Previously on Council of the Annoyed...
"--And, since she's your mother, you three technically have an obligation to know, at the very least. So, if you help us, you're technically sealing her happiness." Moltrés finished up.
"So, how about about it?" Articuno asked sweetly, tilting her head to the side.
The dogs looked at each other.
"Well, we're definitely going to help," Suicune spoke up, "but..."
"Lugia didn't tell you guys he was gonna do it??" Entei finished, perplexed.
The birds slowly shook their heads, eyes narrowing at the implications of that statement.
"Well, he told us," Raikou quipped, fidgeting in the chair that was too small for him.
When the bird's eyes snapped wide open, Suicune hurriedly explained.
-
"It's alright," Articuno sighed. "But now I'm madder at Uncle than I already was."
"We can deal with that later, dear." Moltrés stated, stretching. "Right now, our allies here need to be filled in on our little plan."
"Yeah, speaking of that, what're we doing?" Raikou asked. "You kept mentioning it but never explained."
The sisters grinned mischeviously at each other.
"How good are you boys at baking?"
-
"So, we're making a giant cake?" Suicune asked, rising and walking around all the supplies.
"Not just any giant cake," Moltrés boasted, "The most magnificent giant cake anybody in Kanto or Jhoto has ever seen!!"
"What about the other regions?'' Entei piped up."Have you been to Kalos? I don't think we can impress the bakers there anytime soon."
"Fair point."
"Now, we're gonna split up into teams." Articuno continued, waving her wing to show she was addressing everyone. "Zapdos, Raikou, and Mewtwo are Team 1, Entei and Moltrés are Team 2, and then Suicune and I are Team 3. We're each gonna do a different part of the cake and then mash it all together in the end."
-
"So...what next? Seal them together?"
"Not just yet," Articuno replied. "We still have to make the container for Uncle to be in."
"I started it already," Mewtwo stated, levitating a cake-shaped container over. It appeared to be made out of some sort of reinforced steel.
"Oh, good!! Then Suicune and I can put the water in and then we'll seal the cake." Articuno replied, clapping her wings.
Suicune tilted his head.
"Come again?"
Articuno turned to him."Okay, so you're gonna fill this container here with water, which I'm gonna freeze, and then we'll seal it shut and put the cake around it."
Entei stared at it, confused.
"...Why, though?"
Zapdos then launched into an explanation.
"M'kay, so Uncle can breathe underwata, right? Well, if the 'tainer's shut, 'e won't be able ta breathe. So, we're gonna put water in there so that 'e can."
A series of understanding "Ooh"s came from the dogs.
"...Why ice, though? Won't he freeze?"
"One, because we can, and two, we don't give a--"
A cabinet then proceeded to break off and fall, smacking Articuno across the beak and cutting her off.
As she rubbed it, Raikou spoke up.
"Petty. I like it."
Disclaimer:If I owned Pokémon, FARFETCH'D WOULD HAVE EVOLVED INTO SOMETHING, LIKE, NOT THAT WEIRD "SIRFETCH'D" THING. I MEAN SERIOUSLY IT'S LITERALLY JUST A WHITE FARFETCH'D THAT'S 2 FEET TALLER WITH A LANCE. SERIOUSLY, IF THEY HAD REVEALED DELIBIRD TO BE FARFETCH'D'S REAL EVOLUTION THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER THAN THIS!! I MEAN COME ON EVEN A MUSTACHE--
Lugia sighed, reclining.
Rubbing the side of his head with a wing, he used telekinesis to float his cup of tea over and have a sip.
He then examined the liquid, the greenish colour that was starting to form the cooler it got a bit unsettling.
*This brew Arceus gave me...I don't know, something is just...off about it.*
He blinked, mulling something over.
*Hm...actually, yesterday was the first time I'd seen Arceus in a while. I wonder what--*
"Oh Uncle LUGIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~"
The bird screeched and fell out of his recliner at the sound of Moltrés' voice booming from the heavens.
Pushing himself up, the bird used his telekinesis to pull the waters above his living room apart, allowing the fire bird to descend.
Once she landed, he re-sealed it, looking at her.
She looked overly happy, considering the two's last encounter.
He inhaled.
"Moltrés, I--"
"Oh, Uncle, it's the oddest thing!!" She cut him off, whipping around and flying gracefully about his living room.
