So, Meet The Sisters. They Are Triplets With The Same Mother, But Different Fathers (God Pregnancy Is

I feel like the people in my Pokémon ghost story are out of character. This was a hard one for me to write because I personally have never been in a relationship before so romance has always been super hard for me to write. Hope you guys enjoyed it anyways

For somebody self taught you’re really good at digital art! Keep it up 👍

Omg thank you!!!! 😭😭💕💕🙏

I wish I could show y’all the video my friend made that inspired this piece, but not only do I not want to show my real face, I also respect their privacy and won’t show anything that shows their real identity unless I have their permission.

I love you girls so much! We’ve been friends since we were kids and I am so blessed to have you girls in my life everyday!

📦 Ask Box is now Opened 📦

So, you all know about that “my friend Lisa” story? If not… then, stop what you’re doing and go look it up online or on YouTube! Anyways… other than Lisa, the three characters are mine. This is a drawing from a little girl named Lelu. Her real name is Lisa Lucy Hailey, but her sister Autumn called her Lelu and now she doesn’t want to be called anything but. Autumn is 19 and takes care of her sister all by herself, because of her parents will, and she’s not scared of her little sister like many other people are. Lelu is a medium, meaning she can see ghosts and talk to dead people. But Lelu is only 4 and hasn’t been introduced to life and death yet. Lisa and She (yes her name is She) don’t want Lelu to be anything other than her happy cheerful self, so they tell her that they had killed, is just sleeping and to leave them alone because it’s rude to disturb people while they sleep. Autumn knows that Lisa killed her father, but she’s fine with that because her father was abusive and cruel to her, her sister, and her mother. And yes… you heard me correctly, that shadow lady with 4 arms is named She. She was Lelu’s monster in her closet or under her bed. She mostly just sat there and watched Lelu while Lelu would just babble away with her at night. She didn’t talk much, but when Lisa went away for a while, She got stuck with babysitting Lelu. Lelu gave her some chocolate pudding and she started to get attached to her.

I love these four so much! Especially Lelu, she’s that little cinnamon roll as my classmates call her. So please send those ask in and Lelu and the others will answer!

Ask’ em anything!

Kanna’s First Christmas Part 3

The squad ran to Kanna’s house to tell her family what they found out, and the squad made a plan… it’s up to the sakamakis if they want in on their plan

Pokémon ghost story Part 3

    There are many things Nessa thought she would see in her life, some beautiful, some unexpected, some wacky and unexplainable… but never would Nessa have thought, that she would see a corpse… and not one… but two. Yet here she was… in Gloria’s hotel room that she was staying in for the month. Raihan sitting on the couch, still in shock and staring blankly off into space. Gloria was currently on the phone with Hop, telling him what happened. Hop was on the other side frantically yelling with worries, Nessa could hear him from here, and he wasn’t even on speakerphone. It was still better than when Gloria had called Victor to tell him. Her brother didn’t even give her a choice, he was coming over the second Marnie’s gym closed for the day. Guess that’s just regular brotherly protection.

    Nessa looked down at the small Pokémon bed, Kubfu was still crying with that damn doll in his arms. Gloria’s Pokémon were by the little teddy bear’s side, trying to comfort him. Flamey looked at Axel, Gloria’s Aegislash, as if looking for advice. Axel just gave him this Sawsbuck in the headlights look, telling Flamey that he was just as lost as him. He knows her, Nessa thought, he knows exactly who that doll belongs to, he knows exactly who murdered those two people… but how does he know her?! Nessa felt herself more on edge with each passing second. She thinks everyone in this room was.

    Gloria got off her call with Hop, she sunk into the couch cushions next to Nessa. She exhaled sharply and looked at her phone once more. Nessa could see over her shoulder she was texting Bede. The previous text showed Bede worrying about how Gloria was holding up after the incident, along with a photo of his Pokémon fooling around with each other, one of his subtle ways to try and cheer her up. Gloria gave a soft chuckle at the picture. Nessa tore her eyes away from the champion’s phone. Nessa needed to calm down, but she couldn’t, especially not with that doll in the same room as her.

    After a long, long, silence, Gloria broke the ice. “Nessa,” she said, “You drove by that lake, right? During the night of the gala.” Nessa bit her bottom lip as she quietly nodded. “Did you happen to… see anything… or… anyone?” Gloria looked at the water type gym leader, waiting for a response. Nessa looked up; a bit taken back by the question. Nessa looked at Raihan, who gestured her, “go for it”.

    Nessa cleared her throat. “W-well, yes actually,” she confessed, “there was this little girl I saw on the way home… I thought she was in trouble, so I pulled over. But when I tried to help, she vanished. It was freezing cold that night, yet she was dressed in – “

“In a blue summer dress with summer boots,” Gloria finished for her, shocking both gym leaders.

“H-how do you know that?” Nessa asked.

“Because I saw her… how she was floating above the water, right before she disappeared,” Gloria replied.

They were silent for a while once more after that. Until Gloria saw both Nessa and Raihan staring at Kubfu. “You think he knows who she is?” Gloria said.

“We know who she is,” Raihan spoke up, “she’s the little girl from the missing posters. She’s Gretchen Moya.”

“But that’s all we know,” Nessa said, “we don’t know anything else about her, but Kubfu…” She paused, looking at how Kubfu had seemed to fall asleep with the mossy Buneary in his arms. “He knows something… he must, otherwise, why else would he react to that plushy the way he did?”

“Yeah, I can feel it, I know he knows something,” Gloria paused, “… but I don’t know what.”

