I clenched my teeth and glared at Fennekin as she headed to our table with Froakie in tow. I already hated not being able to fight her, now this was too much.

"Eevee please tell me why she's here! I'm okay with Tomato Frog but not the ember b*tch! And you!"

I shouted as I moved my paw to point it at the b*tch.

"I thought you were grounded fox! How did you escape your cell?!"

Eevee swiftly answered my question in an attempt to deescalate the situation.

"I spoke to Fennekin's mother and she agreed to let us hang out with her just for today. You know? Because we wanted to hang out with her a week ago but we couldn't, because we literally found her as a missing Pokémon? Don't you think we should all celebrate *Eevee? Come on, don't be a partypooper."

"Alright fine! But the second she decides to try anything I won't hesitate to kick her ass. Got it you clown fox?!"

"Loud and clear you hotheaded jerk."

"What?! You don't know me! How dare you shout insults at me a*shole!"

"I say what I want to you...you...you..."

My rage began to reach it's limit and Fennekin lowered her ears in fear as I rounded in her.

"What?! What are you going to say tell me?! Unless you're too Torchic?! Huh?! Tell me you coward!"

"Shut up you Charizard! Just because you're rude as sin doesn't mean I can't say anything back at you! You-"

"Yeah yeah. Is that all you got or are you going to flap your worthless a*s mouth all day? I'm so bored by the time you actually come up with something the food will get cold. Come back when you have something to say. B-*-t-c-h."

"Urrgh! Why you-"

Sylveon intercepted us both trying to get us to stop arguing.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Both of you stop fighting right now! Pokemon are staring and we're here to celebrate not watch you two rip each other's throats out-"

"Shut the f*ck up Fairy Boy. This doesn't concern you!"

"Yeah f*ck off!"

Eevee defended him as always.

"Whoah! Guys calm down and don't say that to Sylveon what did he do to deserve that-"

"SHUT UP! READ MY LIPS! SHUT. UP!"

"Nobody is listening to you, you big loudmouth!"

"Yeah?! Well nobody asked you for your opinion either Miss flappy s*it mouth!"

"Rarrrgh! THAT'S IT!"

Fennekin charged at me and tackled me to the ground. In retaliation, I pushed her and kicked her hard in the chest with a Double Kick.

She coughed Ember at me and I narrowly dodged some burns at the face.

"Ummmmm.. Owww...that burns!"

"Oh no *Eevee is burned!"

"Partner look out!"

Ryu warned me and I barely looked up in time to see Fennekin charging at me again.

I flinched back as I blocked her incoming Scratch attack with my arm. I could barely see her about to launch fire at my stomach so I covered it with my knee on instinct. But I couldn't block the Ember she launched at my left knee.

"Ahhhhhhh! Aaaaahhhhhhaaa!!"

"Does that burn? Good. I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU!"

"Argh! SHUT UP!!"

I ignored the searing pain I felt in my knee and launched a Shadow Ball in her face with my left paw. She went flying into the nearby window hard.

"Oww! You'll pay for that!"

I readied a Quick Attack to dodge the incoming Heat Wave but when the pain flared up my knee it almost forced me to reside completely.

"TAKE THI- WHOAH!"

"WHOAH!"

Me and Fennekin both froze in place and were brought up into the air. Why was this familiar? I turned to see the exact same Gardevoir from Ryu's party working as waitress now holding us up in the air with a Psychic.

"You are one of the brats that got me fired from my last job after you and your crew stole food and ransacked the entire buffet table! And now you all are here to screw up this job two huh? Well you can think again! It is strictly prohibited to fight in public eating areas! All of you get out of here right now!"

She sent us both flying away to the door. She released us in mid-air and we both landed on our faces on the pavement hard.

This day was not going well.

"Oww that hurt!"

"Urgh! This is all your fault for getting us kicked out with your stupid mouth! Thanks to you, you ruined my meal!"

"It was your fault for getting baited like that by my sarcasm! You must be pretty sensitive to fall for something lame like that you loser!"

"You are an ass! I hate you!"

"Yeah well I hate you two b*tch!"

"Grrrrrrrr!!!"

"Grrrrrrrrr! Ragh!"

She flinched as I launched a Growl at her.

"Ah! Hey that's cheating!"

"You're one to talk! You never play fair you cheater!"

"No I'm not a cheater! You are!"

