Spells and Louds
Chapter 302: What's up Great Lake?
(Apartment Casagrande. Is that what they call it?)
Ronnie Anne and Sid are both by the fire escape tossing some pieces of hotdog to passing Pidgey's and Taillow's.
"So, they're coming here?" asked Sid.
"Yup, all we gotta do is just wait and see what they're big surprise is. Is your mom still here?" asked Ronnie Anne.
"She still is, no clue why she has to stay and wait for a while though" said Sid.
"You got me, Lincoln and Jordan said it's a big surprise and they want her to see it" replied Ronnie Anne.
Then CJ comes out. "Hey girls, abuela said that she has some burritos and tacos ready."
"Cool, we'll be there soon CJ" replied Ronnie Anne.
"Sure thing, I'll make sure Lalo and Sergio don't eat too much of it" replied CJ.
"Rawrk! Try and stop me!" squawked Sergio.
"I got this CJ" said Carlota. She whistles in her Pokemon, Cottonee.
The small, flying grass-type Pokémon flies around Sergio, therefore freaking him out. "Rawrk! Pillows are alive! Pillows are alive! Not Natural!" He then flies out of the apartment.
Carlota smirks. "Works every time!" She then hugs her Cottonee. "And you are just precious!"
"I still don't understand why Sergio doesn't like the Pokemon in the area, they're just like any other animal. If animals had superpowers" said CJ.
"Let Sergio be Sergio, at least Lalo is warming up to them" Carlota looks towards Lalo who is fast asleep next to Herdier. They both wake up and then head to CJ who lets them eat one taco and one burrito.
"I like seeing Lalo make new friends, especially if it's a dog who is a better guard than him" said CJ. "No offense Lalo."
Lalo just barks happily, he didn't seem to mind just as long as he has another canine friend,
Then they see Carl following his dad. "Dad, why can't I have a Pokemon of my own?"
"Son we talked about this, you have to at least have a Pokemon that can actually like you and recently all the things you've done isn't making them like you" said Tio Carlos.
"But …. But …. What if I can make one like me? Can I keep it then?" asked Carl.
"We'll see, if you can make one actually like you. Might I remind you what happened last time you tried to get a Pokemon to like you" said Tio Carlos.
(Flashback.)
Carl attempts to make friends with a Geodude, but he ends up getting chased.
Carl attempts to make friends with Houndour, but he ends up getting chased by the rest of the pack.
Carl attempts to make friends with an Aron, only to be chased by its big brother Lairon.
Carl attempts to make friends with some Shinx, but they get scared by him and he meets their mother Luxray.
Carl attempts to make friends with Timburr, but he had no clue this guy already has a human partner and then gets chased off by the Pokémon's human friend and a Conkeldurr.
Carl attempts to make friends with a clutch of Fletchling, but he goes toe-to-toe with mama, Talonflame.
And finally he tries to make friends with a Grubbin, but it digs underground and doesn't come back.
(End flashback.)
"I still have no clue why they even avoid you, but I do have my theories they may have heard some rumors of all the mean things you have been doing lately" said Tio Carlos.
"Oh come on! How can they know what I've down?" asked Carl.
They then spot Herdier talking to a Chatot and Murkrow by the window, they then fly off.
"Oh, so they know by our Pokemon. That doesn't seem so bad" said CJ.
Carl is shocked by this. "Oh come on!"
"Well I'd like to stay and deal with this conflict, but I have to go to my work. Let's go Natu" said Tio Carlos. His Pokemon then hops into his shoulder and they walk out of the apartment.
Carl sighs. "Dang it! How am I gonna get my won Pokemon partner now?!"
"Calm down Carl, it's gonna take some time for that to happen, plus you're not the only one without a Pokemon. Carlito doesn't have one too, remember?" said Carlota.
"Yeah take it easy Carl" CJ then checks his watch. "I'll be back, I have to go and check on my buddy" CJ grabs some Tacos and Burritos and heads back to his room and he shares them with his Pokemon, Slakoth.
Then their Abuela comes in with a broken toilet plunger. "Why does Mr. Nakamura's dog always end up in the toilet? This is very confusing, at least I had you with me for backup." Abuela Rosa then scratches the belly of her Pokemon Clefairy.
