Fire and Ice

Babysitting

Greninja honestly didn't know what was so exhausting about watching over a baby Pokemon. They could barely even do anything, so it should have been a piece of cake, right? 

Wrong. 

For the past hour, he had been running around after Noibat to no extent. Usually the job of watching over the little bat-dragon Pokemon fell to Hawlucha, but his friend was currently away with Ash and Pikachu. What they were doing Greninja had no idea, but Hawlucha had informed him that they would be back sometime in the evening, with a smirk that Greninja didn't think he had imagined at all. 

So just a few more hours, then, Greninja sighed, looking up at the sun. He then turned his gaze towards Noibat, who was munching happily on a pecha berry. "You know, if you weren't so cute I'd have strangled you long ago," he muttered. 

He would soon wish he had strangled Noibat, however, when the little bat Pokemon suddenly toddled up to him and asked, "Ba?" 

Greninja, having no idea what that meant, unfortunately chose to respond with, "No, Ash and Hawlucha aren't here." 

Big mistake. As soon as those words left his mouth, Noibat's eyes filled with tears and his lip started trembling. Before Greninja could do anything, he broke into ear-splitting wails, causing Greninja's ears to explode with pain as he was hit by a close-range Supersonic. 

And because of that, Greninja made his second big mistake of the afternoon. 

He covered his ears and shouted, at the top of his lungs, "WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP?!" 

Noibat did stop crying, so for a moment Greninja thought it had worked. 

That is, until Noibat smiled widely and said, very clearly, "Fuck!" 

Oh no.

This chapter wasn't really centered around Greninja and Hawlucha, but I wanted to add a little Noibat/Noivern into the story. I might do a part two to this later.
