Homecoming | PokéWars |
Last time, Icy had narrowly escaped from Giovanni when Dreadite
left him with a lovely parting gift, a Voltorb! And now...
-----=====HOMECOMING=====-----
Icy was finally regaining enough energy to walk again. He
sprung from the wheelchair. "I won't be needing this anymore." The
others weren't surprised the bit as Icy usually made quick recoveries. "Since
we are in my hometown, I should really visit my parents." At this, Icy's
friends shot him a disturbed glance. "What? Why are you staring at me
like that?"
"Icy, umm. you're a Pikachu. Your parents aren't going
to recognize you," Insane said hesitantly.
"Oh yeah. Well, you're just going to have to back me
up."
"Ok Icy. Let's go then."
They set off for Icy's house. Icy had not seen his parents
for almost half a year since he left to become a pokémon trainer. As they got near
to Icy's house, InsaneLlama went up and knocked on the front door. A fairly young
woman answered.
"Hello. Who are you?" she asked.
"The name's InsaneLlama. I'm a friend of your son,
Icy."
"Where is he?" She looked around but couldn't find
him anywhere.
"I'm right here mom," Icy said into his translator.
"That's quite a mean trick to pull on his mother. Now,
where is he for real?" Insane related to her about what happened to Icy during
Bill's experiment. She nearly fainted when she took another glance at the Pikachu
smiling back at her.
Icy's father heard her talking and came to the door to see who it
was. Insane told him the story also. Finally, they accepted Icy's new form. It
was already late into the day so they sat down to an early dinner.
At dinner, Icy told his parents about all the adventures he had
gone on since he left home. They were very proud of him, but also upset that he
never called them. He showed them all the pokémon he had captured. Then, he
formally introduced them to Insane and Tauras.
Just then the phone rang.
"Pika? Hello?" Icy answered.
"Icy!!! How are ya?" Random's familiar voice
was recognized by Icy instantly.
"Not too hot... How did you get this number?" Icy
groaned and smiled.
"The book."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
"Yeah."
"mm.hmm..."
"So how is PokeMon Tech???"
"I destroyed a PokeMon-sacrificing cult. You?"
"Met Giovanni - almost killed me."
"Cool."
"Yeah."
"Ivan evolved. He is now Vinnie - Vinnie the
Venusaur."
"Great!!! Does Tauras know about that name?"
"Bah! I don't care - I thought of it first."
"Okeh."
"Uh oh!!! Looks like I gotta go... Keg party!!! Cya
round little yellow buddy!" Random bid farewell to his younger teammate.
"Cya round Random!!! Call again!!!"
"I will. Tell everyone I said hey"
"Ok. Bye" And with that, Icy hung up.
They continued sharing their stories until late into the night. Icy's parents
offered his friends a guess room to spend the night. They fell asleep almost
instantly since they were so worn out from battling Team Rocket.
