hey guys! Its-a me Lyra (great refererence. Still her dad is not specified in the games so maybe...franchise shipping!) No really its me AnnaWookie. I am sorry, i am feeling a little random today. Ok so here's chapter 14 of my fanfiction. i cannot believe i am at Chapter 14 already. I never thought when i was typing the first chapter it would ever get as popular as it is. I owe it all to you guys. Thank you all for being so loyal to both me and my Fanfiction. You have helped me improve my story in the early stages and get cross at me if i write to out of character or surreal. I give you permission. I seriously do mean it when i say i get exited when i see a new review has been posted. I realise how soppy that all sounds but i do mean it. Moving on i have decided i dislike Will temporarily. Shock Horror i dislike one of my most important characters. Heres why i am annoyed. I was training up my level 1 Frosslass by running through the elite four. i was battling Will and all was well until most of his attacks were critical hits. I ended up with my Frosslass and my level 100 Arceus left. Guess what, through a series of epic fails on arceus's part and criticals on Will's i lost. How can you lose with a level 100 against something in the 60's? But i did. Mind you i don't actually hate Will. How can i when he's standing there in his awesome room wearing his amazing hg/ss costume. Anyway rant over heres the next chapter hope you like it. remember review and make me happier!
"Morning Anna, how are you this bright and sunny evening. I hope you weren't up all night or you will be so tired" Bruno teased. I did my best to ignore him.
"Good morning Bruno, how's the chill out room coming along, it is still incinerated?" I answered back lightly. Two could play at that game.
"Yeah yeah, ok we are sort of even I guess. Teasing aside I came to find you. I want to ask you something" Bruno said suddenly serious.
"Oh ok what's up?" I replied, curious why he felt I would know the answer.
"Well. Its kinda hard to say. Ummm…" Bruno trailed off.
"Anna, though you are a foreigner, I have always secretly loved you and now in the Plateau's garden I will finally propose to you" I said overdramatically, trying to lighten the mood so Bruno would gain confidence enough to ask me his question before I died of Hypothermia.
The vast man laughed. "Yes because that's exactly what I was gonna ask" He laughed, before his face become serious. "No really, How do you know if you love somebody?"
I paused thinking. "You're asking me how you can tell if you're in love right?" I asked. Bruno nodded eagerly.
"Well…..ummm….I don't actually know Bruno…sorry" I admitted sheepishly. Bruno's jaw dropped
"What! But you and Will? How can you not know!" he exclaimed.
"Err well, I just do. I suppose you feel warm inside when you see that person. They can make you smile, frustrated and cheer you up like no one else can. If you would give up everything to be with them too, I guess that's a sign. Why do you ask?"
"No reason, just curious really." Bruno said quickly taking a step back.
"Why did you ask me, surely Karen is a better person to ask seeing as she lusts after a different man each day" I pointed out.
"Dunno thought you would be less likely to give a long winded speech" Bruno said, seeming slightly flustered. Murmuring something about needing to find Hitmontop before it ate too many biscuits, Bruno dashed off.
I shook my head, confused by Bruno's strange behaviour. He was up to something. It appeared I wouldn't have to wait long to find out the cause. About a week later, Bruno was missing all day.
"Where is he!" Lance exclaimed.
"It is dinner time, so its unlike Bruno to be missing" I added, feeling slightly worried about his abrupt disappearance.
"Oh Bruno where are you?" Karen said, gazing out thee window for any signs of movement. The door opened and Koga and Will entered.
"Any signs of the human vacuum cleaner?" Koga asked, grabbing a carton of orange juice from the table.
Lance shook his head. "Nothing."
"Maybe Brawly from the Hoenn region has came to visit him?" Will suggested. Somehow we all doubted that.
Just as we were all about to start ringing the police over the whereabouts of the Elite trainer, the door flew open and in entered Bruno.
"Bruno! You're home!" Karen exclaimed, relieved.
"Hey guys I want to introduce you guys to my new friend." Bruno said glancing back outside the kitchen. In walked a pink haired female. She wore a red vest, sandals and the shortest black skirt I had seen.
"Hello, my name's Lola." she said casting a glance across us all. We all were speechless at the arrival of this strange person in our kitchen.
"Why don't you both sit down" Lance finally said. "Karen go get another plate for our guest please" He instructed. Karen sharply got to her feet and stalked out to the kitchen. She cast a critical glance at the dragon master as she passed.