"I--er, what now??"
"It seems somebody--" She paused to admire her reflection in a nearby mirror, "Decided to make a massive cake, drag it to the nearby beach, and leave it there!!"
Once done gazing at her (self-dubbed) beautiful face, she glided over to a nearby flower pot, examining it.
"Oh, are these new? How I do love petunias. Anyways, as I was saying, There's currently a giant cake on the beach, and I do believe it's for you. Perhaps an apology gift of some sort; have you angered anyone recently, Uncle?"
Lugia gaped at her, the female's back to him.
His expression softened.
*That explains why she seems so...childish, I suppose? She only acts this way when she's feeling...guilty...*
"Moltrés, you didn't have to..."
"Nonsense, Uncle." She turned, looking up at the suspened water that served as a ceiling.
"Oh, look, a Milotic. Those are so very pretty."
She craned her head around, glancing at him.
"My, Uncle, you look so disheveled!"
The elder looked at himself, noting that his feathers did, indeed, look quite a bit frazzled.
"No matter, it shall either be rectified or not matter."
She beat her wings, suspending herself just below the water roof.
She looked down towards Lugia, clearing her throat.
He snappef out of his thoughts.
"Oh! Er, coming, I suppose..."
He split the waters apart, and the two ascended.
A little ways away, on the beach, in the surrounding forest, Articuno and the dogs waited for the two's arrival.
Suicune paced back and forth, Raikou watched some nearby Rattata brawl, Entei was asleep, and Articuno dilligently watched over the ocean.
"Hey guys," Raikou piped up, "if Moltrés uncle marries our mom, does that make us cousins or siblings?"
Articuno craned her head around, and Suicune paused his pacing.
"Well, we would be in-laws, at the very least. I'm not entirely sure if we'd be siblings or not."
He looked to Articuno.
"What do you think?"
The bird shrugged.
"I mean, like you said, it probably doesn't matter too much, considering that we'll be in-laws, but...yeah, I'm not sure."
She raised a brow.
"Why Moltrés, specifically?"
The two conscious dogs looked at each other, then at the sleeping Entei.
"...Oh, no reason."
The bird's jaw dropped, but when she was about to speak, wheezing caught her attention.
(No, not the Pokémon, the breathing movement)
The three looked at the beach, finding Zapdos and Mewtwo, sweating like crazy and breathing so hard you would think they were trying to inhale all the Earth's atmosphere, arriving with the cake.
Said cake was on a cart, harnesses on the front, waiting for the 6 Pokemon who would pull it.
Articuno grimaced.
"I am not looking forward to pulling that thing."
"Me neither," Suicune mused.
Raikou gave no response, staring at the harnesses, face taking on a reddish tint.
Zapdos proceeded to collapse face-down on the sand, Mewto throwing his hands on his knees and panting.
Suicune leaped over the bushes and trotted to them.
"What happened to you two?"
Mewtwo raised his head, eyes wide and pupils dilated.
Zapdos' head shot up and he screeched.
"WHY THE HECKIN' HECKLES ARE DITTOS SO DANG WEIRD?!"
"And why do apricorns attract massive flocks of Pokémon?! And whose idea was it to use them on this stupid cake?!"
The blue dog took a step back, shooting a glance at the approaching Articuno and Raikou.
"I think it Moltrés' idea." Articuno replied, examining the cake.
Raikou tilted his head.
"Seriously, what's up with you guys?"
The two glared at him.
"We," Mewtwo began with what sounded like a snarl in his voice, "Were chased by seemingly every Pokémon in Jhoto, got cornered by a whorde of accult Dittos, and almost got caught by some idiot punk trainers."
"Oh man, that sucks."
He growled in Articuno's direction.
"If I wasn't so tired, I'd kill all of you for making us bring this thing by ourselves."
Suicune then spoke up.
"Kill us later Mewtwo, they're coming!!"
The five dived back into the bushes, peeking back over to watch the approaching birds.
Raikou woke Entei in the process.
Once the six were all ready, they continued, waiting for Moltrés' signal.
The duo landed, Lugia padding over to the giant cake.
He gazed at it, mouth watering.
"Moltrés..."
He then took notice of the harnesses.
"...Moltrés...?"
Suddenly, a certain feminine voice came from behind him.