Then the doors to two bedrooms open and coming out is Bobby and his mom Maria.
"Okay, time to go and take Abuelo's place" He puts on his apron. "Come on Tangela! Let's go!" His little Pokemon follows him out of the apartment.
"Okay, got my coffee and all my things, time to get to work" Maria leaves the apartment with her Bulbasaur.
Carl sighs. "Everyone in this family has a Pokemon, all but me."
"And let's not forget your little brother Carlitos" Frida comes in with Carlitos and her Pokemon Smeargle. "Why don't you two play together while Smeargle and I start on some work?" Frida then leaves the Apartment with her Smeargle.
"But mom! I don't do baby stuff!" groaned Carl.
"At least try and bond with him, you two have a lot in common. I think" said Carlota.
"Ha, ha. Whatever sis" Carl sits in front of Carlito and watches him play with his stuffed pig.
Carl has been going around and he sees lots of the people in the apartment have their own Pokemon.
Becca Chang has a Tyrunt.
Stanley Chang has a Magnemite.
We already know Adelaide has a Poliwhirl.
Mr. Nakamura has a Pokemon friend for his dog Nelson, a Growlithe.
Cory has a Pachirisu.
Alexis has a Totodile.
Mrs. Flores has a Pancham.
Mrs. Kernicky has a Sawk, perfect for helping with her yoga and tennis and whatever sport she does. How is this old lady capable of doing this?!
Margarita actually got a Pokemon friend, Lotad which was last week and now is a Lombre.
Miranda has a friend for her Saint Bernard Ninja, her Pokemon friend is a Snubull.
Georgia has a Mareep.
Carl was the only one with no Pokemon at all, well next to Carlitos.
They hear a knock on the door, so Carl answers it. "Hey Carl, is Sid here?" asked Becca.
Carl sees Tyrunt at Becca's feet. "Yeah, she's at the fire escape with Ronnie Anne."
"Thanks Carl" Becca comes into the room with her Pokemon.
Then they hear a knock on the door, Ronnie Anne and Sid make their way back into the apartment and to the door with their Pokemon Dodrio and Kabutops.
They both open the door and see it was Lincoln, Linka, Jordan and Luna. With their Pokemon Absol, Arcanine, Lopunny and Loudred.
"Hey guys" said Lincoln and the others.
"We're so glad you made it!" said Sid.
"Come on in guys, Abuela made some Tacos and Burritos" said Ronnie Anne.
Then Rosa comes out of the kitchen with another plate. "And I'm still making more." Behind her Clefairy is using her psychic powers to carry three more plates. "Why thank you very much Clefairy."
They all grab some burritos and tacos. "So, what's the big woof for having me here?" asked Becca.
Her Tyrunt goes to Absol and nudges him. Lincoln chuckles. "Wow, does everyone in this apartment have Pokemon now?"
"They all do, have you seen any of them?" asked Sid.
"We have, Bobby and his Tangela while Lori brought with her Larvesta" replied Linka.
"We saw your Tia Frida with her Smeargle, I'm sure they'll find some inspiration for some new artwork" said Lincoln.
"And we did see Margarita with a Lombre, she'll be going fiesta when that guy turns into a Ludicolo" said Luna.
"Well, everyone has their own Pokemon depending on how they make friends with em or they're personality" replied Ronnie Anne.
"By the way, where the heck is Adelaide?" asked Jordan.
"She went out earlier with her Poliwhirl. She might be back soon" said Sid.
Then they see Adelaide back up and enter the room with her Poliwhirl. "Guys, what was that outside?"
"That was the surprise we got for you guys to see" said Jordan. She then whistles. "Come on in Dominic!"
The Indoraptor then enters the room, this shocks all of them. "Dios Mio! What is that thing?!" yelled Abuela. Carl freaks out and hides behind the couch.
"Oh my gosh!" screamed Carlota. She then takes selfie with it and then backs up and hides next to Abuela.
Sergio flies in. "Rawrk! What'd I miss?" Then he sees the large dinosaur. "And I'm out!" he flies off.
