I gotz Pokemon Rangers: Guardian Signs if anyone's interested :)
Sorry for extremely long wait. Basically I forgot about this for MONTHS. When I opened this back it, it was an EMPTY sheet of blankness, and I freaked and didn't want to write. But then I remembered that I promised my friend an update SO HERE IT IS! *growls from frustration*
No funny notes for you guys today. Brain too fried to think of any =_=
Disclaimer: If I were the owner of Pokemon, it wouldn't be as famous as it is now. Is it famous? If it is, then I'm not the owner =_=
"I… I can't believe it!" Kaatrina hissed through her walkie-talkie-like-headphones-and/or-earpiece-thingy. The scene unfolding in front of us was….impossible.
"You better believe it," I deadpanned back, squashing the thoughts of "impossible." A wise dude once said that nothing was impossible. It just depended on how much you were willing to sacrifice. "It's so obvious that even two horny rabbits on crack while humping each other would've seen it."
I could feel the glare Kat was sending me. She had left her post and was stealthily making her way over to us, leaving Justin and Jossie alone. Not that they noticed. Jossie was too busy trying to seduce Justin, and Justin was too busy ignoring our sarcastic comments.
"So what now?" I heard Kevin ask Armelion. This plan was ultimately up to him, and if he wanted to call it off, the rest of us would charge into the scene and kick some ass. Kick some metaphorical ass, I mean. Or we could just kick some rocks.
"Let's just see how this turns out…" he mumbled back. I could hear the shaky tremor in his voice, and I bet everyone else could hear it too.
Seconds passed into minutes, and minutes passed into hours. The four of us that were in hiding were slowly falling asleep. Well, not really asleep, but just growing tired of waiting. Some few hours ago, we had started making jokes, but then even that subsided.
A few more minutes passed in monotony.
"I am so fucking bored," I hissed in annoyance through the walkie-talkie thing. I wanted nothing more than to burst out there and start SOMEthing! But this plan was Armelion's, and I didn't want to ruin it for him (even though everything was so obvious now). I gave a sigh and turned to face our "commander."
To my surprise, his shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, and his face was hidden under his bangs. Since we were all sort of spread out/looking from different angles, I didn't think that anyone else had noticed yet.
I silently and stealthily made my way over to Armelion and turned my walkie-talkie off.
I snuck up behind him, and I could hear his quiet little gasps of breath. Only then did it hit me how important this was to him. This was his "turning moment" in life…the moment where he decided whether or not to give up and start again, or keep going despite the obvious trouble he would receive. He had to do this alone; no one could help him this time. It was his call, the ball was in his court, it was his turn. All we could do, as his friends, was to stay and help him pick up the pieces of whatever gets left over.
Surprising him slightly, I gave him a hug from behind.
"We'll be with you," I whispered, answering his unspoken question, "no matter what you do."
He gave me a shaky nod in response. "I know."
I rested my head on his back and listened as his breathing slowly calmed down.
"So the plan is a fail." Armelion sighed as he rested his head on the table in the Pokemon Center. It was late at night, and he called "an emergency meeting" of everyone but Jossie and Justin, since those two were sleeping in the same room. Armelion bunked with Kevin instead when Jossie wouldn't let him into their room.
I yawned. I was dead-ass tired, and Armelion calling a meeting at 4:30 in the morning was NOT helping my mood. Hell, even if he's the best companion anyone could have, waking me up this early was not something I'd be doing on a regular basis.
I put on some music from my ipod to keep myself awake.
"Don't Mess with Me" by Temposhark instantly started playing through my headphones. The deep, orchestral sound kept me awake-yet-drowsy.
"…another try?" Kaatrina was just finishing her comment when I snapped back into reality.
Kevin shook his head. "No. We don't need to do any more of these…missions. It's obvious that Jossie is not interested in going back to Armelion, or she just doesn't care about him anymore." He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
I sighed. Much as I loved that shithead, he sure knew when to be blunt.
I gave him a light kick under the table; gentle enough to wake him up but hard enough to alert him to my presence.
