Tomodachi Muyo!

(Ash): Hi, you may know me by names such as; "Ash Ketchum", "Red", or "That Twerp from Pokemon", but in this fan fiction I will be referred to as "Toraeru Satoshi". This story is an account of strange events that happened a few years after my Pokemon Journey saga. How many years? Eight. As you may know if you play the "Gold" or "Silver" versions of the Pokemon GB Games, you know that I am confined to Mt. Silver (in which I have [ahem] a, very, extensive vocabulary, ...... .......). Anyway, I'll tell you how I got there, soon after the Jhoto seasons, Misty (or Mizuno Kasumi) and I started dating. I know, I hear the shock in your voices. Brock (Iwakura Takeshi) just sort of disappeared at this point and we never really heard much from Tracey (Shitagaki Kenji). After about a year Misty and I broke up. Why? She was two-timing me that's why! And I ran off to Mt. Silver vowing to never love another girl again. I spent six long years in that cave, kept getting bothered by this kid named "Silver"... Anyway, we pick up the story the day I leave Mt. Silver...

Scene: A cavern in Mt. Silver. Satoshi is packing what few possessions he has with him when Pikachuu enters.
(Ash): Now, even if you aren't reading this story for Pokemon, I'm sure you've heard of my friend, Pikachuu. Pikachuu has been determined as a he and is apparently going through puberty, thus it has quite an attitude and a sick mind.
Pikachuu: Pika pi? Pikapika, pikachu?
(Translation: Satoshi-sama? Why are you packing your stuff?)
(Ash): Oh, by the way, any lines spoken by any creatures that can't speak human language (i.e. Pikachuu & Ryo-ohki) will be translated.
Satoshi: We're going back home.
*Pikachuu looks confusingly at his master.*
Satoshi: Look! It's been six years! No man in his right mind should hold a grudge against a woman for that long! *under breath* No matter how much of a bitch she is... *to Pikachuu* So let's go!
(Ash): Small note, there is a small amount of swearing in this story (mostly euphemisms, "bitch", and "bastard"), so parents of young children may want to screen this.
*Pikachuu jumps onto Satoshi's shoulder and they leave.*
Scene: Pallet Town. Toraeru-okusan is in her garden (where else?) when Satoshi walks up.
Satoshi: Mom?
Toraeru: Huh?
(Ash): Just to let you know, my mom hasn't really changed much , except, I think she notices me more when I walk in the door, now.
Satoshi: It's Satoshi, your son.
Scene: Inside Satoshi's house. He and Toraeru-okusan are sitting on a couch.
Toraeru: So, what are you going to do now that you've left that cave?
Satoshi: *hands rested behind his head* Start a new life somewhere and forget that Kasumi-chan was ever a part of my life.
Toraeru: You aren't still mad at her are you?
Satoshi: Mom, have you ever been two-timed? It hurts!
Toraeru: I know, honey, but you should still forgive her.
Satoshi: I'm not forgiving her until she apologizes, and I'm not giving her that opportunity!
*Satoshi's hand rests on a pamphlet.*
Satoshi: *picks up the pamphlet* Hmm? What's this? Kuchiba University?
Toraeru: Something your father sent a few years ago. He's even been sending enough money for tuition.
Satoshi: *stands, still holding pamphlet* This would be the perfect place to start a new life!
Scene: A University hall. Several students are walking up and down the hall, Satoshi is among them looking completely lost.
Satoshi: Now where-
Tora: You look lost, do you need any help?
(Ash): This is an old pen-pal of mine, Frodo Frigid (Yamano Tora). I never mentioned him in my original saga because he mysteriously disappeared when I was eight, and I never really felt the need to bring him up.
Satoshi: No! I'm, just not sure where I'm going...
Tora: You sound lost to me. What class are you trying to find?
Satoshi: *annoyed, hands Tora a piece of paper* That first one on there.
Tora: Oh! I can get you there in a snap! My name's Tora, what's yours?
Satoshi: Satoshi.
Tora: Coo! Well, here you are! I gotta run off to my class! Bye!
*Tora runs off to his class.*
Satoshi: *fades off* Thanks...
*As Satoshi walks in, he accidentally runs smack into Aikirei. *
Aikirei: Whoa!
*She falls straight to the floor. *
(Ash): Smooth, eh? The girl here is Crystal Stars (Anou… First day of college and I knock a girl down!) *to Aikirei, helps her up* Are you okay?
Aikirei: Yeah... *sees Satoshi's face, blushes, then quickly hides it* You're new his year aren't you?