***

    Kubfu could hear them talking about him. He disliked it, but maybe it was better if they thought he was sleeping… or not, they wouldn’t be able to understand him even if he tried his best. They couldn’t even understand that Marill from the park, when he was trying to tell them that the bad human had taken his best friend. Kubfu smelled all the mud, dirt, and moldy moss on the plushy, but he didn’t care. Despite all the damage that the plushy had gone through, her scent was still etched into the fabric of the toy. It was still as comforting as it used to be.

    Kubfu felt soft yet firm paws stroke his head, he lifted his eyelid just enough to see who it was; Flamey with a concerned look. That’s sweet, but it still doesn’t change what I did… I don’t even know if I deserve any of this. He closed his eyes once more as he let her scent -along with all the grime- enter his nostrils once more. Kubfu didn’t focus or mind the dirt on the plushy, he only focused on the scent of his first savior. He became so focused on the calming scent and the comfortable head rubs that he felt his body succumb to sleep.

***

    Kubfu was lost! He wasn’t used to this environment! Why was it so cold? Wasn’t it supposed to be spring? Where was he? Kubfu forced himself through the bushes and just kept running. He didn’t know if those humans were still following him, but he didn’t want to take any chances. He couldn’t take any chances! He felt like he was running for hours, but eventually he found himself at a wooden fence with a loose board. Kubfu punched the board until it was opened wide enough for him to slip through.

    Kubfu felt his wounds sting as he fell into a bed of flowers that were almost bigger than him. When he looked up, he found himself in a garden of some kind. There were hydrangeas, daisies, sunflowers, and a rosebush. Kubfu was only thankful that he didn’t fall into that bush. Kubfu sneezed as the pollen got up his nose.

    “Huh?” A small voice squeaked. Kubfu froze, despite his mind telling him to run. “Aw! Hey there… how did you get in here? Woah!” Kubfu looked up as a small human with ebony hair pined with a white pokéball hairclip to keep it out of her blue and purple eyes. Those big eyes widened as she saw the condition this living teddy bear was in. Kubfu was frozen and felt too tired to run. He squeezed his eyes shut as he felt the tears welling up, this was it. All his cleverness that he used to escape from those humans that stole him from his home had been for nothing, he was so freaking tired, closing his eyes felt so good, maybe a nap would do him some good? Kubfu felt small soft hands cautiously rub the sides of his head, he opened his eyes to see this human, smiling gently as she quietly spoke. “Shh, it’s okay… you’re okay… I won’t hurt you, pinky promise.” Kubfu felt comfortable in this tiny human’s hands, and he didn’t know why, but for some reason, he believed her and her words.

    After a bit, he felt himself being picked up gently, and he didn’t try to fight or squirm. What was wrong with him? Did he have a death wish? Why wasn’t he fighting or flying? Kubfu was abruptly pulled from his thoughts as he felt cold water wash over him. “Raa!!” He squeaked. “Whoops! Is that too cold for you little guy?” The human girl said. Was she- was she trying to clean him? Why? Shouldn’t she be stuffing him into a pokéball or a cage right about now?

    Kubfu stared curiously into the human’s mismatched eyes. The girl smiled. “It’s okay, I’m you friend, my names Gretchen,” Gretchen spoke. She stroked the top of Kubfu’s head gently, Kubfu found himself nuzzling into the feeling. Gretchen giggled at the tiny Pokémon in her arms.

    The human who called herself Gretchen took him inside her home. Kubfu found himself devouring delicious foods. Sandwiches inside of Darumaka lunchboxes, fruit slices in the shape of Mudkip, Torchic, Hatenna, and many others. Kubfu doesn’t think he’s ever been this full in his life! Has he died and gone to heaven? He hasn’t had anything to eat since those humans kidnapped him from his home.

He looked over to the girl filling up a large pot with soapy water, she waited until he was finished with the final sandwich before picking him up and gently setting him inside the pot, it was far warmer than the water from the garden. Kubfu was warry, but this girl hasn’t tried to cause him any harm… yet. Still, that was more than he could say about the other humans he’s met. Gretchen took a warm hand towel and started rubbing the soapy water over other parts of his body.

    Once Gretchen seemed to have deemed him clean enough, she took him out and wrapped him in a towel, before grabbing a hairdryer and set it on the lowest setting. It was completely foreign to Kubfu, he tried swatting at the powerful air at first- causing Gretchen to giggle in amusement- before he eased into it as he felt his fur becoming softer and dryer.

    “There we go,” Gretchen smiled, turning off the hairdryer. She pulled a chair out from the dining room table, before using it to step on the kitchen counter, she grabbed the first aid kit from the top shelf. It was still a mystery to her why her parents left her home alone while they worked all day, yet they put the first aid kit completely out of reach for her. Gretchen pulled out one of the purple potions. “Okay, just so you know, this will sting a little, but just like daddy says; ‘when it hurts, that means it’s helping,’” Gretchen warned him. Oh, that’s what it was. For a moment, Kubfu thinks that he let his guard down for too long and got too comfortable with this human. Even if she wasn’t fully grown yet, she was still a human, and therefore, still just as dangerous.

    Kubfu squeezed his eyes shut, wondering just how much this will hurt. He felt something wet and cold spray mist across his body, causing his wounds to sting a little. The mist sprayed once, then twice, then twice more on his backside, the mist made his wounds sting a little, but it wasn’t painful. “There you go, all done!” Gretchen said cheerfully. Wait… that’s… that’s it? Kubfu opened his eyes and looked at her confusingly, that’s all? Gretchen grabbed a stuffed Buneary plushie, heading over to Kubfu. “Mama and Daddy will be home soon, I don’t know if they’ll allow me to keep you, but they don’t have to know,” Gretchen winked. Kubfu was a little confused, but he liked this human. He gave a smile back, “Raa!” he squeaked.

