Pokemon Vr chapter 11
.
.
France- oooh. I noticed something.
Tba- you have?
France- we have an M-rating. *evil smirk* you know what that means~
England- I can beat you up!
Prussia- I can curse like no tomorrow! (France- and I can F-)
Tba- no you cant.
Everyone- WHY NOT:?
Tba- the M-rating is just incase anything I write goes above the T-rating. (not likely)
Prussia- sh- (Tba- shut your mouth.)
England- bloody h- (Tba- houses still cost quite a bit nowadays.)
France-fu- (Tba- funny how I'm not letting you continue right?)
Everyone- EVIL! (Tba- well what did you expect?)
England- Fu- (Tba-…dge… fudge is delicious.) let me curse damn it!
Tba- …. *shrug* couldn't think of one for that.
England-… is that even a curse? (Tba- who knows~)
Italy- Ve~ Speaking of that, where's my brother?
Tba- um… I forget where he appeared…. Wait wait!... no I lost it again.
France- speaking of Romano… is Spain going to be here?
Tba- yep. Um… right after America.
Prussia- right after? Like, right after like next chapter or right after like-
Tba- deadpan* literally three seconds after.
England- eye twitch* he better not try anything!
Tba- continuing…. How do we get to this anyway?
England- because you have a three second memory and cant stay concentrated for more than a second.
Tba- that's not true. …if it was, I never would have been able to finish any games. Or update. OR FINISH A THOUGHT. …
Prussia- could've fooled me~ (France- and me.)
Tba- shut up.
Oh, that reminds me… that one strip about the uh… things…
*blush* *cough* t-the answer is Italy…but the name could have originated from a british doctor. But it also could have originated (the name) from a French village that produced them too.
England-… what are you talking about?
Tba- blush* j-just something I read…
Prussia- by the way, how long did it take you to complete the game?
Tba- checks first game clear* 16 days.*depressed* if only I had more free time… I would've finished it quicker. *sigh* one hour a day about since I was busy with school and fanfiction, and the computer…
England- 16 days is good enough!
~You can tell when I have a new game because I disappear for weeks/days on end.~
~but then again, I do that normally so… *shrug*~
.
.
Hungary can't be traded to Austria because well….
It would impact Austria's team, and the game never lets you trade with your rivals/friends. His team already has a grass type (snivy) so there wouldn't be a point.
But when Italy has to stay in the Pc, at least Hungary will stay with him to keep him company.
.
.
.
Hungary lead them to a log that rested over a large gap.
"This way."
Italy looked down and shivered, "ve! What if we fall?"
Japan shook his head, "We won't fall."
England looked down, "This… doesn't seem very safe…"
France nodded, "You'd think, with all the technology in this country… they'd be able to make a decent bridge…"
.
'I thought the log made the forest seem more natural…'
"Hurry up!" Hungary yelled from the other side.
Prussia shrugged, "stop being a scaredy cat, let's just go."
England hissed, "That better not have been directed towards me!"
Prussia all but ran across the log, England chasing after him.
Italy gripped France's and Japan's sleeves. "Ve…."
.
The whole thing was like a maze.
A slightly strange maze at that.
Since when could you walk uphill on a log?
How does the log stay perfectly still?
Why are there so many giant logs when you see normal sized trees?
How did the log fall in such a way considering falling normally would not make the log be in such a place? (Logs are placed near the stumps, but falling in such a way doesn't seem rational or natural)
Why can't you just walk under the log?
Why were all the logs hollow?
.
England sighed, finding reason in games was like finding plot in a *****, the writers just didn't care. Not that… he would know….
Anyway!
.
They fought the plasma members, and continued on their way, Hungary leading the way.
"We go up one log, and down the next. Was there a point to that?" Prussia walked ahead of the group, feeling bored.
They walked through another logs, and into a clearing where a lone plasma member stood.
.
"These guys are idiots; they lead us straight to them."
Hungary shrugged, "who knows."
.
The man frowned, "a pursuer?"
"Like you didn't think we would chase you down." Prussia wondered how stupid these members were.
England sighed, "Why didn't the police just do it?"
'Good question…'
England tapped his finger on his chin, "moreover… shouldn't there be a police station in a town like this?"
'Ah….'
.
The man clutched his stomach, laughing.
"Uh, ha ha. A kid like you—beat some of us?"
