Chapter 37
St. Anne (part 1)
Back in vermillion city, nighttime,
Lincoln and his friends booked two rooms for the night, during that time they were heading to the pokemart to buy some items.
"Man, I wish we can go on the Saint Anne," misty said." just imagine getting a beautiful tan, just a nice relaxing cruize," she added, as she imagined herself relaxing on a lounge chair.
"We can never afford a Cruize like that," brock said, making misty snap back to reality.
"Reality can really bum you out," Lincoln said.
the trio began walking back to the Pokémon center depressed until, jessie and James appeared as tanned high school girls.
"Congratulations, you guys are way lucky, winning a free sea Cruize," they said.
"A sea Cruize?" the trio questioned.
"That's right!" the disguised jessie replied.
"Cool," the disguised James said.
"It's a special Cruize to Pokémon trainers from here to the orange islands, it'll be a radical party all known trainers will be there," the disguised jessie said.
"Cool," the disguised James said.
"Wow awesome, but we probably don't have enough money," Lincoln said.
"Actually, you don't need money, because it's totally free, so take these and enjoy the St. Anne tomorrow," the disguised jessie said, as she hands Lincoln the Cruize ticket.
"Well, when you put it that way, thanks," Lincoln said as he takes the ticket.
"Well then, tootles, the disguised jessie said, as she and James's leave.
"Don't you find it odd that we got a free Cruize ticket?" misty asked.
"Well, on the one hand yes, but on the other hand, free Cruize," Lincoln replied.
"he's got a point there," brock said.
"Yup, might as well call my family and tell them the news," Lincoln said as the trio heads back to the Pokémon center.
Jessie and James were watching from the bushes," we did it, we got them," jessie said.
"Like wow, do you I make like the coolest girl?" James asked in a girl voice.
Looking annoyed, jessie hits James with a giant hammer," stop acting like an ignoramus," she said, as she pulled him away.
meanwhile, at the loud house, daytime,
After getting the TV set up with the satellite box, the louds were finally able to watch TV again, which of course, led to some disputes about what to watch first. fortunately, there was one program they could all agree on, and that was the dream boat," I hope garret chooses penny!" Lola gushed, even though she's grounded from pageants because of her attitude, the parents allowed her to watch TV.
"Nah, my money's on him choosing Harriet," Luna replied.
"I want him and Abby to be together!" Leni gushed, until her, Luna, Luan, lucy, Lana, Lisa, Rita, and Lynn sr.'s wrist watches started beeping.
"Gasp guys you know who is calling," Luan said.
"Well hot dog, let's go to Lisa's room," Lynn sr. said. as the rest of the family head to Lisa's room while he grabbed lily, Lola looked annoyed knowing that she knows who's calling.
"I better tell Lynn and Lori," Lola said heading upstairs.
Lola was Infront of Lori and Leni's room," Lori, he's calling again, so I'm gonna set up Luan's laptop," she said but got no response from Lori.
"Must be asleep," Lola said as she heads to Lynn and lucy's room," Lynn he's calling again, I'm about to set up Luan's laptop," she said.
"Good, I want to hear that stinkoln lost again," Lynn said, as she and Lola heads to the twin's room with Luan's laptop.
In Lori and Leni's room,
Lori was curled up on her bed, shaking with sobs from her breakup with bobby," damn that Lincoln! how dare he make bobby break up with me! he should know that THIS is how our family operates!" she hissed hatefully.
"Boy, you sure love blaming your brother for your own stupid mistakes," Lori sat up from her bed, to see a doppelganger of herself, with a much darker shade in attire.
"What the...?! who are you?" Lori asked.
"I'm the part of your mind that you're foolishly choosing to deny. the part of your mind that knows that bobby was right, and that you're a selfish, vain narcissist who cares more about a relationship with some guy than you do your own family," the other Lori replied.
"Oh, so just because I want bobby to be a part of my life automatically makes ME the bad guy?!" Lori spat.
