I don't own Pokemon, but Harold is still mine.

Tommy, Kimberly, Lil, Figs, Sparks, Autumn, Snippy and so on were made by me as far as personalities and character designing goes.

You should remember what's going on, but just in case, let's review:

Chatot wishes everyone a Merry Christmas in spanish!

(Crickets chirping)

Right, T_T ...No one cares.

Then Autumn has a nightmare. XD So cute!!!

Blah, blah, blah!

I blew up Harold... again. Muwahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Darn Mood swings. (-_-)*

Ch. 10 Chatty Explanations

1-2-09

(Harold's POV)

After the smoke had cleared up, I could see Nanashi laughing at me.

"(What are you trying to do kill me!)"

"(Oh, lighten up Harold.)" He said, "(I couldn't kill you if I tried.)"

"(Ah ha! So you were trying to kill me!)"

"(No, Harold. Why would I kill you?)" He denied, but then muttered, "(besides to prove R'n'Rer wrong.)"

"(Then why did you blow me up, again!)"

"(Funsies! and you deserved it.)"

"(How could I have possibly deserved that!)"

"(Well, it was New Years and you missed Christmas)" the bird explained, "(I felt bad about not giving you a present, so I let you have a rubber cigar.)"

"(Um, why am I here?)," the Remoraid asked.

"(Comic relief.)"

"(And how did I end up here?)"

"(Sorry, it happens when Harold here smokes.)"

"(Why are you here, Nanashi)," I asked a little bit annoyed that no one was paying me any mind, "(I thought you said that you aren't allowed in one of your fics.)"

"(Like I said before, I'm not Nanashi.)," the bird explained, "(I am a character made up to represent Nanashi in this world. You can call me Chatty. I never really appear in any of my fics.)"

"(But before in the Adoption Center.)"

"(That... is not important right now)," Chatty said, "(look, I really needed to talk to you.)"

"(Why a are you a Chatot?)"

"(That's like asking 'Why a Remoraid?' They're both off topic! And are completely unimportant details right now!)," Chatty shouted, "(No offense Cuppy.)"

"(None taken.)," the fish shrugged.

"(What is important is that your life is in jeopardy!)"

"(What do you mean that my life's in jeopardy!)"

"(So how do I go home now?)," Cuppy asked.

"(Sorry, but you can't.)," Chatty sadly told the fish.

"(Why not?)"

"(Do you even have a clue where you came from?)"

"(The ocean.)"

"(Which one? There's like fifty of them in this world alone!)"

"(Oh...)"

"(Hate to interrupt your private talk with a fish, but my life!)"

"(Hm, darn short attention span. Where was I? Oh right, Your life, um, how can I put this, um...)," Chatty took a very large breath, "(When I sent you into this world, I used a meteorite made from an extremely powerful healing agent that I knew would help you survive the crash and heal any injuries that you could sustain from the landing. Unfortunately, the meteorite also disintegrated into dust and spread through out the forest healing everything that it touched, including the characters of a not yet posted dark fic, where this baby Pichu named Autumn was supposed to die. And when she survived the Dusknoir, aka grim reaper that was supposed to take her soul, reported his failure to his boss. So his boss sent Dusknoir to find Celebi to find out what happened, so that The Boss can get the soul that he wants or else to find suitable a replacement for it, namely you.)"

I took this moment to think about what the bird just told me and came up with this brilliant question, "(What the Heck did you just say?)"

"(When Chatty sent you here he unwittingly saved a Pichu, but the Pichu was supposed to die, so now Giratina wants to take your soul in Pichu's place, or else the whole fabric of life and death will come off balance.)," Cuppy told me, "(Give or take a few fancy words.)"

"(The fish got it and he can't even remember what he had for breakfast this morning!)"

"(Heck yeah, I don't! And who are you again?)"

"(I told you, I'm Chatty.)"

"(Well, I already knew that! Just look at that monolog thingy that you just made.)"

"(Excuse me, but could you just sum it up a bit more than you already did?)," I said trying to hold back my anger from being ignored again.

"*Squawk!!!!!!!*." Chatty cussed loudly, "(There's a Giant Ghost Dragon thing that wants to kill you, Baka!)"

"(But why does he want to kill me!)"

"(Not very bright is he?)," Cuppy asked.

"(That's why I'm trying to help him.)," Chatty sighed, "(I really do care for the dolt.)"

"(Care about me!)," I yelled, "(But you keep cursing me and blowing me up!)"

"(I blow you up because I care!)," Chatty shouted.

"(That doesn't make any sense!)," I yelled back.

"(You know he's right)," Cuppy agreed with me.

"(What you don't seem to understand is that, if I didn't care about you, Harold, then I wouldn't have continued this fic after I posted you the first day. I wouldn't have paid any attention to this fic, if I didn't like you to some degree.)"

"(Hey, if you care about me, then why don't you just free me from my curse.)"

"(Because One, that would be too easy. Two, I don't like you like that. And Three, I'm not really Nanashi, just a representation.)"

"(So now what am I supposed to do?)"

"(I don't know, I'm completely out of ideas here.)," Chatty shrugged.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Tom's POV)

"So is she going to be alright, Nurse Joy," Yoru was crying. I mean Yoru was actually crying. I could see the tears smudging the mascara that Yoru was wearing.

"Your Murkrow is going to be just fine," Nurse Joy smiled, "but she will need to stay here overnight."

"That's good," I sighed.

"You know that I blame you for this," Yoru was back being Yoru, "you and that stupid Chatot"

"A Chatot," Nurse Joy had one of those looks, "you must be joking?"

"Why would I?"

"Inu looked like she was blown up," Nurse Joy said, "Chatot can't learn such attacks."

"If that's the case, then somebody must have sneaked in and put an explosive in her cage," I said, "that would also explain how Chatot got out of it."

"Who would do such a thing?"

"It was that stupid bird of yours," Yoru growled, "I am going to kill it."

"But Yoru, Chatot couldn't have done this."

"There is only one way into my room and only one way out," Yoru calmed down a bit, "and if it really wasn't your bird, then that means who ever did this is still in the house."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Lil's POV)

Autumn refused to tell me anything about her dream. After eating some dinner, she went back into the nest. I slowly stroked her back as she slept.

"(Naomi)," I thought out loud, "(that's another human name, isn't it?)"

Sparks had told me about that question she asked earlier, but we had already concluded that she meant to ask about Girantina. Now I wasn't so sure...

"(Lil, Autumn, I'm back!)," Sparks called as he came inside.

"Shush! (She's sleeping!)"

"(Still?)," He asked, trying to stay quiet.

"(No, just a few minutes ago.)," I explained, "(she had a nightmare.)"

"(Again?)," Sparks calmly laid down in his spot.

"(She remembered something this time.)"

"(WHAT?)," he bumped his head on a root when he sat back up.

"(Quiet.)," I shushed him as I watched Autumn stir in her sleep. She curled up a bit more, about to wake up. I gently stroked her back. She loosened up a bit and fell back into her deep sleep, peaceful.

"(So what did she remember?)"

"(Just a name.)"

"(Tina again?)"

I shook my head no, "(Naomi.)"

For a spit second, my mate looked frightened. He quickly recomposed himself and went back to laying down.

As if I didn't notice...
