That Glaceon

I was looking at the reviews of the last chapter, and I was pretty inspired. However, I also realized that I never actually took the time to reply to some of the concerns and/or questions that some left. So should anyone have anything to ask about this story, you may want to expect a PM coming your way, or perhaps any anxieties will be answered during this chapter or any of the ones after. Regardless, chapter 25, a quarter of 100, is here right now for your eyes and brains to read and interpret.

Awesome Sawss does not own anything related to Pokemon, nor Pokemon itself.

In his English lesson, Julley rested his bored head on a tired paw. The teacher, Mrs. Poidaughter, would do nothing but give boring dictations about what life was like as a child for her all lesson. Although she had some pretty interesting stories to share, the redundant amount of narratives she held in stock just made the experience tedious for the Umbreon. Moreover, Alice was unfortunately not here to keep him company, so he would have to endure the remainder of this lesson in singularity.

"Yes, the beautiful yet subtle smell of freshly picked Lum berries filled my soul with bliss, as I tied my golden fleece of hair that flowed down my bare shoulders into a neat bun so that I may concentrate on the gentle caress that the breeze stroked on my slightly flushing cheeks."

YAWN. Doesn't this chick have anything else to say?

Chick? She's in her 40s!

Heh, when you're at my age, you won't really mind!

Julley didn't want to ponder about that for too long, because he may just end up losing his the rest of his sanity. All he wanted was for the bell to sing the sound of its people.

Meanwhile, Cassidy was taking down science-related notes down on a sheet of paper, that made a cover for how ecstatic she was for what she was going to do after class. She was ready to show that Luxray that company is the best thing a Pokemon could have. If only she could understand from Flux's perspective, only then would she know why he doesn't want to make any friends.

To the happiness of Cassidy and an Umbreon on the other side of the school building, the school bell rung, so thus she left the classroom, but waited for Flux to also come out as well. After packing away his things, Flux exited the room and met eyes with that annoying Glaceon who wouldn't seem to just leave him alone.

"Hello, Flux!"

"Hi." He plainly replied, already walking away from Cassidy. However, she wouldn't give up that easily. She kept up with his speed so they were travelling side-by-side. Flux began to lowly growl in irritation as he took many turns and bends in order to shake off this Glaceon. But in these motions, he wasn't looking in the direction of which he was going, and ended up slamming head-first into what seemed like a brick wall. Rearing back, Flux looked up to see that it was an Absol. Seeing this, Cassidy took a couple steps back away from Abby, leaving the stunned Flux to gaze at the emotionless Absol.

"Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you like that." Stuttered Flux, stacking over his own tongue. Abby did nothing but hypnotize Flux with her piercing eyes and indifferent face.

"Watch where you're going." She stated, before taking her leave. Flux stared at Abby with every move she made while she walked away behind one of the bigger doors that led outside. He soon felt nudging in his arm courtesy of Cassidy, who was looking at him, a broadening grin showing off her perfect teeth. She jumped her eyebrows up and down as she did so, and Flux knew exactly what that meant.

"What are you looking at?" He spat as he got up, dusting himself off and restarted walking again. Cassidy ran up to the Luxray and began to snicker to herself, but made sure that it was just loud enough for him to hear.

"So," Cassidy began. Flux braced himself for the oncoming torture. "You liiike her, huh?"

"No! Of course not!" He denied, a little too quickly.

"Sure you do!" Cassidy's teasing was cut by the ringing of the school bell, alerting the students that it was time to go to their next lessons. Lucky for Flux, they did not share the next class together, but that only meant that she would have to find him at lunch. How excited she was to tell Julley all about her new experience. Yeah, it's not nice to spread gossip around, but c'mon, what would you do in this scenario?

Cassidy waved goodbye to Flux (Who clearly did not return the favor) and entered through the large doors that led to the gymnasium. Students had already claimed their seats on the benches, so she made a +1 addition to the count. She took a seat next to an unsure Brendan. He was looking up, his eyes to the sky, in deeper thought than he could handle.