Satoshi: Yeah.
Aikirei: *releases herself from Satoshi's arms and recomposes herself* We better get to our seats, m- my class is about to start soon and the sensei is quite strict about being tardy.
Satoshi: *still blushing* Okay.
Scene: After the afternoon classes end, outside. Satoshi is walking around, still trying to figure the campus layout when Aikirei approaches him.
Aikirei: Hey!
*Satoshi looks her way and trips over his feet, landing smack down with his face on the grass.*
Aikirei: *runs up to him* Are you okay?
Satoshi: @_@ Yeah...
Aikirei: Gomen ne! I didn't mean to startle you! It's just, we didn't get to talk much and, I didn't get to see you much the rest of the day, and I was just wondering, I never caught your name.
Satoshi: *gets himself up, spits some grass out of his mouth* It's Satoshi, how about you?
Aikirei: My name is Aikirei.
Satoshi: Kawaii.
*Aikirei blushes.*
Aikirei: So-
*Tora runs up.*
Tora: Aikirei-ko! What are you doing?!
Aikirei: Socializing with the new guy! Is there some law against that I don't know about?!
Tora: Well, c'mon! I promised to take you to dinner tonight, remember?
Aikirei: Yeah, yeah, uh, *turns to Satoshi* Do you have any plans for dinner?
Satoshi Not presently...
Aikirei: Wanna join us?
Satoshi: Sure!
Aikirei: *to Tora* He's coming with us!
Tora: No way! I thought this was a date! One on one!
Aikirei: No! Nami-chan's coming too!
Tora: Who says?
Aikirei: I do! *coyly* And you know I have authority over you!
Tora: *blushes* Eh... *rolls eyes* Okay.
Satoshi: I see you and your boyfriend get along real well.
Aikirei: Uh huh...
Scene: That night at dinner. Satoshi, Tora, Aikirei, and Tsunami are sharing a booth. For those of you that want a visual: on the left is Satoshi and Aikirei, and on the right, Tora and Tsunami. They are thinking of what to order while waiting for a bus-boy to clean up the water-glass Satoshi broke upon entering the restaurant.
Aikirei: *to Tsunami and Tora* I hope inviting Satoshi-kun here to dinner with us wasn't an imposition. I just wanted to make the new guy feel welcome.
Tsunami: No, it's no trouble at all!
(Ash): This is Brooke Storm (Tengokuno Tsunami). She's kinda stuck-up and has an attitude, but she's coo! Plus, I suppose being stuck-up comes with her title: she's the heir to the Japanese Imperial Throne. Uh huh. Future Empress, that's her. She and Aikirei are best friends, it's said that they know each other because Aikirei is Tsunami's "Lady-in-waiting," whatever that means.
Aikirei: Oh, Satoshi-kun, feel free to order anything you want. My and Nami-chan's accounts will cover it.
Satoshi: Great! I'll have the most expensive item on the menu!
Tsunami: *sweat-drop* I think what she meant was that you don't have to worry about how much it costs. Get whatever you'd like! Besides, the Peking Duck takes two hours to cook and you would have had to have ordered it in advance.
Tora: I've never been to this place before. What do you girls suggest?
Tsunami: How about the Sichuan Vegetables with enoki mushrooms and peapods?
Aikirei: I suggest the steamed lobster with ginger and scallion?
Tora: Wow! They both sound delicious!
Tsunami & Aikirei: Well, that's what were having!
Satoshi: Fine, then I'll choose the seafood war bar! What will you be having?
Tora: I'll pass on your suggestion, Satoshi-kun, no offense, but I can't decide which one to get!
Satoshi: Just order both, whatever you don't eat you can take home and eat for lunch tomorrow.
*Waiter arrives with a pot of o-cha*
Waiter: Konbon wa, welcome to the Village Wok! Are you ready to order?
Satoshi: I'll have the seafood war bar.
Aikirei: Steamed lobster with ginger and scallion, please.
Tsunami: I'll have the Sichuan vegetables, please.
Tora: Can I try both the lobster and the vegetables?
Waiter: Why don't you wait until we get your friends' orders out here, then try theirs?
Tora: You guys look a little busy at the moment, maybe that's a good idea...
*Later, the waiter returns with the war bar and vegetables.*
Waiter: Here you go, and the lobster will be just fifteen minutes more.
Tora: Wait a sec, I gotta try the vegetables.
*Tora takes a vegetable with his chopsticks, bites it, then sets Satoshi's hair on fire with his breath.*
Tora: Yeahhh! Are you trying to kill me Nami-chan?! That's spicier than heck!
