Moemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia
Chapter 7
"Come on, Kellyn!" Keith's shouts woke me from my nice, peaceful little dreams of soft clouds, and he dragged me out of soft bed, and onto the hard wood floor.
"Ouch…" I muttered, standing up, rubbing my head. "You didn't have to do that…"
"Come on, dude! Today's the graduation ceremonies!" Keith exclaimed, and suddenly, I was all business.
"Crap, I totally forgot!" I exclaimed, pulling on my school uniform. Today was the day we graduated from the Ranger Academy. I don't know how I can both forget that and oversleep, but I guess I did.
Keith and I went at top speed out of the dorm and ran towards the school, entering just in time, panting hard. It had been about a month since our internship at Vientown, and today was the day we would choose our posts.
Keith and I stood in line with the rest of the students, Rythmi shooting us a disapproving look, while Petal just smirked.
I zoned out through most of the principals' speech, until I heard someone scream out. We looked out at the basement door, and saw two Tangrowth emerge, enraged. The Tangrowth wore blue shirts and blue skirts, and they had wild, messy blue hair down their backs and red eyes.
I charged forwards immediately at one of the Tangrowths, and Keith ran up to the other one. I released the capture disk, which shot forth at the grass moemon. The styler began looping around the Tangrowth, enraging it.
Tangrowth threw itself at the line, breaking it, causing me to have more trouble. I tried again and again, but it just wasn't working. I chanced a glance over at Keith, and saw he was having similar troubles. I then realized that I needed to not go for the torso.
I shot out the capture disk at the Tangrowth, but this time it wrapped around her legs. As the Tangrowth charged at the line again, I moved the capture disk up to the neck and looped around her. Tangrowth reached her hands up to grab the line, but the disk shot around the torso and performed several loops, managing to catch it.
"Alright!" Keith exclaimed, smiling, having completed the capture right beside me. "We managed to catch the Tangrowth!"
"Ahem." One of the teachers said, coming up to us. He wore a violet vest and black pants, and styled blonde hair. "Congratulations, students."
"Thank you, Mr. Kaplan." Keith said, bowing.
"Alright, now, we shall move on to the ceremonies!" The principal said, smiling. The rest of the ceremonies went pretty well without a hitch, and soon it was time for us to ship out.
"Keith, you're going out all the way to Fiore?" Rythmi asked, surprised. "Wow…"
Ryhtmi, Petal, Keith and I were relaxing out on the grass before we moved out to our posts.
"Hey, it's not that bad." Keith said, laughing. "I mean, you're going out to the Ranger Union, right?"
"Yeah." Rythmi said, nodding. "At least we'll be far enough away from you."
"Ouch…" Keith said, frowning. "Alright, what about you, Kellyn?"
"I'm heading out to Vientown." I said, smiling. "Petal, what about you?"
"I'm going to Vientown with you!" Petal said, smiling.
"What?" I exclaimed. "Seriously?"
"Yep!" Petal said. "We'll be living in the same town!"
"Oh…" I said, unable to believe it. We'll be with each other forever? I feared she would leave to somewhere far away and we'd never see each other.
"Alright, let's go!" Petal said. The four of us stood up, and an envelope fell out of my bag.
"What's that?" Petal asked, reaching for the envelope, opening. "Oh, it's a letter. From a girl."
I could already hear the venom in her voice, and at that point I was truly afraid. I knew exactly who the note was from, and it terrified me.
"Dear Kellyn." Petal read aloud. "I'm so happy! I moved to the Almia region with mom and dad, so I can come visit you whenever I want! We're staying in Chicole Village, so just come on by! Love, Haley."
"Interesting…" Petal said, frowning. "So, who is Haley? A childhood friend?"
"No, it's nothing like that!" I exclaimed.
"Well, let's head over to Chicole Village, and see just who she is." Petal said, smiling sweetly.
Petal and I, saying our final good-byes to Rythmi and Keith, headed down the bridge to go find Chicole village.
We reached it soon enough, the wooden buildings looking amazing in comparison to the grass.
"Okay, so according to the note, this is the address…" Petal said, walking to one of the houses, located on a farm.
Petal headed out and into the building, calling out Haley.
I reluctantly followed after her, knowing what would happen.
"Kellyn!" The super high-pitched screech of a voice belonging to the little girl, Petal just watching.
The little girl tackled me, knocking me to the ground, smiling. She had honey colored hair down to her neck, and blue eyes. She wore a white shirt and a blue skirt, and a triumphant expression on her face as she sat atop me.
"Ah, so you like the DFC lolies." Petal said, smirking. "Should have known."
"Haley, meet Petal." I sighed. "Petal, this is my little sister, Haley."
"Oh." Petal said, sort of put in her place. "Hello, Haley! I'm your brother's girlfriend."
"No fucking way." Haley said, shocked. "There's no way my idiot brother could get a girlfriend."
"Well, he did." Petal said, smiling. "So, Haley, can I ask you something?"
"Oh, sure, what is it?" Haley asked, smiling.
"Um, can you get off?" I asked.
"Shut up for now." Haley said, hitting me in the stomach. "So, What is it?"
"Is there anything you have on your brother?"
"Her body…" I answered, being responded to with another sock in the stomach.
"You mean, what sort of dirt do I have on him?" Haley asked.
"Yeah." Petal said, nodding, sitting down in one of the chairs. Can you tell me anything I can use against him, like, I don't know, past mistakes he's made?"
"Oh, heck yeah!" Haley said. "What do you want to know about?"
"Well, anything!" Petal said. "Embarrassing stuff."
"Oh, he slept with a stuffed bunny until he was ten." Haley said. "Stuff like that?"
"Oh, yes." Petal said, nodding.
"You two can't talk to each other!" I shouted, Haley hitting me once more.
"Alright, I've got a ton of stuff to tell you!" Haley said, laughing. "But that's all for later. For now, I got to tell something to Kellyn."
"What?" I asked.
"Well, the farm that we have, I got to pick the name! So I decided to call it Partner Farm!" Haley said, smiling. "Any moemon you make your partner can relax here!"
"Thanks, Haley." I said, smiling. "Now, can you get up?"
I was met with a third punch to the gut.
"Alright, let's get back to our conversation." Petal said, smiling.
So, that's terrifying, those two talking.
