Pokémon: Rough Water (Sequel to Finding Red)

Chapter 8

[Skylar's POV]

"You dragged me all the way to the other side of the region....... Just for a small pack of freaking Skittles?!" Blue complained as we got back.

"Mmhm. Here, you can have the green ones and the wrapper."

"What's the fucking difference from the Skittles sold here and the Skittles sold there?" he asked, taking the candy.

"Don't care, it's still candy!" I told him.

He rolled his eyes then taped the illustration board to the hole in the door.

"Sometimes I can't really tell whether you're acting or not."

"......... How did you know I took drama classes?"

Actually I didn't. Just kidding, maybe I did.

"Just a guess. Wanna go door shopping with me and Lack-Two on Saturday?"

"No way! You know I hate Home Department stores."

"Suit yourself. All covered up." Blue smirked. "Gramps always said that 'the early Pidgey always gets the early Weedle'. Or was it Caterpie.... Huh, never mind."

"Going to sleep already?" I asked him.

"Yep. NIGHT SKY!!!!!!!!" he yelled, running up the stairs.

"Good night Aqua!!!!" I yelled, following him upstairs. I waited for him to go inside his room, then entered Lack-Two's. As usual, his laptop was on but this time he was talking to someone on the phone. Maps, graphs, and charts were scattered all over his desk.

"Mmhm. Yes sir. Got that. Yes. Yeah, I know." Lack-Two looked over to me. "Black-2 signing off."

I layed down on his bed. "Don't mind me. I'll only be here until 12:00 AM."

"Mmm." he said, tapping his fingers on his desk, showing a sign of nervousness.

"Something wrong?" I asked.

He didn't reply.

Okay......? Looks like I'll go to sleep then. Alarm set at 11:54 AM. If I sleep in my room, there's certainly a ninety-percent chance that the moment I wake up I'll be covered in something.

And aside from the loser-cleans-everything rule, here are some other guidelines Lack-Two gave us for our prank war to be allowed:

1. Do not involve my room. Do not ENTER my room no matter what.

2. Do not attempt to remove the padlock on the fridge.

3. If I get affected even the tiniest bit of something, automatically you'll be declared the loser.

4. If the neighbors get disturbed, you'll be paying back the damages caused.

It's his house, after all.

"I'm awake! Arceus why did I even set my alarm tone into Nyan Cat?" I quickly covered my mouth after realizing that I spoke my thoughts out loud. Oops.

How embarrassing!

The 14-year-old didn't notice me, thankfully. At least he didn't comment about how childish my alarm tone is. Still, I'm very embarrassed. But, I don't even remember setting my alarm tone into Nyan Cat.

All six of his Poké balls were beside him on his desk, beside his computer.

"These are yours, right?" I said, picking up one of them.
