Chapter 13: Kirin

Popplio's P.O.V.

Weekend is finally here, the three of us woke up so late ever since that night. Of course, I was the most late out of everyone. I was just sitting on the sofa in the living room while eating some chocolate jam straight from the jar while watching another black and white movie that Chairo rent.

Buizel: "Why?! Why must you hurt me this way!?"

Popplio: "Wow, I never realize how good these movies are. Maybe Chairo wasn't wrong about renting these DVDs."

Torracat: "Popplio? Can you come here for a sec?"

Popplio: "Oh? I'm coming!"

I turned the TV off and put the jar near the TV before running off to the Kitchen where Torracat is. When I arrived to where she is, she seems a bit troubled while looking for something.

Torracat: "Oh no... where could it be?"

Popplio: "Is everything alright Torracat?"

Torracat: "Oh! Popplio? Have you seen the pudding in the fridge?"

Popplio: "A pudding? Which one?"

Torracat: "The vanilla pudding with chocolate and vanilla vla around it. I'm sure it was in the fridge."

Popplio: "Oh that? I ate it."

Torracat: "Wait... you what?!"

Popplio: "Hehe, that pudding was delicious that I couldn't resist on eating it so I ate it clean. Thanks for the pudding, Torracat!"

Torracat: "But... I didn't make that..."

Popplio: "Huh? Then... Who made it?"

Torracat: "It's...."

Flashback

Torracat was walking passed the Kitchen but then she looked over and saw someone near the Kitchen sink, it was Shiro who was busy making something while her face was all messy.

Torracat: "Oh? Hey there dear, what are you making?"

Shiro: "Ah! Hey Torracat! I'm making a pudding for Chairo's anniversary!"

Torracat: "Aww... how sweet. What's the occasion?"

Shiro: "It's to celebrate the day Chairo mastered one of Master Sasuke's signature jutsu, Chidori."

Torracat: "You guys do that type of anniversary?"

Shiro: "Well... not really. But I remember that day like it was yesterday. Chairo was super happy when he finally mastered that jutsu that he couldn't keep his cool, it was so cute of him to look that happy so I was thinking of celebrating that day by making this pudding for him!"

Torracat: "That's so nice of you, Shiro. Should I help making the pudding?"

Shiro: "It's okay, I want to make this pudding super special for him by making it handmade straight from me!"

Torracat: "I see. Well, good luck on that. If you need my help, just ask."

Shiro: "I will! I shall make the best pudding for Chairo! Because I love him so much!"

Torracat: "... And that's why I was looking everywhere for that pudding so that I can... help her giving it to Chairo for his anniversary...."

Popplio: "...Waitsoyou'resayingthatthepuddingwasmadebyShiroanditwasforChairoandyou'resayingthatIatetheone andonlypuddingthatwasmeantforhimandthatwastheonlyoneAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Torracat: "Popplio..."

Popplio: "AAAAAAAAHHHH!!! WHAT IN THE NAME OF ARCEUS HAVE I DONE!!? I'M SO STUPID!!!"

I could only run around the Kitchen while screaming out of agony and regret knowing what I've done until I slowly got tired and put my face on the table hard while scratching my head.

Popplio: *Cries* "What have I done....? He was so kind to me and he helped me out on getting over my sadness and now I've eaten the one and only... The precious pudding that was made straight by Shiro herself... I'm a monster..."

Torracat: *Pats her back* "Now now dear... Crying like this won't solve anything. You can apologize to him, I'm sure he'll forgive you."

Popplio: "A-Are you sure he'll forgive me? I mean, I've done something utterly stupid and bad... How am I supposed to live my life with this regret...?"

Torracat: "Just apologize to him, Popplio. If he was that kind towards you, I'm sure he'll understand if you explain everything."

Popplio: "...Alright. Where is he now?"

Torracat: "He's in the backyard doing his training."

Popplio: "Thanks, Torracat."

I walked around the house towards the backyard and that's when I saw Chairo there, meditating on his own. I approach him while feeling my chest is getting heavy every time I took a step towards him.

Popplio: *Gulps*(Oh gosh... I'm not sure if I could do this...)

Chairo: "... Hey Popplio."

Popplio: "Ah! Ch-Chairo?! How did you..."

Chairo: "I can sense your presence by detecting your power." *Gets up and turns around* "What's up?"

Popplio: "Umm... uhh... I... I wanna see what you're training right now! Yeah! That's it!"