***

    Kubfu’s wounds have fully healed now, yet he still stayed. It turns out, Gretchen’s parents didn’t get home until late at night, they both worked full time jobs just to make ends meet. They left her notes on the fridge and left a lot of her favorite meals for her to heat up. But Gretchen didn’t seem to mind, especially now since she has a friend to play with. When her parents were home, it just meant that Kubfu would have to stay in Gretchen’s room until the early morning when they left for work.

    Today Kubfu and Gretchen, along with Bun-Bun (What Gretchen named her Buneary plush) were watching a bit of TV, and frankly, Kubfu’s mind was blown! There was this human man on the screen with a Charizard, fighting this other human man with a Duraludon. The man’s name was apparently Leon, and the man he was fighting was Raihan, they were in a Pokémon battle for this “Championship”, and they were down to one Pokémon each. The Charizard looked tired and beaten up, the same could be said about the opposing Duraludon. But as if the battle couldn’t get any more heated, both trainers returned their Pokémon to their pokéballs. Kubfu was confused at first, the battle wasn’t over yet, what were they doing?

    “OH! OH! Look! Look! Their about to do it! Dynamax time baby!” Gretchen said excitedly with stars in her eyes. Kubfu watched in wonderment as the pokéballs grew to the size of watermelons before his very eyes and when they threw the pokéballs behind them, the Pokémon not only looked different from before, but they were almost bigger than the stadium they were in! Kubfu’s eyes widened with wonder and amazement. How was that possible?! Fire and dragon aura filled the stadium and before he knew it, the Duraludon was defeated, and shrunk back to normal size before being returned to it’s pokéball.

    Gretchen soon grabbed Kubfu and started shaking him back and forth. “Did you see that?! Yet another victory! The champion keeps his title once again! Those two have been at each other for years! I can’t wait to see what will happen this season with all the new challengers! Maybe this will be the year where a challenger will get to dethrone the champion! Oh! I wish I was old enough to be the one to fight Leon!”

    Kubfu started feeling sick from how much she was shaking him, but he understood her excitement. Kubfu looked back to the screen, the crowd seemed to be cheering, the Charizard had shrunk back down, Leon was stroking him and seemed to be praising his partner. Kubfu had only seen toxic and even abusive relationships between trainers and their Pokémon, so to see someone care so much about them was a bit surprising to him. It’s almost like how Gretchen and I are, Kubfu thought. He paused at the thought… he never thought of himself as a tamed Pokémon. If he was going to be honest, he only ever thought about getting stronger, evolving, and staying wild forever. But being with Gretchen and watching the Pokémon and their trainers on the television… he glanced at Gretchen, she was wearing her favorite Milotic t-shirt with a navy-blue skirt. Maybe… I mean, she already takes care of him, and if he was honest, he probably trusts her more than he's ever trusted any other Pokémon.

    No, what was he thinking? But she’s not like other humans, if anything she was just a lonely little girl. No friends, no family to make time for her, it was just her and Bun-Bun against the world. But the duo had become a trio with Kubfu around.

   Kubfu’s attention was pulled back to the TV, Leon was shown doing some kind of pose, and before Kubfu could question what it was, Gretchen bounced up and down excitedly as she mimicked the champion’s moves. “It’s called the Charizard pose! It’s super iconic!” She spoke. The Charizard pose? Well, it looked fun! “Ra” Kubfu smiled. He mimicked along with her. “Hehe!” Gretchen giggled.

    Kubfu giggled, this really was a perfect moment. Maybe living with a human wouldn’t be so bad, after all; he’s never been able to get three meals a day with all the nutrients, he’s never had a warm soft bed, he’s never had someone tend to his wounds, he’s never had someone love him. He looked at the white pokéball in her hair once more… well… if Gretchen asks him… he won’t deny her. He might even be her first partner if she wants.

   As the commercials came on, the girl became silent. “Hey, Kubfu,” Gretchen said, “thanks. Thank you for being my best friend. I don’t really have many friends, and when I do, they always want something from me, or just use me as a dumping ground for their issues and they don’t really do the same for me.” She looked at Kubfu and picked him up, she held him high above, smiling. “Kubfu, I really want to help you get stronger, I want to go on adventures with you, I want you to become my first ever Pokémon partner, would you like that?” Kubfu thought for a moment that she could read his mind. Kubfu just simply stared at the girl who had saved his life just a month before. He didn’t know how to let her know just how much he wanted that, then he had an idea. “Raa!” He exclaimed, as he did, he did the same Charizard pose he saw the TV.

    Gretchen’s face lit up at the pose. “I knew it! You want to be with me too! Alright! Kubfu, I promise you that I’ll be with you and always take care of you forever,” she promised him, “let’s go to the championship together!” Sounded like a plan to him!

***

    Kubfu awoken to the smell of fresh curry floating through the apartment, surely that wasn’t Gloria’s cooking. Sure, her cooking was edible, but it wasn’t the greatest either. Kubfu rubbed his eyes as he looked down to see that Bun-Bun wasn’t with him. “Ra!” He cried. Where was Bun-Bun? Why wasn’t Bun-Bun here with him? She was here when he fell asleep!

