Eloise and the Voice of the Forest

chapter 2

Once the party was over, they were all ready.

"Congratulations on your new babies." Mo smiled to Ace and Lexi.

"Thank you." Ace and Lexi smiled.

"Good luck, twins can be a handful sometimes, but they become natural best friends." Atticus advised.

"Though our children know twins that usually get into fights with each other." Mo then added in, referring to Phil and Lil DeVille.

"Yeah." Akito nodded.

'I'm sure we can manage, Docs." Ace smiled.

"So how many of us are going?" Duck asked.

"Well, I guess I better go to keep an eye on Eloise for you guys." Tech said to Darla and Urchin.

"Oh, are you sure?" Darla asked. "We could do it, we're her parents after all."

"No, no, I insist." Tech said.

"Well..." Urchin rubbed his arm.

"You two should catch up anyway..." Tech insisted. "You haven't done much together in six years since your daughter's been born."

"He's right, right, right." Eloise agreed.

Darla and Urchin giggled as Eloise had picked up saying things three times like Nanny would.

"Alright, you have fun with your cousins now." Darla hugged Eloise nice and tight.

Atticus, Mo, Cherry, and Forte decided to not come along either. The Pokemon adventures were mostly for their children due to their connection with Ash, Emi, Misty, Brock, and others. Tech decided to go for adult supervision and the other Loonatics decided to come along too since it had been a while since they last had an adventure with the kids. Ixta even came along, Captain Planet and Zadavia cautioned her to be careful and were surrogate parents for her since she had been raised by Queen Grannicus.

"I will." Ixta smiled.

Captain Planet and Zadavia hugged Ixta and let her go off with the others.

"She's such a good girl..." Zadavia smiled fondly to the teenage ex-princess.

"She sure is." Captain Planet smiled in agreement.

The two then smiled to each other as they held each other. The adults then went to do their own thing while Celestia went back home until the adventure would be over and she would bring the kids back home.

The kids were telling the Loonatics all about Pokemon and their friend Ash Ketchum who was determined to be the very best Pokemon trainer with Pikachu.

"Sounds like he's determined to make his dream come true." Lexi said.

"No one is more determined than Ash." Akito agreed.

"Don't forget his sister Emi, Misty, and Brock." Estelle then added in.

"How could I forget about Emi?" Akito smiled.

"It would be hard for him to forget." Estelle smirked.

Akito blushed to that since this was Emi they were talking about.

"Ya sure yer gonna be okay with travelin', Lex?" Ace asked his wife.

"Ah, Ace, don't worry, I'll be fine." Lexi promised.

"Alright then." Ace said.

Eventually, the kids smiled as they ran into their traveling friends. Everyone greeted each other and embraced each other once they were reunited.
