Teamwork Between Two Treasured Friends

Oops, my fingers slipped multiple times on the keyboard and I made another fic with Arven. (With Mabosstiff this time!) It's not my fault he’s so adorable. I hope you all enjoy!

Series: Pokemon

Characters: Arven, Juliana, Mabosstiff

Words: 1,632

Summary: When Arven dodges a playful question from Juliana, the younger trainer turns to one pokemon pal who can giver her the answer. (Note: Slight spoilers for the pokemon of the False Dragon Titan battle, but nothing major to the story! Please enjoy!)

—

The academy ball compresses the grass underneath it as it skips across the ground. Its soccer ball-like patches of blue and orange swirl together in a blur. Four big paws pound behind it in a chase. As the ball decreases in speed, Mabosstiff scoops the ball up in his mouth. He makes a sharp turn and runs back the way he came, his short ears flopping as he runs, until he reaches his trainer sitting on his knees in the grass.

“Good boy Mabosstiff!” Arven vigorously scratches his canine pal behind the ears. Mabosstiff drops the ball.

“Woof!” a deep bark is returned by the pokemon, a swishing tail behind them.

“You know what that means?” Arven tilts the pokemon over with Mabosstiff’s cooperation, revealing the canine’s dark furred underside. He rubs his hands up and down across the pokemon’s belly, causing Mabosstiff’s tail to swish around even more. The dog lifts his paws so he doesn’t block his trainer.

“Aww, Mabosstiff likes belly rubs?” Juliana kneels down next to the two. Before she came over, she was at the picnic table where they were all taking a break from some berry hunting.

“Oh yeah! He loves them! Ever since he was a little Maschiff. Isn’t that right bud?” Arven increases the speed in which he rubs the pokemon’s belly.

“Bu-Woof!” the dark type’s tail wags around in glee. After letting out a chuckle, Arven moves his hands away and Mabosstiff lifts himself back to his paws. The dog pokemon approaches his trainer with an outstretched snout before raising his muzzle and licking the side of Arven’s face.

“Hehe! Bud!” the older trainer scrunches his shoulders and gently pushes at the dog. However, Arven flinches when Mabosstiff paws at his stomach.

“Ah! Bud! No belly rubs for me!” Arven releases another short giggle and the dog backs down for his trainer to pat his head.

Juliana softly laughs beside him. “Why? Is it because you’re ticklish, Arven?”

With a sharp inhale, Arven freezes, but his eyes continue to bounce around. “Uh…N-No. Don’t be silly! What would make you think that?”

Mabosstiff tilts his head and gives his trainer a puzzled growl. Arven returns a stern gaze towards the pokemon to silently say Shh! Surprised by his trainer’s attitude, the dog lets out a low, snarl-like grumble with a narrowed glare.

“You were laughing when Mabosstiff was licking you,” Juliana continues. “What else am I supposed to think?”

“Ah, right…that.”

“Arven,” Juliana isn’t buying his act. “You wouldn’t happen to be keeping any information from me, would you?” she says with a hint of mischief in her eyes.

“N-No! ‘Course not!” Another stutter. She’s totally on to him.

Juliana crosses her arms. “Uh huh…really. Okay then, let me ask someone else.”

“Oh please who are you gonna—”

“Mabosstiff, is Arven ticklish?”

Another muscle-tensing chill runs through Arven’s spine. That’s the one name he wishes he didn’t hear right now. The older trainer whips his head in the direction of his canine pal.

Using subtle movements, Arven shakes his head to signal Mabosstiff to answer the same. The big dark type glances over at Juliana, who’s still waiting for an answer, and then back at an internally panicked Arven. A toothy, crooked smirk, bearing some of the pokemon’s fangs, curves on Mabosstiff’s face. That’s not a good sign.

“Bu-Woof!” the canine nods at Juliana with a gruff bark, sealing the older trainer’s fate. Arven gasps and darts his big eyes towards Juliana, who’s now wearing a smirk of her own.

“Uh oh—” Immediately, Arven scrambles from his spot and makes a run for it.

“Mabosstiff! After him!” Juliana jumps to her feet with a smile. The dog pokemon barks in response and bolts ahead, the grass shuffling below their feet and paws.

Arven glances over his shoulder to see the distance of his pursuers closing in, but he skids to a stop when Mabosstiff swoops in front of his path. Before he knows it, Juliana catches up behind him and shoots her hands directly into his exposed underarms. He yelps and clamps his arms down, instantly breaking out into giggles.

“Gotcha Arven!”

“Wahahait! Lihihihittle buhuhuhuddy! Hahaha!” Arven twists around in Juliana’s hold to push her away, unfortunately allowing her even more access to scribble into his arms from the front. He steps back and loses his footing, crumbling backwards onto the ground. Not giving him a moment of escape, Juliana kneels down to the grass and darts her hands back towards his underarms and ribs, sending Arven once more into boisterous laughter. Mabosstiff grins and sits himself nearby, watching as his trainer is reduced to a puddle of pure joy.

