Author's note: Sorry for not updating .This will be the last chapter in this series.
Everyone sat in silence slightly shocked from the question Pawniard asked. What did we even learn? Dodrio's students all pondered, some while nibbling on their still hot meal. Rowlet had a big grin on his beak and looked like he was holding back laughter.
Venipede noticed this and glared at him. Oshawott picked up her glass of water but then put it down with a sigh. Bisharp glared at his colleague's students once again and suddenly pounded his clenched fist on the table.
"I'd love to know if you can answer the damn question! Dodrio said he wants me to write down a lesson to send ya'll back with but, figure something out yourselves!" He shouted grabbing his fork and eating some of his meal. Froakie stared at Riolu,Riolu stared back at Charmander.
"What the hell do you want me to do!" the fire lizard asked purple eyes pointing at Treecko who wasn't paying attention. Cyndaquil coughed as a warning to the visitors thinking "You guys better figure out sometime or else." Shinx gazed at her lovingly with a smile.
But still the students couldn't figure out a plan. Treecko opened her eyes and groaned as she saw her friends staring right at here, as if waiting for her response. Honestly do I gotta do everything for you dolts? She realized as her tails fell.
Bisharp looked at his empty plate and backup met eye to eye with the wood gecko Pokémon waiting. "Okay so what we learned is something about situations that life will give you and finding the solution to them." Treecko calmly said getting out of her chair.
Venipede smiled from relief that one of them could give a good answer. The sharp-blade Pokémon had other plans and got out of his seat as well, growling in anger "Who said you could leave just yet, please sit back down to hear what I'm about to say."
The grass type did as told surprisingly and everyone waited for Bisharp. But Charmander broke the silence with a loud burp. His face soon turned as red as a Charmeleon's scales as he whispered an "Excuse me." With everyone looking at him in awe.
"Damn son that was a loud ass burp!" The dark and steel type roared with a smile on his face. Oshawott and Shinx shook their heads thinking what is wrong with them?
Bisharp regained his composure and put his left palm into his right one, "I don't know what happened during the little fiasco with those criminals on your part but I have a report back from Officer Azumarill about them and their story. "
"Apparently their friends got hurt in a ferry trip and they didn't know what to do in the situation and took to robbery to pay for the bill of food with their friend, who had a legal job. They aren't as lucky as you kids are to have adults to tell you what's right and how to make a safe and legal living in times of stress. " He stopped to inhale and think of a closer.
"I want all of you to be thankful, now get ready for bed no staying up past 12 and I'm going to check on you. Make sure I don't see anything that your parents wouldn't want to see. There, good night." Bisharp then left the table headed for his room with a sigh.
Everyone finished their meal in that time so now they sat at the table. Pawniard hopped out of her chair and grumbled "That old man had a point but that still doesn't make up the fact that made us run his errands." Treecko put her hand on Pawniard's shoulder to calm her down. "He happens to give great advice; maybe you should give him some credit." She purposed smiling her warm gazing touching the dark and steel type's heart. But suddenly Pawniard remembered something.
"Give him credit?! I'd rather him to give me head, damn it why am I like this!?" she quickly stated steam pouring out of her ears and her face reddening with anger and embarrassment. Charmander rubbed the back of his head in pure confusion, Riolu and Venipede gave her the most displeased look and everyone else couldn't hear every word she said. Besides Treecko and Froakie of course.
Oshawott, Charmander, Riolu and Venipede walked to their room tired along with Shinx who wanted to take a nice warm bath before all the hot water is gone. Pawniard wasn't tired yet so she sulked around the office. Froakie and Treecko followed her quietly. 'What is she doing over here?" whispered the grass type, worried. Meanwhile Cyndaquil who had left her stuff in the upstairs bathroom went up stairs to said bathroom.
Pawniard stood in the office looking at a map of the world, that had the Air Continent circled."Uh wish we could travel some place far off… it's so boring around here." Suddenly Froakie leapt at the defiant Pokemon's feet grabbing onto her waist for support.
"The hell are you doing Froakie!" gasped Treecko leaping towards him as Pawniard was prone to strike. Froakie jumped back with a grin on his smug face saying "Aww you secretly love him? Don't you?" The steel type glared at him with eyes of rage.
"Why wouldn't I love my father? What makes me so special anyway huh?!" she shot back defensively slightly panicked. Treecko stood on her heels doing calf raises and nodding her head, taking it all in.
The bubble frog began to stand up on two legs and put an arm behind his back laughing. "Oh you know it is not just simple mutual family love it happens to be incest!" he stated placing his left hand under his chin.
