Lucia and Mark: A Prank!
Mark blushed a bit from Lucia's hug. Mark didn't exactly have a bunk bed but he supposed they could be bunk buddies! It'd be fun! For once Mark didn't feel so stressed out. Sure Lucia was still a Pokemon and all but he felt like they were getting closer to figuring out that whole mess. After quite a bit of walking they'd eventually arrive at the Raikou dorms and at the door to Mark's room
Lucia bounced a bit in the air, giggling, "So, what does it look like? I mean nowhere near how my room is but I bet you have a cool bunk bed or other stuff that lower income families have!" She said eagerly, "You do have bunk beds right?"
Mark rubbed his head shyly. She was rather excited to see Mark's room! She'd been there once before but then again, her memory was wiped so maybe she didn't remember. He opened up the door to show his room. Lucia would see that it was... rather unorganized. Not because it was the Raikou dorm but because Mark was just terrible at organizing this sort of thing. There would be a few clothes on the floor. Shirts, pants. and other stuff that Mark hadn't sent down to the wash. The sheets on the bed where a bit messy since he was in a rush when waking up. Mark's bed was indeed a Bunk Bed. Rather comfortable for one he thought! He usually slept on the bottom one since it helped keep the light out of his eyes.
Mark rubbed his head a bit bashfully. "Heh... sorry for the mess. I didn't have a whole lot of time to clean up last morning..." Mark said.
Lucia chuckled and immediately flew up to bounce on the top one, "Wow! I've never had a bed bunk before! Too bad they're not water beds!" Tyro stepped on in and leaned against a wall, "
Not bad." He stated, "
A bit messy ain't it?"
Mark leaned down to pick up one of his spare shirts and start piling up a bit of his clothes. "Heh... yeah. My mom always got on my case for this sorta thing. Glad you like the beds though! I'm never on the top bunk so it should be pretty clean up there at least, aside from a couple pairs of clothes I might have thrown up there but I can take care of that." Mark said with a smile. He felt more comfortable knowing that Lucia was nearby, and with Snype on watch, nothing was going to get by them in their sleep.
Lucia sat on the bed, pushing down on it. "Well it's nice still." She said, "I've never been in such a grungy setting. That's what it's called right? Grungy? I like the flow of that word!" The Porygon wiggled more into the sheets, "I'll be safe here, I know that." She said.
Tyro nodded, "Yeah. So." He looked at Mark, "
Anything else we'll have to be aware of while here? Not sure if you have rules set up or the like."
Mark turned over to Tyro. His translator picking up most of his words at least. "Ah right... Rules. Um, not much rules that I can think of that could make me mad! Haha. Umm... no peeking in the shower I guess?" Mark joked, giving a lighthearted laugh.
Tyro chuckled, "
Alright. That'll be fine enough." The Blaziken stretched, "
How's security here? I assume you have some sort of way to keep intruders out, right?"
Mark nodded and whistled Snype on over. The Sableye jumped onto Mark's shoulder. "This little guy is our night watch. He prepared Detect and he can sense anything that happens to enter our dorm! Hasn't let me down yet!" Mark said, petting the Sableye's head.
Tyro chuckled, "
You'll have to run that by Samuel then. Roberto is out of commission and all that."
Lucia finally tumbled out of the bed on the floor, "That was so much fun!" The Porygon-z buzzed out. "Hehe... anything else you have here that's cool." She asked as she glanced up at Mark.
Mark nodded. "Sure. An extra eye around the room never hurt." Mark said. He looked up to Lucia and smiled at her. "More cool stuff? Well, I have my laptop charging back there, my closet to put all my stuff, um.. the bathroom..." Mark was trying to think up more cool things for her. It was like he was giving a tour of his room!
Lucia nodded a bit, "Cool cool! Man, this is like a change of scenery you know?" She floated around a bit, "Hm... what else to do? Know any cool places around campus?" She asked as he floated upside down.
Mark stepped forward and looked down, remembering he was still covered in goo down there. "Ah... um, well, before that, I really need to get this goop off." Mark said as he opened up his closet to search for a spare outfit. "The Raikou Dorm actually has alot of flat ground to practice around and train in! I tend to train just outside of the dorm." Mark said. Mark's closet was actually pretty huge! Several hangers, a couple drawers to place other articles of clothing. He actually had other outfits beside his usual Purple shirt attire in there as well.
She nodded as she peeked in, though Tyro grabbed her and pulled her back just a bit. "Oh, that'll be good. I'm a pokemon and all now... so I think I might need more training to figure out how to do this stuff, right?"
Mark nodded and poked his head into the closet, picking out a set of more comfortable clothes to sleep in. A white t-shirt, some black sweatpants, socks, and another pair of underwear. He chuckled a little as he noticed Lucia peeking in and being pulled back a little. She was quite a curious Porygon! "Yeah! I haven't explored alot of the other places near the dorm too much so there could be some other places we could discover too you know?" Mark said as he kept digging around.
