Jackal-Rabbit Drabbles
Drabble Pack 2!
7. Flex
The gang were still in the middle of their Unova trip, and were currently visiting one of the Don George bros' Battle Clubs. Lucario was doing bicep curls with some heavy weights in both paws, focusing on building the muscles in his arms. Cinderace had just finished using a treadmill and was wiping the sweat off of his head and shoulders with a towel.
The bunny tossed the towel over his left shoulder, "Whoo! Now that was a work out! This place is awesome!"
Continuing to work his arms, Lucario glanced sideways at Cinderace and said, "Tired already?"
Cinderace put his paws at his sides and said with certainty, "I gave it my all today!"
Lucario finished up his bicep curls and let the heavy weights fall. He then looked directly at Cinderace and said, "I see no difference. As for me. . ." Lucario then extended both arms and flexed, showing off his impressive muscles.
Cinderace's eyes widened, clearly impressed by Lucario's physique. He then looked at his own white, fluffy arms. He made a pitiful attempt at flexing them, frowning rather self consciously. He then looked back up at Lucario, who had a small, sky grin on his face. In response, Cinderace huffed and turned his back to Lucario.
The blue Pokemon rolled his eyes and said, "Well, it looks like someone is jeal-." His voice trailed off when he saw Cinderace do something unexpected.
The bunny had placed both his paws on his knees, widened his stance, and went into a deep squat. It took Lucario a moment to notice how well toned the bunny's legs were. Cinderace then craned his neck to look behind him, and he cheekily stuck his tongue out at Lucario.
The blue dog found himself looking down at his own legs without realizing it. For a brief moment he stared down at them with disdain, but in the next he shook off his funk and remarked, "Well, you have your strengths. . ." he the proceeded to flex his arms again, ". . .and I have mine."
8. Slice
A pizza box containing one last slice sat on the table in between Cinderace and Lucario. The pair's eyes were locked in a war of attrition. One shade of red bore against a differing shade of red. Cinderace's two front teeth bit slightly into his lower lip, while Lucario was the very picture of calm and focus. The bunny's face was twitching and his paws were gripping the edge of the table as tightly as possible.
Predictably, Cinderace was the first to blink.
Lucario chuckled and quickly snagged the final slice of pizza as Cinderace rubbed at his dry eyes.
"You used your Aura powers to cheat!" Cinderace whined.
"No, that's not how it works," Lucario denied, "I simply know how to focus, both inside and out of battle." Lucario sniffed the slice and said with a frown, "Urk. I hate cold pizza."
Cinderace suddenly brightened up and said with a smile, "Oh, I can fix that for you!" He then lifted his right leg and plopped his foot onto the table.
Lucario made a wry face and stepped back. "Don't even think of it, I'll gladly eat it cold if that's the other option."
9. Footprints
"You wouldn't be so hot without your fancy Aura powers," Cinderace said with a pout.
"Whatever you say," Lucario muttered, not bothering to turn around to address the bunny.
"You'd be totally lost without them," Cinderace declared.
"Sure," Lucario grumbled.
"If I hid somewhere, and you had to find me without your Aura senses, you couldn't!" Cinderace challenged.
This got Lucario's attention, and he turned around fast and poked the bunny in the chest. "Challenge. Accepted," Lucario said sternly.
Cinderace smiled and said, "I get five minutes to run and hide. You gotta find me without using those extra Aura ear thingies. It'll take you hours."
Lucario folded his arms and said, "And what if I can?"
Cinderace shrugged with closed eyes and a smirk and said, "I'll put my foot in my mouth. But if you take more than half an hour to find me, it goes in your mouth. We'll get Rotom Phone to time you."
The Electric-Ghost Type flew in and said, "I heard everything you said and I'm game! Ready when you are!"
Lucario nodded and pointed out into the park and surrounding city, "I'm ready right now. So go! Get going!"
Cinderace dashed off at top speed, leaving Lucario and Rotom Phone in the dust.
Five minutes later, Cinderace was a great distance away from where he had started, and was hidden underneath a parked truck, making sure to position himself right in the middle so that the tires wouldn't run him over should it start up. Cinderace had a paw over his mouth as he chuckled at how clever he was and how much he'd relish the look on Lucario's face.