Pawniard looked at him with confusion asking "What do you mean incest Froakie! I'm not that way at all!" body in a hostile posture , rubbing her knives together. Suddenly Rowlet flew up to Treecko and whisked her away making her cry out in surprise.
Froakie smiled, his orange eyes mischievous as he supplied an answer " Oh you know what you said as in 'I'd rather him give me head." as he hopped up to her grabbing her shoulder. The steel and dark type was red with anger and was shaking at the thought of her own foolish remark.
The light blue Pokemon smirked as he lowered his body to face her waist as she looked down at him." Now I can solve that whole head problem if you loosen up my dear." With pure rage Pawniard kicked him square between the legs . "Go to hell!" her eyes roared .
Then she stormed out of the library with a very bright blush .Froakie fell to the floor in shock, holding his groin mumbling "Guess that wasn't a good idea after all. Maybe I'll just never listen to that asshole Rowlet either."
Meanwhile Charmander eagerly watched as Oshawott sharpened her scalchop with an actual sword. "Wow I've never seen a real sword before! That's soooo cool!" the fire type cheered as Venipede looked over at simply grinned up at Charmander focused on her work. As she hacked and slashed it became noisy and Shinx and Cyndaquil had finished, now in their beds were not expecting this to be keeping them up.
So the flash pokemon in earshot of them opened his eyes and glared at area causing the noise. "Guys keep it down, some of us are trying to sleep." He politely bargained licking his right paw. The water type complied and put down the scalchop and put her sword in its sheath, getting into her bed. Charmander did the same but him falling asleep instantly.
Above them Cyndaquil stirred worried that they would all get in trouble."What if Rowlet is loud again with all of his nocturnal bullshit or Venipede tries to get a midnight snack with one of Dodrio's kids and trips…. No no stay calm just go to sleep Cyndaquil." she pondered gazing at Riolu's sleeping face and arms.
Of course the Grass Quill pokemon took no time making an escape out of the house with Treecko in his talons through an open window. The non flying grass type was losing her mind as they flew out the fortress of a building.
The night sky was almost pitch black , not for the light of certain bug,fire and electric flying types. "W-where are you t-taking me?!" asked Treecko shaking violently hoping not to fall off. She looked down and saw street lamps and lights from houses below them, the late night air putting chills on her scales.
"Wait where am I taking my fellow grass type? Ack!" Rowlet hooted turning around dodging a flock of various normal-flying types. But with that motion one of his talons let out off the right shoulder of Treecko and she nearly plummeted to earth. "C-can we just go home before Master Bisharp yells at us?" the defeated grass type muttered, shaking like a leaf.
Rowlet smiled" Yeah let's go back, I just wanted to give you a taste of how flight is before you guys leave." And the two headed back to the defense headquarters before twelve and went straight to bed.
Just below where Rowlet stopped was Thor and Volcan's neighborhood; Wisp Hills. The family wasn't living in poverty, they had all sorts of things left over from Thor's uncle, Jolteon. "I am going to make a call to the local doctor right now guys. Since you guys have government jobs it comes with the insurance." Shep said standing by the counter pulling out the phone book, tail had a refrigerator, microwave, oven, T.V , freezer, A.C/Heating unit and a computer in their two story home.
The crew was all hanging out down stairs and the twins were resting on the carpet next to the T.V, waiting for dinner. "Are you okay Shade, you look troubled? Tired?" asked Dusk putting his muzzle under his sister's chin. In response the smaller Zorua shook her head, "No" cold eyes low . "Bathroom?" asked Volcan from the kitchen, trying to heat up dinner.
Shade frowned again "Not right now." looking up and down the stairs. "Hungry? If so we'll hurry up with dinner !" Thor declared as he started to boil some rice. Shep found the number and pounded it into the house phone."Hello I'd let to schedule an appointment." Nevertheless they failed to guess what was ailing their friend, who replied.
"No, you've got it wrong I want to walk outside again, to battle and to explore. I am without a doubt super bored!" Shade groaned rolling over onto her back, minding her injured leg. Dusk was startled by this action and attempted to stand up."Don't worry." He whispered, successfully being able to stand. The larger Zorua placed his snout on his twin's light grey belly. "We'll just have to be bored together!"
Then he proceed to start tickling Shade causing her good legs to flail in complaint. "Cut it out Dusk!" She cried, wincing as she accidently moved her right fore leg. But her brother started tickling even more, tail wagging and eyes showing pure delight, "No way! You said you wanted to not be bored silly!" Dusk replied.
