CHAPTER 25:

Italy was in his lab early, taking a shot of rum, as he called up Lysander. Once he did pick up, Lysander was looking tired and out of energy. He asked, "Don't you know I'm still *yawn* sleeping here?"

Italy nodded, "Yeah, and I'm drinking. Question."

"Yes?"

"Do you know this group called the Iron Syndicate?"

"Oh… fuck. Don't tell me you bumped into them?"

"No, I was invited to their dinner under some magic terms, but I did my own lie session on them."

Lysander now got his energy, "Italy, you dumbass, Dahara city isn't a place you can go. I can't go there or else I'll get executed, and you think that getting invited to dinner…"

"I insulted the black piece of shit, and everyone around him, and thought of attempting to shoot Clement between the eyes, but I missed my chance."

The man slapped himself, "Italy… you stupid asshole. You basically just signed a death note!"

"Well, I told him that basically if he attempts to kill me, he's gonna get nuked."

"Nuked!? The hell, you'll basically destroy an entire city!"

"So?"

"So?! You're already under a lot of suspicious eyes and now you want to show everyone you're insane?!"

"Says the one who attempted to kill everyone yourself, but yeah, I'm as bad as I could possibly be."

"Ok, fine, I guess when you compare that… but don't forget my plan failed and yours seems to succeed and usually wind up making a mess of everything."

"Yes, an example?"

"Nuking forests, oceans, and your most famous of destroying the temple?"

"So? Nobody wanted the scrolls I offered, and they got what they wanted… a huge explosion to simulate the creation of everything."

"Yes… fascinating… go fuck yourself."

And it turned off. Italy shrugged, "Ya try to impress 'em, they keep surpressin'."

(At Yugo's camp)

Yugo just woke up and realized still what he had to deal with. He had both Ghezirha and Reeka in their balls, but he was thinking of giving Ghezirha to Rebecca or Judas because he swore that Reeka was going to kill Ghezirha. Why was his biggest concern and better yet, how would he manage it?

He took a deep breath and opened up Ghezirha's ball. She was still bruised from last night, but she yawned loudly, then opened her tired eyes to see Yugo. She smiled, "Morning Yugo."

Yugo nodded, "Morning, you ok?"

She nodded. "What happened last night? You and Reeka must've been some kind of fight and… from what Reeka was doing…"

Ghezirha said softly, "She… tried to… k-kill…"

"Oh shit. Oh shit… what was that fight about?"

"I don't want to…"

Yugo got stern, "Hold on, if it weren't for Eriktar, you'd be dead, I want to know what it was about or we'll have Eriktar tell me."

Ghezirha took in her own deep breath and said, "Ok… but promise not to be angry?"

"I promise."

"Really?"

"Yes, I do."

"O-ok… you see... me and Reeka were fighting over… wh-who gets you…"

"Oh, so basically alpha female bullshit, ok, ok."

"W-well… no. It's just that… we both… liked you a-and…"

Yugo stopped, "Ok, ok, I think I got where this going. Basically… you… like me…"

She nodded. "Reeka… likes me?"

Nodded. Yugo was surprised since he's seen Reeka only hate his guts. He nodded, "Ok, well, I'll have to put you back and pull her out."

And he did so, putting away the Absol, and pulling out Reeka. Reeka came out and she was already in attack mode as she asked, "Now what? Where is she? Yugo, what's going on?"

Yugo thought, 'Thank God she has no spikes, otherwise I'd be dead.'

She had no spikes, but she had small breasts. Luckily, those were covered by fur. Anyway, Reeka charged at Yugo, throwing him to the floor, "Where is that fucking Absol!?"

She sniffed him as she growled, "She was here, wasn't she?"

Yugo asked, "Reeka, what the hell is going on? Last night, I saw…"

"Yeah, and I was just about to get rid of her because she wanted you and…"

"Yeah, the least you could've done was come to some agreement, not a battle to the death."

"I wanted to show that I'm the one who gets you, not her. Now, show her to me and…"

"Ahem."

Both of them looked at the entrance as it was Eriktar once more. He waved, "Follow me."

And walked away. Yugo told Reeka, "Well, let's go."

She growled again and got up, then Yugo got up, but had his hand grabbed by Reeka's. It was kinda weird having a Lucario, only a few inches shorter than you, walk along side with mood she had, but it was this or stuff her in a ball, and then have her more pissed off at the field. At the field, there was Jesse and Eritkar ready for both a lesson in training… and a lesson in control.