"No, what makes you the bad guy is how you're trying to prioritize your relationship with him over your own family, and the fact that you're trying to push two kids who have no romantic feelings together doesn't exactly help your case," the other Lori stated.
"But Lincoln and Ronnie Anne are meant to be together!" Lori argued.
"And what gives you the right to decide that yourself, hmm?"
"Because Ronnie Anne was picking on him. if a girl picks on a boy, then that means she likes him!" Lori replied.
"Hmm, so you're saying that if Lincoln were to pick on Ronnie Anne or any girl, then that means he likes her?" Lori shook her head.
"No, if a boy like Lincoln picks on a girl, then its abuse. it only counts as having romantic feelings if the girl is the one picking on the boy."
"Wow, that has to be the most sexist thing I've ever heard, the other Lori said in a mock surprised tone.
"Oh for the love of...girls can't be sexist! men have always been the dominant gender since who knows how long!"
"And ever since Lincoln was born the only boy in a family of all girls, you've been driving it home that is supposed to be a women-controlled household, when you, your sisters, and your brother should be living on equal grounds!" no wonder bobby broke up with you and most of your sisters lost respect for you!" the other Lori stated.
"Would you get lost already? I'm sick of hearing about that little twerp," Lori demanded, rolling over in her bed, not wanting to even look at her doppelganger.
"Sorry blondie, but I'm sticking with you like cheese on macaroni," the other Lori said, just as Lori gets up and heads to the bathroom.
In Lisa and lily's room,
Lisa armed the door, so Lynn doesn't interrupt the call again, she then answers the videophone with the screen showing Lincoln.
"Hey guys," Lincoln said.
"Winky, winky!" lily cheered.
"Hey lily," Lincoln said as he waved.
"Hey bro, how was your rematch?" Luna asked.
"It went great, I followed Lisa's advice, and it helped me win my third badge," Lincoln replied, showing his thunder badge.
"that's a thunder badge?" it looks more like a sun badge," Luan said.
"Yeah, it does," Lana added.
"Well, besides the badges appearance, I'm glad my advice helped," Lisa said.
"Not only that, but we also trained at this place called the battle club," Lincoln said.
"Battle club, what's that?" Lynn sr. asked.
"it's a place to train Pokémon for certain types, and be prepared for their next battle too," Lincoln replied.
"That sounds awesome," Lana said.
"Surge also told me there are two other gym leaders far stronger than him, on in saffron city and another in viridian city," Lincoln said.
"Viridian city, you mean where you first faced team rocket?" Rita asked, as Lincoln nodded.
In Lana and Lola's room,
"Great, stincoln won again, thanks to dumb old Lisa," Lynn said.
"Calm down, that Surge guy said these two other gym leaders are stronger than him, so we'll enjoy seeing him lose on the TV," Lola said.
"I guess you're right," Lynn said, as Lori gets out of the bathroom.
Back in Lisa and lily's room,
"So, what's been going on back home?" Lincoln asked.
"Well, for starters I'm taking a break from pranking until I learn self-control when April fools comes around," Luan replied.
"Wow Luan, that's a big surprise, but I understand, think of it as a first step of healing," Lincoln said, until he noticed Luna and Luan looking different.
"Thanks link," Luan said.
"Not only that bro, but the milk you sent us was delicious and it changed us a bit," Luna said a little embarrassed.
"that's normal, it just proves that it helps you grow," misty said off screen.
"Thank you misty," Lincoln said as he rolled his eyes.
"Lola was banned from her pageants after finding out about her actions to the other pageant girls, so, not only that she was banned, but all of her trophies and tiara's are being confiscated as well," Lynn sr. said.
'Sounds like Lindsey sweetwater decided to tell, somehow that doesn't surprise me', Lincoln thought.
"Not only that, but we also got a new TV, along with the pokechannel cable, so we can see your gym battles on screen," lucy said.
"We also got a surprise, Ronnie Anne and Clyde are heading to kanto tomorrow, and bobby's joining them as a chaperone," Lisa said.