Tsunami: *munching on her food* Seems just fine to me...
Tora: I'll take the lobster please, and about a dozen more glasses of water...
Satoshi: *pours a glass of water on his head* Me too please...
Waiter: Considering the spices in those vegetables, young man, I would suggest you drink either milk or tea.
*As the Waiter leaves, Hakaru shows up.*
Hakaru: *puts his arms around Aikirei's shoulders, slyly* Hey, Ai-ko, coincidence seeing you here.
Aikirei: *smirks* Hey Hakaru-kisama, coincidence I saw your face in my science book today.
(Ash): Aikirei is currently studying Monerans in science! By the way, this would be Bryan Stevens (Muhonnin Hakaru). Supposedly, he and Aikirei are like, betrothed or something. She hates it (that which is obvious by the fact that she called him kisama) It's a long, complicated story due to that Kojiro wouldn't marry that Jezzibel (Japanese name unknown).
Hakaru: *slyly* Now is that any way to speak to your future husband?
Satoshi: Future husband? But I thought-
*Satoshi points his finger at Tora as Aikirei slaps it down and slaps her hand over Satoshi's mouth.*
Aikirei: *to Satoshi, whisper* Just play along with me, okay?
Satoshi: *muffled, scared* Okay...
*Aikirei releases Satoshi.*
Aikirei: Hakaru-kisama, for the last time, I am not engaged to you, besides, I'm on a date here, can't you tell?
Hakaru: Not really, there's four of you.
Aikirei: Duh! It's double-date!
*Satoshi starts blushing slightly, Tsunami and Tora stare at each other awkwardly.*
Satoshi: (in thought: I have a feeling I got myself into the middle of something...)
Hakaru: *looks at Satoshi* Hey, you're that new kid aren't you?
Satoshi: Ye-ah...
Hakaru: So, he's your date?
Aikirei: (in thought: I'll probably never get through the night peacefully, but...) *to Hakaru* Yes.
*Satoshi suddenly falls forward spilling the o-cha everywhere.*
Hakaru: Not exactly graceful, is he?
Aikirei: *popped nerves* Hakaru-kisama! Leave!
Scene: The next day, in the chemistry lab. Students are doing experiments when Aikirei enters.
Aikirei: *bows* Excuse me, sensei, but I just received the experimental Poke Ball you had requested from Oakido-sensei.
*Aikirei hands the chemistry professor what appears to be a broken Poke Ball.*
Sensei: Oh, Thank you, Hoshikari-san.
*An explosion occurs from one of the desks, the entire class is now watching a desk that is personless and emitting smoke.*
Satoshi: *from under the smoking desk* It's okay! I'm all right!
Aikirei: *sweat-drop* Satoshi-kun?
Scene: Aikirei and Tsunami's house. They are in their pajamas and getting ready for bed. (Ash): "House" is an under-statement, these two live in a mansion. And pajamas? More like lingerie (fancy nightgowns, sp?)*drools*.
Tsunami: *jumps onto her bed* I've noticed, you've got quite a fancy for that new kid! You better not let Tora-kun find out, who knows what he'll do if he finds out!
Aikirei: *brushing hair* I think he already knows, but, speaking of Satoshi-kun, *shakes brush pointing it at Tsunami* have you noticed how klutzy he is? I mean, I've known him, like, two days, and I've seen him cause, five accidents!
Tsunami: Hmm? What kind of accidents?
Aikirei: *counting off with her fingers, hitting her fingers with her brush as she counts* Well, I met him because he ran into me just before my first class yesterday, also yesterday, just before dinner, I tried to get his attention, he tripped over a rock. Then, you saw his water and o-cha incidents. Now, today, remember the explosion in the chem. lab today?
Tsunami: Yeah...
Aikirei: He caused it, I came in to give something to the sensei and boom! he had fallen off his rocker and his desk was blowing smoke everywhere!
Tsunami: *teasingly* Sounds like he has a crush on you!
*Aikirei blushes.*
Scene: Tora's Apartment. He and Satoshi enter.
Tora: Now, I know we're old friends, and I'm allowing you to bunk here, but you're paying for half the rent and you stay away from my girlfriend!
Satoshi: Hey! Don't jump down my throat, anyway, she's been approaching me.
Tora: She has?
Satoshi: Yeah, and I actually have been somewhat trying to avoid her. I always seem to cause an accident around her.
Tora: Somewhat?!
Satoshi: Okay, so I think she's kawaii, but that's just a natural reaction for a guy that meets the Daughter of Venus.
