1	An incredibly long, yet unfinished ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' fanfiction by [[http://crazynutbob.deviantart.com CrazyNutBob]] on deviantArt.
2
3	It follows a Cyndaquil, whose life starts out roughly, leaving her an angry and confused mess. When adopted and named "Cindy" by a naïve and quirky girl, chaos begins to follow them, as well as any other travelling partners they pick up (said travelling partners being related to the trainer).
4
5	Their band deals with an evil organization--''not'' Team Rocket--weird moments, forgotten memories, an unexpected revelation, and a demon Pokemon that has its eyes set on destruction of the human race and Pokemon enslavement (worse than any human's)!
6
7	They're going to need all the help they can get.
8
9	RuleOfCool and RuleOfFunny often apply, although it's no stranger to RuleOfDrama.

42	----
43	!!This fanfiction contains examples of:
44
45	* ABoyAndHisX: A Girl/Woman and Her Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion.
46	* AffirmativeActionGirl: It's quite often inverted, considering most of the main cast members are female. Guys have to be added to the group to provide more balance.
47	* ADayInTheLimelight: The focus throughout most of the story is on Cindy. However, some segments (and individual chapters) have focused on other characters:
48	** ''Demon Infection'' focuses on Ty.
49	** ''There's Something More'' focuses on Quinn.
50	** ''Innocence of Childhood'' is a series of oneshots focusing on different characters.
51	** ''Night Of the Red Moon'' has focus on Allison, Alexis, Shawn, [[spoiler:Ash Ketchum]], and some of their Pokémon.
52	** ''Reaching New Heights'' focuses on Charlie.
53	** [[spoiler:''Sombra'']] on the title character and Amber.
54	** ''Thunderuption'' focuses on Joey.
55	** ''Dirty Secrets'' focuses on Blaze and Ivy.
56	* AmazonBrigade: The five main Pokémon: Cindy, Cinnamon, Hailey, Trina, and Celebi.
57	* AscendedFridgeHorror: [[spoiler:Chapter 170 reveals that Ty was not the only one bitten by that Malonix, as Diana explains to Charlie that she ran into some infected Pokémon under a red moon, and only survived because she hid]].
58	** It goes one step further in ''Bittersweet Days'': [[spoiler:Some characters actually fight the Malonixed Pokemon, and they nearly get themselves killed while doing so]].
59	* AshFace: Early in the story, this was Alyssa, usually after ticking off Cindy.
60	* AttemptedRape: Isaac explains that a former teammate, Ivan, had tried to do this to Lindsay, Isaac's wife.
61	** It's implied that a gang's so-called 'activity' was this.
62	* AvengingTheVillain: [[spoiler:Asesina wants revenge on Cindy and Alyssa for Anonimo's death]].
63	* AwfulTruth: [[spoiler:Anonimo, Cindy's former trainer, is the leader of Team Vortex, and is in pursuit to reclaim his former Pokémon (who turned out to be a Semi-Legendary).]]
64	** [[spoiler:Ty is not cured of his Malonix virus, and it'll activate when he gazes at a Blood Moon or in a Malonix's eyes]].
65	** [[spoiler:Sombra is responsible for purple infernos breaking out in many cities, and thanks to genetic experimentation, is part Malonix]].
66	** [[spoiler:Dora and Bennett are [[TheMole Team Vortex spies]].]]
67	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: When Joey gets injured, Emma, who had been a massive jerk to him the entire time they knew each other, is immediately sorrowful and regrets her actions. The way she talks to his unconscious body and puts her paw on his while vowing to treat him better suggests that [[ShipTease she's developing feelings for him]].
68	* BadassCrew
69	* BadassFamily: [[spoiler:Jenna, Cindy, and Quinn]].
70	** [[spoiler:Cindy, Ty, the Quiltuplets, and the two sets of twins]].
71	** [[spoiler:Quinn, Jamie, and Mantle (and perhaps the triplets)]].
72	** [[spoiler:Charlie, Diana, Minnie, and Scales]].
73	* BadDate: [[spoiler:If your date getting kidnapped and you beaten to a pulp doesn't count, then I don't know what does.]]
74	* BadMoonRising: When the moon is red, that means there's trouble brewing.
75	** {{Lunacy}}: [[spoiler:Any Pokémon with a dormant Malonix virus turns into a bloodthirsty monster upon looking at it, the very action activating said virus]].
76	* BattleAmongstTheFlames: A [[TearJerker tear-jerking]] example happens between [[spoiler:Cindy in Blue Fire Frenzy and Malo!Ty]].
77	* BattleCouple: Cindy and Ty, [[spoiler:Quinn and Jamie, and Charlie and Diana]].
78	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Jenna pulls this to save an ill Cindy from the wrath of Anonimo and escape the base they're in]].
79	** Alyssa pulls this with her Blastoise and Jolteon when [[spoiler:Jenna and Cindy are exhausted and backed into a corner by a Team Vortex grunt trying to re-capture them after their escape]].
80	** [[spoiler:Both Joey and Cindy pull this in the some chapter; Joey does it to save Amber from Sombra's SuperpoweredEvilSide, and Cindy does it to save Joey from the same thing.]]
81	** [[spoiler:It happened again in Chapter 183]].
82	* BittersweetEnding: ''Shattered Spirit:'' Cindy is away from Anonimo and under the care of better humans, but Cindy's already broken down into a mess, and [[spoiler:proceeds to raze New Bark Town]]. Another bittersweet thing about it is that Cindy finally learns to ignite at will, but the trigger being her anger.
83	** ''Brother and Sister:'' [[spoiler:Quinn is an official member of the group, the ridiculous relationship of Buzz and Jamie is over, Pancho, Villa, and Dr. Tortilla are in jail... oh, and Cindy and Quinn's mother is still in Team Vortex's possession, with Cindy still wanting to meet her and Quinn missing her]].
84	** ''Sombra:'' [[spoiler:The eponymous character is a good guy! Wait... only Amber, Celebi, Mantle, Pelee, and Dynamite like him. Oh, and Team Vortex has returned and wants revenge]].