Eriktar tilted his head, signaling to the next field. Reeka followed but told Yugo, 'Don't bring "her" out.'

Yugo shook his head in annoyance, and once they left, Jesse walked to him. She told, "Well, seeing as you got a Lucario, it'll all now depend on what Eriktar finds with your Lucario. If she passes, then… I guess that means she's basically… um… graduated?"

Yugo chuckled, "Ok, that kinda sounds a bit stupid but… that's it?"

"Well… right now, especially after what Eriktar told you, I'll need to give you several pointers on Lucarios before we even think of training."

Yugo nodded, "Ok… it can't be that bad."

"Well, this is from Eriktar's experience."

"Oh… he actually shared…"

"I'm not telling you anything more than what he showed me. And if he shows you something I don't know, then… probably will tell you not to tell me."

"Ok?"

"Now, first step is obviously how hard it is to handle a Lucario."

"Very much?"

"Well, being that it's the opposite sex, probably. Add on the murderous attitude and human genetics that might cause even more problems. Now, since I've been with Eriktar, there are things to know: Lucario's are very physically defensive if their friend or mate is being attacked or hurt. Next, they will not tolerate any BS from outsiders, which I personally like, and then they do get touchy if another somebody tries to take their mate away… from them…"

Yugo slapped himself, "Oh shit… if what you just said is true… oh hell."

"Yes… that might explain last night actually."

"Alright, any ideas on how to control her?"

"Hmm…"

Jesse then popped an idea, "What if you trained her to remove her… hatred problem?"

"Like?"

"Well, Eriktar said you two sleep in the same bag?"

Yugo asked, "Do Lucario's go through your head like an open book?"

"Very."

"Ok, so… yeah we do, why?"

"Well, why not have it where you and your Absol sleep within the same bag in order to help the two… not go at each other's throats?"

Yugo asked, "Wouldn't that encourage them to do the opposite?"

"That's my suggestion. But if they even attempted to, you'd wake up… hopefully."

"Alright, so basically… sleep with both of them?"

"Yes… but nothing perverted."

"Oh. Ok, so what else should I know?"

"As I said before, Lucario's can read your mind as easily as a psychic… and can also block your mind if they choose to."

"That's possible?"

"Also depending on how strong they are in the aura spectrum. Your Lucario… is basically more open than your head just because she doesn't even know she has one. But, I'll explain you the rest of what can happen."

"She's not gonna rape me, right?"

Jesse decided on that, "I'm not sure. Eriktar never attempted that."

"That made me feel great."

"Too bad, now, training time!"

She threw a punch and hit Yugo square in the face, only for him to retaliate and block, then punch back. They went fighting for the whole morning until lunch time when Eriktar brought Reeka to Yugo and went to the shack. Reeka looked suspicious at both Yugo and Jesse, snarling a little, then grabbed Yugo's hand. Jesse shook her head at this case of trouble.

Eriktar came back with the food, about half an hour later, and what he made was… not as good as Jesse, but it was edible. As they ate, Yugo asked, "So… um, Reeka… did you learn to use an aura… yet?"

She did not answer as Eriktar said, "She's actually improved. She's learned whatever attack I'd throw at her, blocking them with some ease."

"Oh… she's better than you?"

"HA! Not by a long shot. She's barely seen what I can really throw."

Jesse mumbled, "Don't get the pride ahead of yourself."

"I'm not… I'm just saying."

"Mhm."

After lunch, Jesse said, "Now then, I'll go grab a few things and then we can get to that event."

Yugo realized, "OH SHIT! Thanks for reminding me! I'll be right back!"

He ran off to the tent and came back with Rebecca and Judas, both not looking to be in mood, only with Yugo having the smile, "Alright, let's go!"

And they did. It was a long journey to Luminose as they walked for five hours straight, ending up at the building too early. It was only 5:01 and Yugo mumbled, "Great, now we're too early."

And just as he turned around, he heard a whistle in his direction. His head went up, he turned around and saw…

"Hey Franco!"

Franco waved from the distance, "Yugo, get your ass ova' here!"

Rebecca and Jesse asked, "Is that…"

Yugo nodded, "Yep, that's…"

And Rebecca ran right over the poor bastard as in the pavement Yugo winced, "Franco…"

Rebecca was running fast, in an instance getting to the band group, and shaking Franco's hand insanely, "OhmyArceusit'ssuchanexperiecnetomeetyoucanIhaveyourautograph?!"

