my new friend in there.
"'I'm naming you…. Oculus." I returned my starter Pokemon and let out Oculus for the first time. After which, I picked him up and put him on my shoulders. Who needs a Chatot on your shoulder when you have a LIGHTNING KITTEN!?
"Alright, let's get going to Bluefire City!"
Merry Christmas, Electric Angels and Lunar Knights!
Link: Don't you address my followers!
Tsu: I do what I want!
Link: Whaatever.
Tsu: I got you a christmas gift, Umbreon Brother…

Tsu: I told you I would get you.

Link: Only one thing to do.
Tsu: Break into song?
Link: No. Grab your Fusionite.
Tsu: Oh,yeah.

*The two authors become balls of light and spiral into each other. The flash of the union fills the screen with brightness until one being emerges. Standing there is a man with long gray hair, tied into a ponytail at the base of his head. A blue collared shirt with a black tie and an unbuttoned suit jacket adorn his torso. Black slacks with golden rimmed pockets and golden it off with black loafers with a golden ankle trim. Three golden bracelets adorn the arms of this man, over his suit jacket. A tail forms with yellow rings about it, ending in a four-pointed star. He summons two swords for him to fight with. On his back is a Large sword, jagged in nature. At his left waist, a Katana. Appearing on his arm is a small buckler like shield, meant for deflecting smaller hits and dealing some of it's own.*