CJ comes out of his room with his Slakoth. "What's going on?" Then he sees the Dinosaur. "Cool! And I thought we weren't allowed to go and see actual dinosaurs!"
Lalo hides behind Herdier seeing this creature.
Becca, Ronnie Anne and Sid are shocked seeing this. "What the heck is a Dinosaur doing here?!" asked Becca.
Dominic sniffs the burritos and eats some of them. "Guys, this is Dominic. He's not like any dinosaur on Isla Cretacia" said Jordan.
"What are you talking about?!" asked Ronnie Anne.
"Now that I see it, he doesn't seem like any dinosaur I've seen in books" said Sid.
"Yeah, he has some raptor parts and some large predator add-ons. What is he again?" said Adelaide.
Carlitos waddles his way to the Indoraptor. "Carlitos no! Come back!" yelled Abuela.
Dominic lowers his head and lets the baby Casagrande hug him. "Looks like mothering you paid off, you're no longer the vicious weapon everyone fears" said Jordan as she hugs him.
They were all surprised that this scary looking dinosaur wasn't so dangerous.
"Huh, I guess it's not dangerous at all" said Rosa.
Carlota goes closer and takes another selfie with it, and this time with CJ photo bombing from behind.
Carl also comes out of hiding, but he's still freaked out by this creature.
"Alright, can someone tell me what the heck is going on?" asked Becca.
"I think its best we all sit down for this one" said Lincoln.
They all take their seats and listen to what this creature is and how it became Jordan's companion.
"Wow, that was really nice of you to save him!" said Adelaide.
"I guess he matches your rough, dangerous, intimidating, scary, dominant, leader-like, determined, undaunted, relentless and caring nature. Wow I just described so many things about you" said Sid.
"Yup, that's all the things that makes this girl the one I love" Lincoln kisses her cheek making Jordan giggle and Dominic chuckle with Carlitos on his back.
"Well, he seems friendly enough. He actually looks kinda cool" said Carlota.
"So now you got a ride which is actually your friend and yet you treat him like you baby" said Ronnie Anne.
"Just as I treat Ajax" replied Jordan.
Rosa comes out of the kitchen with a large bowl of Tamales and places it onto the table for Dominic to eat it. "He seems really friendly and Carlitos likes him very much. How much can he eat? He eats more than Lalo, Sergio and Hector combined!"
"Let's just say he can eat double they can eat" said Jordan.
Becca goes around Dominic and looks to his body structure. "Well for a prototype he seems very healthy and very strong. I can tell he can move faster than any normal raptor based dinosaur and can probably take down even the toughest predators. The DNA of a Velociraptor and the Indominous Rex, this makes him probably the ultimate predator on earth."
"But not the multiverse, that role has been taken by the Primal Zerg" replied Lincoln.
"So, he can't be let go on Cretacia Island?" asked Adelaide.
"Sorry kid, but if he takes one step their chances he might go feral and start hunting" replied Luna.
"At least he'll be safe here with Jordan. You are one good caretaker for this big guy" said Becca.
"Thanks, he means a lot to me and to my family. He's officially apart of my family and to those he can trust" said Jordan.
"And yet for some reason he hates Boomer, like a lot" replied Linka.
Becca then touches his head. "It could be that he finds him a threat. Has he done any bad things to any of you?"
Lincoln and Linka recall the incident on the Royal Fortress. "Yeah, Boomer did do some crazy and bad stuff recently."
"Well that explains a lot. Boomer must be enemy number one to him, the dude should be lucky he can still keep breathing" replied Luna.
Soon Sid and Ronnie Anne also go near the dinosaur and it seemed friendly towards them, CJ was even given a lift next to Carlitos.
Carl tries to approach but Dominic looks to him and growls. "What the heck is wrong with that thing?!"
"First off that's a him! And secondly I think he senses your trouble" replied Jordan. She then gets in front of Dominic. "Easy boy, easy. Do not make mama angry okay? I know he's a bad kid, but just calm down and he might not do any wrong, but be cautious, Can you do that for me Dominic?"
The Indoraptor calms down and goes back to letting the others interact with him.
"Carl, I think you should go and play with your trains. I don't think it's safe for to be here" said Rosa.
