Easter time is here! Get ready for the yummy in-your-tummy gummy candies! Well, everyone knows chocolate is better. :P
Easter 2013
Pikachu
It was about four in the afternoon. The trainers had all gone their seperate ways to get tomorrow's party ready, except Iris. Of course, if the egg hunt is for the younger ones, Axew should be just as surprised as all the others. Besides, I'm not young anymore. I can help out if I want to. Ash and I volunteered to buy the plastic eggs. Cilan was going to buy and make the candy.
We entered through the automatic Pokemart doors. There were so many people there. We could barely even GET to the candy aisles. Yes, AISLES. There were ten aisles full of chocolate, gummies, hard candies... and basically any kind of candy you can think of. I was extremely surprised by this. I've never seen so many people at a Pokemart before!
"Ugh! There are too many people! We can't even get to the plastic eggs!... Hey, Pikachu," he started. "mind looking for the eggs for me? Maybe you can try to get some. We need about fifty eggs."
"Sure." I jump down and weave through the people's legs. I bumped into quite a few, and some nudged me back. I got kicked once, but I managed to crawl into the bottom shelf of the plastic eggs. I made my way through, searching all the boxes of assorted containers. This was fairly easy since people were constantly taking out boxes.
I found some twenty pack boxes. I was only able to hold one at a time, so I decided to take three trips. I grabbed one and padded my way through the crowd again.
Once I gave my trainer the box, I began my trek back. The last time through wasn't as hard since the people were clearing away from the shelves, trying to leave.
"Great work, buddy. Let's pay for these then head back to camp." I nodded my head.
When we left the shop, we found a stand advertising some Easter Special Gifts. The sign said: $1 Dollar, 2 Prizes! 2 More Eggs left! Don't miss this chance!
"You see that, Pikachu?" I nodded. "Why don't we go check it out?" We walked across the street to the stand. Two boys, one who looked like an eight year old and the other about ten, were shouting out advertisements.
"Come, one, come, all, to the Karton Bros. Easter Special!" shouted the older boy.
"Get an extra special Easter gift by just the pick of a popsicle stick- Ooh! Heh heh! How was that, brother? I rhymed!" laughed the kid.
"Hello, can I see what you have here?" Ash asked.
"Yeah! By paying one dollar for two sticks, you can get the chance to win two of these awesome prizes! Oh, and you can only win one of the prizes above the red line." The older sibling pointed to the top of the prize list. The list said:
Pokemon Egg
Pokemon Egg Case
Chocolate Pokeball with Marshmallow or Peanut Butter Filling
-
Box of Chocolate or Gummy Pokemon Shapes
Chansey Surprise Egg
3 Choices of Candy
"Those are some neat prizes. Want to give it a go, Pikachu? We can both give a dollar." I excitedly nodded my head and grabbed the poke dollar in my paw. Ash went first.
"Great! Now just pull two sticks out of this bucket." The two boys motioned to an ice cream tub filled with skinny popsicle sticks. When Ash pulled his out, both had brown tips at the bottom.
"You get the cheapest prizes, six pieces of candy!" The older boy pushed a storage container full of candy to us. It had hard candies, assorted bite-sized chocolate bars, three-pack jelly bean bags, and two-pack gummy bear bags. Ash picked out his six.
"Your turn now, little guy!" The eight year old boy grabbed my dollar and I picked out two sticks, too. Mine were brown and blue.
"Yay! The little guy gets a box of Pokemon candies and three pieces of candy! Want chocolates or gummies?" I pointed to the chocolate box. "Here! Have a good Easter!" The kid gave me the box. I chose three packs of gummies. When I finished, A teenager in a lime green hoodie that had chocolate stains on it almost stepped on me from moving to the stand too quickly.
"I'll give five dollars! I want to stock up on that candy!" he said, still not aware that he got too close to me.
Freak. We headed towards the forest where our camp is.
"That's a really good deal for only fifty cents. Man, you got a better prize than me!" I chuckled and put his hat on my head.
