Okay, then. Here's chapter thirteen! People say that it is a bad luck number, but personally, I like it. Also, I just wanted to warn you that this chapter will contain major hedgehog violence. People with a weak stomach and a good imagination should not read. You have been warned.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. But I do own a very cute Chihuahua.

"What are you lookin' at?" Thunder said to Pheonix aggressively as she stared at him. His brown eyes narrowed as he waited for her response.

She giggled suddenly, raising her wings to cover her beak as she smiled at him. "A very cute bird," she replied, giggling and blushing more as she said the words.

Thunder cocked an eyebrow and gave her the same kind of look that most people would give a guy in a chicken suit who had just poked you with a pickle while they were walking down the street, then asked them how it made them feel. "Ummm, ... ooookay?"

The longer she stared at him, grinning and giggling like a fan-girl, the more uncomfortable he felt. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. "MOM! MAKE THIS CREEPY WEIRD GIRL STOP STARING AT ME!" he yelled.

Zapdos sighed. She looked down at Tundra, who was trying to learn how to write with her talons, and said "Sorry, Tundra. I need to go see what's buggin' Thunder. I'll help you more later, okay?"

Tundra nodded and the lightning hawk flew over to Pheonix and Thunder. She sighed again. "What is it?"

Thunder hid behind her, trying to escape the feeling of her eyes burning into him. "She won't stop staring at me! Make her stop it or I'll fry her brains out!"

"That wasn't very nice! You may be cute, but you need to work on your social skills!" Pheonix huffed as her eyes took on an angry aura and the flames on her head and wings grew in size.

"If you don't like my rotten attitude, then leave me the hell alone! I'm nothin' BUT attitude and I like it that way!" Thunder growled as he stepped out from behind his mother so he could glare at the fire bird.

Just then, she charged him and knocked him to the ground, pinning his wings to the ground with her talons. She then proceeded to peck him mercilessly.

"GET OFF OF ME YA CRAZY CHICK!" he screamed as he took the blows to his head and torso.

She only increased the speed and power of her pecks. He screamed in rage and used ThunderBolt, grinning with satisfaction when she screamed in pain and jumped into the air. He took the opportunity to escape.

"THUNDER! PHEONIX! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!" Zapdos commanded, not sure of how to stop them without hurting them in the process.

They ignored her and continued their battle. Pheonix repeatedly blasted him with fire, but his electric attacks were very strong against her and were wearing her down, even with her dodging most of them.

Zapdos groaned. "This wasn't in my job description..." she muttered.

"Maybe you should call in back-up."

"Yeah, maybe I..." she said, trailing of when she realized that the familiar voice wasn't one of the ones in her head. She snapped her gaze to the side and smiled when she saw the green ozone dragon. "Thank God you're here, Ray! This is getting to be a little much!"

He laughed. "I see that," he said before flying over to the two waring kids and looping his body around them, successfully pulling them apart as well as immobilizing them. He grinned at the two shocked birds. "Now, now children. Play nice or I'm gonna have to squeeze ya till your eyes pop right out of your skull."

Thunder and Pheonix both gulped before nodding their heads vigorously, looking like bobble-heads on the dashboard while driving down a gravel road.

He released them with a laugh and flew back over to Zapdos. "There ya go, Zappy! Do I have a way with words or do I have a way with words?"

She grinned. "I'm gonna go with the all of the above, my hero in scaly, green armor."

He practically permanent grin got a bit bigger as he put his hands on his sides and thrust out his chest in a heroic pose. "I am pretty awesome, aren't I?"

Zapdos smirked at him. "Ya better watch out Ray. If your ego gets any bigger, it could kill you."

Rayquaza resumed his usual posture and laughed. "I've never heard of anyone dying from an overinflated ego before."

Zapdos' face suddenly became serious. "Andrew Ketchum, year of 1997."

Rayquaza gaped at her. "You're not serious, are you?"

She smirked again. "Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."

Rayquaza pretended to be afraid for a few seconds before laughing. "So, how'd ya get roped into baby-sitting duty this time? Poetry convention?"

The hawk grinned. "Nope. They're on a double date." She wished she had a camera as she watched his jaw drop and his yellow eyes grow huge in shock.

"You have gotta be pullin' my tail! Who confessed first? Articuno or Lugia?" he asked as soon as he recovered enough to speak coherently.

"Articuno," Zapdos replied with a smirk.

"Damn. Now I owe Giratina ten bucks," he muttered, earning a laugh from the thunder bird.

Meanwhile, Ozzy watched them and rolled his eyes. He looked around for something to do. He saw Thunder and Pheonix glaring at each other and decided that he just wasn't ready to die. Then, he spotted Tundra off by herself. He flew over and landed beside her, peaking over her shoulder curiously. "Watcha doin?"

"Writing," she replied simply as she continued to practice etching the letters into the ground and thinking of their sounds in her head.

"You know how to write?" Ozzy inquired.

"No. But I want to learn how. Thunder and Pheonix think it's a useless thing to know, but I still want to," Tundra explained.

"Cool," the small ozone dragon replied with a smile.

She paused and turned her head to look at him, her eyes showing her surprise and happiness. "Really?"

He nodded.

She smiled and returned to her work. "Thank you." She paused again before looking at him again with a smile on her beak. "Do you want to write and read too?" she asked.

Ozzy smiled back. "Yeah. That would be really cool because we could learn together and it wouldn't be as boring as learning alone." He curled up his long, serpentine body beside her and began copying what she was doing using his claw.

