Well, here's da next chapter. Thanks to all who reviewed! Things get a little chaotic, but also a bit more explained.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.
Phi giggled. She began to glow white, and her shape changed from a young girl to a Pokémon. The same exact thing happened with Jira. Instead of two ordinary...on second thought, maybe not so ordinary, but still humans, before them floated Phione and Jirachi. Phione flew over and hugged Mew, and Jira gave the pink Pokémon a high five. Then Mew came over to Kiki, Lucario, and Umbreon, jaws dropped.
"What?" she asked. "I told you that legendary Pokémon can change their appearance."
"Yeah, last Thursday," the black fox said cynically.
"Then why do you look so surprised?"
Umbreon rolled her eyes. "Sarcasm, Mew."
"Ah."
The six stood there quietly for a moment. Finally, Mew said, "Well, let's not stand out here collecting dust! Come on in!" They entered the Tree and Mew shut the door.
Inside, the pink kitten Pokémon led her guests through long corridors until they reached the kitchen. A green fairy Pokémon dashed up to them.
"Hi, everyone!" she called.
"How are you, Cele...," Jirachi started.
"Celebi!" Phione cried. She tore toward the Pokémon, and was met with a gigantic hug.
"Phione!" cooed Celebi. "You've grown so much!"
"Cele...bi...you're crushing...me," the little blue Pokémon struggled. Kiki couldn't help but break out into a fit of laughter. For the first time, Celebi noticed the presence of Umbreon, Lucario, and Kiki.
"Mew, you invited a human?" she asked. "And two non-legendaries?" The fairy Pokémon chuckled. "This is a first!" She flew up to Kiki and offered her hand. "Pleased to meet you!" she said.
"Likewise!" replied Kiki as she shook it. She turned her head and mouthed to Umbreon, "Oh my god, I'm touching Celebi's hand!" The fox sighed.
After the introductions were over, Mew brought out the food. There were plates filled to the top with all kinds of food, from burgers to salad. The pink Pokémon asked Umbreon, "Did you bring fruit salad?" She looked at the fox hopefully.
"I would have, but Kiki drained our berry store making Poffins."
Kiki smiled. "I brought the Poffins, though!" Out of her pocket she pulled out a Poffin case, crammed with blackened Poffins. "After you get past the crispy part," she said, "you can taste the berries."
"Along with soot, sawdust, and God knows what else," Lucario murmured.
"So, who wants one?" shouted Kiki. There was an awkward silence.
"What do we say?" Jirachi whispered to Mew. She shrugged. At that moment, a loud knock was heard.
"Alleluia, praise the Lord!" cried Mew as she sped to the door, followed by the others, happy to get away from the Poffins of Death.
"Manaphy!" Mew called. "Glad you could make it!" She led the Seafaring Pokémon to where the others were standing, then muttered to him under her voice, "Thank you."
"Uh, no problem," he replied, quite confused. Then he shifted his gaze toward the group. "Phione!"
"Papa!" Phione embraced Manaphy and asked, "Where were you?"
"I had to get this," he answered, then showed them an enormous ice cream sundae. Everyone gasped. It nearly touched the ceiling.
"That's a big sundae," said Lucario.
After a brief silence, Jirachi shouted, "Well, why don't we eat it?" Everybody cheered their agreement, brought the monstrous dessert into the kitchen, and dug in.
About an hour later, the sundae wasn't even half gone. Between bites, Jirachi was recounting the story of when he and Deoxys went on a ding-dong-ditch spree in their human forms and got whacked over the head by an old lady. All of the listeners were laughing their heads off. Then, Kiki screamed, "Brain freeze!" She grabbed her head, got off the chair, and started dancing like a mad woman. Mew got up and danced with her, and their audience clapped heartily.
During all of this, Phione glanced out the window and shouted, "Hey, Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit are here!" Mew stopped dancing all of the sudden.
"M-Mesprit?" she asked quietly.
"Come on!" Umbreon cried in an unnaturally loud voice. "Let's go meet them! The more the merrier, I always say!"
Manaphy looked at Lucario and asked, "Can you get drunk on ice cream?"
Lucario shrugged, saying, "I don't know, but she never says that." The group made their way to the door. But, in all of the confusion, no one saw Jirachi quietly slip away.
"They are all here."
The message reached its target loud and clear. The recipient smirked. His revenge was drawing near. The man looked at his right arm, sitting in a sling. "It is time," he said. "Be afraid, my friends. Be very afraid." He chuckled as he received a psychic image of Lucario, Umbreon, Kiki, and Mew. "Something wicked this way comes."
Guess who's back!
Something wicked this way comes...
