Day 25 – 10:30 A.M.
-Feraligatr's P.O.V.-
"Now Feraligatr, I trust you to keep Cyndaquil safe as Lyra, Ethan, and I go out to buy some groceries, alright?" My master instructed me as I looked at him with a blank expression. It's been a few days ever since the whole Proton and Petrel incident. We've turned the idiots into the police and have been locked up ever since. Our peaceful lives began to return to normal, as much as it could. Cyndaquil is the only thing that keeps each day… interesting. As much as I hate to admit it, I just have to say that the little kid softened me up a little. My face hurts from smiling a little more than I usually do.
"Hey Silver! It's time to go! Staraptor is getting antsy!" Lyra's voice called from outside of her home in New Bark Town. Silver replied that he's coming, and then he turns to look at me with a stern expression.
"Keep Cyndaquil safe, okay? We need Typhlosion if anything." I just nodded at him. He gave me a nod back and turned to leave. Cyndaquil came bouncing out from the kitchen and jumped on Silver's leg. Silver looked down to see Cyndaquil's twinkling eyes. He sighed and picked up the baby. "Hi Cyndaquil, uncle Feraligatr will babysit you today, okay? We need to borrow daddy Typhlosion for a short while."
I couldn't help but snicker at the way Silver was talking. I like having Lyra and Cyndaquil around. They're the only ones that could make Silver look stupid in front of an audience. Hey, you can't deny the fact that even though you love Silver, you just HAVE to love the moments where he looks like an idiot in front of someone.
Cyndaquil whimpered with teary eyes and licked Silver's hand. Silver refrained from having his eye twich. He hated when Pokémon licked him. "All right, uncle Feraligatr, you know what to do." He handed me Cyndaquil. I took him gingerly and held him in my arms until Silver closed the door and flew away with Lyra and Ethan.
Uncle Feraligatr…?
I looked down to see Cyndaquil looking straight up at me. Why do I have a bad feeling about this…?
Yes, Cyndaquil?
Do you think daddy will get mad if I say that I accidently spilled the food in the metal box?
My eyes widened. WHAT? I put down Cyndaquil quickly and ran into the kitchen. I stepped in and my mouth dropped instantly. The refrigerator door was open and a lot of the food was spilled on the ground. The strawberries and blueberries were scattered, the milk spilled, the tomatoes and apples rolled around, the whole shebang. I smacked my head. I'm so screwed…
I had to clean up the mess quickly. I don't know how long our trainers are going to take, but I'm not going to risk any chances. I grabbed a clean bowl from the shelf and started to pick up the blueberries and strawberries. I was planning to wash them and just leave them out on the table, maybe if I'm lucky, Silver, Lyra, and Ethan won't think of anything and just eat them. After I finally picked them all up, I washed them and made them into a nice arrangement in the bowl and left it on the kitchen table. I sighed deeply.
I hope they're planning on buying milk…
I grabbed a towel and started to wipe up the spilled milk on the floor. At least there wasn't that much milk, maybe around 3/4th of the carton was left. Dang it this kid! If I ever decide to have my own kid, I'm going to discipline his ass! As I wiped up the last of the milk, I stood up quickly in realization:
If I'm having this small amount of trouble and it only has been 10 minutes into babysitting a baby Pokemon, it's going to be even more worse when Silver has kids and I have to watch them.
I growled/swore out loud and threw the drenched towel in another direction. The fruits and the milk are done, time to pick up the other large fruits and vegetables that are on the ground. I quickly, yet gently, picked them all up and began to wash them in the sink. After I washed them all and put them all back in the refrigerator, I slunk to the ground, wiping my forehead.
Who was the idiot that liked having Cyndaquil around? Oh, that's right. Me. I seriously need to be careful about what I say next time. I really might get more than what I bargained for.
With that thought in my head, I stood up and left the kitchen, picking up the towel I threw away earlier. I collapsed on the cushion in front of the TV and sighed in content. Maybe I can get a few minutes of peace before I-
Uncle Feraligatrrrrrrrrrr!
…Fuck.
I lifted my head to see his adorable face looking at me while making circle motions with his hands… paws… whatever the hell do you want to call those stubby things. Yes, Cyndaquil?
C-Could we go outside into the garden patch? I want to get flowers for daddy, Aunty Lyra, Uncle Silver, Uncle Ethan, and for you too Uncle Feraligatr!
I sighed deeply. Sure.
I stood up and held his hand as we walked/skipped outside. I just couldn't resist… This kid is too cute for his own good. We walked towards the entrance/exit of New Bark Town into the shallow grass area. Last thing I want is this kid getting hurt by some wild weakling Pokemon and I get killed for it. I sat nearby and watched as Cyndaquil skipped merrily, plucking all of the pretty red and white flowers off the ground and into his arm. I smiled.
Why didn't I think of this before? I'm big and tough in this low leveled place. I could easily protect Cyndaquil and I wouldn't have to worry about him getting into trouble.
After that last thought in mind, I realized how sleepy I was. I yawned and laid down, snuggling into the soft, green grass.
Maybe I could close my eyes for a few…
And I knocked out just like that.
-Cyndaquil's P.O.V.-
I hummed a tune to myself as I picked up cute flowers for my daddy, uncles, and aunties.
They'll likey these ones!
I turned to look at Uncle Feraligatr to see which ones he would like the best, but I noticed he was sleeping. I grinned happily and quickly ran over next to him. I placed one of the good looking flowers in his hand and ran off to get some more. I stopped just before the super tall grass and looked up. It was biiiiiiiig! It was just as tall as me! I looked back at Uncle Feraligatr then turned back to look at the tall grass with a large smile.
Uncle Feraligatr wouldn't mind if I looked in here for a while!
I turned back to look at his sleeping self. I'm going to look in here for a little while Uncle Feraligatr! I pushed my way into the grass happily. After about 10 or 20 steps into the grass, I pushed the grass away to see something just as big as me! Next thing I knew, it stood up talllllllllll! My eyes and I screamed:
UNCLE !
I'm satisfied! Another chapter! :D Damn, I'm in a creative rut at the moment. I kinda got the idea on how I want things to happen, but I'm not sure. My brain's scrambled for I don't know what reason. Well, I hope you like this chapter!
And thanks to iiLover and XxxPuppylove12xxX for the review(s)!
