Characters
I didn't state any changes, did I ?
CHAPTER 2: A Rocky Start
Narrator's POV
Previously on Tale of Two Brothers, Vulpix and Eevee started to develop feelings for each other however, they didn't admit it to themselves. On the other hand, Buizel and Mienfoo already did that. Now, they just have to tell each other. Finally, Mienfoo and Buizel were doing some fighting moves. Her moved missed so, Mienfoo checked her work and Buizel noticed something. (A/N: I suck at summaries, don't I ?)
Buizel's POV
I checked her work. Very thorough and very accurate. She double-checked (a true geek !)every step. I got down to the steps she was talking about. Nothing seemed wrong so, I guessed it the work was correct. Then I realized something.
When I realized the last step was correct, it hit me. The degree of our throw was correct but, our arm's position was hindering our force on the throw. Basically, our arms, in the position it was in, couldn't produce the force necessary to throw the Focus Pulse at the rock. So, we could take a step forward to get a greater force from our supporting arm (Worst follow up. EVER. Right ?).
"That's it !", I said yelled.
"What ? What ? Tell me !", she asked.
After I explained to her what I was thinking, she did something completely unexpected. I was so shocked but, hey, I wasn't complaining.
"Buizel. You're a genius.", she said as she hugged me.
The hug was very tight but, I was able to hand her one of the Heart Scales I got. I made sure it was the shinier one.
"Aww. Thanks, Buizel.", she said.
Then she did something even more unexpected. She kissed me. Well, she didn't kiss me on the lips. But, a kiss on the cheek is still a kiss.
"If this works out you'll get even more", she said with a somewhat seductive tone (?).
Yes ! This is it ! Once this works out I can tell her how I feel. Then I won't have to feel nervous around her and maybe she might feel the same way. She wasn't serious about the kiss right ?, I thought.
Mienfoo's POV
I really didn't know what I was doing or got myself into but, I was in love, you know. As the saying goes, "Love sometimes makes you do silly things".
Yes ! This is it ! If this works out I can tell him how I feel. Then I won't have to feel nervous around him and maybe he might feel the same way. He knows I was serious about the kiss right ?, I thought.
"Okay, after LRC (Author's Note: Do you remember ?) move 6, scratch that, its new so it's 21, do we do CRP 3, 5, or 12 ?", I said.
"CRP move 5. Followed by DM 18 then land in FS 9.", he said matter-of-factly.
"Okay. Let's do it !", I replied.
We started off with the LRC move 21 and shot it up in the air. While the rock was 'distracted' we ran up to it used our punches. Buizel did an Ice Punch while I did a Fire Punch (CRP). The rock moved slightly but, it didn't roll. Then, Buizel and I got the ground and used Iron Tail to propel us in the air (DM). Then, we did a backflip back to our original position. Our our way back to the ground, we stretched our feet out and crossed our arms to cover our face from any 'possible attacks' (FS). Once we landed there was smoke surrounding the rock.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!", I yelled at the top of my voice.
Third Person Ominscient
Mienfoo started to get really energetic until Buizel calmed her down.
"Mienfoo. Mienfoo. Calm down. ", Buizel said.
"Oh, sorry Buizel.", she said while blushing, "I kinda got a bit too much excited."
"Its okay. The plan worked, but you can't get excited evvveerrryyyttiiiimmmeeee a move is successful. You make me get worried about you. Really."
Mienfoo was silent.
"Really, Buizel?" Buizel nodded. "You're the best... Oh, and that reminds me. Your reward." Mienfoo said, blushing almost the entire time.
Buizel's POV
I was sweating bullets.
Wait, she was serious? Oh Arceus, what am I gonna do? I didn't think this was gonna happen. I haven't been in this type of situation before. WHAT SHOULD I DO? Buizel just go with the flow. Calm down.
When I opened my eyes she started to lean in.
Well that was fast.
Thoughts in unison: I can't believe it . My 1st kiss. Here goes nothing.
I followed suit and just when our lips were about to touch, (Author's Note: Should I make a cliffhanger. Naa. I'll be nice)
BBBBBOOOOOOMMMMMM!
Arms,legs, and a head popped out of the holes in the 'rock'.
"Who dares to do that and get away with it. Aargh", the rock creature said. I looked at us and laughed. "Ha Ha .You two did this to me? Egh, It doesn't matter. You two will still suffer the same consquences."
Mienfoo's POV
You're kidding me. Just when I was about to have my 1st kiss, a rock transforms into some loser that challenges us to a battle. Well, I know that the rock didn't transform, but still, of all times, it had to be now. Why Arceus ? WWWWhhhhyyyyyy ?
Buizel's POV
Are you serious ? Now ? It had to be now. And on top of it this loser wants to battle us. Oh my Mew.
I looked at Mienfoo and she looked back. It was clear that we were upset.
"Taste my venom. Feel the power of my venom. Here's my Rollout. Hiyah!", he said
We weren't quite prepared to dodge his Rollout so, I shoved Mienfoo out of the way and took the full force of the Rollout.
"Buizel !", Mienfoo yelled.
While I was blown away from Rollout, I gave Mienfoo a Just- Hanging -Around grin in mid-air. Once I hit the ground it turned into a What -Just -Happened-To-Me grin. Five seconds later, Mienfoo was by my side.
"Buizel. How do you feel ?", Mienfoo asked.
"I'm alright.", I said, starting to get up, also trying to show my strength to Mienfoo.
Once I was fully up, he was headed right back at us faster than the first time. I tried to hide behind a tree but my leg said otherwise.
