I've taken a while for this. I got stuck but somehow today by reading the reviews I managed to get the good ol' ball rolling again. So I really really REALLY TRULY APPRECIATE everyone who reviewed! THANK YOU! :D This would have never gotten written if you hadn't reviewed! Anyway, a boatload of new characters are here, and I don't think I got around to having them named. I'll still put them at the bottom of the chapter however. Anyway, enjoy! and review! :D
At the end of the day, Matthew returned home. He was immediately greeted by grunts and curses, as well as yelps and shouts of pain. He cursed under his own breath, and went to see what the problem was.
In the hallway, Ezekiel sat on the floor. His long reddish brown hair seemed to be caught in the bathroom door somehow. Matthew's eyebrow raised when he saw his resident freeloader. Raisa, Suika and Reina were gathered around the door, trying to figure out how his hair had even gotten caught or how to get him out. Every time they tried to pull the man free, he yelped or shouted, making them stop and apologize.
"Look, stop your yelping or whimpering or whatever, we're gonna have to hurt you if you want to get free without getting a haircut!" Raisa hissed, frustrated. "How did you even get your hair caught?" she asked.
"Garth did it! He stopped me here because he said he wanted to apologize for earlier, but he wrapped my hair in the lock and then he locked himself in the bathroom!" Ezekiel screamed, tears coming to his eyes as the girls tried to pull him free again.
"Wait, wait...Who's Garth?" Matthew asked. The bearded man looked up at the psychic as best he could.
"Well...He's a jerk! Also, he's Giratina," Ezekiel grumbled. "Just so everyone knows, I'm gonna HAVE to get back at him for this!" he growled.
"Another one!" Matthew seethed. "Well, it looks like you're going to have to sit here until Garth comes out or cut off some of your hair," he pointed out to Ezekiel. Flames came to the bearded man's eyes.
"Cut my hair? NO!" he roared. Matthew just walked away, shaking his head. What a stubborn fool... Matthew thought to himself. The psychic simply headed up to his room.
Ezekiel sat in the hall for several hours after everyone else had gone to bed. He couldn't sleep himself; it'd pull his hair way too much to let his head drop. He thought of shouting for a pair of scissors, fully ready to give in and cut his hair even a little, when he heard the click of the lock. He heard the doorknob of the door behind him turn, and then the door opened. The light that flooded out of the bathroom blinded him, but he realized his hair had come free when the door had opened. He rose to his feet, shielding his eyes. Garth smirked, and then reached in and turned off the light. He pushed past Ezekiel roughly, almost shoving the taller man against the wall. Ezekiel didn't wait to see exactly where the other man went, however; he simply stepped inside the bathroom, turned on the light, and shut the door.
He'd been holding it for as long as he'd been sitting in the hall, and now he really had to go.
The next morning after Matthew had left, Moka and Celico decided they wanted to go to the zoo. Raisa claimed she had other plans with Reina, the two had become friends despite the short time they'd known each other but they had bonded a little more after trying to get Ezekiel free from the bathroom door the previous day, which left Ezekiel and Suika to take the two girls. They hurried out the door. Moka and Celico ran ahead of them and dragged them along by the hand, both Suika and Ezekiel smiling. Once they'd gotten to the zoo, Moka and Celico wanted to see everything all at once.
Meanwhile, several people were travelling together. There was a girl with blonde and orange wavy hair and red eyes, wearing a yellow dress with fake orange flames around the neck, end of the sleeves, and the edge of the dress. It also had a tail. Another girl had long, thick shimmering blue hair and red eyes as well, wearing a pale blue sleeveless dress that went to just above her feet in the back. She also wore a pale blue necklace with three darker blue icicles stuck together on it.
There was a guy with medium length messy blue hair and red eyes, wearing a white dress shirt, blue pants and a blue tie with a red triangle on it. Another guy had spiky red hair and yellow eyes. He wore red pants with a black belt holding them up. He was shirtless and very muscular. There were also several others, such as a long dark blue haired man, a pink haired girl who had purple streaks in her hair, a boy with short green hair, a boy with light blue hair, a man with really pale blue hair with a cape, and guy with spiky blonde and black hair.
"Are we there yet?" the man with spiky red hair asked impatiently.
"No! You've been asking that every five minutes for the past two hours!" the blue haired man with the tie snapped, irritated. Everyone else stayed silent. Five minutes later, however...
"Are we there yet?"
"I'm going to kill you if you ask that again," the man with long dark blue hair growled out.