As we approached the camp clearing, we spotted Cilan and Pansage with a large box. Pansage was taking chocolates out of the box to wrap them, and Cilan was putting away his appliances, pans, etc. They looked up from their work.
"Hey, you're back. You were out longer than I expected," Cilan said.
"Yeah, there was a huge crowd of people in the candy aisles. I had Pikachu get the eggs for me," Ash replied.
"Well, good thing you came now. You can start putting the chocolate into the eggs." We nodded and began to fill the eggs.
Through the whole process, I was tempted to eat at least one piece of chocolate. I picked up another piece and began to slowly unwrap it...
"Pikachu! Hahaha! Don't eat that. It's for the others. Besides, why don't you have some of the chocolate you won from the Easter stand in town?" I chuckled in rememberance. I ran into Ash's backpack and pulled out my box of chocolates...
Pansage
Looking up, I noticed that Pikachu had a small white box with an Easter egg design on the top. I had work to do, so I decided not to question it. Pikachu quickly threw a strangely shaped chocolate into his mouth and went back to work.
About an hour later, we had already started placing the eggs. The four of us split into two groups, taking thirty eggs each. Pikachu and I went with our own trainers. Cilan had been annoyingly picky with where the eggs were placed. Whenever I placed an egg, he would come over and move it a few inches. His behavior confused me, but I kept my mouth shut and my hands away from questioning him. He was always weird, no doubt about that.
Eventually, I ended up with the rest of the eggs, and he would fix them. I caught a few things he said, such as "no, not the leaf", "I hope it's not crushed", and "naw, the smell won't affect it". I finally processed that Cilan was more worried about the quality of the chocolates than the placement of the eggs. I guess having worked at a top class resturaunt for so many years automatically puts the idea of top quality food in your brain.
I began to place my twenty seventh egg, seeing a tall figure slowly walking in. I could hear talking.
"Yeah, it's a surprise. Keep your eyes shut. Don't worry, it will be fun," said the familiar voice of Iris.
"I can't wait! I love surprises!" I heard Axew say. Iris carried Axew to a tent.
"Now, stay here. Whatever you do, don't take a peek outside or else it'll spoil the surprise," said Iris.
"Ok, fine," Axew responded. The dragon girl came out and walked to us.
"Are you almost ready?"
"Almost. We jut need to hide three more on our part. I don't know how Ash and Pikachu are doing," my trainer answered. We all looked over to them to see that they were already finished, munching away at candy. There were nine empty wrappers and the white box had only two chocolates left. They were probably finished long before we had placed our twenty fifth egg.
"I'll go hide the rest of them," said Iris. "Some should be put higher up so it could be more of a challenge to find them."
"Good idea. I'll go get Ash and Pikachu. Meet us with all your Pokemon behind that boulder over there." Cilan pointed to a huge rock next to the lake.
"Got it," Iris said before running off with the eggs.
Pignite
Cilan announced, "For this year's Easter Egg Hunt, it will be a speed hunt where there is a limit of eggs hidden in the area, sixty to be exact. We will put you into teams of three, four Pokemon in each team. Pansage, Pikachu, and your trainers will be supervising. Everyone understand?"
"Yes!" all the Pokemon said.
"Good. The boundries will be the lake, the forest, and that plastic chair in the middle of the field. One of the five of us will be stationed at some places to make sure you don't go beyind the borders." Cilan unfolded a piece of paper. "Team One is Axew, Unfezant, Leavanny, and Krookodile. Team Two is Oshawott, Snivy, Crustle, and Palpitoad. Team Three is Scraggy, Emolga, Pignite, and Excadrill. Dragonite and Stunfisk will not be taking part, Stunfisk because he... well... yeah, you know. Ok, I need everyone to get your teams!"
I couldn't keep my eyes open. Sure, it was the middle of the day, but who said I couldn't take a nap at this time? I yawned again. I managed to force my eyes to see the Pokemon around me, looking for Excadrill. Finding his sharp metal razors, I groggily walked over to him.
"Ready for some egg hunting, Pignite? 'Cause you sure don't look ready." Excadrill chuckled.