"Psst, Brendan! What's going on?" She loudly whispered, snapping Brendan out of his daydream.

"Huh, what? Oh, Cassidy." Brendan slightly sighed in relief. He was ready to make a deadly reflex action in the case that it was an enemy, like he was trained to do. "I'm not sure, probably just some more fitness."

Cassidy smiled and nodded, happy that she could maintain a decent conversation with Brendan. Yet the question remained: Why couldn't she do the same with Flux? Why doesn't he want to make any friends? Could it be his pride? Luxrays are known to be quite egotistical Pokemon.

"Okay, settle down, kids." It was Mr. Wheezle, giving another speech just as he did nearly every lesson. "Now, it's come to my attention that some of you have been lacking a little on the athletic side, so like always, I've set up a bunch of stuff around so you can build up those muscles to be nice and strong." From the background, a scoff was heard, the source being Brendan. He had nonstop training from since he was little, yet now he's being criticized by his coach. What an absolute joke.

Mr. Wheezle put up an eyebrow and glared at the contesting Brendan. "Is there something you would like to add, Bursyamo?"

Brendan stretched and stood up. Students around him turned and looked. This was going to be good.

"Well sir, you train us like this every lesson, but now you're saying it's not enough? We've worked too hard. Can't we take a break?" Mr. Wheezle shrugged his shoulders, he did uphold a pretty good point.

"I guess that is true." Answered the Floatzel, stroking his hairless chin. "Alright, new plan, I'll give you this lesson and this lesson only to do what you want." All students cheered, some giving high-fives to Brendan for his audacity as to stand up against the one and only Mr. Wheezle.

"However." Continued Mr. Wheezle. He wasn't about to let up without letting a group of students take one for the team. "If you're part of the battling team, you're obliged to continue your fitness. 5 Pokemon exactly groaned aloud, while one of them simply kept quiet and let her emotionless stare do the work. A vexed Bonnie lightly punched Brendan in the arm as they walked over to the equipment.

"Nice going, bro." She said sarcastically. "You must be super quazzy in your head or something! Your mistake meant that I'm going to have to total my hair!" Brendan rolled his eyes. He wasn't too upset as he trained essentially every day. However, now that it was with only 6 of them, he knew that he had to be extra cautious around Abby. Who knows what she might pull.

Cassidy looked around the benches and saw Julley by himself. What a story she had yet to tell him. Upon approaching him, Cassidy seemed to already get his attention before she was fully in his line of vision.

"Hi Cassidy, what's up?" Cassidy flew onto the space on the bench beside him, and engaged herself into gossip-mode.

"You'll never guess what happened to me today!" Julley smiled and shrugged his shoulders. A quadrillion things could have happened to her today, what could it be this time?

"Get this: This guy, a Luxray called Flux was in my science class."

A Luxray called Flux? Gee, how original.

"...Was that it?" Julley felt a little unfulfilled after being told something that was not worth its amount of anticipation. Cassidy shook her head, and continued rambling.

"He doesn't like talking to people, but I tried anyway. After class, he bumped into Abby and was super love struck!" Now, Julley wasn't one to listen to rumors, but against his better judgement, he found it to be very interesting. Maybe, just maybe, he could use this to his advantage.

"That's something I definitely thought I wouldn't hear!" Joked Julley, Cassidy joining in as she agreed. The two began to watch the battling team commence their exercises, and damn, did it look vigorous. Brendan was upside-down, hanging from the back of his knees on the pull up bar, working his abdominals. Next to him was Bonnie, doing regular pull ups with both arms. All the while Jasmine was powering through push-ups, being done with only one paw. On the other hand, when the duo switched their gazes to Abby, rather than performing conventional exercises like the rest of her cohorts were, she was instead sat on the ground, eyes closed and rhythmically breathing. This perplexed Julley, and behoved him to ask his girlfriend.

"What is she accomplishing by just sitting there with her eyes closed?"

"I don't know, but perhaps it's best not to question too much about it."