    Nessa sat down in one of Gloria’s t-shirts. She decided to sleepover for the night, the police wanted to question her and Raihan about the bodies for the investigation. But if this would help solve the mystery of little Gretchen... She looked to see Gloria cooking bone and coconut curry while looking at the texts Bede had sent her. Nessa assumed that they were texts with recipes or cooking tips. Nessa will admit that she was a little scared to try Gloria’s cooking with how her Pokémon acted to it. Raihan was currently using Gloria’s shower, and Nessa could tell that he was just as messed up as she was from what they saw earlier that day. Nessa found a steaming hot coconut mixed with bone curry placed in front of her, it looked good. Nessa picked up a spoon. Looks okay, she thought, as she gave it a sniff. Smells okay. She took a bite. Tastes magnificent!

    Nessa suddenly chowed down, ever since Bede started teaching Gloria and Hop to cook, they have both improved greatly. Nessa looked at her Pokémon, she gave them a thumbs up, its safe to eat this time! That was all they needed to start eating. Nessa and Gloria have not really spoken a word since they all suspected Kubfu knew something about Gretchen. “Hey,” Raihan called, he came out of the hallway in boxers and no shirt, he was drying his hair with a towel.

“Raihan,” Nessa whispered, her face flushing bright pink, “Put some clothes on! We are not at home!” Raihan seemed to remember and grabbed his t-shirt.

"Eh, it’s okay,” Gloria said, “Victor tends to do that, even before he started to date Marnie, it used to drive Mom insane. And I had to share a room with that guy my whole life!” Nessa and Raihan chuckled.

    Raihan still put a shirt on anyway. Flamey seemed to be helping Gloria with the dishes, which was cute. “I didn’t know Pokémon could wash their own dishes,” Nessa smiled.

“They don’t usually, but Flamey has been a neat freak since he was a little Scorbunny, he actually learned from watching me and then tried to mimic me, guess he got fed up with my messy habits.”

    Nessa smiled, almost enough to forget about the horrific sight they saw earlier… almost… Nessa looked to the living room, not able to see Kubfu’s bed from here, but she could only assume that the Pokémon was still asleep. Gloria had taken the plushy from him while he slept, according to her; he was holding on to it tightly even while he slept. Nessa wonders if he met Gretchen while she was alive, or if he had watched her die… it would be a traumatic event for anyone. Nessa hopes Kubfu would understand, that plushy was evidence, the police said they would be here tomorrow morning to pick it up. Which was fine by Nessa, if she was going to be honest, she did not want to spend another second looking at that thing.

    Raihan sat next to Nessa, eating his coconut bone curry. Raihan never understood why everyone made such a big deal out of Gloria’s cooking, it didn’t taste at all bad to him. Nessa said that he would learn someday. Once the dishes were finished, Gloria finally dished up her own plate and sat down. “Thanks for the food, Glory,” Raihan said.

“It’s no trouble whatsoever,” Gloria responded.

    “Raa! Ra! Ra!” Kubfu squeaked loudly. Before anyone could look in his direction, the teddy bear Pokémon had hopped up on the table, not caring that there were plates below his feet. “Ah! Huh!?” The trio exclaimed. “Kubfu!” Gloria scolded. Kubfu paid his trainer no mind. Kubfu looked frantically around, she had to be around here somewhere! Where was she!? Kubfu’s breathe quickened, but no one seemed to notice. Only the Pokémon eating could make out what he was saying and panicking about. “Bun-Bun! Where’s Bun-Bun!?” Kubfu shouted in his Pokémon cry.

   “Cinder!” Cinderace got up and dashed to the laundry room. Axel tried to get Kubfu off the table but before he could, Kubfu hopped down and onto Tyr’s belly. Tyr, Gloria’s Tyranitar, looked at the tiny Pokémon with immense concern, this wasn’t like the Pokémon at all! “Kubfu! Come here!” Gloria stood up, Kubfu was bouncing everywhere with curry on his paws, he was making a giant mess! What was up with him?! Kubfu continued running around the apartment, looking around frantically.

    “Ra! Ra! Ra!” The tiny Pokémon continued to cry. “Kubfu! Stop! Come here now!” Gloria tried reaching for him. “RAA!!!” Kubfu shouted, his paws turned ablaze as he furiously glared at Gloria. Only when Gloria stepped back in fear did Kubfu come to his senses and realized that he almost used fire punch on his own trainer! Kubfu looked around, his teammates looking at him in concern and disbelief. Kubfu hiccupped and started to break down, he cried his little heart out.

    “Kubfu…” Gloria said softly, she cautiously reached out for him, and pulled him into a warm embrace. Kubfu sobbed his Pokémon cry futilely apologized over and over to his trainer. “Shh~ it’s okay, it’s okay,” Gloria whispered. “G- Gloria,” Nessa said softly, “has he- has he ever tried to do that before?” Gloria simply shook her head as she continued to comfort the crying Pokémon in her arms.

    What was Kubfu thinking?! He almost hurt his trainer, his friend! It was bad enough that he had that reminder that he failed once at protecting his last friend, but he almost directly failed once again! Kubfu just kept sobbing in his trainer’s arms, it wasn’t until Flamey made his presence known once again that he looked up from Gloria’s chest. Cinderace was holding Bun-Bun in his paws, looking overly concerned for his teammate. Kubfu’s eyes widened. There she was! Kubfu hopped out of Gloria’s arms and ran to Cinderace as he set Bun-Bun down, Kubfu hugged the toy with all his might, sobbing more than he was while he was in Gloria’s arms, it that were possible.