"Ugh! Fine, Komodo dragons are cooler than dinosaurs anyway" Carl heads back to his room.
"Sorry about Carl. He's been on edge since he doesn't have a Pokemon" said Carlota.
"That's his deal? Doesn't he see his baby bro doesn't have one either?" asked Luna.
"He's just upset that all the Pokemon don't seem to trust him, and we know why" said CJ.
"All of our Pokemon send gossip about everything Carl has been doing and it spreads to the other Pokemon around the city" said Ronnie Anne.
"Though I believe the gossip started when Lalo made friends with Herdier" said Rosa. "They are good friends and Lalo has seen many things around the house along with Sergio."
"I guess that explains a lot. So, for Carl to gain a Pokemon friend is for him to at least change his ways and become someone better" said Lincoln.
"That's not gonna be an easy thing for him to do. It'll be probably a year or two before he can change into someone better" said Ronnie Anne.
"Not wrong with that" replied Carlota.
Becca then looks at the leg structure of the Indoraptor. "How fast can he go?"
"Well, he seems to be faster than Lincoln's Vulture Bike and that thing can outrace a Formula-1" said Jordan. "He's fast on all fours, but faster when he's bipedal."
"Well then, might we test that here in the city?" asked Becca. The others smiled hearing that.
"Well, I don't see why not. What about you big guy?" Jordan looks to Dominic. The Indoraptor roars. "That's a yes people!"
Ronnie Anne looks to her Dodrio. "Let's see if he can outpace my Dodrio."
"We have the Vulture, we can see if he can outpace my ride again" said Lincoln.
They all agree and head outside. "Oh, I think Hector will like this one!" said Rosa.
"Then it's a good thing we got some Burst drones to watch them from above!" said Linka.
"You think the rest of the apartment wants to see this?" asked CJ.
"Let's find out!" said Sid.
(Skip, hours later.)
Everyone in the Apartment is cheering them on as the starting line is the Mercado.
Rosa gets ready with her red ascot in hand. "This will be the starting point for all of you, race all the way to the park and then come back here to the Mercado and then we'll see who is the fastest!"
Becca places some speed trackers onto Dodrio, the Vulture bike and Dominic. "So we can see just how fast each of you are."
"Lisa would be stoked if this was happening, and maybe Lynn" said Luna.
"This is going to be awesome! It's like watching a horse race, only their not horses!" said Hector.
"Kinda reminds me of when Ford and Ferrari were racing against each other, I was there at that race watching" said Vito.
"Even though that dinosaur is scary, I kinda feel excited about this big race their doing!" said Bobby.
Lori uses her phone to record this. "I'm sure everyone will be literally excited when they see this, mostly the guys at FutureTech."
"Woohoo! Let's get this race started!" said CJ.
Frida and Smeargle start painting the start of the race. "Now all we have to do is wait for them to come back and I can use my camera to take a photo finish!
"I got money on the three headed bird!" said Sergio. Lalo barks and has his treats betted on the bike. Carl watches from his window the whole thing.
"Show them who's faster Ronnie Anne!" cheered Sid.
Lincoln revs up his bike, Ronnie Anne's Dodrio squawks and Jordan's raptor growls.
"You girls ready?!" asked Lincoln.
Jordan and Ronnie Anne have determined looks. "Let's do this thing!" said Ronnie Anne.
Dominic roars into the air. "That means he's gonna make you all eat his dust!"
They all look ahead and see Rosa raising the ascot. "On your mark! Get set! Vamanos!"
Lincoln's Vulture speeds off, Dodrio starts running and Dominic leaps over Rosa and catches up.
"Wow! Too close" said Rosa.
Everyone cheers and watches to see, which one is faster!
Spoiler alert: I'm sure it was the Indoraptor.
To be continued …..
A/N: And another successful visit in Great Lake City, and perhaps Carl will find his Pokemon friend. Someday. If you guys got any idea on which Pokemon is good for him, then just PM me. And I trust that the Indoraptor is faster than a Dodrio and a Vulture Bike, it's an apex predator with two unique DNA genes. Leave a Review and tell me what you all think.
