I'm back again and about time too! And this time...I'm in the mood! I can...I can...ah Moltres poop I can't think of anything for this! Just start the chapter already!
Swift: SuperDaikenki does not own Pokémon. This is a fan made story made by his own characters and the characters of others…
*A Cofagrigus appears out of nowhere* FOURTH WALL!
Ok! Who brought him here!?
Chapter 53: The Plan
"For the love of Arceus would you stop hitting me!?" Dew shouted
"Not unless you tell me where Swift is." Marine snapped back
"I told you I don't know, they dragged me here and Swift is somewhere with my team." The Dewott repeated yet again.
"Either you really are stupid or you don't know, I guess you will have to do until they find the good heir. Right Squishy?" Marine said with disgust at the prospect of marrying Dew.
"It will be fairly easy since I am not marrying you." Dew grunted yet again.
"Look, we have no choice, I don't like you and you don't like me. But this is something that we have to do, got it?"
Dew cursed at himself as Marine walked extremely close to him.
"You really don't know about the clans do you huh?" she asked, surprisingly more calmly than she was previously. "I'll tell you, but only if you do something for me."
"Why can't you tell me now?" Dew asked with a bit of uncertainty and annoyance from her recent actions.
"Look, since we are practically forced to marry, we have no other choice. Think of this as a partnership now help me here and I'll help you Squishy…"
"I have a name you know…"
"Until you prove to not be so..squishy" Marine said as eyed the Dewott's body "That will be your name...now as for you helping me, it could help you to prove you not so..squishy.."
"Oh no, I am not-" Dew started before Marine cut him off.
"No you perv not -that-' Marine said quickly shaking her head "Sheesh, I barely know you and you already expect me to ask you to-"
'Just stop!" spoke Dew quickly "What is it?"
'Well, if you want to prove you're not squishy then go and...acquire an object from that old fart of a grandfather of yours."
Dew let out a low sigh before staring at her "You mean you want me to steal from the Clan Elder?" The Dewott's voice filled with disbelief.
"Of course, you want to know more about the clans do you? I'll tell you once you agree to help me." Marine offered but the Dewott gave the Buizel an unsure look.
"I might as well ask the elder about the clans instead of stealing from them." Dew tells Marine "So why won't you tell me now?"
"For the love of Arceus you are stubborn as you are squishy. You'd likely to get barely half of the truth from that geezer. But all I'm asking for you is to help me out here….please." the Buizel answered nearly forcing out the last word in the sentence.
"Alright, I'll do it." Dew replied with a sigh as Marine hid a faint smile.
"Ok Squishy, I'll tell you." Marine started "You see, both of our clans were originally from a faraway region near the Water Continent. Back then it was known as Ransei…"
"Ransei?" Dew questioned "I've heard of it but I thought it was just a myth."
"Nope, it exists like the true face of a Cubone. Now….from what I know both of our clans had some connection with humans where a massive war was fought.
"The humans?" Dew asked with shock in his voice. He doesn't have the best history with them but this certainly peaked his interest.
"Apparently yes, there are scrolls that both of our clans kept that explains more about this, but that can be talked about later. But I'm getting off topic, our clans used to live together in peace until thirty years ago.
"Thirty years ago? What happened?" Dew asked again.
"Well...the previous leader of your clan was murdered and his brother happened to take over. He blamed the murder on our clan and attacked us, stealing one of our key treasures….the Crystal Dewdrop."
"The Crystal Dewdrop? What value does it have to the clans if Grand Elder Roshi stole it?" Dew asked once again.
"To be honest, I don't know…." Marine said unsure. "My father, who's the leader of my clan doesn't even tell me about this. Apparently it holds some sacred power to Water types, that's all I know."
"Then why-" Dew was about to ask before getting hit in the head by Marine once again.
"Just do it Squishy!" she shouted.
-000-
"What is it Jesse?" Mystic asked. The Riolu said nothing as he closed his eyes and sensed the aura of three other Pokémon, almost being similar to Dew and Swift's.
"We're being watched!" Jesse said alerting his friends. Swift turned around and saw several Scalchops flew towards the group. The Dewott acted quickly as he drew his own, two brief flashes of light and two of the projectiles were knocked out of the air by his Razor Shell.
A very high pitched scream from Static revealed that the other two scalchops flew over the Pikachu's head.
"Wow…." Morgan and Mystic said to themselves as the Zorua and Meowth barely avoided a scalchop that was thrown at the two girls.
"Static, the cave maybe bright enough to see in, but there are still shadows." Jesse said still using his aura to see five familiar shapes moving and hiding in different parts of the cave near them.
"Wait what?" Static asked confused
"Use Thunderbolt so they won't hide from us…" the Riolu replied in a deadpan tone.
The Pikachu did as he was told and used Thunderbolt. Numerous bolts of electricity filled the room. The team took cover to avoid being hit, but unfortunately for two of the opposing Pokémon, they were hit with the electric type attack in the process. Static then called off his attack and there was silence. Jesse then used his aura to check the surroundings to see three figures trying to help the two that were fallen.