Mr. Wheezle was really working them. Cassidy began to feel sorry for the Blaziken and Lucario, but then again, it's what you sign up for when you make it on one of the best school battling teams in the region. After nothing but the stench of sweat for a full hour, the class was dismissed, albeit not without a minority of the students walking out with sore and paining muscles.

While the two Eeveelutions made their way to the cafeteria, Cassidy kept a keen eye out for a certain Luxray. She spotted him while they were waiting in the line, sitting by himself gnawing on a hamburger. She ran out of the line, and yelled for Julley to get food for her, which she knew was impossible but it was worth a try anyway.

"Hey! Flux!" She called, running up to the groaning Luxray.

"What do you want?!" Complained Flux. It wasn't that hard of a demand as to just leave him alone, was it?

"I want you to meet my friend, Julley!"

"..."

Julley was in the queue grabbing his food. If cafeteria lines were any quicker, world food problems would have been resolved by now. Realizing this, Cassidy covered up her mistake by jetting a paw in his direction.

"The... Umbreon?" Flux asked, to which Cassidy nodded furiously. That would have been useful information if he could actually care.

"Look Catherine, whatever your name is, I don't care about you, or your friends who are probably just as annoying as you are, so just leave me alone, period." Wiping off whatever crumbs were left on the fur of his chin, Flux angrily upped and left. Of course, Julley would decide that this would be the best time to show up.

"Where did uh... Flex go?" Uncertainly asked the Umbreon as he handed her his portion of chips, to which she gladly welcomed a place in her stomach. He was unable to get her an individual portion of food, because that Mienshao dinner lady made the choice to be extra vigilant today.

"Flux, silly. He left somewhere, I don't know." Julley simply sighed and took a seat.

"Well he's going to be missing out on one of the most beautiful Pokemon in the world." Cassidy laughed with a blush and dug into her chips.

...

Finally, it was the end of the school day, yet neither Julley nor Cassidy had seen Flux all day. This time, they really had to part ways; they agreed that he would be going back to his house today. Sighing, Cassidy set Julley away with a caring kiss before they parted ways.

As the Umbreon walked home, he saw Jasmine, tongue wrestling with her boyfriend, Brendan. It was right outside on the front porch to his house, too! How was he going to get home and avoid the awkwardness at the same time? Eventually, he saw an Umbreon and an Absol, prancing down the street. Wait a second...

Is that MOM?!

Yes, okay, you don't need to shout! My not visible ears are killing me!

Jasmine seemed to notice this too, as she immediately pushed Brendan into a nearby bush, ignorant of the fact that the bush held a large amount of stinging nettles. Nothing in the Blaziken's life could ever prepare him for the pain that he felt, yet through power of will, he was able to keep quiet anyway.

"Dad! Ms. Breon!" She exclaimed, opening her arms in false surprise.

"Now now, Jasmine. This fine lady is no longer Ms. Breon, but rather, your mother." He explained, before they nuzzled noses, making Jasmine instantly have a gag reflex.

"Uh, right. Hi Mom." Although she anticipated them getting married from light-years away, it felt way past different calling her Mom, as this wasn't her real mother.

Julley chose this time to intervene, as he was gonna have the same talk no matter what time he came back.

"Oh, hello Mom, and uh... Dad." It was all too evident that Julley had forced that out, but it was the best he could muster. Maxwell patted him on his head in loving care, but it was hard to return it to a person who wasn't his biological father. April and Maxwell then skipped inside, leaving Julley and Jasmine on the front porch.

"I can't believe it." Voiced Julley. Sure, Jasmine had predicted it ages ago, but it felt weird now that she was actually right.

"Ugh, tell me about it." Replied Jasmine, looking at the floor in despair. Suddenly, the bush beside them began to shake, and the Lucario realized that Brendan was still hiding in the bushes. She carefully fished around in the bush before she felt a muscular arm. She pulled on it and unveiled Brendan from the shrubs. Both she and Julley noticed the amount of sharp leaves stuck to his feathers. Sure, it wasn't very effective, but they knew it had to hurt some way or another. Brendan slumped out onto the side walk, and traveled down it so he was just out of view. Now that he had some sort of privacy, he let loose the most agonizing scream ever known to the land of Pokemon. It sounded as if he broke all his bones simultaneously, but no, it was much worse.