"I'd like to see you try!" the spiky red haired man retorted. The other man just sighed in aggravation and looked away. Everyone was overjoyed when they finally arrived in Saffron City, simply for the fact that the red haired man would stop asking if they were there yet.
"Finally!" he shouted. The girl with long blue hair rolled her eyes.
"Yes, Greg, we're finally here...Calm down," she answered.
"Oh come on Aria, let me have my fun!" he exclaimed excitedly.
"You're not a child!" Aria shouted. Greg simply ignored her. The group walked around the city for a while, though they ended up at the zoo.
Moka and Celico noticed the large group very soon and pointed them out to Ezekiel and Suika.
"They're very...colourful," Suika commented. Moka and Celico immediately got away from the older two, and ran over to the group. The boy with light green hair, wearing a white T-shirt with three pink petals on it and green shorts, saw them and immediately ran out of the group. Mew and Celico just looked at him, curious, while the boy looked back at them.
"I'm Moka," the pink girl introduced.
"I'm Celico," the green girl said after Moka.
"Nice to meet you...I'm Sam," the green haired boy answered. The two girls grabbed Sam and took him over to Suika and Ezekiel.
"I'm Sam," he chirped.
"I'm Suika," the blue-violet woman smiled.
"I'm Ezekiel!" the slightly bearded man half shouted, grinning. Sam took a step back, surprised. "Oh, are you shy or something?" Ezekiel asked. The green haired boy nodded.
"Hey, get back here Sam. Don't go off talking to weird people," the man with long dark blue hair called out. He wore a light blue shirt, darker blue pants, a belt, and a silver trench coat. The group he was with all walked over to where Ezekiel, Suika, Moka, Celico and Sam were.
"Don't call people weird!" Ezekiel exclaimed. The dark blue haired man's eyebrow rose.
"You certainly look weird," he stated.
"So do you," the slightly bearded man grumbled. The blonde and orange haired girl stepped forward before the dark blue haired man could respond.
"Okay, let it go Dante. We all look kinda strange," she spoke up.
"Speak for yourself, you flying feather duster!" Greg shouted.
"Greg!" the blonde and orange haired girl shrieked. She punched him in the ribs, hurting her hand. She glared at him. The red haired male just grinned lopsidedly. "Damn you," she hissed.
"Use your brain next time Moltres...Aw crap!" Greg responded. The whole group glared daggers at the muscular man. Dante and Moltres, whatever her name was, looked ready to kill him.
"You IDIOT! Use her ACTUAL NAME! WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS HOW MANY TIMES ALREADY!" Dante roared.
"Okay, okay. Sorry, sheesh..." Greg replied, trailing off in a grumble. "One screw up and you just about bite a guy's head off," he complained. Aria just shook her head.
"So you're Moltres?" Ezekiel asked. Moltres scowled, but nodded.
"Call me Momiko though," she added, "that's what I'm supposed to be called," she pointedly glared at the muscular man a little behind her.
"I'm Ezekiel...but I'm actually Entei," the slightly bearded man introduced himself.
"Oh good, we found the right people after all. Though we should probably go somewhere else to discuss this," Dante suggested. Everyone agreed, and Ezekiel and Suika led them all back to Matthew's.
Matthew returned home to find the number of people in his house had severely increased. It was actually starting to look cramped, but that was probably just because Greg—who was actually Groudon—refused to stay in one spot for too long.
"Dude, how do you have so much energy?" Ezekiel wondered.
"I've always had a lot of energy...Just as a pokemon I was too slow to ever really burn it off," Greg explained.
"You're like a kid," Raisa said, rolling her eyes.
"Nah, he's just a muscle-bound idiot!" Garth shouted. If the dark haired male ever regretted anything, he'd probably have regretted saying that, because as Garth took off running, Greg was right behind him.
"Hey! No running in my house!" Matthew screamed. Dante shook his head.
"Just a bunch of complete numbskulls," he muttered crossly.
"Who are you?" Matthew asked, taking notice of the dark blue haired man.
"I'm Dante...I'm Dialga," he replied. "And you?"
"I'm Matthew. I'm Mewtwo," Matthew answered. Dante nodded. As Garth and Greg came tearing into the living room and back out again, a blonde and black spiky haired guy sighed.
"Running around the house like animals...Not cool," he said. Raisa nodded.
"I know...It's annoying," she replied. The blonde and black haired man smiled at her.
"They're probably going to break something," he stated. He wore a yellow sleeveless shirt, and baggy black pants. Matthew's eye twitched as he heard the man say that.
"Oh no they're not! And who are you?" Matthew screamed and then calmly asked.
