Chapter 6: Soulshank Redemption

I was NOT a happy Bunnelby.

Why? Well first off, we had finished dealing with a poacher the day before, who took SPEWPA'S! SPEWPA'S! As a Bug-Type lover I was ENRAGED by this, along with my own Spewpa! And then today, Ash lost to this girl named Penelope and her Sylveon because he didn't know about the Fairy-Type. That PROVES he's from Kanto!

In case you couldn't tell, I was still annoyed at the poacher.

But I'm getting off task. Since Ash lost Penelope was now leading us to her kindergarten, apparently she just brings in trainers to play with the children.

"Well, here we are." Penelope said, gesturing to a colourful looking house, filled with children playing on little rides.

"Wow! Look at this place!" Ash marvelled.

"Pikachu!" Said pokemon agreed.

"It all looks so fun!" Bonnie cheered.

"Dedenne!" Dedenne said.

"Chimchar!" Chimchar ran from Bonnie's leg to the kiddie rides, instantly playing around with a giant grin on his face.

"Lookie! It's a new pokemon!" All of the kindergartners (except for one) gathered around Chimchar, who was still playing around.

Penelope turned to me. "I'm glad your Chimchar fits in so well, he's such a sweet pokemon."

I smiled. "I'm glad too, he looks like he's really having fun!"

"Froak!" A certain bubble frog croaked.

The children and Chimchar ran over to Penelope. "Penelope? Are these new trainers?" One boy asked

Penelope nodded. "Yep! They're really nice and friendly, so you don't have to worry."

"Yaaaaay!" They all cheered. It was actually pretty sweet as they started petting Pikachu and Froakie as well.

An elderly woman then came out. "Why hello there, you must be more new trainers, it's very nice to meet you. I'm the principle of this kindergarten."

We exchanged greetings as Serena then thought of something. "Why don't we send out all our pokemon so they can play as well?"

"That's an excellent idea." Clemont nodded as we all got out our Poke-Balls.

We tossed them into the air, making all of our pokemon appear in flashes of bright light. The children all wanted top play with them...except for that one boy again.

I looked at Penelope. "Hey Penelope? Who's that?"

I pointed to the boy and Penelope sighed sadly. "That's Randall, he's been scared of pokemon ever since he was little."

I gasped, imagine living in a world like ours and being scared of pokemon! Poor guy.

"Really?" Ash asked. "I'll go and talk to him." he stated confidently, walking off to find him.

"I'll come too, Ash!" Bonnie called as she chased after him.

"B-Be careful, Bonnie!" Clemont panicked slightly.

"No need to worry, Clemont." I reassured him. "Ash, Pikachu and Dedenne are with her, she'll be okay."

"Okay." Clemont sighed, still looking worried.

"Y'know, I actually found two other trainers earlier, I think they're inside. Would you like to meet them?" Penelope asked.

"That would be great! Thanks Penelope!" I thanked her as we followed her into the house.

The room we walked into was filled with pictures and kids books, and the walls were filled to the brim with colourful pictures. Plus there were BEANBAGS for chairs! It was awesome!

There were two trainers sitting there. One looked about 15 at around 5'3. He had brown spiky hair in a weird style and a caucasian complex, plus blue eyes. He was wearing a graphic t-shirt and blue denim jeans to cover a lean muscle build, plus a black overcoat with a Lucario on the back of it. He also wore a red official Pokemon League baseball cap and fingerless black gloves.

The second person was a girl who only looked about 11! She had long blonde hair and deep brown eyes, and was wearing a yellow shirt with blue denim jeans like the other guys. Cradled in her arms was an egg.

"These trainers are called Victor and Soul." Penelope explained.

"Cool! It's nice to meet you! I'm Elliot, and this is my partner, Froakie." I greeted them.

"Froak!" Froakie also greeted them.

Victor stood up. "Nice to meet you, I guess as you know, I'm Victor!"

"Hello there Victor, I'm Clemont." Clemont greeted him.

"And I'm Serena, it's very nice to meet you." Serena said.

For some reason, he blushed. "W-Well it's g-good to meet you too S-Serena..."

The girl, Soul, picked herself up and walked over. "Don't mind him, he can't talk to a girl without stuttering to save his life."

"D-Don't tell them that!" Victor said, flustered.

"Anyway, as you know, I'm Soul, it's great to meet you!" She said.

