ML54: I really think the ending to this great story kind of sucks. I really hope it doesn't.

Pansage: You said there'd be a sequal anyway. So it's not really ending as it is a new beginning.

Oshawott: This has gotten weirdly philisophical.

ML54: Emolga disclaimer!

Emolga: The pushy ML54 doesn't own Pokemon.

Curtains Open, Then Close

Oshawott sat in his bed, Snivy snuggled into his side asleep. Though he was just too excited to get any rest. The musical's in SEVEN HOURS! He couldn't sleep, as he was afraid Ash would think him too tired to go and leave him here.

Sure the Water type knew Ash would never do that, but it doesn't hurt to be sure.

Time seemed to be going unbearably slowly for the otter though. He just can't seem to find anything to do except stroke his mate's back as she slept soundly. He moved his gaze from the door he expect Ash to enter through to look at Snivy.

He smiled, inwardly, to himself. She truly was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen and cursed his stupidity from not seeing it before. Oshawott wasn't quite sure how a Pokemon as pretty as her could ever fall for someone like him, but didn't question it. The World worked in mysterious ways he supposed.

"You should be asleep..." He heard her soft voice tell him. He froze as she lightly opened her eyes.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." She smiled at his concern and nuzzled his chin lightly before pulling herself up to look him eye-to-eye.

"You didn't. My sleeping pattern has gone to tatters recently, trying to keep you safe." He playfully gave her a slap on her back with the paw that was around her.

"I was hardly going to be hurt in a Pokemon Centre and I was definitely not going to wander off. Not with THAT anyway." He explained, motioning to the cast on his leg. "It was really nice of you to do that for me, but you really shouldn't have risked your health like that."

"Oh please. I can handle it." Oshawott rolled his eyes slightly. Smugness ran in the Snivy bloodline he supposed. But it is very much the pot calling the kettle black if he were to judge her for being big headed. Oshawott had a tonne of those moments himself. Just another thing that connects the pair.

"I know you can. But if you can worry about me, I think I'm entitled to worry about you." He then glanced at his casted leg and sighed. "The next gym is a Ground type gym, isn't it?" Snivy tilted her head to the side.

"I think so. Why?"

"I think Ash would have used me in his next gym battle. I just...I want my stupid leg to heal so I can help him." Snivy smiled softly, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Don't forget. Nurse Joy and Nurse Audino are going to try and get you walking on your own in a few hours. That'll mean that your healing within their time zones and you'll be ready to kick some ass by then." Oshawott grinned back, taking her free hand in his uninjured paw.

"Thank you Snivy. You always know how to make me feel better." Suddenly fatigue started to wash over him and he yawned out. Snivy let go of his paw and shoulder and hugged back into his side again. Getting the pair comfortable.

"You're welcome. Now get some rest. You don't want to be falling asleep during the musical, do you?" She had a very good point, so Oshawott put his uninjured paw round her and pulled her closer, nuzzling into the top of her head.

"Night Snivy." She giggled at his fur brushing her neck.

"Technically it's 3 in the morning but night anyway..." She trailed off, joining him in dreamland.

5 hours later

"Pikachu should be fine and back to full health. That Solarbeam packed quite the punch, but he should be good for battling right away." Nurse Joy happily said to Ash, handing him Pikachu. Pikachu happily jumped on his trainer's shoulder and nuzzled him briefly before joining the others.

"Thanks Nurse Joy. I really appreciate it." He glanced over his shoulder as Oshawott took his first step off of his crutches. He seemed to grit his teeth, but still swung his other leg round quickly. "For everything. For helping Oshawott get better. I was scared of losing him."

"Every trainer is like that. But it's just my job. I do it for the health of the Pokemon, even if I don't get thanked at all. But still I appreciate your thanks." She replied cheerfully.

"Pikachu?" The yellow mouse heard from behind him. But he wasn't sure he was hearing right.

He looked round and confirmed that it was Snivy talking to him. Without a hiss or sneer or any malicious content at all. Curiosity getting the better of him, he spoke. "Snivy? What do you need?"

The Grass type seemed to find the ground very interesting at the moment, as if being around him was awkward. "I just...I. Thank you for saving Oshawott. And..." She stopped and thought for a moment. She glanced at Oshawott, who was practicing standing right now.

He caught her eye and nodded at her, as if mentally getting a message from her. She then glanced back, then stepped forward and brought the confused Electric type into a friendly hug. "I forgive you." She whispered to him and pulled back.

