Chapter 21: The Barbeque
"I was wondering where you guys were, I didn't see you at first!" Birch chuckled.
"Yeah same here professor! But it's cool uh, we're all here now so we can go ahead and go see my mom and all now...heheh." I tried to rush him to avoid getting into an akward conversation with Sabrina and all.
"Ah yes." The professor turned around and began walking towards the crowd of people. "Follow me gentlemen."
I nodded, before Frank, the girls and I had all begun to follow close behind him. We had walked a bit, trying to ease our way through the crowd for several minutes before finally arriving up to the very front of the gym where Surge and all the others were.
"Hey there they are!" My mom pointed straight at us, getting the attention of Miss Connie and Frank's uncle as well.
"Hey mom." I waved lightly, slowly beginning to free my hand from Ranie's in order to avoid any further confrontations for the time being.
"Oh my, well look at you now miss gorgeous! You're much taller since I last saw you!" My mom gave Ranie a hug, which kinda made me shoot her a weird look. I knew my mom liked Ranie and all because she was my pokemon but she had never hugged her or called her anything before like that.
Ranie couldn't help but to smile at her. "Thanks miss Tracy it's good to see you too." She whispered.
Frank's mom had done the same for Angie, complimenting her and whatnot on her evolution, causing the both of us to look at each other, utterly confused as hell.
"There ya are Frankie! You guys want a hot dog?" Surge pointed to a table full of all sorts of food. Barbequed chicken, hot dogs, burgers, steaks, you name it.
"Uh...are we limited to just hot dogs?" Frank joked.
"Hah yeah right. You guys eat as much as you want!" Surge gave us a thumbs up.
"Don't mind if we do!" I said.
Frank and I immediately shot over towards the table of food, grabbing at least one of everything. Dawn, Lyra and May were already ahead of us getting a bite to eat as well. He and I had each grabbed an extra hot dog for Ranie and Angie to try as well.
"Angie, you have got to try my uncle's hot dogs. The are literally the greatest." Frank said, presenting to hot dog to Angie.
She took it into her paw and sniffed it a bit, before trying it, and of course loving it. "Oh wow this is good! I should have kind of known though, so far you guys haven't given us anything that tasted bad."
"Well that's cause Hayden and I definitely know good food! Just wait until you guys try sushi with us!" Frank exclaimed.
"Heh you know it man. Hell we can go tomorrow if you want and go grab some sushi with them." I said, stuffing a bit of my hot dog into my mouth.
"Sounds good to me. I'm sure they'll love it." Frank smiled.
I grabbed the second hot dog from my plate and handed it to Ranie. "Here you go Ranie, try this."
Ranie had seemed to be in another world. She always looked like she was thinking so hard lately and I couldn't figure out why.
"Ranie?" I said holding the hot dog a little closer to her face.
"Oh y-yeah. Sorry." She lightly took the dog from my hand and slowly began to nibble at it, instantly forming a little smiled on her face when she took the first bite.
"Heh, told you it was good." I turned back around towards Professor Birch. "So anyways, where's Chris and Ian?"
"Oh I think May and Dawn just walked over and talked to them actually. They're right over there." He pointed.
"Ah there they are, cool." I began walking towards them with Frank following close behind.
"Wow Chris, I gotta say he seems like a pretty impressive pokemon!" May stated.
"Yours too Ian! Man Hayden and Frank are gonna flip when they see these guys that's just way too crazy of a coincidence!" Dawn exclaimed.
"I know right! When I first ran into Jay here, there was no way I was passing up the opportunity of a battle with a pokemon this rare!" Chris patted his pokemon on the back.
"Hah yeah yeah man. I still think Tank here could take him on. You know he's tough as hell!" Ian chuckled.
"Yeah maybe one day we'll se-" Chris had finally caught attention of Frank and I walking up. "Oh shit there they are!"
"Haha hey what's up g-" I had suddenly noticed that Chris and Ian had actually had some pokemon with them of their own, which wouuldn't have surprised me too much if it weren't for the types of pokemon they had. "Chris...you have a Gallade dude? Seriously...that's crazy."
