Next chapter and I'm loving what I have planned for this chapter.
Disclaimer: All the Pokémon OCs here each belong to an awesome person!
"Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up." The Zoroark kept pestering the unconscious Luxray. "Either wake up now or I drop that fucking pillow case filled with bricks on your crotc-Hello! What do we have here?" The Dark type let out a hearty laugh as he gazed at the tent that was pitched in the Electric type's pants.
"Wha... Dammit, why are you yelling?" Sven stuttered as he attempted to shake off his drowsiness.
"Someone was having a nice dream~~" With that said, Gizmo left the bedroom altogether with a snicker. The Luxray swore under his breath as he was left wondering what he was referring to. Though the comment about a dream caused to reflect on his own, it was very vague and cloudy. After a nice stretch while yawning rather loudly, he became aware of a stiffness. His face flushed red as he began to connect the dots of his roommate's cryptic words.
"Death fucking dammit..." He swore to himself and at his roommate. After getting ready for the day, the Luxray attempted to hide his embarrassment when he met with Gizmo in the kitchen. The Zoroark held a smirk as he was preparing some snacks for the trip. "Forget you saw anything."
"Saw what?" Sven sighed and decided to leave it at that. The Electric type tried to focus on helping in packing some snacks. "So when's your buddy going to come by?"
"Shit fuck, I forgot to arrange a time!" Sven assaulted his forehead nonstop. The Dark type stared at him in amusement, he never got to see his roommate frustrated like this. Usually the Luxray would just shake his head and leave the room, at the moment he was insulting himself and stressing out about it.
"Calm down Sevy... You're acting like you just messed up your wedding." The Luxray's ear twitched in annoyance from the use of his nickname, in response to his being used Sven returned the fire.
"Whatever, Gizums, sorry that I hate making mistakes." The Zoroark shook his head and walked out the other room to pack other things. 'Wonder what this guy is like to make him so flustered.'
Sven continued to bash his head against the wall, but after clarity was brought back to his mind, the Luxray searched himself for his phone and began to dial for the Arcanine. After much wait listening to the dial tone, Sven was relieved to hear the Fire type's voice on the other line.
"Sven? Just in time, I got all my stuff packed."
"Good, funny I was calling to let you know that me and my roommate were going to pick you up." The Electric type smiled as the other quickly agreed to it and hung up. His joy blocked out the headache that came from hitting his head from his own stupidity.
"Shit, you really like this guy." The playful voice of the Dark type broke the threshold that kept the headache back.
"I'm not gay, now drop it already!" Sven protested, face already flooding with blood. The Zoroark rolled his sky blue eyes and whistled a tune on his way out. "I do not like this guy, I'm just happy to have met him!"
"Your dick doesn't lie!" The Luxray froze in his current position.
"M-My dick...?" Gizmo said nothing more and left to start packing everything into their car. The Electric type being petrified, shocked about the comment. He just continued to stutter incoherent words. "Whatever! Let's just go already so I can kick your ass later on the field!"
The Luxray shouted as he made his way outside and entered the driver seat of the vehicle. The Zoroark letting out a large guffaw as he entered the passenger side. "If you are going to try and kick my ass, then I demand that your new friend should be on my side and you can have my little Shotzy."
"I'm fine with any partner as long as it means I can beat your face in with Superpower..." Sven growled as he pull out of the driveway. Gizmo let out yet another round of laughter and smiled smugly at the Electric type.
"I can just feel your fucking love. It's so... Deep." The sarcasm was fully evident in his voice, but quickly followed up his sentence with an actual thought. "Let's pick up Shotze first."
"Fine..." The Luxray grumbled and drove in the direction of the Leafeon's home. When the small house came into view, the Zoroark wasted not time and dove out the moving vehicle against the Electric type's protests. 'Crazy bastard...'
Sven shock his head as he parked on the sidewalk and waited patiently for his roommate to return. Unlike the tricky fox, he was able to wait for some things. He shook his head as he heard a loud yelp of surprise followed by pet names that would make random citizens around uncomfortable. "Just get in the damn car already!" The Luxray shouted as the little conversation seemed endless. He was having zero tolerance for the Zoroark's playful actions.
He heard a deep whine come from Gizmo, the couple took their seats in the back. "Hey Sven, how are things?" The Leafeon asked, hoping that the idle chat would calm the Luxray down.
"I'm fine." The Electric type replied with a calm tone. Shotze was the complete opposite to the Zoroark, calm and intellectual, which Sven found better company in than that of the wild Dark type. However, even with Gizmo's faults, he would never just leave the Zoroark hanging.