"I'm Zack...or Zapdos, but whatever," the man, Zack, shrugged.
"I see..." Matthew replied, and raced out of the room to catch Garth and Greg.
Ezekiel scowled as Zack and Raisa kept talking. He saw his sister smile and laugh. When he saw the blonde and black haired man put his arm around her, though, that was the last straw. He marched over to them.
"Ezekiel? What's up?" Raisa asked, curious. Ezekiel just pointed to Zack's arm.
"Drop that," he growled, and the blonde and black haired man's arm fell. The bearded man glared at him, and guided his sister away.
"Go soak your head, Ezekiel! I like him!" Raisa growled lowly.
"I'm not going to go soak my head, I showered this morning! And too bad, I don't like him!" Ezekiel growled back.
"You're so annoying sometimes!" Raisa huffed.
"Whatever," the bearded man responded. Dante just shook his head. The girl with pink hair with purple streaks through it was standing next to him. She wore a pink tank top, a pair of purple short shorts, and a pink skirt tied on one side with purple stripes down the front. Her hair was up in a high ponytail.
"Don't be a grouch," she said to Dante. He looked at her.
"Go put on some pants or something, Prika," he muttered, only loud enough for the pink haired girl next to him to hear.
"That's about as likely to happen as Greg having fully functional brain cells," Prika, who was actually Palkia, snorted.
"It's a mad house in here," the dark blue haired male commented.
"Don't worry! It'll get worse when everyone else arrives," Prika replied positively.
"That's not a good thing..." Dante groaned.
"Sure it is! We never get to see everyone like this!" the pink haired girl chirped.
"What? See them acting like mentally retarded Mankeys? No thanks, I'd rather not see this," Dante said sourly.
Ahahahaha! I had fun writing this...Poor Ezekiel. Poor Greg too, actually, everyone keeps ragging on him for being an idiot. Oh well. Do you think Greg did or did NOT catch Garth? You'll find out in the next chapter...whenever I get it up! DX
Characters:
The serious and grouchy Matthew- Mewtwo
The argumentative and freeloading Ezekiel- Entei
The bouncy and cheerful but quiet Moka- Mew
The cheerful and quiet copycat Celico- Celebi
The responsible Suika and the snappy 'do-anything-to-get-out-of-working' Raisa- Suicune and Raikou
The shy but willing to speak her mind Reina- Registeel (she seems to have disappeared from this chapter...Odd.)
The loud and confrontational Garth- Giratina
The shy, quiet and timid Sam- Shaymin (This was never stated; but if you think about the colours -white, pink and green- it'll probably give him away)
The loud, bulky and energetic Greg- Groudon (I love this guy! seriously...Now that I look at my drawing for him again, he makes me think of Bruno! XD)
The fiery Momiko- Moltres
The serious and sour Dante- Dialga (he can totally understand how Matthew feels about the nutcases running about in Mewtwo's house)
The fun-loving and positive Prika- Palkia (the fun-loving bit wasn't stated either so...blah)
The calm, sometimes snappy Leo- Latios (neither his name nor what Legendary he is was stated; but he was the guy with the blue tie that snapped at Greg when he asked "are we there yet?" before Dante threatened to kill Greg. No worries, more will be seen on him)
The neat and cool Aria- Articuno (it was never stated what pokemon she was but come on: if you think about her colour scheme when she was described and her name, it just screams at you...well at least it does from my perspective but I'm writing this so whatever)
The ... Reg- Regice (He didn't have any speaking lines, he was just vaguely described: "a guy with really pale blue hair and a cape,". It was never stated what pokemon he was, so definitely don't feel bad for not getting this guy. I don't even have a set personality for him yet!)
The energetic and happy Paul- Phione (He was neither named nor stated what pokemon he was; he was described as having light blue hair. Heck, going through it now to find out his name I wasn't even sure it was him. I'm too vague sometimes...But this is so ironic in that he is personality wise the complete opposite of the actual character in the pokemon anime also named Paul! XD)
The cool and sometimes excitable Zack- Zapdos (clearly stated AND named AND described. What a rarity for this chapter! X_X he even spoke!)
OK...So there are all the characters that appeared so far...Next chapter will probably take a break from introducing any new characters since I brought in this crapload and I'm going to work on character development or whatever with the new guys and gals. There are too many that were never stated or named for my liking...I was too vague with them, but I'll mention them in the next chapter. ENJOY and review! By the way...I really shouldn't have introduced so many in one chapter, I think I made a mess...but anyway! Enjoy!