"Y-you're welcome." Pikachu replied, not really knowing how to respond to the sudden change in Snivy's attitude with him. Yet he was ecstatic. Now that Snivy trusted him, they could act as a full team again. Snivy nodded and trotted off towards Emolga to talk. Suddenly he felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around his back.

He grinned and grabbed said arms, loosening them enough to spin in them and plant a firm kiss to Buneary's lips. It was so easy to deduce it was her. Said rabbit giggled cutely and pulled back once air was running out. "She forgive you?"

"Yup." Pikachu grinned back. "Our team is all together again."

"Emolga?!" Snivy called up the tree. Emolga glanced down at her from said tree, apple in paw and half eaten.

"Hey Snivy! Want an apple?!" She replied, pointing to the apple just in front. Snivy, still not really used to being on friendly terms with the flying squirrel, nodded. "Okay! Then catch!" Emolga used a quick Air Cutter and the red orb fell into Snivy's hands. Then another fell and she caught it with her vines. "That one's for Oshawott!"

Emolga then dropped her one and flew down, and caught it as she landed. "So what did you come to see me about?" Snivy blushed and motioned them to sit down.

Emolga did as she was told, as Snivy took the seat next to her. Snivy sighed. "Well...You know me and Oshawott are mates now..."

"After you guys did it in the Tunnel of Love. Yeah I was there." Snivy blushed further and hid it behind her leaf like tail. Sure the pair had cleaned up after themselves, but the pheromones she left behind were sort of a give away.

"Y-yeah...well it's just that. Well we were both kind of new to it. And our parents didn't seem to give us much insight into it." She explained to the patiently listening Dual type. "He almost stuck me in the wrong hole more than once."

"Yeah. My mom told me about that. Apparently it could feel good. But it hurts a lot more than a hymen breaking and I'm sure you felt how bad THAT was." Snivy nodded, feebly. "So. Why'd you come to see me exactly? I'm sure it's not just for 'girl talk'."

"Well...Y-you're mom seemed to give you m-more info then m-mine. So I was wondering...c-could you tell me s-some things. H-how to...well...spice it up a bit..." If Snivy was red before, she felt like a furnace now! Emolga grinned back.

"Sure I could. Just relax and let Emolga here teach you a few things." Snivy stared at the, apparently, shameless Pokemon sitting next to her, taking a bite out of her apple. This was going to be a LONG talk.

"Way to go Oshawott!" Tepig exclaimed, cheering his team-mate on as he limped around.

"Yeah! You're doing great!" Buizel added.

"YAY! Uncle Oshawott's getting better!" Axew cheered, holding Scraggy's paw. Oshawott waved back as he finished the little course that Nurse Audino set up.

"Congrats Oshawott. You should be able to walk on your own without the crutches so long as you don't put too much stress on that leg. Also the painkillers you'll be on will be a lot weaker. So you won't be delusional." The relief was show on his face, he really didn't want to be randomly singing anymore.

"Thanks Nurse Audino." The Audino nodded cheerfully, checking a couple of things on her clipboard and rushed off to find Nurse Joy. The group rushed up to him.

"You excited!" Scraggy asked. Oshawott nodded.

"You betcha!" Oshawott announced, pumping his good paw in the air. "The musical is going to be awesome!"

"Welcome to the Pokemon Musical Arena!" Francis had declared, proudly, to the large group that now, also consisted of Stephan, Professor's Oak and Juniper and Gary. All their Pokemon by their feet. "Come right this way!"

Oshawott was excitedly entering with his paw in Snivy's, enthusiastic about this.

He knew he was far from healed yet, but the most important thing to him was that he WAS healing. He was going to watch the musical, one of his dreams since he first saw it televised. Finally and most importantly he had the girl he loved next to him the whole time.

He was in a critical condition. But with these factors...It seemed far less serious.

ML54: See what I mea by a sucky ending. It was extremely anti-climactic!

Pikachu: I thought you were building up some stuff for the sequal.

ML54: *Sighs* I guess I was...a bit.

Snivy: Well at least you finished a multichap. And this is the first one you finished in a while!

ML54: Well that's something. I'd just like to thank everyone that reviewed this story and kept it going! over 100 reviews. Your the reason I keep writing pebble people! So keep on reviewing, but not flaming, and I'll keep on writing! Review please, but no flames.
