ML54:Heya Dudes and Dudettes, I know it's been a while since I've updated this fic, but I figured nows as good a time as any to update it.

Mew: MewLover54 doesn't own pokemon or the song.

ML54:SPOILERS!

A Day at the Park

Oshawott squinted as the light from the kitchen window hit his face. He turned in his half-sleep like state, to try and get a few more minutes sleep.

That was when he rolled on top of Tepig. In response, Tepig squealed like his pig ways, and jumped out. Oshawott yelped in surprise and they both fell over opposite sides of the bed. "What the Hell, man?" Tepig demanded.

"Sorry. I was just trying to get out of the sun." The otter pokemon replied. The pig just shook his head, poking his chest.

"I'll let you off this time. But don't do that again!" Oshawott nodded, stepping back being frightened, despite having type advantage. Just then, Piplup walked down the steps, yawning softly.

"Oh. Did we wake you Piplup?" Oshawott asked, in a guilty like way. Piplup smiled and shook her head.

"No. I usually get up this early." The penguin pokemon replied,. They heard a large rattling sound and turned to see Tepig get three apples from the fridge. Piplup turned to Oshawott.

"He has the apatite of a Snorlax and the courtesy of a Crobat." He answered, shaking his head slightly. "Can I get drink, please?" Piplup smiled at his manners.

"Go ahead. Help yourself." Oshawott smiled and headed to the kitchen for a glass of water.

"Snivy..." Tranquil started, causing Snivy to look up at her, from her bed. "...What're ya' thinking?" Snivy sighed.

"Nothing." The bird like pokemon looked at her, in an incredulously.

"Then why did you not answer the first time? I called you eight times!" Snivy's eyes widened, in a busted sort of look. She'd been daydreaming about the otter pokemon.

"Look if it's something personal, I could tell you something personal, so we both have equal leverage. Deal?" The snake like pokemon pondered this and smiled.

"Deal! But you go first." She reasoned. Tranquil nodded and started to blush a bit.

"Well. I kinda like Staraptor..." Snivy's eyes widened again.

"Really! You only just met!" Tranquil nodded.

"I know, I know. He's just a fun pokemon to talk to. And he's got a great sense of humour as well." A sigh escaped Snivy's lips, smiled adorning them.

"Well. I heard from Pikachu that he's single and he is looking for someone. You should go for it." A blush crept onto Tranquil's cheeks as she pondered this idea.

"Maybe, anyway. Your turn." Snivy nodded, her green cheeks becoming red.

"Well. I kind of like...Actually love...Oshawott." She finally admitted, feeling a huge weight being lifted off her shoulders. Tranquil smiled, widely.

"I knew it!" Shocked, Snivy jumped back a little bit. "I knew you liked him and that's great! You guys would be SO cute together! Almost as cute as Pikachu and Buneary." Just as this was said, they heard the rabbit pokemon giggle, as she was carried by Pikachu past the door.

"Pikachu, you don't need to carry me." Pikachu smirked.

"You know you love it." Buneary blushed, no attempt to hide, but smiled anyway.

"I suppose you're right."

Oshawott was humming to himself, rocking back and forth on his chair. There was a deck of cards in the middle of the table. Piplup was to his left and Tepig was to his right. They each held five cards. "I'll see your 2 poke and I'll raise you five."

"I fold!" Piplup declared, holding no matching or corresponding cards. Tepig was holding three Jacks and two Twos.

"I'll call. Read them and weep!" He declared, showing off his cards. Oshawott smirked.

"So start." He replied, showing four Aces and a King. Tepig's eyes bugged out as Oshawott took all the rest of the chips, indicating that he won.

"I guess that's what I get for challenging a you and losing for the eighteenth time." Tepig moaned, handing over 200 poke. Just then, Chimchar, Pikachu and Buneary walked/been carried into the room. Chimchar kissed Piplup on the beak.

"Good game?" Piplup pouted.

"I owe Oshawott 200 poke." Chimchar sweat dropped, as Oshawott chuckled and gave Tepig back his poke.

"I don't mind guys. You don't have to pay me. I have plenty of money." Tepig sighed, inwardly with relief as he pocketed his money.

"Thanks dude. If I were to give you poke every time I lost a game. I'd have paid you 2500 poke right now." Volt then bounded into the room, with his parents following.

"What we doing today? What we doing today?" He yelled as everyone else came down. Pikachu shrugged.

"It's only fair that we let our guests decide. They're new to the area after all." Oshawott smiled.

"Cool. What about the Trainer Memorial Park?" Volt started jumping up and down excitedly.

"YAY!" Snivy smiled slightly at the cute child's antics.

"I guess we're going to the park then."

The park wasn't very busy, but their were still plenty of pokemon there. Volt got excited and zoomed off towards the playground, with a worrying mother following him. "Careful in the snow Volt!" Buizel sighed.

"My family's crazy." He said to himself, more than the others and ran after them too. Pikachu piggy-backed Buneary over to a small café, because of her injury, and decided to stay there with her.

Chimchar, Tepig, Piplup, Staraptor, Tranquil and Poliswine went over to sit at some benches to rest a bit, from the tiring walk. Chansey and Croagunk just decided to sit near the playground and watch as Pachirisu and Buizel fruitlessly try to catch their son.

Oshawott and Snivy were sitting at a bench as well, by a lake. Snivy sighed. "Oshawott, I know it's cold but I think the huge hat and scarf is a bit much." True to her word, where she was wearing just a brown scarf, he was wearing a dark blue scarf that covered his mouth and nose, as well as a hat that acted almost like shades to cover his eyes.

