YO! Previously on PMD: Explorers of Destiny:
Hitomi smiled. "It's tea. It'll help you feel better."
Crash gave her a skeptic look. "You didn't poison it, right?" He asked.
Zozo glared. "Just drink it you ungrateful otter! Hitomi is too sweet of a Pokémon to poison someone!" He hissed. Crash scoffed and sipped. Hitomi smiled at Zozo gratefully. He blushed and looked away with a snicker. Kami and Crash glared at him.
Shine and Yuri blinked. They grabbed Hitomi. "Conference!" They shouted and dragged her away. The boys blinked at their strange behavior.
Hitomi looked at the girls strangely. "What?" She asked.
Shine and Yuri looked at her seriously. "You haven't noticed?" They asked.
Hitomi blinked. "Noticed what?" She asked.
"The boys like you! Well… not including P-Chan. He told us about the whole Emi situation." Shine said.
Hitomi smiled. "Of course they like me! We're all friends! Well… I'm not so sure about Crash, but eh." She trailed off. The girls hit her upside the head. "Ow! What was that for?" She cried while rubbing her head.
"No! Not as a friend Hitomi! They have crushes on you!"
Hitomi's eyes widened. "Th-they do?"
Shine sweatdropped. "You were never this dense back in our dimension Hitomi-Sensei." She sighed.
"Hey!" Hitomi whined.
Yuri and Shine closed in. "We wanna know! Which one do you like more?" They demanded. Hitomi's eyes widened.
Hitomi entered the Guild Mistress's Headquarters. She took a deep breath in. "Guild Mistress Jellicent? Can I talk to you please?" She called.
When no one replied, Hitomi feared that something was wrong. Suddenly, Hitomi was hugged from behind. "OH! How's my favorite Little Lovely! How come you don't visit more often? You're even cuter than the first time I met you!" Guild Mistress Jellicent cooed.
Hitomi squirmed. "I…can't…breathe!"
Jellicent released her. "Sorry! So how may I be of service to you?" She asked merrily. Hitomi frowned. "What's wrong? Was it something I said?" Jellicent asked with confusion.
Hitomi shook her head. "It's just that… The boys that are on my team, Kami and Zozo, and a Dewott from my rival team, all have crushes on me. But I don't know how I feel about it…" She said solemnly.
Jellicent nodded. "I see…Well that is quite the predicament. Hmm...All I can say is that the best thing to do is just clear your mind and think. This is very serious, you need to think long and hard, alright?" She instructed.
Hitomi paused. "I guess that makes sense…" She nodded. "Alright, I'll do just that!" She bowed. "Thanks Guild Mistress!"
Jellicent smiled. "Any time! Visit whenever you feel like it!" She chimed as Hitomi headed toward the door.
"Okay!"
Hitomi sighed as she stood on the lawn of the base. Kami and Zozo gave her worried expressions. "She's been out there for hours, what's wrong with her?" Kami asked.
Zozo nodded. Crash quietly crept behind the boys. "Boo!"
"AHHHH!" They screamed.
Crash laughed. "You guys are too easy!" Zozo and Kami were shaking in each other's arms.
They looked at each other. "EW!" They parted with disgust.
Crash looked out the window. "What's up with her?" He asked.
The boys glared at him. "If we knew, don't you think we'd be trying to help her instead of staring at her through the window trying to figure it out?" Zozo snapped.
Crash shrugged. "Well, if you're not gonna ask her, I might as well." He sighed. The boys watched him walk up to Hitomi. He tapped her and she shrieked, her fur standing on end. Crash laughed. "Are all of you guys this easy to startle?" He chuckled. Hitomi blushed and looked away. "Hey what's up with you? Your teammates are worried." He asked with a somewhat bored expression.
Hitomi shook her head. "I'm fine." She assured nervously.
Crash's face got close to hers and he looked into her eyes. She blushed again. "You're lying to me." He concluded. He backed away. Hitomi exhaled her held breath. "What's wrong with you?" He demanded.
Hitomi blushed "It's personal. It involves you, Kami, and Zozo but I can't really say." She sighed.
Crash raised an eyebrow. "If it involves me and the others, you have to tell me!" He snapped.
Hitomi shook her head. "Just leave me alone!" She ran into the base and into her room.
Crash walked up to the boys. "Well, all I know is that the reason she's being weird is because of the three of us. But she won't say." He said. The three of them looked at each other before sighing and sweatdropping.