Tora: Yeah, and she's my Venus so you get yo' loser butt off my bed and on your own.
Satoshi: *sits on Tora's bed and starts jiggling it* So, Aikirei-san's not comin' in.
*The phone rings, Tora answers it.*
Sound Effect: Bring…! Bring…!
Tora: Moshi-moshi? Aikirei-ko? How did you get my number?
*The bed collapses under Satoshi.*
Tora: Anou... It's for you, and that's your bed from now on. Just think of it as a futon...
Satoshi: *in a seductive voice* Hello? *gets scared, voice goes to normal* Oh! Sorry mom! *to a snickering Tora* Zurui! *to the phone* Gomen ne sai, yes, I'm doing okay in my new apartment. Hey remember my old pen-pal? His name was Tora-kun, well, he's my new roommate.
Tora: *under breath* Not if you keep breaking stuff...
Satoshi: *to Tora* shuttup. *to phone* Oh, no, not you mom! Yes, I have enough money... and yes, I have those too... Quit asking me about that! I'm a grown man, I can take care of myself! Love you too, mom, bai!
(Ash): --;;;;;; Twenty years old and she still asks me about my "You know whats"... anou...
(Sound Effect: Click! Beep... beep... beep...)
*As Satoshi hangs up the phone Tora burst into full blown hysterics.*
Tora: Ha! You, you thought it was Aikirei-ko then... a-and then, you broke the bed, and now you have to fix it! This is hilarious!
Satoshi: *stern* Yeah, side splitting... You know, you should fix the bed, `cause, you knew that something like this was gonna happen.
Scene: Girls bathroom. Aikirei is doing the usual girl routine (fix make-up, etc.) when Yume-san enters.
Yume: I thought you'd be in here, isn't that new guy in your next class?
(Ash): Don't ask me who this is, the only info I can get on her is that she loves to nose around in other peoples affairs and her name as Yume-san.
Aikirei: *annoyed* Hi Yume-san...
Yume: So...answer my question.
Aikirei: If you must know, yes.
Yume: Continuing your little quest?
Aikirei: *glares* Gr! I gotta go to class.
Yume: Grrrr...! *yells as Aikirei leaves the bathroom* One of these days I'm gonna find out who you really are!
Scene: Tsunami and Aikirei's house, they're throwing a party (it's college! It's all about the parties ^_~!) Tsunami is trying to keep the sanity level down while Aikirei stares out the front window.
Tsunami: Hey! What's goin' Aiki-chan? You're usually the life of the party!
Aikirei: Oh, hi Nami-chan... What do you suppose is keeping Tora-kun and Satoshi-kun? They're awfully late...
Tsunami: *sweat-drop* (in thought: I wanna boyfriend! I'm a princess darnit! I should have boys crawling all over me! Instead they're crawling all over my lady-in-waiting...)
*Tora and Satoshi walk through the door. Satoshi is limping and moving very slowly. Aikirei instantly jumps up to help Satoshi, whom nearly slips on a soda pop can at the sight of her.*
Tsunami: Are you okay?!
Satoshi: *plopping himself onto a couch* Yeah, I just twisted my ankle...
Tora: *sweat-drop* I told him that the party was here, when I mentioned Aikirei-ko, he tripped on an automatic sprinkler...
Tsunami: Ouch! Guess he won't be dancing tonight...
Aikirei: *sits down next to Satoshi and takes his arm* I'll keep you company.
*Satoshi blushes.*
Tora: *red-faced* Not fair! Why does he get all her attention?!
Tsunami: *playfully placing a finger playfully on Tora's nose* You know what they say, Tora-kun: The squeaky wheel gets the grease!
Tora: What's that supposed to mean??
Yume: *to herself* Hmmm... It seem that this Satoshi-kun is accident prone at the mere mention of her name, this may be more than just a crush...
Tora: *mopping over a manga behind Yume-san* Yeah, but it only makes her more attracted to him...
Yume: Leave me alone!
Tora: Fine...
Aikirei: Do you want some pretzels? Ooh! The Pocky has been found!
Satoshi: *for once not thinking about his stomach* Sure...
Tsunami: Pizza's here!
*Several of the guests start grabbing for the pizza.*
Tomahome: *pops in* All right! Pizza!
*Tomahome grabs a box and starts to leave when a hand grabs him by the ear.*
(Ash): He, is Tsunami's older brother, Timothy Storm (Tengokuno Tomahome, Ogre of heaven? Please don't ask... --;). Although he's older, she became the heir due to some sort of mix up or something. Tomahome also literally "pops" in. He has some sort of teleportation power, but for some reason, Tsunami can temporarily disable it by pulling his ear.