He stopped laughing, putting on a confident smirk, "That can't be helped, but... I'll take you on now!"
"Big words for someone wearing a… reject space costume!"
'It looks like a combination of a space costume and a medieval costume to me.'
.
~Battle skip~
Plasmaaaa! If this keeps up, we won't save the pokemon!
.
Prussia stretched, "man that was easy."
England muttered angrily under his breath, "I had to save you from dying prick."
France yawned, "I'm rather tired…"
"We could go stay in the pokemon center once we finish this."
Italy rubbed his eyes, "ve… what time is it?"
Everyone checked their wrists or attempted to search for their cell phones.
.
Prussia pulled at his pants pockets (his hoodie having none) "sorry Ita-chan, I don't have my cell phone with me."
France hummed to himself, "nothing." He said pulling at his light brown pants pockets and the pockets of his navy jacket.
England looked at the sun, "hm... according to the sun… it should be around…"
Japan looked at the C-gear, "it's 4 pm Italy-kun."
England cursed, "How did it get so late already?"
"The time outside, in the real world affects this world." Japan said turning to look at the sky.
"Our bosses will worry!" England bit his lip, trying to think of a way to get out of here quickly…as well as an explanation for him being missing.
It wasn't like his boss would believe him if he told them that he was stuck in a children's game with the other nations… though, he supposed that Japan, Prussia, France, Italy, and Hungary would vouch for it…
He was sure his friends (his 'imaginary' friends) were worried too.
.
The man growled, "Fine! Take your stupid skull!"
"Like a child throwing a tantrum." England sighed
Japan, France, and Prussia all shared a look, knowing who England was thinking of as he said it.
.
[Kiku obtained the Dragon Skull!]
[Kiku put the Dragon Skull in the KEY ITEMS Case]
.
The man backed away, his head tilted down.
"So the dream our king had—the dream we had—won't come true…"
England and Prussia turned to see an old man walking towards them.
.
The old man studied the plasma member.
"How are you holding up, fellow subject of our king?'
The man turned, gasping in disbelief.
"Gorm of the Seven Sages!"
"What kind of name is Gorm?" Prussia yelled.
England coughed, "it's Irish."
.
"How do you know that?"
"I'm the United Kingdom you moron!" England hit Prussia upside the head.
.
"I'm mortified that this skull, which we went to so much trouble to obtain,"
France's brow rose, "all you did was take it no?"
"Was stolen from us so easily." He continued.
Prussia blinked, "You didn't have to give it back."
Hungary nodded, "And he could have just run when he saw us…"
'But if that happened, then the plot wouldn't progress…'
.
"It's not important." Gorm said.
"If it wasn't important, why'd you steal it?" Prussia pointed out.
"Fossils are rare, they can be sold on the black market you know." Hungary said.
'There's no such market in the game.'
.
"We can afford to abandon the Dragon Skull."
"See? Afford, that means he was going to sell it." Hungary said with a nod to herself.
Prussia shook his head, "no, he was obviously going to use it to destroy the world."
"According to the results of our research, this is not the legendary Pokemon for which Team plasma is looking. It is completely unrelated."
.
"Yeah, you forgot to steal the rest of it. I mean, what are you only going to do with a head?"
"How were they able to test it when they have just stolen it?" England paused.
"Moreover… they didn't even bother confirming to their underlings. If those are completely unrelated, then there was no point in stealing the skull."
France sighed, "Americans are stupid."
Hungary giggled, "They just aren't good at crime I guess."
.
Gorm glared at them, causing everyone to feel a chill down their spine.
"But we will not allow anyone to disrupt our plans and get away with it."
The sides of Gorm's mouth twitched upwards, "We will fix it so you never interfere with us again."
France, England and Prussia stepped up.
"Looking for a fight old man?" Prussia clenched his fist, standing in front of Italy and Hungary protectively.
"Is that a threat?" England asked, standing in front of Hungary and Japan.
"Gentlemen, can't we settle this civilly?" France looked over the old man, "I'd rather not hurt such a frail old man."
.
Burgh suddenly appeared, stopping beside Japan.
He smirked, "Sweet!"
"Hey aren't you supposed to guard the exit?"
Burgh didn't seem to hear Prussia.
"The bug pokemon were getting all worked up, so here I come, and what do I spy with my little eye?"
