Animals are Crossing, part 2

Fennekin opened her eyes blearily to see that she was sprawled out in a semi-forest area, a river to her right and a few scattered homes to her left.

"Huh," she thought out loud, standing up, "I thought there would be—"

"MORNING, SUNSHINE!" Frogadier exclaimed, jumping out of the river.

"OISHAONSRLJDN!" she shouted back, ninja-kicking the frog back into the water.

"Aiow…"

"Sorray for tha scare, mate," Buizel laughed nervously from the bank, inching away from her, "please daon't kill mua…"

"Where are we?" the fox asked, looking around again. A train track and station was northward of them, a bridge crossing the river to the east, a waterfall cascading down into a beach down south.

"Animal crossin'" he answered. "Can't find the othas, though."

"Why are we here again?"

"I told you guys, I have a dept!"

Frogadier (who had crawled out of the water), Fennekin, and Buizel looked over to see Reevee21, Quilava, and Lucario standing near them.

"…wait, where's Zoroark?" Quilava asked.

"Hey! You ruined our dramatic pictuuuuuuh…Zoroark, what are you doing?" the author asked as Zoroark approached them.

"I'm getting you bells, what does it look like I'm doing?!" she answered with a dozen or so varied items in her arms.

"Why don't you put those in your pockets?" Lucario deadpanned.

Zoroark glared as a cicada started crawling up her arm.

"..Oh. Right. We don't have pockets."

An hour after finding everyone later…

"I can swing my axe, axe, that is a fact, fact, I can swing my axe, axe!" Treeko sang while using said tool on a few trees, gathering wood.

Suddenly, he knocked a bee's nest out of the tree.

"Wha…?" he trailed as a huge swarm of the insects emerged from the cracked hive, enraged.

"…oh dear."

"Serperior, act like the constrictor you are and slam the net!" Charizard roared.

"But it's a BUG! It's all gross and limb-y and creepy and EEEEW!" the snake shrieked, coiled about five feet away from a grasshopper with a net in tail.

"AUUUUUUUUUUUUU—"Treeko screamed, being chased by a swarm of bees in the distance.

Five minutes and several stings later…

"Ooo…" Rotom gaped at the butterfly in Absol's paw.

"Very nice," he chuckled as it gently flapped its iridescent wings, "very nice."

"how does this work…?" Chestnaught wondered out loud, holding a fishing rod near the beach.

"Do you know how that works?" Luxio asked, fishing with him.

"…no."

"Oh, ye take the high road, and I'll take the low road, and I'll be in Scotland in the morrrrnin," Flygon sang in a Scottish accent, fishing as well, "but me and my true love shall never meet again, on the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loc—"

A sudden jerk on the rod sent him flying into the water with a shout. Kirlia looked over to see an empty spot, shrugged, and reeled in a sea bass.

Jesh, there are a lot of time skips in this chapter. ANYWAYS,

Buizel, Quilava, Aipom, and Lucario were taking a break from item-gathering at the coffee shop.

Suddenly, Treeko stumbled in and sat down next to them—completely covered head-to-toe in bee stings.

"Don't ask," he muttered as the waiter walked up to him.

"Hello, can I take your order?" the waiter, an Umbreon, asked.

"Yea…leaf cappuccino," he said.

"Leaf…cappuccino…okay! I'll be back!" he said, jotting something down on a notepad and ran off to the kitchen.

"We need a leaf—uh—Leaf Cappuccino!" he shouted to the cook.

"Okay! But isn't that considered cannibalism if a grass-type is drinking it?" the cook, a Leafeon, asked.

"…I have no idea," he shrugged.

It's almost over, just wait a little longer!

"You spent…100,000,000 bells…ON COLLECTIONS OF BUGS AND FISH?!" shouted Cyrus.

"Is that bad?" Reese answered meekly.

"YES, THAT'S A VERY BAD THING, WE'RE GONNA GO BROKE!" he shouted again, running in circles around the Re-Tail store—where about a thousand kinds of fish, insects, shells, fruits, fossils, and other various items were scattered about.

"But one of them left a nice note for you!" she piped, holding a letter.

Cyrus snatched it and read the following words:

Dear Sirs,

If, after observing the hodge-podge of items you have purchased, wish to refund the 100,000,000 bells spent, you are able to contact me via PM on Fanfiction (Reevee21). I am fully capable of refunding it…as soon as I get a Zelda game.

Your customer,

Reevee21

"Look at this butterfly! Isn't it pretty?" Reese cheered, holding the same iridescent butterfly Absol had captured earlier.

Percy: REE-VEE!