"You are the ruthless one and you know it!"

"Argh! Talking to you is making my skin crawl!"

"Right back at you creepy, stalker, wannabe tsundere, piece of fox s*it!"

"You...you...Argh! Froakie! We're leaving now! Right now!"

"Okay Fennekin... Seeya guys later..."

Fennekin left in a huff and I kept glaring at her retreating figure. Eevee facepalmed at well everything...

"Argh! *Eevee don't ever do that again! Because of you two we got kicked out, we didn't get to eat, and they didn't even let us take it home! Today was suppossed to be about celebrating and you both ruined it for all of us! I can't even believe you guys just did that! NEXT TIME TAKE IT OUTSIDE! HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO HAVING TO COVER FOR YOU AND- KOFF! Koff! Koff!"

"Here Eevee your inhaler."

"Thanks...Fuhuh...Fuhuh...Fuhuh..."

I looked down in shame as Sylveon gently patted my friends back because her asthma acted up.

"It did get out of hand *Eevee. Please don't do that again."

"I'm sorry. I'll leave for a bit. I need to go cool down. Come on Ryu."

"Okay we'll text you guys later to go see a movie. Eevee can you stand?"

I sighed as Sylveon helped Eevee slowly stand up. I kept my head down in shame as me and Ryu left and their conversation faded as we walked away.

"Ryu do you know where we can train that's secluded at Central Park?"

"There is one spot. I'll show you where it is."

"Okay."

"And about that fight back there I did think it was uncalled for-"

"Oh great not you too. Let me guess you're here to scold me about it. Is that it?"

"I was also going to say that you were awesome."

"Hmph! Is that a fact? Instead of complimenting me you should at least prepare for the training ahead if you want to keep up with me partner."

"Roger that."

I grunted in pain as my knee flared up.

"Ah! But first I need that Burn Heal. Because that ember is still hurting me.'

"Oops I forgot! I'll go get you one."

*Later in the woods at Central Park

"Wow it's so secluded. I didn't think a spot like this existed here. I guess I was wrong."

"Yeah I come here sometimes to get some training in, because of how occupied my parents are to teach me properly. But now I have a partner that often needs training to cool off so I'm eager to get started."

"Alright let's start with your aim on your Aura Sphere first. Last time you tried it I nearly sprained my ankle, so I hope you've been practicing at least since then. If not you just might lose your head."

"Wow I'm really scared. Are you sure your threats aren't getting rusty?"

"Just shut up and shoot it already."

"Okay."

Training always got me excited I wonder if my partner felt the same way. I boredly kept my eyes trained on him as I waited for him to try and blast me.

"HaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

"here it comes ..."

"AURA SPHERE!"

I stood my ground as it headed straight for me. At the last second I did a side flip and used the momentum from the spin and blasted Ryu with a Shadow Ball in 5 seconds tops.

"Ah! Oww! Why does your attack hurt so much?"

"You left yourself open, giving me the opportunity to counterattack. And I hit you in the exact spot I chose resulting in a direct hit. You need to try blocking after attempting to attack your opponent, otherwise you take more damage that way. Simple right?"

"Yeah let me try that again."

I had to be careful from then on because his attacks precision steadily were improving. And since his attacks were also super effective on me I couldn't afford any mistakes.

What I had to look out for the most though was his grip on his aura. It faltered every now and then and ever since he had lost control that one time during practice I barely could snap him out of it before he hurt anyone. I couldn't afford any chances anymore, I had to be on guard always.

The first three were easy to dodge but by the fourth I was beginning to wear out. And when I tried to dodge it, it scraped my arm by just a little and then it exploded.

"Ouch!"

It stung so much that I barely managed to block his incoming Karate Chop with my Double Kick.

"Hmph. I finally caught you off guard 'partner'."

"So you did. How did you do that?"

"Ha! I'll never tell."

"Right."

I launched a Shadow Ball in his face with my free arm while doing an upside down one armed handstand.

"How's that for 'catching off' guard?"

"Argh! Pretty good."

When he started moving his paws towards me I readied attack mode.

"I was going to help you upright *Eevee."

"Oh. Hmph!"

He paws went on my hip and he effortlessly spun me around and I was upright.

"Put me down."

"There. Wanna go get a pizza slice? I'm really hungry."

"You had me at pizza. Let's go."
