This is a fun chapter. I was inspired by a paper cutout. Don't ask about the cutout. It's mine.

Barbecute yawned. She stayed up late last night, and she was sleepy. Better wash my face in the river, then get some breakfast. She looked around the small den. Looks like Pickle is already out and about.

Seeing the bright sunlight pierce her cave door, Barbecute wandered outside, only to see the sun shining brightly. It looked like another beautiful day. Barbecute raced towards the river, where she saw a reflection in the large body of water. It looked like her, but more macho and cool.

She turned to see a male Typhlosion next to her, smiling. His chocolate brown eyes were shining, and his fur was nice, but it looked ruffled and wild; a twig was sticking out from behing his ear. "H-hello there." she managed to say. "Hi. My name is Daniel. Yours?"

"B-barbecute. You look v-very wild and energetic." she stuttered.

"Thanks Barbe. You're not half bad yourself!"

But at this point, Barbecute dunked her head in, hoping to hide her blush. He's so handsome! I think I'm in love!

"Are you okay?" Daniel asked, as she had been under for a while. She pulled her head up, and mumbled a weak "Yeah, I'm fine." before scurrying away, hoping that she was dreaming.


Daniel was confused. He liked Barbe, but she ran away from him.

I didn't have a chance with her from the start! I'm so stupid!

The young and newly evolved Typhlosion walked away sadly back to his den, his heart broken.


Pickle was confused as well. Barbecute told him about the cute Typhlosion by the river.

"Why would you run from him if you love him?" he asked.

"'Cause what if he already has a mate? Then what?" Barbecute replied.

Pickle didn't have an answer. He didn't like how sad she was, but what could he do? Then it hit him.

"Do the berry offering. Offer him an Oran Berry, and a Tamato Berry. If he's free, he'll eat the Oran Berry, and if not, he'll eat the Tamato Berry." It was the oldest trick in the book. Everyone knew about Berry offerings.

"Okay, thanks Pick!" she called out as she ran to find some Berries. Pickle sighed. She didn't even know where the trees were.


Barbecute walked towards the river, and saw the Typhlosion again. He looked as good as before, but sorta sad.

"Hello Daniel. Listen, I have two Berries, a Tamato and an Oran Berry. Want one?" she asked cautiously, her heart racing. He smiled at her, and a spark was in his eyes.

"I think I want the Oran Berry, they're sweeter. Tamato Berries are spicy." he replied.

"Oh, okay then." she said. Barbecute looked put-out.

Daniel looked really confused now. He knew that Oran Berries in an offering meant you were free, so why was she so sad?

"I'll leave then." Barbecute whispered.

"You do know that Orans are open and Tamatos are mates, right?" Daniel questioned.

"Yeah, and I really like you, but if you like Oran Berries, and I like Oran Berries, then our relationship won't work!"

Dear Arceus this is a complex girl. And her fur looks so soft!

"Why won't it work?" Daniel sighed.

"Because then I have to share!" the silly Typhlosion said, full of life.

Daniel facepalmed. Barbecute walked up to him and patted his back. "It's okay. We can work it out." she smiled.


Pickle saw Barbecute walk closer and closer to the cave. She looked sort of rugged,and her fur was a mess!

"Barbecute! You're home! So, how did it go?" Pickle asked.

Barbecute shook her head. "I'm not Barbe, I'm Daniel. Nice to meet you Pickle!"

"Wait for me!" the real Barbecute ran towards the den, and tackled her new mate.

Daniel twisted his back, and she fell onto her back. Hethen picked her up, and carried her inside, bridal style. Pickle sighed. They are so cute together. Maybe I should find a mate? Nah, I'm good.


So here's the third chapter of the Barbecute Chronicles. I'm definetly not done with Pickle, Pod, Daniel, and of course, Barbecute, so keep reading, and I'll update again soon!

See ya, Ty8 & Barbecute
