Just Another Day
The next morning in the boys' hotel room, Lincoln, Clyde, Bobby, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, Butters, Trent, and the Eds were all sleeping on their king-sized bed, while Leonard was sleeping in a chair. Soon, some knocking was heard at their door, waking them up. Cartman groggily climbs out of the bed, walks over to the door, and opens it to reveal Lynn Jr and Lana standing in the hallway.
"Do you...have any idea...what time it is?" asked Cartman in a cranky voice.
"It's six in the morning." said Lynn Jr in a non chalant voice.
"What do you want?" asked Cartman.
"I'm here to get Lincoln." said Lynn. Just then, Lincoln walks over next to Cartman and looks at Lynn and Lana.
"What are you two doing here?" asked Lincoln.
"It's time for your morning workout." said Lynn.
"And I want to get an early start on working on that Starmobile." said Lana. Lincoln yawns and stretches his arms.
"I'm guessing that if I don't, you'll tell Ms. Dendra that I'm slacking off?" asked Lincoln.
"Bingo." said Lynn with a smirk. Lincoln lets out a sigh of resignation.
"Fine." said Lincoln. "Let me get dressed first, then we'll get breakfast, and then we'll get started."
"Okay." said Lynn Jr.
"Now get outta here and let me sleep." said Cartman as he turns to head back to bed. Thinking back to yesterday, Lynn walks over to Cartman while his back was turned and gives him an atomic wedgie.
"That was for the song yesterday, tubby." said Lynn. Cartman dislodges his underwear, gives Lynn a cold stare, and hops back into the bed while the other boys were laughing at him.
"Shut up, you guys." said Cartman as he puts his head back on his pillow. After Lincoln got dressed, he steps out into the hallway and closes the room door behind him. Suddenly, Lana jumps onto Lincoln's back.
"What's going on?" asked Lincoln.
"Just adding more weight to your workout." said Lynn.
"And you haven't given me a piggyback ride in months." said Lana.
"And whose fault is that?" asked Lincoln. Lynn and Lana looked away with guilty expressions. After that, Lincoln and Lynn started to jog over to a restaurant to get breakfast. After they ate, Lynn had Lincoln jog over to the Team Star base so Lana could get started on the Starmobile. As they headed down the trail, Lincoln sees a Tera Den nearby.
"What do you think's in there?" asked Lana as she looks at it.
"After I drop you off at the Team Star base and finish my workout, I'll head back to it and check it out." said Lincoln. They continue down the trail until they finally reach the base. Lincoln jogs over to the Starmobile garage and sets Lana down in front of it.
"Thanks, Lincoln." said Lana as she walks over to a tool chest and starts looking through it. After that, Lynn had Lincoln do the same workout he did yesterday morning. A couple hours later, Lincoln finished and was drinking from a water bottle. Once his thirst was quenched, he gets up to see Naranja Mela in front of him, looking at him with a smirk.
"Hey, cutie." said Naranja Mela, making Lincoln blush.
"Hi, Mela." said Lincoln.
"Working out?" asked Naranja Mela.
"Yeah." said Lincoln. "Ms. Dendra wanted me to do more exercising."
"And she has me making sure he does." said Lynn with a smile. Naranja Mela looks at Lynn.
"Who are you?" asked Naranja Mela.
"This is one of my sisters. Her name's Lynn." replied Lincoln.
"Oh." said Naranja Mela. She looks at the Starmobile garage and sees Lana working on the Starmobile.
"That's another of my sisters. Her name's Lana." said Lincoln.
"Does she even know anything about fixing cars and engines?" asked Naranja Mela.
"She's an expert on that sort of stuff." said Lincoln.
"I see. So, what are you gonna do now?" asked Naranja Mela.
"I saw a Tera Den close by that I want to check out." said Lincoln. "Maybe I'll find a Pokemon I haven't caught yet."
"Oh, well have fun with that." said Naranja Mela before kissing him on the cheek, making him blush, and Lynn and Lana snicker.
"Better hope Iono and Ronnie Anne don't find out about that." said Lynn. Naranja Mela smirks as she pulls out a Rotom Phone with a Team Star insignia on it and brings up a video and plays it.