"Alright, Uncle, I give you two choices."
At her cold tone, Lugia shivered.
He tried to turn around, but he felt her talons dig into the sensitive area of his lower back, causing his legs to lock up.
"M-Moltrés--"
"Now, we could do this willingly, and you won't take as many hits to the head; or, we can do this..."
She shot a flamethrower into the air.
"...The hard way."
Lugia saw Suicune, Entei, Raikou, Articuno, Mewtwo, and Zapdos enter the scene, grinning.
Fear began to consume the older bird.
"What...what are you all..."
"Well? What's your answer, Uncle?"
Spite laced the last word.
Yikes.
"I...don't know what you all are doing," he hissed, "but it needs...to stop...now!"
"THAT MEANS THE HARD WAY!!" Articuno yelled, taking to the air.
Zapdos joined her, the two charging up beams.
The dogs did so as well, and he could feel Moltrés starting to heat up.
"CHILDREN--"
Ka-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!
(Welp, there went Lugia XD)
The smoking crater that was left in the wake up the combined moves now contained a charred--and unconscious--Lugia.
Suicune and Entei peered down over the hole, seing if he was alive.
"He's alive," Suicune confirmed.
"Then let's get him in the cake!" Articuno grinned.
After a long process of dragging the bird out, having Mewtwo levitate him in the air, and flinging him carelessly into the ice water, the birds and dogs began strapping themselves into the harnesses.
Mewtwo sat on the cart, in front of the cake.
He didn't realize, but as his mind drifted high above the clouds, his legs began to swing like a little kid's would.
"--and dang, these lil' bells are--Two, are you listenin'?!"
The clone jumped slightly, looking at Zapdos.
"Sorry, were you talking to me?"
"Yeah, kinda. Rantin's more like it."
Mewtwo noted that the harness seemed overly tight on Zapdos' smaller torso.
The bird puffed out his chest.
"Whatcha lookin' fer? Wanna see if me an' Articuno got the same chest?"
Mewtwo's face exploded in red.
"WHAT?! NO!!"
"Are you suuuuuuuure, Mewtwo?" Moltrés' voice came from the side, almost purring.
The fire bird's harness seemed tight on her as well outlining certain...features.
"If so, you ought to look at me instead; I am female, after all..."
She glanced at Zapdos.
"Then again, if being female is the issue, Zapdos shouldn't have a problem in that regard."
"What's that s'posed to mean?!"
Mewtwo was unconcerned by the bickering for once, choosing instead to yank Zapdos up to his face via psychic energy.
"Did you tell her?!"
The bird shrugged.
"Actu'lly, she walked in on me writin' up mah '311 Ways ta Kill Mewtwo if He Hurts Articuno' list, and she helped me out when I explained."
He grinned.
"We got 420 reasons now."
Mewtwo facepalmed, dropping the bird.
"Moltres?! Why are these things so dang tight?!"
Mewtwo knew he probably shouldn't look.
He did anyway.
Articuno pecked at the harness, her small torso being outlined by it.
Mewtwo slammed his face into his hands, wishing he had died in that stupid laboratory.
Suicune managed to get his on, his slender frame also outlined; the pink was, admitedly, a nice accent on his blue fur.
Entei's could barely be seen, sinking deep into his brown mass of a coat.
"Are we ready?" The blue dog asked.
The others nodded.
"Alright, I guess we'll get in forma--wait, Raikou."
He turned around.
"Raikou, are you rea..."
The yellow beast sat on his haunches, harness around him, entire body redder than a Daruma.
"...Are you alright?"
The yellow beast rose, walking to the carriage, and sitting in his decided spot.
"...Alright then...?"
The others got into their positions: Suicune and Entei in the front, Raikou and Zapdos in the middle, and Articuno and Moltrés in the back.
Mewtwo attatched the 'reigns' to each of them, then climbed up onto the cart again.
"Ready?"
A chorus of "Yeah"s and "Yes"s and a "Somebody kill me" came from the six.
"Alright..."
He smacked the reigns up and down.
"Away!!"
And with that, the dogs curled their legs under themselves, leaping; the birds took flight.
The carriage sailed into the air.
I was originally gonna put a Christmas Joke in that last part, but I couldn't figure the rhyme out XD y'all just gotta wait 3 more months until the special, I guess.
