Sunrise in paldea…pouring through the windows of the Naranja Academy. One sunbeam fell on a Pokémon whom had been asleep. Until the light touched him. Their eyes shot open as they stood up. It was a Koraidon. It was a Pokémon that either was an ancestor of Cyclizar or a counterpart form another prehistoric-themed dimension (they weren't a hundred percent sure). But where ever they came from, their new home was with their new mistress. It was a brand new day and they was going to enjoy it.
So they scampered over to the bed where their mistress slept, her arms around her mate (she didn't need sleep but she enjoyed doing it). So they jumped on the bed and started…whatever it was for a sound they made. It's hard to describe. It is like having a vulpine Pokémon like Nintales. You expect them to bark like a canine Pokémon like Growlithe due to being similar. But instead they made a sort of yipping sounds.
"I'm up, I'm up!" Juliana said as she shot awake. A groggy Nemona just groaned. "Diablo, there is a way to wake us up gently, you know?" the Koraidon just tilted their head in confusion. "But since we're awake, let's get dressed and go out.
Diablo yipped again, jumped off the bed, started spinning in circles and pawed at the door waiting to be let out, as Juliana and Nemona got freshened up and dressed.
"Juli, your bike lizard is like a Meowth and a Growlithe fighting for control of the same body." Nemona said.
"Yeah, he's a goofy lug…But he's mine." Juliana said with a fond smile. She scratched Diablo behind their ears as he purred; She finally opened the door and he immediately shot out.
They rapidly zoomed up and down the corridor. Then climbed up the walls and then zoomed across the ceiling like they did on the floor. "They have the zoomies…" Nemona noted.
"Seems like it…" Juliana said.
Two students, Cornbread and Seasoning whom totally were not the Explorers' Admins Coral and Sidian were minding their own business. "Ok, if we keep our head low we…" Coral…I mean Cornbread, definitely Cornbread began as suddenly Diablo crashed into them. They were knocked on the floor when Diablo freaked, out, tripped and squirmed as they tried to get back up. They slipped a few times before moving left to right as if to decide which direction to flee to before bolting down a corridor. "…Ichi, nii…San…Sango! I'm coralbread…Cornal…Carol…whatever!" Cornbread said as she fainted.
Sidian, whom just lay down upon the floor, muttered a very monotone: "Ow!"
"I'm so sorry, zoomies!" Juliana said as she passed them and tried to catch the Koraidon.
In the cafetaria a student grabbed a container which had a red ragout-like sauce in it. "Only thing better then good food, is Leftovers of good food. Which means I can eat the food again. Mom's pasta sauce will go great on some bread with cheese…" the student said as he fixed his sandwich.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Arven said to the student.
"Why not?" the student asked.
"You're new here right? Well, Juliana has a Pokémon that has a sandwich obsession so you better eat fast before…"
A growl sounding like the mix between a motorcycle starting and a large animal he couldn't decide sounded. "What was that?" the Koraidon, tongue hanging out, came charging in, moving towards the new student. "Holy Drilbur!" he took a run for it, sandwich high above his head as the big red lizard chased him.
"Keev, give him the sandwich!" Arven said.
"Never! It's mama's sauce!" Keev said.
Arven sighed and pulled something out, his own sandwich…he whistled and Diablo turned around and came at Arven. Arven gave them the sandwich which they ate in a single bite. They locked their lips before nuzzling Arven, whom just sighed. "They say you're a bike, but I think you're more of a disposal…" Diablo looked at him with a happy, dopy expression. Arven reluctantly patted his head. Then Diablo took off again. "Oh of course, the zoomies."
"Thanks for saving my sandwich…sorry about yours." Keev said.
"It's ok." Arven said.
"Halfsies?" Keev said as he broke his sandwich in two and held it out.
"Could have made another one but I want to know why that pasta sauce is so special…" Arven said as he took it.
Juliana and Nemona came into the room. "Diablo…"
"Took my sandwich and left." Arven said.
"I think your puppy's broken." Keev noted. The two champion girls just left and went to find Diablo again.
Ortega of Team Star was in his workshop, tinkering. People tended to forget he is a bit of a tech whiz. He had put a part on the side to integrate in the project next. Diablo strolled in the workshop and eyed Ortega. "Oh, it's you, you big lug." Ortega said. The Koraidon eyes the part which was close to the edge and lifted their paw and started moving it. "Don't!" Ortega said. Diablo retracted their paw. They waited a few moments and tried again. "Nope!" They pulled the paw back again. They reached out again. "Ah!" Ortega said, raising a finger. Diablo held up their paw again. "GET OUT!" Ortega shouted.
Diablo ripped, turned around and took off, but not before slamming their tail into the workbench by accident and knocking the part to the floor. Ortega sighed as he said: "I needed that!"
"Oh, so they were here." Juliana and Nemona were in the doorway.
"I am so sorry about Diablo, I can replace the part…" Juliana said.
"It's fine, I'll fix it, just let me work in peace!" Ortega said. The two girls took off as Ortega focused on his invention again.
At the theater, Atticus was directing his next play. "Ok, first everyone get dressed, the outfits are in this bag…" Everyone started to take outfits.