"Yeah, I know about that dinner date you had." said Naranja Mela as she shows Lincoln and Lynn her Rotom Phone's screen. Lincoln watches the video and was shocked to see that someone recorded the dinner that he, his friends, and family had yesterday, including the parts where Iono and Ronnie Anne kissed him, and the food fight the two had.
"Someone recorded that and put it online?" asked Lincoln.
"Yep." said Naranja Mela. Lincoln and Lynn notice that the video has gotten a lot of views and comments.
"Is this video that popular?" asked Lincoln.
"What did you expect?" asked Naranja Mela. "One of the most popular livestreamers here in Paldea kissing a boy and getting into a food fight with some other girl over said boy was bound to get a lot of views." Lincoln looks away with guilt.
"I hope Iono doesn't get some bad feedback from this." said Lincoln. "And I also hope Ronnie Anne doesn't have a lot of Iono fans out to get her."
"Ronnie Anne's a tough girl." said Lynn. "She can handle a bunch of geeks."
"Yeah, but still hoping she'll be okay." said Lincoln. After that, he and Lynn head back to the Tera Den and enter it. When they were inside, they see a crystallized, purple, bipedal Pokemon with winglike protrusions on the sides of its head, along with two gems for eyes, and a red one on its chest. On its head was a bunch of crystal flowers. Lincoln takes out his Rotom Phone and points it at the Pokemon.
"Sableye, the Darkness Pokemon. It dwells in the darkness of caves. It uses its sharp claws to dig up gems to nourish itself." said the Rotom Phone.
"I seen those flowers on its head before, so I know it's Tera Type is grass." said Lincoln. He takes out a pokeball and throws it, releasing his Skeledirge.
"Get it, Lincoln." said Lynn. Lincoln nods and looks at the Sableye.
"Skeledirge, use Torch Song!" said Lincoln. Skeledirge stands up on his hind legs as the fire bird on his nose extends a pole out of the bottom of it, making it look like a microphone. Skeledirge roars into it like he's singing, making the fire bird soar at the Sableye, growing in size as it does, and hits it, causing a fiery explosing, and doing super effective damage and more to it, thanks to his Charcoal. A surge of energy flows up from Skeledirge.
"What's up with Skeledirge?" asked Lynn.
"Torch Song increases his special attack power everytime he uses it." said Lincoln.
"That sounds handy." said Lynn. The Sableye responds by floating at Skeledirge and strikes it with a hand that was surrounded by black energy, doing super effective damage, and making him drop his Charcoal.
"I think that was Knock Off." said Lincoln.
"What's that?" asked Lynn.
"A dark type move that can knock an object a Pokemon may be holding away from it." said Lincoln. "And dark type moves are very effective against ghost type Pokemon, and Skeledirge is part one."
"So what now?" asked Lynn.
"We keep battling!" said Lincoln. "At least Skeledirge still got the power up from Torch Song."
"That's the spirit!" said Lynn. All of a sudden, Sableye sinks into the ground and pops up behind Skeledirge. It then hits Skeledirge, doing super effective damage.
"Cheap shot!" said Lynn.
"Skeledirge, use Flamethrower!" said Lincoln. Skeledirge turns around and hits Sableye with a large stream of fire, doing super effective damage. Sableye responds by releasing streams of energy from its eyes, hitting Skeledirge, doing super effective damage.
"That Sableye's tough!" said Lynn.
"It may be tough, but not unbeatable!" said Lincoln. "Skeledirge! Hit it with another Torch Song!" Skeledirge does so, and Sableye's crystal skin and flowers suddenly shatter.
"Now's your chance, Lincoln!" said Lynn. Lincoln quickly pulls out an empty pokeball from his backpack and throws it at the Sableye, hitting it, and sucking it in. The ball wiggles a few times before clicking, indicating a successful capture.
"Yes! I caught Sableye!" said Lincoln. The cavern suddenly glows brightly and he and Lynn find themselves back outside. To their surprise, they see their family and friends, looking at them.
"There you two are." said Lori.
"So, you were already taking on the Pokemon in that Tera Den?" asked Stan.
"Yeah, it was a Sableye." said Lincoln. Sableye's pokeball suddenly vanishes to storage. Lincoln sees two Big Mushrooms and some berries and picks them up.
