AZUNE
Chapter 6: Feiry Burritos
~~
Jubilife was a city of hustle and bustle, it was stunning in the eyes of Dawn. There were so many televisions and people, she couldn’t wait to explore! But of course, Paul wasn’t going to allow happiness for her.
“Ooh! Can we go to that shop Paul?” Dawn asked.
“No.” Paul said flatly, Dawn sighed.
“Okay, ooh! What about that poketch shop?”
“No.”
“The theaters-”
“Na-uh.”
Dawn pouted and looked at the sleeping baby in her hands. Ikari hadn’t grown much. She was a day old of course.
“Mom...ma?” Ikari opened her eyes slowly, waking to Dawn’s arms.
“Hi Ikari!” Dawn smiled and patted the young baby’s head.
“Balloon!” Ikari pointed to the sky, pointing to the pink heart balloon floating upwards.
“I’m afraid that it’s up to high for you Ikari.” Dawn said with a laugh. Ikari imitated Dawn’s pout from before.
“WANT BALLOON!!” Ikari whined, she slammed down her fists on the air angrily. Dawn sighed and cradled Ikari, trying to calm her down.
Ikari stared at the balloon, putting her hands forward, like she was reaching for the balloon. It started coming towards her, faster by the second. Mandy gasped and jumped up to get it before Paul or Dawn would notice.
“Balloon balloon!” Ikari clapped and accepted the balloon.
Kaleb, Azune, and Mandy exchanged glances.
(italics Mandy/ Azune italics bold/ Kaleb bold)
I believe that was psychic.
Man that was quick! How long has it been, five hours?
It doesn’t matter, the baby comes with us!
No, we can’t tear them away yet. Besides, what will a measly attack like psychic cause?
A lot if you doubt it.
I want a balloon!!
Mandy and Azune slapped Kaleb, he laughed and ran away from the two who were chasing him, leaving Dawn, Paul, and Ikari, alone.
“My feet hurt! When will we get to the pokemon center?” Dawn asked.
“Quiet meddlesome I’m trying to think.”
“Were lost aren’t we?!”
“Shut up and let me think!!”
Lightning was possible to be seen between Paul and Dawn, both giving each other nasty looks and such. Ikari didn’t like their looks, and started crying.
“Waah! Momma! Papa! No fight! No fight!” Ikari cried, hugging Dawn. Dawn looked down, feeling guilty, and Paul also looked hurt by their little face battle.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t doubt your map skills.” Dawn said, Paul shook his head.
“No no, it’s my fault too. A leader should be open for suggestions, I’m sorry too. Don’t cry Ikari, we were just angry.” Paul said, and surprisingly pulled them into a group hug. Dawn blushed but felt warm in Paul’s arms. She was disappointed when Paul pulled away.
They walked farther, momentarily asking for directions to the pokemon center. They headed in that direction. Dawn stopped infront of a poster that was very colorful, with fire pokemon around it and a green ribbon.
“Hey Paul, look! A pokemon contest! I’ve always wanted to go to one!” Dawn said, Ikari touched the poster excitedly.
“Contest! Contest!” Ikari cheered.
“Oh, no way. No way are we going to a wimpy pokemon contest.” Paul said trying to push them away from the poster. No luck.
“Can we go? Please?”
“Pwease?” Added Ikari, Paul shook his head.
“No way! I want to get to Floaroma by tomorrow!” He said, Dawn and Ikari exchanged glances. They nodded after silently consulting each other.
“WAAAAAAAAAAH!!! We-We never get to go to contests!! I-I’ve a-a-a-always wanted t-t-to go t-t-t-to one!!” Dawn cried, Paul looked around and noticed all the looks he got from other people. He tried to shush Dawn bit she continued to weep.
“Okay okay! We’ll go to your stupid contest if you stop crying already!” He said, Dawn brightened and the tears disappeared.
“Yay!” Dawn and Ikari cheered, Paul sighed.
This will be a long day.

The three stopped at a bark, they were out of breath.
“Oh great, now were lost.” Mandy said with a sigh.
“No need to worry! Oh man I’m starting to sound like Dawn.” Kaleb muttered.
“I’m hungry. I want a doodle cake.” Azune said, sitting on the ground.
“Doodle cake?” Mandy asked with a giggle.
“Yes, a doodle cake. By definition a cake that has strawberry and chocolate filling.” Azune said, his mouth watering. Mandy also seemed intrigued by the doodle cake.
