PokèDruids [PkmnWattys2016]

The Beginning of the End

---
Ugh. I'm going back to edit this and make it higher quality for the Wattys, and I just... Ugh. Remembering that this was supposed to be funny, I kind of laugh at how much I should just kill everyone off for being idiots. But even if I did, I know you guys would get super sentimental over it and not laugh. I mean, 75 chapters ago, if I said l,"Sicily burst into flames and screamed, 'Fwaaaah! Fwaaaah! The flames! FLAMES! THEY LICK!", you guys might laugh. Now, though, you care... And it's different. Maybe this is how most masterpieces start.

Unfortunately, I must inform you of the state of this story. You see, despite how short and unenjoyable this journey has been, all things must come to an end. Because the story of young Eros is soon to draw to its close, these following events have happened over the span of a year, during which many characters had undergone training and lived their lives with much indifference. It is important to state this now since the following passages in the story pertain minimally to the correct chronological order, have no specific span of time between the events, and are free to the reader(s) to perceive as they will.

Also, bathroom passes will only be handed out to one boy and one girl at a time.

Eros stretched his arms out and made his way out of the cot. The fort sure was looking up, now that all the angst from the previous chapters has died down, and for once is he appreciating the very sunlight. "There must be a new game coming out," he told himself. "Maybe some new Pokemon. Ah well, too late to add them to the story now." Eros was reflecting/telling the readers upon the previous two weeks or so, where Bidoofy, Manus and Dusk had left for their own excursion. He and Sicily were practicing trust or whatever by not fighting anything and just hanging about, sometimes playing games or training with each other. Not much else could be said, since the week was rather dull compared to the rest of their adventures.

Then, contrary to before, Eros found a rather shaken-up Bidoofy walking up to him on a catwalk. Bidoofy stated, "Chamberlain wanted to see you and Sicily."

Eros smiled. "Ah! Where have you and the others been? You went somewhere cool, right?"

"Yeah, yeah... Oh, by the way, Sicily's choking on something just around the corner."

"What?"

"I don't know. She started speaking quickly about romantic movies or something and fell over pretty funny. I think she was faking it."

"... I see." Eros waved as he darted towards aforementioned corner, where Sicily was lying on the ground on the floor level. Eros climbed down the catwalk and approached her body, which twitched a little but appeared otherwise unconscious. "So you're choking or something?"

Sicily didn't reply. Her eyes were shut and the slightest smile still lingered on her face.

Eros continued, "Oh! I learned about this in animal sciences! ANIMAL RESUSCITATION!!!" To Sicily's surprise, Eros clamped her mouth shut and started to blow a ton of air up her nose, making her stand up and regurgitate on the ground around her immediately. "Success!"

"DAMN IT EROS!" But he was already bolting away, suspecting of her plan from the start. "One of these days..." Then, as she noticed Bidoofy approaching, she conversed with him. "Oh, hey! So how did that little adventure go?"

"Well, we were- uh, it was... You see- uh..."

"Bad time? I can understand," stated Sicily, who changed to an unusually friendly tone. "I've been on a few adventures, too, you know."

"Yeah." Bidoofy glanced to the side for a while, uncomfortable from what he had done. "Pretty dark stuff. Oh, and before I forget," then, with a gesture off towards the beach, "Chamberlain wanted to see you and Eros."
