Family of Two.
Chapter 687: Knockback, and coming soon.
(December 23, Rosato Residence, Rose Street. Royal Woods, Michigan.)
Just another usual day, but this usual day is interrupted by a small training session, and a large rock is being used as target practice, and we see Lincoln's Pokémon companion, his very first one is training against this rock obstruction, and doing some close combat damage.
The Hisuian Decidueye known as Knockback is performing some deadly kicks, and then uses his wings to land some punches, and then he takes to the skies, and then dives back down and lands one powerful kick, that the rock obstruction is destroyed, and then he targets the next one, and lands a mean punch, but it doesn't break, and Knockback is determined to take this one down.
Lincoln sees this and he is surprised by the epic training his partner wants to keep going, Gyarados also watches this and never thought he would be this tough and determined, and to think that this guy started as a small and sleepy Rowlet, and now this. Jordan also sees this and all whole checking on Seaking. "Wow. He is really nailing those hits, he's like a power housed fighter seeking perfection."
Lincoln then explains. "Actually, I think the sole reason is because of what happened the other day. You see, I called my hero counterpart, and he told me that he would be available for training when next year comes. Mom is fine with this, and I think Knockback wants to be stronger, when facing the Pokémon from the other world, and he might have sights on one Pokémon he wants to face."
Jordan then takes a guess. "Absol? Garchomp? Lopunny or mega Lopunny?"
Lincoln shakes his head, and then he explains. "Alright, so when my superhero counterpart called, he gave me a selection of which Pokémon we should clash with, and the one Pokémon Knockback chose, was a Grapploct."
Jordan is surprised to hear this. "Wait, one of the superheroes has that Pokémon?"
Lincoln then explains some more. "Here's the thing, this Grapploct doesn't belong to the hero counterparts, he belongs to Simon Sharp, well Simon McLain Sharp, the son of Peter "Pyron" Sharp and Ember McLain Sharp, and he had the little guy ever since he was a Clobbopus, and he will talk to him if he wants to come here next year."
"This Simon Sharp, he is fifteen and advanced in High School, and dating Stella G. Zhau in the other world, and the Stella in that world has a Heracross, who has gained access to Mega-form, and chances she might come along as well. This is going to be something I wanna look forward to, and same with my cousins. Mostly Leslie, and she will inform Stella about this too."
Jordan did not see this coming, and neither did Gyarados and this is going to be a very interesting battle, he feels like he should join in as well. Then they see the Hisuian Braviary show up, and Leslie is onboard. "Hey guys, so what did I miss?" she sees Knockback is still training. "Wow. When is he getting a break from destroying stones?"
They watch as Knockback does some destruction to a large rock, and then goes for another one and then Lincoln speaks. "Give him thirty minutes, and then we're taking a break." So, the trio continue to watch this happen, and then they speak to each other about what comes, when tomorrow hits.
(The Loud House, Franklin Avenue.)
Luna goes around the house, and sees the decorations have all been setup and made, and all thanks to Harriet, and the Christmas tree looks nice too, and she is glad everything is looking alright. "This is awesome great grandma Harriet. The others are gonna be stoked when they see all of this."
The ghost smiles and she nods. "This is the very last Christmas ever for everyone within this house, and the last one for me in this house before we pass it on to the ones who lived here before, I am still coming with you when this is over, right?"
Luna looks to the ghost and she explains. "Of course, we changed our minds after that outcome where we nearly died, and we can't hate you for a long time. You pretty much became concerned for us after so many other stuff, and we are aware of what you did to old man Loud, well former loud."
"You casted a spell, a spell that would keep showing him the incident he did when he accidentally killed my son, a nightmare that would go on for a week and then keep him from coming back. We don't need an old fisherman who can't adapt or handle the changes, and would become a loose cannon."
"What went down with you was different, you tried to stop the outcome of when the Goth's were with you, and you didn't think it would happen. You were trying to do an anti-haunting job, but Leonard did something else out of his own impulse in competitive fishing, and it is insane and just crazy."
"So, we forgive you. We did contact the guardian to remove the seals and return some books to you, but not the advanced ones he gave you once, and now all the other curses laid onto you have been removed, and now you can continue to be with us, but we did ask him to do something else though."
Harriet is confused, and so she asks. "And what might that be, Luna?"
Luna then explains. "You will be bound to us, and not to a location. Seems fitting, and helpful so that you won't always have to be here at the Loud House. There's also going to be some renovations to the Rosato mansion, a place for you and your things. Heck, you can commandeer the library they have."
Harriet is surprised to hear this. "Wait, they have a library? When?"
Luna is confused. "Wait, you don't know? I thought you did, they had the library for a year now." Harriet didn't see this coming, then the front door opens and we see Michelle come inside, and she sees everything within the house.
"The house looks nice inside as it does on the outside, also some bad news. Albert and Myrtle won't be joining us for the Christmas dinner, they have plans to spend it with their friends at the retirement home. Also, what's going on here and why does Harriet look confused?"
"To be continued in the next chapter everyone."
A/N: Dang, Lincoln's Pokémon friend is determined for what comes next year, and tomorrow is another Christmas dinner. I hope that you all enjoyed reading this newly posted chapter.