Tsunami: *popped nerves, but remaining calm* What are you doing here Toma-kun?
Tomahome: I heard you had pizza, Nami-kun!
Tsunami: *looses temper* Stop calling me that! And return that pizza! You can't have a whole box!
Tomahome: Snort! Fine!
*Tomahome sets the box on the table and takes three slices.*
Tsunami: Hey! You're only supposed to take two slices!
Tomahome: *ruffles Tsunami’s hair* As your brother, I am an exception to that rule!
*Tomahome bites into the pizza.*
Satoshi: Hey! I want some too! *tries to get up, falls back on the couch* But I can't get up.
Aikirei: I'll get you some pizza, Satoshi-kun.
Tora: Not if I get to it first!
*Tora jumps up and cuts in front of Aikirei.*
Aikirei: Hey! That's my spot!
Tora: Go sit down, I'll get your pizza.
Aikirei: Are you sure you can get pizza for you, Satoshi-kun, and I?
Tora: *smirks* Sure, I'd love to...
*Aikirei returns to sit next to Satoshi. Tora quickly grabs two plates and squeezes himself between Aikirei and Satoshi.*
Satoshi: Mmph! You're squishing me!
Aikirei: Yeah! Get off before I suffocate!
Tora: *stands up* Sorry, here's your pizza Aikirei-ko. Opps! I forgot some for Satoshi-kun. *winks* Sorry!
Satoshi: You did that on purpose!
Tora: *smirking* Whining isn't going to get you anywhere!
Aikirei: Stop being mean to him! He's had a rough day! Here *hands Satoshi her plate* have mine.
Satoshi: I could never do that!
Tomahome: *pops in behind the couch* If no one else wants it, I'll take it!
*Aikirei, Satoshi, and Tora turn and stare at Tomahome, sweat-dropping.*
Aikirei: Anyway... *to Satoshi* Take it, I don't really like pizza anyway. Well, I do, but with all this sushi just sitting here, I just can’t let it go to waste!
*Aikirei gets up and starts selecting her sushi.*
Tora: *to Satoshi* Don't get your hopes too high, you'll live to regret it.
Satoshi: What?
Tora: If you keep playing around with her, you're going get yourself hurt.
Satoshi: I still don't get what you're saying.
Tora: Have I told you that Aikirei-ko has a reputation for *makes quotation marks with his fingers* "dating around"?
Satoshi: Oh, she wouldn't do that to me.
Tora: You're right, she wouldn't date you at all. Well, Smell ya later! Oh, and Satoshi-kun, stay away from my girl.
Scene: Later that evening, everyone is dancing, that is except Aikirei and Satoshi (Aikirei is practically falling asleep in Satoshi's arms). Tsunami goes up to the DJ stand and grabs the mic.
Tsunami: Okay! Now for the traditional slow dance of the night!
Tora: That's no tradition!
Tsunami: Well, someone has to start it and I have the perfect song, Love Song ga kikoeru!
Satoshi: Hey! That's not fair! I can't dance!
Aikirei: I'll hold you up.
Satoshi: Are you sure?
Aikirei: I'll try...
*The song starts*
Satoshi: *grins* Why don't we go outside to the porch? It's kinda warm in here.
Aikirei: okay.
Tora: Aikirei-ko! Where are you going?
Aikirei: To dance with Satoshi-kun on the patio.
Tora: *to himself, but still audible* What am I supposed to do now?
Scene: Aikirei and Satoshi out on the patio, Love Song ga kikoaru is still playing in the background. He's sitting on a chair with his foot on a table while she looks over the railing, letting the wind blow her hair.
Satoshi: Sorry I couldn't dance, *under breath* two left feet *to Aikirei* Will you forgive me?
Aikirei: *not really paying attention* Mmmmm... I just love the night sky, the stars are so beautiful...
Satoshi: I heard you talk a lot about stars, are you like, studying to become an astrologer?
Aikirei: *giggles* No, but I guess you could say I live among the stars, and my major is technically in science...
*The wind blows in Aikirei's hair, Satoshi blushes.*
Satoshi: (in thought: This girl! I feel as if, we were in love, once, but then... Gahh! Who am I kidding? When would I have had time to be in love with her? But still...)
Aikirei: Do you wanna go in the garden?
Satoshi: *blushes* Anou...foot...
Aikirei: Nami-chan and I have some crutches...
Satoshi: *stands up* I think I'll be fine.
