K.M:

Hey everyone? Has your day been Pawrific? I hope not, because that was a terrible pun!

So I hope you liked the last couple of chapters at least, I also updated the One-shots if you want to check that out. I've sick for a couple of days, and with the weather getting colder, my allergies are worse! So yeah... I'm basically dying on my end...

But don't let me bring you down! After all if you bothered to get all the way to chapter 13 then there must be something good in this amateur-ish-fan-fiction...

Anyway on to the Disclaimer!

Yuri: OOH! Can I do it?!

K.M: Yuri? I didn't know you were here...

Yuri: Well I am, so can I?!

K.M: Meh...I don't care, go ahead...

Yuri: Yas! Take that Red!

K.M: Wait what does this have to do with-

Yuri: Kitty Master doesn't own Pokemon because if she did Red would talk to you in the games! She owns Kunie, and the Gang!

6 months later...

I huffed, my gloved hands grabbing onto the rocky cliff, I had been at it for a couple of hours, and I could finally see the edge of the top, I wanted to let go, but my limbs were hanging strong.

Six months ago that wouldn't be so true (I'd probably be begging Red to pass me a rope, and pull me up himself because I was so tired), but after the six months I had spent with my worst nightmares it's become easy.

My worst nightmares?

Red, and Gold.

Those guys...if you ever get the chance to have them train you, immediately say NO.

It could save your life...

They have beaten me back, and forth, black, and blue, till I was tough enough to survive through a raging storm on top of a mountain (those are scary), and stand a Lightning Bolt from Pikachus (it hurts...a lot)...

And you think it stopped there?

I thought I was training my Pokemon.

No...turns out I was training with my Pokemon.

It's exhausting.

Have you ever been chased by a Typhlosion with a Blast Burn?

No. I don't think so.

It's scary.

But I could say things got better, I got used to the training, and so did Em (Who was now a Servine), and Rune.

Training with Rune was the hardest, Gold had had me literally observe all I could about the stones, because no one else could get close. I had to find out a couple of questions like: How did they attack? When did they attack? How could I control them? Did they get stronger/faster the stronger/faster Rune was? Could Rune control them? Did they follow commands?

They attacked by charging blue lasers that shot out from the stones. Whenever someone agitated came close, or if Rune was agitated. If I spoke commands clearly, and if Rune was calm. Yes. Yes, to an extent. Yes to an extent.

Everyday Gold pushed me to find more answers, ask more questions, be creative, explore what I didn't know, and learn from what I didn't.

Learn. I think that's what he taught me the most.

It was something to be admired.

Gold also taught me how to raise my Pokemon, how to give them food they liked, and preferred, and how to find out which one they liked, I wasn't allowed to ask them to tell me, that was cheating. How to brush them correctly (that was very important for Em), how to give massages to keep them relaxed (also important for Em), how to speak commands with authority but gentleness, even about how the breeding worked (which I did not need to know about).

All things I didn't know Gold knew.

Even if he was a bragging-exaggerate-egoistic brat, he was pretty smart sometimes.

I called him my B.E.E.B for short.

He called me his Puny.

He didn't know what B.E.E.B stood for, but could guess it was an insult to his not-so-manly-pride.

Red trained me a little differently than Gold, he was strict, but gentle, sometimes he changed moods so quickly it left my head spinning.

One second he'd be telling me to punch trees with my bare fist, the next he'd be telling me to balance bowls of water on my hands with Rune, and Em balancing on my head.

Sometimes he'd tell me to just jog with my Pokemon, and then he's suddenly brutally attacking me with Poli.

It was terrifying, and it left me watching my back every second, and keep my eyes, and ears peeled.

I didn't know what he was doing until we were once ambushed by a Venipede swarm, and my Pokemon, and I had managed to avoid each perfectly.

He never really explained everything usually letting me figure it out, when I asked him why he didn't just explain it like Gold did, he said I was smart enough to figure it out, and he didn't want to go ahead, and give me a way out for everything, one day I'd be alone, and I'd have to figure things out myself, he was just starting me easy.

I guess that's another reason why I respected the two, they were both so different, but still found a way to teach me a hundred different things in so many ways.

Though that wasn't all. Red wasn't brutal in all his lessons, sometimes he'd just sit me down, and have me read some books, and then give me quizzes on what I read.

Those days where heaven in 12 hours.

Strangely enough I had also managed to get used to Em's weird personality.