85	** ''Dirty Secrets:'' [[spoiler:Blaze has gone into Blue Fire Frenzy, destroyed a city, and is suffering from a HeroicBSOD. Team Vortex's plan succeeded and they're one step closer to the Ultimate Revenge. The upside? His siblings survive the attacks on them, and Blaze and Ivy mend their strained friendship]].
86	** ''Bittersweet Days:'' [[spoiler:New members of the family? Check. Everybody survived? Check. Cinnamon's daughter has a Malonix virus now? Check. Cindy ends up a sickly shell of her former self after a rough pregnancy that nearly killed her? Check. Smoky's blind and sent somewhere else for rehabilitation with his older brother Joey? Check. Ty's Malonix side getting stronger? Check. Dynamite's Malonix side becoming more active? Check]].
87	* BlessedWithSuck / CursedWithAwesome: [[spoiler:Being a Semi-Legendary]] manages to be both. On the one hand, a [[spoiler:Semi-Legendary]] is more powerful than normal, can communicate mentally with [[spoiler:their Legendary father]] (according to Kidd), and are the only Pokémon (save Benenix) that can combat the Malonix. On the other hand, their [[UnstoppableRage Power Rages]] (such as [[spoiler:Blue Fire Frenzy]]) are incredibly difficult to control, which tend to be very destructive, activated by anger, and doesn't discriminate. Later chapters state that the public's view on [[spoiler:Semis]] have soured, thanks to Anwir Malus' influence. [[spoiler:Blaze's Blue Fire Frenzy doesn't help the Semis' case]]. Cindy has outright stated that she ''hates'' being a [[spoiler:Semi-Legendary]].
88	** Another BlessedWithSuck example is a Malonix Virus. The power it gives a Pokémon helps it go toe to toe with [[spoiler:a Semi-Legendary]], but with a price: said Pokémon turns into a [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity bloodthirsty]] [[FaceMonsterTurn monster]].
89	* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler:Cindy coughs up blood in one scene, and manages to plead Sammy for help before she collapses]].
90	* BloodSplatteredInnocents: Alyssa comes running with a blood-soaked T-Shirt to announce [[spoiler:that Cindy had gone AxCrazy and started slaughtering innocent Pokémon just for bugging her about her dinner]].
91	* BloodierAndGorier: If the flogging scene in Chapter 6 wasn't your first clue, then perhaps some future scenes such as whenever something Malonix related comes up, especially [[spoiler:the field of blood in chapter 212]]. Luckily, it doesn't happen too often.
92	** "Bittersweet Days" is the bloodiest segment so far!
93	%%* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Cindy and Cinnamon, thanks to Team Vortex]].
94	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Celebi complains about a lack of foreshadowing for Anti-Explosion Spray.
95	%%* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Gender reversed in the form of Cindy and Ty.
96	%%** [[spoiler:Sombra and Amber]].
97	* BurningWithAnger: Cindy does this often. Cinnamon can do it too.
98	* [[spoiler:ButICantBePregnant: Cindy demands an answer from Ty about how pregnancy #3 happened, because Ty had to be fixed after Pelee and Dynamite were born and thus wasn't supposed to father any more offspring. Since both are faithful, they know he is in fact the father, and find it incredibly bizarre]].
99	* CallingTheOldManOut: Granted, Cindy couldn't do it herself, so Alyssa calls Anonimo out for the horrific abuse he heaped upon Cindy when she was just a baby:
100	-->'''Anonimo:''' Abuser? You think I'm an abuser? Quilava there brought it on herself! Ugh, what a drama queen.
101	-->'''Alyssa:''' That's quite an ego. And the Quilava's name is Cindy.
102	-->'''Anonimo:''' (laughs) Cindy? Cindy? Wow, girls come up with some of the most ridiculous nicknames! That's a little obvious, considering that she started out as a pathetic little Cyndaquil.
103	-->'''Alyssa:''' And she stayed pathetic under your command thanks to your "punishments."
104	-->'''Anonimo:''' Hey, I punished her because she was not only a terrible battler and a slacker, but a thief and a troublemaker!
105	-->'''Alyssa:''' Okay, troublemaker I agree with, but the other three, no. She's my strongest Pokémon! And no, she didn't rely on her heritage to help her win battles! In fact, neither of us knew she was a Semi-Legendary until a few years ago.
106	-->'''Anonimo:''' You don't know what you're talking about! I'm a better trainer than you'll ever be, Melissa!
107	-->'''Alyssa:''' It's ''A''lyssa. And why don't you prove it by battling me?
108	** And then, she sums it up nicely with:
109	--->'''Alyssa:''' He (Shawn) is disappointed by what you're doing, Anonimo. [[spoiler:Jenna]] here is disappointed! And I'm sure your older sister will be disappointed.
110	--->'''Anonimo:''' You don't know how my sister will react.
111	--->'''Alyssa:''' I've been told all about Kim, and she sounds like the type of person who would be against your actions.
112	* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Alyssa and Cindy, at first. Eventually, their relationship develops from constant fighting, to merely tolerating each other, to a budding friendship, and then finally to TrueCompanions.
113	* CatStereotype / DogStereotype: Played with. Cinnamon's a [[PlayingWithFire Fire Type]] Cat (fake) Pokémon known as Kittiember/Scorchcat/Firequeen, while Hailey is a [[MakingASplash Water Type]] Dog (fake) Pokémon called Whirlpup/Collisoak/Howliquid.
114	** Cinnamon is characterized as a GenkiGirl, while Hailey is a DeadpanSnarker. Basically, the opposite of their species stereotype. However, Hailey does have the playfulness and loyalty associated with dogs, and Cinnamon despises water (though it can be attributed to type; Cindy [a Cyndaquil] despises water as well), and tends to be a little curious. They didn't get along at first. Hailey will bite, Cinnamon will scratch; basically, they subvert the personalities for the most part, but still keep the behavioral cues of their species.
115	*** Though Hailey did [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments climb a tree once]].
116	%%* CatUpATree: Okay, this one's inverted; it was ''[[PreciousPuppy Hailey]]'' who climbed up a tree once!
