Underleague
Chapter 20
Author Notes: We are back boys and girls and get this, it snowed just yesterday, I guess it's a good thing I'm still in Snowdin. Now as the many of you know, I do not own Pokemon or Undertale, but I do love both series a ton.
Time to shout out~ Thanks to Guest for reviewing~ Tacomaster192 thanks for faving and following and lastly thanks to Sarahmounik, BonEpic, and sweet little cookie
3rd P.O.V
Asriel was slowly but surely creating a hole in the floor with all the pacing he's been doing. Like when encountering a graveler up and out of the underground or even a minior down below, it was only a matter of time before a explosion hits you in the face.
In his case however, he had no idea just how much damage there would be. His only saving grace was that Undyne was still busy with the investigation, so with fingers crossed, he prayed to what pokemon deity would hear his call to have his mother and the police chief would avoiding having a showdown.
"-lly need to calm down kid." San wasn't faring any better than Asriel, though he put up his infamous pokerface and was doing his best to pretend that his house and possibly his town wasn't going to be in for a one way ticket to destruction.
All the while Papyrus was cleaning away, excited for the guests coming over. The duo found themselves frozen in place as three gentle knocks made contact with the outside door.
Shrugging away his nerves Sans approaches, but instead of opening it up, he simply asks "who's there?" And just as predicted there was a giggle on the other side. "Boo." Sans couldn't help but grin, as he already had a feeling where the joke was going.
Whereas Asriel could only groan. He liked jokes sure, but this was not the time for them. "Boo who?" It was the first gym leader Toriel. "Oh there's no need to cry silly! I'm not a ghost~"
Chuckling Sans twists the doorknob. Revealing her bundled up form. "Heh good one Tori." She engulfs the shorter man in a hug. "It is so good to see you my friend, though I wish it were under better circumstances." He lets her in before shutting the door with a heavy slam.
"I'm gonna go see how Paps is doin an lettin him know one of our guests are here." Sans departs, giving the family some much needed privacy. "I'm so glad you're ok my child." Asriel was in a tight loving embrace from his mother.
He didn't mind, even though it hasn't been all that long since he left with Frisk and talked to her on the phone almost on a daily basis, it was still so good to see her. "I'm fine, Frisk on the other hand…" Both turn to the still sleeping ten year old. "How is she?"
Rubbing his face Asriel leads his mom into the kitchen, where the pair sits down at the table. "Frisk hasn't been doing all that well. Well no, that's not true. It's-complicated mom." Patiently she listens as he recounts to the best of his ability the entire incident in the pokemon center from his perspective.
Ever since he was young Asriel has always been observant, keeping every little detail to memory. Despite this there wasn't too much a difference from what she's heard from the others she's listened to in town.
But it was still shocking to hear nonetheless. "It is a miracle no one really got hurt because of those criminals. Though what Undyne did afterwards is not only unprofessional but also unforgivable."
She huffs, still unable to believe it, all throughout her traveling she's heard nothing but how her poor daughter got chased around. Now she knew Undyne was only trying to do her job and make sure Frisk wasn't hurt, however it was clear that there were far better ways it could've gone down.
'Letting a large burly bear pokemon try to pick up a child who is obviously already in a state of high anxiety'... Toriel could only shake her head. It was no surprise Frisk caught a cold, especially in this freezing weather.
"She hasn't even had a chance to go and check out the riddle to the second gym leader. And frankly...with the way things are going mom, I don't think Frisk is going to want to continue afterwards."
She could only sigh and nod in agreement. "Indeed. Perhaps I may've made a poor judgment in sending Frisk off so soon. Though both you and your sister Chara had left at the same age, it is quite clear that Frisk isn't as prepared or enjoying this like we had originally thought." Her son looks away.
"It was going so well mom." She smiles in understanding, placing a hand over his. "I know, but if she isn't ready, then there's no need to pressure her. I think after all that's happened, she deserves to do things at her own pace." A series of harsh coughs catch their attention.
At the doorway the Dreemurs see Papyrus taking Frisk's temperature, with all of her pokemon now awake and keeping their gazes steadily on the sick girl. "IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE YOU HAVE A TEMPERATURE-BUT IT IS OBVIOUS YOU ARE STILL NOT WELL ENOUGH TO MOVE ABOUT."
Toriel steps forth, entering her daughters line of sight. "Mom-" She coughs, covering her mouth with her arm. "Hello dear." Fondly the older woman shifts her hand in the sick girls hair. "How are you feeling?" Frisk eagerly leans into her mom's touch, glad to see her.
"Ok. What are you doing here?" Papyrus and Asriel stand back, watching the heartwarming reunion. "NYEH ASRIEL? IS IT TRUE THAT YOU BELIEVE FRISK WILL NO LONGER PARTICIPATE IN THE CHALLENGE?" The boy in question raised an eyebrow. "Were you eavesdropping Papyrus?"
The tall individual looks away, a slight blush staining his cheeks. "NO! OF COURSE NOT. THE GREAT PAPYRUS WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING. BUT...I DID HAPPEN TO HEAR THAT STATEMENT AS I WAS WALKING BY WITH FRISK'S MEDICINE." Papyrus in all honesty didn't want Frisk to quit.
He could understand why she wanted to, but... he had felt really happy when he met her and discovered her also on the challenge. He didn't really have too many friends, and had thought maybe she would want to travel with him as well.
Sure he was currently working on his third, and she just started her second, but he thought going on the journey with her would be even more fun. "I guess I shouldn't be so surprised...it's not like I was trying to keep a secret. But yes, I think Undyne and her phobia of bear pokemon set her across the line."
It seemed terrible...knowing that Frisk wanted to cut her journey before it even got started. Especially when she had so much potential. "Reminds me of a certain little somebody eh Azzy?" Both Papyrus and Asriel jumped as Sans spoke up from behind. Throwing a pair of glares for at him for sneaking about.
"BROTHER...HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO SPOOK ME?!" Sans could only shrug. "Not sure bro. I thought you told me to make sure my pokemon don't spook ya. I'll phantump a guess that i'll be the banette of your existence." Papyrus screeches in rage.
Sans sure knew how to push buttons. Papyrus's especially. "SANS!" Asriel could only sigh and return his focus on his mom and sister. Who were currently in a hug. "Are you sure you want to continue Frisk?"
Much to Asriel's surprise the little trainer nods. "Uh huh. I want to keep going." Toriel could only spare a glance at her son to reveal that she was just as shocked as he was. "I'm determined to see this through mom. I've been having a lot of fun. But...I'm scared." Her face scrunches up a bit.
Remembering how terrible that Undyne lady was, how MK likes her Frisk will never know. And that panda bear pokemon, with sharp claws, an angry scowl ready to attack. She doesn't want to deal with either of them anytime soon.
But as if fate had decided to deny her desires, everyone pauses to hear rough, loud knocks on the door before it was slammed open. Revealing a smirking Undyne. "Yo Papyrus I got your-" She pauses both in midstep and in sentence.
Paling as she sees a standing, scowling Toriel. "Hello Undyne." The white haired woman crosses her arms, sending a rather intense glare towards the police officer. "I do believe it is time you and I have a chat. Starting with you sending a Pangoro on my DAUGHTER."