She loved being cuddled, getting massages, and sleeping together, she hated being ignored, not being trained, or fed and not getting the same treatment as everyone.

So let's say I trained Rune, and afterwards brushed out his hair, she would expect the same for her.

If not she would stare at me creepily all day, with a look of "I really hate you right now" on her face.

Another thing was that I managed to make her smile.

She's incredibly ticklish. It ends up making massages into tickle fights, and brushes into...well... tickle fights...

I realize now we have a lot of those.

My hand finally felt the sharp edge of the mountain, with a grunt I heaved myself up, and over, I lied on my back, gasping.

I closed my eyelids, they were red from the hot sun, sweat trickling down my neck, and back, I knew I'd have a nightmare of a time combing out my new helmet hair when I took it out, but right now I just felt the need to gasp for a while, I opened my eyes when I felt a shadow above me, Red, and Gold stared at me with grins, I could only glare, they had conveniently not needed to take part in my training that day so they had instead taken the walk, instead of climbing over the side as I had done, as such they were only slightly sweaty from the hot sun.

"Well...you look a little...parched." Gold teased as I gasped like a Magikarp.

"Yeah, whatever B.E.E.B..." I growled out halfheartedly.

"Puny..." He glared at me, knowing that yet again the magnificent, and beautiful Kunie had insulted his nonexistent-manly-pride.

I inwardly snickered, imagining the day I'd finally tell Gold what B.E.E.B. meant.

Not today though, because I don't even think I can get up.

I heard the sound of the Pokeball clicking open, and the yawn of what I knew to be Rune.

I couldn't see him from my spot on the floor, but I knew he was close by the crunching of the rocks as he walked towards me, his face suddenly appeared above mine and he snickered.

"Are you tired?" He asked with a smirk.

"Don't even think about it brat..." I growled out.

I could tell he was planning a prank in my weakened state.

His evil smirk grew, rolling his eyes sarcastically, "I dunno what you mean Kunie..."

I faked a laugh, then turning serious, glaring at him coldly, "I mean it."

He stepped off.

We were finally going back home.

I wanted to sing Hallelujah or something.

It had been months since I had been back home, and I was desperate to know what my parent's had been hiding.

I also wanted to know how much the three musketeers had grown.

The old Dodge drove into Nuvema, driving to the lab, I could only sigh as I saw my school, and my slightly familiar classmates walk by (I didn't really spend all that much time with them), the grocery store my mom loved, and finally the lab!

I'm kinda missed Prof. Juniper, if you can believe that.

Red parked the dodge, and we all got out tiredly, we had wanted to get back as soon as possible, so Red had drove all day.

I'm kinda happy he was willing to get me back before my birthday, he said he didn't want me to spend it without my family.

Though I had kept in touch with everyone, it was tiring not getting goodnight kisses from my parents, or going to school, or even playing soccer.

I had kept playing, but I hadn't been able to do it as much on the road, I could only play in cities or towns because I was too scared of loosing my soccer balls, or having them pop under sharp branches or rocks, and even then we only stayed in town for like a couple of days before moving on.

In short I was soccer deprived.

We all walked up to the lab, Gold, and me teasing each other as always, and Red watching with a laugh here, and there.

When I saw Prof. Juniper I grinned, waving my hand lazily, "Yo Prof! Aren't you a sight for extremely sore eyes!" I called out, I could see her blush in embarrassment as a couple of people looked our way.

"Honestly Kunie, have the few months you've had on the road not been enough to give you some manners or something? Can't greet me like a normal person?" she scolded with a frown, I could only grin, I knew she had missed me by the way she looked at me concernedly up and down, there were a couple of bruises here, and there, nothing too serious, only to be expected though.

"Sass can only grow Prof." I said in an "as a matter a fact" tone.

"Not if it's beaten out of you." The tall woman threatened.

I put the back of my hand on my forehead, shouting in fake fear, "Ah someone call the police! It's...a nerdy professor..." I mocked sarcastically, giving her a grin to show her I was just joking.

Gold snickered.

"Big sister!"

I yelped as I was tackled by three small bodies.

Who were... not so small anymore...

I blinked in shock, "wait-wait-wait, stand up, all of you..." they did as I said, and I stood next to them, staring in disbelief, Black was up to my chin, Cheren to my nose, an Bianca to my shoulders!

Just a couple of months ago they were less than half my size!

They were tiny!

