Crystal's Chronicles, a Pokémon: Aura Warriors Story

Riolu Knows, But Who'll Listen?

After the burial, Crystal was in her room with her Riolu, sitting Indian style. The pair wonder why would someone kill her parents. She just couldn't believe some prick (or pricks) did this. She turned to her blue partner. "Riolu? Are my parents bad guys?"

Riolu returned the gesture, but he talked to her with telepathy. "I don't know. I just don't know. But where's Violet? Did the villains kidnap her, too?"

"I don't know."

"Violet coulda killed them and run away, for all I know. She was pretty irate about losing the crown to you. I mean, she is pretty cunning for age 4. If she does get caught, if she did, the townspeople won't listen. They won't believe that she did it. I just don't see it." 

Riolu got up from the crisscross-applesauce position. "Welp. I'm going to make us some tea and crumpets." It scaled the stairs with its strength. "I hope we have chocolate crumpets. Those Razz Berry ones are God-awful!"

"I guess I'll take some if they have Cheri flavour?" 

Riolu looked inside the cabinet. "Zip. Nada. Bupkus. Not even a crumb of crumpets." It got down and looked in the fridge. "At least we have sausages, cheese, and salami." Riolu took the rolls of meat out, grabbed a knife, and it started cutting them.

Crystal was looking up at the ceiling, listening to the rain as it pelts the house. "I'm still wondering who did such a thing." 

Violet showed up with her shiny Salandit (with a bow) and a box of chicken nuggets from McBurger, as wet as a swimmer coming out of the water. She closed her soaked, purple umbrella. "The rain hasn't let up," she said, trying to start a conversation. She called out to Crystal, "Short stack! Wanna play Uno?"

Crystal turned around, looking sad. "Don't wanna..." She left the scene before Violet gave her hell again.

Riolu confronted Violet. "I know you did it, Violet."

"Did what?"

"Don't play dumb with me, young lady!" he growled, extending his paw. "You killed your parents over a crown. You just couldn't handle the fact that Crystal would be more able to handle a kingdom than you."

Salandit is just looking like "What's going on?" She wasn't trying to get into it with Riolu, as he carries Earthquake on his moveset roster.

"So what? She's too nice to take control of a city. If someone was to defy her order, she'd run to her room and cry," she laughed. 

Riolu got more irate. "It's NOT funny. Your selfish, messed-up act traumatized her. if the townspeople were to believe me, you'd be put in a dungeon for WHO KNOWS how long!" 

"Ohhhh, I'm soooooo scared," she taunted. "I mean, who's gonna believe YOU? You're a Pokémon that sucks his paw in his sleep, and believes in Santa Claus. On top of that, you piss in your bed whenever you get nightmares." 

"Wow. How did we go from a confrontation to a roast? This has nothing to... You know what, you're going to the judicial office. I ask you to stand down." 

Violet and Salandit glowed an amethyst aura. The two teleported to who-knows-where, leaving Riolu bewildered and puzzled. "What the hell did I just gawk at?"