"What?" he hissed to me.
I shook my head and tsk'd him. "Let's not-," I paused, my throat slightly scratchy. I coughed and tried again. "Let's not be hasty. She might just be defending herself…ya know?" I made a gesture with my hands sleepily.
"No," Kaatrina replied. "Explain."
I sighed and turned the volume of my music down. "Basically, it's called insecurity. From my slight feminine experience, I'm assuming that Jossie felt threatened by the fact that Armelion could have been cheating on her, and she didn't realize it until that night. I guess this is her self-defense mechanism; to draw herself away from him until she was sure that he couldn't hurt her anymore."
I turned the volume back up just in time to hear the lyrics, "Show me sex appeal; get on your hands and knees."
…ah, how fitting.
Kevin opened his mouth to say something, but I had already tuned out by then. I shifted in my seat, slouched down a bit, scrolled through the contacts on the iPod, and sent a text to Kevin using the Pokemon Center's wi-fi.
Me: I wanna sleep .
I heard the vibration in Kevin's pocket, and I noticed him take out his phone and type out a reply before going back to what he was saying.
Kevin: sucks for you
I grinned and replied back quickly; Kaatrina had started speaking.
Me: I have a very nice view of your legs from here ;)
Kevin: i dont want to reply to that
Me: Close your legs, slut ;)
I looked up to see Kevin glare at me. However, he DID shut his legs that were slightly apart.
Kevin: stop looking there whore
Me: Damn right I'm a whore. YOUR whore.
Kevin: i dont want you as my whore
Me: Is my Kevin rejecting me? :'(
Kevin: fuck off
Me: Such harsh language! :O
After that message, Kevin stopped replying and acted as if nothing had happened.
Out of the blue, I laughed. Kaatrina jumped slightly and Armelion looked up at attention.
I shook my head. "I just discovered the fun in life again."
Kaatrina gave a mock-gasp. "Are you saying that life wasn't fun?"
I stopped and actually thought about it for a moment. "I discovered the fun in fun again. How's that?"
Kaatrina nodded in approval. "If being transported into the Pokemon world with a mysterious note isn't fun, then what is?"
I made a snap-second decision to reply to that comment. "Raping an innocent young girl in the middle of a snowstorm in a cave while freezing my fingers off."
Kaatrina choked, Armelion snapped awake, and Kevin muttered, "What was that about rape?"
I shrugged and replied to Kat pointedly, "You asked."
I slouched down even further and sent another text to Kevin.
Me: I know you want to rape that innocent girl, but please don't do it in a cave, okay? Rape her in an alley or something ^^"
Kevin gave a little hiss as he checked his messages again.
Kevin: shut the fuck up you pedo
Me: Don't be a hypocrite now ;)
Again, Kevin didn't reply to my message.
"Can we all go back to sleep now?" I asked in a bored manner. I honestly was tired, but I also wanted to go back onto the roof. I mean, I like roofs. Roofs are nice.
"Sure." Armelion stood up to leave. "Meeting adjourned. No action shall be continued due to the inefficiency of the group."
We all laughed.
Me: So how are you?
Armelion: Fine, I guess.
Me: No you're not. Stop lying.
Armelion: sigh
Me: I know you too well. What's our plan, Cap'ain?
Armelion: rofl
Armelion: I don't know
Aremlion: What do you think I should do?
Me: Fly :D
Armelion: rofl
Armelion: But seriously ._.
Me: I seriously have no clue.
Me: …why don't you just give up...?
Armelion: ….
Armelion: ….
Armelion: …..
Me: I'm serious. This is causing you nothing but pain, am I right?
Armelion: ….
Me: Say something damn you!
Armelion: Do you really think I should just give up?
Me: *nods* But that's just my forever-alone opinion.
Armelion: I see. Thanks. Goodnight.
Me: Goodnight; have fun rolling around in bed lol
Armelion: Yeah I will rofl
Kat: WTH!? WHERE R U!?
Me: Calm down lady! I'm on the roof, sheesh.
Kat: Y R U THERE?!