"Now drive, I want to meet your man-crush." All that could be heard from the Electric type was incoherent swears, all directed at the Dark type. The use of the words 'man-crush' made Shotze wonder about the situation.
"What does he mean by that?" The Grass type asked as he was utterly lost in all the tension.
"Sven has been way too happy after making a friend yesterday, and this guy is coming along on our trip." Gizmo smiled as the car began moving, the Leafeon sighed as he understood why Sven appeared more irritated by his roommate than usual.
"Oh." Was all the Leafeon could say in response. Before the topic was dropped, Sven made it very clear to the Zoroark that he wanted no mention of this when his guest was around. For the rest of the ride, the others remained quiet and the Electric type was thankful for that.
When the Luxray parked the car, he gave the Leafeon a nod, signaling for him to keep his boyfriend under control. If there was one thing they both knew, Gizmo is horrible at keeping quiet. Sven took a deep breath before exiting the car and stepping up to the door step. His knuckles pounded on the wood, a fraction of strength was used in fear of breaking through the door. Minutes passed before the door creaked opened and revealed the Acranine with a duffle bag hanging from his shoulder.
"Hey, I see you're ready to go,"
"Yeah, looking forward to it." Ratchet replied and followed the Luxray to the vehicle, depositing the Fire type's things in the trunk of the car.
"Ratchet, these are my roommate and his boyfriend." Sven put up an introduction as they both entered the car. The Dark type smiled widely.
"I am the roommate, Gizmo." He pulled in the grass type and nuzzled into his neck playfully, while Shotze himself felt embarrassed from being snuggled in front of someone he just met. "And this adorable little guy is my boyfriend, Shotze."
"Nice to meet you..." The Arcanine felt incredibly awkward with the public display of affection, but nonetheless felt glad to have met Sven's friends. The rest of the car ride seemed just random chit chat. No bumps on the road either, Gizmo kept his word and left the old topic to go unmentioned.
"Finally!" The Zoroark shouted as the car pulled into a clearing in the forest. Gizmo, for the second time that day, leaped out of the moving car and ran to take a spot on a edge of the clearing.
"Does he... Always do stuff like that?" The Fire type asked, Sven sighed deeply while putting the car into park.
"Sadly, yes, he's a dumbass." The Leafeon smiled a bit before opening the door to join him. The sound of the door shutting brought back a memory for the battle.
"Let's hurry, I've been waiting all day for this." Before Ratchet could respond with a question, the Luxray bolted out of the car and called for his new friend to follow. The Arcanine tilted his head but followed anyway. When all four stood together in the clearing, the Zoroark began to fill him in on their activity.
"We're gonna have a battle, since we now have four people, it's going to be a double battle, losers have to set everything up while the winners enjoy ice cream!" The Luxray smiled widely, fangs beginning to show and making him look threatening. "And because of a mishap this morning, the teams are already decided. Ratchet, you're with me."
The Arcanine shrugged as he stood beside the Zoroark, but not before he pulled out an actual ratchet tool and struck the Dark type on his skull with it. "Ow! The fuck was that for?!"
"That is for leaping out of a moving vehicle." He stated, before the Dark type could complain more, a roar of laughter erupted from the Luxray. Sven's laughing was uncharacteristic for him and even frightened his roommate. It seemed like a century before he managed to calm down.
"Sorry, now... Five minutes to strategize." The Electric type turned away and walked to the opposite end of the clearing with the Leafeon. "I can't have you going down immediately, so save Sunny Day for emergencies. Stay on the defensive against Ratchet while I knock the lights out of Gizmo."
"As long as you don't hit him in the groin like last year, I'm ok with that." The Luxray chuckled as he remembered that incident. Poor Gizmo couldn't move his lower body for three months.
"We're ready!" The opposing team shouted to them. The Luxray and Leafeon turned around and readied themselves. Sven's smile only got wider as he removed his shirt and assumed a stance to begin. "Showoff!" Sven sighed at the recurring joke from the Zoroark. He hated having a shirt restrict his muscle movements, so getting rid of it for a battle only seemed like a logical reason. But Gizmo being himself always stated that Sven wanted to showoff to others about his muscles.
"Let's just start the match." The Luxray yelled back, getting a nod of affirmation from the opposing team. The Luxray grinned as he let electricity flow through his body and sent a Thunder towards the Arcanine. Causing him to roll out of the way and evade. Gizmo took the moment to go in and attempted to claw at Sven with Night Slash. The Luxray had to leap back to avoid the damage.