We made introductions once again as we sat down on the beanbags. "So where are your pokemon?" Clemont asked.

Victor really relaxed into his chair. "Don't worry, she's not too far away. Grace? Are you there?" Just then a Kirlia walked over. "Grace, these are my new friends. Everyone, this is Grace, the best partner ever." Despite the overexaggeration I got out my Pokedex.

'Kirlia, the Emotion Pokemon. It can harness its trainers happy spirit to strengthen its psychokinetic powers, it dances around when happy.'

"Wow, I didn't expect you to have a Kirlia." I admitted.

Victor waved a hand dismissively. "That's what they all say. I've had Grace ever since she was a Ralts."

"I'll show you my pokemon as well!" Soul said happily. "Guys! Come on over here!"

How ironic. Her two pokemon were a Pikachu with a heart-shaped tail with a pink bow around it, and a Meowth with a blue bow around its neck.

"Pikapika!"

"Meowth!" The two pokemon greeted us. As I petted the Meowth I was pretty sure I preferred regular ones to talking ones.

Then the door opened and Ash, Bonnie and Randall walked in. "See? These are our friends, you don't have to be scared." Ash told him.

The look of fear in Randall's eyes said otherwise. "But pokemon are scary!" He said, trying to hide behind Ash's leg.

"He's still afraid of pokemon?" Serena asked sadly.

"Yeah." Ash nodded. "We tried introducing him to Pikachu, Froakie and Dedenne, but no luck."

"Randall's problem is pretty deep." Penelope explained. "Your going to have to go about this carefully."

Ash nodded. "Your right..."

OCXY

Soon afterwards, Team Rocket were causing trouble for our 'heroes' again. As they were putting Ash's Pikachu and Penelope's Sylveon in a truck, Soul's Meowth walked over to the Team Rocket one. "Nyarth?" He asked.

Team Rocket Meowth jumped. "Ack! When did you get there!?"

Soul's Meowth tilted its head. "Nyar?"

"Nothing! It's none of ya business!"

"Nyar...Meowth!"

"Oh, so now I'M da hypocrite? Who are ya anyway!?"

"Nyaaaaarth."

"Some kid named Soul? So, she's ya trainer then."

"Meowth."

"Listen, why not ditch her and come work for Team Rocket? It's not such a bad life, we get to work for da boss!"

"...Nyar?"

"Wha-? No we don't have hot-dogs every Saturday! What do we look like? A restaraunt?"

"Meowth."

"Just because the uniforms are white doesn't mean we're-Gah! What am I doin!? We gotta get da twerps pokemon outta here!" He then jumped into the van and pointed at the fellow Meowth. "You've made a big mistake pal! You've made an enemy for life!" And so the van drove off, with Ash clinging to the back of it.

"...Meowth." The pokemon said, going back to its trainer to clean itself, and not really giving a damn on what the Meowth had just told it.

OCXY

The principle handed me, Froakie, Victor and Soul some hot chocolate, the best thing she could offer us. But trust me, nobody was complaining.

We all sipped our drinks as we talked. "So you have two Gym Badges as well, Victor?" I asked.

"Yep! I'm aiming for my third one pretty soon." He beamed.

Soul rolled her eyes. "I've only got one, but I don't mind, we'll catch up in no time!"

"So, why are you carrying that egg?" I questioned her out of curiosity.

Soul smiled down at her egg. "A trainer gave it to me, he said it was because my Pikachu and Meowth looked so happy."

'Reminds me of Chimchar.' I thought, looking at the fire type play with kids toys with a giant smile on his face.

Suddenly a young boy burst through the door. "Principle! Sylveon and that Pikachu got tooken!"

Ignoring his incorrect pronounciation I spat out the contents of my mouth in shock. "What!?"

"Froak!?" Froakie copied me as we all ran outside to find Serena, Bonnie, Clemont and Penelope all getting in a car.

"What's going on?" I asked frantically.

"Team Rocket took Pikachu, Sylveon, Froakie and Ash away!" Clemont explained in a hurry.

"And we think they took Randall as well!" Penelope added.

Those guys AGAIN!? Why do they keep doing this!? Why can't they get on with their lives!? "Let me come too!" I called.

"Hey! Don't forget about us!" Victor yelled.

Penelope turned to us. "I'm sorry, but there's not enough room. All I can ask is that you take care of the children, please?"

