Summer vacation was ending which meant that the kids wouldn't see their friends as much, they had each other, but Eloise informed them that they were going to be bored out of their minds with Phil, her private home tutor, visiting. Nanny told them that Phil needed animals out of sight during his visits, which also meant Vulpix. Margarita was playing with the four kids today and they were playing hide and seek now in the lobby. And then out of nowhere, during their game, Akito's Pokemon egg glowed once more and got brighter.
"56, 57, 58, 59... 60!" Eloise counted as she hid behind a man, then shoved him once she finished counting. "Ready or not, here I come!" she called, running to look for the others who were hiding.
The Pokemon egg was closer and closer to fully glowing which meant it would hatch a new battle monster soon.
"It's about to hatch, this is amazing! I wonder what Pokemon it will be?" Akito said as he looked at the Pokemon egg.
"Found you!" Eloise got to him.
"Aw, no fair!" Akito frowned.
Eloise giggled, then noticed the egg glowing. "Ooh, we better find the others and quick before your egg hatches!"
Akito nodded and went with her to find the others.
Estelle had been behind a vase and Vincent was behind a curtain.
"Now, where to find Margarita?" Eloise wondered.
"She shouldn't be far." Vincent said.
Eloise checked under a couch as a woman was sitting and drinking tea, she saw that there had actually been a cat there and she backed away from it. Akito, Estelle, and Vincent decided to try to help her, looking behind a crowd of adults, but still no sign of their friend. Margarita's feet were shown behind a chair where a man was reading his newspaper however.
"I think I found her." Estelle whispered to her brothers and cousin.
"Gotcha!" Eloise chirped, chasing after Margarita now.
The girls laughed and fell together after Eloise tried to tag her legs. The hotel manager came to the kids, looking rather cross.
"Sorry, Mr. Salamone." The kids said before the egg glowed for the third final time.
Mr. Salamone picked Eloise and Margarita up from the floor. "Kids... Haven't I told you many times that your games, such as hide and seek, or any games that frighten hotel guests and send them running for cover are prohibited in the lobby?"
"Hmm... Rings a bell..." Margarita gave a small smile.
"That does sound familiar, Mr. S." Eloise gave a shrug.
"Let's keep that in mind in the future, shall we?" Mr. Salamone gave a small smile to them then, deciding not to punish them this time.
"Yes, sir." Estelle said.
"Um, guys, the egg is about to hatch." Akito informed them after noticing the final glow.
"Come on, let's go sit down." Eloise took them to a couch where they could have a little bit of privacy.
Once they all sat, Akito needed extra space and he looked to his egg after it was done glowing.
"I've never seen anything like this." Margarita was entranced.
The glow stopped and where it showed a Larvitar.
"Cool, it's a Larvitar." Akito said.
"Looks kinda evil..." Eloise was nervous.
"I'll train him not to hurt any of you." Akito promised.
Eloise sighed and flopped back against the couch. "Oh, this has been the funnest summer ever..."
"Was the funnest summer you mean," Margarita spoke up to them, giving a small pet to the Pokemon. "It's all over next week! I have to go back to school... So does Yuko... So does everyone! Everyone, except you guys."
"Maybe we don't have to go school exactly, but as long as Akito, Vincent, and Estelle are here, we do have Philip," Eloise replied. "My mean and boring tutor! He's no fun, trust me..."
"If he's mean and boring as you say he is, then we believe you." Estelle said.
"Yeah, but, um does anyone else other than me notice that Larvitar doesn't seem to be moving or waking up?" Vincent asked.
"Oh, he needs to be warm..." Akito removed his bandanna as a temporary warmer, wrapping the Larvitar in it.
"You look different without your bandanna..." Vincent observed.
Akito laughed, he couldn't help it, after all, Mo wore one all the time when she was younger.
"Why do you even have a tutor?" Margarita asked the blonde girl.
"Mother insists," Eloise explained. "Since she travels a lot, she can't teach me, but she can come back in a moment's notice and I'm too energetic for a school. Plus, I went to nursery school when I was little, and Nanny says that did not go well at all."
"And why were you guys home-schooled?" Margarita asked the girl's cousins then.
"We kind of insisted." The Fudo siblings said in unison.
"What do you mean?" Margarita asked.
"We just thought it would be best, plus since we don't go to a school, we don't have to worry about missing classes if crazy adventures happen to us like they did our parents when they were younger." Vincent explained.
A familiar face came into the hotel.
"Yuko!" Eloise and Margarita came to her and hugged her.
Yuko smiled to them, then to Eloise's cousins and they were all introduced instantly. "My uncle has told me very much about you and your friends with ruining the marriage of that Coco LaBouche." she sounded pleased to meet the Fudo siblings.
"Well, Coco wasn't the right woman for Chuckie's dad." Vincent said.
"That was very brave," Yuko smiled. "Now, shall we play hide and seek?"
The others agreed, but they could not play their game as there came a man who looked like a college professor, he carried a satchel and papers, adjusting his glasses and looking at the time.