Then Diablo came in and poked their head in…and ended up with a sweater over their head that was too small and hence they were blinded. They shook their head and jumped up and down before bumping into a wall before finaly realizing they had paws. They removed the sweater from their face. They looked around a bit before taking off.
"That was adorable and funny, I recorded that!" one of the stage actor students said.
Juliana and Nemona came in, Juliana raising her finger, but Atticus interrupted them and pointed with his thumb. "He went that way." The two nodded and moved forward. "Anyhow, we take it from the top…" Atticus said, turning to the crew.
Giacomo was outside, setting up a DJ table outside, to bring some life through music in the courtyard. He was setting up as he heard some yips. He recognized those as Diablo's. He turned around as they kept yipping and bouncing with each yip. "What is it?" Giacomo asked.
Diablo runs off for a bit, grabs a large tree branch and gave it to Giacomo. The dark-type user sighed. "Fine, fetch!" He threw the stick and Diablo went after it. A few times they brought it back, Giacomo throwing it between his setup. However, the next time they brought it back, the stick was noisy. He saw that instead of a stick, Giacomo saw that Diablo had brought in a Sudowoodo whom was squirming in Diablo's jaws.
"Woody, no!" a student screamed as he ran after Diablo.
"Diablo, put it down!" Giacomo sighed as he massaged his temples. Diablo did so, the Sudowoodo getting up, nearly slipping and returning to his trainer. Giacomo raised and eyebrow and asked: "You lost the stick, didn't you?" Diablo whimpered and gave Giacomo the confirmation. "Well the Sudowoodo wasn't hurt but please don't do that again."
Diablo suddenly perked up as the zoomies returned full force and shot off. Nemona and Juliana arrive. "We seem to keep missing Diablo today, do we?" Nemona asked as she panted.
"At least we got our workout in." Juliana said.
"He went that way…and keep him away from Sudowoodos in the near future."
Eri and Mela were just hanging out, sitting on a bench as they went over some studies together as Diablo approached them.
"Hey, Diablo!" Eri said with delight. Diablo yipped and rolled on their back, exposing their belly. "Oh, of course you want a bellyrub." She says as she gave it to them. "Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?" Diablo yipped happily as they kick their hind leg in the air.
"That beast is spoiled." Mela groaned.
"You want me to rub your belly later?" Eri asked.
"…Yes." Mela said blushing. Diablo got up and perched their chin upon her knee, staring at her with puppy dog eyes. Mela rolls her eyes. "Fine…" she said. As she scratched them behind the spot where their ears should be and they purr. "Three hundred kilos of muscle and scales, and they are basically an overgrown house pet."
Koraidon yipped and took off again. Juliana and Nemona came in again, panting. "Diablo was here. I gave him bellyrubs." Eri said happily.
"Say when we are done chasing your hyper steed, how about I rub your be-" Nemona said.
"Eri already used that pick up line." Mela noted, and Nemona pouted.
Penny was walking down the hall as suddenly she sees two eyes which have yellow sclerae, orange irises, and brown pupils. She would recognize those everywhere. It was attached to a mouth from which now the tip of the tongue was peeking out. "Please don't!" she said softly, but it was too late, and Diablo start licking all over her.
Later on, Nemona and Juliana had finally caught up. Penny rubbed her recently washed face with a towel. In the background Diablo was having a tug-o-war with Penny's Eeveelutions, using one of those dog rope toys. The six of them were dragged around despite their efforts by the huge dragon/dino/Bike creature.
"I'm sorry, they got the zoomies, we weren't able to catch up in time." Juliana said, rubbing the back of her head.
"It's fine." Penny said, sounding a bit moody. She looked back. The Eeveelutions were tuckered out, panting as Diablo was on their back, moving like they try to scratch an itchy spot on their back. "I want to but I can't stay mad at them. At least they seem zoomed out."
"Ok, you had enough fun and bothered enough people Diablo…what do you say, want to have a battle?" Juliana asks; Diablo jumped up and yipped happily, wagging their huge reptilian tail. "Sorry again for the inconvenience, Penny."
"Again, it's fine." Diablo approaches them and nuzzles her. "I forgive you, you big slobbering dolt." She said as she pets him.
"Ok, now that's over with, it's time to battle. Diablo, get ready!" Juliana said as Diablo got in their apex stance.
"Go, Yang!" Nemona said as she summoned her Kommo-O. She stood tall and growled…Before she started to dart up and down the battlefield before shooting off. "Yang, no!"
Both of Nemona and Julie's Pokémon got out of their Pokéballs, rand around in disorganized ways before shooting off in different directions, aside for Diablo. Both girls sighed. "What are the chances they all get the zoomies at the same time?" Nemona asked.
"Math isn't good enough to say precisely so I'll say, pretty small…" Juliana said. Diablo assumes their crawling stance again and Juliana and Nemona climbed on top of him. "Let's gather them all up! Go, Diablo!"
The rest of the day ended up devoted to corralling all of these hyper Pokémon.
TRIVIA
I watched funny pet videos, they were the inspiration for this. Diablo is called after a Diablo sandwich, fitting due to his appearance and diet. Keev is my author avatar and once again I'm making my character the butt-Mankey. I don't know why I included Coral and Sidian from Horizons, and I'm not sure how canon the anime will be to this.
