Cherreads

Chapter 17 - I'm The Very Best! Aren't I? Aren't I?!

| In a Tokyo apartment, somewhere distant from Askka.

((Video games blipping))

"Hrm.. I have victory." Mikale cheered softly. /'Now that's done with, where should I work from here... '/

((Door opened))

His sister, Mimosa said, "Bro`O! Sinceee that school club busted you, you've just been a deadbeat solo player!"

Mikale replied, "And what IS your point?"

She grinned and said, "Please be patient. ANYway... I searched all over the net, scouring for a game we siblings could co-play. And my efforts were a success!"

'Bocketmon A&Z Legends... Got to catched them all?' He confusedly read.[1]

Jeeringly, she said, "Yep, that's right. A monster catching series too, popular for it's own well and good."

| Some time later...

"So I select a starter creature, yeah?" Mikale skeptically asked.

Mimosa explained, "Please! Make your choice -bro. There's Seedfrog, Pyrolizard, and Hydroturtle."

Perplexed, he said, "After some thought, I choose Pyrolizard. (...) Yes, yes. YES, I am sure!"

*Inspiring overjoyful music played*

Mockingly, she laughed, "And ME? My choice was Hydroturtle."

He replied, "Hrm.. Why should that matter to anyone?"

"Rrm_ " She grumbled breathily.

| More time later.

*Celebratory victory fanfare!*

Mimosa announced astutely, "For now I think, I'm perfectly good with my Bocketmon team of 5. HOW about you!"

"HrmHrM. Just five?" Mikale sneered at her. "I 'catched' 9 Bocketmon with differing types."

"Haunhh!" Her eyes widened as she groaned, "Hey! No fair! All of your NINE Bocketmon are -Level 13 so fast!"

He replied, "Though I am still becoming adjusted, *shirks* All I accomplished wasn't too difficult.. yet."

*She sat down irritatedly.

| Half an hour later.

"hah_Hrrrh... " Mikale sighed contently. "With my first gym leader duel easily concluded, I think I've done enough for my day 1. *Stretches* Sis? Are you having any dinner today? It's time to make our meals."

((Sounds of frustrated button movements))

Mimosa grumbled to herself, "I could've won that- I could've! Be calm. JUst be calm. *Mini breath* If I retreat now I'll, be more prepared than before."

"Hrm whatever, have it your way." He jeered, as he walked away.

| 15 minutes later.

He advised to her, "Sister. FYI: If you feel hungry at some point later, your pork rice will be in the fridge."

She cheered, "Finally. I have leveled my Lakeotter to level 10."

"Goodnight. See you in the morning, I hope." He commented in passing.

| HOURS later.

"I did it? Iiii beat the first gym leader all ON my... own?" She celebrated, until she slowly realized, "Wwhen did our house become so dark? What's the time??? (.!.!.)"