117	%%** Played straight later on.
118	* CerebusSyndrome: After the few chapters in the beginning pertaining to Anonimo and his abuse of Cindy, the story was pretty lighthearted, and stayed so with the introduction of [[{{Adorkable}} Alyssa]], [[TeamMom Chelsea]], and [[CuteKitten Cinn]][[GenkiGirl amon]], who are all just children. However, once [[KnightOfCerebus Anonimo]] was brought back into the picture, things took a turn for the darker, even when [[PragmaticHero Allison]], [[DeadpanSnarker Hailey]], [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Celebi]], [[TagalongKid Alexis]], and [[TheDitz Trina]] joined the group. And then the Malonix showed up, and things kept getting darker as the girls grew older...
119	** CerebusRollerCoaster: That said, the series can fluctuate between LighterAndSofter and DarkerAndEdgier. The main factor is whether or not Team Vortex or the Malonix is involved in the story arc that you're reading.
120	* ChekhovsGun: That Fusion Stone, made up by the author just for giggles, is later used for serious situations.
121	** The Light Stone as well.
122	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: This exchange, while the group is looking for Cindy and Quinn:
123	-->'''Barbara and Mist:''' Guys, there's a blue light over there!
124	-->'''Celebi:''' Blue light?!
125	-->'''Cinnamon:''' Blue light?!
126	-->'''Trina:''' gasp Is it an alien?
127	-->'''Cinnamon:''' No, Trina, it's Cindy! Something terrible must have happened to make her extremely upset!
128	-->'''Trina:''' So Cindy's an alien?!
129	* ComingOfAgeStory: The first 100+ chapters (From the prologue of ''Shattered Spirit'' to the end of ''Prison'') are basically this for both Cindy and Alyssa. It's especially noticeable that the two grow up together (Alyssa's child to Cindy's Cyndaquil, teenager to Quilava, adult to Typhlosion).
130	** Later chapters have this as a subplot for [[spoiler:Cindy's offspring and their friends]]. Most of them end up growing up in the same manner as above.
131	* CooldownHug: Works on Cindy when [[spoiler:she goes Blue Fire Frenzy.]]
132	* TheCorruption: [[spoiler:Ty ends up being bitten by a Malonix, which led to him becoming a [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity downright nasty, bloodthirsty, and powerful]] creature.]] Don't worry, he got better. [[spoiler:For the most part...]]
133	* CrazyCatLady: This image appears in Hailey's head after [[spoiler:Pelee shouts "He's (Sombra) not with an evil cat lady!"]]
134	* CueTheFlyingPigs: That BigLippedAlligatorMoment with the two kids and the Slimeball Cheeseburger. The scene went as follows:
135	-->'''Chelsea:''' "Have you boys seen two Cyndaquil around here?"
136	--> boys too distracted by disgusting cheeseburger
137	-->'''Boy 1:''' "Do you seriously want me to eat that?"
138	-->'''Boy 2:''' "Of course! You don't expect me to eat the Slimeball Cheeseburger, do you?"
139	-->'''Chelsea:''' "Have you two seen two Cyndaquil? One has a red bandanna and a scar on its right arm!"
140	-->'''Boy 2:''' (ignoring Chelsea) "I dare you to eat it!" the one with the burger in his lap said.
141	-->'''Boy 1:''' (laughs) "When Cyndaquil fly!"
142	-->'''Chelsea:''' "That's what I'm asking you--"
143	-->'''Alyssa:''': "There they are!" (points to Cindy and Ash's Cyndaquil soaring in an arc above the trees)
144	-->'''Ash:''' "Come on! Let's go get them!"
145	-->group leaves, and Boy 1 takes a bite off the Slimeball Cheeseburger
146	* CurbStompBattle: Poor Cindy was on the receiving end of a string of these when she was a baby Cyndaquil. It didn't help that she was constantly punished with starvation and TrainingFromHell every time she lost. However, after she TookALevelInBadass, she dishes out her own on several opponents, a notable one being Sammy the Squirtle. [[http://fav.me/d3imdeh Here's a comic of another Curb Stomp, which is pretty funny]].
147	** While we're talking about Cindy's Curb Stomps, it would be wise to keep her from getting too angry, [[spoiler:otherwise you'll face a storm of blue flames with an AxCrazy Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion wielding them and ready to kill you]]. That was how Sammy lost (and would have been killed had Alyssa not intervened), and so did many other Pokémon unfortunate enough to face her in that state.
148	** [[spoiler:Blue Fire Frenzy is a Curb Stomping ''machine.'' Not only has Cindy mowed down opponents with it, but so have her kids (with Amber and Blaze doing it onscreen, and Copper described as doing such by his father).]]
149	** Sammy won a hilarious one when he blasts a Fryger (Fakemon) with Hydro Pump. Alyssa's yawn before she commanded the attack suggests that she saw it coming.
150	* CurseCutShort: ''"Shawn, that son of a--"''
151	* DarkerAndEdgier: The story is set in the world of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', if the appearance of Ash and his Pokémon are any indication. However, Alyssa and Cindy's adventures tend to be a bit more frightening, and a bit more mature. In fact, the fic's CerebusSyndrome could be attributed to the characters growing older and the demon Fakemon Malonix, which is responsible (directly or indirectly) for the deaths of many people and Pokémon.
152	* DatePeepers: Unlike most examples, [[spoiler:Cinnamon, Trina, Celebi, Ash's Bayleef, and Ash's Totodile]] spied on [[spoiler:Cindy and Ash's Quilava]] just to make sure the date goes smoothly. They jump in when things go wrong, and [[spoiler:Quilava]] is actually grateful for it!
153	* DeadlyNosebleed: Almost invoked on Hailey. [[spoiler:An AxCrazy Cindy threatened to squeeze all of Hailey's blood through her nose]]. Good thing Sammy was there to stop it.
154	* DidntThinkThisThrough:
155	** Emma, [[spoiler:punching Blaze in Blue Fire Frenzy during a window in which we can reason with him]] is a very, very stupid idea. Cindy was right in calling you an idiot.
