Chapter 19: Family?
N lead me to Cell's house, we arrived without incident. From there Cell, N, and I walked over to the Pokemon center and gave Nurse Joy our Pokeballs for healing. She took an hour to heal everyone, afterwards we split up with N.
Cell took me back to his house. His house was a large one, just like the other houses in the neighborhood. It had white walls and a red roof, it was a simple 4 sided house that felt more like a tower with a massive yard for a moat. That was what I could make out by combining what was left of my eyesight and my echolocation.
"Alright," said Cell in front of his house, turning to face me. "Keep quiet about the face that you're wanted by the Wizards okay? Just say that you're going to get escorted by me."
"Sure," I said. "Is there a way you want me to act?"
"No. Just be yourself. My mom is nice, so is my dad, and you're probably going to be annoyed by my little brothers."
"It's alright," I said. "It's probably better if I stayed in a room upstairs or something though."
"Why?"
"I'm probably going to end up mute, once I'm inside, because I have no idea what to say! By any chance, do you have any names for a Pokemon?"
"Why?" he asked.
"Eevee asked me to think of a name for her, but I can't think of one, and if I give her one, I have to name the rest of the team you know?"
"Right, well I'm sorry to say but I've got no names for you."
"It's okay." I put a hand up to my chin. I was out of ideas personally. I had to think of a name that would stick with Eevee even after she evolved. Same with Scyther, and Zorua. All I could think of were nicknames that would belong in some game. Like Z-fox, Z-Reaper, Z-Darkfox. And it seemed whatever I did started with a capital Z. Or I could spin the names around, naming Zorua, Eevee and zorua would be Scyther ,and so forth.
I breathed out through my nose and said,"Let's go."
He opened the door gingerly as if an Arceus would fly out with all his elemental plates.
Instead of them, two kids ran out the door and hugged Cell by his knees.
"Meet my twin brothers, Mike and Ike." Said Cell.
"Hi!" said one.
"Hi," said the other, more calmly.
Mike had grabbed Cell's right knee, they couldn't have been older than four. Ike was about the same hugging Cell's left knee.
And the most funny thing of all was that they sounded like a Cell on helium.
"Welcome!" said a lady walking out of the door.
I bowed a little and said," Sorry for the intrusion."
"Oh no, if you're Cell's friend, then you're our family!" she said, I could guess that she was Cell's mother. "Come on in!"
I could feel Cell's stare on me almost like he was expecting me to do something.
I walked straight down the path nervously. I was suddenly aware of each step I took and how I took them.
She stepped aside and let me through.
"You're blind right, are you going to be okay?" she asked.
"Don't worry, I'm not completely blind." I said. I didn't dare prove it though. Walking in, I could hear my shoes hit the floor and gave me a description of where I was.
I was in a living room. A long couch to my left, the seating side facing the same way I was.
Beside me on the wall were multiple windows. The couch was facing a TV on a simple shelf that seemed to be full of DVD's in cases. There were a set of stairs to my right. One set lead upwards. Beneath it a set of stairs went downward. Behind the wall, behind the T.V, was another room.
I walked down the living room, continuing towards the other room.
"Are you sure you're okay?" asked Cell's mom.
"Cyclops!" Shouted Ike, who had ran in front of me. "You have the same goggles as him, but black!"
"No way, you have his goggles in black! Do you shoot laser's out of your eyes too?" asked Mike.
I turned around at Cell for directions. His aura read, deal with it.
"Yeah, I fire laser's out of my eyes!" I said.
"Show me!" said Mike.
"Yeah show us!" said Ike.
"Well I'd destroy a house if I did." I joked. I looked at Cell's mom for directions. Knowing she couldn't see me, she smiled softly, or so said her aura. I guess I was doing the right thing.
"Go ahead, make yourself at home. I'll call down my husband!" said Cell's mom.
I decided to do as she told me and I sat down on the couch. She walked up the stairs.
