I don't own Pokemon, but Harold is mine.
I have also decided to keep Tommy and Kimberly.
Plus the Pichu 'Autumn' and her Mother 'Lil'.
p.s. Today's chapter shall be served medium rare for... obvious reasons.

Ch. 4 The Dust Settles
11-27-08
(Harold's POV)
The explosion had obliterated everything in the crater. I could feel the dust lift into the air. i was somehow was still standing after all that.
....I'm standing on two legs.....this is good.....no, this is great....This is Ack!..... why am I in pain?..... wait a minute.... I'm not standing up.... I'm falling backwards...... in slow motion...... well, this is just great..... I thought as I fell on my back. It took me another ten minutes or so before I finally hit on the ground and the slow motion was over.
"(Nanashi... You jerk)," I couldn't move, not even as the dust settled and then I passed out.
.
(Lilly's POV)
....That explosion....there's Danger......but why here?.....
"(Mommy look! It's going to rain!)," Autumn cheered as she ran for towards the explosion, "(Rain, rain, I love Rain.)"
I cut her off, "(Autumn, get in the burrow! Now!)"
"(But mommy, it's going to rain!)," she complained, "(I could hear the thunder and everything!)"
"(It's not safe.)," I yelled at her, "(Now get back in the burrow, now!)"
My child looked disappointed for a moment, but obediently returned to the burrow.
"(Figs, I trust that you'll keep an eye on her, wont you?)"
"(Of course I will, Lil)," the Caterpie said, "(I wont let her out of my sight.)"
"(Keeping her in sight, isn't what I'm worried about.)," i said before I started running to were the explosion took place, "(I'll be right back, Figs.)"
When I got to where the explosion took place, I took the precautions to not be seen by anything that might have caused that explosion. I saw the crater only after all of the dust had settled again. I could detect no other pokemon that could have come to investigate, but I smelled something familiar.
.....I know this sent....It's that pokemon that was in our burrow last night.... I am going to kill who ever it is...... If they aren't dead already....
I cautiously approached the crater and looked down into it. There at the bottom of the crater was nothing. Well, there was a whole bunch of dirt, but that was it. That scent was still there, but it was very faint.
"*cough!*," I saw one of the piles of dirt move. Someone was down there under all of that dust.
Oh, and when I see who it was I am going to give them the biggest Thunder attack that they had ever seen in the history of electric attacks.

(Autumn's POV)
....Mommy sure was mean..... I just wanted to go play in the rain..... It was always so much fun before.... except for the grooming that I'd have to get afterwards.... Oh, why does mommy have to be mean today.... I'm ready to go out and play....
"(Figs, are Lil and Autumn alright!)"
"(Lil's fine and Autumn is...)"
"(Poppy!)," I jumped out from the burrow and landed on Poppy's big white belly.
"(Autumn! You're awake!)," Poppy looked around for a moment, "(but where's your mother.)"
"(She went to the rain without me.)," I told him with my huge eyes. Poppy just looked at Figs for a translation.
"(She went to go see what that explosion was.)"
"(And she left you here all by yourself!)"
"(Mommy was mean to me Poppy. She wouldn't let me go play and I let her groom me and everything!)," I cried, "(so can I go play now?)"
"(Wow.)," Figs said, "(I didn't know that Pichu could use Fake Tears)"
I glared at Figs. Not in the scary way, but in the I'm not faking it kind of way.
"(Not now sweetie.)," Poppy petted my head, "(Later, I promise. After your mother gets back, I'll take you and Snippy to go see Pewter City again.)"
"(Wow! You promise!)," I cheered as my father nodded,"(Yea! Can I go and tell Snippy!)"
"(No, lets wait for your Mother first.)," he picked me up and took me back into the burrow,"(But I'll go bring him over if you like.)"
.
(Lil's POV)
Finally, that little sneak is waking up. He was still covered in dirt, so I couldn't tell what kind of pokemon he was. If he was a ground-type then I might be in trouble. Then I saw him dust off his forehead. He was a Meowth.
"It came from over there."
"Come on Bro, wait up!"
"(Humans!)," I said. I stopped charging my attack and ran back into the woods.
.....that Pokemon will have to pay in a minute....I thought as I climbed up a nearby tree to get a better view.
"Whoa! What happened," the female said to the male.
"This must be where some Pokemon were fighting," said the male.
"Nya," the meowth cried.
"Look Brother! It's a meowth," she said as her brother slid down the slope, "What are you doing!"
"He looks pretty hurt," the brother said picking up the unconscious meowth, "we need to get him to a Pokemon Center now!"
I watched as the two of them take the little Meowth to Pewter City. There is no way for that puny thing to have been the one that came into our burrow last night. Even if he was, I think that he got what was coming to him already. I hurried back home. Thinking that I would never have to worry about seeing that Meowth ever again.

(Kim's POV)
"So how is he," I asked the doctor of the Pewter Clinic.
"Well, he checks out fine," the doctor said, "No broken bones, no blood loss, Heck, you don't even have a blemish, boy."
"But we were attacked by a meteor!"
"Calm down, Kid. There haven't been any reports of stars falling in Kanto for years."
"Until now," I grumbled.
"Look, if there was a meteor, just be glade that you're unharmed."
"If you don't believe us, we can even show you where it landed," I sort of shouted.
"I know, I know," the doctor was getting slightly annoyed, "so you told me."
"Kim, just let it go," Tommy said, "Meteor or not, I'm fine."
....No, you are not fine Tommy.... You limped the whole way here... but if both of you say so...
"Besides Kim there's something that...", he paused, "You know our parents don't even know where we are right now."
"Oh. right," I bowed to the doctor, "sorry, to have bothered you, but we have got to go."
We left the clinic running. We were heading back to our street, when I remembered something.
"Hey, Tommy," I asked after we had slowed down, "wasn't there something you wanted to ask me last night?"
"What? Oh, no, it was nothing," he said nervously.
"Come on, what is it?"
"Nothing," he answered, "really it's might not be something that I should ask of you."
"Tell me."
"No. It's not that important."
"Well then," I put on an evil smirk, "I guess that I'll have to tell you parents about what we did last summer."
Tommy stopped in his tracks, "You wouldn't dare."
"Yes, I would."
"But you'd be incriminating yourself," he pointed at me.
"You'd be in more trouble than I ever would."
"Come on, Blackmail's not fair!"
"If you just told me in the first place then I wouldn't have to resort to it."
"Please, my parents wont let me have my own place, if you tell them that! I'd be stuck with them for the next twenty years."
"Then spill."
"It was an accident and you know it!"
"Tell that to the ."
"Shush," Tommy had his hand over my mouth, "fine I'll talk so long as you don't."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ooh! Tommy's got a secret! What could it be? Don't answer that.
(-_-)' *sigh*
I'm not even sure myself.
Maybe I should let Harold squirm for the next few days, repeating the same story over and over....
Maybe...
I officially leave on the 14th, so Harold might want to hurry up!
