Author's Note: Arigato to Destiny Fox and eek for the happy b-days!*^_^* Oh, and I loved the poem Destiny Fox, and as a little note, insane is grrreat (quoteth Tony the tiger), normal is baaaaaaaaaaaad... Right, ANYWAY, here's the next chapter after many replays of "Miyu Yachiyo"(Vampire Princess Miyu), "Tamashii No Rufuran"(Neon Genesis Evangelion Movie), and "Jitensha Ni Notte"(Card Captor Sakura) on Winamp...
*~Love and Nonexistant Noodles~*
Dextra continues. "This Dratini seems to like Hydro."
Linxie narrows his eyebrows in thought. "Now this is an odd predicament."
I look at the Dratini. "Hey, do you think you could lead us to a Dragon's Den entrance?" The little blue pokemon looks at Hydro longingly. I suddenly get an idea. "Dratini, would you excuse Hydro and myself for a moment?" Hydro cocks his head and sends me a confused expression. I grab him by the arm, then move into the trees.
"*Dee, that girl scares me! I mean, she's pretty and all, but...*"
"Hydro! Remember last week when you got your name? You said how you'd get all the girls with it?" Hydro nods weakly, knowing what I was getting at.
"I can vouch for that!" cries Dextra.
Ignoring my pokedex, I continue. "Put two and two together. Name that attracts girls, cute female Dratini that likes you. Wasn't that what you wanted?"
Hydro stares at the ground and ponders for a moment. "*Change my name!*" I don't think he was getting the picture...
***
As Hydro and I head back into the clearing, Linxie gives me a "So, what happened?" look. I send a "You'll see" look in reply. Dratini smiles at Hydro, who blushes. "*I'll agree to going out with you for one hour-"-sqeal of joy from Dratini-"-if and only if you guide us through Dragon's Den.*"
Dratini sqeals in a sweet laughter. "*Silly cutie, I was gonna do that anyway! But now that you asked, sure I'll go on a date with ya!*" Hydro's left eye twitches and he faints. Dratini glances up at Linxie and I questionably. "*What did I say?*"
***
"Alright, then, Hydro," I say, "Remember not to go too far. Rocket will act as a lookout-"
"*Actually, I was planning on flying around, strecthing my wings, maybe catch some grub...*"
"You do that, Rocket, just make sure to tell me if an Ursaring pops out of nowhere or if Hydro breaks a limb or something, okay?"
"*Aww, alright.*"
"All right, you can go get some grub."
"*Yay!*"
"Anyway, Hydro, Dratini, don't wander too far, there are a bunch of dangerous pokemon around this area. I don't want you guys getting hurt." Hydro and Dratini nod in unison. "Okay, you can go now." They wander off towards a nearby stream about five-minutes walking distance.
Linxie clears his throat to get my attention. "So, I geuss we're alone now, huh."
"I'm still here!" cries Dextra. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
Linxie blushes. "Right, yeah, I knew that."
"But my batteries are low, I should shut off." I hate you, Dextra...
"Ahem...uh, you do that..."
I absentmindedly start digging through my backpack. "Erm...Linxie? Could ya help me set up camp? I'm gonna start making lunch now." I pull out a spatula. "I'm gonna make fried noodles with berries!*^_^*"
Linxie smiles. "You don't have to, I've got some Pokechow and some sandwiches. I'd be happy to share."
Pokechow? Is this guy serious? "No thanks, I tasted pokechow before, that's some nasty stuff."
"Maybe to us, but they seem to like it."
"Well, have they ever compared my food to that stuff?"
"Erm...no..."
"Exactly." Maybe I was a bit hard on him, but, hey, he's never tried my berry noodles. ^.-~*
"Psycho, go!" A tannish blur appears before me. It stops, and a Meowth is standing in front of me.
"What the..." cries Linxie. Behind him, a shadowy figuire of a girl reveals herself. I point behind him, and he turns around. "...Huh? Who..."-she steps into the light to reveal her green eyes and dark reddish brown hair-"Kitty?! Is that you?"
"In the flesh!" She winks and holds up her hand in a peace sign. "C'mon, Linxie, aren't ya gonna tell me who your friend is?"
I finally speak up, since Linxie doesn't seem like he's going to do that anytime soon. "I'm Deena. From Air City. Nice to meet you, Kitty, is it?"
"Yup. I'm from Neon Town, like Linxie here." She leans closer towards Linxie. "You two haven't done anything, ya know, DONE anything, have you?" Aw, geez, not this again...
Linxie clenches his teeth and narrows his eyes. "Of course not! Not like you!" Woah...he's mad...
"Oh, really, you shouldn't be talking, hooking up with every girl you see!"
I butt in. "But he's not..."
"SHADDUP YOU!" They both say in unison. Apparantly, butting in wasn't such a great idea...^.^;;
"Heh...I'll just sit here and...make some noodles then..." Lesse...how many plates to set out...that would be...Hydro, Rocket, Dratini, Linxie, Kitty, and...
Suddenly, a shadow appears above our heads. "Deena Greenwater, we meet again! Go, everybody!" An Arbok, an Ekans, an Onix, and a Dragonair all come out. I think to myself, 'Not him again...'
"Hiya, Viper." The shadow disappears and a dark shape lands in front of me. "Would you move, please? You're stepping on the place where I'm gonna make the fire."
"Hello! I'm not like Team Rocket, little twerp!"
Kitty barges into the conversation. "Well you're certainly as stupid as one!"
"You! You're the Ro..."
Kitty's Meowth, Psycho, tackles him into unconciousness.

Author's Note: Right, I think that was the longest chapter yet, though it's not really that long...^.^;; Anyways, I don't think I followed the teaser from last time really well(I *intended* to, but this is a write-as-I-think fic, so you can never expect anything from a fic like that.^.-~*), so this time I'll write a better one(hopefully)...
Teaser Time!
It's turning out to be a big party for Deena with Kitty and Viper around, isn't it?^.-~* Viper's out, but what about his pokemon? Are there other Serpents, or is he just there because of some male pride thing? And what of Kitty? What's her history with Linxie? What's up with Linxie liking that Pokechow crud?! Blech! Don't ask how Deena knows how the stuff tastes...she just does.^.^;; Anyway, Kitty and Viper also have some history to discuss, but I'll have to do a little POV switching there possibly. Or maybe not, depends on what comes into the black abyss of my mind whilst I type.=^.^= And what the heck's a "Ro"?! Yeah, I know, a bit obvious, but, shh! Deena doesn't know that! But does Linxie? He seems to know more than he's telling...And will Deena EVER finish making her noodles and get through Dragon's Den (or Mt. Mortar, I still haven't figuired where they are yet^.^;;)?
All this and more on the next episode of "The Hydroid Chronicles"!