"Not only that, but they'll be also at some place called the orange islands," Rita added.
"Awesome! that means I can meet them there!" Lincoln said.
"What do you mean?" Leni asked.
"Well, after dropping off my Pokémon, we went to get some more items, that's when these two tanned highschoolers kind of look familiar and they gave us a free Cruize ticket," Lincoln said, as he showed the family his St. Anne ticket.
"So, these two tanned highschoolers gave you a free ticket, and you don't find that suspicious?" Lisa asked.
"Well yeah, but can anyone turn down a free Cruize?" Lincoln asked, as the family thought the same as Lincoln about a free Cruize.
Back in Lana and Lola's room,
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT; HE GOT A FREE CRUIZE TICKET!" Lynn yelled.
"YEAH, IF ANYONE DESERVES A FREE CRUIZE ITS ME!" Lola yelled.
"Not only that, but his dumb friends are joining him, along with bobby," Lynn said.
"Why are things going great for him while bad things are going bad for us?" Lola whined.
"it's because of his room, I don't care what are traitorous parents say, we're sealing that room," Lynn declared.
Back in Lisa and lily's room,
"So, you're taking a ride on the St. Anne?" Rita asked.
"Yup, it'll be great to relax, besides the Pokémon league won't start yet so I got plenty of time," Lincoln replied.
"Well, I guess you can relax from time to time, and i can add it to my novel," Rita said.
"Novel?" Lincoln asked.
"Yes, I decided to write a novel based on your adventures in kanto," Rita replied.
"Wow, that's awesome mom," Lincoln said.
"Thanks sweety, but things got worse for Lynn, she wants to reseal your room for a month to prove that the bad luck is coming from your room," Rita said.
"Well, that sounds dumb, it's more like karma is punishing her, Lori and Lola for their bad behavior," Lincoln said.
"Even I know that, but knowing their pride, they'll never accept it," Lynn sr. said." most of the blame is on us, we spoiled you girls to much and ignored lincoln a lot."
"don't blame yourselves pops," Luna said.
"Yeah, no one's perfect, not even me," Lincoln said." I mean if I just told you guys, I needed a break in the first place, then this bad luck nonsense wouldn't have happened."
"No link, we're to blame the most, we just have a habit of not taking no for an answer, and we have to realize that everything is not always about us," Luan said as the rest of the family nodded.
"Well, I'll go ahead and get to sleep, since the St. Anne will doc tomorrow," Lincoln said.
"Bye link, be sure to tell us about the fun you had on the Cruize," Lana said.
"Thanks Lans, and I'll send more Pokémon after the Cruize," Lincoln said, as he waves goodbye to the family turning the video screen off.
"That went great," Lynn sr. said.
"Yup, Luan said, as she and the rest of family left the room.
In Lana and Lola's room,
"Can you believe this, they think its karma is the reason bad things are happening to us," Lynn said.
"I know, and I hope something bad happens to him," Lola said.
"Me too," Lynn added.
"Me three," Lori said from the doorway.
"You heard?" Lynn asked.
"Yeah, I heard that twerp is going on a Cruize, so I hope something bad happens to him for ruining my relationship with bobby," Lori replied.
Meanwhile, at the kanto Pokémon league HQ in the indigo plateau,
Flint, Misty's mother and sisters, lt. Surge, and several other people gathered except for the viridian gym leader gathered in a large conference room. at the head of the room were four individuals. the first was an extremely gorgeous and busty woman with long red hair and wearing glasses. the second was a towering, muscular man wearing only tattered pants. the third was an elderly woman holding a wooden cane. the fourth and final one was a red headed man in a black and red body suit with a cape," I'd like to thank all of you gym leaders for coming today, even if we're only missing one. we have a pressing matter to discuss, involving team rocket," the man in the cape said.
"I take it those goons are up to no good as usual?" Surge asked, crossing his arms.
