Hello, everyone~~! Sorry it took me so long to update, but here it is~~! Chapter Four of Shisso! 8D This chapter may be a little lame to most of you and that's alright if you think that, but don't flame me for its extreme lameness... -_- So yeah...I own nothing except Ivory, ok?
Ivory walked to her secret training area with Lucario quietly in tow.
"It's peaceful today, huh, Lucario?" She asked. He nodded, a look of contentment on his face. She smiled and gently pat his head.
"Today is going to be a nice, quiet day of training. Granted that Armaldo and Donphan make a lot of noise." She stated. Lucario shook his head, not wanting the headache he knew was going to come. Ivory smiled gently and scratched his ear, "Don't worry, if they get too loud, I'll tell them to knock it off." She reassured. He let out a soft breath and she laughed softly, "You're so funny, Lucario…" She stated. Lucario's cheeks dusted a soft pink and he looked off to the side. She smiled more and continued to her training area.
Lucario perked and grabbed Ivory's wrist, stopping her. She looked back at him, confused, "Lucario?" She asked. The pokemon's eyes closed and he used his Aura senses. There were intruders in the training area, he concluded. A male with an undesirably familiar Aura Signature and six other pokemon. Lucario looked to Ivory with a serious expression and she frowned, "Someone there, Lucario?" She asked. He nodded and she grew serious as well.
"Let's go, Lucario!" She said and ran forward, Lucario following close behind. When they got to their now not-so-secret training area, Ivory was displeased at who she saw.
"YOU?" She gasped. Red peeked up from his hat and smirked, "Well, hello again…" He greeted. She stomped her foot, "What are you doing here!" She hissed.
"It looked like a nice spot to train…" He answered. She growled.
"This is my training spot!"
"I don't see your name on it, little girl…" He replied smugly. She growled more and clenched her fists.
"This is my area so leave now!" She ordered, Lucario getting into a fighting stance. Red scowled and pulled his hat up slightly, "Why should I leave? Didn't your mother ever teach you to share?" He asked.
"It's my training area, I found it first, so it's mine! I don't have to share!" She stated. Red smirked.
"Such a quick temper." He stated. She huffed, "Just leave, Red. You aren't welcome here…" She told him. He moved towards her and placed his hand on her cheek, making her blush. He inched close to her face, smiling faintly, "If that's what you really want…" He muttered. She swallowed hard and he returned his pokemon, walking away.
"Later, little girl…" He said, waving. She scowled, "Its Ivory!" She scolded. Lucario growled lowly at Red's retreating form and stopped when Ivory pat his head.
"Oh well…Guess we're gonna hafta put up signs…Or have Kyo guard the place, huh?" She joked. Lucario smiled faintly and nodded. She grinned and shooed him off, "Go on…go relax…" She told him. He smiled and nodded, jumping towards the waterfall and sitting under it. Ivory smiled and sent out her other pokemon.
"Ok, everyone. Just relax today. There's not gonna be any need for training for a while. So, just have fun!" She told them. They cheered and went about their business. Ivory sat and observed her pokemon's merriment. Politoed floated contently in the water with Bellossom sitting and dancing on his stomach. Armaldo was curled up under a tree and Donphan shot water from his trunk, Glaceon freezing it every now and again. Ivory smiled softly at them and laid back, enjoying the peace. It was nice to have a small break every now and then.
Red sat at the Lake of Rage, looking up at the sky. Pikachu sat next to him, enjoying the warmth of the sun. Ever since their rematch, Red couldn't get his mind off of Ivory. He loved her fiery temper and how she cared for every pokemon she met. He didn't understand why but he didn't want to know yet he was curious to find out. It was driving him nearly insane.
"Pika?" Pikachu looked at him and Red glanced at his friend. He smiled slightly, "It's nothing, Pikachu. Don't worry…" He reassured. Pikachu nodded and went off to play in the water. Red let the others out and watched them as they relaxed. He sighed softly and tilted his hat down. He was surely going to have to do something about these accursed thoughts running around his head, or he would have to kill himself.
That night, when all was quiet and still, Lucario watched Ivory as she slept peacefully. He blushed softly at the sight of her sleeping form. He loved how the moon made her soft brown hair shine and how her pale skin seemed to glow. He reached out and gently moved some stray hair from her face. He knew from the moment he met her, he had fallen pretty hard for his trainer. He motionlessly got into bed and laid down, putting his arm around her.
"I vow to always protect you, Master Ivory…" He thought before falling into a peaceful sleep.
See? What did I tell you? Super lame. Don't bitch to me about it, it was all I could think of through my horrid Writer's Block. So, yes...stay tuned and no flames!
