17. Pikachu allergies

Tigress sneezed.

"Pikachu!"

"Pikachu? What on earth?" laughed a lemming.

"Pikachu! Pika-ha-pika-pikachu! What are you talking about? I'm just ha-ha-ha-pikachu!"

"Hachooing pikachus?" Pig Head, whose head was no longer a pig's head but still acted like one sometimes, teased.

"I - hi-high can't, pikachu, help it! Somebody shut that wingull."

"Wingull? Where? Where?" another lemming walked into the room, holding up on his phone, ready to go. "I want a wingull."

"Close that - that - dratini wingull!"

"Why's she talking in Pokémon?"

"I've got Ha-ha-"

"Hawlucha?"

"No, no. It's happiny. Must be, because of the 'ha' sound."

"Could be haxorus."

"What about hatenna, hatterene and hattrem?"

"Haunter?"

"No!" voices around the room chorused.

"She's saying 'ha', haunter starts with a haw."

"Oh. Right."

"So who was right?"

"Hay-pichu!"

"What?"

"Pichu. She said pichu. There's no such thing as a hay-pichu."

"You-you clefairies!"

"Why's she calling us clefairies?"

"Eiscues!"

"Is she referring to the original Japanese clefairy?"

"Guys, I think she's calling us blockheads."

There was a collective, "Oh."

"Then why didn't she just say so?"

"She did."

"Pikachu!"

"Is pikachu her new swear word? Cos it's kinda cute."

"Cutiefly my butterfree!"

"Translation: cute my butt. Look, she's nodding. See, I'm right."

"I've got hayfever! Al-al-"

"Here we go again."

"Alakazam!"

"Alomomola!"

"Alcremie!"

"Sure. I'll cream you."

"Shut up. Get lost. Hey! keep that cream away from me!"

(つ✧ω✧)つ∘˚˳°(o´･_･)っ

"Allergies! I've got - pikachu- allergies, you blockheads!"

"She's got pikachu allergies, everyone. Keep the pikachus away from her."

"Shuppet the dratini wingull! Pikachu!"

Blue Suede Shoes slid suavely into the room and promptly sneezed.

"Damn, which idiotic bug or plant used pollen puff in here?"

"Pikachu!"

"Not you, Pikachu. I know you can't use pollen puff, so it can't be you. Don't you lunatones know better than to let ribombee and jumpluff loose? Doncha know that some of us have allergies in here? Ever heard of hayfever? Listen."

"Pikachu!"

"Tigress has even turned into a pikachu because of you weedles who don't know how to wheedle when Tigress got tickets to the next convention."

Blue Sued Shoes smoothly closed the window, locked it and knelt by Tigress' feet, holding a tissue box up to her in one hand and a rubbish bin in the other.

"Pikachu!"

"You're welcome, your highness," Blue Suede Shoes bowed his head.

"Pikachu!"

"Thank you, your highness," Blue Suede Shoes received a ticket and smirked at the useles magikarps splashing around the room. Then he sang as he strolled out, "I'm goin' t'the convention and you snots aren't, doodah, doodah..."

In the meantime, the others used splash, trying to cozy up to the -

"Pikachu!"

It had no effect.