"And there it is..." Sighed Jasmine, meeting her face with a paw.

Julley looked at her in confusion. "Are you going to introduce him to... Mom and Dad?" That was gonna take some time getting used to.

She sighed again. "Yeah, might as well now that he's already here. C'mon Brendan!" The Blaziken re-entered the front porch once more, now without the myriads of leaves stuck to his poor body., and followed Jasmine inside, Julley coming in last.

"Wow, you two really kept this place spotless!" Came April from the lounge, noticing nothing out of place with everything just as clean as it was when they left.

"Aside from the tons of empty pizza boxes stacked next to the trash can!" Called Maxwell who was in the Kitchen. This time it was Jasmine's turn to nervously scratch the back of her head and laugh. She could have sworn that she had put those away.

"Uh, Mom? Dad? Do you mind if you can come here for a second?" Loudly asked Jasmine from the hallway. Without a second to spare, both the Absol and Umbreon were in front of the trio, smiles present.

"Yes, Jasmine?" Asked Maxwell.

"Well, this Blaziken here is my boyfriend, Brendan." Brendan extended an arm out towards the Absol and Umbreon and wore a small and sweet smile to ensure that he meant no harm by being in a relationship with their (now legal) daughter.

"It's great to meet the two of you." Uttered Brendan, sweat slowly beginning to drop down the back of his neck. Maxwell met his talon with a paw and shook it vigorously.

"It's great to see that my little Jasmine could finally meet someone as strong as you. I mean, look at your biceps, you could lift a truck!" Fantasized the Absol while still shaking Brendan's hand, which looked like it could do with a break from the immense G-forces this handshake was putting on his arm.

"Hah, thank you, sir. Both Jasmine and I are in the school's battling team, so we are expected to train a lot." Clarified Brendan. Maxwell guffawed as he let the Blaziken reel back from the handshake.

"There's no need to be humble, son! Abs like those deserve to be boasted about!" Brendan forced out another laugh, although right now he REALLY wanted to avoid making conversation.

"Thank you, again."

Brendan felt a nudge from the back of his arm from the paws of Jasmine. She discreetly whispered in his ear: "Next time, you are wearing a hoodie!"

Maxwell was continuing to gawk at his muscles, giving the Blaziken a little bit of unnecessary attention. He now knew how it felt to be Julley, who was standing on the stairs, leaning on the banister watching the whole thing unfold. "Look at that HUGE chest you got there!" He cheered, patting his paw on Brendan's firm pectoral muscles. "You could squish an Oran berry between those!"

Okay, now it's just weird.

"Dad! I'm going to take Brendan upstairs to my room now." Thankfully interrupted Jasmine before the exaggerations could... Well, exaggerate!

"Okay, I'll call you down when it's time to eat!" Instructed April as she went into the kitchen. Maxwell followed her and Brendan was taken upstairs by Jasmine, leaving Julley on his lonesome, just like it used to be.

I wonder if you can squish an Oran berry between those...

Why are you even asking? You're Arceus aren't you? Why don't you just try it for yourself?!

Hey, watch it. That doesn't mean I can suddenly poof up the chest of a professional wrestler now, can I?

Julley sighed and entered the lounge, hoping to wash away his thoughts with a little bit of some good ol' television. Hopefully 'How I met your Kangaskhan' was on.

Meanwhile, up in Jasmine's room, Brendan was sat on her blue sheets, tapping at his thighs with his talons as Jasmine was sat on the chair at her desk, which she used to conduct important homework projects... In the one out of a million chance that there was one.

"Sorry about my Dad, he can be a bit of a klutz sometimes." Apologized Jasmine. Brendan raised his hand and shook his head from side to side.

