Chapter 23 – A Heartwarming Homecoming!
"woo we're finally back guys, home sweet home" Tommy beamed as they walked into the town square however….
"Its rather quiet…" Sammy whispered to her two best friends.
There was not a single Pokémon in site, the shops were empty and the square was quieter than a library, there was nothing but silence…
"W-where is everyone? It was busy when we left" Megan said starting to feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Maybe we should just return to the guild, who knows maybe everyone's there?" A confused Tommy said faking a laugh.
"WHAT? The whole town? Are you dumb? Why would the entire town go there?!" Megan facepawed.
"Ya never know Megan, maybe they're holding a town meeting or something" Sammy piped in looking just as confused as Tommy and Megan.
"Let's go find out guys" Tommy said getting a little excited.
Our friends have finally returned to Destiny Town after a long mission and they couldn't be any happier but where is everyone at the moment?
"SURPRISE!"
"Ehhhh? What's going on?" A Started Tommy said as they entered the guild and everyone in town was here, Tommy had been right all along but why?
The whole guild was decorated in Banners saying "Welcome Home Team Ace" and the floor was covered in Balloons, in fact there was even a dance floor and music was playing and lots of little tables and chairs scattered around the room.
"Glad you could join the Party" Lucario beamed as he approached the three Pokémon.
"What is all this?" Megan asked with a look of confusion on her face.
"Yeah, Colour me confused" Tommy added.
"As the Guildmaster of this Guild here in Destiny Town, I'd just like to say welcome home Team Ace and since you left we were busy ourselves preparing this Party just for you, my friends and I knew you'd win anyway, nothing can get past you can it?" Lucario replied happily.
"You did this all just for us?" Sammy asked smiling a little bit.
"Exactly after all the hard work you've done well, you deserve it" Lucario said smiling even brighter.
"Wow, this is awesome" a starry eyed Tommy grinned.
"Yup, I agree there" Megan nodded in response.
"and there's a buffet table TOOOOO?, this is my kind of Party!" Sammy exclaimed excitedly as she noticed the table filled with food at the end of the room.
"Well what are you all waiting for, help yourselves and PARTAAAAY!" Lucario boomed and with that the party went underway.
A Few hours later…
The Party was still going, everyone was happy and smiling and Sammy was STILL eating, Tommy was on the dance floor dancing like a complete idiot but Megan…
"Why wont Tommy just see… how much I love him, how is he so dense…. Why wont he understand how I feel…. I just wanna be with him more than anything and…." Megan said to herself, starting to cry slightly looking down at the floor as she was sat down at a table "…I wish I could tell him how I feel".
"Hey, you okay?" she heard someone say from behind, she turned around only to see Tommy standing their smiling.
"Oh hi Tommy" Megan mumbled.
"What's wrong?" Tommy asked looking a little worried.
"Umm nothing" Megan denied, her face going a little bit red.
"If there was nothing wrong why are you crying" Tommy smirked.
Megan blushed in embarrassment at this as she rubbed the tears out of her eyes "Ya know, just thinking about stuff… personal stuff ya know"
"I see, so erm I was wondering if you'd Like to dance, we are best friends and I'd like to thank you for everything you've done for our Team" Tommy grinned cheekily.
"O-okay, I'd love that" Megan's face went red in a matter of only seconds.
Tommy grabbed her paws and brought her over to the dance floor, Megan was still blushing heavily at the very contact and they begun dancing slowly to the song that was currently playing… Megan couldn't believe what was happening, she had never been so happy in her entire life, it was absolutely magical and she never wanted it to end.
"I'm just so glad your safe again, Team Ace wouldn't be the same without you" Tommy told her causing her to blush even more, she felt like her head was about to set fire, that's how much she was blushing.
"T-thank you" She said quietly.
Suddenly the door burst open with a loud thud causing everyone to turn around to see who it was.
3 familiar Pokémon walked through the doorway… a Froakie, Frogadier and Greninja…. Tommy, Megan and Sammy all gasped in shock...
"Ugh where are we?" Bubbles asked his two team mates who shook their heads.
Tommy let go of Megan at once and approached the three evildoers "HEY YOU, YOU HAVE NERVE TO SHOW YOUR FACES TO ME AFTER WHAT HAPPENED!"
Team Hydro tensed up as they looked the Pikachu in the eyes… Tommy was not amused at all!
"T-twerp?" Bubbles gasped.
"What's going on here, who are these Pokémon?" Lucario asked looking at them with confusion evident on his face.
"These clowns are bad news, it's Team Hydro!" Tommy growled in fury.
"So you're the ones who took Megan captive and put Tommy and Sammy through pain?!" Lucario snarled in anger as he clenched his fists.
"Maybe that's true… Maybe it's not!" Frogadier smirked.
"I DON'T ALLOW CRIMINALS LIKE YOU THREE SCUMBAGS INTO MY GUILD!" Lucario roared, he was absolutely furious.
"W-well you see… hehe…" Bubbles started taking a step back.
"AURA SPHERE" Lucario boomed as he released a ball of energy and shot it towards them hitting them before they could do anything and were blasted off out the door and far away into the distance.
"Wow, you're awesome" Tommy said looking impressed.
"That was too easy, what a bunch of fools, criminals like them make me furious" Lucario growled at the very thought of them.
The party kept going all night long until about 2am and it was time for bed, it had been one fantastic night for the entire guild and the town.
"Well I guess its time to hit the hay" Sammy yawned, she looked exhausted.
"Yeah" Tommy agreed.
"Uh-huh, the food was good too especially the…" Megan started
"…Chocolate~" Megan and Sammy finished the sentence together and started to giggle.
Tommy facepawed at this with a sigh "Girls"
And so after an exciting night our heroes are all tuckered out, what awaits them next? Well we'll find out as the Adventure continues…
