Well, there are only 2 chapters left. I can't believe it! As soon as I finish the Models of Petalburg I'll start the sequel for this.
Oh, and on June 24th it was my one year anniversary of when I joined FF! I can't believe it's been a whole year! Also lately I've been watching tons of Digimon. If any of you have watched it then I recommend the first and second series. I've been mainly watching this because, well, TK and Kari look so cute together! This probably sounds like total bologna to anyone who doesn't watch it, but whatever, you can't change my mind!
Chapter 48
Lisa's POV
The only way I knew how to enter Sootopolis was by underwater. It was fine with me, but I really didn't feel like babysitting Simon. Maybe I could give him an oxygen tank and Felicity could help him swim through…
I have my Milotic, but I haven't the slightest clue what kind of Pokémon Felicity has. Well, there's no other way to find out unless I ask, right?
"Fliss, what kind of Pokémon do you have?" I asked.
"Well, I have a Miltank, a Pidove, a Kingler, an Omanyte, a Braviary, and a Kabutops, but they're not very strong." Felicity said.
"I'm sure they're awesome, but for now we need to borrow your Kingler." I said.
"Is it for the diving part? Do you have a water-type?" Felicity asked. I nodded.
"Milotic's my water-type, but we need to get diving equipment first." I explained.
"Right, but what about Simon?" Felicity asked.
"I'm counting on you to babysit him. Oh, and don't let him drown. That'd be kind of bad, but if it comes to it you have to do the mouth to mouth part." I chuckled nervously.
Felicity blushed. How cute! She was embarrassed! "Um, okay…"
"Don't worry. He won't mind. Now, c'mon let's go get our diving gear. We haven't got all day. It's already cold enough in the fall, but I don't want to swim in a frozen lake." I shivered at the thought.
"Right, I wouldn't want that." Felicity sure was a high-class girl. I would never survive if I were her. We were currently at Mossdeep. The air was humid and divers of all sorts were crowding around the store. I ran my fingers through my conditioned hair. I guess this was going to take a lot longer than I thought.
"It's a good thing we've got months to do this." I said.
"Uh huh, this line's going to last through fall and winter." Felicity said. I laughed. It looks like she did have a sense of humor. I think I'm going to like this girl.
"Then let's hurry, silly girl." I grabbed her hand and dragged her with me, but Simon started crying. Please don't be an accident. Please don't be an accident. I chanted in my head over and over, but as soon as I got to him he stopped.
"I want Lee-sa." He giggled like a little kid. Geez, this was kind of embarrassing me. I mean I like kids and all, but I prefer them to be small and young. Simon was old enough to drive, probably. At least I think he's the same age as me.
"Right, but be quiet, okay?" He nodded as if he understood me. Maybe, he did, but whatever the case he shut up and Felicity and I were in line for the gear.
"He really likes you." Felicity observed, but I was honestly ready to say, "Duh!"
"I think I'm going to have to agree with that." I sighed.
"Do you like him back?" Felicity asked. I raised my brow at that question. To be honest I haven't really given my romantic life second thoughts. I am a hunter of Artemis after all. Dating was just going to be a waste of time for me.
"I honestly have no idea." I shrugged. It was somewhat the truth. When you become a hunter of Artemis you have to have some of your emotions blocked.
"Oh." Felicity said. I smiled as I noticed the line moving forward.
"Look, the line's moving. Looks, like we're going to make it before fall and winter end." I winked.
"I bet it's going to be gorgeous under the water." Felicity looked like she had stars in her eyes.
"Don't say that. It makes me think of the F.U.N. song. F is for friends who do stuff together. U is for you and me. N is for anywhere and anytime at all, here deep in the deep blue sea." I sang out of habit, but I could tell Felicity was tempted to laugh.
"C'mon laugh. Don't hold it in." I urged. She let it out, but instead of a delicate laugh I heard something that sounded like pig snorts and guffaws mixed together. This caused me to laugh, which wasn't pleasing because my cousin once told me my voice sounded like, a 'sucky thing.'
