A/N: NEW CHAPTER, AAAND IT'S WEDNESDAY! (I think that's good) I don't believe this is my best chapter, but I tried. I wrote the end at like 4 am. So apologies if it's derpy.

Ravengal: I wasn't really for Jordan/Molly in the series, as I liked Aikka/Molly better, but I thought it was kind of cute! I just thought it was really one-sided.

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN POKEMON, BECAUSE SQUIRRELS!

Love Happens Suddenly

Chapter 5

Cupid yawned as streams of light from outside met his face. Sitting up in bed, he rubbed his eyes and glanced at the alarm clock nearby.

11:15 am. He grunted in indifference and lay back down.

His job...he hadn't done anything lately, but maybe it was for the best? With his two first attempts being unsuccessful, the Buneary was unsure whether he would continue.

He had pondered over this for about a week, not once leaving the house. To say the least, Cupid's mother hadn't been pleased, and she had shown this by trying to bribe him several ways to go outside.

The first attempt was a promise of a new book. That didn't work.

Then, she went with asking him to go fetch some Pecha Berries. It had worked briefly until he remembered his mother always went to someone special for the berries. Who? He hadn't a clue, but either way, he had ultimately decided he wouldn't go.

The Buneary was just about to go wash up when the door spammed open with the figure of a Lopunny in the doorway.

"Frank!" she yelled. "I cannot stand to see you here, cooped up in this room, any longer. I hope you understand that as a mother, it pains me to see you not doing anything worthwhile in your life. Therefore, today you are going outside, and you won't be allowed back inside the house till 5 this afternoon. I suggest you grab whatever you will need for the day, and get any thing you need to do out of the way before I kick you out.

"B-but Mom," Cupid began to plea, but was cut off by a shake of her head and a firm 'no.'

The Lopunny closed the door, leaving the Buneary by himself once more.

A week. That's how long it was since the last attack with Jim and Roxanne being the victims.

The Pikachu had been counting and visiting nearly everywhere in this city. She hadn't spoken with Molly or Jordan since last week, but on the bright side, Teddy had the chance to converse with Jim.

Turns out, the two had decided to take their friendship to the next level, and she chuckled as she recalled his excited face.

Teddy turned to the smoothie beside her and began to drink from it, content with her life. That was what it had been, and the Pikachu regretted not taking a vacation sooner.

However, even if she did enjoy this time of relaxation, Teddy wanted to go back to adventuring around the region with her best friends...wherever they were.

The Pikachu had wished they were here with her, so maybe they could tackle the case and find out together.

Frowning, she shook her head and laid into the bench, admiring the scenery. She really didn't wanna think about that now, and moved her thoughts to the attacks.

The Buneary trudged through the endless streets of conveniently placed shops. Many pokémon stood by the doorway that led inside while others had taken rather odd ways to bring in customers. Some involved juggling while others tried their best to do a dance routine.

Cupid hadn't an idea why his mom had wanted him to go outside. There were just money-crazed individuals everywhere. Or maybe it was because he was surrounded by people selling goods at the cheapest price possible; which would still be quite an amount to pay.

Nonetheless, he held onto his sack with his bow and two new plastic arrows inside. And that was just in case he found the next perfect pair to try his 'magic' on. The Buneary had decided to not bring his wings since it wouldn't lift his spirits anyway.

Finally stopping in his tracks, Cupid looked around again, and his eyes found themselves widening.

A distance away, he spotted his first supposed match, the Scrafty and Zangoose.

The two had their paws wrapped around the other, as they stood by each other rather close. The two would take turns gazing at each other, lovingly, and the Buneary was struck by shock.

So...his arrows had worked? Was it finally settling in? The bunny pokémon removed his attention from the couple and brought out one of the two tools from his bag.

Joy welled up inside him as a determined smile formed on his mouth.

He had to get to work, because love happened suddenly, did it not?

And with that, Cupid took off in a sudden speed, anyone nearby had to notice.

For minutes, he zoomed around the area before stopping abruptly. Leaning against a nearby wall, his eyes wandered through the crowd.

A sly smiled formed on his mouth upon spotting a male Minccino and a female Emolga passing by. The squirrel-like pokémon strutted with much pride and grace, it was hard to not notice. The Minccino followed her with bags upon bags resting on his arms. He wore a pained look and slouched, often resting for mere seconds before trying to catch up with her.

