Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, etc, etc
I would like to thank the thesaurus of my computer, you are wonderful (or
"magnificent" or "superb" or "brilliant")
I would also like to destroy my computer for encountering an error while I
was writing this chapter so I had to write the last half over again as well
as the disclaimer.
Okay, on to the story, although I hope you had sense enough to skip the
above section...
~*~*~Previous Chapter~*~*~
Tracy began to talk "Oh, sure, but she can have an irrepressible-"
The Lapras raised her head and looked Kari straight in the eye.
Then she squirted a stream of water right into Kari's face.
~*~*~*~*~*~Chapter 4~*~*~*~*~*~
Kari fell over, coughing and spluttering.
"Attitude," Tracy said, finishing his previous statement. "She can have an irrepressible attitude."
Kari stood up and grimly wiped her face, then wrung her hair out. The Lapras raised her head and let out a sharp whine. Kari couldn't tell whether it was a victory cry or a laugh. As hard as she tried to be mad, she just had to laugh at the incident.
Tracy had disappeared and now had come back with a towel. He handed it to Kari.
"Heh, thanks Tracy."
"I told you so," was all Tracy said.
"Yeah, yeah, you were right," Kari said, her voice muffled under the towel.
"Here, lemme take the towel, you might need it again. I'll put it on this chair right here."
"Ha, thanks."
Kari once again knelt at the edge of the pool. The Lapras came over.
"You really are cute though. I was just kidding earlier. No hard feelings?" The Lapras squeaked happily. Kari smiled. "Good! Hey, wait a minute; you don't have a name, do you? Tracy, did you give her a name?"
"That's part of the reason I wanted you here. She needs a name." Tracy grinned.
"That's going to be tough." Kari grinned. "Are you telling me that you, with your creative mind, couldn't come up with a good name for this Lapras?"
"I'm going to take that as a compliment, but no, I thought you should. Lapras are your favorite Pokemon, you're always talking about them and you know everything about them." Tracy scratched his head. "Sometimes I think you know more about them than I do. So I thought you should name her."
"I guess that's a good enough reason, but this Lapras needs a really good name. It's obviously really special." The Lapras chirped happily at that, and Kari grinned. "I don't think I am capable of assuming that kind of responsibility." She nobly. The Lapras dipped her head in the water and brought it up again, scattering tiny droplets everywhere.
"Sure you are. Come on, think!"
Kari sat down Indian-style on the edge of the pool. She watched the Lapras and the Lapras, in turn, watched her. Kari stretched her neck forward slightly, and the Lapras did the same, only stretching hers much further because it was much longer. Tracy laughed. Kari looked up and her brow furrowed.
"I'm concentrating, Tracy, you have to be quiet," Kari said sharply, but Tracy knew she was just kidding. "The Lapras is a girl, right?" she asked.
"Right. Why?"
"I was thinking of the name Lilly, but it sounds too feminine."
"It works well with her species, Lilly the Lapras."
"Alliteration," Kari said suddenly.
"I'm sure your English teacher would be pleased," Tracy said smugly.
"Maybe I can get extra credit."
"I think Lilly is a good name, because it does conflict with her nature, in a way."
"I guess. It is starting to stick."
"Sot there you go! Lilly it is."
Kari smiled at the Lapras, now named "Lilly". "Yeah, Lilly."
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh, crap, Tracy, what time is it?" Kari asked, leaping up from the ground.
Tracy looked at his watch.
"Five-thirty."
"Already? You have got to be kidding! Mom is going to kill me."
Tracy looked outside. The rain had slackened off to a mere drizzle. "Well, at least it's not raining as much, or I'd keep you here and have you call Miss Sako. I hope you come back soon." Lilly squeaked. "And so does Lilly," he added. "I swear, she understands so much more than a normal Pokemon does."
"Duh, Tracy, they are like, the smartest Pokemon in the world or something, besides Mewtwo, but he's genetically altered. Honestly, I don't see how they count him, although he is a pretty cool Pokemon. He can talk! Oh, well, so can Team Rocket's Meowth, but that's besides the point..."
Tracy opened and closed his hand in front of the Lapras and whispered, "Blah, blah, blah,"
"TRACY."
Tracy raised both eyebrows and looked up, grinning.
"You're going to make me even later than I already am! I know where my bag is, it's right next to the doorway." Kari grinned at remembering when she first walked through the door. "I'll see you later. Bye, Lilly!" Lilly chirped a goodbye.
The large entrance door creaked and slammed as Kari left.

Personally, I think that was kind of short. Please R&R!! I encourage constructive criticism, but please be kind! The story WILL start to pick up in the next chapter (unless you think that it has already, which, in that case, please go on thinking so ^_^), which will come very soon, as I thought about including a lot of it here but thought better of it.