How the hey did they grow so fast?!

"Ha-ha! Looks like you're getting even smaller Puny!" Gold was in hysterics, even Red cracked a smile.

I glowered at him, "Shut up B.E.E.B., they just grew a bit!" I said as I smacked his arm, he winced as he rubbed it.

"Did you beat a lot a gyms, and stuff?!" Black shouted.

"Did you go to contests, and dress up?!" Bianca jumped in.

"Did you get any cool new Pokemon?!" To my surprise so did Cheren.

I deadpanned, "No. No. And No..." they all deflated at my answers.

"Oh so I guess your not so cool anymore..." Black said mournfully.

I glared at Black, smacking the back of his head, he yelped, "Oi! Watch your manners brat! Honestly you're almost as bad as Gold." I muttered as I crossed my arms.

"Hey!" Gold said, as he gave me an insulted look.

"Well moving on from that spectacle, may I see your Pokedex?" I shuffled in my duffel quickly, pulling out the contraption I had finally managed to understand, I passed it to her, watching as her eyes widened, "Wow, 68%...You've been working hard Kunie..." I laughed sheepishly, scratching the back of my head, thinking of the strict regime Red had had me doing.

"Yeah, anyways are we going home yet?" I asked impatiently, Prof. Juniper gave me a sly smirk.

"Of course, go right ahead." she gave me back my Pokedex, and I ran back to the Dodge jumping into the front seat.

"Hey no fair! I call shotgun!" Gold shouted.

"You can't call shotgun when there's already someone there dumbo!" I insisted as I tightened the seat-belt.

"Yeah I can!"

"That's not how it works you B.E.E.B.!"

"Shut up Puny!"

In the end Gold had to hold Black on his lap as we drove to my house.

The car ride was loud, and a complete blur, by the time we got to my house I had a headache.

I excitedly jumped out of the car, "I'll see you guys in two weeks!" I said waving to the Dodge that was off to drop off the three kids. Red, and Gold waved through the window, the three kids squeezing through the back window.

I turned around, looking at my house, it had a few changes, mom had repainted the walls, making them look fresh, and there were potted plants at the front, the porch now had three rocking chairs, and a small wind chime, which I don't recall seeing before.

I smiled as I pulled out Rune's fancy ball, when he came out he grinned, knowing where he was.

"Yay! We're home!" he squealed.

I rolled my eyes as he jumped, and skipped to the porch, his stones circling along with him in his excitement. I smiled, smelling the familiar scent of my mom's cooking, which was coming from the open window, the minute my feet touched the first step of the stairs the door swung open, almost smacking the excitable fox jumping around, there stood my mother.

Chocolate brown hair tied in a ponytail at the top of her head, bubbly blue eyes glowing, grin wide, showing small dimples, she was slightly pale... and she had the roundest stomach I'd ever seen, when she saw me she ran down the steps, and glomped me, squealing like a schoolgirl, I only stood there, too shocked to respond.

I pulled her back and zeroed my eyes on the round part protruding from her body.

"Y-you're...you have...p-preg...baby...you..." I stumbled over my words in my shock, not even caring that my mom was laughing at my stutters.

"Surprise!" she threw her hands in the air, the smile growing.

I didn't really know about the goofy smile that had made it's way on my face.

A sibling.

I had always wanted one, someone I could tease, and laugh at for being shorter than me, someone I could play games with, someone to...

Eh...I don't know.

I've never really had one.

(But if anything I was definitely going to tease them for being shorter than me, I had to do it to someone!)

"You want to feel him, he's already kicking." I nodded hesitantly.

She took my hand and placed it gently on her stomach, it took a while but I finally felt a bump against my hand, my grin grew.

"So...y-you're really gonna..."

"Yup! You're gonna be a big sister!" I laughed, slightly overwhelmed, and bewildered.

I hadn't thought this was what they meant by they had something to tell me, mostly because I had never gotten a hint from them that they wanted another child.

I hadn't even noticed when my dad had come out of the house, and squeezed me from behind, I was too shocked to care either. "So you like the surprise?" I heard dad whisper hesitantly from behind me, I turned, nodding softly.

"Yeah...I really like it..." I couldn't help it, I had to make a joke about it.

"But don't you think you should have told me about not caring about your weight anymore...? After all this is a big decision." I asked slyly.

Mom, and dad stared in confusion before mom glowered.

"I AM NOT FAT!"