"Oh, no!" Eloise gasped once she spotted him coming through the entrance.
The Fudo siblings somehow knew exactly who this man was and decided to hide with her and the newly hatched Larvitar. Several men left one elevator and the kids hid with them so they wouldn't be spotted.
Margarita and Yuko tried to look innocent, but Philip told them he already knew the kids were downstairs and trying to hide away from him. "Nice try, girls, but I saw Eloise and her cousins standing with you two when I came in," he spoke to them. "Please tell them that their lessons begin in ten minutes and if they're not upstairs, ready to learn by nine, there will be consequences." he then walked off.
"Of course, sir." The girls said smiled forcibly.
Philip then went to the elevator to get to the penthouse floor to Eloise's room. Eloise came to see them to say goodbye as she went to the elevator to her room so they could be tutored.
"This is so unfair!" Eloise hissed once they were all in. "I can't believe we have to go upstairs and learn while the others get to stay down here and have fun!" she then folded her arms, wishing Philip was never her tutor.
"You know, we could always replace him with Tech." Akito suggested.
"Who?" Eloise asked.
"Never mind..." Akito sighed.
After the animals and Pokemon were locked in the other room until the tutoring would be over with Lavitar really close to the heater to warm itself up, Philip sat in front of the kids.
"Now kids, I'm sure you don't know this, but your cousin has an extreme lack of focus, I'm not saying she doesn't know her work, but this, her attitude, and behavior can be a menace," Philip told the kids before starting the lesson for the day. "I've been patient."
"She's energetic, what do you expect?" Akito asked.
"Actually guys, I think he's right." Eloise folded her arms.
"I... I am?" Philip looked surprised at Eloise's sudden maturity.
"Yes, and I'm rather sorry," Eloise frowned. "Please continue. I shall be focused and all that other stuff from now on and my cousins will help. We promise."
Philip looked to them in surprise. "Oh, very well then..." he then looked through his papers to find the one for today.
"Follow my lead." Eloise whispered to her cousins.
The Fudo siblings agreed. Philip opened up a French book and practiced a French greeting. Eloise repeated him, trying to mimic him.
"That's quite enough, Eloise." Philip narrowed his eyes to her.
"That's quite enough, Eloise." Eloise repeated with a smile.
"I mean it, Eloise." Philip glared to her.
"I mean it, Eloise!" the cousins then joined all together to annoy him.
"Stop it at once, you four!" Philip glared.
"Stop it at once, you four!" the cousins just repeated.
"NANNY!" Philip yelled out.
"Nanny!" the kids did the same.
And as if on cue, Nanny came in once her name was called. "What is it for Lord's sake?"
"Nanny, I'm sorry, I thought I could do it, but this child has driven me crazy and her cousins are no help," Philip looked firm with her. "I'm going to have to resign."
"Oh, Philip, please don't!" Nanny cried for him.
"Maybe we went too far?" Vincent was worried.
"Don't worry, you all," Eloise soothed them. "Philip thinks about resigning just about every Thursday and changing his mind again on Friday."
"Not this time," Philip looked serious once he went through the door. "I quit! Please explain to the childrens' parents I'm sorry, but this is final and I'm out!" he then stormed off, never going to tutor Eloise or anyone else ever again.
"Okay, yeah, I think we went too far." Eloise said, but then remembered of who Akito mentioned.
"Oh, you kids..." Nanny came to them.
"I'm sure it'll be okay," Eloise cheered herself up by rubbing Weenie's belly. "Philip's just been in an awful mood lately, but he'll be back..."
"You better hope so, young lady..." Nanny gently shut the door.
Estelle looked thoughtful a moment, then looked out the window. "Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to go to school like a normal kid."
"Sometimes I do too..." Akito shrugged.
Vincent looked out the window and saw a private school that was within a walking distance of the Plaza Hotel, he recognized it. "Hey, Jenny goes to that school!" he pointed.
"Cool!" Estelle cheered.
"Wait a minute, Akito, you remember; you mentioned Tech?" Eloise asked.
"Yeah." Akito said.
"How can we contact him and get him here?" Eloise asked.
"By using our futuristic bracelets and contact the team and open up a time portal with them." Akito said, referring to the futuristic bracelets.
"Hmm..." Eloise wasn't positive, she would love to meet Tech, but going to school would be a whole new experience for them. "Could we maybe try that another time?"
Nanny went to make a few phone calls.
"Don't you wanna meet Tech, Eloise?" Vincent asked.
"Yes, but there's something I'd really like to try, I want to go to a real school, don't tell Nanny though, I want to surprise her." Eloise informed.
"We promise." The Fudo siblings promised.
"I just think I should try this..." Eloise smiled.
"We'll go with you." Aktio and Estelle offered.
"Really?" Eloise looked delighted.
"Yeah, I know Vincent would like to go to that fancy school down the block." Akito teased.
Vincent gave him a glance, but agreed, maybe school would be good for him to try too.