"And Ian has...a Lopunny? That's crazy weird bro!" Frank laughed.
"Yep sure do!" Ian smiled.
"Hah I know man isn't it! Yo by the way, May and Dawn were telling the two of us a while back...you guys play guitar and stuff?" Chris asked.
"Yup. I play guitar and scream, and Frank plays drums and sings." I smirked.
"Hayden actually sings too, he's just too much of a baby to ever show it." Frank chuckled.
"Seriously?" Dawn shot me a look. "You told us you couldn't sing because you sucked at it! I would have loved to hear you sing too!"
"Hey I'm sorry jeez! I just think Frank sings much better so I don't really do it much I just handle the screams!" I stuck my tongue out at her.
"Well, I would definitely like to hear it one day." Dawn smiled.
"Anyways dude, I was gonna say that it was awesome because I scream too! And I play the bass as well, while Ian here plays guitar like you." Chris had seemed really excited about the whole ordeal.
"Dude no way! We have got to jam out sometime!" I gave a thumbs up.
"You know you guys should all practice together sometimes and enter that talent show or whatever that's coming up in a few months in Cerulean!" Dawn exclaimed.
"I...I've never been much to play in front of people." I looked towards Dawn and May. "You should know that from when we first played for you guys!"
"Aw come on, it would be great seeing you all play!" May gave Frank and I puppy dog eyes. "Please?"
"Alright aright, we'll consider it okay? Maybe it would be kind of fun." I smiled.
"Did we mention that the winner of the talent show gets 100000 poke'?" Dawn smirked.
I had to do a double take on that one. "Uh...did you just say the amount that I think you said?"
"That I did." She giggled.
Frank and I both looked towards the other guys and smiled. "So uh...I'm thinking that we need to start practicing like...real soon!" I laughed.
"Shit dude...that's 25k each!" Frank exclaimed.
"Hah yeah man I'm totally down for that!" Ian chuckled.
Chris looked towards my pokemon when he finally came around to noticing her."Woah, is that Ranie dude?"
"But of course." I smiled.
"That the same one then for you I'm assuming then? It was...Angie...right?" Chris looked towards Frank.
"Yessir." He gave a thumbs up.
"Good deal man. That's great seeing you guys still with the same pokemon. By the way, Dawn and May told me and Ian about the little...specialty that they had as well." Chris looked back towards me. "Is it true? Can they really talk dude?"
"Yes we can." Angie smiled.
Chris and Ian's eyes both grew twice the size they had been before. Both of them looked at Ranie as well now.
"Uhh...we can talk." Ranie giggled.
"Yo...that is so cool man. I wish Tank could talk like that! It'd be so easy to talk to him...but I guess talking to Tank through Jay works just as good!" Ian was clearly astounded.
"No kidding man...wow. I mean don't get me wrong, Jay here can talk telepathically and all...but not aloud like that. You guys are lucky dude!" Chris laughed.
"Yeah man...we sure are." I smiled.
But...hey, now that they're all fully evolved pokemon and stuff...maybe one day we can breed Ranie and Jay here!" Chris' pokemon had smiled when he had said that.
It honestly just pissed me the fuck off. Though there wasn't much I could say about it.
"And we could have Tank here Breed with Angie! What if we started to breed some talking pokem on or something from all this? Wouldn't that be cool guys? " Ian exclaimed.
"Uhh..." Frank trailed off.
"Uhh...I'm not sure if Angie or Ranie would like that." I could feel the protective side of me start to kick in hard.
Chris had a small hint of dissappointment in his voice. "Aw come on man how come? It's only natural to breed pokemon. Plus I've been wanting to become a pokemon breeder all my life. It would be great to have one of my good friends pokemon to-"
"I just don't think they'd want to Chris, I dunno man." I tried my hardest to keep my composure. I could see that Frank had been getting a little agitated as well.
Chris didn't seem to want to give up that easily. "Come on Hayden maybe we could just try? Let's see how the pokemon feel about it and maybe-"
I couldn't hold back anymore. "I SAID NO CHRIS, FUCK!"