Chairo: "Oh? You're interested to see my training? Sure."

Popplio: (Damn it I just can't!! What's wrong with me?!)

Chairo: *Turns around* "So you see, I'm trying to master a modified version of Chidori. Of course, this was modified by Master Sasuke himself."

Popplio: "O-Oh, Chidori... Yeah, that..." (Out of all jutsu... Now my chest feels even more heavier...)

Chairo: "And I'm in luck. It's cloudy today so I can easily pull this jutsu off."

Popplio: "Huh? Why's that?"

Chairo: "Just watch. I'm going to use this jutsu on that can over there"

The clouds started roaring out lightning before Chairo bring his left arm up into the sky that has his Chidori on it. The sparks in the jutsu started going up towards the sky as the thunder roars louder now.

Chairo: "The name of this jutsu is Kirin."

Out of nowhere, the sparks within Chairo's Chidori draws something out of the stormy cloud. It was a giant dragon head made purely out of lightning.

Popplio: *Jaws dropped* "Aaa...."

Chairo: "Within a thunder clap... begone."

Chairo brought his left arm down before the jutsu strikes the can in front of him which not only destroys the can to bits but also shook the ground a bit.

Litten: "Wh-Whoa! Lightning sure strikes hard today."

Incineroar: "Agh the thunder is so loud, I can't focus on my game."

Torracat: "My goodness... why's the lightning so hard today?"

-

-

The ground in front of us was now nothing but a crater, showing how hard that jutsu actually strikes.

Popplio: "Aaaaa..."

Chairo: "Well, that's the end of it. What do you think, Pop-"

When Chairo turned around, I was already gone as he saw me quickly fleeing the area out of hurry and enter the house again.

Chairo: "Hmm? What's wrong with her?"

Chairo suddenly feel a tingle on his left arm before he holds it while grunting in pain.

Chairo: "Grrhh... I might've gone too far on that..."

I ran in the house out of hurry before entering my room and close the door with my back while breathing heavily and my eyes widen out of shock.

Popplio: "Wh-Wh-What was that?! That was too strong!! I-If I say it, h-he might've killed me with that!! Th-That does it!!"

I quickly bring out my phone as I quickly call the entire group by doing a group voice call.

Popplio: "Code red!! Code red!! This is urgent!!"

Hyde: *Yawns* "What is it Popsicle...? I still need to sleep..."

Fennekin: "Is everything alright, Popplio?"

Popplio: "NO!! Nothing is alright!! Quickly soldier! We are gathering at the bird's nest!! I repeat! We are gathering at the bird's nest!!"

Rowlet: "Are you seriously referring my home as a nest?"

Popplio: "No objection, bird brain!! This is urgent, so get moving!!"

Hyde: "Give me 5 more min-"

Popplio: "NOW!!"

I close the call before I quickly put on my jacket and run out of the room out of hurry. When I opened the door, I got stopped when I saw Chairo was there.

Popplio: "AAH!!! CHAIRO!! DON"T STRIKE ME WITH THAT!!"

Chairo: "Huh? Strike you? I was just going to heal my arm with some healing oil."

Popplio: "O-Oh, alright then."

Chairo: "I... I'm sorry if that jutsu seems so frightening for you."

Popplio: "H-Huh? Oh! Umm... It's fine! I uhh... have to go!!" *Runs away*

Chairo: "Huh? Seems like there's something urgent. Well, I believe she can handle it."

-

Only took me for about a minute until I finally arrived at Rowlet's house and luckily the entire group arrived. We all gathered around in Rowlet's living room and I was just sitting with them while hugging my knees, shuddering in fear.

Popplio: "Ebubebubbubuhbubh...."

Pikachu: "You sure you're alright, Popplio? It's like you saw a ghost or something."

Comfey; "Maybe it's because of the lightning that strikes Litten's backyard just now."

Fennekin: "Oh yeah! My sis saw it! She said the lightning strikes very hard somehow."

Hyde: "I'm not sure about that. Naturally, lightning only startles Popplio, not frighten her."

Popplio: "That wasn't just any lightning..."

Comfey: "Huh? It wasn't?"

Popplio: "That was... Chairo's jutsu..."

Rowlet: "Oh? Well, I guess it make sense. He is very strong, after all."

Fennekin: "Yeah! Not only he can reforesting the school's forest, now he can draw lightning!"

Popplio: "Guys... there's something I need to explain..."