In amidst the roommates' little death waltz, Ratchet set his sights on the Leafeon. Fire seemed to leak from his jaw as he blew out a Fire Blast at the Grass type.
"Shit..." Was all Shotze could say as the attack approached him. Seeing the Fire Blast being executed, the Luxray leaped in the line of it's fire and braced himself for the impact. Crossing his arms while having Discharge swarm the area to soften the blow.
'Amazing...' Ratchet thought to himself as he watched the Electric type dust off some left over fire on his arms.
"Change of plans Shotze, go ahead and use it, I'll handle the both of them." The Leafeon hesitated before conducting Sunny Day, the harsh sunlight causing the Fire type to feel invigorated. Both Gizmo and Ratchet eyed Sven, the Luxray standing proud and confident in the heat of the sun. "Bring it on!"
Instead of falling for the provocation, the two dashed past the Electric type with the Leafeon as their target. Both Dark and Fire type inhaling before unleashing a assault of fire moves. Fire Blast blending in with Flamethrower.
Thanks to his ability, the Leafeon easily dodged the attack. Chlorophyll increasing his speed by the double. Yet the others couldn't see if the attack had been successful due to the raging fire that covered most of the battlefield.
"Right here!" Shotze shouted as he closed the distance and sliced at the Zoroark with Leaf Blade, only to find that it was a substitute that faded away from the contact. The Leafeon expected a Fire Blast head his way, but only felt the ground underneath him collapse while arms took hold of him. The tricky fox grinned at his boyfriend and leaned in to kiss him while letting Flamethrower flow through his lips. Before the act could continue, Sven punched in with Superpower, breaking them apart and sending Gizmo into a tree.
"Shit, Shotze, can you stand?" The Electric didn't need to check if his roommate was knocked out, he already knew one punch would have ended him. The Leafeon coughed out some smoke, before long his body began to sparkle and life returned to his appearance. With the factor of Sunny Day, the Grass type was able to recover most of it's lost energy through Synthesis. He stood back on his feet and coughed out the last remaining smoke.
"I'll be fine, I can tough this out just as good as you can." He smiled as the Arcanine faced the both of them. Shotze felt his Leaf Blades appear and brandished both hoping to look intimidating. The Luxray stood back as the Leafeon took off, circling the Fire type at blinding speeds. But Ratchet appeared calm despite the Grass type appearing to multiply, which made it quite difficult to discern whether it was after images or Double Team being used.
Sven was sure that he Shotze could win this fight alone, up until the point when he noticed a fiery glow coming off of the Arcanine's body.
"Shotze!" The Luxray cried out as the Fire type unleashed Overheat, the attack spreading out from the center of the Arcanine. Smoke emanated from Ratchet as the recoil from the attack hit him.
"I'm still here." The Leafeon smiled as he dove in with blades crossed for the sneak attack from behind. The Electric froze when he caught a glimpse of a faint smile on the maw of Ratchet. The Fire type reached behind to have a glowing sword block both blades.
"What the hell...?" The Luxray was in shocked by the move, he couldn't dive in to stop the next attack. Shotze must have been caught off guard by the sudden block as well to have let the Arcanine slash at him. This time the Leafeon stayed down, knowing he couldn't help any longer. Shaking off the fear of the sword-like attack, the Electric type assumed a fighting stance again. "Just you and me now."
"Obviously." Ratchet replied bluntly, Sven thought about the situation at hand. 'So far he's got Fire Blast, Overheat, and that sword... I can't tell what attack that is, but unless I knock him back with Superpower we're pretty much equal with attacks that cancel each other out.'
Sven smiled as he dashed in towards the Fire type, a very predictable attack. Ratchet sighed and slashed with the blade only to feel the weight of something holding it back. Glaring at him with eyes of determination, Sven bit down on the blade and watched it crack apart.
"Impossible..." Though surprised that his attack was stopped and destroyed by a Crunch attack, the Arcanine maintained a calm mind and shielded himself with Hidden Power. Afterwards leaping in and grabbing a hold of the Luxray. 'Shit!'
He cursed in his mind as he knew what was coming, he could already see the fire building up in the Arcanine's mouth. Panicking more about the kiss rather than the attack, Sven used Superpower to augment his break away just before lips could make contact. If it wasn't for the battle, his blush would have been noticeable.
"Um... You wanna call it a tie...?" He asked nervously, his mind racing from having been so close to kissing Ratchet.
"... Alright." The Arcanine agreed, the Luxray felt relief flood his body after the confirmation.
Just saying right now. I had a lot of fun writing that fight. I should really get that kiss technique copyrighted, it works well for some situations. Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.