They all shot me a look. I had never once gotten angry like this in front of my friends...especially towards them. Almost instantly, I was already feeling like shit for it.
"Uhhh..." Chris just looked around confused as hell.
"Chris...dude...I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean it like that. Look I, I was just a little stressed out today for some stuff that happened that's all, I didn't mean to yell like that. I'm sorry." I felt really bad.
"Uh...nah man it's cool really. I can understand we all have our days ya know?" Chris scratched his head a bit. "Anyways you guys, Ian and I were about to go grab some more hot dogs and talk to professor Oak a bit, so be right back."
"Alright man cool." I smiled.
A voice could suddenly be heard in Angie's head. "Angie, I think you and I should go talk to chris."
Angie had hung her head down a bit when Ranie told her that. "I-I know we do. Come on."
Angie and Ranie had begun to walk towards Chris and Ian, catching me and Frank's attention rather quickly. "Where are you going?" I asked.
"Angie?" Frank looked just as confused.
"Uh..w-we were just gonna go and grab some food, that's all." She lied.
"Oh uh...okay?" Frank cocked his head back a bit.
"Ooooooookkkay. Weird." I thought.
The girls had been over by Chris and Ian for over twenty minues now. They were just...talking. I couldn't figure out why, but it but a bad feeling in my gut for whatever reason.
"Hayden?"
"Man...what could they be over there talking about?" I thought. "It's crazy but I feel so wierd about it."
"Earth to Hayden?" Frank chuckled, waving his hand in front my face.
"Oh shit, sorry man I was...thinking. Sorry." I looked down to the ground and pondered a bit. "Yo...Frank...what do you think they really went over there for? I didn't see them ever get any food."
"Hmm...yeah you're right. I dunno man. Maybe they were going to at first and just sparked up a converstion ya know?" Frank suggested.
"Hm. Yeah. Probably so. I dunno I guess I was just-"
"There you are!" That same familiar voice from before shouted.
"Fuck, could this get any worse?" I thought. "Uh, hey again Sabrina."
"Ladies, could I have a moment please?" Sabrina looked towards the other girls.
They all just shrugged before walking over to where the others were.
"Uh...something up Sab-"
"I totally figured it out! You can't lie to me Hayden I'm a psychic. I can tell when something is up." She smirked.
I could feel my eyes getting wider by the second. "Piss on my life right now dude..."
She smirked even harder. "I know why you were holding your pokemon's hand! I thought about it for a while, and I got it. You were holding your pokemon's hand because..."
"Oh shit, not good." Frank thought.
I just stood, frozen still, awaiting for her to call me out completely.
"Because..." She continued.
"Sabrina...please...I..."
"Because you were using your Gardevoir to distract me from the fact that you're with that Dawn girl or whatever!" She folder her arms. "All you had to do was tell me ya know. I mean...it really sucks but...It's good that you're happy at least." A smile smile formed across her face.
"Uh...yes? Sorry about that, I guess?" A huge wave of relief had rushed over me.
"It's...it's okay. Maybe one day I'll get a chance I guess." She giggled a bit before looking up to me. "I'll be hoping for that." She winked at me, before turning and walking back into the crowd.
"Oh my God dude...I thought you were done for man." Frank let out a huge breath of relief.
"Dude...how you think I feel right now?" I shot Frank a look. "*Sigh* At least we're still good. Come on, let's go join the girls and all."
"Right." Frank followed behind me.
[Over By The Food]
"I think that would be a really cool experiment gentlemen!" Oak exclaimed.
"I know! Aw man this will be so cool to see the outcome! Who knows what could happen!" Chris followed.
"Uhh...maybe that's not such a good idea guys." May looked at Chris, a tad worried.
Chris jokingly pouted a bit. "Aw come on, they should be glad to know that their pokemon agre-"
"I don't think you should tell them Chris. Seriously...just trust me on this one. Let it go." May folded her arms.