"Naw, it's okay. I think he's pretty cool, but he was a little over-doing it there."

"A little?" The duo chuckled at Jasmine's remark, although Brendan didn't want that kind of attention given to him by others. He already gave himself that in front of the full-scale mirror in his bedroom on a daily basis. "But hey, he really wasn't joking about those biceps." Continued Jasmine, hopping over to the bed and wrapping an arm around Brendan's equivalent.

"Well I really wasn't joking when I said you're beautiful." Returned Brendan, caressing her furry cheeks with a gentle talon and eventually coaxing her into a very passionate kiss. Of course, this just couldn't go to plan, as Maxwell peered his face past the door.

"You kids doing alright in here?" All the while Jasmine and Brendan's mouths were mashed together, Jasmine peered at the door and gave a menacing glare to her father.

"DAD! Get out of here!" Maxwell assessed the situation that was before him.

"Oh, was I interrupting something?" Chuckled Maxwell, a huge grin on his face. If Jasmine could blush any harder, she would be confused for a shiny. Nevermind actually, the shiny is yellow. Dammit.

"Yes, you really were, Dad!" That didn't seem to wipe the smirk off his face, but rather broaden it.

"Don't worry, I was just calling you two love-Pigdeys down because dinner's ready." Jasmine sighed and stood up from the bed, Brendan doing the same moments after, and the duo made their way into the kitchen. Around each chair on the dining table were plates of hot-smoking Magikarp fillets, sided with some salted amounts of sun-yellow mouth-watering fries. Julley and April were already at the table, ready to dig in. Maxwell, Brendan and Jasmine then took their seats at the table, and with that, they all ate the delicious portions of food.

"This is a very good dish you've given us, Mrs. Solian." Complimented Brendan, who was busy wolfing down his fillet. April simply smiled as she ate.

"Why, thank you Brendan, hopefully your wife will be a better cook than me in the future." She said sneaking a glance at Jasmine, who then slightly choked on her food.

"Are you alright there, dear?" Kindly asked April, as if she had slipped in no innuendos in her speech whatsoever.

"Yeah, just a cough."

The rest of the meal was indulged in silence, until they had finished everything on their plates.

"My compliments to the chef!" Praised Maxwell as he got up from his chair to put his plate in the sink. Everyone else agreed on this statement as they topped their meal off with a refreshing Oran berry juice drink, although, not made from concentrate as many people made erroneous assumptions about. How this was relevant to the story... Well, it wasn't.

After gulping down the last drops of his drink, Brendan stood up from the table. "Uh, thank you for your hospitality, but I need to be going now."

Maxwell groaned a bit, as Brendan was currently the most exciting thing that had happened in this house today, but of course, he had to be sent on his way sooner or later. "Alright, I'll be looking forward to the next time you bring your ferocious arms around here." Joked the Absol as he slammed a paw on Brendan's back.

"Haha, yeah. I'll see you another time, sir." Replied Brendan, walking towards the main door. Jasmine got up and followed him.

"I'm gonna take him down to the bus stop." Stated Jasmine, as she opened the door for the waving Blaziken, before closing it once they were outside. Julley was still sat at the table, sipping on his drink. Now that he was the last one left, Maxwell decided to target him as a subject to teasing.

"So Julley, where's your girlfriend, hmm?" Julley got no time to answer, although it was probably going to be a long series of incoherent stutters and mumbles, because his own mother decided to pitch in her two cents.

"Do you mean that Glaceon, Cassidy?" Julley slammed a paw to his forehead, his own flesh and blood had finally turned on him.

"Oh really now?" A smirk crept onto Maxwell's face. He began to remind Julley of Cassidy's elder brother, Cooper, but at least he even knew his limits. That was mostly because he had a girlfriend of his own to keep him in check, but now that April was on the same side as Maxwell, he was very much screwed.

Great. Now he knows. May as well let the whole world know!

I... I could do that if you want...

Your comments are not needed, Arceus!

