Chapter 53
Bonding with Togepi
At the loud house, Daytime,
At the loud house, the family started arguing on who gets to spend time with Togepi, while Muk, Cubone, Fearow, Pidgeotto, and Goomy were watching and togepi quivering in Rita's arms.
"Obviously, I should get her first," Lori said.
"Why, because you're the oldest," Luna taunted making Lori growl.
"ENOUGH!" Lynn sr. yelled holding lily.
the sisters look at their father," girls, don't you see you're scaring togepi, we have to earn back Lincoln trust and bonding with our Pokémon niece/granddaughter will help us do it, so we'll spend time with her together and fairly, understand?" Lynn sr. asked.
the loud sisters look at each other and agreed," Ok dad, we'll do it," Leni said.
ok then, for now let's all relax and get to know her first," Lynn sr. said.
"Ok, then I'll be playing with muk," Lana said as hugs Muk and smelled him.
"at least keep him away from my stuff," Lola said until she sees Muk wearing one of her crowns." LANA"
after lunch, the sisters decided to spend time with Lincoln's Pokémon, Lisa studying Goomy and her slime, cuebone was drumming with Luna while looking at Rita watching lily and togepi play together while writing a next chapter in her novel, Lynn was bonding with pidgeotto after being told how similar they are, Fearow was letting Luan, Lori, and Lola ride her as she flies, and Leni was on her talking to Carlota.
"Oh togepi, your aunty Leni has made a special outfit for you," Leni said as she puts a cute dress on togepi." and your aunty Carlota has the other part of your outfit."
"cuebone, I'm digging your drumming vibe, but why do you keep staring at my mom?" Luna asked until she remembered what Lincoln told the family." oh right, sorry dude."
"it's ok, I know you're not trying to hurt my feelings, and she reminds me of my mom," cuebone said as Luna hugs him.
"Alright otto, let's work on your speed," Lynn said as she helps pidgeotto work on her flight speed by timing her.
"How was that?" pidgeotto asked.
"Still same as last time," Lynn replied.
Fearow came flying down on the back yard," man, that was fun fearow," Luan said as she Lori and Lola climbed down.
"Thanks, you know after hearing that you made amends to Lincoln, part of me didn't trust you," Fearow said.
"We understand, and we're working hard to earn his trust back," Lori said.
"And vow to never hurt him again," Lola said.
"I'll believe it when I see it," Fearow said."
"Ok everyone we're meeting up with the Casagrande's at the park," Rita announced.
"Good, that'll help otto improve her speed," Lynn said.
"Why call me that?" pidgeotto asked.
"Because it's a nickname I thought of for you," Lynn replied as pidgeotto gave it some thought.
the family drove to the park and met up with the Casagrande's," hey louds over here," CJ said.
"what's that smell? carl asked.
"Oh, just Muk," Lana said as she releases Muk from his pokeball making the Casagrande's plug their noses.
"Man, talk about stinky," Carlota said." and I thought Carlito's diapers smelled bad.
"I know, isn't he great," Lana said." wait until my friends met you."
Soon the sisters appear at the park meeting up with the louds.
"I'm glad you made amends with him Lori," Carol said.
"Yeah, that's the first part earning his trust back will be tougher," Lori said.
"I'm sure you will," Carol said.
Lana takes Muk to meet her friends and boyfriend Skippy, while Carlota gave togepi her gift." here sweety, this is from your Tia Carlota," Carlota said giving her a bow and making her giggle with joy.
"Thank you," togepi said as she begins to talk more making Leni and Carlota squeal.
"she's so cute," Frida said as she takes a picture and cries tears of joy and Leni puts togepi in the sandbox with lily and Carlitos who are building sandcastles.
as for Lynn, she helps pidgeotto and fearow work on their speeds improving themselves," alright girls you really improved, I doubt no one will attack you," Lynn said as Margo, Paula, and Franciso show up." hey guys what's up?"
"Big news Lynn, Margo replied.
"The softball league is gonna let our team face the lions next for a rematch," Paula said.
"Do you think you can play without your rituals?" Franciso asked.
"Defiantly, but wait, when is it?" Lynn asked." because I don't want to miss Lincoln's Pokémon tournament."
"Not sure, I'll find out later," Fransico replied." because we also want to see the tournament too."
Lynn kissed Fransico on the cheek surprising him," thanks Sisco," Lynn said." so wanna help me train links Pokémon?"
"Yeah," Margo replied as she, Paula, and Francisco back to his senses helped out.
Cuebone was standing Infront of a spring ride believing it's an enemy," so you wanna fight huh, well take this," Cuebone said as he hit it over and over as Luan and Benny watches.
"Um Luan, should we stop him?" Benny asked.
"I wouldn't," Luan replied.
"Good point, oh and by the way, one of your clients, heard about your temporary retirement to learn self-control on your pranking, and they said they'll help you on your pranking," Benny said.
"Really?" Luan asked.
"Yup, and I'm helping out too, so is giggles," Benny replied.
Luan cried tears joy then hugged and kiss Benny.
"You were right Lana, Muk's stench is out of this world," Skippy said as he smelled and played with Muk.
"I'm so glad Lincoln caught him, and Muk really loves hugs," Lana said while Lola was busy cleaning her crown Muk wore.
"I still smell Muk's stench on my crown," Lola said.
Lisa was with her boyfriend David and friend Darcy studying goomy's slimy body." Lisa how can this Pokémon be a dragon type if it doesn't look like one?" he asked.