"Come on dude why? I don't see what's the big deal about-"
"We'll tell them." Angie's voice cracked a bit.
The three girls looked towards each other, then back at the pokemon before May finally stepped forward. "Chris...Ian...Professor can you all excuse us for a second?"
"Uh...sure? I guess so. Come on Jay let's go see what Surge is up to." Chris began heading towards the gym doors.
"Alright." Jay followed him closely, Tank and Ian tailed behind them with the Professor as well.
"Ranie...Angie...are...are you two really sure about this?" May asked, clearly concerned.
"You two can't seriously be considering this can you?" Dawn followed.
The two pokemon just looked to each other with sad looks upon their faces, before letting out a long exasperated sigh, turning back to face the girls. "I-I'm afraid so Dawn. It's the right thing to do." Ranie said in a low voice.
"You say that...but does it REALLY feel right? In your hearts? Come on you two...think about this." Said May.
"I-I don't..." Ranie was lost in thought.
"You know we're only trying to help you." Dawn put a hand on their shoulders.
"We know...but...i-it's decided...I'm sorry." Angie looked away in dissappointment.
Dawn nodded lighty, feeling a bit upset for the whole situation. "*Sigh*...I understand...you know that they're not going to take it very w-"
"Alright guys we're back." Said Frank.
The girls all just stared at Frank and I. They had all looked sad for some reason. "Everything okay girls?" I asked.
"Yeah! Everything's cool. It's all coolio. Ice cool." May blurted nervously.
"Uh...k then?" I shook my head and giggled a bit at their behavior. "So what were you guys over here talking ab-"
"Hayden...can we go home please? Angie and I are...really tired." Ranie lied.
"Aww already?" I pouted.
"Yes...please." She looked like something was seriously bothering her.
"Uh...alright then. That's cool." I turned around and whistled as loud as I could. "Yo Drake! Finn! Come on guys we're gonna head home a little early!"
In no time the two could be seen taking to the air, before landing right beside us. "You rang?" Drake smirked.
"Someone call for me?" Finn added.
"Yeah yeah, come on smartasses." I chuckled before climbing upon Drake's back.
"Can you girls please tell my uncle and the professors and all that we had to go kinda in a hurry please?" Frank asked, climbing upon Finn's back.
They didn't even answer back. They all had their heads down, just looking away. Something was seriously wrong with all of this, and it really began to bother me.
Frank gave me a confused look, before lookng to the girls once more. "Girls? Can you please-"
"Yeah...we'll tell them for you." May said in a very...depressed voice.
"We'll see you guys soon. Call us later tonight." Dawn didn't even look up at us.
"Uh later tonight? Why what's-" Frank trailed off.
"Trust me...I just have a feeling that you'll consider it." Dawn began to walk off with Lyra and May.
Frank and I didn't even know what to think. He just looked at me like he was ready to try and say something else, though I just kinda gave him a gesture letting him know to just let it go. Angie had hopped on to Finn's back as well, facing away from Frank, which was...wierd. I lowered my hand towards Ranie, smiling, waiting for her to take it...but she didn't. She just...hopped upon to Drake's back. She didn't even look at me.
"Man what the heck is going on..." I thought to myself.
[Hayden's House]
After about 30 minutes of flying we had all finally come to Pallet Town, landing just short of mt doorstep.
"Alright we're here." I said stepping off of Drake's back, offering my hand up to Ranie once more...and once again, failing.
Frank and Angie had already been on the ground. Frank took his pokeball into his hands. "Alright buddy, catch you some rest man." Frank opened the pokeball, returning Finn back inside.
"Come on Drake, you too buddy get some rest." Drake just simply nodded at me as I returned him to his pokeball. "Man...I tell you what, I could definitely go for jamming out right now."
"No kidding. It's been a while since we played some music dude." Frank smirked.
"Music?" Angie asked.
"Uh yeah...Hayden plays the guitar and screams while I play the drums and sing." Said Frank.
Angie perked up a little surprisingly. "Oh you meant like singing and stuff? I didn't know you guys could sing!"
