A/N: I've seen so many Proton/Lyra ships I decided to do my own version. This isn't really a ship, just interactions. Hope you enjoy!
Chapter Ten- Intruder
Crystal jiggled her key in the lock and opened the door. As soon as she stepped inside, she heard loud music coming from her bedroom. Had she left the radio on? She walked through her apartment and screamed when she saw who was in her bedroom.
"Hey toots!" Proton cried when he noticed her. The former Rocket executive was lying on her bed with the radio on full blast listening to heavy metal.
"What is this?!" Crystal shouted over the noise.
"Consequences, baby!" he replied, sitting up and adjusting the volume on the radio. "There I was broke, alone and jobless after Team Rocket's disbandment, unsure what would become of me!" he said, melodramatically. "Then I thought about you!" he grinned. "Remember when we meet during Goldenrod Radio Tower incident? I asked you why you were so determined to stop us. Do you remember what you said?"
"I-"
"You said, and I quote, 'As a pokemon trainer, bad guys like you are my responsibility'." he mocked in a high-pitched, feminine voice. "So since you felt the constant need to but in, I thought you wouldn't mind doing it again and helping out an old pal. You know, since you're" he said, giving her a playful tap on the noise "responsible for us!"
"Oh my God!" Crystal cried, whirling her head around in horror. "Don't tell me the others are all here too!"
"Oh don't worry toots you got me all to yourself." he said, plopping back down on the bed. "So when's dinner?"
"I don't know." she sighed, "I usually just have take out. Don't you have anything better to do than to harass me?"
"While we're on the topic of food," Proton said, putting a finger to his lips. "I have always wanted to start my own restaurant. Not in Johto though, somewhere they would appreciate my culinary genius."
"Oh yeah?" Crystal muttered, "Where's that?"
Proton shrugged, "I don't know." He was silent for a minute then brightened, "Baby, you just gave me the greatest idea!" He leapt up off the bed and got to his feet, lifting Crystal into the air and swinging her around in triumph.
"Haha! Yes, baby! Luck days are here again!" He set Crystal down on the bed and darted out of the room.
Crystal blinked and sat in her room quietly, startled at the man's suddenly exit. She shook her head and sighed. "Whatever, at least he left."
She got up and flinched when she suddenly realized what had happened. She felt around her pockets. Her wallet was gone. She slapped herself on the face in frustration.
"Oh, of course."