Me: Stop with the repeated signs. Gosh. And the capslock .
Kat: y r u on the roof
Me: 'cuz I'm bored. I'll be back, don't worry :)
Kat: watch out 4 rapists
Me: Haha, I will Princess X3
Kat: stfu
Me: KEVINNNNNNNNN :D
Kevin: what do you want?
Me: How's Armelion? *worried* D:
Kevin: none of your business
Me: …Tell me.
Kevin: no
Me: He's just as much of my friend as yours. Much as you hate me, I kindly request that you tell me so that I can help him with his problems.
Kevin: no
Me: You are a fucktard .
Kevin: so are you
Me: Go die in a hole .
Kevin: no thank you
Me: You suck
Kevin: not as much as you
I sighed and gave up. Kevin seriously hated my ass…
…in a metaphorical way, ya know. I mean, who can hate my ass?
…well, that's unimportant information for a later time. But the thing I wanted to know now was Armelion's current condition. It would be WAY too awkward (even for me) to ask Armelion directly (especially after what I suggested to him), so I was hoping that I'd be able to get some info from Kevin, who happened to be one of his closer friends.
Sadly, it seemed as if that dipshit still hated me.
…oh well.
Me: Still awake?
Kevin: no
Me: Oh okay. Have fun fapping.
Kevin: fuck you
Me: What time? ;)
I laughed silently and turned my iPod off, not waiting for a reply from Kevin. He probably just ignored me and went to bed anyways.
I sighed. Once I woke up, I could never get back to sleep… Why in the fiery depths of hell would Armelion call for a meeting at 4:30-something in the morning?
I reluctantly started my iPod again against my better judgment. As soon as it powered back up, I found that I had a new message from Kevin.
Kevin: im going up to the roof
I made an exaggerated gasp to myself. If that message was sent at 4:43 AM, and it was 4:45 AM at this exact moment, then Kevin should've gotten here by now…
I whipped my head around, not wanting a repeat of what happened before. Which was him sliding ice down my back. Thankfully, he wasn't there.
I gave a quick survey of the roof, and then made my way to the stairway leading back into the building.
It was getting too cold for my liking.
After I made my way back into the hotel room (without encountering Kevin, amazingly), heated up water for a cup of coffee, and snuggled under the covers, I rummaged through my ninja bag for something entertaining.
I don't know where I found my iPod, how it came here, or anything at all. All I knew is that exactly where it was, exactly where the headphones were (was in my ninja bag), and exactly where the charger is (also in the ninja bag of awesomeness).
A new message had been sent to my iPod.
Surprisingly, it was a text from my out-of-state friend.
Steven: Wakey wakey
A quick calculation in my head reminded me that he was three hours ahead. But how did time in the Pokemon world correspond with time in the real world? I shrugged and put that issue ahead.
Me: Goodmorning *yawn*
Steven: I haven't talked to you in days :'(
Me: Yeah, I'm in a problem right now.
Steven: what kind?
Me: The one where you're stuck somewhere and you have no way of getting out.
Steven: same here
Me: ?
Steven: I'm stuck in a house and I can't get out
Me: ….wuht.
Steven: I think you'll understand when you find me…
Me: I am seriously lost. What are you talkin' 'bout bro?
Steven: long story
Me: *shrug* Sure.
I sighed. There was no way I would be finding him soon.
I guess we'll just both be stuck in wherever we were…possibly forever?
That thought scared me.
Much as I loved my Shinx, much as I loved adventure, much as I loved spending time with my friends, a line had to be drawn somewhere. And that line was made when my "previous" life was concerned.
I sighed and sent a reluctant message to Steven.
Me: Where are you?
A light "ding" was made when the water finished heating for the coffee.
Ooooh, Steven actually plays an important part in this story ^_^
I'm not even going to make excuses/apologies. Just know I love you guys and I was hoping to be able to write earlier but I'm a procrastinator and I'm watching Sherlock Holmes right now and talking to about 5498431510 people online… Ahahaha… ^^"
I had quite some fun writing this!
Review, my loves!~~ *heart*