Lucia nodded again, "Yeah that'll be cool!" She twirled in mid-air, "So... know any places Snype?" She asked the ghost, "I bet you explored a lot of places and you know all the fun stuff, right?"
Snype snickered and crossed his arms. "Keheh... well... I may know a place or two~" Snype said in a teasing tone. He did like to go out at night sometimes, usually if Mark's other Pokemon had watch duty. Meanwhile, Mark stepped outside of his closet and placed his pair of clothes down on the bed. He also picked out a white towel. Mark tugged off his shirt and was about to go further and tug the rest off until he remembered Lucia wasn't a Pokemon, but a human. He figured his Pokemon never really cared for that kind of thing since they never reacted to it, but Lucia certainly would! Stupid Mark! "O-oh! U-um... sorry, force of habit. I-I'll go change in there..." Mark said shyly as he grabbed his clothes and dashed into the bathroom, blushing.
Lucia chuckled at Mark's embarrassment and looked over at Snype, "That'll be awesome to go to!" She said happily, "I've never been at the bad side of town you know."
Tyro snorted, "And will these places end up carrying pokemon with a bad boy attitude?" He asked the Sabelye, "Such places are not good for a lady of Lucia's stature."
Snype smiled and poked Tyro on the leg. "Indeed! That's why us men we'll be around to protect her! Amirite Tyro?" Snype teased, giving him a playful nudge. "Kehe, I don't like worrying my trainer too much so I stick around the vicinity of the Raikou Dorm. There's a few places here and there. " Snype explained. Mark turned on the shower and stepped on inside, which they'd all be able to hear.
Lucia nodded, "That's cool Could we see some of those place? I mean I have to get used to the culture!"
Tyro frowned, "
Not this culture." He looked down at Snype, "
Real men don't send ladies off into a dark and dangerous place in the first place. They keep them safe and at home."
Snype chuckled again. "Heh, relax! I'm just kidding! Keh. Mark would kill me if I did that! Man you sure have become a serious guy since your last evolution!" Snype said with a big toothy grin. "Still... we gotta have some kinda fun! Maybe we can pull a prank on Mark?" Snype said
Tyro crossed his arms and huffed a bit, "
My evolution changed me. And as for pranks... as long as it isn't dangerous I suppose..." He frowned a bit, "
I mean, I haven't done pranks before."
Snype snickered mischievously. "Kehehe... naw it won't be dangerous at all! Pranks are all about having fun and laughing at someone elses misery! Kehe. I do it to Mark all the time! And we have a bit of time to plan one out. Mark's gonna be in that shower for awhile." Snype looked around the room to try getting some ideas. "Kehe... hey Lucia! Any ideas you want to pitch in?" Snype asked
Lucia titled her head, "What's a prank?" She asked
"
She's had a very sheltered childhood." Tyro explained, "
Eh... for pranks... I'm not sure to be frank. You could always just tell me something and I could follow through.
Snype snickered. Ohhh this was gonna be good! Infact, Snype was getting rather creative tonight! "One second~" Snype crawled over to Lucia and held onto her fin, pulling her away so he could whisper in her "ear". "So... here's my idea... how about we raid Mark's closet? Kehe. Make a mess in there! You can see all of those silly outfits he never wears and a bit more in there~! And I even have a catch... wanna hear?" Snype said, wondering if she was up for invading Mark's personal belongings!
Lucia nodded her head, having it turn upside, "Sure! Oh I've never played a prank before! Eh... what exactly is it again?"
Snype leaned a bit closer so Tyro wouldn't hear. "Kehe... well like I said, we're gonna go into Mark's closet and just throw some of his clothes around! Shirts, Pants, underwear, everything! Keheh. He'll be soo mad! But! I have a way we can double up on our prank!... what if we dressed up Tyro in some of Mark's stuff? He'd look so silly don'tcha think?" Snype said
Lucia let that thought sink in and she ended up chuckling, "That sounds awesome!" She said loudly, "So, how do we do it?" Tyro glanced at the two a eyebrow being raised, "
What's so awesome?" He asked.
Snype looked over to Tyro and continued to whisper to Lucia. "Kehe... we just gotta catch him by surprise while we're doing our thing. We'll do our prank as normal and let Tyro know, and then catch him by surprise during our prank!" Snype said. He turned back to Tyro and walked back over to him.
"Keheh, we decided that we're gonna go raid Mark's closet! Throw some clothes around! It'll be fun Tyro! Kehe!" Snype said, acting all innocent.
Tyro titled his head, "
And what's the catch with that? That's it? Surely you can come up with something far better."
Lucia shook her head, "Nope! That's all!"