"Indeed. we have received intel about a string of their most recent activities, which include the poaching and trafficking of Pokémon, as well as a slew of crimes," the red headed woman replied.
"How did you get this intel?" a man dressed as a ninja asked, as he sat next a two teen girl, also dressed as a ninja, along with a woman dressed as a ninja also but her ninja outfit was pink.
"We have some spies working on the inside of team rocket. most of their operations they have planned for the future are of little concern, but there are quite a few that we simply can't ignore," the caped man replied.
"Would you be willing to share some of these operations, lance?" Misty's mother asked.
"One such operation is a complete takeover and raid of the Silph Co. in saffron city. which is going to happen sometime after a plan they have for the Saint Anne," lance replied.
"The Saint Anne? but that's just a luxury cruise liner. what does team rocket want with it?" a woman in a red dress with long, black hair asked, never once breaking her stoic expression.
"According to our sources, they've been passing out free passes to any Pokémon trainer in vermillion city who wants to board it," lance replied.
"They're handing out free passes? is anyone really dumb enough to fall for something like that?" lily asked.
"Well, think about it, young lady; if you had a chance to take a cruise on such a cruise liner, wouldn't you want first dibs on it?" flint asked.
"Fair point," lily conceded.
"We're getting off topic here!" the elderly woman said.
"Right, Agatha. continuing where we left off, the operation they have planned for the St. Anne is actually quite a well thought out strategy. they're planning an ambush on a cruise ship that's way out in the middle of the ocean as it makes its way to the orange islands, where the police wouldn't be able to help out," the glasses wearing woman added.
"Fortunately, we had received one of those free passes from one of our G-men who in the time," lance said, holding up a ticket.
"But there's a slight problem with that, lance. you're too well known throughout kanto. if team rocket saw you on the ship, they'll know you're there to bust them, which could jeopardize our chances of making a mass arrest," Agatha replied.
"I know, which is why I'm sending in someone else," lance replied, handing the pass to the glasses wearing woman," Lorelei, can you handle this?"
"Of course. with all the trouble I've heard team rocket causing on four islands, I'd be more than happy to teach them a lesson," Lorelei replied.
"Good. now then, as for Agatha, I want you to go to saffron city with Sabrina to help out with the lockdown. if team rocket is behind it, I need the two of you to look into it," lance said to the elderly woman.
"Of course. it's high time we took down those awful crooks once and for all," Agatha replied.
"And finally, there's your task Bruno. i want you to go to the p-1 grand prix and scout out any potential trainers that can help out taking down team rocket," lance said to the towering man.
"As last year's champion, I was already planning to go anyway, but you can count on me," Bruno replied.
"And what'll you do lance?" Lorelei asked.
"As you said before, team rocket is also operating in the sevii islands, so I'm going to go patrol them and see about busting any hideouts they have," lance replied.
"And what about the rest of us?" Surge asked.
"All the gym leaders are going to tasked with keeping a watchful eye in each of their respective cities. if you see any activity caused by team rocket, you are to contact the Pokémon league immediately, and we'll send out some of our best men to help take down. and with that, I think we've tackled everything that needed to be discussed. so, meeting adjourned," lance replied, as all of the gym leaders got up and out of their seats, proceeding to leave.
"Where do you think Giovanni could've been?" a teen girl in a kimono asked.
"Who knows? that guy's almost never at the viridian city gym," the pink ninja woman replied.
"That guy is certainly a suspicious character," the ninja girl commented as the pink ninja woman nodded.
"Janine, are you and Aya saying that Giovanni could be involved with team rocket somehow?" the older ninja asked.
"It's too early to say for certain. but with how rarely he's at his gym, he's certainly one to watch out four," Janine replied.
"Well, I need to get back to vermillion city," Surge said.
meanwhile, at professor oak's lab,
professor oak has sent professor ivy the time to meet up with Lincoln's friends, until his videophone ranged, so professor oak answered it showing Lincoln on the screen.
"Hey professor," Lincoln said.
