Disclaimer: I do not own anything, but the plot.
"So boring" Faitsu said grabbing another box from the car. They had moved into a small and quiet neighbourhood and were slowly unpacking their stuff from the van. She was finally at the age of 15, a fresh new age for a pokemon journey of sorts. But she didn't want to go. She can't.
Her Foongus (which she had now called Foongy) patted her arm sympathically as it sat atop the box she was carrying. Faitsu grumbled a little as she made her way into the apartment. The new apartment her and her mother would be staying at from now on. They had broken off from Team Plasma a year ago due to the mysterious dissapearance of their king and the split of the whole team alltogether. It would seem that they had split into two sections but Faitsu was deemed too young to know of this information.
"Faitsu chan, are you done with the boxes there?" A voice called causing Faitsu to snap herself back into reality again. She scowled at the girl giggling infront of her.
"Not yet...miss White" and after those words had left her mouth, 'miss' White started giggling again, a bit more louder this, she shook her head and pat Faitsu on the shoulder. "White, just White. Miss White kinda makes me sound old when I'm only 17".
Miss White... I mean White was their neighbour who had decided to help them out of the blue saying that it was basic manners to help neighbours in need. Due to chasing her dream job, which was to direct a movie one day she had to live on her own to take special classes somewhere, while studying in the high school nearby. White who Faitsu envied was bubbly and cheerful, her hair was curly and soft looking, with a beautiful face to go with it. Faitsu had pouted the first time they met and silently wondered if she could grow into someone like that too one day.
"O..kay" Faitsu answered after a while. White smiled at her and went to grab another box from the car, her little Tepig following her she as picked up the box and started to make her way into the apartment, a voice called out to her.
"Ahh Prez! Nice to see you so early in the morning" A boy suddenly yelled running over happily. Faitsu squinted at him. "Boyfriend?" She asked pointing at the boy. White and the boy both turned red in the face and laughed at her suggestion. "He's not my boyfriend" White finally said. Faitsu narrowed her eyes at this a soft 'ohhhh?' Could be heard coming from her. White frowned and hit Faitsu on the back "back to work" she muttered as she walked by.
"Bossy" Faitsu replied immediately, earning a promt glare from White. She could also hear faint chuckling that she knew came from the boy standing behind her.
"Here I'll help" the boy said grabbing two boxes at a time, and Faitsu had to thank him for his manly strength in making work so much faster. The boy smiled and ran up to the apartment. Most likely to catch up with White she guessed.
Foongy curled up at the curve of her arm, 'very helpful Foongy' she thought as she continued to move onwards. As she put her rightfoot foward, she accidentally hooked it against her leftfoot and tripped. Her box of things slipped away from her hands, contents spilling out of the very box. These were the very moments in which Faitsu had wished that her clumsiness had been cured a long time ago. But it never did.
As she closed her eyes to get ready for impact, someone had suddenly caught her from behind. A soft 'woah there' could be heard. she blinked. And looked around in confusion and found her box of things lying on the ground with everything spilling out, 'more work' she thought as she sighed in defeat. Speaking of which, how was she floating in mid air?. If this were a scene from some shoujo manga, she thought carefully, eyes slowly widening in alert.
Oh.
Oh.
She sqeaked and wiggled out of her saviour's grasp, faceplanting onto the cold hard ground once she was free. Her 'saviour's' laugh could be heard as she slowly picked herself off the ground. She turned to glare at the guy which only seemed to make him laugh even harder. How rude.
"Aren't you adorable?" He said after awhile, hands slowly wiping away tears of joy that Faitsu would really like to punch out of him. Foongy was then on her knee eyes full of worry for his friend. Faitsu pat the little Foongus on the head for reassurance. At that point, White was already out of the building and stopped to huff at Faitsu's saviour, her Tepig not by her side anymore.
"Rakutsu, have you come to help, or have you come to laugh at poor and innocent pretty girls?" She said with a frown. Rakutsu, which Faitsu guessed was the name of her saviour smirked at White. "But I was only following Black senpai, speaking of which, where is he? I was sure he was coming to see you Whi-"
"Rakutsu shut it!" Someone yelled from the third floor. All three teens looked up to find, the boy who Faitsu now knew as Black yelling down at them from the balcony. Rakutsu gave a low whistle and White turned red. Black realized his actions and turned red in the face too. Faitsu' s eyebrows schrunched up in confusion.