"I hope Rotom Phone snaps a picture of his face when the timer goes off," Cinderace thought to himself.
Suddenly, something grabbed Cinderace by the tail and dragged him out from underneath the truck. Cinderace rolled over and gasped at the sight of a triumphant looking Lucario. With a flash of light, Rotom Phone snapped a picture of the gobsmacked rabbit.
"How'd you-? CHEATER!" Cinderace shouted angrily.
Rotom Phone floated side to side in his version of a nod and said, "Nope! He didn't use his Aura powers to find you! I cannot tell a lie!"
Cinderace's ears hung low and he said, "But-but-but how'd you-?"
Lucario just smiled and pointed. Cinderace looked and his eyes widened when he saw that he had left a trail of scorched footprints in the asphalt.
Lucario nodded and said, "Now who's too dependent on their powers?"
Cinderace stared up at Lucario, and then hung his head in defeat.
"Well. . . open your mouth and kick," Lucario said with a knowing look, "Come on, I know you're flexible enough."
10. Girls
"Heeey, check it out," Cinderace said with an eager grin, nudging Lucario and pointing.
Lucario looked over and saw what Cinderace was pointing to. It was a female Lopunny hopping through the tall grass. Lucario turned back to Cinderace, and saw how he was staring at the Lopunny with a dreamy expression on his face. Cinderace had his paws clasped together as he adored the bunny girl from a distance.
Lucario scowled and smacked Cinderace on the back of the head.
"OW! What was that for!?" Cinderace demanded of his friend.
Lucario continued to scowl and said, "You should be ashamed of yourself! Going gaga over a girl like she's an object for you to obtain!"
Cinderace threw his arms up into the air and said, "What? I know she's a Pokemon with a mind of her own! And she's also pretty and I'd like to get to know her. What's wrong with that?"
Lucario huffed and rolled his eyes, and he said, "Fine. But you can't just fall in love with someone you've just meet. Or just seen. It's silly, it's stupid, it's duuuuuuuu-."
Cinderace stared at Lucario in bewilderment as the jackal's mouth hung open and he appeared to stare off into space. Cinderace turned to follow his gaze, and he noticed a female Braixen walking through a nearby field gathering flowers.
Cinderace blinked once, then he turned back to Lucario, who now had hearts in his eyes. Cinderace smirked and smacked Lucario on the back of his head.
"Ack! What are you-!?" Lucario demanded.
Cinderace cut him off by offering him his clenched paw and saying, "Got get 'er, tiger."
Lucario was briefly caught off guard by this, then he smiled back and mirrored the gesture and said, "You too."
The pair fist bumped, and then went their separate ways to introduce themselves to the females that caught their respective eyes.
A short time later, the pair return to the same spot with something they hadn't had earlier. Lucario had a burn mark on his head right between his ears, while Cinderace had a black eye.
"Maybe pals before gals is the way to go," Cinderace suggested sheepishly.
Lucario stared at Cinderace, his mood slightly improved by the fact that his friend and rival had the same level of success as him, then managed a small smile and said, "Young, free, and single!"
11. Attract (DeadWheat)
Cinderace jogged across the field next to Professor Oak's Lab and cried out to the group of red and orange Pokemon, "Hello fellow Fire-types!"
Charizard, Quilava, Infernape, Torkoal, Pignite, and Talonflame all turned to see the speedy rabbit rushing towards them. Cinderace skidded to a halt in front of them, scorching a skid mark into the grass as he stood boldly before the six fire types.
Infernape let out a whistle and said, "Well, you sure are fast on your feet."
Torkoal blinked slowly and said, "Why do I feel threatened all of a sudden?"
Charizard laughed jovially and marched over to Cinderace, clapping him on the back and nearly knocking him over, "Well, well, well! You must be from the Galar Region. What do they call you?"
Cinderace regained his balance and said, "I'm Cinderace! The Striker Pokemon!"
Pignite looked inquisitively at the bunny and asked, "So, you're Ash's newest Fire-type?"
"NO HE'S NOT!"
