Shocking Fire

Chapter 51

Spacia's POV

I watched Crash and Mystie talking, and Crash held a hand behind her back with her fingers crossed. I sensed trouble, but i shrugged it off. "That was Mystique, wasn't it?" Curren asked. "Yeah." Warp answered. "She's cool!" Jira exclaimed, then rushed off to Lolliess and Fissurr. "And hot." Arc added. I shoved my head inside my jacket. Does every conversation have to do with stuff like this? The group of people that i had joined consisted of Mrowr, Mewstia, Curren, Flaserra, Trian, Armorus, and Thrive. Fissurr and his girlfried were by the meadows with Jira, Darakia and Warp were walking aroud, talking, and Terra was leaning up against a tree, playing on a small console. "You fall for everyone Armor." Mewstia said, rolling her eyes. "Besides, she wouldn't be interested in you." Mrowr said, smirking. Mewstia high fived him. "Oh really? Why is that?" "Because she's a fighting machine that can kick butt and you can barely lift a rock." Arc huffed and sat down. Thrive shifted his weight, pressing a bloodied tissue to his face. He had gotten a nosebleed in the middle of the girl's sparring, confirming Mystie's superstitions of his crush on Dieserra. We all sat down in a clump. "Hey, Spacia, is Mystique your girlfriend?" I stopped breathing and stared at Mrowr, bewildered. "Nn-" Charly burst out of her pokeball, scaring me even more. She formed on my lap. "Nah. Spacia doesn't really believe in dating." I regained myself and stroked her. "I believe in it, it's just i don't do it." "Who's this?" Mewstia asked, delighted. "This is Charly." "How old?" "She's eight years." "Aww..." Mewstia pet Charly's head. "Want to see something even more adorable?" She asked, standing up on my knees. "Sure." Charly opened Star's pokeball, releasing the baby Eevee. She mewed with confusion and blinked. Mewstia had a happy fit, picking up Star and talking in a high pitched voice. Mrowr put a hand on her shoulder. "Mewy, i don't think she likes that." Star did look slightly scared. "Oh, i'm sorry Eevee." Mewstia placed her down. "Her name is Star." Charly said, perky. "And she's only looking for her Mama." Star looked around, spotted Mystie, and ran over to her, chirping. Arc raised and eyebrow and looked at me. "You sure you're not dating?" I groaned. "Yes! Star just grew so overly attatched to Mystie that she thought she was her mother. She lost her real mom when she was about a day old, and she found the 'motherly' aura in Mystie. So naturally she thinks Mystique is her mother." "How old is Star?" Mewstia asked. "Four years." Mewstia sent out a small Eevee. "Her name is Kiwi, and she's three years old. Maybe they can be friends!" Mystie ran over, Star in her arms. She was back in her normal attire. She was followed by Crash, who was back to normal as well. When the blonde walked up, the tissue on Thrive's nose grew redder. I handed him another, and he blushed while switching them out. "Oh! Thrive! I didn't hit you while sparring, did i?" Crash crouched down next to him and tended to his nose, feeling for fractures. His blush intensified. I looked back at Mystie, who had let Star down by Kiwi. "She just jumped into my arms. Did she miss me?" Mystie sat down next to me and ruffled my hair. I hid my blush in my collar and chuckled. "Apparently." "Why did Star run all the way over and jump into Mystique's arms?" Crash asked helping Thrive up. "She thinks i'm her Mama!" Mystie said, flinging her arms in the air. She chirped and then did a gravelly coo, causing Star to stop playing with Kiwi and jump into Mystie's arms. "Where did you learn that one?" I asked. "Experimentation. I did it once near her and she stopped doing whatever and joined me." "Charly is teaching you too much. Your head will explode." She rolled her eyes. "Don't worry your pretty little head about my head." She remarked sarcastically, and I chuckled. Arc poked me with his foot and i looked up. "You positive?" I facepamled and grumbled out a faint "Yes...". Mystie didn't hear us, she was playing with Star and Kiwi. "Hey, Armor!" Crash motioned to him. She was in a group huddle with the 'group'. Armorus stood up and joined them. Aquoa and Gallant walked from Mystie's side to the group huddle, talking internally. Jira bounded up. "Whatcha guys talkin about?!" He jumped into the conversation, and they shushed him. "Whatcha guys talkin about?" He whispered. They all let him in, but Trian left