"And this is what happens when I leave my darling daughter and my neighbour alone to help move boxes for a few minutes, unbelieveable." A voice that sounded very much like Faitsu's mother had said from behind. White sighed and Faitsu upruptly stood up. Rakutsu chuckled and walked over to her mother. "A pleasure to meet you ma'am, quite sorry about the commotion we were causing, and so I sincerely ask for your forgiveness" he said lifting he hand up for a kiss. Black sputtered from above while White groaned audibly.
"Why, such a sweet boy. Is he a friend of yours? " She asked White happily. Faitsu had to narrow her eyes at the boy.
"Uhhh, he's a junior of mine at school" White said with uncertainty. Rakutsu pursed his lips, clearly not pleased with the answer. Black snickered from above. "And you young man! Get down here, don't make a fool of yourself" White yelled at him angrily. Black pouted and made his way downstairs. "Boyfriend?" Faitsu's mother asked, causing laughter from Rakutsu.
White turned red again and squeked a 'no'. Faitsu's mother shook her head softly and walked into the building with bags of groceries in her hands. Black who came down just in time bowed at her and immediately rushed over.
"Ah, I haven't exactly introduced myself have I?" Rakutsu said turning to Faitsu who was slowly keeping the contents that spilled out of the box she 'dropped'. He laughed at her actions of trying to ignore him and crowched down to help her with the spilled contents.
" uh, no? Um... I'm Faitsu, nice to meet you... oh! And this is Foongy!" She said as she picked up the box now filled once again, Rakutsu stood soon after, softly dusting himself off once he was done.
" ah, well I'm Rakutsu as you might know by now" Rakutsu said as he offered her a hand to shake then realizing that she doesn't have any free hands to shake at the moment. "Oh, of course, hello there Foongy" he said to the little mushroom. Foongy glared at him menecingly and huffed angrily. Rakutsu chuckled "Feisty isn't he?"
"Oh, and I'm Black!" Black called popping up from the side. Faitsu nodded and shifted the box into a more comfortable position." lemme help" Black said lifting the box from Faitsu's hands. She thanked him afterwards.
"Right, we should help with this, c'mon" White said patting Rakutsu on the shoulder. He nodded and made his way over to the van. Faitsu took in the sight before her, remembering her times alone when she was still in team Plasma with Foongy as her only playmate. They had rarely allowed her to visit Lord N as well, who was probably the only other 'member' who was close to her age. She smiled sofly, having friends isn't all that bad, she concluded walking over to grab some of her things, the little Foongus rested upon her shoulder as the four worked their way through the boxes.
After awhile, a few more residents which lived in the building came out to help. All who seemed to be teens studying in a nearby college. A girl whom Faitsu soon knew as Blue hugged the daylights out of Faitsu claiming that she was 'an adorable doughnut walking on two legs' squeezed her tightly leaving an unfogettable impression of her on the girl. Yellow, a friend of Blue sighed and tried to apologize afterwards.
A snowflake slowly flitted it's way down, softly landing on the tip of Faitsu's nose. She huffed and wiggled her nose slightly, not appreciating it. It was starting to snow it seemed. She cringed inwardly.
She hated snowflakes. It reminded her of the day her father 'died' and everything fell out of place. She hated snowflakes. It reminded her of when she heard her mother cry for the very first time. She loved snowflakes, because it reminded her of the first time she had suddenly made friends with people she would normally never talk to.
"Good work as always" Rakutsu said as he entered the office of the man who is famously known as 'detective' Looker. Looker looked up from his laptop, and halted his frantic typing. He raised an eyebrow at the boy who seemed to be hummning to himself happily.
"Something good happen today?" Looker asked setting his laptop aside, his Croagunk croaked beside him. Rakutsu sat himself down on an office chair and smirked.
"It would seem that way." He said fingering something in his hands. Looker sighed at the boy's love for teasing and walked over to where he sat, eyes slowly widening in The proses. "Is that-"
"It seems" he said cutting the detective off .Rakutsu lifted the locket from his hand, a yellow 'P' decorated the outside. "That our case of the mysterious dissapearing team Plasma isn't over yet"
Woots! Chapter 2! This time I really did change it up from the original, because I finally set a plotline for this unlike the last one from before which I tried to write based on my intuition.
Hopefully you guys liked it.
