Here is chapter nine! It's longer than the last few chapters, so I hope this pleases you! Thank you for all the reviews!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN POKEMON OR ZAC EFRON. (Is it even possible to own a human being?)
"Renay, I know you like this actor boy a lot, but don't you think this is a bit... extreme?" Giratina asked, switching his wide-eyed gaze between his daughter and the walls of her room.
"No. If anybody understands the passion behind a dedication and love for something, it should be you," Renay replied with a smirk as she added the final touches.
"Well, yeah. But I didn't wallpaper my room with pictures of Arceus! How the hell did you manage getting those Zac posters on the ceiling anyway? You can't even fly yet!" he said as he looked up at the Zac Efron posters.
"I got someone to put them up for me. Anyway, the only reason your room ISN'T wallpapered with pictures of Arceus is because you don't have enough of them!" Renay countered as she admired her new decorations.
Giratina grinned. "Yeah. You'd think they'd have more pictures of such a powerful, beautiful, intelligent pokemon in those pokemon books. And ever since she got that security system, it's been much harder to sneak in and take my own pictures." He suddenly got a suspicious face. "Speaking of which, where did you get all these posters?"
"Magazines," Renay replied simply before returning to admiring her posters.
"And where did you get the magazines?" he pressed, growing more suspicious at the way she seemed to be dodging answering directly.
"That's for me to know and you to hear about of the six o'clock news," she replied with a smirk.
"Oh, man! You didn't!" Giratina groaned as he went to check the TV, Renay smirking as he stared, gaping, at the scene on the television screen. He turned and stared at her in shock. "You did! That is the LAST time I trust MEW to baby-sit you!"
Renay smiled. "That reminds me, Mew and Cody took a bunch candy, junk food and toys. Meanwhile, I grabbed the magazines and some CDs and stuff!"
Giratina lowered his eyes. "Did you get any Nickelback or Bon Jovi?" he asked quietly.
Renay grinned. "Of course!"
"YES!" Giratina hissed excitedly before straightening up and giving her a serious look. "Don't think you're off the hook. I can't control Mew, but YOU are a different story. I'm going to find a way for you to pay back that store for the stuff you stole." He smiled. "But for now, pop in that Bon Jovi CD."
-ooo-
"What are you doing here, asshole?" Registeel asked suspiciously when she saw Regirock approaching.
"If I had my choice, I'd rather be being tortured, bitch. But Rocky wanted to see Reggie and she wouldn't stop whining. She finally convinced me to come after threatening me with a jack-hammer she found," he replied sarcastically as he sat on the other side of the cave.
Rocky smirked with her eyes. 'The fear in his eyes when he saw that thing sure was funny!' she thought before she saw Reggie come running up. "Hey, Reggie!"
"Hey, Rocky," she replied as she slapped her hand against Rocky's raised, club-like arm. "So, what do you want to do?"
"Hmmmmm," Rocky said, her eyes flashing to show she was pondering. "Let's play baseball! That way, I can use my arms as bats. You could pitch."
"Okay," Reggie replied, smiling with her eyes.
"Hey, you can't play baseball with just two people," Registeel said. "And it's not fair if Rocky does all the batting and Reggie does all the pitching!"
"But, Mom," Reggie reasoned. "Rocky can't hold the ball. Besides, I prefer pitching to batting anyway!"
"You should still take turns," Registeel said, folding her arms across her chest as she gave the children a stern look.
"Control freak," Regirock grumbled, eyes flashing to show his annoyance.
"Shut up, you pain in the ass," Registeel growled as her hands balled into fists at her sides and she glared daggers at the legendary of rocks.
"Why don't you make me? You stubborn bitch!" Regirock countered as he climbed to his feet and approached the legendary of metals, getting into an attack position.
The children watched in a mixture of horror, amazement and awe as the two adults attacked each other, screaming battle cries and insults as they attempted to kill their fellow trio member.
"I'll go get Mom's cell phone," Reggie said in a mesmerized voice before tearing her eyes away from the battle scene and walking off to go find the item.
Rocky barely noticed her absence as she continued to watch the fight.
Reggie came back with the phone soon. She was skimming through the phone numbers saved on the phone, trying to decide on who to call. "Rocky, should I call Regigigas, Regice or Arceus?"
Rocky snapped out of her mesmerized state and gave Reggie a look that clearly said 'duh!'.
Reggie sighed. "Regice it is," she said as she selected the ice ruler's number and waited for her to pick up, watching the brawl as she waited.
-ooo-
"I still don't get why your apprentice's cloud is Pepsi can blue instead of purple," Raikou said to Suicune as he stared at Crystal's long, flowing cloud.
"I don't either. Can you just shut up about it already and get to work? We have to teach them how to use their abilities," Suicune said as she walked over to the lake. She turned her attention to Crystal and smiled. "Okay, I'm going to try to teach you how to walk on water."
