It's not a double post as long as it's a new chapter. The three hours is a guideline, not a double-posting rule. (*edit* Oh, there's also the context. Um, in that case, I think as long as you're posting a new chapter and it's not right afterward, you should be fine.)

Although, you should definitely wait a while between posting chapters. If they're especially long, even up to three days.

Chapter 5

David couldn’t sleep very well, because he was worried about Luke. Sure, he wouldn’t see him for another week, but he wanted him to be OK. He stretched out with a yawn, and sent Charlie over. He saw in amazement a light almost as bright as the sun emerged, and his Ampharos jumped up.



David headed downstairs with Charlie, but then he heard a scream. He started running faster. “Mom, what’s wrong?!”

He went outside to his mother’s garden and saw her with a broom, ready to attack. A strange Pokémon was eating her Cheri Berries! “It’s... it’s…BLUE!!!!” she started screaming in horror.

The strange Pokémon turned to look at David’s mother. “..Lax?” it said with a confused voice. It appeared to be shining.

David’s jaw fell as he saw the shimmering Pokémon. There was a SHINY MUNCLAX eating his mother’s garden! “Mom, we gotta catch that thing, it’s SHINY!” he shouted as Charlie came running towards the extremely rare critter.

His mother looked surprised. “I’ll be right back, make sure it doesn’t run away!” She later came down with 6 Poké Balls. “I never got to use them. This is our chance!”

David grinned. His family would own a shiny Pokémon in just a matter of seconds. “Charlie, use Signal Beam! Don’t go too strong!” Charlie jumped in the air, spun around and literally shot a laser beam at the Munchlax. It staggered back, walking in a dizzy trance. It hit its head against a wall and fell down, barely moaning.

“NOW!” his mother shouted as she threw a neon pink Poké Ball at the Munchlax. David had never seen his mother catch a Pokémon before.

The Munchlax came into contact with the ball, and it got sucked in. David crossed his fingers. If it escaped, it would faint and run away because of confusion. He couldn’t let this go. It bounced. Once. Twice. Three time. A small sound came from the Poké Ball. It was caught. Both David and his mother jumped for joy. They had caught it!! David picked up the Poké Ball and said “Mom, it’s yours. You caught it, and I have a full party.” His mother grabbed the Poké Ball and thanked him.

David got ready for school, and he got on the bus with Rudy. “Rudy, you’ll never guessed what happened today! I caught a SHINY MUNCHLAX with my mother!” David said in excitement.

Nearly the whole bus and Rudy turned over in surprise and faced David. He told everyone the whole story. “My mom has this berry garden, and we just wake up to find it eating her Cheri Berries! She was trying to hit it with a broom, and none of us recognized it. Then it says its name and we knew it was a shiny! I weakened it with my Ampharos, Charlie, and my mom caught it. Now it’s hers!” Everyone stared in amazement at David.

When they arrived, Ian and Johnny met up with David and Rudy. Rudy told them about the shiny. Ian had a surprised face. “Dude, only like 2 people in the whole SCHOOL have a shiny Pokémon! One doesn’t even bring it!” he said in amazement. They all let out their Pokémon. Johnny let out his starter, a Grovyle, named Kevin. Rudy sent out Layla, his Altaria. Ian let out his Kecleon Cedric. All of them, including Charlie, took human form. They all walked towards the recess area.



Soon they saw a tall kid with a small mohawk bullying other kids and Pokémon. Behind him was James, laughing. “Quit it, James!” said Charlie as he ran towards him. David got a bit nervous, and he couldn’t even keep up with the energetic Pokémon.

James smiled. “Well, if it isn’t David.” You beat me with Paulina, but can you beat me with ALL of your Pokémon, against ALL of mine?!” David said “I-I-I don’t know what you mean” with a stammering voice. James laughed. “ A full battle. Ever heard of it? I challenge you on Sunday, near Mario’s shop. In that alley. Bring all of your Pokémon. And if you don’t show up…” Ryan, James’ Sharpedo, smiled evilly at him. He was showing his sharp teeth, even in human form.

Charlie frowned at Ryan as the bell rang. Charlie turned back into an Ampharos and went back into his Poké Ball. During the entire day, David thought about how he would beat James. If he did, he might finally shut up and leave everyone alone. He was a bit worried. He came home and the shiny Munchlax happily greeted him. His mother said he was a male, and she had named him Ron. “Hi, Ron!” he said as he gave the hungry Pokémon a leftover Leppa Berry from his lunch. The voracious eater ate it in 3 bites. He patted his head as he went upstairs with Charlie.

Right before he sent Charlie back, David asked Charlie something. “Hey, Charlie. Uh... I was just wondering something…” The Ampharos turned and looked at David. He turned back into a human. “What?” David was not sure how to say this. “Do you like Fergie?” he whispered. Charlie’s cheeks became red from embarrassment. “Yes, just keep it a secret!” he said in the tiniest voice he could. David almost started laughing, but he controlled himself and said “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. She might even like you. We can’t be sure.” Charlie said “Please don’t ask her… Oh, and about the battle… are we going?” David smiled as he sent Charlie back. “We’re not going. We’re winning.”