“Do you know where to find one?” Mandy asked, clasping her hands together. She looked like she was begging. Azune patted her head like a puppy.
“No need to worry my friend, they sell doodle cakes in Valor!” Azune said happily, Kaleb and Mandy fell anime style.
“We can’t fly there!” Kaleb yelled.
“Well excuse me! I was just trying to be a ray of sunshine!” He retorted. Kaleb rolled his eyes and gazed off into the park, his eyes lit up as he saw...CHURROS!
“Look guys! Food!” Kaleb pointed to the Churros concession stand, the three started to run towards the stand, the owner ran with his cart, trying to get away from the churro-thirsty mongrels.
~~
The three arrived at the contest hall, they sat in the very front. Ikari clapped cutely and tried to see over the edge.
“Careful! You could fall and...TERRIBLE THINGS WOULD HAPPEN!” Dawn said, grabbing Ikari and putting her into her lap.
“Hika! I wanna see the tv!” Ikari moaned, Hika was Dawn’s temporary nickname.
“Her name is meddlesome. Not Hika Ikari.” Paul said softly.
“I bet you don’t even know my name!” Dawn said.
“I do. It’s meddlesome.” He said, she fumed and crossed her arms.
“Uh oh! Mommy and Daddy are fighting again!” Ikari said, her face very sad.
“Oh, I’m not your mom Ikari.” Dawn said, patting the girls head.
“But you were there when me open eyes!” She said, pounding on her knees. She pouted like Dawn did.
“True...how about I’m your...step mom! Until we find out your real one?” Dawn asked, Ikari smiled and nodded.
“Well, first things first. It won’t be you.” Paul said. Dawn scoffed.
“Same here.” They both secretly blushed in different directions. Ikari stared confusingly at her parents then to the stage as the first person performed. Dawn was happier now.
“Wow! That’s beautiful!” Dawn said, pointing excitedly to the pokemon.
“Dawn! Dawn!” Dawn turned to Azune, who was running through the stand and being shushed.
“What Azune?” Dawn said.
“I got food. Me, Mandy, and Kaleb,”
“Kaleb, Mandy, and I.”
“I don’t give a darn to grammar Paul! Anyway, we chased this guy with churros and here! Have some! Oh, and burritos! Extra cheese!” Azune dropped the food into Dawn and Ikari’s lap, then raced back out of the seats.
“Where he going Hika?” Ikari asked.
“I don’t know. He’s a strange pokemon that way.” Dawn said with a shrug. She shared some of her Churros with Paul, but he refused.
“Come on Paul! They’re good!” Dawn said, trying to shove the sugary treat into his mouth. He zipped his lips shut, forcing Dawn to go to...drastic measures.
“If you don’t eat this...I will stuff it into your mouth.” Dawn said through her gritted teeth. Paul opened one eye and stuck out his tongue at her, she smiled and shoved it into his mouth, surprising him into a blush and making him gulp it down.
“W-What did you do that for?!” He asked.
“Oh you know you loved that churro.” Dawn taunted, waving another churro into the air.
“Gimme’ the churro woman.” He said grimly.
“What was thaaat?” She asked, stressing that. She held her ear, expecting to hear something.
“Give. Me. A. Churro.”
“Say my name.”
“Meddlesome.”
“That’s not it.”
“Give me the Churro.”
“SAY MY NAME.”
Paul sighed, knowing he wouldn’t win this fight with Dawn.
“Fine. May I have a Churro,
Dawn.” He said, Dawn smiled and gave him them, he smiled too.
Ikari smiled too, finally, her parents were getting along. She could’ve sworn that she saw that both of them were pink. Ikari’s stomach mumbled, she continued to eat the burrito.
Aah.
“Oh...Ikari, you have the cutest burps!” Dawn cooed, Ikari frowned and started crying.
“Momma! My tummy hurt!!” She cried out, Dawn nodded, and then picked up Ikari, leaving the seats and going into the bathroom.
“Done yet?” Dawn asked outside the bathroom.
“Not yet.” Ikari’s small voice said through the big stall. The toilet flushed, and Ikari came out. She looked a little taller, but Dawn shrugged it off.
“Momma?”
“Yeah?”
“Is having hands on fire normal?” Ikari asked. Dawn’s eyes widened as she stared at Ikari’s fiery hands.
“Don’t tell me. She has pokemon powers.”

Ooh...trouble for Dawn