156	** From early in the story: Yeah, sure, giving a hostile Pokemon to a ten-year-old beginning trainer is a wonderful idea!
157	* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Jenna, Cindy, and Quinn, at different points in the story.]] Must run in the family.
158	* DisproportionateRetribution: Anonimo punishes Cindy for losing a battle by tying her to a tree and starving her. Oh, and when she pushed him (even if it was to save his life)? Well, that's the story of how Cindy got her scar...
159	** He even tried to shoot Alyssa for standing up to him.
160	** [[spoiler:His wife]], Asesina believes that Cindy [[spoiler:killed Anonimo in a fit of rage]] "over a stupid scar." In reality, [[spoiler:Alyssa had stopped Cindy from killing him, though that did nothing to stop Anonimo's attempts to murder the former. When he tried dragging Alyssa off of a cliff into the ocean, Cindy retaliated by pushing him off and making him let go of her trainer with a single flamethrower, thus dooming him as a Gyarados' meal. Cindy was only being protective of her trainer, and was completely unconcerned with her scar while she committed the act]]!
161	** [[spoiler:In ''Bittersweet Days,'' a Malo-Infected Cindy begins to gruesomely tear up and eat wild Pokémon because they kept bugging her about what she was having for dinner. Needless to say, it was offscreen, save for the end bit with the pile of bones and the blood-soaked grass.]]
162	* {{Expy}}: Kidd the Umbreon is obviously based on [[Manga/SoulEater Death the Kid.]]
163	** The Alchemutts are blatant expies of the [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Elric Brothers.]]
164	* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: You wouldn't think that an author whose artwork is in a cute style and usually drawn for comedy could write a story with such shocking moments such as:
165	** The brutal beating of a baby Pokemon.
166	** Accounts of Fire Type Pokemon actively burning down cities and attacking innocents.
167	** Demon Pokemon biting characters and turning them into monsters.
168	** A heroic character killing an Electabuzz by ''twisting its head.''
169	** And so much more. This fic strangely straddles the line between this trope and slapstick.
170	* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Imagine being stuck inside a Pokeball while it was buried in the ground. Imagine that you've suffered the worst beating of your life, complete with bruises, broken bones, and ''heavy bleeding.'' [[AndIMustScream Imagine yourself unable to heal, yet also unable to die. And this goes on for several months!]] This is thanks to your master, who you loyally served. No wonder Cindy despised being in a Pokeball]]...
171	* FictionalSport: No, we're not talking Pokémon battles, that was obvious from the start. However, another sport had been invented just for the story: Tripyra. Basically, in teams of three, Pokémon fight on a four-level pyramid (with a fifth level just for the referees), each in their own zone, while receiving commands from their trainers through headpieces that both wear. Pokémon can only climb levels at certain intervals (marked by a trick wire on the edge of each level changing colors), while attacking their opponent (which may or may not be on the same level depending on if they climbed at the right moment), in spurts of their attacks. The Pokémon on the highest level when time's up wins the round for their team. A different Pokémon has to be used each round, and the three Pokémon have to be different types from each other.
172	* FingerLickingEvil: In the "Bittersweet Days" segment, [[spoiler:Cindy licks blood off her claws every time she claws someone in a sexually-transmitted-[=MaloVirus=]-related rage]]. It's undeniably ''creepy'' each time it happens.
173	* {{Foil}}: Plenty in this series:
174	** BrokenBird Cindy and GenkiGirl Cinnamon.
175	** Cindy also serves as a foil to NiceGuy Ty, {{Cloudcuckoolander}} Celebi, Trina TheDitz, and her {{Adorkable}} trainer, Alyssa.
176	** And [[CheerfulChild cheerful]] Fire Cat Cinnamon is a foil to the [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] Water Dog Hailey.
177	** Alyssa and Anonimo.
178	** [[spoiler: JerkWithAHeartOfGold Sombra and PluckyGirl Amber]].
179	* FourGirlEnsemble: Although it should be pointed out that none of them are ''ever'' described as sexy!
180	** CheerfulChild--Alexis
181	** TheSmartGuy--Allison
182	** TeamMom--Chelsea
183	** The Somewhat {{Tomboy}}--Alyssa
184	** Alternately, we have their beginning Pokémon:
185	*** {{Tomboy}}--Cindy
186	*** TheDitz--Trina
187	*** GenkiGirl--Cinnamon
188	*** DeadpanSnarker--Hailey
189	* FusionDance: Cindy and Cinnamon ended up fusing once, and it was PlayedForLaughs.
190	** [[spoiler: Quinn and Charlie fused twice so far, both in serious situations.]]
191	* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Although the story tends to [[GoshDarnItToHeck avoid foul language]] and explicit sexual content, there's still these moments:
192	** And just what were Cindy and Ty doing when they were [[NoodleIncident snowed in that cave?]] [[spoiler:Here's a hint: Cindy ends up pregnant]].
193	** Jamie's tail wraps around Quinn... and Jamie smacks it, telling it to stop.
194	*** Same thing happens with Mantle later on.
195	** Joey learns where babies come from the hard way...
196	** [[spoiler:Poor Amber. Having to explain the birds and the bees to Sombra, who by all accounts, is the Pokémon equivalent of a ''teenager'']]!
197	** And then there's this exchange:
198	--->[[spoiler:'''Dino:''' They (snowball fights) are described with the "F" word!]]
199	--->[[spoiler:'''Sombra:''' Kid, Amber says that kind of language is inappropriate.]]
200	--->[[spoiler:'''Dino:''' (in tears) You mean I'm not allowed to say "fun" or "fantastic" anymore?]]
201	--->[[spoiler:'''Amber:''' He thought you meant a different word, Dino.]]
202	** And then, the story of Ivan, who had been cheating on his wife, and tried to ''rape'' Lindsay!
203	** There's also the repeatedly mentioned "activity" that the gang pokemon wanted to get up to with Cindy.....