Victors face flushed red. "O-Of course P-Penelope! We'll do our b-best!" Well, at least he's nice.

"Thank you, it really means a lot." She finished as she got in the car.

"Bonnie and Dedenne are coming, Ash and Pikachu and Froakie!" Bonnie shouted.

"Dedenne Denne!" Dedenne copied her as the car sped away.

The four of us then turned to the principle and the large group of kids.

"We're doomed." Soul mumbled.

OCXY

Us Trainers plus Froakie sat down in a circle as Victor's Grace used her psychic powers to 'catch' and 'throw' a ball for the children. The other pokemon just chased after them.

"We're gonna be stuck here forever." Soul grimaced.

"Don't talk about it like it's a prison." I sweatdropped.

Victor stretched his arms and layed in the grass. "Well, might as well make the most of it." He closed his eyes and just let the cool breeze brush his face.

I felt something tug at my sleeve, and I turned to see a boy standing there. "Mr Vanette, are Penelope and the others going to be okay?"

The principle had told us that we should give our second names to the children to use, I liked it, made me sound important. I smiled at him. "Of course! Ash is going to rescue the pokemon no problem!"

The boy smiled. "Okay, Mr Vanette!" He cheered as he ran off.

"Wow, you seem pretty good around kids." Victor chuckled.

"Well, he does seem very nice." Soul said with a smile.

"I guess it could be because I'm a little brother." I thought aloud, to which Froakie nodded.

Then the kids, our pokemon and the principle walked over. "I'm sorry to disturb you dears, but the children want to play a game with you." The principle explained.

"Okay, what do you guys wanna play?" Soul asked.

The children began shouting out random things as Victor sat up. "Hey! Calm down!" The children were silenced. "Let's take a vote, one at a time."

The children voted for a large number of activities, but dress-up came up trumps. "Don't expect me to wear a giant dress." Soul said as we walked inside.

We found several chests containing different costumes, which we all rummaged through to find the best ones. I eventually found a cool looking one that had a blue cape and an awesome looking hat, which I threw on. "Hey guys! Whaddya think?" I said to my pokemon.

They all nodded and said their own names in agreement. Froakie was wearing a cowboy hat and a stick on Sheriff's badge, Spewpa had a pink tiara on and Chimchar was wearing an adorable little knight outfit, complete with sword, shield and visor.

Victor was wearing some kind of red and black superhero costume with a mask, kinda reminded me of Clemont and Bonnie's dad (a.k.a Blaziken Mask.). "Yeah, this seems pretty cool." He said to himself as Grace wore a long, flowing gown and sunglasses.

Soul had kinda run out of options, but settled on a nurse outfit so she could use the stethoscope to check up on her egg. Her Pikachu was wearing a little dress while her Meowth wore a Poochyena costume, why, I have no idea.

Us and the children did a few mini plays. "Hey! Why do I have to play the villain?" I complained at one point.

"Because you've been the hero FIVE times!" Soul argued. We all just laughed, to be honest, I was having fun.

Eventually we all sat down again, still wearing our costumes. "Hey kids, why don't you tell us your favourite type of pokemon?" Victor suggested.

"Water!" One girl yelled, to which Froakie puffed out his chest with a smile.

"Fire!" A boy shouted. Chimchar danced with joy.

"Psychic!" Grace blushed at the compliment.

There were suggestions all around, but me and Spewpa noticed something. "Hey, why did none of you say Bug-Types?" I said.

The children looked between themselves. "Well...aren't Bug-Types all...icky and gross?" A girl said.

"My big brother told me that Bug-Types were really weak." Another boy said.

Spewpa's eyes fell in sadness as I knelt down and comforted her. "Well, none of those things are true." I told them. "Bug-Types can be strong, fast...and beautiful." Spewpa looked up at me with a smile.

"Really?" A girl asked.

I nodded. "Yeah!...Hey, in fact, why don't we all do a bit of Bug-Type bonding?"

"Yeeeaaahhh!" All the kids cheered as we stood up.

"Your friend has such a way with children." I heard the principle say.

"Yeah, looks like he does." Victor chuckled as he and Soul followed after us.

We eventually came to a large group of trees. "Now, the best way to bond with a Bug-Type is to act like one. So we're all gonna disguise ourselves using leaves!"