"Lincoln my boy, how have you been?" professor oak asked.
"Well, I won my third gym badge," Lincoln replied.
"that's impressive," professor oak said.
"Actually, when I first faced Surge, I underestimated him and lost," Lincoln said.
"I see, well take it as an experience, to not underestimate your opponents, not only that, but keep in mind that even if your Pokémon has a type advantage it won't always help you win," professor oak said.
"I'll keep that in mind, after I called and talked to my family and two more of my sisters, Lisa gave me some advice by using speed over power, so I decided to check out this battle club and train there," Lincoln said.
"I see, the battle club is a perfect place to train your Pokémon, also your sister Lisa gave you great advice," professor oak said. and which two sisters made amends with you?"
"My sister Luna and my sister Luan, Luna's the musical one and Luan is the comedy one," Lincoln replied.
"Well, I'm glad they made amends with you, but what about the last three?" professor oak asked.
"Lori, Lynn and Lola, are too stubborn and prideful, it would take a Miricale to knock some sense into them," Lincoln replied.
"Somehow I can see that happening, but in the meantime your friends are about to head to kanto, basically they'll be on the orange islands just south of kanto," professor oak said.
"That's awesome, because I got a free ticket to the St. Anne cruise ship, and it's going to the orange islands," Lincoln said.
"you're right, that means you'll meet up with them, that is wonderful news," professor oak said.
"Welp, I better get some sleep, so I'll be ready to go on a cruise, goodnight professor," Lincoln said.
"Goodnight lad," professor oak said, as he turned off the videophone." I hop ivy won't show up late to pick those kids up."
Meanwhile, in royal woods, in the middle of the day,
It was time for Ronnie Anne and Clyde's departure, Lisa wanted to see them off, so she went to her mother who was writing in her novel about Lincoln's last call.
"Mother unit, I wish to see Lincoln's friends' departure," Lisa said.
"Really?" Rita asked.
"Yes, I want to wish them luck," Rita replied, as the other sisters minus Lori, Lynn and Lola appeared.
"Well, I don't see why not," Lynn sr. said, as he steps out of the kitchen.
"I guess its ok, and I want to meet this professor ivy as well," Rita said, making the sisters cheer while Lisa sent a text to the McBride's and Casagrande's that its time.
At the McBride's household,
Howard and Harold were putting some of Clyde's important things into their van, while Clyde was packing stuff in his bag and headed outside.
"Welp, time to meet up with my best buddy," Clyde said.
"Clyde," a girl's voice was heard, Clyde turned around to see a girl wearing a black and white shirt and socks, pink overalls, purple shoes, and a light purple French beret.
The girl revealed to be Chloe, she's Clyde's girlfriend and she knew about his crush on Lori, but after his last talk with Lincoln and everything Lori said, he talked to Chloe about it and she comforted him, he even showed her one of Lincoln's Pokémon. after his talk with professor oak, he told Chloe about his despatcher to kanto.
"So, you're going?" Chloe asked.
"Yup, its time, and thanks for helping me out, Chloe you're the best," Clyde replied.
"No problem, be sure to take lots of pictures and catch lots of cute Pokémon," Chloe said as she kisses Clyde.
"Well son, ready to go," Howard asked.
"Yup," Clyde replied, until he got a text message from Lisa," hey Lisa sent me a text that the loud family want to see me and Ronnie Anne off and cheer us on."
"Well then, we'll let them join us," Harold said, as all three of them get in their van and drive off to the airport.
Clyde and his dads went in their van, as Clyde offered Chloe to join them, thus she entered their van as well.
At the Santiago household,
The Casagrande's were getting ready to head to the airport, except for one person.
"Is everyone ready," rosa asked.
"All except one person," carl replied.
"Ronnie Anne must have been so excited that she couldn't sleep," Carlos said.
sighs," bobby Carlota can you two go wake her up?" maria asked.
"Sure thing mom," bobby replied as he and Carlota went to Ronnie Anne's room.