"I'm…sorry….my….laughter…is….quite…atrocious." Felicity said in between laughs. I stopped laughing long enough to say,
"Atrocious?" But I started laughing again. Okay, maybe, we caught quite a bit of stares, but soon after Simon started laughing and a few others around us too. Simon's laughter actually sounded like it belonged to his 'real' self. After a while the laughter died down.
"Okay, but seriously? Atrocious?" If I didn't know any better I'd think she was trying to confuse me with big words.
"I'm sorry. I thought you would know what the word meant." Felicity apologized.
"I do, but it's just so…proper." I said.
"Oh, sorry." Felicity sure had a habit of apologizing.
"Ooh, the line's almost gone!" There were only 2 people in front of us.
"Then let's go. Oh, and could you teach me that song? You know that one you just sang." The song from SpongeBob?
"Well, I only know that part. I think SpongeBob's kind of annoying." I shrugged.
"Then could you teach me just that part?" Felicity asked.
"Yeah, sure, but right now I think that getting some ambrosia would be our top priority." I said. I felt tugging on my arm and saw Simon making a face. This time it really was a bathroom emergency!
"Just hold it a little more, okay?" Geez, I couldn't do this. I should've brought a guy with me.
"Okay." Simon said.
"Felicity, do you have an idea on how to let him use the bathroom?" I asked. I wasn't going to find out what the boy's bathroom looked like because I wasn't a boy, so I wasn't going to find out!
"We could ask someone." Felicity suggested.
"Okay, you do it. I'll watch him and make sure he doesn't wet his pants." I said.
"I will be right back." Felicity said. I saw her go up to a man in his late 20's and ask him something. I saw him nod and soon enough he was heading in our direction.
"I'm assuming he's Simon." The man said. I nodded. He took Simon to the men's' bathroom and was soon out. It may have been crazy to let a total stranger help a teen go use the bathroom, but what other choice did I have? Go into the boys' bathroom?
"There you go. Now about that date with my son…" Did Felicity promise him a date with his son?
"Yep, if you don't mind we'd like to go diving first." Felicity said.
"A deal's a deal and the sooner my boy gets off his lazy behind the better plus you're cute as a button. I'm sure my boy won't mind." The guy said. Seriously? What kind of dad just sets up their son on a blind date in exchange for a bathroom trip?
"I'm looking forward to it." Felicity said. I have a feeling she was lying her butt off. The most she could hope for was the man's son to look decent.
"Wait, when is this so-called date?" I interrupted.
"Why it's this evening. My boy will meet you here at 7PM, so don't be late." The man said. What a strange man.
"If you don't mind could you tag along, you know if he's unbearably horrid?" Felicity whispered to me. I nodded. Looks, like this girl could think someone was ugly and whatnot.
"Sure, let's go grab some dinner." I suggested.
"Sounds like fun." Felicity agreed. Honestly, I really could go for some food now, but I could hold it for a couple more hours.
"I'll make sure my son's here, but if he's not here at 7PM then you don't have to go on this blind date." The man said. Well, at least he's a man of his word.
"Okay, we'll make sure we're there." I promised. Hey, if it prevents me from taking Simon to the boys' bathroom then so be it. The man headed to who knows where and Felicity and I went shopping for scuba gear. I ended up buying black gear, Felicity bought white gear, and we bought Simon orange gear.
It was actually kind of strange to find out that scuba gear came in myriad colors instead of just black and blue. We went to the local Pokémon Centre afterwards. I had to admit I was enjoying this task a little bit too much.
Felicity and I had to share a bed since the Pokémon Centre didn't have any more rooms with 3 beds. I didn't really mind as long as she was female plus she was small! She barely reached to my shoulders. There we took a quick shower, well, I took a relaxing bath and I finally realized I could just have my male Pokémon bathe Simon for me! Woohoo! Go brain power!
Anyway, Felicity and I decided we should wear casual clothes for her 'date.' She was wearing a white tee with blue jeans and I was wearing a black tee with white jeans. Felicity had a thin black jacket and I had a white one. We sure did share the same fashion taste.
