CHAPTER SIX: The Room Next Door
…
"Hello and welcome to another episode of THE RANDOM ROOM!" Lopunny announced with flourish. She does everything with flourish.
"This ain't an episode, you Slowpoke. It's a CHAPTER." Umbreon corrected.
"Is 'Slowpoke' supposed to be an insult?" Ambipom frowned, confuzzled.
"KIT! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?! CONFUZZLED IS NOT A WORD!" Umbreon roared. Speaking of roaring, where have Charizard and Dragonite gone?
"Either into Nowhere or into the closet," Cyndaquil responded, frowning at the sentence above. "Those are the only possible places they could be, after all."
"Nuh-uh!" Piplup replied haughtily. "They could be in the Room Next Door!"
The entire Room went silent.
"True enough," Cyndaquil admitted.
More silence.
Silence is boring.
Very boring.
Silence… is… so… boring.
Why are we being silent again?
"Why are we being silent again?" Glaceon asked. Hey, wait a minute, you copied me! GLACEON! NOT AGAIN!
"We're playing the Quiet Game. You just lost." Chikorita told Glaceon.
"Um, so did you." Glaceon frowned.
Then Chikorita grabbed a polka-dot from out of Nowhere and slapped it onto Glaceon's face, which caused a high-pitched shriek from the Fresh Snow Pokémon, which caused all the other Pokémon to cover their ears, which caused the Pokémon from the Room Next Door to come over and – HEY WAIT A SECOND THERE ARE POKÉMON IN THE ROOM NEXT DOOR?!
"...Um, yes?" A small voice spoke up.
"Heeeeyy, is that a Kirlia?!" Ambipom's eyes widened. "She's BEAUTIFUL!"
"...Um, thanks." Kirlia frowned. "Uh... are you guys... okay...?"
Cyndaquil rolled her eyes. "No, of course we're not! Duh!"
Kirlia frowned. "Um, okay?" She looked over at Staravia. "Is that... a laptop?!"
Staravia looked up from trying to type without thumbs. Or fingers. Or hands. It's hard, let me tell you!
"Yeah," Staravia replied.
"Does it... have MINECRAFT?!" Kirlia gasped, her voice rising.
"I think so..." Staravia frowned.
"YUUUSSSS! MIIINNNEE!" Kirlia dive-bombed Staravia and grabbed the laptop. "MINE MINE MIIIIIINNNNEEEE!"
"Aaargh!" Staravia screeched as he was flung away by Kirlia. "Hey! HEY! MY LAPTOP!"
Kirlia laughed giddily. "My Minecraft!"
Charizard and Dragonite emerged from the Room Next Door. "Hey, you guys, that's a cool place in there!" Dragonite roared.
"YOU BET!" Charizard roared louder.
"THAT'S RIGHT!" Dragonite roared even LOUDER.
"Really? Cool!" Lopunny bounded over, followed by Staravia and Butterfree.
"LET'S MOVE THERE!" Staravia yelled, surprising everyone.
"YEAAAAAHHHHH!" Shouted Butterfree and Lopunny.
They packed their bags and were gone in a flash.
"...well, tha' was quick," Ambipom observed, still wearing his cool shades from Christmas, and now talking in an Australian accent. WHAT THE - !
"Hey, aye do wha' aye wan'!" Ambipom replied.
"MINECRAFT MINECRAFT MINECRAFT MINECRAFT MINECRAFT!" Kirlia sounded even more giddy than before as she made block stuff and killed block animals and obsessed over blocks.
Meanwhile, in the middle of Nowhere...
Our friend Togie was reading over the story. "Hey... Is that... an OC of mine?!" Then a random mallet belonging to our other friend Cyndaquil clocked her on the head.
"HEY! CYNDAQUIL I WARNED YOU ONCE!" Togie yelled, before slamming down on the post button on her laptop and posting hundreds of baby pictures of Cyndaquil onto every social media site, EVER.
Back in the Room...
"AAAGGGHHHH!" Cyndaquil screamed. She dashed over to the closet and locked herself in.
A picture popped up on Staravia's - I mean Kirlia's - laptop, and Kirlia snorted."THAT'S baby Cyndaquil?!"
"AAAGGGGHHHH!" Cyndaquil screamed from inside the closet.
"Hey," Umbreon suddenly spoke up. "Kirlia, do you ever plan on going back to the Room Next Door?"
"Nope!" Kirlia replied cheerfully. "And I think your friends Lopunny, Staravia, and Butterfree won't be coming back here either!"
There was a pause.
"Oh," Glaceon said simply.
"Oh," Chikorita said simply.
Oh my Heartless, we know something's up if Chikorita isn't shrieking or squealing in some way, shape, or form!
"Oh my Heartless?" Oshawott frowned. "What kind of an expression is that?"
"I dunno. Meloetta, do you think it's cool?" Piplup piped up.
"Yes," Meloetta replied. "Kingdom Hearts is a great game!"
"I CHANGED MY MIND I LOVE THAT EXPRESSION!" Oshawott yelped.
"I LOVE IT MORE! KINGDOM HEARTS ROCKS! HEAR THAT, MELOETTA?!" Piplup yelped as well.
"...are those two okay?" Kirlia asked with a concerned frown.
"No," Glaceon replied truthfully. "But they never are... POLKA-DOTS!"
"They're never polka-dots?" Kirlia was even more confuzzled than before. "What in Arceus's name?!"
"KIT! CONFUZZLED IS NOT A WORD!"
Umbreon, be quiet. And, KIRLIA! LANGUAGE!
"...who was that?!" Kirlia seemed genuinely freaked out now.
"The author, also known as Kit." Umbreon sighed as he dragged his sister out of a pile of huge polka-dots. Waaaaaaaaiiiiiit, how did that pile get there in the first place?
"Polka-dots," Glaceon sighed happily.
"It was Glaceon's Christmas present," Umbreon sighed frustratedly. "And 'frustradedly' isn't a word either..."
STOP BEING MY ENGLISH TEACHER! ARGGGHHHH!
UMBREON used FRUSTRATION ATTACK!
KIT is now CONFUSED!
KIT fainted!
"Oh no," Ambipom groaned. "Somebody locate the nearest Author Center..."
...
Annabeth: Author Center?
Yeah! Like a Pokémon Center, but for authors...
Gary: If you say so. Hey, what's this? *holds up piece of paper*
Umm, I don't know, actually.
Link: It's the list of authors that we fainted and got sent to the Author Center.
Hey! Reevee21 is on here! *yells into a microphone hooked up to speakers in PC Box 15* SORRY, REEVS!
Cutemon: Anyway, Link... WHY IN ARCEUS'S NAME WOULD YOU WRITE A LIST LIKE THAT?!
Link: I've got the Triforce of Courage, I do what I want. :D
Cutemon: ...
Annabeth: ...
Gary: ...
...um...
Cutemon: ...hug a Pikachu?
NO! DON'T! *hears much screaming as all the readers are shocked by the hug-hating Pikachu* ...too late... whatever, please leave a revieeeeewwwww before you are carted off to the Author Center! I really appreciate it, just like I am sure you appreciate being shocked senseless by Pikachu! :3