In Ronnie Anne's room,
Ronnie Anne is seen sleeping still smiling as she dreams that she's at the Pokémon stadium, where she is holding a trophy surrounded by her Pokémon, a little brown fox, a bird like Pokémon resembling a luchador, a flame like Pokémon with cannons for hands, a shiny bird Pokémon with a hat that resembles a gangster hat, a green shiny dragon like Pokémon, and a t-rex like Pokémon.
"I can't believe it, I won the league!" she said, as Lincoln walks up to her.
"That's not all you won," Lincoln said as he held her hand, making her blush.
"See, you too are perfect for each other thanks to my help," Lori said, as Ronnie Anne puts her trophy down and snapped her fingers making her fire Pokémon blast a fire ball at her.
"Nowhere, were we?" she asked.
"This," Lincoln replies as he kisses her on the lips making the crowd cheer.
her dream ends as she's continuing to sleep snogging her pillow mumbling Lincoln's name as bobby and Carlota see and smile.
"Should we wake her up?" Carlota asked.
"I hate to interrupt her dream, but if we want to get to the airport on time," bobby replied.
"Nie-Nie wake up, or this misty girl will steal Lincoln from you," bobby said, waking her up.
"I'LL DROWN HER IF SHE EVEN TRIES," Ronnie Anne yelled.
"Hey prima, we got to go and meet this professor ivy lady at the airport," Carlota said.
"Oh crud, Ronnie Anne said, as she runs to the bathroom to shower, brush her teeth and get dressed.
"Ok, I'm ready!" Ronnie Anne said, as she grabs one of Rosa's tamales, until she got a text from Lisa.
"Hey, Lisa sent a text, saying the louds are coming to see me and Clyde off as well," she said.
"So, Lori is coming too?" bobby asked.
"I don't think so, she's probably still affected from your talk with her," Carlota replied.
"Makes sense, but for now lets get going," maria said, as the family leave in their van.
A little later, at the airport,
It wasn't a long ride at the airport, where Lincoln's friends, as well as albert and myrtle, stella, Liam, rusty, Zach, haiku, Polly, giggles, tabby, girl Jordan, mollie, Paula, and Margo, (who Lisa invited as well after her text with Clyde and Ronnie Anne), were waiting around," hey there!" Leni called out. as the others saw the louds coming up except for Lori, Lynn and Lola.
"Hey Lisa, we got your text," Clyde said.
"We wanted to wish you two luck, and to also meet this professor ivy as well," Lisa said.
"I see that Lori, Lynn and Lola aren't here," bobby said.
"Yeah, we didn't tell Lynn or Lola, but Lori she's been in her room since last night," Rita said.
"I guess she's still affected from our talk," bobby said.
"don't worry bobby, she'll come to her senses, eventually," Rita said.
"Now, where can we find professor ivy," Frida said.
"Do we even know what she looks like?" CJ asked.
"I'm right here," a mysterious woman said, as she walked up to the group, she had purple hair, wearing a lab coat, wearing a dark red shirt showing off her large chest, a blue skirt way up her legs, and pink heels.
"I see that everyone's here, hello everyone I'm professor ivy from the orange islands," professor ivy said, as she introduced herself to everyone.
after introducing herself to everyone, Clyde, rusty, Liam, Zach, CJ, bobby, and carl, were looking at her in awe. while Lynn sr. and Carlos were trying to not look at her knowing that their wives might make them sleep on the couch.
'Whoa, and I thought Ms. Dimartino was hot', rusty thought.
'I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about Arturo meeting this woman, wait why am I feeling worried', maria thought.
Chloe, tabby, giggles, and Polly were getting upset at their boyfriends looking at ivy lovingly, so they pinched them making them scream in pain.
'What do the girls eat there, I can't let Lincoln meet this woman', Ronnie Anne thought.
'Good thing benny isn't here, because if he saw her, I'll just explode', Luan thought.