Franco, pulling out his hand, "Um, yes, yes, got something to write on?"

Rebecca pulled out a pocketbook, thus Franco signed his signature, and Rebecca squealed at the amazement of getting his autograph. Yugo, still feeling flattened, came over and told her, "Calm down, I didn't see you go to grandpa for an autograph, then again, who wants his?"

Franco nodded, "Hilariously, you're right. Now then, this I don't tell anyone, but if you want you can join us on the backstage."

"Wait, everyone here?"

"Well, yes… I guess."

"Cool! C'mon, free entrance!"

Eriktar, Judas, and Jesse followed along only for Reeka to drag her feet, but make it in eventually. The backstage was barely lit as there were a couple of the singers… drinking a bit. Yugo asked, "Um, aren't those your friends?"

Franco said, "If I told you that one of them hates me and vice versa…"

"Really? You sound pretty good."

"It's called we don't fuck up talent over little things."

"Like us entering in?"

"That's one."

One of those singers walked over to the "VIP" group and asked, "Franco, who are these characters?"

Franco told him, "Calm down Michael, it's my cousin, his friends, and… hold on, isn't the red head…"

Yugo said, "If I said trainer, will it pass?"

"Ok, trainer/teacher."

"Also, where can we sit and wait for the show?"

"Stay by the bar…"

Rebecca said, "Uh, perhaps not since Judas has a drinking problem."

Judas protested, "No I don't!"

Yugo then said, "My mother's psychic part that reads your head at how much money you used on liquor has determined you are full of shit."

Franco asked, "I thought the line was 'has determined that was a lie?'"

"Why? They aren't cheating…"

He got blowtorched. Franco asked, "Girl, could you not do that here? Do that in the open space of the ballroom."

Rebecca apologized with a nervous smile, "Sorry Mr. Italy, it's just that he's been constantly nudging."

"Well, seeing you're with a drunk, I'm not surprised myself, but I have my own interests to attend to."

He walked off as the group went to the ballroom. They sat, talked, and kept Judas away from the bar. One of the stranger things of the time, as people came in, was that Reeka kept close to Yugo and people were staring as Yugo realized, "Oh shit, you have to wear clothes. Stupid fucking rules."

Jesse looked unamused, "Why do you think Eriktar wore a suit?"

Tuxedo, more specifically. Yugo told her, "I still thought I had a Riolu. Please tell me you got a spare dress?"

Jesse asked, "Do I look like a clothes store to you?"

Yugo sighed as Franco teleported over, "Let me guess?"

Yugo nodded. "Alright, I have some clothes, but they're men's clothes."

"It's good enough for now."

Franco shrugged and teleported the clothes on Reeka, as she growled at Franco, while he stone-faced. He teleported back, probably behind stage. Yugo just said, "Don't worry Reeka; you're only wearing it so people don't look at you weird."

She kept her arms cross, still unhappy about her new situation. At around 6:15, the actual curtains retracted, showing the main quartet as they stood there. The leader went up to the microphone and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for coming to the Christmas event. Hopefully, you don't mind the weather, but that's what puts this show on the right track.

"Now, we'll play several songs as usual, as the performance goes, and we'll be seeing you on Amourday playing some fine romantic tunes."

He went back as then a Gardevoir came on stage being…

"Holy shit, is that Aunt Catherine?"

Yugo said as he has never seen her that good looking. Of course, her dress was probably the best out of the crowd, and her part of this was singing for the female lyrics. The lights died down a tad as the band in the back started out slowly.

(Play "Baby, it's cold outside")

She began, "Winter winds have brought us closer together…

"It has made us a couple in the weather…

"But alas… you're bright moods have swayed once more…"

"I have to go… me amour…"

(The Actual lyrics)

She sang, "I really can't stay."

Michael stepped out, singing, "But, baby, it's cold outside."

"I've got to go away"

"But, baby, it's cold outside."

"This evening has been."

"Been hoping that you'd drop in."

"So very nice."

"I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice."

She looked toward him, "My mother will start worry."

Michael did the same, "Beautiful, what's your hurry?"

"My father will be pacing the floor."

"Listen to the fireplace roar."

"So really I'd better scurry."

"Beautiful, please don't hurry."

She turned around, "But maybe just a half a drink more."

"Put some records on while I pour."

