After spending the 867 poké dollars and 70 cents on the operation, a real fancy dinner, a bus ticket, a new tie and about three Dr. Pellipers, I didn't really know what else I was going to spend the money on. I thought about what else I could buy at the time, but no ideas popped into my head.

...

...

...

Well, no ideas for me at least. I had one more duty that I felt needed to be fulfilled.

Off I strode, towards the dark side of the town, towards the local casino where I had to pay off a debt. I enter, pay the admission fee, and looked around for Emily. After two or so minutes of searching, I found her chatting to some Machops over near the bar. I waited for them both to finish their conversation, then it was my time to set the score.

"Greetings gentlemen." "Eh? What do ya want punk?" They replied. "May I ask about your previous conversation with Emily?" "That prick? Just another wimp who owes us money. She's almost paid it off too." "How much does she owe to you?" "Why do you want to know?" I open up my wallet to let them get the better picture.

EMILY'S POV

"Uhg, why did my mom have to be a hardcore gambler? I shouldn't have to pay all of this stupid money, but I suppose somebody has to lift the weight. And if it wasn't gonna be her, well I guess it's fucking gonna..." *BRING BRING!* "Who could that be?"

"Emily, don't hate me for this." A voice says through the phone. "What's wrong? Did you murder Tom?" "What? Hell no, just listen to me okay?" "Allright, what did you do?" "You don't have to worry about your mother's debt anymore, I paid it all off. All 7 000 poké." For a moment I thought that this was some sick joke, until he said 7 000 poké. Only me and the Machop knew the amount, so I then realised, he actually did it.

MARVIN'S POV

The phone goes silent for a minute, until I hear tears coming from the other end. "Why...*sob*...did you do that? I was supposed to pay it off." "I could see it in your eyes, you have been through so much pain. But not anymore. I wanted to free you from your chains." "But, but this is too much. Why me? I didn't do anything for you." "Come on, ya know that's a load of bullshit. You're helping me get with the girl of my dreams. That's worth more than any amount of money in the world to me. So don't thank me, thank yourself."

"But, but, but.." "No butts, butts are for shitting, not complaining." I hear a laugh emit from the phone short after my joke. "Beside, I've still got about 4 000 poké left for whatever I choose, so just spend the day your way." I hang up the phone after my final words. Hopefully she's happy now.

After another day at work slicing up chicken meat I decide to take a walk in the park before I go. I stand around the fountain, repeatedly tossing in coins and wishing for world peace. I know it won't ever come soon, but it's always nice praying for it. One more coin tosses into the fountain, before I feel a tap on my right shoulder. "Hmm? Who is th-" *SLAP!* a hand smacks me in my face before I can turn around fully. But before I even question who it was and why they did it, they wrap their arms around me and hug me tightly.

"You're an asshole, you know that? But you're also my very best friend." "That hurt you know Emily." "I'm glad it did."

"Thank you so much. I am angry at you, but I'm happy as well." "Just forget about it." "No, I am not going to forget how my best friend saved me."

"Want to make a wish?" I say handing her a coin. "Oh hell no. You're not spending one more penny on me you ass." She as pulling out a coin out of her pocket.

(AUTHOR'S NOTE: You may be wondering why she has pockets, well it's because she's wearing clothes. Why do Pokemon wear clothes? Because they have what is called a heating season. Heating season can happen randomly, but sometimes it's predictable. People say that they're "In heat" for slang. When a Pokemon goes in heat, they sprout private parts from themselfs. It explains how they can breed. All Pokemon, regardless of heating season have a butt, because everyone needs to excrete of course, but shops sell Pokemon clothes to cover themselfs up for heating season. And it appears Emily's season has begun.

There's only two ways for a Pokemon to get rid of their heating season. They can either wait it out for a month or two, or they can get rid of them by mating with another Pokemon. No matter what gender or species, it has always seemed to work.)

"Why do we even throw coins in here?" "What do you mean Emily?" "What's the point of making a wish if it won't come true?" "Well, I guess the wish wasn't for us." "Why?" "Maybe when we chuck a coin in a fountain, we don't get a wish for ourselves, but we made a wish for another who needed it most." "I guess that makes sense in a way."

"Since you asked me a question, can I ask you one?" "Sure, what would you like to know?" "How is the fire on top of your head not burning hot? Like when you hugged me I thought I might catch on fire. I am just curious." "Heh, it's...not fire, it's just my hair." "It's hair? But how does it look like fire and flow like fire?" "It just does that when I'm happy. When I'm sad my hair is still orange and glowing, but it droops down." "Hair based on emotions? Cool."

"Anyway, another reason I came here is because I'm ready for phase two, but the question is: Are you ready for it?" "Yes I am." "Well then, let's go."