I yawned again. "No, I'm not. I'll just follow you three. Maybe I'll wake up along the way," I replied.
"Heh. Sounds good to me. 'Kay, ready, Scraggy and Emolga?"
"Yeah! We're going to find so many more eggs that Axew's team! Yep! Go Team Three!" Scraggy began to jump up and down, holding his pants.
"When you get plenty of eggs, give them to one of your teammates to run here to drop them off so we can count them. Keep your own team pile of eggs. When we count sixty eggs, I will call the hunt to be over!" Cilan continued.
An idea sparked in my mind. "Aha! How about we give our team a name?" Excadrill stared at me.
"So... you awake?"
"Uh, yeah, maybe."
Emolga chimed in, "How about the Lightning Hunters? Sounds pretty cool, don'tcha think?"
I nodded. "Ok, we could use that-"
"WHOO! We are the LIGHTNING HUNTERS! YEAH!" Scraggy shouted.
"Psh, Lightning Hunters? We've got an even better name!" Axew countered.
"Yeah, Axew? Like what?" Axew paused to blink. He turned toward his teammates to say something, who face palmed.
"Uuuh, how about the Hurricane Horders?" Unfezant suggested.
Leavanny scratched his head. "Huh, yeah. Sounds alrigh-"
"HA! Beat that, Scraggy! We're the Hurricane Horders!" Everyone grew silent, and all eyes went to Team Two.
The team talked amongst themselves. Palpitoad spoke up.
"Our team is called the-"
"Ok, everyone!" Cilan interrupted. "Everyone must STAY TOGETHER with their team at all times with the exception of the egg deliverer. Ready your selves!"
"Um, never mind."
"Ready?" Iris started. "Set! GO!" Everyone rushed out into the field.
"C'mon, gang! Find as many eggs as you can! I'll be the egg deliverer. Put the eggs in my claws!" Excadrill shouted. We began storing eggs right away. We already got quite a few. "C'mon, fill my claws all the way up!"
"Are we Lightning Hunters or Dud Clouds? Let's pick up the pace!" I included.
"Ok, I'm gonna run back. Keep gathering!" Excadrill began to run back.
"I wanna win my first ever egg hunt!" Scraggy happily stated.
"It's my first egg hunt, too! Hey, thing you can feet these in your pants?" Emolga asked the fighting Pokemon.
"Uh, maybe."
"Excadrill is coming back," I told them.
"Good job! Fill 'em up!" We dropped our eggs into his claws.
"Eh, good enough. I'll be back."
"Emolga, can you find any eggs from up in the air?" I call to the squirrel.
"I'll look around. Oh, there's one!" Emolga pointed to a lime green egg in the grass.
"Great! Keep looking, Emolga!"
"There are only five eggs left, gang!" Cilan announced.
"That's IT? We gotta find those eggs, lightning fast!" Excadrill yelled. "Try to find at least one more!"
"Here's one!" Scraggy called. Wait, but this one was larger than the others... and it had a strange texture to it. Oh well, it's probably a special egg. It was decorated just like the other eggs, though. Besides, it had one of those tags like the tags on toys from a store.
"That's... an interesting egg, Scraggy. It's probably a special egg that'll give us more points! Ok, let's run back!" As we approached Cilan, he yelled, "One more egg left!" We immediately skidded to a halt.
"What? How about this egg?"
"Huh, let's just keep going, Excadrill," I say to him.
We dropped off our eggs into our pile. Cilan announced the end of the hunt. When he finished, the trainers immediately looked at our pile.
"Hey, is that a Pokemon egg?" Ash began.
Pokemon egg?
"Wow! You found a Pokemon egg!... But what is it doing in the field?" Iris chimed in.
"Wow, this egg has a lot of dirt stains," said Ash.
"No, these aren't dirt stains. These are chocolate stains! What in the world? There's a note here." Cilan unrolled the tag.
Oh, that's a note?
"It says, if anyone finds this egg, keep it safe. I only wanted chocolate, but I got an egg, too."
"Is that it?" asked Iris.
"Yep, that's all there is besides a few more chocolate stains."