"DM 29. Now", Mienfoo said.
Instantly, we started to do series of backwards handsprings despite the pain in my leg which seemed to dissapear after the last one.
Well, that was weird, I thought.
Once we finished our handsprings, he stopped rolling. He ended up on both of our sides.
" DCS (Double Combo Strike) 17", I bellowed.
Instantly we hit the rock creature with our Iron Tail (Steel is super- effective of Rock types). He fell on his knees. He took a hard blow.
"Aargh !Golem will not be defeated !", he screamed. He tried a Rock Slide Attack but, Mienfoo and I did a quick roll to avoid it. We fired another Focus Pulse (Focus Pulse, Water Pulse + Focus Blast = a SEVERE blow to a Rock and Ground type pokemon, aka Golem) at him. He was blown back at the attack and and cloud of dust surrounded him.
" For a guy who talks in third-person, this Golem guy isn't much of a challenge.", I said to Mienfoo.
" Ditto (Get it ? For those who don't, why are you reading this Pokemon Fanfic if you don't know what a Ditto is ?)", she replied. We both laughed.
"You dare mock Golem ?" a loud voice said. "You will fall and beg for mercy."
"You're one to talk. You yourself are onestep away from being KO'd.", I taunted as I prepared and Ice Punch ( Again, SUPER effective).
" That's it. Take my Stone Edge !", Golem yelled.
Mienfoo and I (who stopped my Ice Punch) did a series of backwards flips (DM 30) to avoid the Stone Edge but, there was a pond nearby and we almost fell in.
" I've got you now", he said, slightly scaring me. (Author's Note: Another chance for a cliffhanger. I'll still be nice. Enjoy !)
He was right. He had us pinned against the lake. But out of nowhere, two green vines (Vine Whip, grass type attack that does 4x damage on a Rock and Ground type pokemon) smacked him silly. He ran as if Darkrai himself was in front of him.
"Leafy !", I said, grateful of her coming to our rescue.
"What were you thinking Buizel ? Battling that guy was a stupid idea. You could have gotten seriously injured. I hate to think about it but, you also could have been killed ! ", she said, with a lot of concern.
"Uh, I wasn't ", I replied. Mienfoo laughed. " And besides he challenged us.", I explained.
" You could have ran away ", she said.
" He's one of those stubborn as a Sandslash, has a head harder than a Steelix and loves to pick fights like a Skarmory type of people ! ", I said.
"Oh, okay. If you're fine then I'm fine. Just don't put yourselves in danger. ", she said quite calmly for someone who was completely concerned two seconds ago.
"Are you okay, Mienfoo ? ", Leafy asked.
"I'm okay. ", she replied.
" Buizel, lets go. Ma has something to tell you and Eevee. And pleeeaasssee don't make upset. She already is ", Leafy said.
" Oh, okay. Bye Mienfoo. I'll see ya tommorow ", I said.
" Okay. Have a good night.", she replied.
We walked hom slow pace. While we were walking I asked Leafy what Ma was gonna tell us. She kept saying that we'll find out when we get there.
Meanwhile
Eevee's POV
Vulpix and I played with the beach ball all day so, we started to play tag.
"You're it !", Vuplix said to me, who chased me while I ran away from her.
"I will catch you, Eevee !", she said.
I ran to the top of a nearby hill and was tagged by Vulpix. I tag her back but, I stumbled on my left paw and fell down the hill, taking Vuplix with me. I landed on top of Vulpix.
Wow, Vulpix fur was so soft and neat. And not to mention well-groomed. Its wonderful. She so cute, playful, and enegertic. No, she's just a friend. Oh, never mind whether or not I know exactly what love is, Vulpix is someone very important to me.
Vuplix's POV
He tried to tag me and fell down the hill tripping me and landed at the bottom of the hill on top of me.
His eyes are so handsome. So big. And the hazel color. Oh my Mew, he's gorgeous. No he's my friend, nothing more. He's kind, gentle, and friendly. Oh, who am I kidding, he's awesome. He's definitely a keeper.
It took me a while to realize that Eevee was on top of me (A/N: I just wanna stress how much I laughed while typing this). I giggled.
" Uh, Eevee ?", I said snapping him out of whatever trance he was in. "Can I have my body back ?".
"Oh. Uh yeah. S-Sorry", he replied.
Third Person Omniscient
Out of nowhere, Spy came to get Eevee. She was slightly concerned since Eevee was not where he usually was. While looking, she saw the whole incident. She was very confused because she thought at first, that Eevee was in the process of mating withVulpix. However, she was no longer perplexed after getting a little bit closer. She told Eevee the same thing Leafy told to Buizel (Ma needed to tell them something and not to make get upset). When Eevee asked, she kept saying that he'll find out soon.
What does Ma want to talk about ? Will Buizel and Eevee confess their feelings ? Will I tell you ?Probably not. What will happen to everyone ? How will this story end ? Could this story affect my reviews ? Will I ever get a review ? Why is this a list of hypothetical questions ?
These answers and more on the Ch.3 of Tale of Two Brothers. Stay tuned readers, writers, and fellow Pokefans. Pokexpert out.
SPOILER ALERT
if you don't want to know I suggest that you leave the page.
Ma's talk is actually about what EV (an ironic abbreviation for Eevee, well for Pokemon gamers) and Buizel were stumped about and the reason is actually in the character summaries/ desciptions.
Okay now I'm out. By the way I'm hope my first review is not a flame. NO flaming, period.