"Bruno could you show me the where toilet is?" Lola asked. Bruno led his apparent girlfriend off down the hall.
"Well look at her" Koga said simply.
"Why don't you all put your tongues in, you may trip on them" I said sharply glancing at them all critically.
"I haven't said anything" Will pointed out, sensing my and Karen's irritation at them. "You don't need to Will" I retorted.
"I was only being polite, we can hardly turn her away at this time of night. Especially as she is Bruno's girlfriend" Lance stated.
"I agree with Anna. I tell you, I will have no guilt in throwing her out!" Karen said putting the plate down rather violently.
"You both don't know her yet. I am sure you both would love another girl to do whatever girls do." Koga said. Karen did a slitting throat gesture in response. At that point Bruno came back with Lola so we all immediately hushed up. That evening dinner was eaten in relative silence.
After tea, we went to the garden while Bruno sorted Lola out with accommodation.
"Rapidash Flame Wheel" I commanded. Rapidash surged forwards, a ball of flames forming round her.
"Aerodctyl, Fly" Lance commanded. The dinosaur glided upwards before slamming violently into Rapidash.
"I win" the champion said simply.
"This time" I added. Returning the fire horse to its ball, I couldn't shake the idea that Lola looked slightly familiar.
"Nearly beat him" Will said.
"Yeah, nearly." I said thoughtfully.
"Have you come round to the idea of Bruno's girlfriend yet?" Koga asked. "No. I have nothing against her or anything, it just seems a little strange." I stated. "Are you both feeling jealous of her?" Will asked playfully. Karen gagged from across the patio.
"No! Its not that at all, I aren't a jealous person. I'm not bothered if you all have the hots for someone who wears too little clothing and makes herself seem easy. I just don't want her to blind you if she is up to no good." I retorted defensively. Karen strode across to us with her Murkrow perched on her shoulder.
"I understand your concern Anna. I just really hope that idiot of a trainer Bruno sees through her if she is trying to cause trouble." she said, emphasizing her anger at Bruno.
"If she is causing trouble or trying to harm any of us I will waste no time in getting rid of her, I promise" Lance said calmly. I felt so reassured that Lance's gaze lingered on me the longest when he spoke of harming people. It appeared he had such high expectations of me. Lance picked up on it.
"Don't worry Anna, you are a far more important priority to me than Bruno's latest attention seeking lover." I smiled.
"Keep talking Lance, I am starting to feel better already."
"Its not that we are lusting after her you two, its more we were as surprised by her as you both were." Will said.
"I know, I guess I am just worried we have lost Bruno." Karen admitted. Lance and Koga consoled her.
"To be fair I think she is rather attractive even if you two don't admit it." Lance and Will shot him a warning glance.
"She's younger than Janine Koga!" Lance pointed out. Koga said something about not ever losing hope under his breath.
Will reached over and took my hands. "Remember my words "No matter how infuriated you make me feel at times or how much you may hate me, I promise you Anna I will protect you and shall always care about you." I did mean them." Will said gently. "If I didn't I wouldn't be hear would I? instead I would be in the plateau with Lola."
"I know Will. I can always count on you." I paused for a few seconds. Lowering my voice to almost a whisper I leant forwards.
"Do they-" I gestured behind me. "-know about your -" I paused and made a zigzag in the air in front of my face. Will looked at me bemused for a moment before realising I was referring to his scar.
"No, well Lance sort of assumes but I haven't actually told any of them." he answered quietly.
"I feel so special now" I exclaimed smiling.
"Yeah something like that" Will mumbled. I leant against him contentedly.
"Hey Anna!" Karen called shyly. " I pivoted to face her.
"yeah?"
The dark trainer looked at me and sighed.
"I think you were right when you first came to join us at the Indigo Plateau. I think I really am in love with Bruno" she admitted. I nodded, relieved she had finally openly admitted it to herself.
"Well then I guess we need to do something about Bruno's current infatuation don't we, eh Karen" Will said. Karen looked at him before rushing over kissing his cheek.
"Oh my gosh! Sorry Anna, I forgot for a second." Karen quickly apologised. I smiled at her and shrugged.
"I don't mind, It might do him good" I joked. Will, who was in a state of semi shock, looked at Lance.
"Well I think we need to come up with a plan." the dragon master stated.
Koga grinned. "I believe Operation Rescue Bruno is up and running."