Pikachu
Chocolate stains? Got an egg too? Hey, it's probably from that guy with chocolate stains on his lime sweatshirt... heh, that color doesn't really suit him. I ran onto my trainer's shoulder.
"Ash! It was probably the guy from the Easter stand! Remember?"
"Um, Pikachu, I don't speak Pokemon. Heh heh." I pulled out the box from the stand that was now holding a bunch of wrappers.
"Oh, yeah! The older boy that went to the Easter stand! You're right, buddy!"
"Ash, who are you talking about?" Iris asked.
"Oh, you won't know him. Ok, let's say who the winners are."
"Right. The team in last place is..." We all grew silent to hear the results.
"Team Two! Good efforts, guys." Team Two looked disappointed, but Snivy, of course, showed no emotion.
"In second place is Team One!"
"Aaw!" Axew whined. Leavanny put his arm around him.
"That's ok. Besides, horders does sound a bit strange for a name. Heh!"
"That means the winning team is Team Three!" The Lightning Hunters all cheered.
"YAY! I won my first egg hunt! YAY AGAIN!" Scraggy squealed.
"Good job, team! You all played an important role in the team," Pignite said proudly.
"Team Three gets this lovely Chansey Surprise Egg!"
Wait, what?
"Hey, where did you get that, Cilan?" asked my trainer.
"Um, it was from an Easter Special Gift stand. Why do you ask?"
"Oh..." Ash looked at me. "Heh, no reason."
"Well, ok. Team One gets a bag of delicious chocolate chip cookies made by yours truly!" Cilan handed the teams their prizes. "Lastly, Team Two gets the privelage to stay out of their Pokeballs whenever they want for the next three days! Heh heh!"
"WOOOT!" Everyone but Snivy cheered.
"How come the losing team gets the best prize?" My trainer put his fists on his sides.
"Oh, Ash! That's because Team Two has the least amount of chocolates from the eggs!" Iris cheerfully answered.
"We'll stay out to enjoy the rest of the day in fresh air, relaxing. Ash, Iris, I'll be bringing this egg to the Pokemon Center."
"Got it!"
Then, I noticed all the Pokemon gathering in a circle around Oshawott.
"I have a great idea! You guys all know what day tomorrow is, right?"
From the Author:
Happy Easter! Wait, is that how you say it? Well, enjoy your chocolate!
The upcoming dialogue is for anyone who is confused on the purpose of Easter. Do not post ANY comments or reviews about it.
I'm going to be putting a short chapter up tomorrow! Stay tuned!
Oh, and don't get the wrong idea when it says egg deliverer, 'kay? -_-
Pikachu: I still don't understand the meaning of Easter. All I know is that we go out and search for little plastic eggs with chocolates in them.
Pikachu913: Actually, Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ, from the dead.
Pikachu: How does that have to do with eggs?
Pikachu913: The eggs I don't understand. Anyway, on Good Friday, God sent His Son, Jesus to die a very slow and painful death nailed on a cross. He did that so He could take away our sinful fate in Hell eternally. Heh, I usually call it The Bad Place. It's just that the name of it bothers me.
Pikachu: Get back on topic, will you?
Pikachu913: Yes, of course. You see, three days later, which we call Easter, He rose from the dead.
Pikachu: That's it? So now we're all saved from The Bad Place, as you call it?
Pikachu913: Nope. You see, salvation is a gift. The only way to Heaven is accepting the gift God gave us and accepting God as our personal Lord and Savior.
Pikachu: Huh, whatever you say. I don't really get it.
Pikachu913: That's what most people think, besides people who are against Christianity. Read the Bible, starting from Matthew, to read about Jesus' life on earth. You should mainly start from the beginning of the Bible so you understand what it's talking about in certain parts.
Pikachu: Maybe I'll just read it to understand.
Pikachu913: You could also read one of those Bible story books; they summarize the stories. Also, find a church to go to every Sunday.
Pikachu: I'll keep the story book thing in mind.
Once again, do NOT post ANY reviews or comments about this dialogue. If you have something to say about it, PM me. Thanks!
Pikachu913 out.