.
"What the hell is he saying?" Prussia gave Burgh a strange stare.
"ve… his fair is really fluffy…" Italy mumbled, looking at the brown… curls?
England glared at Burgh, "worst line ever."
France looked away, closing his eyes tightly, "why did he have to come back?"
England rolled his eyes, "Americas apparently only have a three second attention span."
.
"This important looking guy!" Burgh said with a smirk, oblivious to everyone else wincing.
"Are you here to help your friends, whom I defeated?"
England blinked, "since when did he fight anyone? We had to fight the members."
"He's taking the credit for our work!" Prussia yelled.
"Ah… no... I think he's trying to insult him…"
.
Lenora rushed up; stopping at Japan's left side.
"Kiku! Burgh!"
"Who's guarding the exit?"
She looked at the ground, "the others didn't have anything…"
She looked at the old man. "And who are you supposed to be?"
She paused, a thought occurring to her, "is this guy the big boss?"
"No he's the big cheese." Prussia said sarcastically.
"Prussia, that's the same thing." England pointed out.
"Yeah I know that."
.
Gorm cleared his throat, "I am one of the Seven sages of Team Plasma."
"You make it sound like an honor to be a part of a team of idiots"
"Ghetsis, another of the seven sages will liberate Pokemon with words alone!"
England's brow rose, "what? No divide and conquer strategy?"
Prussia laughed, "Well, they are old."
Japan decided to ignore that comment.
.
"The remainder of the Seven Sages have ordered their compatriots to take Pokemon with full force!"
"…well, I suppose that's a good reason… But why are you telling us this?" England asked.
"You know, because we can't stop it or something." Prussia said shrugging.
France sighed, "Americans are idiots."*
.
"But the odds are a little against us now."
"A little?" Hungary asked, somehow producing a frying pan.
"Seriously, where do you keep that?" Prussia hid behind England and France, just in case Hungary decided to hit him.
"To you, the Bug pokemon user Burgh and the normal pokemon user Lenora, I say…"
"Know your enemies, know yourself, and you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."
"Sounds like something China would say." Japan mumbled.
Prussia shrugged, "even if you know yourself and your enemies, you never know how it'll turn out."
England smiled just a bit, "For once, you are right."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"
.
"this time, we shall retreat quietly."
There was a slight pause as he looked at them, it felt like he was looking straight through them.
"To secure the liberation of Pokemon, we will steal pokemon from trainers!"
"This guy is weird."
"even though you are gym leaders, we will not tolerate any further obstruction from you."
"Or what? Are you going to kill them? Kidnap them?"
.
"Prussia-san, we don't say kill in games."
"This is a children's game Prussia, it wouldn't be a good idea to put kidnapping or killing in there."
Both Japan and England said at the same time.
.
Gorm smirked, "in any case, we will settle this someday."
He laughed, "I hope you are looking forward to that time as much as I…"
.
.
Prussia rubbed his eyes, and looked around, "w-what?"
Japan blinked and used his sleeve to wipe his eyes.
England put his hood back, "bloody bastards. Throwing dirt to blind us."
France brushed the dirt from his jacket, "How rude!"
Hungary lightly dabbed at italy's eyes, "open your eyes carefully Italy. There still might be some dirt there."
"Ve…" italy's eyes were just a bit watery,.
.
Lenora turned to face them, "they're a speedy bunch."
"they're a underhanded bunch." England grumbled yelping when Prussia grabbed his tail.
"oops! Sorry, can't see really well."
Prussia let go and rubbed his eyes, "ugh... it hurts."
.
England turned around and pulled Prussia's hands away, "Open your eyes, I'm going to try to blow it out alright?"
"Is this going to hurt?"
"Not at all."
.
After they all got the dirt out of their eyes, and feeling much better after doing so, they felt very tired.
.
"What are you going to do, Burgh? Are you going to chase them?"
"hm…" burgh closed his eyes thinking.
"We got back the stolen skull, and if we corner them, there's no telling what they might do."
He sighed, "I think I'll be heading back, Lenora…"
.
Burgh turned to Japan with a smile.
"well, now, Well… I'll be waiting for your challenge at Castelia's pokemon gym."
His smile grew, "yes, indeed. I'm certainly looking forward to it!"
Burgh walked away, returning back to his home.
.