204	** Lest we forget Team Vortex's scheme for [[spoiler:the tenth "torchbearer" (who has to be a descendant of Cindy) to be born]]. And since it's believed that [[spoiler:Cindy's unable to bear anymore offspring]], they're planning on [[spoiler:one of her daughters providing "number ten"]]. Let the implications sink in.
205	* GoodIsNotSoft: Proven time and time again.
206	* GoshDarnItToHeck: Due to the author's stance on language, there is not a single swear word in the ENTIRE story, only characters mentioned to be cursing.
207	* {{Hammerspace}}: Where Trina gets a mirror to slam on people, where Cindy pulls popcorn from, and where Celebi pulls out just about anything.
208	** Cinnamon got the mirror first!
209	* HardHead: Played straight a lot, mostly because those receiving the blows are Pokémon.
210	* HarmlessElectrocution: The Electrical Mind Control. Worst that happens is that the Pokémon is zapped, a button is pushed, and said Pokémon is BrainwashedAndCrazy.
211	** While the lightning that struck Cindy isn't all that harmless, it's still miraculous that she had even survived at all, considering her condition at the time.
212	* {{Hellfire}}: Basically what a Fire Type Pokémon bitten by a Malonix breathes.
213	* HollywoodFire: Why hasn't Blue Fire Frenzy killed anyone onscreen yet?
214	* HorrorHunger: [[spoiler:Infected with a sexually-transmitted Malonix Virus, Cindy once went berserk and ate a crowd of Pokémon bugging her about her dinner. Right in front of Alyssa]].
215	* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: [[spoiler:Alyssa stops Cindy from killing Anonimo with a variation of this.]]
216	* InTheBack: [[spoiler:Belico the Jigglypuff jumps Willie from behind and plunges his sword into the Quilava's back. Don't worry, Willie gets better]].
217	** [[spoiler:A Malonixed Fearow runs its beak into Charlie's back]].
218	* InstantDeathBullet: [[spoiler:Averted in the case of Jenna; subverted in the case of Copper. Both were very close to death, though, but they survived (note that this was two separate occasions)]].
219	* InstantSedation: Spray n' Scape. Every freaking time it appears!
220	* ItsAllMyFault: Cindy blames herself for attracting the attention of Anonimo and Team Vortex and continuously putting her friends in danger. She even considers running away at one point.
221	** Ty blames himself for [[spoiler:every Malonix-related mishap, because he not only was he bitten, but he also killed the Malonix that bit him, sealing its virus inside him until who-knows-when]]. It's especially prevalent when [[spoiler:a pregnant Cindy grows more bloodthirsty and aggressive due to a Malo-STI, which is also implied to be killing her from the inside]].
222	** Ivy, who blames herself for [[spoiler:Blaze going BFF and attacking a city]].
223	** Copper, who blames himself for [[spoiler:Nutmeg receiving a Malonix virus]]. Willie tries to alleviate it by sharing the blame.
224	* {{Jerkass}}: Buzz the Pachirisu. He has a massive ego, treated Jamie like a [[TrophyWife trophy girlfriend]] and throws insults at just about EVERYONE! Cindy would have torn him up if she wasn't held back.
225	* KickTheDog: In Anonimo's case, we have Kick the Cyndaquil and various other activities.
226	* KnockoutGas: The convenient one in a can: ''Spray n' Scape!''
227	* LecherousLicking: [[spoiler:Bennett]] licks Emma, which ends up paralyzing her.
228	* LoveAtFirstSight: Perhaps this happened [[spoiler:to Ash's Cyndaquil when he first meets Cindy]].
229	** LoveAtFirstPunch: [[spoiler:The poor little guy gets ''slapped'' after making an InnocentlyInsensitive comment about her]].
230	* LukeYouAreMyFather: [[spoiler:While a captive of Anonimo, Cindy figures out that Jenna's her mother before Jen realizes it herself. Cindy ends up calling her "Mom" when she's about to be put in vigorous training while ill]].
231	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Alyssa seems to handle being burnt just fine early in the story. Despite Cindy being a [[spoiler:Semi-Legendary]] and thus more powerful than others of her kind...
232	** Horrifying example later on: [[spoiler:Jamie smacks a Malonixed Ty with her tail hard enough to ''snap his neck.'' He merely pops it back into place and continues fighting the ensemble (of his allies, no less) against him]].
233	* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Cindy, and [[spoiler:Ash's Cyndaquil]].
234	** [[spoiler:Diana and Charlie]].
235	* [[spoiler:MassiveNumberedSiblings]]: [[spoiler:The Quiltuplets (quintuplets) + two sets of twins = nine kids for Cindy and Ty]].
236	* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Somebody throws a snowball at Trina's chest? She goes into dramatic dying mode...
237	* {{Mons}}: DUH!!!
238	* MoodWhiplash: ''And plenty of it.''
239	** Chapter 3 starts out fun, then whips to a sudden battle, then whips again to a calm mood, and then BAM! The kick in the gut signals the beginning of the abuse...
240	** Chapter 13 starts out comedic... then falls into the sad category, and then turns scary as Cindy tries to ''kill'' Alyssa!
241	** Chapter 35 starts off with a calm training montage, only to suddenly turn into a nightmare.
242	** Chapter 67 went from a hilarious door montage to [[spoiler:Quinn finding out his mother is gone and a Simitar breaking his leg]].
243	** Chapter 155 goes from calm to absolutely ''terrifying.''
244	** Chapter 158 goes from serious battle mode, to silly, to creepy, and finally to pure horror.
245	** Chapter 167 goes from funny to pretty sad.
246	** Chapter 170 goes from a sense of freedom to a case of AscendedFridgeHorror.
247	** Chapter 178 goes from a romantic feeling to a sense of dread.
248	*** Also, [[spoiler:Sombra's]] random "I pick my nose!" exclamation to [[spoiler:his SuperpoweredEvilSide taking over]].
249	** And Chapter 179... from a frightening battle to a heartbreaking moment.
250	* MundaneMadeAwesome: Charlie made skipping stones cooler than it should have been.