Everyone turned to see Lucario charging over to the group. He snarled as he ran up to Cinderace and caught him in a headlock.
"This clown is not a part of Ash's Team! He belongs to Ash's traveling companion! Ash didn't catch any Fire-types in Galar!" Lucario insisted.
"Hey, who are you calling a clown?!" Cinderace said, and with one swift kick, he knocked Lucario off his feet and sent the two of them crashing down. This resulted in a big dust cloud obscured Ball of Violence with the occasional leg or arm swinging out amid the tussle.
Some distance away; Bayleaf, Torterra, Sceptile, Snivy, and Bulbasaur all watched the scene unfold.
Snivy rolled her eyes and said, "Ugh! Boys!" She then blushed and looked over at Bulbasaur. "No offense," she added.
"None taken," Bulbasaur replied good naturedly.
Sceptile frowned and said to Torterra, "Hey, what are we? Two big piles of leaves?"
"You know Bayleaf and Bulbasaur are the only Grass-types she hangs out with," Torterra replied patiently.
Bayleaf stuck her head in between the two males and said in a sing song voice, "That's riiiiight!"
Bulbasaur looked over at the cartoonish fight scene and said, "Well, I'd better get over there and help smooth things over."
Snivy waved it off and said, "Forget it. I doubt they'll be here for long. The weird fire-Lopunny's Trainer might show up soon. Either that or they'll tire themselves out before long."
Suddenly, an Aura Sphere shot up into the air where Staraptor and Unfezant were flying. The attack exploded, not injuring them, but nevertheless knocked the pair out of the sky and to the ground. Before the Grass-types could really respond to this, another attack, this one a Pyro Ball, shot right towards them. The attack struck inches away from Bulbasaur, sending him tumbling backwards until he was stopped by a fencepost.
"Bulby!" Snivy cried out in genuine concern, running over to Bulbasaur and quickly using her vines to roll him off of his bulb and onto his stomach.
Bulbasaur's eyes spun in circles and said, "Urgh. . . did you get the level of the Legendary that hit me?"
Snivy frowned sorrowfully, let her eyes filled up with rage as she whispered, "I will avenge you."
Bayleaf covered her mouth with a paw and said, "Ohhh-oooh-oooh!"
Sceptile looked skyward and said, "They're doomed."
The Fire-types all watched the Lucario and Cinderace's impromptu wrestling match.
Quilava shook his head and said, "This is just sad. Very unprofessional."
Torkoal looked to his friends and said, "Should we. . .do something?"
Pignite smirked and pointed, "We don't have to. Watch."
Everyone turned to see Snivy approaching them. The sassy Grass-type put her paws on her hips and stared at the Ball of Violence. She then winked and used Attract, sending pink hears flying into the brawl. Within seconds, both Lucario and Cinderace stopped fighting and stood side by side, staring down at Snivy with hearts in their eyes and their mouths hanging open.
"Baaaaaaby! Darling!" Cinderace crooned out in adoration as he clasped his paws together.
Lucario place a paw over his heart and said, "Your wish is my command, most beautiful one!"
"Ignore him! I am your one true love!" Cinderace cried out as he raised his arms to the heavens.
"I can provide far more safety, security, support, and adoration to you than he ever could!" Lucario pleaded as he got down on one knee.
Snivy couldn't help but smirk. Even though the pair were still arguing, they were more focused on just her due the effects of her Attract. She chuckled and said, "Well, well, well. You are both very handsome specimens. However, the one thing I appreciate the most in a male is this: a hard head. Show me, which one of you has the hardest head?"
The heart-eyed pair stared down at the smug Snivy for a moment. Then they slowly turned to look at each other.
CLUNK!
If they had actually used the move Headbutt against each other, the results would have been different. However, as neither of them actually knew the move, they simply knocked their heads against each other hard enough to knock each other out. Fortunately, they'd be no worse for wear upon waking up, aside from a slight headache.
Snivy smiled and turned to leave, but stopped briefly to remark to the Fire-types, "Class dismissed, boys."
Thanks again DeadWheat for the idea. Please suggest more if you'd like. Anyone can suggest as many prompts and ideas as they'd like!