"So how did you meet her, Julley?" Asked Maxwell. Julley quickly turned and shot daggers at his Mom, who then smiled and shrugged her shoulders before he replied to the question.

"I-In school."

"Uh-huh, you'll definitely have to bring her around so I can see her sometime!"

Perfect. Now I couldn't even invite Cassidy over without Max- Er, Dad, having to be a pest about it!

Well, not to say that you bring her around at all anyway.

Well at least in the unlikely instance that I do!

Julley took the moment that the attention was not on him to make a beeline up the stairs and straight into his room. He exhaled as he shut the door behind him. Of course it could only be his life that the contiguous events of his mother eloping with another man, said man leaving his daughter to live in the house with him without any adults and his mother coming back with the same man, but now legally bound together. Also known as being married. Now that he thought about it from a critical angle, he realized how out of character and irresponsible his mother's actions were. She could have dropped him at his cousin Joone's or even aunt Novemburr's place, but nope, left him at home with nothing but a Lucario and no clue where she was.

He plopped on the bed and took an early night. Man, what is up with this story and sleeping early? Anyway, we return back to the perspectives of Jasmine and Brendan, whom were on the bus, heading to the Bursyamo residence. She did say that she was escorting him to the bus stop, but then again, she didn't say that she wasn't taking him directly to his house. While sitting on a seat, Jasmine realized that both Brendan and Bonnie were currently living without their parents. From what she heard, they were on a business trip. She figured that she probably wouldn't want to bring it up any time soon, so she pushed it to the corner of her mind and put priority to the situation at hand... She was inadvertently staring at Brendan's abs. For a Blaziken, they are decently toned, considering the fact that Blazikens usually have extraordinarily small torsos in comparison to the rest of their body, especially their legs. However, they are mostly covered by his feathers. Jasmine began to wonder how his abdominals would look if she was to shave the feathers off. As a matter of fact, there were a large number of things that she pondered about Brendan. For a prime example, what was his middle name? Sure, it started with B as she would hear from the coach, but that was the only thing she knew about it.

"Hey Brendan?"

"Yeah?"

"What's your middle name?" Although she sounded quite intrusive, he was very open to answer the question.

"It's Bee."

"Yeah, I know it starts with a B, but what is it?" This was why he hated the uncreative thought process that went through his parents' heads as they wondered what his middle name should be. They were fully aware that naming it "Bee" would make it prone to confusion with the alphabetical letter B.

"As in, Bee of a Combee, y'know." Jasmine let out a long "Oooh" before bursting into a fit of uncontrollable laughter.

"Brendan Bee Bursyamo!" Brendan smiled and rolled his eyes. This seemed to be everyone's reaction when he told them. "Wait; What's Bonnie's middle name?" Now, Brendan knew that Jasmine probably would not believe him if he was about to spill, but it was worth attempting.

"Bon, or 'Bon-Bon' as Mom would call it." Jasmine couldn't hold it. Her laughter became uncontrollable as she began to perturb some passengers on the bus. This also led her think: Did Coach know his name all this time, or was he accidentally getting his name right? Until the time for answers came, the world will never know.

Embarrassing middle names aside, Brendan's stop finally came around. It had been only a measly 5 minutes of commuting, but they were too lazy to walk. Brendan and Jasmine got off the bus and crossed the road, walking up to Brendan's front porch.

"Thanks for letting me come over." Said Brendan, getting his keys out and opening the door.

"Don't worry about it. Also, thanks for letting me come inside." Retorted Jasmine, slipping inside as soon as the door was opened. Although Brendan was a little surprised, he smiled at the cunning attributes that gave Jasmine her character.

Jasmine found Bonnie sitting on the couch, eating from a huge bowl of raw cookie dough and watching the Johto 2016 Olympics. When she wasn't filling her gullet with the unhealthy snack, she was shouting at Seadra and Venusaur Williams hitting the green tennis ball back at their opponents, whom would return it with stronger force.

"You okay there, Bonnie?" Asked Jasmine, smiling at the Blaziken's hilarious antics.