251	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Cindy, nearly every time she [[spoiler:goes Blue Fire Frenzy]] or loses her temper in a manner that harms. The worst has to be when [[spoiler:under the influence of a sexually-transmitted Malonix virus, she brutally slaughters innocent wild Pokémon]].
252	** Ty as well, after [[spoiler:falling under the control of the Malonix virus and nearly killing Cindy. He also gets one after killing the Malonix that bit him, which is HarsherInHindsight when he learns that it doesn't cure him; it just makes the virus dormant until activated by a red moon]].
253	** Blaze [[spoiler:after his BFF]].
254	** [[spoiler:Sombra after letting his SuperpoweredEvilSide manifest in front of Amber and nearly kill her (as well as Joey)]].
255	* MythArc: Cindy overcoming her DarkAndTroubledPast, learning to make friends, and [[spoiler:struggling with the [[BlessedWithSuck blessings]] and [[CursedWithAwesome curses]] that come with being a Semi-Legendary]]. Not to mention fighting off Team Vortex and finding a way to stop the Malonix from overtaking various characters.
256	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Alyssa and Trina are at fault for releasing the first Malonix from an other-dimensional prison, and now, because of them, portals will open at random, in random places, and at any time. Had they not been so negligent, [[spoiler:Ty wouldn't have been bitten]].
257	** Copper [[NoKillLikeOverkill kills]] a Malonixed Electabuzz. What happens next is [[spoiler:the virus (manifested as an evil spirit), tries to transfer into him. It doesn't; his LoveInterest Nutmeg pushes him out of the way and takes the virus]].
258	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:Default mode of Blue Fire Frenzy.]]
259	** Special mentions goes to Anonimo to a baby Pokémon.
260	** Another special mention: [[spoiler:Malo!Ty on Cindy.]]
261	** And yet another special mention: [[spoiler:Sombra on Amber and Joey.]]
262	** Can we say [[spoiler:Cindy on Sombra, and then the other way around]]?
263	* NoKillLikeOverkill: Copper breaks the neck of a Malonixed Electabuzz. Um... okay. Then when it [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction begins to stir]], he begins to ''twist'' it. The neck is described as looking like a rope by the time he's done. BewareTheQuietOnes, indeed...
264	* NonFatalExplosions: A couple of times.
265	* NonSequiturThud: After getting shoved headfirst into a wall by a Camerupt:
266	-->'''Feraligatr:''' Don't worry ladies and gentlemen... the wall did the most damage... part of a complete breakfast... hey, that moon's red...
267	** Although the trope is subverted with the "red moon" line...
268	* NoodleImplements: Joey nearly killed his teammates with an angry Onix, a bulldozer, and a pair of chopsticks.
269	* NoodleIncident: Apparently, Chelsea and Alexis got kidnapped by ''trees...''
270	* NotHimself: One arc had [[NiceGuy Ty]] become more aggressive than he usually was [[spoiler:because a Malonix bit him]].
271	* OhCrap: Pretty much anyone who's ever seen [[spoiler:Blue Fire Frenzy.]]
272	** How about a fight with [[spoiler:blue ''and'' purple flames]]? This is the girls' reaction to that event.
273	** [[spoiler:Sombra, considering he's burned multiple cities to the ground]]...
274	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Normal Ty, a NiceGuy who is not much for small talk outside his family; if he's ''mean,'' you know something's wrong. [[spoiler: One of the symptoms of the Malonix bite]].
275	** Usually in a group battle, Trina is usually an advocate of no mercy, especially if it's a Malonixed Pokémon. However, the one time she was begging for a Pokémon to be spared [[spoiler:was when Copper was about to kill a Malonixed Electabuzz; Trina ''knew'' that when a Malonixed Pokémon was killed, the virus just transfers itself into a new host]]. Unfortunately, she wasn't listened to, probably because those around her thought she was talking nonsense like she always does.
276	* OppositesAttract: [[spoiler:[[{{Tsundere}} Cindy]] and [[TheQuietOne Ty]]]].
277	** [[spoiler:[[PluckyGirl Amber]] and [[TheAtoner Sombra]] are showing signs of this]].
278	** [[spoiler:[[WideEyedIdealist Charlie]] and [[DrillSergeantNasty Diana]]]].
279	* [[PersonOfMassDestruction Pokémon of Mass Destruction]]: [[spoiler:Semi-Legendaries. Think about it; they're the product of a Legendary (father) and a normal Pokémon (mother) mating. They get momma's looks, and daddy's extremely powerful potential]]...
280	** Getting into specifics, barring the Legendaries and [[spoiler:Semi-Legendaries]], we have [[spoiler:Sombra]].
281	* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler:Semi- and Quarter-Legendaries have difficulty controlling their Power Rages (the one always shown is Blue Fire Frenzy). Cindy, who had lapsed into it over ten times in fits of anger, is still unable to control it]].
282	* ThePowerOfFriendship: How Cindy [[DefrostingIceQueen softens up]] [[CharacterDevelopment throughout the story]].
283	* ThePowerOfLove: A major theme throughout the story: whether it be platonic, familial, or romantic, love has to power to [[spoiler:stop Blue Fire Frenzy]] or [[spoiler:defy Malonix instincts, whether they're received by a bite or an experiment]].
284	* PurpleIsPowerful: Purple fire is pretty dang powerful. [[spoiler:With it, Malo!Ty was able to go toe-to-toe against Cindy, who was in ''Blue Fire Frenzy.'' And he won!]]
285	* RageBreakingPoint: Alyssa put up with Cindy's brattiness and frequent Flamethrowers, but she still tried to befriend the Cyndaquil. She snaps once Cindy takes her anger out on a Squirtle who stepped in the way of [[spoiler:a Blue Fire Frenzy]] rampage meant to harm the trainer. Needless to say, Alyssa was downright nasty when she gave Cindy TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
286	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: For the first few chapters of Alyssa and Cindy's journey, Cindy treats Alyssa rather terribly, while Alyssa's trying to be nice to her. Then, Cindy loses her temper, [[spoiler:goes Blue Fire Frenzy]] and harms a Pokemon in the way. Cue Alyssa losing her temper.