    Gloria, Nessa, Raihan, and their Pokémon could only look on as the Pokémon had found what he was searching for so frantically. Flamey kneeled and stroked the top of the sobbing Pokémon as he was reminded of that wretched day.

***

    They almost got him! If Kubfu hadn’t fought his way out of the pokéball, he would have been captured by the same people that had taken him away from his home in the first place! Kubfu wanted to go back to the garden! He dashed through the trees of Wyndon Park, he was just here with Gretchen having a picnic. “Oh, hey there you are Kubfu,” Gretchen said as she saw him fall out of the bushes. Gretchen’s smile faded however when she saw how scarred Kubfu was. “What’s wrong?” She asked concerned. Kubfu ran to her and hugged her tightly.

    Gretchen heard something, she looked at the crate she had brought for them to use as a picnic basket. Gretchen held Kubfu, wondering what had scarred him so bad. Gretchen gasped as she heard growling from the trees, as a Houndoom emerged from the bushes with a man wearing a creepy grin behind him. What the heck was a Houndoom doing in the Galar region? They didn’t come here, not unless someone had brought them from another region. Gretchen grabbed the crate and put Kubfu inside as she stood up.

    Kubfu peeked out of the crate, looking at the man that had tried to capture him. “Well, hello there little missy, ~” the man said, as if trying to start a pleasant conversation. Gretchen didn’t respond, she continued to eye him wearily. “What are you doing here? In a park? All alone?” The man bent over to meet Gretchen’s Hight. Gretchen took a step back, trying to send him her best glare. “I’m… I’m not alone, and I’m not supposed to talk to strangers,” she said. The man stood up straight, as the Houndoom stepped closer, growling louder. “Down boy,” the man told him, “it looks to me like your alone,”

    Gretchen glanced down at Kubfu. “I’m here with my partner Pokémon,” she said convincingly. The man threw his head back and laughed. “Well, I’m going to need your little partner Pokémon,” he said. Gretchen looked at him in disbelief. “Why should I even think about giving Kubfu to you?!” She shouted, “What do you want with him?!”

    The man’s smile faltered. “Just make this quick missy and give him to us,” he growled. “No! Never! Go away!” Gretchen said, as she dashed away. The Houndoom took this as his cue and chased after the little girl.

    Gretchen cradled the crate and ran as fast as her little legs could carry her. She didn’t even know how fast Houndooms could run or sprint, but she knew that she would never let them take Kubfu. Kubfu peaked out of the crate just enough to see where Gretchen was running to. Why was she heading to the bridge? That was still under construction. When they were on the bridge, Gretchen screamed as the Houndoom bit her sky-blue summer dress, she tripped and fell as she dropped the crate. Kubfu braced himself for the fall as he was launched out of the crate. “Oh finally,” the man from before said as he marched over to Kubfu. “Ra!” Kubfu squealed in fear, hiding in the crate once more. “This was starting to become tedious,” he said picking up the crate with the terrified Pokémon inside.

    Gretchen gasped as she saw the bad man pick up the crate with her friend inside. Gretchen had to think fast, she looked over to the side of the bridge, maybe she could push him over? Gretchen got up and sprinted towards the man. “Let. Him. GO!” She yelled pushing the man to the side, causing him to lose his balance, he dropped the crate containing Kubfu over the side and into the water! Kubfu screamed as his crate splashed into the water. “Kubfu!” Gretchen cried. That wasn't the plan at all!

    Gretchen was grabbed by her neck and lifted off the ground, she couldn’t breathe. “You little shit!” The man snarled, “I can’t go back empty handed, my best bet is if the team will pick him up at the end of the river!” He paused and glanced over to the side and looked back to Gretchen. “I wanted to be nice little missy; I really did… but you brought this on yourself.” As he said that, he marched over to the side of the bridge and hurled Gretchen over the side. Kubfu could do nothing but watch as his best friend plummeted into the water with a loud splash! “Wait! -” Gretchen screamed, her head sinking under the water as she flailed her arms frantically, “help! Please! I- I can’t swim!” Kubfu cried as the currents sent him further and further down the lake and towards the rapids, hearing Gretchen’s cries and pleas for someone to help her, praying to Arceus to save her. It wasn’t until Kubfu was sent down the rapids that he couldn’t hear her cries or begs anymore. As his crate floated down the rapids, he could only pray to Arceus that he would save his partner.

    Kubfu somehow fell asleep in that crate, waiting for it to hit land. Although, it wasn’t until one morning he found someone opening his crate on the beach. He found a little boy with blonde hair, blue earphones, and a pink sweater opening it. His name was Hyde, he was with his father, Mustard, who took him in and trained him. But nothing could stop him from thinking about Gretchen. He didn’t think he would ever meet another human like Mustard or Gretchen. That was until a trainer named Gloria came to Mustard’s dojo and took him away from the island. He joined her team, got stronger, and was treated like family. It almost felt like he was with Gretchen once again.

    Kubfu never gave up hope that he would see Gretchen again, there were plenty of people at the park that day, surely someone heard her cries and came to help. Kubfu looked at the crowds during his battles, thinking he would see her cheering on, or she was watching the matches from home on the TV! Watching him and cheering him on just like she would do while watching Leon’s matches. When Kubfu and his teammates defeated the undefeatable champion Leon, he could only imagine Gretchen when he sees her again. He did it! He defeated Leon! Even though that was something he and Gretchen promised to do together, he could only imagine how proud she must be for him.