The children nodded as all of us (Plus Spewpa) began gathering leaves to cover ourselves with. "Where did you get an idea like this, Elliot?" Victor asked.

I smiled. "My Sis would always do stuff like this with me when I was little, so I just kinda remember them."

Eventually we were all little or big mounds of leaves with eyes. "A lot of Bug-Types do this to keep warm in winter." I explained.

"Spew!" Spewpa nodded. When suddenly her leaves fell away as she started glowing blue.

"Spewpa!" I gasped as I shook of my leaf disguise.

"W-What's happening to Spewpa?" A girl asked as the rest of them shook of their disguises. Spewpa's 'coat' unfolded and spread out into a giant pair of wings as he body thinned down and two antenne grew out of her head. Soon the light burst and, a Vivillon was in front of us.

"Vivillon!" She called out her new name in a graceful voice.

"Spewpa! You evolved into Vivillon!" I cried as she happily flew into my arms.

"Woooow!" All of the children gathered round me and Vivillon.

"Vivillon's soooo pretty!" A girl squealed.

"I wanna get a Vivillon when I grow up!" Another girl said.

Vivillon nodded. She then flew up a bit before her antenne started to glow. "Vivillooooon!" She cried as she fired a rainbow beam at the ground a bit away, causing an explosion.

"You've learned Psybeam as well!" I cheered as she settled down back on my head.

"Vivillon's so coooool!" All the children cheered as they continued to crowd us.

I then picked Vivilon off my head and looked at her. "Huh...that's weird..."

"What is?" Soul asked as she and Victor walked over.

"Well, I predicted that Vivillon would be a Garden Pattern when she evolved, but I've never seen a pattern like this before."

Vivillon's wing pattern was a white background with light green on the edges, and on the upper part of her wings was what looked like red and purple pixilated flowers.

"Sis told me all the Vivillon patterns there is, but I've never even been told about this one." I explained.

"...Wow, Elliot, your Vivillon could be one of a kind!" Victor said.

I looked at Vivillon. "One of a kind, huh...?"

"Froak..." Froakie also mused.

"Vivillon?" Vivillon was curious as well.

We all walked back to the kindergarten when Soul had an idea. "I've got it! Elliot! Let's have a battle!"

I raised an eyebrow. "A battle?"

"Yeah, I'm sure the kids would want to see a real pokemon battle, right kids?" Soul asked them, to which they all cheered.

"Okay! Your on!" I nodded.

"Pikachu! Meowth!" She called to her pokemon who both ran in front of her.

I raised an eyebrow. "Two at once? A Double Battle?"

She shrugged. "Yeah, is something wrong?"

"No, it's just that this will be my first Double Battle." I looked at the pokemon on my shoulder. "Okay Froakie, since this is my first Double Battle, your choice number one, no doubt!"

"Froakfroakfroak Frooooak!" Froakie chanted with a mock salute, throwing off his hat and badge to jump onto the battlefield.

"And number two will be you, Chimchar!" Unfortunately there was a problem. "Chimchar, you have to take the knight costume off to fight."

"Chim..." He said sadly, clutching the costume as if it was a second skin.

I sighed. "okay, but you'll miss out.,.."

"Chim!?" Chimchar said as he hurriedly threw off the costume and ran next to Froakie.

Vivillon flew over and perched on my head. "Do you wanna stay on my head, Vivillon?" I asked, to which she nodded. "Make yourself comfortable, we'll win!"

Victor stepped forward. "I'll referee! First person to have both of their pokemon faint loses!"

The kids all cheered as the principle smiled. "Good luck to both of you." She nodded.

"Alright! Begin!"

Elliot's first Double Battle!

Soul and Pikachu+Meowth VS. Elliot and Froakie+Chimchar

"Since this is your first Double Battle Elliot, you can go first." Soul offered.

I smiled. "Thanks! Froakie use Bubble, and Chimchar, use Ember!"

"Froooakiiiie!"

"Chimchaaaar!" Both of my pokemon blew their respective attacks at the two pokemon.

Soul just smiled. "Pikachu, Meowth, both of you use Thunderbolt!"

"Piiikachuuuuuuu!"

"Meeeeeeowth!" Both pokemon charged and launched yellow electricity bolts, overpowering the weaker attacks and shocking both of my pokemon.