I decided to wear my worn out black converse and Felicity wore some worn out gray converse. Either we were separated at birth or I just met my other half. How weird.
"Ready to meet your 'date?' I quoted my fingers at 'date.'
"Uh huh, should we just leave Simon here?" Felicity combed her fingers through her hair. I nodded since Simon was just sleeping peacefully, but we locked the door on our way, anyway.
"C'mon, it's nearly seven. We've only got a few minutes left. I don't want to break that promise." I dragged Felicity with me, but she ended up dragging me since I sucked at running. Well, I also did hate it back, so it was all good.
We made it with seconds to spare and to our surprise someone was waiting for us there. Actually, I think he was waiting for Felicity. The boy had freckles, a T-shirt, dark wash jeans, and he was wearing worn out sneakers. He was extremely pale and skinny, had the lightest brown hair, and he had pink eyes with green flecks?
He sure had funky eyes, but when he saw us his eyes widened and his face grew an awkward smile. "I'm guessing you're the girls my dad set you up with?" He asked.
We nodded. "Yep, I tagged along. I hope you don't mind, but she's Felicity and I'm Lisa." I introduced.
"Okay, well, I'm Daniel." He introduced. Well, looks like Felicity was going to enjoy herself. I waved her goodbye, but she looked like she wanted me to stay for a second, but her eyes deceived her because her pupils were larger. I knew that if you saw someone attractive your pupils grew larger and it grew smaller when you saw someone ugly.
"Bye, Fliss. I hope you enjoy your date. Don't forget about tomorrow! Sayonara." I waved and went back to the Pokémon Centre. When I got back Simon was wide awake and he looked like he'd been crying. Well, it looks like tomorrow was going to be a long day.
"Simon, go back to sleep." I went to bed shortly after, but I felt someone movie into my bed during the night. I assumed it was Felicity, but I didn't know she was heavier than me.
Drew's POV
May had already fallen twice into the cold water. She sure had a knack for being clumsy. Although, I would usually enjoy her clumsiness, my back was getting wet and cold. It was November, so snow could fall at any time. The water Pokémon were enjoying the ice cold water, though, they looked like they weren't even feeling the cold.
"Try not to fall into the water anymore." I smirked even, though, she couldn't see me.
"Do you think I'm trying to fall into the water?" I felt May shake me from behind. My balance slightly faltered, but I held on Dewgong pretty tightly.
"Right now you are." I said. I felt May stop abruptly.
"Whoops," was all she said. Leave it to her to not think about the consequences. Although, it was something intriguing about her, it was currently giving me a cold. If I'm lucky I won't get hypothermia and if May's even luckier she won't either.
"Just try not to fall in next time." I flicked my hair out of habit.
"I'd like to see you not fall!" She's started again.
"Okay, but if I don't fall for the rest of the way you have to be my slave for the rest of this task." I had a feeling this was going to be an easy task.
"Deal, but if you do fall, you have to be my slave for the rest of the task." I felt May's arms let go of me and I'm guessing she put them on her hips because she fell…
"Didn't I say not to fall?" I rolled my eyes. At least now I wasn't going to be as cold. I grabbed May's hand and put her in front of me. She wrapped her arms around Dewgong and I wrapped mine around her.
"Shut up." She huffed. Marina and Jimmy got tired of waiting for us a while ago, so they were farther ahead of us. I couldn't blame them. If I didn't have to wait for May I would've gone ahead too, probably.
May was annoying, but in a good way. I guess. "Just watch me win our bet." I said.
"Yeah, well, Dewgongs are slippery, so watch out!" May warned.
"That's why I'm holding onto you." I flicked my hair.
"Okay, then I'll let go," and just like that May let go of Dewgong. We both fell down into the water. Well, it looks like I lost the bet…
Hm, Drew is May's slave. What shall she make him do? :D
REVIEW! Just 2 chapters left and I would be super delighted to find out I made it to 400 reviews. Actually, I never thought I'd even make it to 200, so you guys can bet how happy I was when I found out I made it to 300! Oh, and I've got the next chapter done, so expect an on time review next week!
