Lukes New TR47 Fanfic Chapter VI: Magick's New Pokemon

Magick hopped around Luke's apartment on her crutches, careful not to trip over anything. She wouldn't be able to walk on her leg for another three weeks. She sat down on the couch, then picked up the remote and switched on the TV. She channel-surfed until she found a good show, then put the remote down on the table next to the couch.

Magick glanced at the wall, then began staring at the picture of Luke and Michi that was hanging there. She had been thinking about Luke a lot more recently. She also noticed that Joey was getting a bit jealous.

Magick laid down on the couch, being careful to put up her leg without disturbing it too much. She sighed, then noticed a book that was sitting next to the couch. She picked it up, then began flipping through the pages. It was somebody's journal. She turned to the most recent entry and began reading.

"Today was another great day. I spent the day searching for Pokemon with the gang. Although we only caught a Caterpie, we all had an awesome time. Joey almost caught a Pikachu, but it was a bit too fast for her. Actually, it was a bit too fast for all of us. We all had lunch in a clearing, then headed back to my apartment. Magick couldn't come with us since she has to stay off her feet as much as possible for an entire week. I've noticed something. Ever since I caught Magick after she was shot and fell out the window, she's been acting differently around me. I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's love. I don't know about Magick, but feel it every time I see her. I discovered it after carrying her to the hospital, and also when I was in her room waiting for her to wake up. Perhaps we always loved each other, but it seems that it required a situation like that for me to realize it. I guess I'll have to wait and see."

Magick put the journal back down, then looked at the picture on the wall again. So, Luke really did feel the same way about her as she did about him. She giggled, then laid her head down on a pillow and fell asleep.

Magick woke up an hour later when the door of Luke's apartment opened and closed. She sat up, then smiled when Luke walked in with a few bags of groceries. He put them on the table in the kitchen, then walked over to the couch with a glass of water and a pill. He handed them to Magick, then she smiled and thanked him. Luke had been keeping track of Magick's medication schedules for her, because she tended to forget.

Magick got up after taking her medicine, then hobbled over to the table. She still wasn't quite used to using crutches, although she was getting there. She helped Luke put the groceries away, then sat down in a chair. Magick picked up a Master Ball that was sitting on the counter top next to her and examined it. She popped it open, but was disappointed since it was empty.

Magick sighed, then looked up at Luke. "Hey Luke, catch."

Luke had his back turned to Magick, but he quickly turned around to face her as she tossed the Master Ball to him. Magick had accidentally pressed the small button on the front of the Master Ball, thus arming it. The Master Ball popped open right before Luke caught it, then he began glowing. He was pulled into it, then the Master Ball snapped shut and landed on the floor.

The Master Ball bounced on the floor as Luke tried desperately to break free. His attempts were futile since it was a Master Ball. The ball stopped bouncing, then emitted a small ping. Magick quickly dashed over to where the Master Ball was lying on the floor. She picked it up, then popped it open. A white flash came from the Master Ball, then Luke appeared in front of Magick.

"What just happened?" Luke asked.

Magick giggled, then held up the Master Ball she was holding in her hand. "I just caught you by accident. I tossed you the Master Ball, and somehow it activated in the process."

Luke smiled, although he wasn't too thrilled about being caught. He was part Pokemon, which is why the Master Ball had worked on him. Magick giggled again, then put the Master Ball in her pocket.

"I guess I should keep this, since you were caught with it."

Luke laughed quietly, then walked over to Magick. "Well, I guess I have to hang around since I'm your Pokemon now."

Luke then kissed Magick on the cheek and walked to his bedroom. Magick blushed and giggled, then pulled the Master Ball out of her pocket. She looked at it for a few minutes, then put it back in her pocket.

Magick walked into Luke's room, then sat down on his bed. He was sleeping soundly, so she laid her crutches down next to the bed and transformed into her Mew form. Luke was sleeping on his side, so she curled up next to his stomach to keep warm and fell asleep.