Lisa decided to start a conversation," so, professor ivy, what do you do for your Pokémon research?" she asked.
"I study regional differences," ivy replied.
"Regional differences, what's that?" Carlos asked while trying to not look at her.
"Its research, about Pokémon looking different and their type changes too, here's an example," ivy replied pulling out a pokeball and releasing a sandshrew but it looked whiter then yellow.
"Whoa it looks like Lincoln's sandshrew," Lana said.
"Indeed, this sandshrew is an ice type, instead of a ground type," ivy explained.
"I didn't know Pokémon existed like that!" Lana said, as ivy recalled the white sandshrew back in its pokeball.
"So, are you two ready to go?" ivy asked.
"Yup, were all set," Ronnie Anne said.
"Excellent, then lets get going," ivy said.
"Wait, I almost forgot, here you two," Lisa said, as she gives Clyde and Ronnie Anne some study guides.
"What are those?" carl asked.
"They're study guides they'll need to go over while in transit to the kanto region. the professor said, they'll need to pass a trainer qualification exam before being issued their own starter Pokémon and pokedex," Lisa explained.
"Not only that, but they'll be seen as adults," ivy added, surprising everyone.
"WHAT, they'll be seen as adults?!" maria asked.
"Yes, but only in the Pokémon regions," ivy replied, but I can tell that they'll be responsible."
"Even so, my son is going with them, to make sure nothing bad happens," maria said sternly.
"No worries mom, I'll keep an I on them," bobby said.
"Ok, but if I find out differently, then you'll say goodbye to your trainer careers," maria said holding one of Rosa's chunklus, making them gulp.
"Which reminds me...Rita, Lynn, I have something I want to talk to both of you two about in private," maria said.
"What about?" Rita asked.
"We can talk more at your house," maria replied, as she and her family see Ronnie Anne, Clyde and bobby leave with ivy and waving goodbye.
"Good luck guys, tell link we said hi," stella said.
"I'm glad Lincoln has great friend's albert," myrtle said.
"Me too myrtle, and I'm glad that most of the family made amends to Lincoln," albert said.
"So, which island is yours?" bobby asked.
"I live on Valencia city with my three assistants, ivy replied as they saw a helicopter set and ready.
"Awesome, just wait lame-o I'm on my way," Ronnie Anne said, as she, Clyde, and bobby entered the helicopter and flew off.
"Do you guys want to come over and see Lincoln's battle with us?" Lana asked.
"Heck yeah we do," girl Jordan replied.
"Great!" Lana said, as she and everyone else began to leave the airport.
Meanwhile, back at the loud house, Lynn and lucy's room,
While her family was leaving to meet up with the McBride's and the Casagrande's/Santiago's at the airport, Lynn was laying on her bed, absolutely bored out of her mind," ugh, this is so NOT fair! since that witch of an ex-mother of mine took away all my sports stuff, that ex-father blocking all the sports channels, there's nothing to do! why did they even give me those?" she asked to no one in particular, looking at a stack of books on her nightstand," I have to prove that stinkcoln is bad luck and that I was right! but how?"
"The better question is' why are you so fixated on this grudge against Lincoln?" Lynn sat up in her bed, and saw a doppelganger of herself, standing in the corner of the room, smirking mockingly at her.
"Oh crap, are you a doppelganger?! that's all I need right now!" Lynn groaned, knowing the story of doppelgangers and what they bring.
"No, stupid. I'm what you could call the part of you that you're idiotically choosing to deny. the part of you that knows that your brother had nothing to do with your loss against the lions that day," the other Lynn said.
"Yeah right, I know for a fact that he and his bad luck was solely responsible for my loss that day, and for getting myself and my team banned from softball for a couple months," Lynn stated.
"And how exactly can you prove that, hmm? do you have any actual, physical evidence that proves your claim? or are you just like what everyone says you are? a spoiled, self-centered sore looser that's afraid to take responsibility for a loss? because looking into that pitiful mind of your, that game against the lions wasn't the first time you lost," the other Lynn stated. Lynn really didn't like this other Lynn's tone.