Aikirei: *backs up, blushing majorly* Satoshi-kun! Your foot!
Satoshi: I'm all right. *takes Aikirei in his arms* I only faked the injury to be with you.
*Aikirei, freaked out, pushes away.*
Satoshi: You see, Aiki-ko, *blushes, takes her back into his arms* somehow, I loved you from the moment I saw you. I, just never, had, the courage to tell you...
Aikirei: *completely red* (in thought: Could he really be, my prince? *closes eyes* I do feel a warm yet dangerous aura coming from him. Very welcoming, I feel safe but yet in danger, too, when I'm with him. Hmmm?
*Aikirei looks up as Satoshi kisses her gently. Tora stands just outside the porch, watching them begin to dance slowly, and loathing Satoshi more and more.
Scene: Satoshi's room (the one he shares at the university with Tora). He's laying on his bed when Pikachuu approaches him (we will directly translate Pikachuu's lines, just pretend it's saying "pikapika").
Pikachuu: Satoshi-sama?
Satoshi: *fingering a flower* Hmm? Oh, hi Pikachuu...
Pikachuu: What's da matter with you?
*Satoshi merely stares off into space.*
Pikachuu: Oh no! I know that look! That's the same look you had on your face the day you told Kasumi you loved her. Satoshi-sama! You made a promise to yourself!
Satoshi: Well, I hadn't met her when I made that promise. *glares* And what did I say about mentioning Kasumi-chan?
Pikachuu: Satoshi-sama, as I may recall right, your exact words when we left Mt. Silver were, "Look! It's been six years! No man in his right mind should hold a grudge against a woman for that long! No matter how much of a bitch she is..."
Satoshi: *picks up the flower* You're a Pokemon, you wouldn't understand...
Pikachuu: Hey, I'm still an animal and I've got instincts! And mine are telling me that you want to mate with this "her"
*Satoshi glares at Pikachuu.*
Scene: Satoshi in Pallet Town, it's approximately dinner-time. He goes up to his front door and enters.
Satoshi: Hello? Mom?
Toraeru: Oh, hi honey! Are you on holiday already?
*Pikachuu jumps off Satoshi's shoulder and jumps into Toraeru-okusan's arms.*
Satoshi: Yeah...*sniffs the air* What are you cooking?
Toraeru: I'm having a few guests over for dinner, I guess I should go set another place at the table!
*Toraeru-okusan returns to the kitchen when the doorbell rings.*
(Sound Effect: Ding Dong! Ding Dong!)
Toraeru: Can you get the door, honey? That should be Kenji-san, Oakido-sensei, and his new student.
Satoshi: Okay!
*Satoshi opens the door.*
Aikirei: *blushes* Satoshi-kun?!
Satoshi: Aiki-ko?! *sees Kenji dressed like a punk* Kenji-kun?! *looks confusingly at Oakido-sensei* Sensei?
Kenji: Don't judge me by the way I look, I'm still the same Kenji! *looks at Satoshi and Aikirei's expressions and smirks* so, you're the new guy Aikirei-san's been going on and on about!
Satoshi: *practically falls on the bottom step of the staircase* What's that supposed to mean?!
*Kenji smirks again as Satoshi and Aikirei blush and Oakido-sensei sweat-drops.*
Toraeru: Will you please close door, come in!
*Mimie comes up, sweeps everybody in and shuts the door.*
Mimie: Mime, mime! Mime, mime!
*Aikirei kneels in front of Mimie and gives it some sort of treat that it gobbles down greedily.*
Satoshi: Kenji-kun? Why the heck are you dressed like a punk?!
Kenji: I'm trying to express my inner feelings by breaking through the barrier mold that society has cast upon us.
Satoshi: *sweat-drops* Still sketching, I see, good for you!
(Sound Effect: Ding dong! Ding dong!)
Satoshi: Now who could that be?
*Satoshi opens the door, yet again.*
Takeshi: Whoa! Just like old times!
*Kasumi enters, she and Satoshi see each other, and the two of them tense up.*
Satoshi: Just like...
Kasumi: Old times...
Takeshi: So where have you been hiding all these years?
Satoshi: I was better off there...
Kasumi: Better off where?
Satoshi: *starts to pick up his knapsack* Like I'm gonna tell you! I'm going back...
*Aikirei grabs for Satoshi's hand, Kasumi's eyes water, Kenji backs up, Oakido-sensei sits down, Mimie closes the door, Toraeru-okusan stands in the doorway to the kitchen.*
Takeshi: *grabs Satoshi's shoulder* Satoshi-kun, Kasumi-chan has been heart-broken about what she did to you since you left, can't you just forgive her?
