(Oh, look, a picrew of the OC, lol. Chapter warning mc is drunk along with others. Please drink responsibly and watch what alcohol you mix, lol. Also, slight mention of abuse)

-4 shots later that evening.... Milo's pov-

"Hey! Imma ready for 'nother." Casslynn's chin sits on the table watching the shot glass Dawn got her, who started drinking cocktails Casslynn's Pa made. Gordie poured himself and Casslynn another round of shots. "Okay, not gonna lie. Someone might want to start pouring our shots for us soon before we start making messes." Gordie chuckled. Piers volunteers to do so.

"Alright, cheers!" Casslynn said as she grabbed her shot, tinking it with Gordie's and the others' drinks. Knocking back the shot, flipping it over, the shot glass upside down on the table. "Man 'stuff is strong every time. But I feel good still!" She said as everyone, smiling, having a good time. Good music was playing, cool evening breeze going through the patio. I looked at Casslynn. Her smile was so bright, and though she was intoxicated, I could tell she had missed being with everyone. She was having a wonderful time.

Piers went ahead and poured them another round, and then her phone went off. *Mr. Mirco soft, is trying message you* She started bust out laughing. "Oh my Arceus... so worth it." Most of just looked at her. Dawn spoke up, having a grin on her face. "Casslynn, is that who I think it is?" Casslynn was trying to breathe nodded, holding her stomach. Sonia started chuckling and spoke. "Who is it, Casslynn?"

Casslynn wipes some tears from laughing too hard. "My ex, Malakai. Didn't think he messaged me at all after everything, so I switched his text tone." I watched her glance at the phone, her face faltering a bit. "Are you okay, Casslynn?" I didn't see what the message said, but I was concerned. Everyone, even all the Pokémon sensed that something wasn't right.

She started to chuckle a little bit. "Can you believe this absolute pile of rubbish?" She sat her phone down, then pointed at it. "He said 'we are nothing without each other. It feels like it's all or nothing when you're not around. Let's work things out. Please?' This guy... has used me and abused me mentally. No way, dude, I ain't ever getting back with him. I'm not gonna open that. Nope. Over this guy, 100% done-zo." She put her arms in front of herself, making a 'X'.

No one spoke really at first. I couldn't help wonder why anyone would do that to her. "Yeah! Cheers to that. He's an asswhole!" Dawn raised her glass, and so did everyone else. As I raised mine and gave Casslynn a smile, her smile came back. She took the shot that was waiting for her, placing it down like before. She looked up Raihan with a grin. "Hey, Raihan."

He looked at her. "What's up, Casslynn?" She got up out of her spot. I was a little worried about her balance, but she was managing very well. "Wanna make something viral? I kinda want to sing my heart out. Well, karaoke it out while I still have a somewhat of a sober mind." She then looked over to her Lucario, giving him a nod. Lucario then went inside her house very quickly. "Sure thing." He got his rotom phone out.

"It's been a while since our little jam session. Still have your skills?" Piers spoke up, looking at her. She nodded. "I've been practicing on and off. When I was in Unova, I met Roxie, her and I played a bit after I defeated her in a gym battle. I'm gonna play one of her favorite songs." 'Amazing, Sonia was right. She really is a creative person.' I thought to myself.

(Back to oc)

'Hopefully, this will get through his thick skull.' Lucario came back out with my teal electric guitar, one of my speakers, and a microphone with stand. I walked over to an empty table and stood on top of it facing everyone, Lucario tossing my guitar to me. I caught it with ease, put its strap over me, and plugged it in the speaker. Lucario sets the mic up for me, adjusting its height while I tune the guitar.
