Uprising

Chapter 6

"Nanu? Nanu? Naaaanu? Wake up, nanners!" A faint female voice seemed to whisper impatiently as the sleeping police officer only seemed to drift into a deeper sleep.

He yawned slightly. "Hey, could somebody... tell me what time it is?" he asked, still clearly asleep.

"Let's see..." another voice added, slightly louder than that of the female voice, "It's exactly 7 AM!"

"Oh thanks..." Nanu purred as he repositioned himself on his matress and grabbed a hold of his comforter. After a second, he opened a single eye and sprung up out of his bed in a panic: "WHAT?! Ohhh... Giovanni is going to be none too pleased with me when he hears that I'm running late already. And I have to go ahead and meet up with Jessie and James at the ferry terminal and they've probably already left or are wondering where in the heck I've run off to and-" he turned around briefly and noticed Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet standing in full uniform, each with a small duffel bag in their hands, presumably filled with essentials such as toiletries, Pokeballs, and extra uniforms- although it wasn't quite clear what could possibly be in Meowth's or Wobbuffet's bag due to them being Pokemon themselves and walking around naked 99% of the time. He screamed another time and fell out of his bed, hitting his head on the hardwood floor.

"Nanu!" they shrieked, rushing to his aid, asking him over and over again if he was okay or if an ambulance needed to be called.

"What in the name of ARCEUS ARE YOU THREE NUMBSUKLLS DOING IN MY BEDROOM?!" The officer spat, pulling his heavy body up into a reasonable sitting position as best as he could.

"Well, uh, we were uh, sorta in da neighborhood n' all..." Meowth whimpered, slowly shrugging his tiny cream-colored shoulders.
"And... well... You said that you were going to meet us at the ferry terminal and everything..." James added, his voice quivering with the same level of fear as Meowth's.

"But, da ferry terminal is anotha' coupla thoity miles dat-a-way, so, we dacided ta meetcha at da next best place! Yer own howse! Saprise!"

"Yeah. Surpriiiise..."

Woooobbuffet...?

Nanu scowled, "Whatever. Just... Let's get going before we get chewed out for being later than we already are." He got up off the floor, walked to his closet to pick up his own luggage, and opened the door of his bedroom. Much to his surprise, Acerola was standing there in front of it, still wearing her purple nightgown, clutching her favorite Mimikyu Pokedoll. Her eyes sparked with glints of fear, frustration, and uncertainty.

"A-Acerola, honey! Y-You're up early..." Nanu replied, flashing his niece a brief nervous smile.

"Good morning, Uncle Nanu." Acerola added, stoically, "I have a lot of questions to ask you, particularly about your whereabouts last night, however, I am afraid they are going to have to wait because I know you were busy with your trip. However, I do have a very important question to ask you before you rush off to wherever it is you need to go..."

"Wow, I didn't know an eleven-year-old could possibly use the word 'whereabouts' properly in a sentence! Nice work, Nanu! She's getting a really good education, if I do say so myself!" James marveled.

"JAMES!" Jessie and Meowth shrieked knocking the lavender-haired man upside his head, "Great! Now you just blew our cover! Thanks a lot, walking dictionary!"

WOOOOOBBUFET!

"Wait... Hold on a second... What on earth are Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet doing in your bedroom? And why are they wearing those ridiculous-looking costumes?"