"What's Sableye like?" asked Kyle. Lincoln takes out his Rotom Phone and looks up Sableye's information.
"Sableye's part ghost type and part dark type." said Lincoln, getting Lucy's attention.
"Ghosts and darkness are two of my favorite things." said Lucy, making everyone look at her with creeped-out looks.
"Anyway, Sableye's a girl, she knows Scratch, Leer, Astonish, Shadow Sneak, Fake Out, Disable, Detect, Night Shade, Fury Swipes, Knock Off, Quash, Shadow Claw, Hex, Aerial Ace, Foul Play, and Snarl. She has the Stall ability which makes her always attack last." said Lincoln. Just then, he felt someone hugging him from behind. He looks and blushes when he sees Naranja Iono.
"Hi, Linky!" said Naranja Iono.
"Hey, Iono!" said Lincoln. Ronnie Anne walks over and pulls Lincoln out of the hug, making Naranja Iono growl at her.
"So, when are you gonna take on that Titan Pokemon you told me about yesterday?" asked Naranja Iono.
"Just waiting for Lana." said Lincoln. Just then, they hear the sound of an engine revving up nearby. They look to see the Starmobile heading towards them with Lana behind the wheel.
"I'm done, you guys." said Lana. They all looked at a few of the changes that Lana made to it. Lana put in a LOT of seats, there was a big engine that wasn't a Revaroom sticking out of the hood, and a big roof. Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, Butters, Trent, and the Eds were looking in shock at the Starmobile.
"How long did it take you to do this?!" asked Eddy.
"A little over two hours." said Lana.
"No way!" said Kyle.
"How can a six-year-old girl do this?!" asked Eddy.
"Don't understimate Lana's mechanic abilities." said Lincoln. Naranja Mela walks over to them.
"I can vouche for her." said Naranja Mela. "She's an amazing mechanic. Wish I had her with us when my crew got started. Would've saved us some time and trouble when the Starmobile breaks down every so often." Ed was looking impatient.
"I want to take on the Titan Pokemon now, you guys!" said Ed.
"What's a Titan Pokemon?" asked Naranja Mela.
"Pokemon that are larger than they're normally supposed to be." said Lincoln.
"Yeah, we promised a friend of ours we'd help take them on." said Kyle.
"As did Ed." said Edd.
"Let's ride the Starmobile to where it is." said Lana.
"Good idea." said Lori.
"Well, have fun with that Titan Pokemon." said Naranja Mela before kissing Lincoln on the cheek, making Lincoln blush, his sisters squeal with delight, the boys stare with jealousy, and Ronnie Anne and Naranja Iono growl. Naranja Iono glares at Naranja Mela as she walks over to Lincoln and kisses him on the cheek, making Naranja Mela glare at her. Ronnie Anne runs over to Lincoln and kisses him on the cheek, making Naranjas Iono and Mela glare at her. They all then look at Lincoln who suddenly looked nervous.
"Uh...ladies?" says Lincoln. Five minutes later, the group was in the Starmobile with Lori now behind the wheel, heading for the Titan Pokemon's location, with Naranja Iono and Ronnie Anne sitting next to Lincoln whose face was covered in kiss marks. Eddy was looking at Lincoln with jealousy.
"I wish I had girls all over me." said Eddy.
"Maybe one day you will." said Edd with an eyeroll. Lana was sitting next to Ed, breathing in his stench.
"Ahhh. The sweet smell of...whatever that is." said Lana. She then looks over at Edd. "Do you know what that smell is?"
"I haven't the slightest idea." said Edd. He reaches into his backpack and pulls out some photos. "I examined Ed's head under a large microscope once and this is what we saw." He hands the photos to Lana who, along with everyone around her, looks at them.
"What are you doing with pictures of a toxic waste dump?" asked Stan.
"That's not a toxic waste dump. That's what Ed's skin looks like up close." said Edd.
"Oh, Arceus!" said Kyle.
"Cool!" said Lana.
"Ed just showered yesterday!" said Luan. "How can he get like this overnight while he's sleeping?"
"That's a mystery I still haven't solved yet." said Edd.
"Where did you get a microscope large enough to examine a human's head?" asked Lisa.
"Lots of sockhead's inventions are made from junk he finds at the Peach Creek garbage dump." said Eddy.