Mike and Ike flew beside me, and Cell sat beside Ike, to my left.
"Are you sure you're okay?" asked Cell.
"Yeah," I said. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah don't worry." Said Cell.
"Don't worry?" I asked.
"C'mon show us your super powers!" said Ike.
"I only use them when there's evil." I said.
"For Justice!" said Cell.
"For Justice!" sung Mike and Ike together.
"Quite the lively family," I said with a soft smile.
His aura wavered sadly.
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"Oh um... Nothing," he said, telling a lie. I shrugged and said, "You know Cell I do have other powers."
"Right, right, just worried about you," said Cell, in code, taking my hint.
"Show us your other powers!" said Mike and Ike!
"Ike, Mike! Why don't you to bring down your pokemon and show them to Cyclops!" said Cell.
"Yeah!" They both shouted without a moment's hesitation, running up the stairs, both of thier arms in the air.
"Are you okay? I mean your family is a mess," Said Cell with a sympathetic sigh.
I flicked my hand dismissively," I'm alright. Besides, it's not like I really knew my own mom anyway. She would come and go! Cell, Mike and Ike, huh?"
"What? My dad decided on my name. My mom chose the other two. I would've named them salt and pepper."
He smiled like that was something funny. I shared his smile.
"Welcome home son!" bellowed a deep voice, that sounded exactly like Cell's but slowed down, from the stairs.
"For Justice!" shouted Mike and Ike from the stairs.
"For Justice!" bellowed a voice form the stairs. It sounded more like a real hero.
"For Justice!" said Cell's mom.
Me and Cell exchanged looks. "For Justice," we both shouted, our right fists raised.
From the stairs came Cell's dad, a taller more fit version of cell. The family flooded into the room and presented themselves to me. Cell stood up and stood beside the family.
"Welcome to our humble home!" said Cell's dad.
I smiled softly, they're all just like Cell, lively with a friendly aura.
And so the day wore on, normally when was the last time that happened? And that's when it struck me a name for Eevee! But before I gave her, her name, I would have to make a name for everyone else.
{Setsuna Damius note: So I'm still working on my 'secret' project. Don't know how it'll turn out though. It's something more than just a fanfiction or a book, it's not much though, I guess. Whatever! School has already started! *sigh* And that means I have to write slower. I was planning to hurry this up a little, and get through this faster but that's not possible is it? (I was honestly, was planning to go straight through this and ignore everything else for now.
The names I thought of so far were:
Hikari, for Eevee. Sounds nice. But, it's a little too hard on an English person's tongue, you know? At the moment, I'm planning to go with Jas, short for Jaswinder. Zorua, can be Noir. Scyther, can be Loid, kind of short for Loyal. Kinda. Yeah, that's not working. Scyther can be Steel. I mean once he gets evolved that's steel right? So that means I need to find three more nicknames.
You know I just realized something. I noticed how stupid I am. Remember how I was talking about Rouoku's list of Pokemon before, in an older note. Remember how I was saying that I wanted to have an even gendered team. If you don't, you can go ahead and skip this since this is kind of considered spoiler. I just realized… I already had planned out three guys on Roukou's team. (I seriously just now realized that, and for some reason I was thinking there were only two. But I realized I already chose three and for some reason Iwas planning to make Shaymin *I know he's genderless* but I was planning to be more of a guy. Truth to be told, my mind had completely failed me and forgot how to count characters by their gender. (And I'm in an advanced math, this is depressing.) Maybe I should just go see that danjou video, then come back, that should refresh my mind . . (Japanese meme, a video literally about a student telling a teacher that there's a female student missing in the classroom. The teacher announces a guy-girl pattern for the students to line up…. It's hard to explain.) ANYWAY SCRAP SHAYMIN GO FROSSLASS . Y~E~S ! ANYWAY! LONG STORY SHORT! Shaymin has been evicted!
Man this chapter is boring. BORING! I need to jazz it up. (Stares at Latios) GO GET 'IM…
