Day 25 – 11:30 A.M.

-Feraligatr's P.O.V.-

I yawned and stretched out.

Awww man. I never felt this rested… rested… OH MY FUCKING ARCEUS! RESTED?

I sat up quickly and looked around. My heart dropped and my face paled once I realized that Cyndaquil was gone.

NOW I'm going to be killed!

I scanned the area quickly for something tiny that had an aura of flowers… nothing. I panicked and looked towards the tall grass. Oh… my… Lugia… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me Cyndaquil ran in there and is STILL safe! I bolted into the grass so fast that my feet barely touched the floor.

CYNDAQUIL! CYNDAQUIL! WHERE ARE YOU?

If Silver, Lyra, Ethan, Meganium, OR Typhlosion won't kill me for this, my guilty conscience will. My head swerved left and right as I looked for the tiny fire baby.

CYNDAQUIL!

Uncle Feraligatr?

I dug my paws and feet into the ground as I looked around quickly for the squeaky voice. Under the shade of a white apricorn tree, was Cyndaquil with a Caterpie, having a tea party. I nearly fainted. I didn't know whether I should be thankful or some other feeling I can't describe yet, but I know that it isn't positive. Cyndaquil gave me a large smile and waved over to me quickly.

Uncle Feraligatr, Uncle Feraligatr! Come and meet my new friend Caterpie!

I stood up and walked over towards them, looking down on them. Cyndaquil looked extremely happy to see me while Caterpie looked extremely terrified.

Caterpie! This is my Uncle Feraligatr! Uncle Feraligatr! This is my new friend Caterpie!

Caterpie looked up at me and tried to maintain a smile but was failing kind of badly. His lips twitched noticeably.

H-Hi Mr. Feraligatr!

I nodded at him with a straight face. I guess it didn't help the situation. The air began to feel heavy with awkwardness. The only thing that maintained the fluffy aura was Cyndaquil.

Don't be nervous, Caterpie! Uncle Feraligatr is really nice!

I snorted. Just wait till this kid gets older… Caterpie nodded and finally managed to keep a small smile on his face. Cyndaquil handed me a tiny Japanese tea cup and poured tea into it.

Join us, Uncle Feraligatr! We were having tea and cookies!

I drank the tea quickly then placed my cup down on the table. We have to leave now, Cyndaquil. I don't know how long it has been, but Lyra, Ethan, Silver, and your daddy will be coming home soon and will be plenty worried about you. And then kill me afterward.

Cyndaquil's eyes became extremely sad as he lowered his head. Awwww… I wanted to play a little longer…

I sighed and rubbed his round-ish head. I'm sorry, Cyndaquil. Maybe next time you can play with Caterpie.

Cyndaquil and Caterpie both looked up at me with hopeful eyes. Promise?

I couldn't assure that, but I nodded. I promise.

Both babies cheered and hugged each other. Oh great, now both of them had that fluffy… flowery… hearty… cheerful aura. I just hope that it wasn't contagious. They both looked back at me and I gulped.

Uncle Feraligatr! They both tackled me and gave me a tight hug to the best of their abilities. I hesitantly hugged them both back just so that they won't cry. After a good minute of loves and hugs, I let them go and placed them on the ground.

Time to go, Cyndaquil.

Cyndaquil nodded and gave Caterpie a last hug. Goodbye Caterpie, I'll miss you! You know where to find me!

Caterpie nodded and wriggled a hug back. So long my friend!

"You know where to find me?" Oh great… Don't tell me he told Caterpie where Lyra lives… Damn, who else did he tell? I mentally flipped at the thought of Cyndaquil telling multiple wild Pokémon where we stayed over until it was time for another adventure. I can see it all now… Lyra's mother eating breakfast peacefully until a horde of Pokémon comes barging through the door and scaring the living shit outta her. Then she'll call the professor… then she'll call Ethan… then she'll call Lyra… then she'll bust Lyra… then Silver will have to break into their house in the middle of the night or when the mom isn't around just to see her… then I'll have to tag along and help… Oh Arceus… Help my poor brain out, PLEASE?

With that, they let go of each other and Cyndaquil took my hand. I'm ready to go now, Uncle Feraligatr.

I wrapped my large paw around Cyndaquil's tiny paw in a firm hold and began to walk out of the grass. Well, the anxiety stopped considerably, at least. Hopefully we'll be home before everyone gets home and I'll get busted big time for it. Just as we stepped out of the clearing, we heard something scream in terror.

CYNDAQUIL! FERALIGATR!

Both of us jerked our heads back into the grass, it was Caterpie's voice! Cyndaquil looked up at me. Uncle Feraligatr! That was Caterpie!

I sighed, somehow I feel like I'm going to partially regret this later. I picked up Cyndaquil and placed him on my back. Hold onto my neck tightly and don't let go.

Cyndaquil nodded and hugged my neck tightly. I ran back into the grass as swiftly as I could. Caterpie really did sound like he was in trouble and I guess it won't take THAT long to beat up whatever the hell decided to bother him. A shiver ran down my spine, I didn't like that feeling… Something wasn't right. Leaping out of the bushes and into the clearing where the tree is, was Caterpie being cornered by 2 male humans. I growled in irritation. This really isn't my day…

"There you are, you midget of a Pokémon! Get back in your pokeball!" I stomped on the ground and growled even louder to make my presence known. They turned around to look at me and their mouths dropped.

"No way! It's a Feraligatr!" Human 1 exclaimed. I rolled my eyes. No, I'm a fucking Venusaur you dumb ass.

"Let's capture it!" Human 2 pulled out a pokeball and threw it at me with more energy than necessary. It hit my head and bounced right off. I realized just how much energy he used. A large lump formed on my head and I roared out in anger. I swear my eyes blazed red with fury as my paws became fists. I felt the water rumble violently in my stomach and shot up through my throat and out my mouth. I blasted those idiots right into the apricorn tree. I gave a growling chuckle as they tried to get up, but fail.

"My clothes are ruined!" Human 1 yelled out. I rolled my eyes. Pretty boy… Probably even a momma's boy too.

"Damn it! Now I have to have mom has to clean this up!"

Case closed. I struck them both again with a Hydro Cannon move. This time, they both looked near to fainted. I gave another snicker. Served these asses right. Alright Cyndaquil, our mission here is done. …Cyndaquil? I quickly moved my hand on my neck to where Cyndaquil should've been, but he wasn't there. FUCK, I LOST HIM AGAIN!

Chapter 13 is done! :D But I still feel like I've been half assing the recent chapters. Maybe it's cuz I'm in that creative rut and I just want to post up something. Well, thanks to the people who favorite-d and put it on their story alerts. It means a lot to me when I see that someone enjoys the story. I'll try to do better. Until next time! Hopefully today again I'll post up another chapter.

P.S.: Oh! And special thanks goes to *Throws flowers in the air* dun dun dun~ 3 Power Rangers Lost Galaxy! Yes, I had this random urge to watch Power Rangers again. And funny, it's helped me relax and think a little more when I was working on the chapters.