Ranie shot Angie a look. "Angie...did you forget about what we have to do?"
"Oh...right...sorry..." Angie instantly went back to that sad feeling that she had before.
"Uh yeah...basically music is just singing but playing instruments at the same time alog with it." I tried the best to explain it to them. "Frank is really the only one who sings though. I scream...which it's not like screaming like I'm mad it's...like..."
"How about we just show them dude? Maybe it'll cheer them up a bit?" Frank suggested.
"Hey...that's not a bad idea you know. I don't mind playing in front of them honestly. I...actually feel comfortable with it." I smiled.
"Yeah same here man. Well shall we then?" Frank raised an eyebrow.
"Actually...guys, we...we need to talk to you about something...important." Ranie made it sound like something was bothering her.
"Alright...but first we want to play you a song okay! We want to cheer you guys up!" I gave her a thumbs up.
"Come on girls follow us!" Frank and I began walking over towards the music room.
"*Sigh...I guess...we can just tell them after then." Ranie could feel tons of emotions going through her head...it really wasn't good for her.
"I guess so...I hope they aren't going to hate us for this..." Angie began slowly following us along with Ranie at her side.
[In The Music Room]
I began to put my guitar on while Frank grabbed pair of drumsticks from his drum bag. Once we had gotten all situated, I had walked over towards him to discuss what song we would play.
"Alright man...I kinda want to hit them with a really good song. Preferably something that...I dunno..." I pondered a bit.
"Maybe has to do with how they feel right now?" Frank suggested.
"Bingo...but...do you think they'll understand everything and what it means and stuff?" I asked.
"Hmm...I don't see why not. But...what song could we play? There's so many good ones." Frank began to ponder a bit as well.
"Hmm...wait..." I snapped my fingers. "Got it!"
"Are you thinking of the one I'm thinking of?" Frank smirked.
"Hah...I think that I am good sir." I smirked back.
"Heh...but you know you'll have to sing too." Frank chuckled.
"Aw come on man, I was just gonna scream and leave all the singing to you like always. I don't like doing both it kinda makes me feel like I'm leaving you out." I tried to fight my way out of it.
"Dude I could care less if I can't scream. You can do both man, you know you sing good too." Frank folded his arms.
"Yeah but not as good as you." I raised my eyebrow.
"...Fine. If that's the case...how about we just do 'We'll Sleep When We're Dead?" Frank suggested.
"Hmm...that's actually a really good choice, little easier on me too. It kinda fits eveything that's going on right now as well...let's do it man." I turned my amp on and cranked it up a bit, turning my mic on right after.
Frank got into a comfortable position before pulling his microphone down closer to his face. "Okay, you two ready?"
Ranie and Angie jumped a bit and looked around at their surroundings. "Frank...how did you..." Angie was still looking around the room.
"It's just the microphone. It's connected to all of those speakers on the wall. It's so you can hear better over the guitar and all when we sing and stuff." Frank explained.
"I thought Hayden didn't sing?" Ranie asked.
"Well I usually dont like to. but Frank made me on this one." I said, before strumming a few chords on my guitar making sure it was tuned correctly.
"...It...just makes that one sound?" Angie questioned.
We would be here all night if we had to explain every little detail to them. It was kind of cute though, with them being a little clueless as to how this all worked. "Heh...just watch girls." I looked over to Frank. "Ready when you are."
"Alright man, just hit that first note, I'll follow." Frank got his drumsticks ready.
"Alright...here goes." I had hit the first note on my guitar, cueing the intro.

[Outro]
"Whoo! Good job man!" I high fived Frank, panting a bit.
"Yeah definitely man! That was great!" Frank said as he put his drumsticks up. "So what did you girls think."
There was no response. The two pokemon just stood dead still for a good minute. Both looked like they were ready to break any moment.
And apparently all it took was for Frank to speak again. "Hey girls...are you two alrig-"
"Frank...I-I'm so s-sor-ry." Angie began to cry.
All I had to do was look at Ranie, and she followed right behind. "Hayden I-I'm sorry I d-didn't w-wanna hurt y-you.."