Jesse ran towards the area with Swift taking notice of it followed the Riolu. Several yards away, Jesse and Swift found three Dewott's who were trying to help the two that were hit, the ones who were hit laid in a puddle of water. They looked to see Jesse and prepared to attack him with Razor Shell. Before the Riolu could react, a single scalchop knocked the shells off of the three Pokémon's hands. Surprised, everyone turned to Swift as his own scalchop returned to him.
"Swift!?" One of the Dewott's said surprised as the opposing Dewott walked past Jesse towards the three. Morgan, Mystic, and Static soon caught up with them.
"Who are they?" Jesse asked glancing at Swift, the usual suspicion that laid in his tone was gone.
"Members of the clan….actually, the ones who are supposed to be guarding the area.
"Hey, we should be asking you questions!" one of the Dewotts said as he's getting up before being tackled by Morgan.
"Where is my brother Steven!?"
"I don't know who you are talking about." Responded the water type who's pinned under the feline
"You've taken a Dewott here recently. One of which happens to share maternal blood with me and that Meowth over here…" Swift said pointing to Morgan while Jesse and Static tried to pull her off.
"Wait? You're telling me that you and that Meowth are related!?" one of them asked surprised.
"So you and the one the clan brought in are the half breeds." One of the Dewotts snorted in disdain.
"You mean the half breeds that just beat you?" Swift asked calmly a she saw some of the Dewott's faces turned into scowls.
"Actually, that was me…" Static said confidently before earning a smack to the head by one of the Dewotts.
"HEY!" Morgan shouted "Only we can do that to him."
"And who are you?"
"We're Team Ivory of the Ninetales guild." Jesse answered as he revealed his badge "We were on our way back before you kidnapped our friend.
"Now that I think about it, he should be with the grand elder. One of our members was hurt when they fought with him…." another Dewott spoke rubbing his head.
"Now….could you just take us to our friend?" Mystic asked before using her illusion to turn into a large Drapion "You wouldn't want to say no to a Zorua would you?"
-000-
"So...this Crystal Dew is with the grand elder right?" Dew asked rubbing his head.
"More than likely since you are of his blood, you would have better access of finding it since you'll be living with him…" Marine stated.
"But you would also be staying with me since we are practically 'engaged' at this point…" Dew pointed out causing Marine to face-paw herself. She hates to admit it, but he's right.
"True….." Marine said with a sigh before sitting on a stump near the cave "Look, we might as well just pretend that we're a couple so nobody would notice…"
"As long as you don't hit me every five seconds, it could work…" Dew answered approaching the Buizel "Besides, while looking for said Crystal Dewdrop, I would like to learn more about the clans.
"Ok…" Marine said rubbing her face for a moment before turning to a sly smirk. "Let's start with a little bit of practice."
"Wait WHA-!?" Dew shouted before he got tackled by Marine. Unknown to the duo, Swift and Team Ivory were led out of the cave by the Dewotts they've talked to. Everyone's eyes widened, but Morgan and Mystic seemed to be the most surprised as they saw Marine on top of Dew as the Dewott tried to push her off him.
"DEW!?" The two Water types heard as they saw the other's looking at them. A massive blush crept on their face while Marine noticed one in particular, Swift.
"THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" the duo shouted in unison
(...)
"UNACCEPTABLE!" a Samurott shouted to a female Oshawott in front of a crowd of their evolution line. The Oshawott was beaten and sprawled on the ground as the Samurott sheathed his sword into his armor.
"Y-you…." The Oshawott muttered, looking up to see the glare of the formidable Pokémon
"You've defied this clan and tarnished its name for so long. Your father of all Pokémon raised you to be weak." The Elder declared as his blood red gaze was focused directly onto the Oshawott "Weak and pathetic."
The Oshawott looked up about to speak before the Elder slammed the flat of his seamitar onto her body, sending her skidding into the surrounding evolution line.
"SILENCE!" the Elder roared before she could even open her mouth to defend herself. "You have broken clan customs, it's as simple as that."
"As of this day, do not bother returning. Your days in this clan are done!"
*flashback ends*
Aqua walked through a dense forest where she had many different thoughts rush through her head. Normally she wouldn't get bothered by this, but seeing her kids for the first time in so long.
"Maybe leaving Arrow wasn't the best idea…" the Samurott thought before finding a river. Sure he would like to see their kids as well, but he understood what Aqua has to do, she got a quick drink before going on her way.
Moments later as she continued to walk, a certain shiny Riolu and Kirlia approached her direction, the approaching Pokémon paid no attention to each other as they walked past each other. Sensing something, Aqua quickly withdrew her sword and turned around, however nobody is there except for a Phantump that flew by,
"Thought so…" she said to herself before withdrawing her weapon. She turned around to resume her destination. Unknown to her, the same Riolu and Kirlia watched Aqua from the distance before walking their own way.
FINALLY I'M DONE WITH A CHAPTER! Well….Team Ivory has been reunited...though Dew and Marine may have some explaining to Dew *receives boos from the pun* The Crystal Dew seems to involve the clans in some way, but the clans seems to have some sort of secret….plus Aqua! I don't know what I'm saying anymore, anyways…what do you think please-
Static: Review everyone and you'll be cool like me!