"The neighbors might think."

"Baby, it's bad out there."

She then looked back to him, "Say, what's in this drink?"

"No cab's to be had out there."

"I wish I knew how."

"Your eyes are like starlight now."

"To break this spell."

"I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell."

She moved her finger, "I ought to say 'No, no, no, sir'."

"Mind if I move in closer?"

"At least I'm gonna say that I tried."

"What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?"

"I really can't stay."

"Oh, baby, don't hold out."

They both sang, "Baby, it's cold outside."

As a little instrumental played, Yugo looked and asked, "They look a little close… um, hopefully not what I'm thinking."

Back to them, they continued as Catherine sang, "I simply must go."

"But, baby, it's cold outside."

"The answer is no."

"But, baby, it's cold outside."

"Your welcome has been."

"How lucky that you dropped in."

"So nice and warm."

"Look out the window at the storm."

Catherine looked at him once again, "My sister will be suspicious."

Michael eyed her a little, "Gosh your lips look delicious."

"My brother will be there at the door."

"Waves upon the tropical shore."

"My maiden aunt's mind is vicious."

"Gosh your lips are delicious."

"But maybe just a cigarette more."

"Never such a blizzard before."

"I've gotta get home."

"But, baby, you'd freeze out there."

She teleported on a coat, "Say, lend me a coat."

"It's up to your knees out there."

"You've really been grand."

"I thrill when you touch my hand."

"But don't you see?"

"How can you do this thing to me?"

"There's bound to be talk tomorrow."

"Think of my lifelong sorrow."

"At least there will be plenty implied."

"If you got pneumonia and died."

Catherine teleported away ten feet, but walked closer, "I really can't stay."

Michael continued, "Get over that cold out."

Then they both sang, "Baby, it's cooooold… Baby, it's cold outsiiiiiiiide!"

The instruments dropped and the whole room was in applause. However, as they did walk back, Yugo meanwhile was still suspicious as he hasn't seen his aunt like that towards anyone since Magnus got in and he now she doesn't do that to Magnus.

Next coming up was…

"Hey, there's mom!"

It was Rose as she had a dress similar to Catherine, but wasn't as beautiful, but who cares? The lights died again as the whole group in the back began.

(Play "I've got my love to keep me warm")

She began, "The snow is snowin'."

"The Wind is blowin', but I can weather the storm."

"What do I care how much it may storm?

"I've got my love to keep me warm."

"I can't remember."

"A worst December."

"Just watch those icicles form."

"What do I care if icicles form?"

"I've got my love to keep me warm."

"Off with my overcoat."

"Off with my gloves."

"I need no overcoat."

"I'm burning with love."

"My heart's on fire."

"The flame grows higher."

"So I will weather the storm, storm, storm…"

"What do I care how much it may storm?"

"I've got my love, my love to-o keep me warm"

"My heart's on fire."

"The flame grows higher."

"So I will weather the storm."

"What do I care how much it may storm?"

"I've got my love to keep me warm."

Everyone gave her applause as she bowed from her performance. Yugo clapped for her as he asked, "Isn't my mother great?"

Rebecca asked, "That was your mother?"

"Yep, she and Aunt Catherine do the female portions while the usual quartet and Franco do the regular singing."

"Huh, sucks that the rest of your family doesn't do that."

"HAH, you wish."

After the show, Yugo went ahead and secretly went through the backstage door when nobody was looking. As he went there, he bumped into Franco who asked, "Yugo, what the hell are you doing here?"

Yugo asked, "Look, I don't want to cause trouble, but doesn't it look suspicious about how Aunt Catherine and one of your signer friends were looking at each other when they sang the first song?"

"Yeah, if I told you that it was the actual lyrics…"

"Who cares? I couldn't have been an act."

Franco walked away to the ready room, "Look, you're getting paranoid over something that isn't anything."

"Franco, if she's doing what I think she's doing…"

"She's not Yugo, calm down."

He opened the door to the room and…

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHH!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH"

Both Michael and Catherine screamed once Franco and Yugo entered in the room... and they saw that the two no shirts on, meaning…

"Well, I've seen my Aunt's big tits for once. Now I'll never get them out of my head."

He turned around as Franco yelled, "Get your shirts on!"

Both of them quickly scurried to get their shirt and gown back on as Franco slammed the door. Yugo walked away as he said, "And you claimed paranoia. If Mr. Magnus finds out, hell will break loose."

