Two days later

Pearl: "puts a satchel on Sunshine." All done. Is everyone ready

Silvia: More then ready! Let's go!

Leafy: Sis, weres your backpack

Lazuli: I'm not going...

Silvia: Why not? The beach is fun

Lazuli: I don't like it, it's too hot

Leafy: Ok, but it would be nice if you came

Lazuli: Sorry, Leafy. I mat not be there but you'll have a good time

Leafy: Okay

Speed: ... "Sighs," I guess I'm staying

Lazuli: Hold on what! Why I can take care of myself, besides, wouldn't you rather be with your siblings

Speed: Not like I have a choice, besides last time we left you home alone... you were in the Frezzer... for some reason, and all the ice cream was gone... you were sick for a whole day

Lazuli: "Blushes in emberesmemt" still!

Pearl: Alright, Speed will stay here. Besides, if anything happens, both of you can take care of it easily

Lazuli: "grones" fine

Black: we should get going

Pearl: Right

Sunshine: Da- big brother, you're not coming

Speed: "Hugs her." Don't worry, I can get there ten seconds flat

Sunshine: "Hugs back" A-aye

Speed: "Let's go." Have fun, Sunshine

Pearl: We're heading out

They leave to the beach

Lazuli: im going to my room. "She walks away and sighs." I guess I'm just going to have to deal with it,"goes into her room and takes a book. " Tee hee, now I can continue my story... let's see where I left off

Speed: "Knocks on the door"

Lazuli: "opens the door." What is it

Speed: So we're low on food, so I was thinking of going out for lunch

Lazuli: Sure, what time

Speed: The afternoon seems good

Lazuli: yea ok "closes door"

Speed: If you need something, just shout, "walks to the living room, and takes his game console."

Console: "it shows Salamence Fighters Y"

A while later

Lazuli: "She puts down her book." looks like I read all of them

Speed: "Knocks" Lazuli, it's almost noon. Let's go for lunch

Lazuli: "opens the door"

Speed: hungry yet

Lazuli: a little

Speed: All right, let's go then

Later

Lazuli: Hey, um

Speed: ya

Lazuli: Sorry if it's intrusive, but... why are your eyes blue? Don't Jolteons have purple eyes

Speed: "Lowers glasses" ... I've had them since I hatched. My uncle has them to

Lazuli: Is he an Eeveelution

Speed: he's a Shiny Eevee. Actually, he won't evolve for some reason... off topic, but have you ever been on a date

Lazuli: day and time

Speed: Well ya, but I meant the other kind

Lazuli: Have you been on one

Speed: "Looks up" no... well, almost, I was like 9 or something

Lazuli: Can you explain

Speed: it's a boy and a girl going out to have fun, like going to the park or going to the movies

Lazuli: I need to start reading books that have that word... wait, who was the girl with you

Speed: Silvia has a history of making guys fall for her, didn't work on me, and she was not my type. She thought she was my girlfriend

Lazuli: But she was your friend

Speed: Girlfriend means like a romantic partner, I was more focused on being a rescuer

Lazuli: ow... speaking of that, how did you learn those moves

Speed: Well, I could tell you, but you'd have to do training to actually understand it

Lazuli: ... I'll think about it

Later in Sunny town

Lazuli: "looking around." Hey, we're are we going

Speed: one of my favorite places, "opens door" yo pops been a while

Pops: "Chuckles" welcome. However, you were here yesterday

Speed: "Chuckles," yeah, well, you know me, focus on where you are

Pops: usual, rice, curry, and ramen

Lazuli: "shocked" that much

Speed: "smerks" need the calories for training

Pops: And you young lady

Lazuli: Hmmm ... fried rice

Pops: drinks

Speed: the usual soda

Lazuli: lemonade

Pops: Very well

Both: "sit down"

Lazuli: So you come here often

Speed: ya, my best friend introduced me to this place, where rescuer buds still go on missions together

Lazuli: You have friends?

Speed: "Frowns" I find that insulting

Lazuli: "Giggles." No, you seem like the type not to make friends

Speed: "Rolls eyes" I'm not

Lazuli: Where are you from anyway

Speed: Green hills

Lazuli: hu

Speed: We're you almost ran into me. I live by that road

Lazuli: So that's why you were standing there

Speed: Now we're are you from

Lazuli: "looks away." I don't wanna talk about it

Speed: ... bad memories, I'm guessing

Lazuli: "nods"

Speed: "Shrugs" well, I won't pry

Lazuli: "Looks out side the window and sees some couples walking down the street"... "slight blush"

Speed: "Notices" something wrong

Lazuli: i-it's nothing just t-thinking about something

Their food arives and they eat

Speed: nom nom nom... thought Resterances and Earth me and you are the hungry ones

Lazuli: waaa

Pops: he does that a lot

Later

Both: "exit"

Lazuli: That was really good

Speed: told you, before we go home, I heard you ran out of books, so I thought you'd like the bookstore, maybe gets some ice cream

Lazuli: "Sparkle eyes." Really?

Speed: ... "Faint blush" cute

Lazuli: "Blushes"

Speed: (I said that out loud!) Sorry

Lazuli: "Waves paws around." it's fine!

Later, at the book store

Lazuli: Hmmm, "sighs." Aready read those

Speed: "Looks around" ... "sees something," no way, "takes it."