Lenora turned to Japan.
"Kiku!"
"Y-yes?"
"you're holding the Dragon Skull you worked so hard to get back, right?"
.
[Kiku gave the Dragon Skull to Lenora!]
.
"so what was the point in getting it?"
'I wanted to read the item description actually…'
.
Lenora smiled, grateful and relieved.
"Kiku, thank you so much."
"with a kind trainer like you taking care of them, the pokemon with you must be happy."
.
Japan blushed and fidgeted, "h-happy?"
England flushed bright red, "u-um… t-that is…"
Prussia laughed and poked England's cheek, "Well it's not like you're sad right?"
France chuckled, "well, I certainly don't mind being in Japans' care."
Hungary nodded, "I don't mind."
"Ve~ Japan always takes care of me with Germany, so of course I'm happy! Ve~"
.
"here's a token of my gratitude. Please use it carefully!"
[Kiku obtained a Moon Stone!]
[Kiku put the Moon Stone in the ITEMS Case.]
.
"This is a Moon stone!"
Prussia decided not to question it since he was too tired.
He leaned on England, "Can we go to the pokemon center soon? I'm starving."
"Some pokemon evolve when you use this item on them."
"Now, I must take the Dragon Skull back to the Museum! See you! Take care of yourself!"
.
They watched as she left.
"Pokemon center?" Japan asked.
"pokemon center." They all agreed.
Prussia buried his head in England's shoulder, "I'm hungry!"
.
.
They headed back into the town; or, they wanted to. They had healed up, thanks to a nurse who was stationed near the entrance.
Of course, France tried to flirt with her, but to no avail.
.
But Japan told them the next town was not very far away, just past the forest and over a bridge.
Since they didn't have anything else to lose, they followed.
.
The group came out of the forest; they looked around in awe, completely stunned.
The small area they were currently in, was paved, small benches situated nearby.
A lamppost stood beside the benches.
There was a sort of gateway, to their left.
They scrambled around and looked at the bridge in the distance.
"That looks like…."
"That's one huge bridge!" Prussia yelled leaning over the railing.
"Ve! It looks so cool!"
"It's just a bridge." France mumbled.
.
After they had calmed down, they went through the gate way. The woman there had told them that if they crossed the Sky Arrow bridge, they would be able to get to Castelia City.
.
They walked up onto the bridge, cars driving underneath the (walking part of the) bridge.
"If they're cars down there, why can't we ride one?"
No seemed to hear Prussia.
.
"This bridge is quite long."
"Hey, I know. The one who gets there first gets to make the others do what he wants!" Prussia yelled.
Hungary's eye twitched, "oh, you don't think I can win?"
"You're wearing a dress! Of course I can win!"
Japan looked around, "um.. where did France-san go?"
They all looked around, freezing when they saw France's blonde hair disappearing into the distance.
.
England immediately took off, muttering about how he 'never agreed to it' and that France was 'probably thinking of perverted things.'
His hood flew down, his tail and ears exposed.
Hungary and Prussia looked at each other before taking off running as well.
They weren't about to lose.
.
Japan laughed nervously, "it looks like it's just me and you Ita-"
Italy started running, chasing after England, "Ve! Kitty!"
"I-Italy-kun!" Japan yelled after him.
He sighed, 'I'm too old for this.'
.
.
1st place- England
2nd-place- Italy
3rd place- France
4th place- Hungary and Prussia
Last place- Japan
.
They all panted heavily, either sitting down or leaning on something for support.
.
At first, England and France were neck and neck.
But then Italy came by…
Naturally, neither of the two knew what was going on but…
When England noticed the way Italy's hands were held, he ran as fast as he possibly could.
Italy chased him yelling "Kitty!"
Chasing after England faster than either of them thought to be possible.
.
Naturally, England ran even faster.
France, was stunned for a minute, but he quickly ran after them.
He wasn't going to lose.
.
Hungary and Prussia had run as fast as they could, but since they had a late start, they were quite a ways behind.
They were quite shocked when Italy ran past them and towards England and France.
They had assumed Italy was running away from something rather than be running towards them.
.
But the only one behind them was Japan.
Who happened to look very tired.
Hungary and Prussia decided to help Japan since it looked like he was going to fall further behind if they all ran to the exit.
.
.