And he left. He met up with his friends and then went outside of the building, only to plan ahead of what to do now. Jesse said, "Well, thanks for the trip. Honestly, I never thought of getting in. However, since it is dark and there is no way in any hell that I'm walking in this, we'll be staying in a hotel."

Yugo nodded, "Understood. I plan to do so as well."

"Yes, and make sure that you do as I said this morning about your Lucario, alright?"

Reeka growled as Yugo nodded, "Yes ma'am."

And her and Eriktar left, only for the remaining four to now march their way to whatever hotel they needed to stay at. Rebecca asked, "Could it not be a cheap one. Arceus knows who's been in it."

"Or in it in general. Alright, the Orus Inn should be good enough, right?"

"Oh C'mon, that can't be good. The place was barely rated 2 stars."

"Yeah, but my parents went there a couple months back and said it was pretty decent."

"Got their room number?"

"Yep."

And the new trek was 20 minutes to the hotel, followed by entering in and getting two rooms: One for him and Reeka, and the other for those two. Ok, he was nice enough to let Jacques and Elene have the room as well so that it doesn't look like he's teasing.

Afterwards, he and Reeka went into their room and Reeka closed the door saying, "I'm not letting her sleep with you."

Yugo crossed his arms, "Hey, this is so I can get both of you onto the same page. In the future, she'll agree that you're the one who's in charge, but I don't want any alpha whatever the hell bullshit because that is as annoying as all hell and it means nothing. Now, I'm getting in bed; you better do the same."

Reeka growled once again as this was her new talk. Yugo pulled out Ghezirha's ball and released her out, only for a smiling Absol to take the bed… until she saw Reeka. She backed up as Reeka grabbed Yugo's hand, but he pushed her off it, "Reeka, remember?"

Yugo then told Ghezirha, "Do to some problems with everything, basically to get you and Reeka less at each other's throats… both of you will be staying in the same bed, ok?"

She blinked, "A-are you sure?"

"Very much."

He took off his pants and crashed on the bed as Reeka went in and hugged him tight to herself, but Ghezirha got his back. Yugo was stuck between two canines, one who's nice and one who's… not nice. He fell asleep, praying in his mind that tomorrow doesn't get worse… or he has a wet dream.

(At Dahara City)

Yesterday's dinner was a disaster on Wafu's part and he really wants that bastard gone before it gets worse. Unfortunately, after looking up several accounts of Italy's profile, one interesting thing is that he has said several times that if he is killed by someone, his wife will kill them brutally. While he might not be cringing on that, assassinating Italy might not be as simply as a .50 caliber to the head.

Once he was done, the tall Delphox entered the room as he asked, "So… everything alright?"

Wafu nodded, "Well… the whole idea of killing him is out. Having to force him to join might be the next best option."

"How?"

He stopped and looked back at the accounts, "Prof. Italy did send some snitches off to several gymleaders on his grandson attempting to defeat him. Maybe if we get the grandson, *smiles slowly* we can get Italy and we solve the problems we are currently facing."

"Also, um… another four members were… killed."

Wafu rolled his eyes, "Fine, it's getting done starting tomorrow."

(At Italy's lab)

Frank was currently have a dilemma on his own as Midori didn't get shit from the Greninja. Why you may ask? Apparently his head was blocked off as Frank's was too, except Frank's was a hat, Wafu's wasn't anything visible.

He rubbed his eyes as Midori came in, "Frank, don't tell me you're plotting a second attempt."

Frank turned around, "This time, no. In fact, once I told Flare… basically they're on their own. But of course, I'm not going to give up."

"Really, explain how?"

"Well, Kevanin did get SOME info out of everyone else at the dinner as well as you, right?"

Midori nodded slowly, "Yeeaah."

"So, if I put two and two together, I get a halfway finished puzzle. And from there, it's guessing and travelling to another universe."

She crossed her arms, giving a disapproving glance. "Ok, fine, minus the universe part, but those four bastards are basically from that universe, the Delphox on pituitary gland steroids was the one I stole those dresses and gave to you as gift."

She looked at her kimono and shrugged, "I guess."

"Long story, cross-dressing dick. Now, anyway *kisses her* I'm going to bed, 'night."

He quickly ran out as Midori chuckled a little, then shook her head and left as well.

Rate and Review.

Ok, so the little beginning to "Baby, it's cold outside" I just made up. Besides, it's a great Christmas song!