Lazuli: What cha find

Speed: "shose her the book" Gi Gi: Bizzare Journey

Lazuli: ... um, ok... I didn't think you'd like reading

Speed: I like comics. My sister showed me her collection

Lazuli: Ok then, maybe I should ask her

Later

Cheshire: "Hands over the packedge" here you go

Lazuli: Thank you~

Speed: "Sweat drops" that's a lot of books

Lazuli: I usually get ten

Speed: "eyes widen" holy Arceus

Excuse me, Arkoos

Lazuli: Are we going to get ice cream now

Speed: Of course

Lazuli: "smiles" great

Speed: "Tilts head" ... (Why do I feel like this)

Later

Lazuli: mmm~ "Eating chocolate ice cream"

Speed: So what's your plan when we get home

Lazuli: Just read in my room

Speed: Don't you ever get tired of reading

Lazuli: No

Speed: "sighs"... say, has anyone ever had a crush on you

Lazuli: "grones" one. He's really creepy. I'm just glad I didn't run into him today

Speed: he's a flirt, I'm guessing

Lazuli: Yes, and weirdo. You're definitely better than him

Speed: "Thumbs up" that's good, at least

Lazuli: Was Silvia like that for you

Speed: wasn't a creep but kind of

Lazuli: ... can we get more ice cream

Speed: "deadpan"

Later back at the house

Lazuli: Finally... home at last

Speed: would have been back earlier if you didn't get five ice creams

Lazuli: "Side eyes him."

Speed: "raises paws" don't give me that look

Lazuli: "smiles" thanks. I'll be in my room

Speed: "nods"

Lazuli: "walks into her room." Wonder how Leafy is doing

Speed: "knocks on door"

Lazuli: "opens door." What do you want

Speed: ... to be honest, I just want some company

Lazuli: You really should have gone with others

Speed: "Sighs," ya, I know

Lazuli: You can come in. Just don't pull anything on me

Speed: I'm not a creep!

Lazuli: "Chuckles" just messing with you

Speed: "pouts"

Lazuli: You're just like your sister

Later

Lazuli: "Reading"

Speed: "playing a game"

Lazuli: Just a book

Speed: I know what it is. By the color, is it a love story, Kris, showd me a few of those ... no reply

Lazuli: There is now, I'm trying to read , just shut up before I kick you out

Speed: "has a frown" back at the restaurant, you didn't want to answer my question, what happened

Lazuli: ..."puts book down and has a dark look." It's... It's not like hated that place

Speed: Then why don't you be honest with me

Lazuli: Why should I tell you?!

Speed: Well... because... look... you seem really upset when I mentioned it, I just can't help but wonder why

Lazuli: ... fine! I... I came from terry town, it's about 10 miles away from here, every time I think about it I'm reminded of that old man

Speed: You mean your dad

Lazuli: That old man kicked us out as soon as mom passed away...

Speed: ..."Rubs the back of his head." I know it's personal, but what happened to her was she sick,

Lazuli: I don't know. As soon as Leafy and I found her, we saw ... "shivers." we saw her lying in a small red puddle with a long red line on her neck and her bleeding out of her neck... then she stopped breathing "has a traumatized look in her eye"

Speed: ... was there anything moved? Was there someone else

Lazuli: No, everything was in its place, and it was only me, lefy, mom, and the old man

Speed: "thinks" did... did something feel different

Lazuli: ... there was this weired pressure

Speed: "relizes"

Lazuli: What

Speed: Cursed spirit

Lazuli: "feels like she's being drownd" w-whats that

Speed: she was attacked, not by a Pokémon or natural causes

Lazuli: Then what was it

Speed: You see, me and other mons here have what's called Cursed Energy

Lazuli: Cursed... Energy

Speed: it's energy that is caused by negative emotions. Everyone can create it, but not everyone can control it... when a collective amount of it is accumulated will give form to one, but now adays they cause Berserkers

Lazuli: That... that can't be true if it was something like that old man would have protected us, "desperate not to believe it"

Speed: I know it's hard to believe, but I need you to understand-

Lazuli: No! You're the one that needs to understand! Dad was always ignoring us, but he was never really mean to us until "starts crying" what happened to mom... i... "sob"...I... I don't know what happened to mom... "sob" and t-that old man... as soon as he got there he hit me...
"Sob" and said he'd burn us alive... "Sob" if we didn't leave the house, in the end we still don't know what happened to mom

Speed: ... "Hugs her,"

Lazuli: ... "crys in his shoulder"

Speed: at least... you saw her go, I've never really had parents, only my uncle

Lazuli: "Listening will still sobbing."

Speed: Ever since then, I've been trying to fill that hole with others

Lazuli: "Let's go" ...

Speed: I'm sorry

Lazuli: hu

Speed: If I had been born earlier, maybe I could have helped you, but at least you have your sister right

Lazuli: "wipes her eyes."

Speed: fell a little better

Lazuli: I guess so...

Speed: If we ever see, I'll be sure to use red on him

Lazuli: Really

Speed: I'm serious

Lazuli: "Yawns"

Speed: tired from crying

Lazuli: "hits him with her elbow."

Speed: "rolls eyes." Why don't you take a nap? I'm not a creep

Lazuli: ... okay... "goes to her bed,"

Speed: I'll lea-

Lazuli: No, please stay

Speed: "Yawns" guess I'm tired too

Lazuli: You can sleep on the floor

Speed: "takes a pillow and lays down." Well, sleep tight,"takes glasses off. " Sweet dreams

Lazuli: Huh?

Speed: ... I say that to Sunshine before bed

Lazuli: No, it's... nice

Speed: I hope the others are having fun

Lazuli: me to

Both: "go to sleep"

Hours later

Both: "Sleeping on the floor together"

Sunshine: D-big brother... "walks over" ...  "sleeps between them"