Snype shook his head. "Kehe, nope! Comon big guy lets go on an adventure!" Snype quickly crawled over to Mark's closet that he of course left open and started opening the drawers. "Kehe, ladies first!" Snype joked to Lucia
Lucia chuckled as she began to pull out all sorts of clothes, "Interesting." She said, "So this is what a guy's closet is like..."
Tyro stayed on back, snorting a bit, "
I doubt your master will like the mess you're making."
Snype threw a some clothes along the floor, throwing a pair of underwear both at Lucia and at Tyro's face like the michivious creep he was! "Keheh! He's not supposed to! That's all part of the prank! Comon and join us!" Snype said happily.
Tyro tossed the underwear to the side, "
No thank you." He said as he grabbed the underwear Lucia held and threw it to the side as well. Lucia just shrugged and dug into more stuff.
Snype snickered as Tyro was trying to keep such unmentionables away from Lucia. Such a father figure! He whispered to Lucia. "Kehe... well we'll just have to punish him eh? Time for phase two! Heheh... lets dress the big guy up! We'll get him to look just like Mark! Or heck, use anything we can find!" Snype said
She giggled and grabbed a black sleeved shirt, "Will this work?" She whispered back as Tyro leaned against a wall, glancing around the room.
Snype nodded. "Kehe, I dunno! That's the fun of pranks! There's plenty of risk of getting caught! Just gotta go with it! We just need to get Tyro to hold his hands up and we can slide this thing on easily!" Snype said. "Hmm... but how are we gonna make him do that...?"
She snickered, "I know how." She floated on up a bit higher, then sighed, "Huh..." She wiggled a bit in mid air, "Uh... guys... I think I'm stuck." She said as she squirmed there, "I can't seem to float down... or move for that matter. I think one of my drives just froze too."
Tyro glanced up and sighed, "
Let me help ya then. We need to figure out all that drive business with you before you get back out in the world." He reached up, grunting as he struggled to reach Lucia, "
You're a bit far up there." He commented.
Snype grabbed onto a Purple T-shirt and took his opportunity to jump onto Tyro and start sliding on one of Mark's T-shirts onto the Blaziken!
Tyro was far from prepared for that and yelped as the Sableye got on him and much less prepared as the fabric clung to his chest rather tightly. He blinked and looked down at the purple color, "
So... this is your prank." He said. He facepalmed, "
Surely you could have done better. I mean, there are so MANY things you could have done. You could have staged a cascade of clothes to fall upon whoever looked into the closet, you could have unscrewed a bolt or two on a bed, asked me to sit and watch it topple over with me. For Arceus' sake you could have, at the least effort, done something where you draw on my face while I sleep. Yet all you have... is a shirt. Are you losing your touch or something cause I thought ghosts were good at pranks."
The Blaziken had no idea... Snype knew very well what he was doing! Mark had heard all of the commotion outside and peeked out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around him. "What's all the commotion out he-" He noticed that Tyro had one of his shirts on him! A prank by Snype? Heheh... well, why not play along with the little rascal! "Tyro! What are you doing wearing my shirt? Were you going through my closet to try on my stuff? You left a heck of a mess there." Mark said. Snype looked up at Lucia and winked at her. She could "explain" things after all!
Tyro just stared at Mark, "
N-No! It wasn't me!" The fire type protested. He pointed an accusatory claw at the Sableye, "
It was him! He dressed me up like this!"
"Tyro does like shirts..." Lucia mused as Tyro glared up, "
Oh... oh, siding with him now?" He asked angrily. "
I'm telling you I DON'T like shirts! I did NOT put this on! And I didn't make that mess!"
Mark chuckled a bit and stepped out a bit. "Aw comon Tyro, if you wanted to try on some stuff you could have asked!" Mark said. Snype snickered slightly and poked Tyro lightly on the leg.
"Keheh... yeah! You look pretty good in his shirt there! He was so excited to try it on right Lucia?" Snype kept teasing. Turns out the Prank wasn't toward Mark, but Tyro! What a twist! Even Mark was in on it! The Sableye had done it again!
Tyro paled... and then blushed brightly as he realized what was going on. He gritted his teeth and pulled the shirt off, balling it up into a wad and tossing it into the closet as he muttered to himself. He stomped on to the wall and placed his back against it as he muttered a bit.
Lucia turned around in mid-air, "Yeah you should put it on again Tyro!" Lucia stated eagerly.
Mark laughed a bit, glad the little prank worked out for Snype! That was something you had to get used to when living with Mark! "You three have fun! I'll be out in a bit." Mark said as he stepped back into the bathroom to change into his pair of clothes. Snype busted out laughing and rolled along the ground. He had to hold it in for awhile there! "Kehehe! Never thought I'd see you blush so hard Tyro! Hehe! How about it Lucia? Had fun?" Snype said with a big toothy grin
Tyro just turned his head away, although the comment had caused him to blush even harder!