"Froakie! Chimchar!" I cried in shock as they fell out to my feet. They both groaned loudly, Chimchar managed to stand up but Froakie was having a bit of trouble due to the bigger amount of damage.

"Chim..." Chimchar said with a worried expression as he tried to comfort Froakie.

"Chimchar! Use Flame charge on Pikachu to protect Froakie!" I called.

"Chim! Chim! Chim chim chimchimchimchimchimchimchimCHAAAAAR!" Chimchar cried as he stomped the ground to pick up dust until he shot forward in a trail of fire.

"Meowth, use Protect to shield Pikachu!"

"MeOWTH!" Said pokemon cried as it leaped in front of Pikachu and put up a green shield which Chimchar bounced harmlessly off of.

'Man, they're good...' I thought in distress.

"Okay Pikachu! Use Play Nice!"

"Chuuu!" Pikachu cried as it leaped towards Chimchar and...held hands with it? "Pika! Pika!" Pikachu cheered as she and Chimchar danced together, both of them glowing with a yellow aura before Pikachu ran back, leaving Chimchar looking upset.

Froakie hopped back over to Chimchar's side. "Froak!" He called out with confidence.

"Both of you use Thunderbolt again!"

"Both of you dodge!"

As the opponents fired yellow bolts again, Froakie leaped back to dodge Meowth's, but Chimchar was hit with Pikachu's straight on!

"Chimchar!" I called in shock as he was thrown back with teary eyes.

"Froakie! Froak, Froak!" Froakie said at Chimchar.

"Chim..." He said sadly.

'Why didn't Chimchar dodge?' I thought for a second before I realized something. "It was that move wasn't it? Play Nice?"

Soul nodded. "You got it, Elliot. Play Nice establishes a relationship between two pokemon, making them lose their will to attack their new friend."

I gritted my teeth as I looked at Chimchar. "If that's how it is, then we'll switch! Froakie, you take Pikachu and Chimchar you take Meowth!"

Both pokemon nodded and switched positions, with Chimchar looking much more battle ready.

"Okay then! Chimchar, use Thunderpunch, and Froakie, you use Quick Attack!"

Both of my pokemon charged forward, one glowing white and one with a yellow, crackling fist. "Meowth, use Protect again!" Once more Meowth leaped in front of Pikachu and protected them both with its green shiled. "Now! Meowth, use Fury Swipes on Froakie! And Pikachu, use Iron Tail on Chimchar!"

"Meowth!" The blue ribbon wearer yelled as its claws lengthened.

"Pikachu!" The pink ribbon wearer yelled as its tail glowed white.

"Froakie use Water Pulse, and Chimchar use Scratch!"

"FroooooaKIE!" Froakie yelled as it created and threw a watery orb straight at Meowth, knocking it back.

"Chim..." Chimchar couldn't attack its new friend, so it just let itself get hit by the Iron Tail.

"Froakie! Froakie Froak Froakie!" Said pokemon was trying to talk some sense into the fire-type. Who was unresponsive.

"Okay, both of you use Thunderbolt again!" Both pokemon released powerful volts from there bodies.

"Froakie! Chimchar! Look out!" I yelled at them. Froakie gasped as he selflessly grabbed Chimchar and jumped away, but the shock still hit him bad in the side.

"Froak!" He yelled as he fell down with a steaming and crackling side.

"Chimchar!" The fire starter exclaimed in shock.

"We got 'em! Pikachu, use Quick Attack!"

"Piiiikachu!" Pikachu yelled as it zipped towards Chimchar and Froakie.

"Chimchar! You have to protect Froakie!" I called to him.

"...Chim." Chimchar nodded as he turned to the approaching electric-type.

"Knock it back with Scratch!"

"Chim...CHAR!" He yelled as he slashed Pikachu with his right hand, knocking it back.

"What!?" Soul said in disbelief. "But, Play Nice should have stopped Chimchar's will to fight Pikachu!"

"Yeah, but Froakie comes before Pikachu in Chimchar's books." I explained as Chimchar and Froakie shared a fist bump. "Now! Froakie use Bubble and Chimchar use Ember on each other!"

"HUH!?" Everyone yelled. But my two pokemon didn't hesitate as they attacked each other, the two attacks cancelling each other out in a heavy burst of steam.

"Damn it! I can't see!" Soul complained, when suddenly two figures could be seen in the smoke! "Double Thunderbolt!"