Luke stirred a bit and put his arm around her, still sleeping. He tended to move while he was asleep. Michi came home after a little while. It was late, and Michi knew that Luke was home by now. She peeked into his room, then giggled when she saw Luke and Magick curled up together. They looked so cute.

Michi quietly snuck into her room and grabbed a camera, then softly opened Luke's door. She switched off the flash, because Luke's lamp was on and would provide enough light. She switched on the camera, then snapped a picture. She took another, then shut the door and put the camera away. She changed into her pajamas, then climbed into her own bed and fell asleep . . .

Tac looked at the apartment carefully, then turned to the owner. "I'll take it."

"Great. Just fill out this paperwork and it will be yours. The minimum contract is one year."

Tac looked at the paperwork, then at the owner. "I'd like to buy it."

The person turned around in surprise, then said, "Are you serious?"

Tac opened the bag he was carrying and pulled out quite a few bundles of hundred-dollar bills. "Does this look serious to you?"

The owner immediately grabbed the money and handed Tac the deed to the apartment. "It's all yours!"

Tac and the man shook hands, then the man left quickly, stuffing the bundles of money in his briefcase. Tac looked around the apartment again, then sat down on the couch. The apartment was a long way away from the Team Rocket HQ, but it was even farther away from Joey's apartment. Joey was lucky, because Tac didn't have a clue where her apartment was.

Tac, however, was too busy holding a grudge against Giovanni to care about Joey. He would figure out a way to get back at Giovanni, because he had vowed revenge for being kicked out. Tac picked up his bag, then put it in the bedroom. He knew exactly where the HQ was located, and had access to everything there. Eventually he would sneak in and steal a bunch of supplies, such as guns, chemicals, and some other stuff . . .

Magick woke up the next morning, then blushed profusely when she realized that Luke had his arm around her. She crawled out from under it, then hopped off his bed. Her face was still red when she walked into the kitchen. She transformed into her Anthro form, then Michi noticed her.

Michi giggled, then said, "Did you sleep well, or was Luke snoring?"

Magick blushed deeply again, then replied, "Very well. He makes a good pillow."

They both giggled, then talked for a few minutes. Luke walked in a few minutes later. He looked at Michi and Magick, who both had mischievous grins on their faces.

"Okay, what did I miss?"

Michi and Magick both began giggling again, then started cooking breakfast. Luke shrugged his shoulders, then sat down at the table. Magick looked at him again, then burst out laughing.

"Lukey, do something with your hair!"

Luke stood up and walked into the bathroom, then looked in the mirror. His hair was completely messed up, although he'd seen it worse before. He took a quick shower, then ran a brush through his hair to straighten it out. It was always really messy right after he woke up.

Luke could smell breakfast, so he pulled on a shirt and a pair of loose-fitting shorts and went into the kitchen. Neither of the girls noticed him, so he snuck up behind Magick and poked her in the sides. Magick screamed in surprise, then whirled around to face Luke.

"Don't do that!" Magick said, glaring at Luke.

Luke was laughing, so Magick poked him in the side to make him stop. Luke jumped back away from her immediately.

"Don't do that! I'm ticklish there, and I don't . . ." Luke trailed off as he realized his error.

Magick grinned, then whispered to Michi as Luke turned around and walked away. Moments later Michi tackled Luke and pinned him to the ground, holding him tightly. Magick began to tickle him ruthlessly, causing Luke to laugh so hard that he had to gasp for air every now and then.

"Stop! I'm sorry!" Luke hollered between laughs.

Magick stopped after a few moments, then smiled. Michi let Luke go, then he stood up slowly, his arms around his sides. He sat down on the couch, still trying to catch his breath.

"Ow. My sides are going to explode," Luke said eventually.

Magick giggled and said, "That's your own fault. Next time, think before you say something."

