Oh hey, today is Samurott's Birthday. Anything special planned? Or is it still just more training?
“Training is always the priority!
...Um. Well. General Rhydon baked me a cake. Although he made one for King Nidoking too, but they told me it was from both of them.
Lilligant made a few flower bracelets, since her flower crown didn’t work out. Greninja and Chesnaught just got back, so they just trained for a little bit and offered to take me out later.
And...Typhlosion got an assortment of candy, including some imported konpeitō, since he overheard me talking about craving sweets lately. And that was rather...well, sweet. Um. Don’t tell him any of that.”
Hey, did you hear that Gen 8 is coming out soon? Guess that means I should update my fanfic, since it’s going to be 2 generations behind, whoo! I find this very depressing.
Anyway, this is the latest chapter, which departs from the Iceberg Empire and back over to the Grass Fields Kingdom. You know, because they’re both important and stuff should happen in both spots.
So, here’s that new chapter! Except below.
...
Behind a shop along the market road, Samurott and Typhlosion stepped before their tutors and turned away from them, facing one another. Blaziken and Swampert watched as their students focused.
"Remember, unspoken oaths this time," reminded Swampert.
Both nodded, as Typhlosion smirked and lit his collar. Samurott took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it.
"Shouldn't they face the targets?"
"Hush, Blaziken."
Sprinting forward as the fire crackled, Typhlosion charged and raced around the yard. Samurott eyed him as his partner focused back on him, shifting his steps, and lightly scooping the space around him.
Slowly, Samurott waved the air before him, with light water whipping from his hands, as he shifted his stance around. Typhlosion spiraled his arms as he ran, with embers encircling them. Samurott rotated his wrists, and followed with his arms, as water swirled in the air around them. Typhlosion raced toward him, flames bubbling as he hurried closer.
Their eyes met as they smirked to one another.
...
The boys...! They’re going to do some things together! ...Be warned, this is a long one.
Okay, so here's a quick list of drawings that I seriously need to do: *Draw something for my best friend (he's going through a rough time right now.) *Fan Art for one of my favorite users on DA *Fan Art of VolcanicSamuraiShipping and various other OTPs for @echoeternally *Fan Art of Frogabusken and FlamingArrowShipping for @rott-ing-root *And even more Fan Art for my other fav blogs
“Might as well! His fluffy cheeks and lips need it!”
“Hey, you need kisses too!”
“It’ll serve as a good warm-up for our wedding!”
“Like you need the excuse to smooch.”
“Oh good, Gallade, come hither.”
“Yes, my lady…wait, did you seriously use ‘hither’ out loud?”
“Where’s my darling wife? Accelgor, come on out!”
“I’m literally just behind you. Don’t make a big thing of it.”
“Does it matter by this point? Can we kiss, or am I still refraining from that?”
“Well…ah, screw it. Kiss me, honey, I need you!”
“Crush kisses? Uh…that’s probably not wanted…”
“Wait, but…oh, don’t walk off again…”
“Hmm…care if I join in on this? I’ve got plenty of crushes to cross, ohoohoo!”
“Are we done yet? If we go over every couple, we’ll be here all day. And that’s not even counting those no longer with us, so cut down the smooches already!”
What did Typhlosion get Samurott for his birthday?
“A new horagai, a musical conch shell. It’s my first one from here, though, and I haven’t had one since home…I should probably start practicing…it might even double as a jinkai, a war shell. …He got a really thoughtful gift…”
I normally get this stuff posted at a better hour, but I’m panicking because yet another Pokemon generation is ready before I’m done with this fanfic, so I needed to get this done! Because!
Anyway, this is the latest chapter, which departs from the Iceberg Empire and back over to the Grass Fields Kingdom. You know, because they’re both important and stuff should happen in both spots.
So, here’s that new chapter! Except below.
...
In the castle's main hall, Nidoking watched from the second floor's railing, as Rhydon tasked Scizor, Armaldo, and Heracross for a supply run. The latter two nodded, but Scizor rolled his eyes, snapping a pincer before folding his arms.
Though Rhydon frowned, he continued to read off his list and ambled by, watching as Samurott shifted the arm from a displayed suit of armor.
"Lastly for today's purchases, we're looking to see what decorations might be of use, specifically floral arrangements," listed Rhydon. "We were hoping—"
"Oh, for hell's sake, why do you need us to look into that?" Scizor lowered his arms and narrowed his gaze. "Seriously, flowers? Why would you need us to look into that, especially if you're probably going there yourself anyway?"
"…We were hoping you could pick us up a catalog for the arrangements," finished Rhydon. "But, if that is too much trouble, you're right, and I could go tomorrow."
"That's not a problem," amended Armaldo. "We'll stop by and pick one up with a free minute."
"Thank you, and thank you all for your efforts." Rhydon smiled. "I know it's a lot, especially when you could use the time for additional training, but—"
"It's not a big deal, sire," insisted Heracross. "We trained for today, so, we're free enough to help out."
"Truly, I do appreciate it."
Bowing, the three knights strode from the hall, muttering and bickering to one another as they departed. Rhydon sighed and dropped his shoulders.
...
If you think that’s where the troubles end, ohoho, that’s actually where they begin. Yeah, it’s a long chapter.
Typhlosion, did you forget Samurott's birthday was a few days ago? The 12th?
“Oh wow, you remembered those too? Nice. Um. Anyway, I uh, I remembered. I just didn’t mention it, since…well, you know. Besides, it’s fine. He might not even notice the present that I left him.”
“You mean what you left on my bed with the cake on the dresser?”
“What?! You…got them? Uh, but I didn’t sign anything…oh gods, am I that obvious? I-I wasn’t trying to be weird! Honest! Um. I’m going, bye!”
“Wait, Ty, I wanted tell you that I…liked…everything. …Why must he run off like that nowadays…?”
HOLY fucking SHIT good for you Ty finally actually admitting it to him (also oops) Also, Lilligant and Gardevoir would have been a fun couple also also yay bears you're all great also also also yay two kings have the best wedding (also are Bisharp and Armaldo going to kiss?)
“My life is over and I want to diiiiie...but thaaaanks...”
“I think we might have been a fun couple too! Imagine?”
“Don’t put it like that! I’m trying to get over this!”
“Hey, we had actual and noteworthy development! Fancy that.”
“We did? Oh yeah. That’s nice.”
“Yeah, it only took like 20 freaking chapters!”
“We’ll have the very best wedding...like no one ever did...!”
“Stop, no, and do not do that. But yes, our wedding will be wonderful.”