"What are you talking about? I'm the best athlete in royal woods! I don't have a single loss to my name before that game."
"What about that volleyball match back in the third grade? your team lost 3 to 2, and you weren't complaining about bad luck then, so what makes softball so much more important than volleyball?" the other Lynn questioned. Lynn froze up in disbelief.
"Who or what are you? hardly anyone knows about the only time I lost legitimately," Lynn questioned.
"As I said, I'm the part of you that you're foolishly choosing to deny; the part of you that knows that bad luck had nothing to do with your loss that day. and my job here is to beat a little something called 'common sense' into that overly dense skull of yours," the other Lynn replied.
"Ok, first of all, bad luck had EVERYTHING to do with my loss against the lions. secondly, I'll have you know that I do have common sense."
"Oh sure, because threatening to bash in your brother's skull if he didn't come to the very game, you forced him to go to in the first place requires a lot of common sense," the other Lynn sarcastically remarked.
"That's because stinkcoln HAS to come to all of OUR events! or at least he had to before he was bad luck," Lynn countered.
"And what about some of the events he had lined up?"
"Oh, those? we don't have to go to any of his events since we outnumber him," Lynn shrugged.
"And what makes you and your sisters so special to snub his events at your leisure, but you have to force him to go to your events, what happen to this family supports each other?"
"Because he's the only boy in the house. dad doesn't count as a boy, since he is an actual man, something stinkcoln will never be. not with his dumb obsession with comics or video games or those stupid models of his," Lynn replied. the other Lynn could only shake her head in disappointment, that is, if she had any more disappointment to feel.
"You really don't get what family is about, do you? have you at least thought about putting yourself in Lincoln's shoes?"
"Hell no! those things are tainted with his bad luck! and I don't need any more of that in my life! Lynn snapped. the other Lynn groaned loudly in exasperation.
"That was a metaphor, you idiot! i was saying try to think about how Lincoln felt! how would you feel if he and the others locked you out and barred you from activities you would've liked to go if you were the only brother or sister in the house?"
"Well, if stinkcoln did do that, i would've ripped him a new one, regardless if he was a girl like the rest of us and if I was a boy. though, that's not too hard to believe. the point is, he has even less rights and authority in his house than lily, and she's a baby!"
"And who are you to decide that? after all, you and the rest of your sisters aren't the owners of this house. that privilege belongs to your parents. and i must commend what your parents should've done a long time ago."
"And what, pray tell, could they possible be doing?"
"Enforcing discipline against you and the rest. which has nothing to do with the string of bad luck you and the others have been experiencing. and I have to agree with that brainy sister of yours. it only started turning really sour AFTER you thought gloating about selling your brother's furniture in his face was a good idea. that was low, and believe me, I've seen low."
"The whole point of sending him to kanto was to punish him! so, in my book I did the right thing!"
"So, what you're saying is that you really, truly hate Lincoln that much that you have to hurt his feelings like that?" the other Lynn asked in disgust.
"he's a boy! he's not supposed to have feelings!"
"that's NOT up to you or anyone else to decide. after all, you're just one person! the whole world doesn't revolve around you!"
"And why shouldn't it? the way I see it, the world has nothing better to do than to revolve around me, the greatest athlete in the history of the world, and maybe even the universe!" Lynn boasted.
"Well, you better watch what you say. after all, be careful what you wish for," the other Lynn said, before disappearing.
"Pfft, whatever. who does that...thing think she is?" Lynn grumbled, as she laid back down in bed. unbeknownst to her, a small part of her mind was starting to take what the other Lynn had said to heart.
That's chapter 37, part 1 is set now part 2 will be a sinking experience.
Now who can guess what Pokémon that are standing Ronnie Anne.
will Lynn take what her other self said to heart or will she ignore it.
will Lori finally come to her senses or will she lose everything.
sorry about the ending part I forgot to change the 35 to 36.
