"Speech"

Thought

"Telepathy"

"Where in the Distortion World is he?!" the cloaked figure yelled. The room is dark with six seats, but one is vacant.

"Probably got lost on the way, you know how Suicune is. But seriously Moltres, why are we cloaked in a dark room in the abandoned wing?" Zapdos asked as he tore of his cloak. "This thing is too tight…"

"And on that note, why -is- there an abandoned wing in the hall?" Entei inquired.

"Mew wanted it." Moltres answered. "And for your question, Zapdos, it's so that we can prepare for our uprising in peace and quiet."

A knock on the door had everyone prepare for combat, until Suicune entered. "Sorry I'm late, had to find the right room."

"Finally, we're all gathered."

"So, what's the plan, Moltres?" Entei asked the supposed leader of the gathering.

"Oh, it's actually pretty simple." Moltres grinned. "You are aware that Ho-oh is in love with Lugia, right?"

"Duh, the only one who -doesn't- know is Lugia himself. But what of it?" Raikou asked.

"Well, I heard from Hoopa that Ho-oh and Lugia are going on a date. So, while they're being all happy and unsuspecting, we'll strike!"

Entei looked unconvinced. "That's a tad too simple. Why won't Ho-oh just mop the floor with us?"

At this, Moltres smiled creepily. "Simple. She doesn't want Lugia to see her violent side. So, we six overwhelm Lugia quickly, take him hostage and make our demands."

"…I'm still having doubts about this, but it's all we have." Entei sighed. "Alright. When will the plan happen?"

"Tomorrow."

Next day

"Restaurant Le Wow?" Ho-oh asked in surprise as they stood in front of the entrance.

"Is- is it not good enough?" Lugia whispered nervously to her, as he didn't want to insult the staff.

"Are you kidding? It's the most famous restaurant in Kalos aside from Sushi High Roller that's reserved for the Champion and nobles. It's also very expensive."

"Oh. Well, I wanted to make sure you had a great time, so I spared no expenses, as an apology for… you know, last week…"

Ho-oh groaned inwardly. He's more into making this 'date' as an apology instead of realizing I want this because I like him. Why did I have to fall in love with the most dense legendary in the hall?! "Don't worry, let's just go in."

On the other side of the street, a group of six followed them with their eyes. "This complicates things…"

"No kidding Moltres, we won't be able to enter that place!" Entei complained. "Now what? Hey wait, where's Suicune?"

Zapdos pointed at the entrance. "He's there!"

Suicune waved for the others to come over.

The bouncer looked at the group of five. "Sir… Sune, is it?"

Suicune nodded. "That's me, and this is my group."

The bouncer looked at them once more. "I'm afraid I can't let them enter."

Moltres looked insulted. "And why not?"

"Sir, this is a place for fine dining, not a buffet for homeless. If you enter dressed like that, you'll give our restaurant a bad name."

If you knew that we were legendaries in human disguise you'd beg to let us enter! "So it's fine if we come back with proper attire?"

"Certainly."

Meanwhile, inside

Ho-oh stared in amazement. "You hired the private area? Just how much did this cost?!"

Lugia smiled sheepishly. "Only the best for today."

The waiters pulled out the chairs for Lugia and Ho-oh, but they didn't leave a menu.

"Huh? How are we supposed to choose if we don't have a menu?" Ho-oh asked.

"Ah, I've already fixed that as well." Lugia stated.

The waiters nodded and left.

Later, outside

"How about now?" Moltres asked the bouncer.

"…Yes, that'll suffice." The bouncer grunted in affirmation.

"I sure hope so, because after this, I'm broke."

The bouncer snorted but said nothing.

Back at Lugia and Ho-oh

"What a marvellous dinner this has been, Lugia. How'd you know what to order for me?"

Lugia coughed embarrassedly. "I, uh, asked someone for help." Arceus more specifiably. She knows everything about her children, after all…

"Well, give my thanks to whoever you asked."

"Will do. But before we leave, there's… something I'd like to… erm, say."

Ho-oh looked at Lugia in wonder. He had been acting very different for a while now. If she didn't know better, she'd think he would confess his love or something. "Go on."

