Bitter~Sweet 2 Ula'ula Mischief

Chapter.11 Mega-Mart Maniac

p^^ H..here. It took me a while to find one, but I hope it can serve as a decent replacement. ^^p

Pancham hands over a crooked dark plank of wood that looks carved to look more like a Pikachu's tail. Mimikyu inspects the new tail.

@~Did you carve this yourself? ~@ p^^ Well sorta, I may have practiced on other sticks ,and planks first before I settled on this. I never actually got to see your tail, but I took it to heart the description you gave me. ^^p

@~ Yes, it will do for now until I find my old one. Thanks. You don't know how much this means to me.

For better or for worse, I can't afford to mess up my outfit. It must stay complete at all cost. ~@ p^^ So, I guess this is goodbye for now right? You got to go save your friends. Wouldn't want to hold you back. ^^p

@~Now what's this all about? I never said you couldn't come. What happened to all that confidence you had yesterday?~@

p^^ Well you know, I wouldn't want to cramp your style after all. Your friends would think you were pretty cool if you came to their rescue all on your own. Swooping in at the last minute just as they were facing certain peril. ^^p

@~ Oh Pancham, what happened to you? Does this have anything to do with why you don't have a leaf in your mouth? ~@

p^^ Bah?! Th..that's none of your concern! I just had a little disagreement that's all. What about you huh? Is it true what they say about the Mimikyu?^^p

@~In what regards, may I ask? Cause I'm not letting you see if it's about that. ~@  p^^ Oh, you

 thought I was going to ask to look under...No! You already told me about what happened to you while you were sewing last night, I wouldn't even risk that even if it wasn't true.

 I meant the other thing!  You know... that your kind are trying to revive the blinding one. ^^p

@~ Excuse me? What did you just say? ~@ p^^ It wasn't me who said it, it was that Staravia that's always gossiping! He never would shut up about mimikyuus whenever someone talked to him.

He acted like he was a survivor of something dark, and it sounded so convincing too. It certainly didn't help to ease the tension when you fell from the sky days later after that storm hit. Truth be told, they were probably already going to pick a fight with you, if I hadn't put some of the attention on myself. ^^p

@~Calm down! I'm not going to be mad after an explanation like that. No wonder so many pokemon have been giving me the stink eye. That might even have explained the real reason for my forced banishment if it wasn't for the real reason. ~@

p^^ Right, when you scratched him when he tried to look under your cloth. It does seem like an over exaggeration for just protecting them from seeing too much. Maybe they also heard the mad ravings of that Staravia. ^^p

@~ It's not...entirely untrue... ~@  Pancham's face turns pale... p^^ What? ^^p

Meanwhile...

(, So what's the plan? Do we rush, or do we sneak in. We don't exactly know how many enemies are inside. ,(

'" Which is why, we look through the windows to investigate, duh. Your always ready to warn,  but never to give real solutions. Might need to work on that, just saying."'

(, Let's see then.. there appears to be four gastlies, and two Haunters chasing after something. Wait  I also see Klefki, and Golbats, but they just seem to be minding their own business. ,(

'"They're probably not involved, which will save us from having to fight them. By the way, how can you see anything in there? It's almost pitch black.

I think I see some candles with 3 shadows looming around them, but even with the candle light, I can't quite make out the shape.