Lucia tilted her head, "Oh... it's over?" She asked, "But I thought we were going to put more stuff on him?"
Tyro groaned, "Don't... don't explain it Snype. She'll never get it."
Snype laughed a little more at Lucia's comment. "Oh? Kehe. You want to dress him up more? Oh we could find some other outfits and get the full attire! Get the purple T-shirt, some gray jeans... maybe some more if it fits! I think we got Tyro pretty good though~ It's not too fun if you go overkill with a prank~! Heheh...
She still titled her head, not getting it at all.
Tyro stared on at Snype, "
Everyone has to sleep at some point Sableye. Just be careful the next time you wake up." He said as a smile slowly formed along his face.
Snype rubbed his head. "Huh... you... don't get what I'm saying huh? Aw well... we should probobly pick up this mess." Snype said, grabbing onto a pair of pants that was scattered onto the floor. He looked back at Tyro with a smirk. "Keheh... good luck then~ hey Lucia, watch your back, I think Tyro is plotting some revenge scheme!" Snype said
Tyro snorted, "
On you only ghost. You're going to get it, don't worry about that."
Lucia picked up some shirts, putting them back into the closet, "So how do pranks work?" She asked, "Is it to make people blush? You were talking about Tyro's blush so I assume that was it."
Snype placed a pair of pants inside of one of the drawers, searching around for some socks. They reall made a heck of a mess. "Kehe, the points of a prank is to make someone feel embarrassed or victimized! We made Tyro the victim of our little closet raid! So our prank was a success! Kehe. It could be complicated, or it could be something simple! Like pantsing somebody! You won't believe how many times I've done that to Mark back when he was a kid! Kehehe... he made a priceless face!" Snype explained
She blinked, "Oh... so you were sent to jail?" She asked as she glanced about, "Someone tried to pants a guy in court and he had to go to jail for a day and did some community service."
Snype raised a brow. "Woah, really? Well... kehe... I guess if its in court it'd make sense! But you can't put a Pokemon in jail! For all anybody knows, we don't know any better! And I'm a ghost so that makes it all the better! Mischievous fun is all part of our nature! Keheh. Been awhile since I pulled a good prank on Mark though..."
She nodded, "I see. So all ghosts are like that?"
Tyro snorted, "
It's why ghosts are closely watched in the mansion. I remember we threw three out last year. They just couldn't reign in their mischievous nature."
Snype nodded. "Keheh... I'm a bit more tame since, you know, trained and all, but it's always good to get my Mischievous side out there! Ya did a pretty good job yourself Lucia! Kehe. We should do some more pranks together!" Snype said, wrapping an arm around her like they were buddies.
Lucia snuggled against him, "Aw thanks! I'm not sure really what we did, but it was fun!"
Snype smiled and snuggled against Lucia! Mark meanwhile was all finished up in the shower and came out wearing a white t shirt and a pair of black sweat pants. "Sheesh... longest shower in my life." Mark noticed Lucia and Snype snuggling up to each other and smiled at the two.
"Getting along I see?" Mark teased.
"Hehe, he's not so bad." Lucia said, "I don't see why everyone was so scared of Sableye."
Tyro kept silent as he bowed his head, "
Sleeping arrangements?" He asked Mark. "
Someone will keep watch, it's what is needed among us."
Mark looked over to the bunk bed. "I think Snype can handle watch. He has very good sense when he concentrates enough. I'm guessing Lucia wants the top bunk bed." Mark said.
Lucia jumped onto the top bunk, "Hehe, yes!" She cried out as her small fin arms flailed about.
Tyro shrugged, "
I'll stay out still. But that's for later anyway. We still have daylight... so what now?" He glanced at Mark, "
I assume that you still have business to do, correct?"
Mark nodded. "To be honest... I've been neglecting on a few Pokemon of mine. My Gligar, Kara, could use a bit of training so it'd probably be best if I try to get her some training. Xerox could use some training also." Mark said.
Tyro nodded, "
If you want... I could help with that. Probably the rest of the team could do. We're all together in this now, right?" He gave a weak shrug, "
Would be useful for that ditto to learn how to fight as different types right?"
Mark crossed his arms. "Right! Kara should get used to doing some more fighting too. There's alot of space outside to practice this sort of stuff." He said
Lucia giggled, "That'll be cool! Can I train to-" She didn't get to finish as Tyro spoke up, "
NO." He said in a tone that indicated he wasn't taking any objections to his statement.
Mark rubbed his head. He didn't want Lucia to be totally bored but if he started training her, then she'd get more used to being a Pokemon. The point was to keep her human! If Mark trained her to be a Pokemon then nothing good would come out of it. "Anyways, lets head on out." Mark said as he slipped his shoes on. He was dress like he was going to bed sure but he hadn't planned on doing much traveling the rest of the day.
