Yes, it's finally here! Okay, time to get something off my chest. I was inspired by a fanfiction, and it was good, but received quite harsh criticism. So if you have to criticise this chapter, please let it be constructive, or else I'll be very tempted to ignore your advice. I'm not saying don't criticise, because in my chapter special, I encouraged it, as long as it's constructive. Now that's out of the way, let's get on with the story!
Lucy sat on the ground wishing that she'd get the chance to see him again. Now he was a far way away from here. From what she heard, Brock would be in Pewter City again. But she knew she wouldn't be able to leave the Frontier to travel across the planet.
Hoothoot fluttered down and perched on Lucy's shoulder. It was then when Lucy got an idea. Lucy got out an old piece of paper, then got out a pen and wrote:
Hello.
Are you Brock? If you're not, that's okay.
I'm looking for the most adorable Pokémon breeder I've ever met.
He has eyes like a Swinub, skin tone like a Swinub too.
I pray to Arceus for this note to get to him. Would he be in Pewter City?
I wish to see him again, but for now I must reach him via note.
I would like you to come back, but you must be busy…
…have I reached you yet? –Lucy, Pike Queen.
Lucy rolled up the paper and put it in Hoothoot's beak. "Please take this note the furthest you can to Pewter City," Lucy smiled. Hoothoot smiled and nodded, fluttering off into the sky.
X-X-X
Hoothoot gradually flew down onto the forest ground. She found herself looking at a Togetic. Hoothoot gave him the note. Togetic opened the note and looked at it. He nodded at Hoothoot and rolled back up the paper, then flew off into the distance.
X-X-X
Togetic soared through the sky. He was going the furthest to Kanto, when he barely even left Hoenn. He breathed heavily and fluttered down, luckily landing on a Wailord. Wailord looked up at Togetic and smiled. Togetic opened the rolled-up note for Wailord to read. Togetic put the rolled-back-up paper on Wailord's back and flew a little more back to Hoenn.
X-X-X
Wailord swam as far as he could, until he was in the middle of Hoenn and Johto. Wailord started breathing heavily, until an Emolga looked like she swooped from the heavens. It seemed like Emolga was asking him what was wrong. Wailord repeatedly shifted his eyes upwards to his back. Emolga hovered on top of Wailord's back, and opened the note.
She then rolled it back up and flew off Wailord, saluting him as she soared off into the distance, holding the note of course.
X-X-X
Emolga was fast enough and had enough stamina to reach the outskirts of Johto. She landed on the sand and looked around. Finally, she walked towards a Murkrow. Emolga gave him the note, and of course Murkrow read it. Murkrow rolled it back up and rocketed across the region with the rolled-up note in his beak.
X-X-X
It was when Murkrow got to a small town when he couldn't fly anymore. He lied on the floor, trying to catch his breath. A Staravia walked up to Murkrow and helped him up. Murkrow smiled and gave her the note. Staravia had read it and carried it in her beak.
X-X-X
Finally, we're leaving Johto. Kanto was only across the sea, and Staravia soared across the sea with all her energy. She was getting tired eventually, but conveniently, she landed on a ship heading for Kanto. She got off the ship and flew across the houses, landing in a forest. A Diglett suddenly appeared in front of Staravia and said hello. Staravia asked a favour, letting Diglett read the note. Diglett grinned and took the note, going underground to Pewter City.
X-X-X
Diglett rose from the ground to find Brock battling a challenger.
"Wigglytuff is unable to battle! Steelix wins and the match goes to Brock!" the referee announced. Quite proudly, I might add.
"It feels good to be battling with you again, Steelix," Brock smiled. Steelix smiled back at him and slithered outside for some fresh air.
"Glad to see you're doing gym battles again, Brock," said the challenger who was named Jason.
"You can come back here anytime," Brock grinned, shaking hands with Jason. Jason withdrew his Wigglytuff and walked out. Diglett moved towards Brock with the note on his bald head. Brock kneeled down at Diglett.
"Hey there, little guy," Brock smiled. Brock then took the note and opened it. He then read it carefully. Suddenly, he looked like he had too much caffeine. He jumped in the air and let out a loud victory cry. Then he calmed down and got out a piece of paper.
Hello.
This is Brock, are you Lucy?
I'd love to come back, but I'm afraid I have to be in charge of the gym.
I was going to suggest you come over, but you're still the Pike Queen, hehe.
I really miss you. Hopefully I'll get to see you again.
And when we do, I hope we'll be able to go out sometime.
If we do, I'll never flirt with another girl again. Hehe.
…have I reached you yet? –Brock, Pewter City Gym Leader
Brock put this note on Diglett's head.
"Get this as closest as you can to the Battle Frontier," Brock pleaded. Luckily, Brock couldn't understand Pokémon language, including the large groan Diglett let out.
This was fun to write. Hope you had fun reading it. ;)
Hint on next chapter: What kind of pseudo-legendry's scared of fairies? Oh wait…well that'll make your guessing harder then.