"Umm, I don't know what you are doing but dinner is ready." Spoke up Volcan, using an oven mitt to carry the dish of curry. But Dusk was still continuing to tickle his sister and she got fed up opening her mouth, inhaling.
Electrike looked at the twins , shaking his head asking. "Is she trying to use Dark Pulse? She's charging it up for quite a while." Suddenly a dark blast lit up in Shade's mouth, causing her to gag up a black foam. It tastes so awful ,thought the female Zorua cringing.
Shep was finished with his phone call about setting up the doctor's appointment just looked at the dark type in disgust pondering "Why did you charge up Dark Pulse just to not fire it out of your mouth?! Well you two have an appointment tomorrow at 9 AM okay." The normal type picked up Shade by the scruff and lifted her into a chair, then did the same to her younger brother.
"Let's eat, even though it's late! Thank you, Mewtwo for this meal!" The five canines soon ate their meal and made it to bed before 12 just like all the students in the Defense Headquarters.
That next morning at about 8:15, Charmander was the first to wake up panicked looking around the ceiling from the second bunk. "No don't throw me into the lake!" the fire type shouted still living in his nightmare and fell out of bed, purple eyes ablaze. With the sound of him hitting the carpet woke up Riolu and Shinx who were on the bottom bunks. The emanation Pokémon opened her green eyes shaking her head.
"Did someone just fall out of bed?" asked Pawniard glancing down at the dark floor from one of the top bunks, trying to see who it was. The electric type Shinx started to glow as the dark and steel type climbed down her ladder bunk , bumping her head against the wood. "Sorry my bad guys, but you might as well wake up."
Treecko and Venipede opened their eyes, filled with rage . "Why'd you wake us up asshole! " the grass type said lunging at Pawniard pushing her to the ground. Which startled the Blade-Pokémon and prevented her from flipping on the light switch.
Charmander was still on the floor passed out from shock and Riolu climbed out her bed to wake up Rowlet saying "C'mon buddy you gotta wake up!" the fighting type started to shake the grass-flying type side to side. "Ugh alright Riolu I'll get up" he groaned getting up and flying to open the blinds.
Meanwhile Pawniard was confused at the yelling she heard from Treecko, "Unlike some Pokémon I didn't the full 8 hours I deserve!" is what the wood gecko complained grabbing the defiant's wrists lifting them above her head, making them stare eye to eye.
A bright red blush sported the yellowed eyed steel and dark type's face, since she noticed the red and green grass type's knees pressing up on her crotch. "Uh uh umm, I'm sorry! Gah!" Pawniard embarrassedly cried, fainting with a nose calmed down and gazed at her puzzlingly asking "Huh what did I do?".
Cyndaquil woke up to sound of Oshawott and Shinx fussing over Charmander. "What even happened to you?" pondered Froakie rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. The sea otter Pokémon grabbed Charmander below the armpits to lift him up , grunting.
Cyndaquil rolled her eyes, "Hey isn't he heavy?" she asked letting her black and crimson eyes filter in the light. Shinx frowned at the comment, offering to put the lizard Pokémon's legs on his back. "If he's so heavy, why aren't you helping?" The fire mouse sighed in defeat and looked up at Riolu who was trying to find her bag.
"Well it is almost 8:30 so we better go get ready." Venipede started crawling towards the door, looking back at Rowlet who just perched on the window sill and Pawniard who just laying on the floor. "He said get up!" Jumped the only electric type using Spark on Pawniard to jolt her up, panting.
Her yellow eyes flew open immediately and she stood up. What was I doing on the bedroom floor? She thought taking off her nighttime wear. Treecko and Froakie looked at her bewildered, "Why do you wear boxers to sleep? Aren't you a steel type?" they asked finding their bags and morning care items.
Charmander wasn't waking up so Shinx had to Bite him,causing the startled fire type to use Ember in the air, hitting Rowlet. "Augh!" Noticed the purple eyed fire type, covering his mouth. "Sorry Rowlet, I hope you don't have a-"
The grass quill Pokémon hooted in pain suddenly. "It burns! I have a BURN!" the grass and flying type reeled in pain as his body was literally on fire, flapping his wings frantically.
Froakie jumped to his aid trying to use Water Gun on his friend as Oshawott tried to use the same move on the burning owl Pokémon. The moves combined and drenched Rowlet and he shook his feathers free from flames. "Thank Mew for water types, am I right?" he cheered flying up to Oshawott's head and landing on it.
Riolu opened the door for Shinx and they left the chaos filled room. "Ahh, thanks Riolu I'm going to miss you guys. Most of you aren't loud as my classmates." the flash Pokémon meowed rubbing his head on the fighting type's leg, sending an electrical charge up her up, into her body.