England whined as Italy tugged on his tail, "Insult to injury…"
Italy giggled, "Ve~ England's a kitty!"
France looked at Italy, noting his large pink ears, and a curl taped to the other side of his head. A large fluffy tail sticking out.
Now… the question was… where did that tail stick out from?
He looked behind him to see his own, much shorter tail, thumping against the floor.
.
After they were all able to stand up on their feet, though England did stumble while doing so, they continued.
.
The city was… rather big.
.
"Skyscrapers!" Italy yelled in amazement.
"Okay, no offense to Nacrene, but why wasn't it like this?" Prussia said pointing at the huge buildings.
England looked at the map, "hm… harbors… perhaps we'll take a boat ride."
France smirked, "Oh? You're probably going to claim it and-"
England's tail smacked France in the face.
England looked at his tail, "well, this is rather useful."
France rubbed his cheek, "Why must yours be so long when my is short?"
Prussia laughed, "That's what he said."
.
England shook his head, his hand covering his face, "I'm surrounded by idiots."
.
.
They went to the pokemon center, too tired to walk anymore.
They moved the bookcase, and potted plant over to have more room.
As soon as they finished, they collapsed onto the soft cushions and fell fast asleep.
Italy and Hungary slept next to each other.
Prussia falling asleep sitting on a cushion with his head pillowed on his arms that lay on the glass table.
England curled up in the corner, his tail wrapping around himself.
France slept face down, in a spot between Prussia and England.
Japan fell asleep in the middle, a pleased smile on his face.
.
.
(Okay, there are chairs in Castelia pokemon center, but sleeping in a chair isn't always comfortable… and not always good for you)
.
* I occasionally say that americans are idiots.
As an American, I feel like, 'meh.'
Well, people are idiots, in general.
*yawn* then again, I love making jabs at my expense.
Another example of a love-hate relationship I suppose.
Any Americans, if you hate it so much… *shrug*
uh… tell me why?
.
Prussia- hey Tba. (Tba- puts book down* what?)
England- it's your birthday soon. (December 12)
Canada- are you going to do anything special? (Tba-… eat ice-cream cake and sleep.)
France- that's what you do everyday!
Tba- *shrug* none of my birthdays have ever been exactly exciting. Except when I was a baby. Chinese people only celebrate 'important' birthdays. Like, your 1st birthday, your 5th, and so on. ...and I DO NOT EAT CAKE EVERYDAY! (even though i really want to... *loves sweets*)
America- you sure you don't want to do something?
Tba- not really.
Japan- puts down mind-reading binoculars* she wishes to go ice skating with us.
Tba- blush* w-what? N-no I don't! (the type of person who is too shy to ask things like that)
Prussia- well, I am free so I guess I'll go.
America- I-ice skating? Its cold right? *rummages through Tba's closet* you need to bundle up.
England- I guess I'll go to keep those two in line…
France- yes, you need my expertise~
Canada- I'll go!
Tba- it's fine. I'm just going to stay home.
England- you'll need a lot of layers… *rummages through Tba's closet* don't you have any thicker sweaters?
Tba- uh… no?
France- well, we need to dress you up nice and warm or you'll catch a cold.
Tba- I'm staying home.
England- she's smaller, and thinner, so she needs more clothes to stay warm.
(Tba- ugh… *smaller/thinner/shorter/more fragile looking/etc*)
Russia- you can use my scarf.
Tba- thanks Russia, but I'm staying home.
Poland- like, and she needs to look cute! She always covers up.
Tba- ….. Its winter, why wouldn't you cover up?
Poland- we're gonna pick a totally cute outfit for you!
Tba- I'M STAYING HOME. AND I AM NOT CUTE!
Everyone- you don't want spend time with us?
Tba- ….. *sigh* I'll think about it.
Italy- ve~ that's great! (Germany- that's… good.)
Romano- I don't know how to ice skate! (Canada- I do~)
America- I know a little.
England- it's rather easy once you get the hang of it.
Prussia- the awesome me doesn't know, but when I learn I'll be awesome at it!
Russia- smile* then we're all going… right Lithuania?
Lithuania- y-yes Russia….
Tba- sigh* yeah yeah. Geez, its my birthday, can't I relax?
America- wouldn't you rather spend time with us? Your friends?
Tba- sigh* I guess…
Prussia- what's with that half-hearted response?
Tba- bye guys.