"Woah woah! Girls what's going on you didn't hurt us! You didn't do anyt-" I was cut short.
"Hayden..." Ranie began to calm down the best that she could. Angie on the other hand wasn't doing so hot. "When we we're talking to Chris earlier...w-we told him that...t-that..."
I just cocked my head back a bit and looked at Frank, who was clearly just as dumbfounded as I was.
"*Sigh*...We told him that...we accepted his proposal...with Jay and Tank. We...we're going to go with them..." Ranie looked away from me.
"W...what the hell are you trying to say Ranie? You gonna go fuck some other pokemon just cause he's the same type as you?" I was starting to feel really depressed. The thought of my girlfriend sleeping with someone else...I didn't even want to begin to think of it.
"*Sigh it's not like that Hayden. It's like you said...pokemon are meant to be with pokemon. Just...to carry on the species and everything...I guess." Ranie shrugged.
"See? You don't even know what you're saying right now!" I was in utter disbelief at the way this was all going. "Ranie...is...is this some kind of sick joke? Because it's not even remotely f-"
"Do you think I would joke about this Hayden?! Do I look like I'm joking?!" She yelled at me, eyes swelling up with tears. "Just...please try to understand! We're just holding you back! You can't even tell people that you're with us and that's keeping you from being happy I know it!" She turned around towards her sister and away from me. "I'm sorry Hayden..."
I looked at Frank once more to make sure I wasn't having some kind of crazy nightmare...and for once I wish that I was. Because this was all really happening...
"Angie...Ranie...please...tell me that you two aren't serious." Frank's voice becan to crack a bit.
Angie just looked up to Frank, before running to him and giving him a quick hug, then turning around towards the door. Ranie followed right behind her.
"Ranie please! You can't be serious!" I could feel the tears threaten to escape from my eyes. This just could not really be happening. There was no way I could accept this.
"I'm sorry Hayden...but...this is the right thing to do...it's just like you said...pokemon aren't meant to be with their trainers...it's wrong. And...we're only holding you back from being truly happy..." Ranie never even once looked up at me.
"You two aren't holding anyone back! Frank and I have NEVER been this happy ever! Please don't do this!" Oh the tears were so ready to come out now.
"I don't give a flying fuck about it being wrong!" Frank shouted. "Screw whatever we said before forget that shit! It may be wrong in the eyes of others but niether of us care because it isn't wrong in our eyes!" Frank looked away and closed his eyes as hard as he could. I could see that my best friend was trying his hardest to stay strong, as was I. "Please...I-I love you A-Angie..." Frank almost completely broke down as he said that last bit.
She just turned and looked to him for a split second, before running out the door, with Ranie close behind her.
"Ranie...please...d-don't leave me..." I could begin to feel the hot tears slowly stream down my cheek.
She stopped only for a split second, her hand on the door. "I'm...sorry Hayden...I never wanted to hurt you. Ever...g...goodbye..." She shut the door lightly.
Nothing but the fast paced beating of me and my best friend's hearts could be heard now. It was so quiet that it was maddening. I could feel nothing anymore. Nothing but the constant flow of small tears trickling down my cheek every now and then. I hated crying, and so did Frank...but there was no way that we weren't going to after something like this. I felt like my whole life had just been taken from me in an instant.
"H-Hayden...are they seriously..."
I could see his eyes grow redder and redder, but there was nothing I could do now. "Y...yeah Frank..." I turned back towards the door that I very quickly had grow to hate now. "T...They're gone...they're really gone..." In an instant, the small stream of tears that been flowning down my cheek, had turned into waterfalls.
Man...so this was kind of a sad chapter as you can see, but I had to throw some emotional stuff in here as well otherwise it would be a good story! Now...I know most of you...probably want to shoot me right now, but I assure you, just keep reading. Everything is going to come into play in due time. Just be patient :)
As always please continue to R&R as always! Every little bit of feedback helps! I really appreciate all of it you guys, thank you.
Stay awesome guys!