"Ech!?" panicked Riolu jumping forward, her paw getting caught in a dip in the floor and tripping. Shinx marveled at the results from just a simple cheek rub, "Woah you okay there?" he asked. "Yep, just smashed my face into the floor, I've had worse." The emanation Pokémon stood up brushing off dirt from her fur. Soon everyone was able to take baths/showers and completely groom themselves before 9.
Right on the dot, Bisharp exited his room and walked into the hallway. He looked at the teenagers with grief, folding his arms. "Well Tactics Branch students, it was nice while you stayed here. But you gotta scram, anything to say before you leave?" the tall Pokemon sighed.
Froakie lit up a smile digging through his bag. He soon pulled out the red and blue long cape they found in the Telluric Path. "Bisharp, Sir I- no we would like to give this cape to you as a farewell gift." he said as his classmates nodded their heads.
"Where did you get this beautiful cape from guys?! It's color and fabric are glorious!" Marveled Venipede,nearly leaping on it. Pawniard looked at him and scoffed "They probably got it from Master Dodrio or something." Charmander and Riolu looked offended by her statement and protested. "Hey we found that are dwelling in the Telluric Path and beating up some evil Dragon types,who were bullying the inhabitants!"
Treecko glared at Venipede tapping her foot,"You do realize that this cape is meant for a tall bipedal Pokemon, do you Venipede? " the grass type asked her red eyes scanning the large cape. Oshawott spoke up to defend her friend, "Well he could use it as a blanket." Cyndaquil frowned at the comment saying "It's not his cape in the first place guys, it's Master's."
Shinx looked at the clock, rolling his eyes,"What type of blanket has shoulder pads and and chain collar, Oshawott?" he mewed. Before anyone could add a word or two, the sword-blade Pokemon that had been given the cape stomped his foot on the ground, getting fed-up with the students mindless argument."Wow,so much for things to say. Anyway thank you for the gift, you were a pleasure to have over." he looked at his own students faces.
"What polite things would like to tell them before they leave for real , students?" asked Bisharp , getting death glares from his daughter and his apprentice."Umm I'll miss you guys, even if you were so annoying." mumbled Cyndaquil her eyelids lifting to show her crimson and black eyes.
Venipede smiled shaking his head and shell adding "I love the excitement you all brought to our little home." Oshawott yawned before Charmander suddenly glomped her, causing panic.
Why is he latched onto my side? Thought the Sea Otter Pokemon opening her mouth to protest "I wish to come visit you guys at the Tactics Branch one day. Okay okay you can let go now, Charmander." pushing the fire type away from her with one paw.
They all stood in silence for a moment, then Riolu cleared her throat, "Well thank you all very much for allowing us to stay, I-I'll really think about all the lessons you taught us." Bisharp and his pupils nodded their heads, deciding that enough was said. The Quartet took their possessions from the floor and gazed at the door, wondering who will open it first.
"Just get outta here already!" Shouted Bisharp slamming into the children, sending them flying on the steps outside. He didn't have a better response to the sadness in his heart so he turnt to swift violent action.
His students and daughter felt a different sort of action they were overcome with a strange sense of guilt. "Our Defense Branch really needed some guests to share out work with, but now, now I don't the next time foreigners will come by again." spoke up Shinx as tears fell down his cheek and into his fur. But his otter friend wiped his tear and gave him a warm smile as if to say 'don't worry they'll be back'.
Treecko and Froakie were the only ones to land on their feet, their companions not so fortunate. "Last time going down these stairs, let's *snif* press on guys. *Sniffle* Don't look at me like that!" cried Riolu as she helped her fire lizard off the stone.
Then the Pokemon decided to take the Lapras Liner back home instead of the chaotic and danger filled Magnagate which was a much shorter trip.
Alas it was only slightly less dangerous with the danger of falling overboard and other sea Pokemon who wish to cause a threat still being present. "Don't worry mates, we're almost at shore." reminded the kind Ice-Water type as a bright beam from the lighthouse illuminated the closing in mainland.
After they reached the port in Lively Town they still had a way to go on foot. Though tired and it being late at night they pressed on their journey till they reached the front door of the Tactics Branch. "I can't take anymore!" Cried Charmander as he lifted up
Riolu, clearly the least exhausted grabbed the handle and then as if he knew they were home Dodrio gently pushed open the door. His students eye's lit up at the sight of him and he picked each of them up and onto his sturdy fluffy back. "Now don't worry, I'm proud of you, you Explorers of Tactics."