Satoshi: Never!
*Satoshi pulls his knapsack higher, Aikirei grabs his arm tighter, eyes tearing up.*
Aikirei: Satoshi-kun... please? Don't leave.
Satoshi: *looks into Aikirei's eyes for a few seconds, then sighs and sets his knapsack down* Okay...
*Satoshi embraces Aikirei as everyone else watches them in surprise, except Kenji, whom is leaning against the door, smirking.*
Tora: *flings the door open, knocking Kenji down* Get your hands off her!
Kenji: Hey! What's the big idea?!
Takeshi: Who the heck are you?
Aikirei: Tora-kun! Why do you always interfere when I'm trying to spend time with Satoshi-kun!?
Tora: *suddenly embarrassed* I didn't think there would be so many people...
Tsunami: *walks in the door and starts dragging Tora out* Forget it! She doesn't love ya anymore. You're yesterday's news and you just have to deal with it!
Kasumi: Who are these guys?
Satoshi: Kasumi-chan, Kenji-kun, and Takeshi-kun, meet Tora-kun, Tsunami-sama and Aikirei-san. Tora-kun, Tsunami-sama and Aikirei-san, meet Kasumi-chan, Kenji-kun, and Takeshi-kun. Kasumi-chan, I met her on the first day of my Pokemon Journey by, anou, borrowing her bike and-
Kasumi: You mean destroying it! Speaking of which, when are you going to pay me back for that bike?!
Satoshi: *glares* I think dating you for a year more than paid for that stupid bike of yours... *under breath* the chick flick marathon more than paid for that bike *turns to the others* Anyway, Takeshi-kun you may know him as the Pewter City Gym Leader and I became friends with him when I battled him.
Takeshi: Moshi moshi!
Satoshi: Kenji-kun here I met soon after we arrived in the Orange Islands, approximately a year after I met the other two. Don't ask why he's dressed like a biker.
Kenji: I told you, I'm trying to express-
Satoshi: Yeah, whatever. Tora-kun I actually met when I was really young, and we became pen pals, but he disappeared when I was eight.
*Tora appears to be uncomfortable with the subject.*
Satoshi: Aikirei-san I met on my first day of college, we've become very close actually, *smiles at Aikirei as she begins to blush and Tora and Kasumi begin to get jealous* and Tsunami-sama I met at dinner at my first day at college, she and Aikirei-san are very close friends.
Tsunami: *does a "V is for Victory" sign over her eye and winks* Moshi moshi!
Kasumi: *looks over Tora* Well, you come this far out of your way, *grabs Tora's arm, he blushes* Why don't you stay here for dinner?
Tora: W-what is that supposed to mean?!
Kasumi: C'mon! There's an empty seat next to me!
Tora: *scared* Ehhh...anou…
Scene: Just outside Satoshi's house. Team Rocket is watching the group inside from a tree.
Nyaasu: *looking through binoculars* Wow! They're having quite a dinner in there! I wonder if they'll let some old friends in for a bite?
(Ash): As you might have guessed, this is where Team Rocket steps into the scene. They don't really play a real significant villainous role, their mainly just relatives to Aikirei.
Kojiro: Nyaasu-chan, don't talk about food!
Musashi: Who's in there anyway?
*Nyaasu merely stares at the food.*
Musashi: Well, who do you recognize?
Nyaasu: Well, let's see, there's; that old sensei, the Twerp’s mom, that older twerp, Kojiro-kun's sister, her most recent love of her life, and the future emperoress. I don't recognize the last three, one of them I can't even tell what gender they are, but the other two; one reminds me of that twerpy redhead and she's making goo-goo eyes at Aikirei-chan's love, and the other reminds me of the Twerp, whom has just placed his hand affectionately on your sister's Kojiro-kun!
Kojiro: *grabs the binoculars from Nyaasu* Let’s see... Eeee! It is the Twerp! And Pikachuu's with him! What is he doing with her?
Musashi: He probably doesn't know that she's your sister, Kojiro-kun...
Kojiro: He would have to know!
Nyaasu: In all seriousness, he wouldn't know. You and Aikirei-chan have nothing in common, she's adopted and looks like Sailor Moon, you’re gay, and she wouldn't admit to being related to you especially if she doesn't know that he knows us.
Kojiro: Is she embarrassed of her family that much? And what do you mean im gay?! I married a woman *points at Musashi* didn’t I?!