Luke glared at her, then walked over to the kitchen table. He helped Michi set the table, then they all sat down and ate breakfast. After breakfast they washed the dishes, then Joey and Melanie showed up. They all played games for a while, then everybody took a nap.

Michi woke up before everybody else, then snuck out with a roll of exposed film. She took it to a nearby one-hour photo shop, then went back to the apartment. Everybody woke up when they heard the door shut. Michi smiled and grabbed a deck of cards.

"Anybody up for a few rounds of Go Fish?"

Everybody agreed, then they played Go Fish for a few hours. Michi left in the middle of the game, but she didn't tell anybody where she was going. She headed to the one-hour photo shop, then picked up the photos and paid for them. She flipped through them to make sure they were all okay, then put them under her jacket.

Michi walked back to the apartment, then snuck past everybody to her room. She put the pack of photos in her desk drawer, then rejoined the game of Go Fish. By the time they actually finished playing games, it was getting late. Joey and Luke didn't attend Pokemon Tech anymore. Even if they were still enrolled, they weren't going to show up after the stunt Miss Winduck pulled on them.

Joey and Melanie headed back to their apartment a little while later. Michi, Magick, and Luke popped in a movie and watched it for a while. While the movie was playing, Michi went to her bedroom to retrieve the photos. Luke didn't know what she was doing, but then he saw the photo packet in her hand when she returned.

"It's about time you got that roll of film developed. It's been sitting around for almost a year."

Michi giggled, then handed the packet of photos to Luke. Magick scooted closer to Luke, then Michi sat on the other side of him. Luke pulled out the photos and began flipping through them slowly. He smiled at a few of the photos, then suddenly he stopped and looked closely at a particular photo.

The photo that Luke was looking at was the one Michi had taken while he and Magick were cuddled up together on his bed. There was another photo behind it that was exactly the same. Magick giggled when she saw the photos. She grabbed one of the photos, then put it in her backpack with her sketches.

Luke was blushing as he continued to look at the photo. He hadn't known about it, because Magick had already left by the time he woke up. Michi giggled, and so did Magick.

After a few more moments of giggling, Michi spoke up. "I took that while you were sleeping. You and Magick looked so cute together, so I couldn't resist."

Magick giggled and blushed, then snuggled up against Luke. He instantly tensed up and became nervous. Michi looked at Luke, then giggled when she saw how surprised he was. She stood up and gave Luke half a hug (not a full hug since Magick was cuddled up against him), then went to bed.

After a few moments, Luke sighed deeply and put his arm around Magick. He picked up the remote with his other hand and switched off the TV and VCR, the put it back down. Magick rested her head on Luke's shoulder, then began to drift off. Luke realized that Magick was falling asleep, so he nudged her and tried to wake her up again.

Luke sighed, because Magick was fast asleep. He carefully put his other arm around her, then slowly picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. When Luke was standing next to his bed, he noticed that Magick was smiling.

"You little snot! You're not really asleep!" Luke dropped Magick on the bed and she giggled quietly.

"You're cute when you're mad. You know that?"

Luke couldn't help but smile. He should've guessed that Magick would try something like that. He grabbed a pair of pajamas, then walked into the bathroom and changed. After brushing his teeth, he went back into his bedroom to find Magick asleep on the bed in her Mew form. She was curled up into a ball, and Luke smiled at how cute she looked like that.

Luke crawled into bed and pulled the blankets over himself, then began to fall asleep. Magick woke up, then shivered because Luke had stolen the blankets. She crawled under the blankets and cuddled up close to Luke again, then sighed as the warmth encased her.

As she was falling asleep again, the realization hit her that her sketch had come true. Specifically the sketch where Luke was holding her in his arms, and her head was resting on his shoulder. Magick giggled to herself, then sighed. Once again, Luke put his arm around her, clutching her softly like a plush toy. The last thought that went through Magick's mind before falling asleep was, "We really do love each other . . ."