Cupid frowned a bit at the sight, pitying the Minccino before chuckling to himself. Clutching one of the two arrows, he aimed it at the Minccino, for he figured the Emolga would have less of a chance to notice what would be going on…until it was too late.

The Buneary took a deep breath as he felt his paws tremble at the grip of the arrow. The bunny pokémon wondered why he was so nervous.

He shook his head. No, not now. The Buneary had to do his job, but that didn't stop him from shaking.

He decided he'd ignore it, and once more, the bunny pokémon took aim.

He released his hold, and the arrow began to soar from the bow, shooting straight for the Minccino.

Cupid reached for the next one in his bag as he stared ahead. The Minccino fell upon contact with the load of bags flying into the air briefly before slamming down to the ground.

The Emolga's attention had been caught faster than Cupid would have predicted it too, and he scrambled to prepare his next target.

Not much aiming was put into his next shot, so he wasn't surprised when it went her direction, but flew right above her head.

Either way, it had frightened her as she fell on top of the Minncino.

Cupid turned away from them as he began to trot down into the alleyway. He'd check up on them sometime later, since he figured it'd take a while for his magic to work.

A little giggle escaped as he wandered deeper into the passageway, often checking behind to see if he had attracted an unwanted follower.

Luckily, there was none, but on the subject of his newest pair….

He knew it worked, and that love did happen suddenly.

The chinchilla pokémon remained dazed for a bit before his senses returned to him. He let out a cry as the Emolga landed on him before he decided to pull her up.

The moment their eyes met, a small blush formed on the squirrel pokémon's cheek.

"H-hey...Wallace...umm," she began but looked down, not finishing her intended sentence.

Wallace cocked his eyebrow in confusion. He'd never seen her act this way. It was odd to say the least, and when he spotted the pokémon leaning over to give him a smooch, the Minccino reacted.

The chinchilla pokémon shoved her away and rushed up into a standing position. Almost immediately, he took off, distancing himself and the squirrel pokémon.

The Emolga landed with a thud and whined a bit in pain before realizing her 'love' was gone. Not wanting to be deserted, she pursued him as claims of her never ending love for him were heard throughout the area.

Molly and Jordan sat side-by-side as they spoke to one another. An occasional awkward glance from Jordan would cause Molly to giggle. He'd respond with a fake hurt tone as he played victim while the Scrafty would just ignore his shenanigans and continue her giggles until it turned into a flat out laugh.

This was suddenly interrupted by the sight of a Minccino screaming as his short legs took him as fast as they could with an Emolga short on his trail.

She was also screaming but probably not for the same reasons, for it appeared she was chasing him.

Jordan growled slightly, seeing his time with Molly had been cut off, and from the short time he had known her, he was sure she'd intervene.

"Jordan," Molly began as her eyes met his with an expression of determination, "we better go help them out."

"But Molly-" the Zangoose began to protest, but she lifted her paw, obviously not in the mood to hear it.

"No time. Now." she demanded and scurried after the creatures who had just run by. The feline-like animal sighed in defeat before following after her.

The Scrafty assumed he was on her trail and nodded as she gave out their plan, "Okay, I'll go stop the Minccino, and you somehow get the Emolga. Deal? Deal."

With that, the Scrafty disappeared into the crowd the Minccino had just entered. Jordan spotted the Emolga whom was just about to join the Scrafty when he made his way over to her.

Using his height to his advantage, he grabbed hold of the Emolga and lifted her off the ground. He caught glimpse of Molly stopping the Minccino.

"Yo Molly! What do you suggest we do with these two now?" Jordan questioned as his grip on the squirrel pokémon tightened when she struggled against him.

"We take them to Teddy, of course. She should know what to do."

A/N: Umm. Read and review if you want! Comments, questions, constructive criticism (I think I need that). Mistakes? Grammar isn't my forte.

So yes, if I recall, Minccino can have the Cute Charm ability, and this Minccino, Wallace, has it. Just in case anyone is confused ^^;

Also, I don't believe I've wrote the story from the 'victim's' perspective, so I tried it out. Heheh

Okay, I've rambled enough. Now, I'm going to try and broaden my vocab. Since I feel I'm getting repetitive

BAI!

TSC, out!