Nyaasu: *ignores the first question* Yes, but the two of you are so gay you’re attracted to each other.
*Muasahi and Kojiro stare at each other and Nyaasu blankly.*
Musashi: Hey! I just got a great idea to get Pikachuu, and a bite to eat!
*Musashi whispers something to Kojiro and Nyaasu as the people inside leave the table.*
Nyaasu: But we've tried that already!
Musashi: *chucks Nyaasu down the tree* Shuttup! I'm not finished yet!
*from the front yard...*
Aikirei: Nani?
Satoshi: I thought I heard something from the back...
*Musashi and Kojiro are still discussing plans, they didn't hear Aikirei and Satoshi.*
Nyaasu: @_@ Groan...
Satoshi: * looking around the corner* Oh, it's just a Nyaasu...
Nyaasu: *jumps up* What's the big idea?!
Musashi & Kojiro: Shuttup, Nyaasu-chan!
Satoshi: *walks around the corner, facing Nyasu* Hey! That Nyaasu just spoke! What are you three doing here?!
Nyaasu: *sweat-drops* Anou...
Musashi & Kojiro: *turn around and look down the tree* Huh?
Aikirei: What? Talking Nyaasu, three? *stands next to Satoshi with her hands on her hips* Kojiro-kun! What are you and your cat and your onna-kisama doing here?!
Kojiro: *he and Musashi jump down from the tree, he points his finger at Aikirei* I think I'm the one who should be asking the questions! What in heck are you doing with this Twerp?!
Aikirei: *eyes shrink, gives Satoshi a sideways glance* You're "Twerp"?
Satoshi: *scratches the back of his head* Guilty...
*Everybody else has now come outside.*
Aikirei: *blushes* Hmph! I think I have the right to choose my own friends!
Satoshi: *turns to Tora, snobbishly* See? I'm a friend!
Tora: Shove it, lover-boy!
Kojiro: Aikirei-chan! You can't be serious! This Twerp can't be your friend!
Aikirei: *mockingly smirking* Oh? He can't? Well, then, can he be my boyfriend maybe?
*Aikirei continues to smirk as Satoshi turns red and trips over a stone in his mother's garden, Tora goes into shock, Kojiro turns pale and everyone else gasps.*
Tora: He's not your boyfriend! I am!
Musashi: Then why are you puttin' it sweet on that twerpy redhead?
Tora: *blushes* I'm not puttin' it sweet, she is!
Kasumi: I am not!
Kenji: *whispers to Takeshi* Should we play peace-maker or see where this is going?
*The other five are arguing, surrounding Satoshi whom is attempting to get to his feet and plug his ears at the same time.*
Takeshi: *watching them* I think we already know where this is going... *to the ones arguing* Guys! You're grown-ups! At least try to act civilized!
Satoshi: *finally on his feet* Thank you...
Musashi: Anyway, we really didn't come looking for you guys, we were just looking for food.
Satoshi: Likely story...
Toraeru: Satoshi-chan!
Satoshi: *pissed* Mom! Stop calling me that! I’m not a kid anymore!
Kojiro: But this time we're telling the truth!
Toraeru: Oh! You poor things!
Satoshi: Mom! They're Team Rocket!
Toraeru: Oh? Well, then where's their motto?
Musashi: W-we gave it up a while ago!
Kojiro: *whispers* No we didn't!
Musashi: *whispers back* Shuttup!
Satoshi: Anou... Okay, you guys can have some food, as long as you keep yourselves and/or any of your inventions a fifteen foot radius away from Pikachuu.
Musashi, Kojiro & Nyaasu: *they bow* Yes, sir!
Scene: Everyone is back inside. TR is munching down on food, the doorbell rings.
(Sound Effect: Ding dong! Ding dong!)
Toraeru: Now who could that be?
*Toraeru-okusan answers the door and a girl about Kasumi's age with extremely long, black hair is standing there.*
Satomi: Hello? Is this the Toraeru residence?
Toraeru: Yes, but we're not buying anything!
Satomi: *giggles* I'm not selling anything, don't you recognize me?
*Toraeru-okusan shakes her head.*
Satomi: It's me, Satomi, your daughter.
Toraeru: Satomi-chan?
Satoshi: Whoa, whoa! Backup! I have a sister?!
Satomi: Yes, I am your sister.
Satoshi: I do not!
*Satomi's eye's glow.*
Satoshi: Oh, why, when did you leave?
Satomi: When you were six, I blamed you for our father's disappearance.
Satoshi: Why?
Satomi: The rest will be revealed to you in due time.