'At least somebody around her is interested in learning something peaceful. And he's right... Did I really just make that stupid pun? Anyway, he was correct in saying that learning is more fun when it's not just you,' she thought to herself as she traced the letter M with her talon for the third time that day.

-ooo-

"You guys are boring. Are you gonna do anything other than talk?" Flower asked with a groan as she watched Chelsea and Uriah chat in the shade, her eye twitching slightly.

"No, probably not," Uriah answered, Chelsea nodding in agreement.

Celebi watched from not far away. She was making sure they didn't get into trouble while Uxie and Shaymin were at the museum. She suddenly giggled, doing a flip in the air and bringing her hands up to cover her mouth. They called it an outing, but she called it a date. Her attention was suddenly called back to reality when she heard the sound of snarling. She looked over to discover that the little hedgehog was violently ripping apart a leafy fern. She gasped. "Flower no! Leave that poor thing alone! A grass type should have respect for plants!"

Flower groaned and released the torn leaf. "It's a freakin' fern! It can;t feel pain!" she shouted. 'Though I wish it did,' she thought with a smirk.

"Yes it can! It's a living thing and all life is sacred!" Celebi replied, looking shocked at the white grass types words.

Flower was about to reply when she was suddenly tackled. She barely heard the giggling because her ears were folded back against her skull. She freed herself with a snarl and turned to face her attacker, only to automatically calm down. Her face filled with rage turned to one of annoyance. She couldn't exactly kill her minion, now could she? "Cosmo, what the hell was that about?!"

He stopped giggling and sat up, grinning at her. "Dad wanted to come and play with Celebi so I came too! Then I saw you and wanted to surprise ya!"

"I hate surprises," she grumbled. She sighed before shaking off the annoyed look on her face and looking at him, her expression as close to friendly as it ever got. "So, ya wanna go exploring?"

Cosmo nodded. "You bet!" he said as he began floating and following Flower's lead, his yellow wing-like appendages fluttering in the wind as they trailed after him.

They looked around at the array of plants and flowers. Cosmo admired them in awe and stopped to sniff a few while Flower just kind of ignored the scenery. The young wish granter suddenly grabbed her front paw to show her a beautiful flower with silky petals that were a mix of fuchsia and violet. "Isn't it pretty?" he practically squealed.

Flower looked at it for a moment before rolling her eyes. "It's just an orchid hybrid. Now let's get back to exploring! I wanna do something exciting and dangerous!"

Cosmo gave the orchid one last look before following her, mentally making a note to ask his father for orchid seeds. They continued on their little journey until they came across a Raichu, who was blocking their path.

"Get out of my way you giant rat," Flower told him coldly.

The large electric mouse ignored her order. "You little girls shouldn't be out her all alone. It's dangerous and we wouldn't want you to get hurt."

Flower rolled her eyes. "You're the one who's gonna get hurt if you don't get the hell out of my way. And FYI dip-wad, Cosmo's a boy!" she said as her companion just gave the Raichu a look of confusion.

The rodent cocked an eyebrow. "Are you serious? He looks like a girl to me!" he said, collapsing on the forest floor in a heap of laughter.

Cosmo felt his face heat up and tears begin to form in his eyes. A lot of people assumed that he and his father were girls, but it was starting to get to him. He hated it when they laughed at him.

Flower saw his eyes fill with tears and felt her own fill with the rage that coursed through her veins. First that stupid rat had assumed that she couldn't take care of herself and now he was upsetting Cosmo! She'd teach him a lesson that he wouldn't soon forget. "NOBODY MESSES WITH MY MINION AND LIVES TALK ABOUT IT YOU SON OF A BITCH!" she roared as she lept forward and attacked the unsuspecting Raichu.

Cosmo felt his sadness turn to horror as he watched his friend sink her teeth into the electric type's arm, drawing blood as well as a scream of pain.

Flower shook her head back and forth, loving the feeling of power, the taste of his blood, the sight and smell of his fear and the sounds of his screams and the tearing muscles as her teeth cut through his flesh. She remembered something she saw a Feraligatr do on Pokemon Planet and began rolling, twisting the arm in its socket until she heard the audible crack of his bone breaking as well as another cry of agony.

At this point, Cosmo began to scream as well, recovering from the shock of watching his best friend attempt murder and finally taking in all of the gruesome details.

Luckily for the Raichu, Celebi and Jirachi heard the screaming and came to investigate. They managed to pull Flower off of the mangled electric type before she completely tore his arm off, but she did manage to take a piece out of his ear.

Flower only had a few burn marks from the Raichu's attempts at defending himself, but her victim wasn't nearly as lucky. Celebi attended to his wounds, apologizing over and over again for Flower's behaviour. She managed to heal the rips in his skin, flesh, muscle and senue, but she couldn't fix the bone. She also stopped the bleeding from his ear and sealed the rip, but she couldn't renue the lost piece. She made a cast and sling for him before turning to face to others.

Flower, who had been licking some of the blood from her lips looked up to see everybody staring at her. "What, do I have something on my face?" she asked with a smirk, knowing perfectly well that her white fur was now red from the blood that soaked it and the bits of flesh still stuck between her teeth.

"You have some serious anger issues," Celebi said, still shocked at what Flower had done.

The hedgehog simply shrugged before returning to licking some of the blood from her fur.

Well, you can't say I didn't warn you! I hope non of you are scared for life. Now, please review or Flower might be a little mad.

Flower: :)

Me: i don't think you want to experience her wrath.