"Fascinating." said Lisa. Lana continues to sniff Ed.
"Thanks for giving the Starmobile a new paint job with your Grafaiai, Ed." said Lana.
"You are welcome." said Ed. Just then, Lori's phone rang. She looks at the Caller ID and sees the call was from her parents. She turns on the video chat and sees her parents, slightly bruised and disheveled.
"Hi, Mom and Dad." said Lori with concern in her voice.
"Hi, Lori." said Rita.
"Are you two okay?" asked Lori.
"Yes." said Rita. "This happened yesterday, and we were too exhausted to clean ourselves up."
"Yeah, the Fox Quintuplets are like that." said Lori as she shudders at memories of her experiences with them.
"At least the weekend is over, and we'll get a break from them." said Lynn Sr.
"Can we talk to Lincoln?" asked Rita. Lori passes the phone over to Lincoln, who takes it and looks at the screen.
"Hey, Mom and Dad." said Lincoln. He saw that his parents suddenly had smirks on their faces.
"What happened to your face?" asked Rita with a laugh.
"Did a girl kiss you all over?" asked Lynn Sr with a smug smile.
"Girls, plural." said Lincoln, making his parents' eyes widen with glee.
"My son is becoming a man!" said Lynn Sr. Naranja Iono leans over closer to Lincoln so his parents could see her. Rita sees her and recognizes her from the photo Leni showed her and Lynn Sr.
"Hi, Linky's parents." said Naranja Iono.
"It's nice to meet you, Iono." said Rita.
"It's nice to meet you, too." said Naranja Iono.
"So, you like our son?" asked Lynn Sr.
"I love your son! He's so cute, and smart, and nice, and there are so many other things I love about him!" said Naranja Iono. Lynn Sr and Rita were having a hard time containing their joy.
"I'm so happy that Lincoln has someone who loves him so much." said Rita.
"So, what have you been up to, son?" asked Lynn Sr.
"Well, yesterday we had dinner with Iono." said Lincoln.
"Ohhhhh." said Lynn Sr with a smirk. "Did you sit next to her?"
"Yeah." said Lincoln with a blush.
"He was a perfect gentleman." said Naranja Iono. "He opened the door to the restaurant we ate at for me, he pulled my chair out for me to sit in, he was so polite."
"We're so glad to hear that he's being proper to a lady." said Rita.
"It was great..." said Naranja Iono before a sour look appears on her face and she points towards Ronnie Anne. "...before this hussy got involved!"
"Who are you calling a hussy?!" yells Ronnie Anne as she leans closer to Naranja Iono and glares at her. Naranja Iono glares back at her. Lynn Sr and Rita looked nervous.
"I hope you two aren't getting into some over-the-top rivalry for our son." said Lynn Sr.
"If it happens, it happens!" said Ronnie Anne through clenched teeth. Naranja Iono smirks as she turns Lincoln's head towards her and kisses him on the lips, making his parents look with stunned surprise.
"Be careful son." said Lynn Sr. "You should know that if two girls are fighting, you should stay out of their way."
"Yeah, I learned that the hard way at our house." said Lincoln, before Ronnie Anne turns his head towards her and kisses him on the lips while looking at Naranja Iono. Lincoln passes the phone around and his sisters tell their parents about the Pokemon they caught, along with what happened at dinner yesterday.
"Well, it sounds like you are all having an eventful time in Paldea." said Rita.
"Just remember to be careful around that Titan Pokemon." said Lynn Sr.
"We will, Dad." said Luna. She passes the phone over to Lincoln who had a moment to breathe.
"So we'll talk to you later." said Lincoln.
"Talk to you later, son." said Lynn Sr. Naranja Iono looks at the screen.
"And maybe we'll talk later, future father-in-law!" said Naranja Iono. Lynn Sr smirks at Lincoln in response to that and the call ends. Lori looks over at Lincoln.
"So, where's this Titan Pokemon at?" asked Lori. Lincoln hands his Rotom Phone that had the map of the Titan Pokemon locations on it.
"It's that one just north of Levincia." said Lincoln.
"Okay, let's do this!" said Luna. Everyone cheers in response. Next stop: The Lurking Steel Titan Pokemon.