I looked at Rune who was staring at the stomach in confusion.

"Kunie...Why is momma fat?"

"Rune's comment says otherwise..." I said in an "as a matter of fact" tone.

I smiled with a happy sigh as I fell back on the bed, soft, and warm, nothing like the previous hotels we'd been in. They were lavish, and high-standard, but nothing beat home.

The familiar desk overfilled with ridiculous drawings of Rune, and everything else, a bookshelf with comics, different sports magazines, manga, the ushe.

And that awesome glass ceiling, man I missed that, I had clicked the button to open the roof, letting me see the planes that flew over head.

I wonder how mom cleaned that glass...

"Can I come in?" I looked up to see dad.

I smiled at him, "Sure pop." I lied back into the mattress.

I felt the bed sink next to me, I slowly placed myself at his side, growling at him when he ruffled my hair.

Seriously would these people ever learn to stop playing with my hair?

I was going to bite someone one of these days.

"...Did you open the package...?" Oh. And there's that.

Ever since I... Opened the package...I had avoided any questioning, pretending I didn't even know what they meant when they asked.

Truthfully I had shoved that day to the very back of my mind.

I didn't want to remember what was inside.

But I couldn't lie, not about this.

"Yea..."

"...And the-"

"I put them away..."

"...Oh..."

An awkward silence filled the room, and suddenly I didn't feel so comfortable cuddling to my dad's side.

But I had promised I wouldn't run away...

I was probably doing a pretty bad job at keeping that promise.

"I'm sorry dad...I just can't...I will when I'm ready, but I'm just...not..." I looked at him, he had a blank look on his face.

"I'm not ready to face this, you know how hard this is for me." He looked at me, his eyes growing soft.

"No...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have shoved it at you, but I just...at the time I wanted to convince you not to go...I convinced your mom that it was because you needed to face your fears...But...I was being selfish...I didn't want to go through all of that again, much less with my little girl...I'm sorry." I could see tears gathering in his eyes, I sighed and rested my head on his chest.

I had a feeling that that was what dad had been doing, but...to hear him admit it was something else...

"Dad...I was selfish too...I should have faced my fears, and I should, right now, but I'm also selfish, so I can't...so...please wait a little longer dad...until I'm ready to face it..."

"I will...I meant what I said that day..."

I looked up at him questioningly, he smiled down at me, "I'm proud of you." I grinned.

"Well I'm pretty proud of me too." I said in the poshest voice I could.

Dad let out a laugh, me eventually joining him, "Hey, are you two having fun without me?" Me, and dad sat up to see mom on the doorway giving us a fake scolding look, we grinned at each other before laughing again.

"Well now I know who's not getting ice cream." We both stopped laughing and looked at her, hoping she wasn't serious.

Suddenly an arrogant high-pitched voice started to mock us.

"Ha-ha, I get ice cream and you don't!"

I growled at Rune. Both me and dad jumped off the bed and ran downstairs as fast as we could, hoping to beat the pregnant woman, and mischievous fox to the delicious tub of ice cream.

This is war.

K.M:

I know you guys don't know what's going on, so you kind of don't know how sad it was for me to write that ending...

But yeah, she's back home after 6 months in the wilderness...with Gold, I bet she's shaking her fist at Arceus or something... And would you look at that! Mommy is pregnant! Yes AveragePichu...you're right...but I don't want any of you getting your hopes up for it, I've already decided everything for the baby.

So no polls.

Also the same running joke of Kunie being tinier than Ratattas is still going on. I feel like I should ease up, and make her taller, but that ain't happening any time soon. Sorry Kunie.

If you've realized Kunie is avoiding talking about battles, truthfully I did that on purpose, six months is not nearly enough for half a life of trauma, so sorry, she's still not used to it anyways. Also she's avoiding talking about the package, what is in it? Why doesn't she want to talk about it? who is "Him"?

Is it HIM from Power Puff Girls?!

No.

I also realized the relationship between Prof. Juniper, and Kunie is quite a complicated one, they have a bit of fondness to the other, but find that some aspects of the other keeps them from becoming anything but good acquaintances, Kunie hates Pokemon (at least she's growing out of it), so she dislikes anything affiliated to them, and Juniper is a Pokemon scientist, so she finds the fact that Kunie hates Pokemon insulting to her.

Anyway Review, tell me what you think, feel free to ask any questions, I'll be sure to answer to my best ability.

See ya later kitties!