"Sorry. I just don't like the cold." This statement caused suspicion to rise in Snivy.

"It was YOUR idea to come here. And water types have low body temperatures anyway..." She was interupted by a small Eevee bounded up to them.

"U-um. Excuse me. Are you Oshawott?" Snivy raised a brow at her nervousness, and suppressed any surprise that entered her features. Oshawott sighed.

"Yeah..." The Eevee squealed and got out a small note book.

"Can I have your autograph?" She asks, excitedly, causing Snivy to widen her eyes. Oshawott sighed, defeatedly.

"Alright. But don't tell anyone I'm here, okay?" Oshawott pretty much begged. Eevee's eyes sparkled as she nodded. So Oshawott took the notebook and pen. Then signed his name and a small message.

The Eevee skipped away, happily while Snivy held her wide eyed look. "Why did she want your autograph. And most importantly, HOW does she know you?" Oshawott sighed, defeatedly again and replied.

"I'm sort of a singer." Snivy stifled a chuckle. Oshawott raised a brow. "What? I'm serious."

"Oh yeah. Sing a song and prove it." She responded, flicking his chest with a vine. Oshawott's eyes burned with competition as he took a deep breathe.

"I can see

You're not yourself

Even when your here

With me

I know that you're somewhere else"

Snivy's eyes widened a bit at hearing his voice. He was telling the truth, and he even had her swaying a bit.

"So put another record on

Kiss and lead me on

Nothing really matters when we're dancing

Listen to the same sad song

Playing on repeat

Cos every time we come this close

My heart skip, skips a beat!"

Oshawott found himself, getting lost in the words as well. He hadn't sung since he decided to quit. He smirked at Snivy's reaction and grabbed her vine, jumping from the bench. This in turn, pulling her up and started to spin in a circle.

"So come on spin me around

Now I don't wanna go home

Cos when you hold me like this

You know my heart skip, skips a beat

I know I should but I can't leave it alone

And when you hold me like this

That's when my heart skip skips a beat."

He saw her blushing face, and took it as a sign of her being uncomfortable, letting go. He saw that he had spun them in front of a wide eyed, crowd of their friends who were resting.

In the end, he knew his secret was out there, so he carried on.

"Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh!

So hung up

We can't let go

If you really have to leave

One more time just move me slow."

He smirked when they started to bob their heads to the music. He then saw the small crowd he was gathering and just smiled, allowing them to hear him, if for the last time. Taking off his stupid disguise, he carried on upon hearing the gasp from the audience.

"So put another record on play it on repeat

Nothing really matters when we're dancing

Cos all you ever need to know is what you do to me

And everytime you come this close

My heart skip skips a beat."

He offered a paw to Tranquil. She just shrugged her wings and put her wing in Oshawott's as she was promptly pulled up and spun.

"So come on spin me around

Now I don't wanna go home

Cos when you hold me like this

You know my heart skip, skips a beat

I know I should but I can't leave it alone

And when you hold me like this

That's when my heart skip skips a beat."

He let a giggling bird like pokemon go and kept going, with people clapping and whooping.

"Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh!"

He paused, as two pokemon brothers, a Minun and Plusle shrugged and jumped in.

"Rizzle Kicks. Yeah at the start of the night I was like (what) Let's have need a team talk. Playing with this lady ain't something I'd agreed for. Vibes keep going up and down like a see-saw. Should have just taken her to the cinema to see Saw. Cool, she let me stick with her I figured her figure's a sure shot winner. Plus I've got to lead from the back, I'm a skipper."

The two brothers went back into the crowd while Oshawott clapped for them and he moved back to the middle.

"You make my heart skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip, skip a beat!"

He then saw the little Eevee from before and offered a paw. The Eevee smiled widely with a small blush adorning her cheeks as she took his paw and jumped into the middle as Oshawott spun round.

"So come on spin me around

Now I don't wanna go home

Cos when you hold me like this

You know my heart skip, skips a beat

I know I should but I can't leave it alone

And when you hold me like this

That's when my heart skip skips a beat."

He let her go and took a bow as the crowd cheered. Eevee jumped up to her parents excitedly as the crowd dispersed, respecting Oshawott's privacy. He is retired after all. That was a rare treat for them. "And thank you Minun and Plusle!" The two smiled and nodded back while making their way over to the playground. He turned and smirked at Snivy.

"That answer your bet?" Snivy, still blushing a bit from the paw to paw contact earlier just nodded mutely. Pikachu came over, piggy backing Buneary again, looking confused.

"What was all that about?" He asked, curiously.

"Yeah. Everyone from the café came out saying something about an Oshy being here." Oshawott rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"That's my nickname. It's catchier than Oshawott." He smiled goofily. "But it felt great to be singing again. Like I was letting out a lot of endorphins. I don't know what they are, but I heard I shouldn't have too many." Tepig then raised the question on everyone's minds.

"Why didn't you tell us you sang?" He sighed.

"I just wanted to be treated normally. Not like a celebrity. I mean it was great and all, but I much prefer the quieter life. Less stressful." Pikachu nodded.

"I can understand being treated like a celebrity." He tilted his head towards Buneary. "She was ogling me since the start of the Sinnoh journey." Buneary smirked.

"Yeah. But I wore ya' down Pika'." She replied, rubbing her head into the crook of his neck. He chuckled. Buizel and Pachirisu then came up with Volt between them.

"I think we should go now. Volt just put an electrical charge on the slide and a Totodile followed him. She's going to the Pokemon Center now." The others stifled a chuckle as they nodded and left.