    Kubfu had so much hope that the day would come where he would see her again… but any and all hope he had was shot down and terminated the second he saw Bun-Bun. Bun-Bun was covered with moss and debris. Gretchen would never ever go anywhere without Bun-Bun, she carried her around everywhere. So, the fact that Bun-Bun was here… and not at the house, in the same spot that they had their picnic together all those months ago… Gretchen was… she was…………… dead…

    Which was why Kubfu didn’t want to let go; he spent all this time thinking that she was safe and at the house, when really, no one had come to save her, no one had heard her cries, no one had found her body, no one knew the truth about what had happened to Gretchen Moya. Not even her parents must know that their little girl will never return home.

***

    So, here he was now, hugging Bun-Bun as tightly as he could, like how he wishes he could’ve held Gretchen instead. He didn’t want to let go… not ever again. Bun-Bun was all he had left of Gretchen, he didn’t care if her parents wanted it back, they were never even there! He didn’t care what the human authorities would do if he didn’t give them Bun-Bun. He didn’t want to let go… not ever again.

So I will be continuing the Lelu saga now that the second chapter of Poppy Playtime is out! And I can finally get back to it, now that I have ideas for the story!

Seriously though, if I could get some asks about Lelu, that’d really help my story line.

Sneak peek of part 2???

She’s supposed to be modeling as advertisement for the upcoming pokemon festival… and the location happens to be near her almost crash scene… will this shoot go off without incident? Or will some unwanted guests ruin Nessa’s day?

Nessa sat her glass of champagne down, and glanced over to the new champion. It looked like Gloria was trying to keep a fight between Bede and Hop from breaking out… again. Nessa found herself smiling, wondering if those two will ever be on good terms with each other, probably never. Although… despite the fact that Bede and Hop don’t get along, they both tend to come to a truce when it comes to Gloria. Hop’s reason was just for typical childhood best friend protection, but Bede’s… well, it was almost like watching a hallmark movie in person.

Opal was sitting at the same table as Bede, watching with the same amused look. He is doing far better though, Nessa thought, ever since Opal took him under her wing, and after that man was put away, he seems so much happier now. Nessa personally didn’t know Bede too well… but even during their short encounter during the gym challenge, she could tell there was some kind of inner demons he was dealing with. It was bugging her for quite some time, and now she’s just grateful that Bede has finally found someone he could consider family.

Bede flinched and looked away as a blush flushed across his face when Gloria cutely hugged him. Nessa’s grin grew wider at the sight. She totally ships them.

“Hey Nessie!~” Of course… she barely had any room to talk when it came to romance. Raihan snuck yet another selfie with his girlfriend. “Raihan! No more pictures tonight, please!” She complained, although a part of her was smiling in amusement. This was what? The eighth? The eleventh picture now? Nessa loved modeling and all, but now it was starting to get annoying, especially since it was all just going to end up on Raihan’s blog anyways.

“What? I can’t take pictures to show the people of Galar what a beauty my girlfriend is?” Raihan said with a grin.

“Not when you’ve been doing it for the entire night,” Nessa did her best not to stare, but Arceus damn! It wasn’t often she got to see Raihan in something other than his regular hoodie and gym clothes. Raihan should honestly consider wearing a suit more often. Raihan looked over to the trio Nessa was eyeing earlier; Bede, Hop, and Glory had all sat down with Ms. Opal and it seemed like the tension was resolved between Hop and Bede… for now, anyways.

“Me and Gordie got $50 on those two getting together by the end of the season,” Raihan stated smirking.

Nessa tore her eyes away from them and looked back to him, a little taken aback, but not surprised. “You guys bet on this?”

“Yeah why? Is that wrong?” He asked cheekily, chuckling as she rolled her eyes at him, “Hey, him and Pierce did the same thing with us and now look!” That she couldn’t deny, even if they’ve only been dating for several months now.

“You act like we’ve been together for a few years, when it’s only been a couple of months,” Nessa sighed.

She should’ve guessed what was going to come out of his mouth next after seeing that shit-eating grin of his. “Hey it seems a couple of months is enough for our little ‘after parties’ if last night was anything to go by.”

Nessa nearly spat out her drink as fluster and embarrassment quickly made its presence be known on her face. “RAIHAN!” She hissed. She swatted at his arm as he laughed almost loud enough to catch people’s attention at the charity gala.

Why did she decide to date the one person who drove her crazy half of the time again? “I really hate you sometimes,” she grumbled.

“Nah! That’s not true! You love me, and you know it,” Raihan said.

“Shut up, Raihan!”

“Make me why don’t ya?”

Nessa responded by a short, soft kiss on the lips. Despite that cocky attitude Raihan liked to display, a kiss or two seemed to be enough to shut him up… for now.

Before Raihan could take yet another photo of them, (this time Nessa was willing) a slow dance song was played. “Hey, wanna have one last dance before this party ends?” Raihan asked holding out his hand. Nessa finished her glass off and took his offer. They were joined on the dancefloor by a couple of other pairs, two of them being; Victor and Marnie, and Sonia and the former champion himself, Leon. Nessa rested her head on Raihan’s chest, letting herself fall into the rhythm and movement of the dance. This night was perfect, everyone here together after months of nonstop work as gym leaders or research, what could happen?

And as the party ended… wouldn’t you know it? All of the Sky Taxies were full! Raihan wanted Nessa to take his place on the Taxi, but Nessa had brought her rental car for them to arrive in anyways, so she sent Raihan off, promising to drive safely. Safer than Raihan anyways, he drank far too much tonight to be driving in her stead.

As Nessa got situated in the driver’s seat, she finally noticed Alister sitting right outside her window. “AH! Oh! Hoo!” Nessa jumped. How does he do that every single TIME?! “Um… Hi- Hi Nessa,” Alister stuttered as Nessa rolled down her window.