"Well, we've known each other for a long time, and more recently, I've realized something."

Ho-oh's eyes widened. No way, is he…?!

Lugia gulped as he continued. "I'd just like to say, that I… I really…"

"Yes?"

"I like… no I-I-I… I need to go to the bathroom!" Lugia suddenly exclaimed and ran away.

Meanwhile, Ho-oh couldn't believe what he had heard. He was about to say 'I like' then changed it. It couldn't be, he was going to say he love me?!

After a few minutes, Ho-oh grew impatient. But then, a waiter arrived with a letter. "For you, ma'am."

"Thank you?" She asked before she read the letter. [We have Lugia. Come to the dark alley behind Le Wow, or else] Ho-oh could feel her blood boil. Those three, they bother me now of all times?! Of course, she wasn't aware that Lugia's trio was in on this as well, but it wouldn't matter. The phoenix had been angered.

Outside

"Why are you doing this, Moltres?" Lugia asked in confusion as he found himself tied up next to a garbage can.

"Because we're tired of being considered lesser legendaries! After today, Arceus will see that we are better than you and Ho-oh!"

Entei groaned. "You sound like a b-film villain, Moltres…"

"So, you guys were here…"

Everyone turned to see Ho-oh standing in the alley. She could barely contain her fury, as per Moltres idea, she didn't want to be violent in front of Lugia. But still, she smiled sweetly as she saw Lugia's trio. More specifically, Articuno.

"Articuno, could I ask you something?"

"Yeah?"

"Unless I remember correctly, didn't you owe me a favour?"

Articuno started to sweat slightly, but tried to play dumb. "I did? Why?"

"Oh, I don't know, didn't you have this deep, dark secret you'd never let anyone know?"

Articuno gulped. "I-I don't know what you're talking about…!"

Ho-oh grinned, and spelled it out with her lips, and Articuno paled. "How…!"

"I wonder what the hall would think if it spread."

"No…!"

"What is she on about?" Moltres asked, but Articuno ignored him, almost down on his knees.

"Don't say it!"

"I won't, but you must do something for me in return."

"What?"

Ho-oh pointed at Lugia. "Freeze."

Lugia didn't draw the dots, and suddenly, he was frozen solid.

The other five stared at Articuno. "What have you done?!"

Ho-oh grinned. "He spared himself from the worst part of the torture the five of you will suffer from!"

Next day

"Fractures, broken bones, concussions, extreme blood loss… what in the world happened to them, Ho-oh?!" Celebi asked.

"I don't know, I found them like this!" Ho-oh exlaimed(lied).

"Well, it's a good thing you brought them to me, I'll literally fix them up in no time."

Ho-oh nodded and went to Lugia's room.

"How are you feeling?"

Lugia groaned in the bed. "Better. Feels like I've frozen solid or something."

"Oh, a pokémon battle went haywire and a Glaceon hit you with an Ice Beam."

"I see."

"Enough about that, what'd you want to tell me?"

Lugia looked confused. "Tell you?"

"Yes, back at Le Wow. You wanted to tell me something before you had to go to the bathroom."

"Le Wow? I haven't been there in years."

"Lugia, we were there yesterday. You wanted to apologize for what happened last week? In my bedroom?"

Lugia just stared, not comprehending what Ho-oh talked about, until Celebi entered the room. "Lugia suffers from amnesia following being frozen solid. He's all but forgotten the whole week's events."

"But it'll return, right? Right?!" Ho-oh asked desperately.

Celebi shook her head. "No way to tell. It might return in an hour, it might never return."

"I see. Yes, it makes sense. Thank you Celebi." Ho-oh said before stiffly leaving the room. After the door closed, they heard a yell and a wall breaking down.

Lugia just looked at Celebi. "Is she angry?"

"I assume so, but not at you, that I can guarantee."

"Huh… ok…"

Alright people, help me out here. Give me suggestions! Ideas! Seriously, just tell me something you'd like to see happen! While I won't make every single thing happen, and I'm a slow writer so it might take time before it's up, it feels like I've only done the wishes of BlazingBlueFire14(aside from an occasional request from others here and there).