in disgust for some reason. He walked over to Terra to see what she was doing. He pulled out the same console she had and gamed with her. Charly left to play with the baby Eevees, so I stood up and threw out Daro. Mystie jumped up, excited. "Hi Daro! I'm Mystie!" Daro nodded to her. "Hello Mystie." She scratched his head, and in an instant he was like putty in her hands. "How is it every single one of my pokemon start to like you within the same minute they meet you?!" I asked, patting my Dragonite's head. "Maybe because i'm awesome." She said, letting go of Daro. "Are you saying i'm not awesome?" I asked, lifting an eyebrow. "So what if i am?" She said, raising an eyebrow back. "I guess i'm better than awesome. Phenomenal, perhaps." Mystie cringed, beaten at her own game. "Nah. You're more of a 'so-so' kinda person." I rolled my eyes and gave her a 'really?' look. "Okay, okay. You're cool. Happy?" I nodded. "Better." "Not better than awesome, though." Mystie said, smiling. Daro gave a gruff laugh and looked at me. "Looks like you were defeated, Spacia!" I shook my head. "Nah. I let her win. It's only polite." Mystie elbowed me in the gut. I doubled over. "What was that for?" I wheezed. "It was only polite." Daro laughed. "Yeah yeah." I straightened myself and punched his shoulder. He continued to chuckle. "See Hyu? If you're nice to people, they might be nice back." She hugged Daro, and i rolled my eyes. "Last time i tried to hug Daro he shocked me." "Hey! I was practicing Thunderbolt!" "You know Thunderbolt?" Mystie asked. "Nah. I forgot it to learn Draco Meteor." "You know Draco Meteor?!" Daro chuckled at Mystie's awe. "Yupp." "Cool!" She scratched Daro's head again. She met my eyes and looked back at Daro. "Send out your other pokemon. I want to steal them too." I laughed and sent out Kyle and Gren. "Hi guys. I'm Mystie." She knelt down and pet Gren's fluffy head. He made a sound similar to purring, but since he was an Arcanine it sounded different. He tolled over and Mystie laughed and rubbed his stomach. "Who's a fluffy Gren? Who's a good Gren? You are!" She collapsed in a fury of giggles, laying on Gren. "Mystie, you've cracked him. You are a pokemon whisperer." She smiled and made whisping noises. I laughed and pat Kyle's head. "But can you get through Kyle? He's a wierd Samurott, let me tell you that." I cringed and laughed. Kyle bumped me with his hip, annoyed. "What? I asked, then scratched his head. He smiled and rubbed against my hand. "Hey, you're a pokemon whisperer too!" I laughed and guestured for her to try. She sat up and motioned to Kyle. He walked over to her, and she stroked his head. In an instant, he was belly-up, resting his head on her lap. "See?!" I said, laughing. Mystie laughed too and stroked Kyle, cooing. "Heh heh... that tickles." He said, smiling. Mystie tickled his neck a little bit before patting him. "Okay big guy. Get up." He obeyed and i returned him along with Daro and Gren. Heatran walked in then, followed by Zekrom. "Alright, everyone. It is time for bed. It's almost eleven pm. Zekrom will be a night guard to watch over you." Heatran announced, and everyone started to unpack. "No, not yet. We have to get your dorms up first." Heatran's eyes glowed, and she brought an entire stone house out of the ground. Everyone rushed to claim a room, there was one for everybody, and i got one with red walls and a white king bed. I kept my things in the duffel bag and deposited of my jacket, shoes, socks, and gloves. I closed the door and changed my pants to my sleeping shorts. Star jumped in a few minutes later, followed by her sister. Heatran called for everyone to come outside when they had changed. I walked out and sat next to Mystie, who had on a loose white shirt with her leggings. Every boy was pretty much in their shirt with comfortable shorts on and every girl had on some sort of sleep attire similar to Mystie's. "Everyone is not allowed to roam the halls without the nughtguard's permission. Girl's bathroom is on this end of the dorms and boy's is on the opposite. All pokemon are to be in their pokeballs." I returned Charly but hesitated to put Star in her pokeball. I looked at Heatran, and she nodded. "You can keep her out." I sighed with relief and cuddled Star. "Goodnight!" Heatran said, and we all retreated to our rooms. Star jumped onto the bed and curled up by my feet when i slipped under the blankets. I fell asleep quickly.