“Now you’ll feel the wrath of the Tickle Monster Titan!” Juliana smiles above him while she pokes and scribbles at his ribs. Arven uses his arms as defense, but she turns her fingers into wiggling claws and easily finds open spaces to tickle him. “Bet you never heard about this type of Titan before!”

“Behehecause thahahat type dohohoesn’t exihihihist! AH!” Arven yelps as Juliana worms her hands back into his underarms. He frantically twists and squirms over onto his belly, kicking his legs behind him while he tries to nudge Juliana away. “And Titahahahans cahahan’t lehehehearn tihihhihickle!” He lets out another yelp and nearly collapses face down in the grass when she squeezes his sides, followed by her scribbling her fingers back to his ribs.

“Actually, it’s possible! Did you know that Dondozo can learn the move tickle? You’re lucky the False Dragon Titan we fought didn’t have it!”

“Julianahahaha!” Arven wriggles below her fingers.

The girl can’t help but laugh alongside Arven’s giggles. Suddenly, Mabosstiff barks to get Juliana’s attention. The younger trainer glances at the canine while still tickling Arven.

“Hm? What is it, Mabosstiff?”

With Juliana’s eyes now on him, the dark type rolls over onto his back, then points a paw at his stomach like he is asking for belly rubs. This time though, Mabosstiff quickly sits himself up, then tilts his head towards Arven with another smug, toothy smirk.

Juliana grins in response, understanding exactly what the canine was informing her of. “Good idea, Mabosstiff!”

“Nohoho Buhuhud! Dohohon’t give her any mohohore ideheheheas!” Arven pleads to his pokemon, who has knowledge of his weaknesses. Mabosstiff only replies with a low snicker.

Taking the pokemon’s suggestion, Juliana grabs the front of Arven’s shoulder and easily flips him onto his back, similar to how he rolled Mabosstiff over earlier, before darting her hands under his shirt.

“AHA! Julianahahaha!” Arven’s laughter quickly increases in volume when the younger trainer scribbles her fingers around his tummy.

“Mabosstiff suggested I give you a belly rub! Isn’t this a good idea?”

“NO! Nohohoho behehelly ruhuhuhubs!!!” Arven throws his head back, his bangs flipping with it, revealing even more of his giggly face.

“So it is because you’re ticklish!”

“Wahahas that nohohot clear alrehehead-EEEYYYY!” Arven tries to snatch Juliana’s wrists away from his tummy when she reaches an extra ticklish spot on the side of his stomach. His heels pound into the dirt while he tries to perform a weakened sit up to curl his middle. Mabosstiff observes the two, seeing his trainer attempt to escape. The mischievous dark type wont let Arven get away from the fun that easily.

Mabosstiff hops over to Arven’s side, then pins his trainer down with his front paws. To join in, the gray canine brings his muzzle down and licks his trainer’s neck again, causing Arven to giggle even more, especially when the older trainer accidentally twists his head to the side for the pokemon to hit the back of his ears.

“Buhuhuhud!” Arven now uses his hands to try and pull the heavy mop of a dog off his chest. At the same time, Juliana makes sure he doesn’t forget that he still has her fingers scratching along his tummy.

“See Arven! Mabosstiff and I are working as a team, just like Dondozo and Tatsugiri!”

“OKAY! Okahahay! Okahahay! Stohohohop!”

With that request, Juliana and Mabosstiff pull away, removing the pressure off of his chest and the fluttering motion on his tummy. With heavy breaths, Arven lifts himself a little on his arms. Mabosstiff comes around behind him. The canine nudges Arven’s back to give him a boost into an upright sitting position as the trainer leans back on his arms.

Juliana sits on her knees and smiles. “Well, it looks like I found the answer to my question.”

“Unwillingly, I would like to add…”

Mabosstiff licks Arven’s face again. “Ack, Bud! You know, you’re the one I should blame for all of this too!” the trainer uses both of his hands to energetically rub the sides of the dog's head.

“Woof!” Mabosstiff affectionately shakes his head with the movements of Arven’s scratches. The canine then runs off for a moment, before coming back to his trainer with the blue and orange ball in his mouth.

“Oh, so you think you can just play with me after all that?”

Mabosstiff swishes his tail and looks straight at him with his rounded, orange eyes.

Arven sighs. Lifting his head up as well as his hand, the older trainer scratches the back of Mabosstiff’s ear. “You’re lucky I can’t say no to that face,” Arven responds with a lingering smile. Mabosstiff barks again. He drops the ball into Arven’s hand.

“Go along, bud!” Arven holds the ball above his head before tossing it forward. With another deep woof, Mabosstiff takes off after the ball. Arven gets back on his feet and runs to catch up with his pal.

“Hey! Wait for me!” Juliana chases after them with a giggle. The three play together once more, throwing the ball between each other with happy, and healthy smiles on all of their faces.