“Hey, Alister, you scared me there… again,” Nessa laughed weakly, still coming down from her shock.

“S-s-sorry, but- but I had to tell you something,” Alister said.

“What’s up?”

Alister played with his hands for a bit, stuttering and trying to let the words come out. Nessa, like the rest of the gym leaders, knew Alister struggled socially, so she was patient with him. “I- um- I- I’ve been- I’ve been feeling something strange… near a certain area of Wyndon… and it-it’s probably nothing… but uh… I wasn’t going to bring it up to anyone because they were all taking the sky taxies… but uhm- be careful? Please?” Alister asked.

Nessa found it a bit odd… what certain spot was Alister talking about? Where was this specific spot? What was it that made him feel uneasy? One by one, questions were floating through her head. “Okay, thank you Alister, you be careful going home too alright?” She said reassuringly. Alister nodded and waved goodnight.

The drive to the hotel Nessa and Raihan booked was a long one. It was currently 1:17 am, Nessa was tired and felt her eyelids were getting heavy with each passing second. Maybe this was a bad idea, maybe she should’ve just waited for one of the Taxi’s to come back. But she was already more than half ways there, not much further.

As Nessa drove in the dark, she felt uneasy as she drove underneath one of the many bridges of Wyndon. Nessa shivered as all of the sudden it was freezing cold. She looked at her thermostat, it was 41 C, Weird… it was just 77 a moment ago… Nessa didn’t think anything of it, and simply turned it back to what it was before.

The drive was more unsettling as Nessa discovered there were fewer and fewer cars on the road with her, and before the water type gym leader could realize it… she was the only one at the next stoplight. Nessa didn’t know if it was her paranoia or if this was the certain road Alister told her not to go down, but the chills never stopped, and now she could feel as if someone was following her, but when Nessa looked in her rear view mirrors, she was the only one on the roads as of right now. Nessa left one hand on the steering wheel, and placed the other on her purse. If anything did go wrong… at least she’d have Drednaw and the others to back her up.

As Nessa felt she was being a bit exaggerative, she focused herself, knowing she would hear from Raihan later if he caught wind that she was scarred. Nessa looked at her GPS, only two blocks away from the hotel. Nessa smiled in relief as this would all be over soon. Nessa felt herself beginning to relax as she drove by the lake, she once did a shoot for, she remembered the Pokémon there well, the sweet little Poliwag, the kind Lapris, and the cute little Marill that basically stuck to her leg for the whole shoot. Nessa smiled, that was also the lake where she used to go with her father as a child.

Nessa pulled herself out of her thoughts, before she got distracted by memory lane. She was almost there, just a little bit more. As Nessa drove under yet another bridge, she saw something that made her slow down… there was a child… alone… on the side of the road… and at freaking 1:55 in the morning! Nessa slowed down, staring, until she came to a complete stop… this didn’t seem right. The child was alone, no adult in sight, wearing a sky blue dress that reached down to her knees, and it was 44 degrees outside!

Nessa wondered if she should call someone first, but out of fear of the little girl running off, she rolled down her window. “Hey, honey?! Kid!” She called out, with no response, “Sweetie! Kid!” Nessa tried again, louder this time, there was again… no response. This time, Nessa blew the horn… nothing… not even a flinch, the girl’s back was still turned away from her. Nessa was a little creeped out, no response or even a reaction. As creeped out as she was… this little girl could need help. Nessa unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car; she was just going to go to the little girl herself. As Nessa closed her door, she looked to where the little girl was… or rather… would’ve been. The little girl was gone.

What in Garentina’s dimension? Nessa found herself worrying now… where did she go? Or was it just her mind playing tricks on her? It was almost 2 in the morning, and she was exhausted. After spending 12 minutes or so calling out for the little girl, there was no one in sight. Nessa chalked it up to her own imagination, blamed her tiredness, and went back to her car, although she still couldn’t shake the worry she felt for the child.

Nessa was only one block away from the hotel, and thought the rest of the way would go without incident. But then came the frost that grew on her windshield way too suddenly, as the streetlamps flickered. It was freezing! Nessa could now see her own breathe in her car! The frost grew and covered the windows and her mirrors. Nessa stopped breathing as she heard a raggedy breath, and looked over to the passenger seat.

There she was… there was the little girl… only now that Nessa could see her face… she wish she didn’t. The girl’s skin was paler than Alister’s, her eyes were empty sockets, and her black wavy hair was all in her face. She wore a sky blue dress with some summer boots, and held a well-loved Buneary plushy in her lap. She just stared at Nessa with those blank eyes of hers.

Nessa saw her in her passenger seat, she screamed as she swerved across the road, hitting the breaks as hard as she could while steering away from crashing. Nessa knew you were supposed to just go with the car, and take your feet off the brakes until your tires touched the roads again, but she did it entirely on instinct! Nessa screamed full voice as she screwed her eyes closed, hoping that her incident in this car would be painless as long as it was over already!

Nessa felt her car stop abruptly as she was finally on the road again instead of ice… her eyes cautiously opened to the size of saucers, taking in shallow breathes as she greedily sucked in air. Nessa cautiously, slowly, and shakingly took her hands off of the steering wheel, still coming down from the shock of her near death experience. When Nessa finally came down from her shock, she patted her entire body, making sure she was still here and alive. She gasped as she remembered her Pokémon, only to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw they were still in their poke balls undamaged in her purse safe and sound.

