Ursaluna

At dawn, Irida shakily walked to where she rested at the Pearl Clan settlement. Blood stained her hair, skin, and clothes as she finally reached her home. Her Flareon and Espeon awaited her eagerly as they collapsed on the bed. Glaceon, Flareon, and Espeon stared at the blood but jumped up and got ready to cuddle.

Adaman was freezing when he woke up despite it being 70 degrees outside.

“ADDDDAAAMMMMMAAAAANNNNN!!!! ITS AREZUUUUU!!!!!”

He sighed as he stretched before walking out to say hello. “Avoiding your job?” She joked immediately. Adaman’s response was a mumble.

“Shut up.”

“Make me!”

“I’m the leader of your clan.”

“…abuse of power?”

“Rez do you- know what no…”

“It was a joke…”

Adaman smiled as James walked outside before saying, “Vol on your way out can you get me my pack of cigarettes, bottle of tequila, and my Valium?” The merchant grabbed the requested items and was thanked by James.

Before James could get the girl’s name she bolted to Kamado’s office. He figured he might as well follow her. They both didn’t realize that Volo came to the meeting too.

“Hello Jame!”

“Volo why did you call me Jame?”

“You called me Vol.”

“Jame sounds weird, maybe Jamie?”

“Vol is short for volume.”

“I know Bloodfur

“Volo doesn’t!”

“What the actual hell is wrong with you three?”

“I don’t know.”

Kamado’s Interruption shut Volo and Bloodfur up as Graffiti the grafaiai perched on James’s head happily as Arezu told the commander about Ursaluna. Now James was sent to quell him. Before he left with his friends, Arezu, and some others, Kamado gave him a little bottle of poisoned wine.

The survey corps member drank it straight away and politely whispered in his ear, “I know this is poisoned, what a waste of toxic liquid, cause it clearly doesn’t work on me since the effects happen straight after being drank. Try harder.”

“Home in the village, home in the valley, home isn’t pretty, no home for me…” whispered Volo silently before singing, “Seasons don’t fear the renegade Pokémon, nor do the wind, the sky, and the rain, we can be like them.”

“I thought it was don’t fear the reaper…” mumbled James curiously, but Volo didn’t respond but Adaman did point out the Pokémon on the man’s head. Graffiti had perched on James’s head and was making a nest in his hair.

“I also somehow function well considering the fact that I got one hour of sleep last night, and ever other night. I hear voices in Jubilife that sound like my friends, my head sometimes grows heavy along with dim sight. Jubilife could’ve been heaven or hell. I don’t know which though.” He proceeded to add.

“What do they say?”

“Welcome to the hotel….”

“In California?”

“Yeah, apparently that song is real now. This crap might be happening because I smoke and do drugs, that’s the meaning of the song.” Sighed Bloodfur sadly.

They continued walking but Arezu sped up and soon she was out of sight. A beast was stalking her, and shortly she was laying on the ground bleeding and slowly dying.

Adaman and Volo sped up only for them both to be in the same spot, James on the other hand kept walking at a somewhat brisk pace. The irony scent of blood filled the air and James caught the scent.

They followed the scent only for the beast to severely wound him, but he quickly got up and plunged a spear that he always had with him down in the thing’s back. It let out a bloodcurdling howl as it ran off in pain.

“J-James?”

“I’d keep quiet, don’t let that thing come back with your noise.”

“Ok, but can you-“

“Yes.”

The pain was gone. No wounds, no blood, no nothing. Somehow, they had been magically healed. They were told to not breath a word to anyone as they received lunch from Bloodfur.

“Well my little Rios, I hope you both liked the food.” Smiled James after finishing the sandwich that he made. The three nodded with a smile as Bloodfur added something.

“Be happy he called you “Rio”, he only calls people that he really deeply cares for.”

Volo hugged James as a thank for along with Adaman and Arezu. After the hug was over James started to sing, “I wonder if I’ll ever find someone with some jealousy like my temper so we can roll and fall in weed on some wiley windy moors.”

“I’m sorry what?”

“Let him sing Kate Bush in his own way.”

“I agree with Bloodfur.”

“Aw thank you!” Said James and Bloodfur at the same time. Volo grinned sheepishly before eating some more of his sandwich. Before they knew it, Akari, Rei, Victor, Gloria, and some others came running towards them shouting about how Gloria is actually Gloria Estefan and therefore the others should be Miami sound machine.

“I swear if y’all do a conga line I will scream.” Grumbled James before adding, “Volo could sing it and I’d be happy, I’ve heard him sing.” Volo looked at him with an embarrassed and surprised look at those words.