Hitomi looked at the solar system design on her room walls. She looked at the picture of Venus. She lowered her left ear. "Venus is all about love and beauty, I wonder if it has anything to do with this? The girls say that the boys have a crush on me… but I don't know who I like more. Zozo is nice, silly and caring. Kaminari is sweet, shy and smart. Crash is daring and mischievous, but he has a nice side to him. They're all cute too…" She muttered. She pulled on her long ears. "WHY IS THIS SO HARD?" She screamed. She sighed. "This is killing me! I like Kami, and I like Zozo, I even like Crash, but who do I like more! It'll be awkward when I choose! Two would be left heartbroken and might not wanna be friends with me anymore!" She collapsed on her bed and looked at the ceiling. "I need to get this off my mind…" She sighed. She smiled. "Maybe I should try learning a new move! Like Iron Tail… Or maybe Retaliate… Man, Eevee don't have a wide variety of attacks… I'll just learn Dig, it seems pretty easy. You just dig and pop out of the ground."
She began to dig underground. She made a small tunnel before popping out. She fell on her backside. "Okay, clearly I need to learn how to land on my feet." She blinked. "Wasn't I just in my room?"
She shook her head. She dug again. She jumped again and again until she finally landed on her feet. She looked at the front yard. She sweatdropped."It looks like a bunch of Drilbur came in here and dug to their hearts desire! I better fill in the holes…"
She filled them up and patted them down until the yard looked normal again. She sighed of relief. She looked around. She saw the boys starting another argument. Hitomi was about to make them stop when she heard the topic of the argument.
"Hitomi likes me best!" Kami shouted.
Zozo scoffed. "Yeah right! Why would she like you when she has me?" He retorted.
Crash rolled his eyes. "Why would she like either of you when she could have someone as cool as me?" He scoffed.
Hitomi 's ears flattened against her head. "You know what? Why don't we just ask her who she'd rather be with?" Kami growled. They nodded and walked toward the front yard.
Hitomi squeaked. "I can't be asked that! Not now! What do I do, what do I do?" She paced. Her ears perked. "Dig! Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig!" She dug underground until she was hidden from view. She popped out from the hole and dragged the dirt over it, covering it up. She held her breath as she heard the boys.
"I could've sworn I saw her out here…" Kami muttered to himself.
She giggled. "Did you hear that?" Zozo asked.
"Eek!" Hitomi covered her mouth.
Zozo pressed his ear against the ground. "It sounded like Hitomi." He said. Kami frowned.
"What would she be doing underground?" He asked while pressing his ear against the ground.
"Learning how to use the move Dig, what else would I be doing?" Hitomi snapped.
Kami smiled. "I heard her too!" He chimed. "Hitomi, what are you doin' underground?" Kami asked. Hitomi didn't say anything. "She didn't reply...?" He muttered.
Crash scoffed. "Probably because she isn't there."
He snapped. They both glared at him. "Yes she is! We heard her! Maybe she was learning Dig!" Zozo hissed.
Hitomi looked behind her when she heard a growling sound. She sweatdropped when she saw a Sandile glaring at her. It bit down on her tail. Hard. She jumped out of the ground screaming.
"OOOOWWWW! GET IT OFF OF ME!" She screamed. She landed and started running, trying to shake Sandile off. "Get it off get it off, get it off!" She shouted. The Sandile bit harder. "GET. OFF. OF. MY. TAIL!"
She shrieked. The boys all looked at each other. "TOLD YOU!" Kami and Zozo shouted at Crash.
He sweatdropped. He took one of his scalchops off. She ran right past him. "Razor Shell!"
He slashed at Sandile causing it to let go. Hitomi stopped running and sat down, holding her tail in front of her. There was a little skin showing at the tip. She poked it and shivers trailed up her body.
"Ow!" She squeaked out. She licked at her tail, like an injured Pokémon would do. She stopped and sighed. Well, the burning feeling is gone, but it still hurt. "I can't believe you bit off the fur on the tip of my tail!" She snapped at Sandile.
He glared at her. "What's your point, furball?" He hissed.
"My point is that my tail hurts like crazy and you had no right whatsoever to bite it!" She snapped.
Sandile smirked. "You were on my territory." He said.
A vein popped on Hitomi's head. "Your territory?" She stepped toward Sandile. "Listen pal, if you haven't notice there is a team base here! And I happen to be the leader of this team base! That means your on my territory, and when your on my territory, you don't bite my tail! Now I suggest you leave on your own before I make you leave!" She snapped.