287	--> '''Alyssa:''' [[FullNameBasis Cyndaquil]], it's bad enough that you attacked me, but you had to go and attack another Pokemon! Just because it decided to defend me? This whole time, I've been trying to be your friend! But what do you do?! You burn me repeatedly, ignore everything I say, and get mad at me for the dumbest reasons! I've been holding in most of my anger this whole time, trying to be nice! And now, you attack me, with your fancy blue flames, and when a Squirtle decides to help me, you turn on him and nearly kill him! What kind of Cyndaquil are you if you get angrier than a....a...... TYPHLOSION?!!! Agh, or maybe even a Gyarados for all I know! If you don't want me as a trainer, fine! I don't want a murderer for a Pokémon anyway! Just don't hurt anyone else in your monstrous fury!
288	** She also had the guts to pull one on Anonimo! The dude didn't take it well...
289	** Alyssa's the queen of this trope. She recently pulled another one on [[spoiler:Pelee and Dynamite]].
290	** Charlie has given one to Diana, after finally snapping under her DrillSergeantNasty routine and rude mannerisms toward everybody.
291	** [[spoiler:Amber gives Sombra a really nasty one after his Malonix half took over and injured both her and her brother, Joey.]]
292	* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:When brainwashed, both Cindy and Cinnamon gain glowing red eyes.]]
293	** Averted most of the time, since a lot of Pokemon species naturally have red eyes.
294	** [[spoiler: Played straight with Sombra, whose eyes are usually purple. Once they start glowing red, you're screwed]].
295	* RefugeInAudacity: Amber invokes this when telling Emma [[spoiler:how Sombra ended up with black and gray fur]].
296	-->'''Emma:''' I was just about to ask why [[spoiler:his fur is that color]].\
297	'''Amber:''' Not again... [[spoiler:A science experiment made him part demon, and it darkened his fur.]]\
298	'''Emma:''' stares That's a load of bull hockey. Just saying [[spoiler:‘it was a mutation’]] makes a lot more sense than that!
299	* RelativeButton: Just about EVERY CHARACTER.
300	* ReplacementGoldfish: Subverted. [[spoiler:Dr. Tortilla, as part of his KickTheDog moment, calls Quinn (who's just barely hanging onto life at that point) Jenna's ReplacementGoldfish for Cindy, who Jenna had believed to have died, but is actually standing right there and believing her brother's dead. Dr. Tortilla kicked even harder by saying he was worth less because he wasn't a Semi-Legendary like his sister. Didn't matter whether or not what he said was true; Cindy's still very ticked off that he'd say that about Quinn, and proceeds to go BFF on him]].
301	* RingOfFire: This was a signal (to Anonimo and Alyssa) that not only was Cindy [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry ticked off]], but she was ready to invoke [[spoiler:a joint evolution/Blue Fire Frenzy]]. And it was such a sweet start of a comeuppance for the villain hat everyone hates...
302	* RunningGag: The Beedrill that won't leave Celebi alone.
303	** ''"Why is Spray n' Scape always used for evil?"''
304	** Cindy stepping on the same Simari/Simitar at least once per evolved form.
305	** Sir Cuddly Boo.
306	** "Who gives a Igglybuff/Jigglypuff a sword?"
307	* [[spoiler:SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Sombra and Amber.]]
308	* ScarsAreForever: Apparently, they can resist evolution, as Cindy went through two of them, and yet the scar on her arm didn't fade very much. And oddly enough, her fur doesn't cover it, especially when it's shaggy Typhlosion fur...
309	** Patch, since he can't grow back a lost eye.
310	** Joey and Willie also ended up with scars: Joey on his shoulder, protecting Pokémon from their abusive trainers; and Willie on his back, from [[spoiler:Belico the Jigglypuff jumping on him and stabbing him from behind]].
311	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Charlie and Quinn.
312	** Ty and Feraligatr
313	** [[spoiler: [[TheQuietOne Copper]] and [[TheLeader Joey]]]].
314	** [[spoiler: [[NeatFreak Willie]] and [[ThePigPen Blaze]]]].
315	* ShipperOnDeck: Apparently, [[spoiler: Cindy/Ty]] has fans in friends of the couple.
316	** Also, Trina and Charlie ship Quinn and Jamie.
317	** And Celebi... you just know that whatever she ships, it's going to happen.
318	* ShoutOut: Several:
319	** Chapters 9 and 10 are reminiscent of the first episode of the ''Pokemon'' anime.
320	** Alyssa and Cindy's bonding scene is similar to Hiccup and Toothless' bonding scene in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon.''
321	** While Trina's [[ItMakesSenseInContext battling a Ditto impersonating her]], Cinnamon asks them what Trina's favorite color is. Cue ''Creator/MontyPython'' reference.
322	** The [[spoiler:Explosive Blood Serum]] is a reference to ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003''.
323	** The Century Golden Lights scene is a shout-out to ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}.''
324	** Charlie's training in the later chapters included 'wing push-ups,' which was used in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic.''
325	** ''[[Film/TheSoundOfMusic The hills are aliiivvee....]]."
326	* SnowMeansLove: ''A snowball fight'' has [[spoiler:Quinn]] see [[spoiler:Jamie]] in a new light.
327	* TheStoic: Kidd, except when it comes to something lopsided. [[{{Expy}} I won]][[Manga/SoulEater der why...]]
328	* [[spoiler:SurprisePregnancy: All of Cindy's pregnancies were surprises, but none moreso than the third, due to the sheer fact that the humans had Ty fixed. Unfortunately, his Malonix virus regenerated his sexual organs, thus allowing him to father more offspring (much to everyone's dismay; the babies inherit a Malonix virus)]].
329	* SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: Granted, when she started, the author warned about Anonimo's infamous abuse. But other than that, it seemed like the series would go the normal Pokémon way, being a story about a Cyndaquil and her trainer learning to get along, battle in Gyms, compete in the Pokémon League, etc. However, she never warned about [[spoiler:Blue Fire Frenzy]], Team Vortex, and the Malonix with all the ridiculously creepy problems that came with it, like turning Pokémon AxeCrazy, whether their virus or whatnot is given to them by way of bite, scientific experimentation, or mating.