The two pokemon fired once again, but they only hit two Frubble clones. "Th-They were fake!?" She gasped.

"Look above you!" I laughed as Froakie and Chimchar were high in the air above Pikachu and Meowth! "Flame Charge and Water Pulse!"

"Frooooakie!"

"Chiiiimchar!" The two pokemon launched their attacks downwards, creating a massive explosion. When it cleared, Froakie and Chimchar were standing back to back with crossed arms and smirks on their faces, Pikachu and Meowth lying with swirled eyes at their feet.

"Pikachu and Meowth are unable to battle! Froakie and Chimchar are the winners!" Victor announced at everyone cheered, the children quickly swamping the four pokemon.

"Well, we lost, fair and square." Soul sighed. "Great battle anyway."

I nodded. "Yeah! It was great fun!"

The principle walked over. "I could easily see how all your pokemon were fighting with everything they had to make you, they're trainers happy. You're BOTH very good trainers."

"Well done, everyone!" All the children cheered.

Just then a familiar looking car turned up, with Penelope stepping out. "Hello! We're back!"

"PENELOPE!" All the children cheered as they swarmed her as well. Ash, Pikachu, Serena, Bonnie, Dedenne, Clemont and Randall all got out of the car.

"We did it!" Ash cheered along with Pikachu as Penelope's Sylveon also hopped out.

"It's really nice to meet you!" Randall instantly greeted Froakie and Chimchar, who waved in response. It looked like he had got over his fear.

Serena then looked at me with sparkling eyes. "Wow! Elliot! What are you wearing!?"

"Huh?" I was confused for a second before I realized I was still wearing my costume. "Oh, er...we played dress-up." I said with a sweatdrop.

Bolnnie ran over and noticed Vivillon on my head. "Wow! Spewpa evolved!"

"Yep." I nodded as she fluttered next to me.

"What a beautiful pattern." Clemont noted as he adjusted his glasses at her.

Suddenly, we all heard Soul squeal. "My egg! It's hatching!" We all looked at each other before rushing over to see Soul's egg glow yellow before reforming into a brown and furry pokemon.

"Eevee!" It cried.

"Oh my Arceus! An Eevee!" Soul cheered as she cradled the new born in her arms, with her Pikachua nd Meowth crowding around her and smiling.

All of us just smiled at the touching scene.

OCXY

Soon we were all standing in front of the kindergarten in the settinbg sun.

"Elliot, Soul, Victor. I just want to thank you, the children won't stop talking about how much of a fun day they had!" Penelope smiled.

"No problem! It was fun hanging out with them!" I nodded.

"Froak!" Froakie agreed.

"Ash!" Randall cheered. "I'm gonna be a pokemon trainer as well when I grow up!"

Ash nodded. "Great! Let's battle soon then!"

"Yep!" Randall nodded with a smile.

Then our group turned to Victor and Soul. "So you guys are heading off as well?" Ash asked.

Victor nodded. "Yeah, gotta get my next Gym Badge after all!"

Soul smiled. "And I've decided that I'm gonna keep him out of trouble for a bit!"

"Evvee!" Evee agreed.

Victor blushed. "W-What? D-Did we agree on that?"

Soul poked him between his eyes. "No time to argue! But see you guys again soon!"

"Good luck on your journey." Serena nodded.

Ash and Soul's Pikachu's shared a friendly electrical cheek sparks to bid each other farewell. We had all handed in our dress-up clothes as I thought about them. "Hey Penelope?" I asked.

"Hm? Yes Elliot?" She asked.

"That costume I was wearing, do you know what it was?"

She thought for a second. "I believe...that that was an Aura Guardian outfit."

I had heard of Aura Guardians in stories and stuff, but I didn't think they dressed like that! "Really?"

She smiled. "Yep. I think it suited you." She said with a wink.

We all then turned and started walking. "Bye everyone!" We all called. To which Victor, Soul, Penelope, Sylveon, Randall, the principle and all the children happily replied.

We hadn't been walking for long before we set up camp. (Serena agreed to set up camp! You have no idea how big of a deal that is!) As we sat around a campfire, our pokemon all eating, and Clemont spoke up. "Hey, Elliot."

I turned to him. "Yeah?"

"You know you said you wanted to contact Viola?"

I HAD said that I'd wanted to call Viola to ask about Vivillon's pattern, but there was no phone at the kindergarten. "...Yeah?"