Sandile raised an eyebrow. "What can you do? You're just a little girl!"
The boys sweatdropped. The girls, who were listening, did too. "Should'nt have said that." They all muttered.
Hitomi growled at him. "Excuse me? Say that again. I dare you!" She challenged.
Sandile smirked. "What can you do? You're just. A little. Girl." He hissed.
Hitomi's growling grew. "Well then. This 'little girl' is about make you regret saying that!" She charged up a Shadow Ball. A big one. "Neptune Ball!" It became flushed in water as she fired it. It sent Sandile flying. She panted. "Call me a little girl. Feh. I may be small, but I am so not a little girl." She muttered. She stomped into the base.
Everyone sweatdropped at her. Crash smirked. "She's more my type than I thought." He smirked. The boys glared at him.
Yuri and Shine smiled. "Hitomi has some great guys who like her, doesn't she Shine?" Yuri asked.
Shine nodded. "Yeah. Crash and Kami are really nice." She chimed.
Yuri sweatdropped. "What about Zozo?" She asked.
"Him? He's okay I guess." She said with little to no enthusiasm. Yuri sighed.
Hitomi sighed as she healed her tail in the water. Her fur grew back with the water's power. She sighed. Shine trotted into the room. "Hiya Hitomi-sensei!" She greeted.
Hitomi smiled. "Hiya. What's up?" She asked.
Shine sweatdropped. "Well...where are Crash and I gonna sleep? I'm a new member and he's still a little injured." She said.
Hitomi's tail swished back and forth. "Well, Yuri doesn't really like sharing a room... and I think if I have Crash share a room with Kami and P-Chan, or with Zozo, they'll kill each other." She muttered. Shine sweatdropped. Hitomi sighed. "Okay. You two will share my room." She answered. Shine sweatdropped. Hitomi tilted her head. "What?" She asked. "Is that a bad idea?" She asked.
Shine shook her head. "Not directly. But Crash is a boy and he has a crush on you." She trailed off. Crash charged inside and
grabbed Shine by the collar of her fur. "What, do you think I'm some kind of pervert?" He snapped.
Shine sweatdropped. "No no! I just..." Hitomi, finally catching up with what Shine meant, blushed dark red, which stood out from her silver-pink fur. Shine looked at her. "Hitomi-sensei, you're blushing." She observed. Hitomi shook her head.
"Relax Shine! It's not like he's sharing a bed with me! I have an extra over there!" She said while pointing at a bed on the opposite side of her room. "Just in case P-Chan decides to wake me up with his Ember attack and burns my bed down. Don't worry Shine, we'll share a bed!" She chimed. They all hopped into bed.
"Goodnight!" They chorused.
"GEEEETTT UUUPPPP!" P-Chan shouted.
Hitomi and Shine screamed and fell out of the bed. "Is this how he wakes you up all the time?" Shine asked.
"Unfortunately yeah. But no matter how much it happens, you'll never get used to it... Sometimes Kami wakes everyone up, still loud but not as bad as P-Chan. One time he woke Zozo up by setting his tail on fire." Hitomi muttered.
The girls and P-Chan looked at Crash. "He's still asleep?" Shine said.
Hitomi sighed. "Go eat breakfast, guys. I'll wake him up. P-Chan, if you touch my food, I'll bite you." She hissed. P-Chan nodded and he and Shine ran out. Hitomi hopped onto Crash's chest, rising and falling as Crash breathed. She sniffed at him. "How do you wake up a water type...? Maybe I could get Kami to...maybe that's not a good idea...Got it!" She hopped off and took a deep breath in. "ECHOED VOICE WAKE UP CALL!" She shouted while using Echoed Voice.
Crash snapped up and covered his ears. "I'm up, I'm up! Stop already!" He shouted.
She bounded up to him. "Breakfast is done. Oh, and remember, you're leaving today." She chimed.
His face got close to his. "Don't ever do that again." He said with a scowl.
Hitomi blushed at how close he was and backed up. "I hear Yuri calling me! I'M COMING YURI!" She shouted and rushed toward the door, only to end up hitting the wall next to the door and waltzing out in a dazed manner.
Crash blinked. "I didn't hear anything." He stood. "What's up with her?"
Don't worry persons! Hitomi will have romance scenes with Crash, Kami, and Zozo! Maybe. I don't know. Depends on my memory...don't get your hopes up. ~Meow~! *Does peace sign before cute kitty pose!*
