This Is Not What It Looks Like (A Litten x Popplio Love Story)

Chapter 1: The First Rehab

It's like any other day, Litten keeps on scratching the window curtain with his claws like a little demon. His trainer was very angry, he pulled him away from the curtain but only resulting the whole curtain ripped off.

The trainer loved his Litten so much, but he wasn't expecting that he would repay his love with all of the mischevious he is doing. This is only stressing him out, knowing he is also busy with too many works.

"Alright you little devil, you give me no choice but to send you to rehab." The trainer said to Litten, giving him and angry glare that made him gulps while sweatdrops.

The trainer put his Litten back into his pokéball and then walks out of his house to the pokécenter to put him into a rehab for a very long time. Only making Litten nervous and angry.

They then arrived at the pokècenter and the trainer put his pokéball on Nurse Joy's desk. "What can I do for you sir?" She asked. "I want to put my Litten here for a rehab." He answers.

"Alright, how long would you like to put him in a rehab?" Nurse Joy asked him again, but that made him worried about what his Litten would feel when he leave him, then he answers. "A week." "Very well then."

Nurse Joy brought Litten's pokéball inside after his trainer leaves and put him inside a big room that has walls of strong mirrors and the floor was made of soft cork and the room has so many toys and such.

Nurse Joy release Litten from his pokéball and leaves the room, the door was also made out of strong mirrors as well. He looked around and he seems scared by how many reflections are there of him.

"What is this place?! It's very confusing!" Litten exclaimed then he runs around to find the door, but he couldn't tell since the mirrors looked the same. He was very angry, he tries to claw one of the mirror, but it wasn't scratchable and it made a really stingy sound when he did so.

Litten rolls around in annoyment giving death glares at his reflections, before realizing that he wasn't alone in the isolated room. He looked around and saw just some pokémon that are his size or smaller, like Vulpix, Alolan Vulpix, Pikachu, Joltik, Eevee, Chespin, Oshawott, Piplup, and Popplio.

"Great, I guess they are going to release my temper any soon." Litten mumbled slowly and lie down in the middle of the room, just staying put until it's over.

But just when he though he can chill, everyone in the room started minding their own bussines not in a quiet way that already made him annoyed. He look around with a really angry glare and notice that Popplio was the only one that was keep quiet, sitting against the mirror wall in a depressed look.

Litten sighs and walks towards Popplio that didn't took notice of him and just look down, he lie down besides her and fell asleep, knowing that getting near someone that was quiet can be relaxing.

Popplio looked at Litten for a bit before looking away and sighs softly. "I'm Popplio." She greeted herself quietly to him, he heard her and reply while looking away as well. "Litten."

The two can only see the others are having too many bussiness like playing, chatting, and even fighting against each other which never pull any attention from Litten and Popplio.

"This place is hell." Said Litten to Popplio while glaring at everyone from a far. "True." She said slowly like she was having too many problems in her head.

Litten was kinda concern about Popplio condition, but he was a procrastinator so he would always think. "Maybe I can feel about her later, I doubt she would tell me anyway."