He pushed his glasses up so that they shined as he smiled. "The future is bright thanks to science!" He shouted as he suddenly got at a large square TV. "Behold! The Video Clemone! Perfect for on the go video calls!"

I was a bit skeptical of using it. Clemont's Clemontic Gears had a habit of...going terribly terribly wrong. But I decided to trust his better judgement and typed in Viola's number. It run for a bit before Viola picked up. "Oh, hi little brother!" She said as she came onto the screen. "How's your journey going?"

"Great, thanks Viola!" I cheered.

Everyone started pushing their way in. "hey again, Viola!" Ash called with Pikachu's cry.

"It's so nice to meet you again!" Serena called.

"Helloooo Violaaaa! Have you thought about marrying Clemont?" Bonnie called.

"B-Bonnie! I thought we were over this!" Clemont panicked as I gave him an evil glare.

Viola just laughed and greeted them all as I pushed my way to the front. "Listen, I'm phoning to ask you something about my Vivillon."

She beamed and clapped her hands together. "So your little Scatterbug evolved! I'm so proud of you Elliot!"

"Yeah but, I want to ask you about her pattern."

Viola looked at me. "I thought I taught you all the patterns."

"I know, I know, Just take a look. Vivillon!"

Vivillon flew over and perched on my shoulder and spread her wings. "Vi! Vivillon!" She re-greeted Viola.

Viola's eyes suddenly grew to the size of saucers. "Oh...my...GOSH!" She suddenly squished her face RIGHT UP against the screen, I recoiled in shock from the sudden action. "Elliot! Vivillon has the Fancy Pattern!"

I raised an eyebrow. "Fancy Pattern? I've never heard of it."

She continued to squish her face against the screen. "Elliot, the Fancy Pattern is the rarest of the rarest of the rare in the Vivillon patterns! The chance of a Vivillon having a Fancy Pattern are 16,407,286 to one!"

My eyes widened as well. "Vivillon's pattern is really that rare?"

"Wow! Vivillon's super duper special!" Bonnie cheered.

"I never thought that this beautiful pattern would be so special." Serena breathed.

"Elliot! You HAVE to send Vivillon over here some time so I can take some photos of her! Pleeease!" She practically begged.

"Well, we'll see, Vivillon's part of the team after all." I nodded as Vivillon wrapped her special wings around my arm.

"Okay, okay." Viola sighed, more to calm herself then anyone else. "Just keep having fun on your journey, right?"

I smiled. "Right."

"Well, I'd better get going, I love you little brother!"

I furiously blushed. "S-Sis! I'm with my friends!"

"Elliot looks just like Victor!" Bonnie laughed. I meanwhile, sighed as I waved to Viola before turning off the Video Clemone.

"Wow, so Vivillon's the Fancy Pattern." Ash smirked.

"You really are special, Vivillon!" Serena smiled.

"Yeah, but the main thing is that she's my friend." I nodded as she hugged me with her wings. "And Clemont! This Clemontic Gear works really well!"

Clemont puffed out his chest as he patted the invention. "Yep, I think I've worked all the kinks out on this one." Suddenly the box began sparking and furiously giving of smoke as it jerked and jumped around, building up more and more electrical power.

"...Oops." Was all Clemont could say before the device exploded.

Next Time: The gang shelter in a house for the night to avoid a heavy storm, where Bonnie and Elliot befriend a lonely Espurr. However, all is not as it seems, for all of Elliot's pokemon have been separated in the giant mansion. And a second pokemon is watching them...it is dark, cruel, and angry...and it wants everyone to stay OUT!

Finally! It's a new chapter! I deeply apologise for the wait, guys, I hope this makes up for it! I just want to say thank you for reading and reviewing this story, it's major support for me, thank you all!

I had to make Elliot's Vivillon Fancy Pattern, it just looks so cool! Please don't hate me. By the way, in terms of OC's, Soul belongs to pokemon4ever, and Victor belongs to Wildlian

Also, to NodokaLover, I plan to make your OC appear in either Chapter 11 or Chapter 12, so try and be patient. Similarly, I DO plan to use all OC's AT SOME POINT. Don't panic.

Thanks again for reading and waiting patiently for the next chapter! Now to sign us off it's Bonnie!

Bonnie: Everyone, get pokemon! And keep them too!
