Chapter 30: DERP EX

Sorry I haven't been posting… A lot of issues going on. And my computer had a virus.

I hope there are still readers….

The Past Sunshine Bay, 9:00 A.M. The Next Day From Where I Left Off, 3rd Person POV

Blu had eagerly awaited Thunder. She waited the whole night. Sitting on the docks, staring out to the sea to see if any ships were coming. Pokémon kept asking her what species of Pokémon she was. No one had ever heard of an Oshawott before. She was confused. Nowadays, oshawott is very well known of. Especially Blu's family. But she shrugged it off, not that she really cared. All she cared about right now was Thunder.

And Luke. She'd forgotten all about Luke. She knew he was in good hands… paws… but they weren't hers. She missed the little guy. After all, if it weren't for Luke, Thunder and Blu wouldn't be together. But that's only what Blu thought. If Luke was never born, which is a scary thought for Blu, then all Thunder and Blu would need is a push together. Perhaps this would be a game of "Spin the Bottle" or "Seven Minutes in Heaven."

But in this timeline, Luke had brought them together. This was the most subtle way, anyways. Despite it having to include a Thunder-obsessed emolga and a boldore who was more or less agreeing with her.

That's not really the point right now. Blu glared out into the open ocean, hoping that Thunder's ship would eventually dock. Several hours later, a huge, wooden ship appeared. The flag it flew appeared to be a magikarp.

"Cap'n Karp!" said a voice from behind her. Blu turned to see a slightly-bigger-stomached pikachu, which was female, staring out at the boat with watery eyes. "My mate's returned home!" She screamed out with joy, twirling and jumping up and down as she could barely hold in her tears of joy. But she got dizzy, so she sat next to Blu.

"Sorry, I'm just really excited!" she said to Blu. "My mate's ship is finally arriving home!"

"That's the ship my mate's on, too!" Blu said back with a smile. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't get your name."

"I'm Grace. And you are?"

"Blu."

"Well, with our boys returning home, we should do something special for them!"

"Like what?"

"I could get myself some reservations for the best restaurant in Sunshine Bay, but I can't get more than two at a time. Sorry."

"Did you say 'Sunshine Bay'?"

"That's where you are! The happiest, coziest little town you'd ever see!"

"Really?"

"Yep! But after my mate returns, me and him are moving out to the big city, so our Lightning can have a great life!"

Just then, the ship started to unload its goods. Poké, artifacts, jewelry, and a lot more. But what really mattered to Blu was Thunder.

"BLU!" Thunder yelled, rushing out of the boat to her. He hugged her as tight as he could, being careful of the child. "I've missed you sooooo much!" He kept giving her kisses all over her face, which made Blu laugh. Strike rushed to Grace, as well, and basically did the same thing.

"Oh, Blu, the life at sea is no life for me." Thunder said, smiling.

"So that's Blu, huh? She is pretty." Strike said, smiling while hugging Grace. Grace gave him an angry look, and he laughed. "But she's not as pretty as you, Grace!"

"Well, Blu, Thunder, me and Strike must get going now! Nice meeting you two!" Grace said, tugging on Strike's arm.

"Hey, Thunder, remember what I gave you." Strike said as he was pulled off.

"Oh, yeah!" Thunder said, pulling out the emerald necklace.

He put it on her, and it shone brighter than the sun for a minute. Then it died down to slight haze.

"I knew it." Thunder muttered to himself.

Elgrock, in his ship, flew up to the gang. Next to him was Mutant, in his bowl. Both got out, and started talking to Blu and Thunder.

"Hey, guys, meet Mutant." Elgrock said, smiling. "He's coming with us."

"After I buy my house, of course." Mutant said, rolling off to an empty, for sale house.

Blu had followed Grace's advice- do something special. She got some cooking supplies and made the most delicious spaghetti dinner ever. Thunder was surprised at her culinary talent, but Blu just shrugged it off and explained that her family was a long line of cooks. Which it was. After that, she served some dessert.

Then they rented out a hotel for the night. Blu and Thunder slept huddled together. Elgrock and Mutant slept fairly close together. Not like mates, more like close friends would do at a sleep-over.

The next morning was bright and sunny. Mutant made sure he had the deed to his new- old today- house. He checked to see the renovators refurnishing it, as well. After this, Elgrock did some calculations to see if the portal could still be opened.

"Alright, we have 5 –give or take a few minutes- hours until we have to go. What do you want to do in the meantime?" Elgrock said in a very scientific sounding voice.

"Thunder and I will go sightseeing!" Blu said energetically.

"But, it's the same sights as in the future." Mutant said confused. "Isn't it?"

"Well, yeah, but these are fresher! And some of the sights are still being built!" Thunder said, smiling.

"Alright then." Elgrock started. "What're you gonna do, Mutant?"

"Check on my house!" Mutant said, thinking of his decorations.

"I guess I'll just go but stuff, I guess." Elgrock said.

Everyone did as they said, and Thunder and Blu had a very romantic sightseeing trip. It felt as if it was nostalgia, though it happened 35 years before either of them had been born.

Hours later, Elgrock gathered up everyone. They all got into the ship, escalated into the sky, and flew off in the direction of the portal. Once they got there, it was still open.

"Alright, everyone ready?" Elgrock said, starting to rise into the portal. This question was rhetorical, as they had already been started before anyone could answer.

In a flash of lights and colors, they were back. Luke and Miranda were waiting for them above the hole.

"MAMA! MOOMI!" Luke screamed, as if he still called them that.

Blu and Thunder rushed to their first son, and gave him a group hug. Miranda joined in.

Mutant and Elgrock lived together with the rest of the elgyems.

"Hey, before we say goodbye," Elgrock started, "You guys might wanna go see my cousin. He's supposedly figuring out how to time travel." He gave them a slip of paper with his cousin's address on it.

"Thanks!" Thunder said as the whole gang walked back to HQ. On the way, there was a special tree in particular. It had a heart with "Blu + Thunder" on it. Thunder wrote that. Back in the past, which was the present of 50 years ago, but 50 years in the future 100 years ago.

Ya know, it occurs to me that I've missed Thunder's 15th birthday. Maybe next time? Maybe next time.

BYE!