"Oh hey, what's up, Jazz? Is my brother there?" Brendan answered her question by entering the lounge and taking a seat on the adjacent couch. "Okay you two, get this: I got a text from Alice saying that there's gonna be a camping trip next week, starting on Monday." This brightened the Lucario's skies. She could really do with a couple days off from school. There were the Summer holidays (VERY SLOWLY) approaching, but everybody knows that after that is the dreaded days to apply for college. Thankfully, the school they attended now supported college, so the worry is going to be University. That was in a few years time, though, so there was no point in getting stressed about it already.

"That's pretty sweet, do you have any spare permission slips I could use?" Bonnie nodded and fished around in her school bag. She pulled out 5 papers and put them on the table.

"Go nuts." Bonnie said as she filled her pharynx with more cookie dough. Jasmine grabbed two of the five permission papers and slotted them in her... Inventory. She then stayed under the roof of the Bursyamo's for about an hour and a half watching the intense events of the Olympics, before sadly leaving them to go home.

...

It was too early in the morning, yet feet padded through the halls of what used to be a house owned by April Breon. Sneaking into his daughter's room was Maxwell, ready to ruin the Friday morning for Jasmine. He looked at the adorable sight of the Lucario peacefully slumbering away. What kind of unpleasant monster would be so compelled by a nefarious intention just to wreak havoc on this poor unconscious soul? That question was answered by the action of Maxwell grabbing the sheets and pulling on them, flinging them onto the floor. Jasmine couldn't resist the lack of covers on her frail body, and began flailing on her mattress.

"UGH. Dad, why can't you just let me sleep?!" Screamed Jasmine, throwing a hissy fit.

"Well, it's time for breakfast, of course!" Using her half asleep eyes, Jasmine squinted at her wall clock. It was blurry, but she could still see that it read 6 o'clock. What kind of adamant pedant would be so obsessed with academic yield should they ever wake up for a school that was literally less than 10 minutes of a walk away?!

"How comes you didn't wake up Julley then?" Argued Jasmine.

"I'm going to, right now." He claimed. And with that, he dashed out of the blue and gray themed room. He had already ruined her sleep, so she may as well just get up and have her breakfast. It seems that Maxwell is a little too happy to finally be a father to a content family. Hopefully over these next few weeks he won't let that get to his head.

I honestly could not believe my eyes. I was just taking a look at this story's properties and whoomp, there it was: 10,000+ views! Okay, now you guys are just being awesome. Never in my life did I expect to publish such a story. I'm not sure about you guys, but I personally think that 10K views is a massive number.

A moderate chapter, just to set the mood to be honest, but I may not be able to send the next chapter coming your way for a while, at least a week, because I have got some family coming over, so I'm obliged to spend time with them. I'll do the best I can, but be advised that I cannot guarantee anything, which is why I gave you guys this chapter sorta earlier than the status quo.

WAIT, wait just a second. I wanna give shout-outs to my main buddy Nightstrike the Umbreon for supplying me with a pretty beast plot line. I won't reveal it to you guys just yet, but when you do get it, you'll be very much impressed. Good stuff Nightstrike!

Here are any answers to the reviews you guys put out for the last chapter. I hope you find them useful.

1. Snorlax the Great: Here it is, before the end of August. Chapter 26 should be out before September comes around as well.

2. Theluc48: It's not the case of me not liking the name "Luca" or "Lucas", but rather the fact that I chose Flux over Lucas due to it subjectively being a slightly cooler name. Furthermore, yah, my keyboard is a little qwerty indeed because I'm on my laptop rather than my computer, and my laptop keyboard just stinks, so apologies for any fallacious spelling or grammar that you may come across. If I see it, I'll fix it ASAP.

3. Akira: I take a lot of time searching up stuff and replacing them with similar-sounding Pokemon names. It's pretty amusing, I'd say. While writing this I considered putting in the athlete "Kadabra Johnson-Thompson" just for the sole reason that it sounded cool. XD

-Awesome Sawss, signing off at 5 AM.