Crystal watched in awe as her mother stepped out and effortlessly trotted across the water's surface before coming back to stand at her side again.
"Now it's your turn," Suicune said, nudging her toward the edge.
Crystal inhaled and exhaled deeply before putting the first tentative paw onto the water. She closed her eyes as her second front paw followed it, expecting to fall in. After a moment, she opened her eyes, which widened in amazement soon afterward.
She was standing on the water!
She carefully stepped forward, all four paws now resting on the water's surface. She smiled in glee before prancing around a bit. Suddenly, she heard a loud yelp. She was so startled that she slipped through the surface of the water. She paddled rapidly to the barrier between air and water. Her head exploded into air and she spluttered the water from her mouth before looking to locate the source of the yelp.
Suicune was climbing up off of the ground, small burn wounds visible beneath her light blue and white fur. She shook her head to try and find her bearings.
"Mom! Are you all right? What happened?" Crystal called to her as she swam to shore as fast as she could, determined to help the lupine legendary.
Suicune gave her head one last shake before her gaze focused on Crystal. "Yeah, I think I'm okay. I don't know what happened. One minute, I'm watching you and the next I felt pain. Then I woke up on the ground." She nuzzled the child, who had finally reached land. "You were doing great though!"
Crystal smiled at her. Suddenly, she heard a loud sound, like something big was crashing through the woods. Then, Raikou let out, followed by Sasha.
"Suicune!" Raikou cried when he saw the marks. "I'm so sorry! I was showing the kid how to use Thunderbolt, but I missed the tree I was aiming at! I heard the yelp and came running! I am so so sooo sorry for hurting you! Can you ever forgive me?" he babbled as he repeatedly called himself stupid in his head.
Suicune stared at him for a moment before her crimson eyes softened. "Raikou, it was an accident. Of course I'll forgive you. I'm all right. Stop freaking out."
Raikou's entire body sagged as he exhaled. He looked back up and smiled. "Thanks, Su," he said before walking over and giving the large burn mark on her shoulder a few soothing licks. "I'm sorry again for hurting you," he said between licks.
Suicune felt her face heat up. She lowered her head and gave the burns on her legs a few licks to hide the blush on her cheeks and snout. "It's okay, Raikou. Thank you," she said softly before returning to her leg wounds.
Sasha noticed Suicune's blush and smirked. She leaned closer to Crystal and whispered "Your mom's blushin'. Do ya think she likes my dad?"
Crystal smiled. "I don't know, but I think it's very possible. And judging by your father's cherry red cheeks, I'm guessing that he likes her too."
The two kids shared a giggle before Sasha motioned for them to leave. Crystal understood. They should leave the adults alone. She followed the tiger cub into the woods. They eventually found Entei. They told him about what happened.
The volcano lion chuckled. "I knew it!"
-ooo-
"Hey, Manny," Azelf said to his friend as he settled on the sand at the water's edge. His daughter plowed straight into the sea, purposely splashing her father, Manaphy and Seth.
"Hey, Azelf. Howya doin' buddy?" Manaphy laughed as he wiped some of the brisk water from his face with his flippers.
"Okay, I guess," Azelf muttered.
Alexa surfaced and laughed. "He's just grumpy because Mew broke into a store and took a bunch of candy and junk. He's worried that she's a sugar addicted criminal!"
"Is that true, Azelf?" Manaphy asked as Alexa pounced on Seth, pulling him underwater.
Azelf sighed. "Yeah. She's so reckless and carefree. It's like she acts without thinking of the consequences. And she doesn't have any trio members or a counterpart, so I've had to watch out for her. That's why I was so happy when Mewtwo joined us. At least now she has someone to be grouped with."
Manaphy laughed. "Azelf, Mew can take care of herself. She's smarter and wiser than she acts. And even IF she gets into trouble, she has the Little Legendary League to watch her back. She also has her clone and her friends."
Azelf smiled lightly. "I guess you're right. I don't think I can ever stop worrying though..."
Manaphy smirked. "That's because you care for her. A LOT."
Azelf felt the blush rise to his cheeks. He was thankful that Alexa and Seth chose that moment to explode from the water and tackle Manaphy. He laughed. "Excellent timing, Alexa."
The blue and white legendary child surfaced and grinned at her father. "Thank you. Now, hold still and don't squeal," she instructed as she crawled onto the sand and began digging a hole as her father watched in confusion.
"What are you doing?" he asked as she came over, grabbed his tails and dragged him to the hole.
"I'm burying you, duh!" she laughed as she pushed him in and began filling it up, despite his protests. Soon, she had him buried up to his neck in the warm, sun-baked sand.
Azelf stopped struggling and realized that the warm, toasty sand actually felt very soothing. He sighed happily and closed his amber eyes.
Alexa grinned. "You seriously need to relax. When you have, I'll dig you out and you can join us for a swim, Daddyo!" she said with a laugh as she joined Manaphy and Seth in the water.