The wind playfully ruffled their hair as the sun began to set, some Stunky came and ate a few of the berries James had packed but the man welcomed them and any Pokémon who came to eat, even the gastly. As the sun set, a brilliant display of red, yellow, orange and pink filled the sky. The moon was rising and was pretty high in the sky and soon the sun was gone and the moon was lighting up the darkness as it shone.

“Your hair looks blue in the moonlight James, I like it.”

“Thank you Volo.”

“You’re welcome, but soon we need to eat dinner and help Calaba.”

At last, they continued their walk to the place where Calaba was at. Shortly they arrived and found out a wall fragment was stolen by some bandits who also robbed the ginkgo guild but more importantly, they’ve robbed Volo.

That information felt like energy that he needed to find them and take the fragment back, and what was taken from his friend.

The gang found a still warm piece of firewood and they heard them. The miss fortune bandits reminded James of how he used to be, but he didn’t show any sympathy until he got the stolen items. But a part of him wanted to give them something, so they were gifted a nugget to sell.

“Well damn, didn’t expect a Galaxy team member to do that.”

“I know the feel, besides I’d help someone who also hates Kamado.”

“You hate him too?”

“Yep.”

The girls smiled before running off, Volo thanked James for getting the stolen stuff back but let him have the white rose the merchant had found. A smile formed on the two’s faces as they happily walked back to Calaba.

“You went out of your way for me? How touching…and now I finally know the meaning of the message carved on the slabs.” Beamed the woman as James handed the fragment to her, she said nothing about the two roses pinned to his shirt.

“The flower goes well with your shirt.” Complimented Volo to James as the gang trekked to sludge mound. Before they could open their mouth to thank the merchant, the bog began to rise and swallow up their feet. The moon luckily lit up the two trapped men so the others could free them.

Adaman and Bloodfur walked to side where the two were trapped and pulled them out somehow cause logic isn’t in this story.

All of the sudden, they were at sludge mound, they didn’t know how they got there so damn quickly. Maybe almighty Dialga and Arceus helped speed up the process.

The battle went well and soon they realized Ursaluna wasn’t frenzied, just sick from some weird powder. The group went home to find out that Arezu secretly left the group and told Korika that Liligant was frenzied, which pissed Adaman off because she never told him.

“Maybe Ursaluna could track her down with his sense of smell?” Suggested the man who found out that liligant was frenzied. Lupin nodded in agreement as he stopped playing his harmonica.

At that, they summoned the great ride Pokémon and left to find Arezu. And when they did she was laying on the ground with a sprained ankle. “Adaman, Calaba I’m sorry for the mess I caused…James I’m sorry for dragging you out here.”

He didn’t respond and only left Calaba to treat her. At the arena they saw the frenzied noble rampaging around and shortly after arriving Arezu and Calaba arrived. The fight to quell the lady was fixing to begin.

Paldea time!!!

The gang was getting ready to binge watch old Super Bowls since the current one was recording and they wanted to watch it with James if he ever did show up. “Y’all can we watch a Jets one?” Begged Butch as Nemona sat down with popcorn.

“Pretty sure they’ve only been to the super bowl once but i don’t know.”

“Thanks for reminding me Penny…”

“No problem…”

“That was sarcasm.”

“Oh I didn’t know that Biff.”

“THE NAME IS BUTCH PEN PEN!”

“CALL ME THAT AGAIN AND YOU’RE DEAD!!

“Shut up you two…” complained Nemona loudly before handing the popcorn to Hop who was half asleep. He was woken up by Leon screaming about his preferred team and soon an argument had formed. Fights broke out and people got injured.

It was a bad fight until Giacomo solved it by playing theme for team star he had made. “Next thing you know he’ll earn a noble peace prize…” muttered Mela sarcastically.

“I wish James was here, he did like watching sports with us, his comments always made me laugh…” muttered Meowth sadly as the super bowl came on.

—-Hisui—-

James had quelled lady liligant and was heading back with Volo and them. He received a bone crushing hug from the man after the quelling.

—-Irida’s pov—-

“And if violence causes silence, we must be mistaken…i don’t want to fight the Diamond Clan. People will die.” She spoke to herself softly as she stroked her Glaceon sadly. Gaeric was hellbent on killing an innocent member of the opposite clan and if that happened peace would be gone.

She wouldn’t let another head lay lowly and a child be taken slowly at the brutal man’s feet. She will stop that man from doing anything.

—-James—-

That night was weird, he had a dream about Irida trying to save him from what looked like an Arcanine. He wished he could interpret it but his thoughts were interrupted as Volo said something about feeling funny.

He also knew he had to meet with Kamado at the beach so he got up and got that over with only for Rei to say that Irida was at the office.

Had to add the Super Bowl since it’s super bowl Sunday XD