Nessa didn’t see any frost covering her windows, no streetlights flickering, and when she looked over to the passenger’s seat… there was no girl or her Buneary plushy anywhere to be seen. What in the name of Kyogre just happened?! Nessa knew she should’ve gotten out of the car, maybe she should just walk the rest of the way to the hotel? She should’ve just drove past the little girl… or was that little girl even there to begin with?

Nessa touched the sides of her temples, starting to contemplate if this was all just in her head… maybe she just drank too much, even though she only had two glasses of champagne and wine tonight, but still… maybe this was all just a hallucination… even if she knew that couldn’t be it, because she felt her tires slip off of the road and onto the ice, but this was the only reasonable explanation she could come up with. Nessa thought about what she should do or should’ve done… but in the end her body acted for her and she resumed her driving the rest of the way to the hotel.

***

It’s been a week and a half since the almost crash scene. Sometimes Nessa wonders what would’ve happened if she had crashed, what would be in the papers? “Famous model and water type gym leader died in fiery car crash” or “Water type gym leader Nessa hospitalized from crash.” Or worse; what would’ve happened to her Pokémon? Nessa shuddered at the thought of anything terrible happening to her beloved Pokémon.

Nessa had decided not to tell Raihan or the other gym leaders about her almost near death experience, just chalking it all up to hallucinations from the alcohol and wine. Nessa had contemplated whether she should tell Alister about the little girl or what she assumed was the spot in Wyndon that made him feel so uneasy. But ultimately decided against it. Nessa wasn’t sure why she didn’t tell her boyfriend or the rest of her fellow gym leaders, maybe out of fear of being told what she’s been telling herself for the past week. But the more time that pasts, the more she is convinced that maybe it wasn’t a hallucination.

Nessa was pulled back to the present when Raihan tapped her leg. “Helloooo?~ Galar to Nessa! You alright?” Raihan asked. Nessa looked at the two other people she was in the flying taxi with; Bea and Milo. “Oh… um… yeah… sorry I guess I just… spaced out for a bit there,” she said. Raihan looked at his girlfriend with a concerned look. “Yeah, ya know, you’ve been doing that a lot lately…” he stated, obviously wanting to know what was up.

“I have not!” Nessa said stubbornly.

“Actually, Raihan has a point,” Bea joined in, “ever since the Gala, you’ve been acting… weird… almost as if you’re not fully here…”

Nessa looked to Milo, who nodded in agreement with Bea’s statement while wearing a concerned look as well. She cringed and mentally scolded at herself for making it that obvious. There was silence for a beat of wings or two, before finally Raihan placed his hand on top of Nessa’s. “Babe,” he said, “something had to have happened on your way back to the hotel that night, you haven’t been yourself since then, and honestly; everyone inside this league can see it… we just want to know what’s going on.” Nessa looked away for a moment, slightly reminded of why she fell for Raihan in the first place. Raihan rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand slightly, waiting for her response. Just as Nessa opened her mouth to speak, the taxi landed with a thud!

“All ashore let’s go ashore!” The taxi man called down laughing. They had arrived at the Wyndon stadium. Nessa looked out her window, one by one, other flying taxi’s that contained the other gym leaders from across Galar had shown up for the start of this year’s season. Nessa looked back to Raihan, who is still looking at her with those pleading eyes of his. Nessa felt a twinge of guilt inside her for making Raihan, one of the most carefree people she knows, worry like this. “Meet me in the lockers after the matches and I’ll tell you,” Nessa said, jumping out of the taxi quickly. Nessa quickly speeding past Bede helping Opal out of the taxi with Gloria and the former steel type gym leader, Peony, inside.

As Nessa was about to go into the stadium, something caught her eye on the bulletin board outside. This board normally contained battle information and battle schedules, but today there was something different. It seemed to be a missing person poster, with contact information and everything. Nessa stepped closer to see who was missing and… felt her heart drop and heard her heart pounding in her ears.

It was the little girl… from the night at the Gala. Only this time she had eyes… beautiful heterochromia eyes, with her right being a pale purple and her other being ice blue. In the photo, the child was cuddling the Buneary plushy that she held in her lap that night, she wore a lavender top with a Milotic on it and blue shorts, with a premier ball clip in her hair to keep the bangs out of her eyes. At the top of the poster read in bright red bold letters:

MISSING!

Gretchen Moya

It’s kind of funny, the sun was out, and if you let it’s warm rays wrap around you… you will feel so warm and fuzzy, but even with the sun out… Nessa felt just as cold as she did that night in the car. She took two little steps backwards, away from the photo… this… this just confirmed… what she saw that night… was no hallucination. Nessa felt the color drain from her face as her breath picked up speed. She didn’t notice some of the gym leaders had stopped to look at her. “Nessa? NESSA!” BONK!

“OW!” Nessa was pulled back to reality once more when Opal had whacked her with her umbrella.

“Ms. Opal!” Bede protested, “terribly sorry Nessa, you can’t take her anywhere.”

“Maybe I should’ve whacked you with this!” Opal threatened holding up her umbrella once more.

“Never mind those two, but Ness… honey? Are you alright?” Melony stepped forward with a concerned look plastered on her face.

“Yeah, you look like you just saw a ghost,” Gordie joined his mother.

Nessa didn’t speak… couldn’t speak… but she should’ve… it would’ve been better than what she did next. Nessa simply turned away from her fellow gym leaders, from her friends, and walked into the stadium to get ready for the day’s matches, leaving the others outside confused and concerned.

Part 2???

I will go down with the ships that are in this! (For real, HOW is Nessa x raihan so underrated???)