"Well, David, appearances can be deceiving, look at firestorm aka Charizard, he looks like a dragon but yet he's not," Lisa replied showing David a picture of firestorm."
"I see your point," David said.
"at least she's squishy," Darcy said." by the way Lisa where's your Pokémon niece, I want to meet her?"
"she's playing in the sandbox with lily and Carlitos," Lisa replied.
"Um I don't see her," Darcy said.
Lisa looks at the sandbox and noticed togepi was gone," AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," Lisa screamed.
everyone hears Lisa and runs to her," Lisa, what's wrong?" Lori asked.
"togepi is gone!" Lisa replied.
everyone sees the sandbox with only lily and Carlitos but no togepi, they all started freaking out," how could she just disappear?" Rita asked.
"don't panic, we just have to find her," Lynn sr. replied making everyone spread out and find togepi.
they searched everywhere, while the flying Pokémon searched through the air, they searched for hours during that time togepi is seen in a nest of a tree confused,' huh how did I get here?' togepi thought until she remembered.
Flashback,
Togepi was enjoying herself in the sandbox with lily and Carlitos, until lily played with Fenton the feel better fox's song. as they were enjoying it, Togepi was waving her hands back and forth like a metronome, the final wave made her hands glow then suddenly disappeared.
Back to the present,
'So, my powers are starting to work, cool,' togepi thought, until she sees the family look for her.
"it's hopeless, we'll never find her," Lori cried." we're literally the worst aunts ever."
"And we'll lose linky's trust," Lola cried.
"Worse, Ronnie Anne's gonna pound us into next year," Lana said.
"Or their Pokémon will," lucy said.
Togepi sees her family crying and felt sad,' they really love daddy and want his trust and love back,' togepi thought." I trust them, and I'll tell mommy and daddy.'
"UP HERE!" Togepi yelled making the family look up a tree.
"I see her and she's talking!" Leni said excitedly.
"How did she get up there?" Lori asked.
"Maybe, a bird took her by eggccident believing it was its own," Luan jokily replied as everyone groaned except for Lynn sr. and Benny while pidgeotto and fearow looked offended.
"No time for jokes Luan, we got to get her down," Lola said.
Togepi jumps out of the nest freaking everyone out, until Lori caught her just in time," sweetie you're ok," she said.
"Thank goodness, but how'd she gets up their?" Rita asked.
"I somehow teleported up there when I was enjoying the fox," togepi replied.
"That means she used metronome," Lisa said.
"You mean that move that makes random moves?" Lynn asked.
"Affirmative, it also means we'll help our niece learn more of her powers," Lisa replied.
"we'll worry about that later, for now let's just be happy that she's save," Lynn sr. said as everyone hugged togepi.
unbeknownst the family they were being watched be four robed figures in the forest, but with their hoods off revealing four girls, the four resembled Lana, Lola, Lisa, and lily but five years older with the twins being 11, the older Lisa being 9, and older lily being 6.
"See, I told you they've changed," the older Lola said.
"I'll believe it when I see it, I still don't trust them yet," the older Lana said.
"I wish we could see them and linky," the older lily said.
"I know younger sibling, but we have to wait just like our brothers told us," Older Lisa said." even though part of me doesn't trust them Ethier."
"But he forgave them though," the older lily said.
"Earning forgiveness is one thing but earning his trust back will be tougher," the older Lana said.
"True, but I get the feeling that togepi will help them earn his trust back," the older lola said.
"Well in the meantime lets go," the older Lisa said as she opens a portal as she and the others go through the portal."
'I wonder how Lana and Lola will react seeing us and how we changed,' the older Lola thought.
Back with Lincoln and the others,
Lincoln and the others were dealing with an angry Snorlax," jeez Bobby, you really made him cranky," Ronnie Anne joked." i guess the flute isn't your thing."
"Not the time sis," Bobby said." Sprigatito use razor leaf."
Sprigatito fires the razor leaf only to get bounced off its belly." talk about soft belly," Clyde said.
Snorlax fires a hyper beam and injures Sprigatito and the others," its strong," Lincoln said.
Sprigatito got back up and punched Snorlax in the belly, suddenly his paw glowed green for a bit until he was bounced off," what was that?" Bobby asked.
"I think that was drain punch," Lincoln replied as Sprigatito started glowing.
"Bobby look, he's evolving," Ronnie Anne said.
Sprigatito's appearance changed, growing bigger, standing on two legs, and appearing to be wearing a scarf," what are you?" Bobby asked pulling out his pokedex.
"floragato, the grass cat Pokémon, a grass type, the hardness of Floragato's fur depends on the Pokémon's mood. when floragato is prepared to battle, its fur becomes pointed and needle sharp," the pokedex explained.
"Awesome, then use drain punch!" Bobby said.
Floragato paw glows green again and punched Snorlax and drained its energy, with its energy drained Snorlax got woozy, thus Bobby tosses a great ball and caught it.
"Nice work Bobby," Lincoln said.
"Thanks bro, and I can tell he has a big appetite," Bobby said.
"I bet abuela's food will make him full," Ronnie Anne said.
"let's hope," Bobby said.
"In the meantime, lets continue to the town," Lincoln said as he and the others ride their bikes.
That's chapter 53, next chapter, the next progress report will leave the louds speechless.
who are the older versions of Lana, Lola, Lisa, and lily, where did they come from the future? or an alternate universe?
what connection do they have with the blond boy and Lincoln's look alike.