330	* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:After Copper kills a Malonixed Electabuzz, Nutmeg has to shove him out of the way so the spirit virus doesn't get him, thus getting infected herself]].
331	* TalkingWithSigns: [[spoiler:Ash's Totodile]] does this for most of one section. His reason why is just... ridiculous.
332	* TapOnTheHead: Played with. Usually the HardHead trope is played straight, and any brain damage is usually fixed by Celebi. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Joey and Amber didn't have Celebi around to fix their heads when they both received brain injuries. The damage done hasn't been explored very much though, only Joey's eyesight and Amber being a little uptight]].
333	* TechnicolorEyes: [[spoiler:A Malonixed Pokemon's eyes are purple. Also, they're the color of Sombra's eyes.]]
334	* TechnicolorFire: [[spoiler:Legendaries and Semi-Legendaries' fire can turn blue, often accompanied by a major power-up. Also, in a more evil example, Malonixed Fire-Types' fire is purple.]]
335	* TimeSkip: Happens between situations.
336	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Cindy and Cinnamon. [[http://fav.me/d4pz0sf Their accessories say it all.]]
337	** To a lesser extent, their trainers, Alyssa(Cindy's trainer) and Chelsea(Cinnamon's Trainer).
338	** [[CoolBigSis Amber's]] tomboy to her sister [[BrattyTeenageDaughter Pelee's]] girly-girl.
339	** Mary's tomboy to Tiffany's girly-girl.
340	** Emma and Sunshine (a Sunflora).
341	** Ivy and Bella.
342	* TranslationConvention: Pokémon speak is, more often than not, translated for the (obviously human) reader. When humans are present, the Pokémon speak is usually rendered in italics. Needless to say, without the TranslatorCollar mentioned below, the humans cannot understand a word that the Pokémon say.
343	** There are some chapters where it was the ''human'' speech rendered in italics!
344	* TranslatorCollar: Shawn has made these. However, something went wrong, so instead of Pokémon wearing them so that they could converse with humans, the ''humans'' have to wear them to converse with Pokémon! Only the four main human girls (Alyssa, Chelsea, Allison, and Alexis) have them as of Chapter 93.
345	* TroubleFromThePast: A single character case with Cindy. She thinks that her past with Anonimo is behind her, and had a good three-year run with Alyssa--and then a Team Vortex scientist informs their leader, Anonimo, that the Cyndaquil he formerly owned was [[spoiler:a Semi-Legendary]]. Needless to say, Team Vortex tracks the girls down and begin to cause trouble.
346	** And then later, Team Vortex has been dismantled, and Cindy begins her new life as a Typhlosion. A few years later, a holdout attacks the group, announces that they have an Ultimate Revenge for her, and begins even more trouble for the characters.
347	** Think that Malonix problem was solved in that three-chapter arc? ''Demon Infection'' proves this is not the case.
348	* UhOhEyes: Other than the examples already mentioned, there is one other example. If a character gets angry, and gains blue eyes with red pupils, RUN. [[spoiler:It's Blue Fire Frenzy.]]
349	* UnnecessaryRoughness: Patch does this to an opponent when [[BerserkButton he got punched in the left eye socket]], which is where his eyepatch covers. He gets called foul on it.
350	* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler:Blue Fire Frenzy]]. The main reason why you don't want to get a [[spoiler:Fire Type Semi-Legendary]] angry.
351	* VillainousBreakdown: So, Anonimo, ready to accept your fate in jail? No? You'll just try to kill the girl who [[spoiler:stopped her Typhlosion from ''killing you'', just to obtain said Pokemon]]? [[SarcasmMode That'll work out.]]
352	* TheVirus: Interesting case with the Malonix infection; while bitten humans spread it by becoming Malonix themselves, Pokémon cannot, instead being absolutely vicious.
353	** ViralTransformation: As mentioned, bitten humans, and to a lesser extent, bitten Pokémon.
354	* VocalDissonance: [[spoiler:The reason Totodile was mute for several chapters; his vocal chords weren't crushed, he just sounds like a girl!]]
355	* [[spoiler:WackyCravings: When Cindy is pregnant, she takes a can of baby formula off the shelf in a grocery store, and eats it]]. HilarityEnsues when Alyssa catches her doing it.
356	* WeirdnessMagnet: Who do you think?
357	* WhamEpisode: Where to begin...?

377	** Chapter 170, [[spoiler:Ty wasn't the only one that was bitten by that Malonix]].
378	** The entirety of [[spoiler:"Sombra", where the Quiltuplets return, meet new siblings Pelee and Dynamite, and new cousin Mantle, as well as the unwelcome Sombra. Sombra commits a HeelFaceTurn when he makes friends with Amber (thanks to Celebi). Team Vortex in revealed to have returned and want revenge on Cindy and Alyssa for Anonimo's death]].
379	** "Dirty Secrets". [[spoiler:The torches required to activate the Ultimate Revenge are activated by Blue Fire Frenzy, as their trickery of Blaze into doing it proves]].
380	** "Bittersweet Days," [[spoiler:Ty's Malonix virus regenerates his sexual organs after he's "fixed", and affects Cindy when they mate, as proven by the shocking behavior that she displays during her third pregnancy]]. Mantle evolves, and Copper kills a Malonixed Electabuzz, [[spoiler:whose virus transfers into Nutmeg]]. And then, [[spoiler:Chelsea's Light Stone is smashed]].
381	* WhamLine: Here's a list:
382	** Chapter 2, when baby Cindy is left sleeping on a bush:
383	--->[[spoiler:'''Entei''']]: ''Farewell, my daughter...''
384	** Chapter 13, when Cindy is misbehaving yet again,
385	--->[[spoiler:'''Brock''']]: Did you notice that scar on her right arm within the past two weeks?
386	** Chapter 28, when talking to Anonimo:
387	---> '''Team Vortex Scientist:''' When I scanned the blood on your whip, it revealed that the little Cyndaquil [[spoiler:was a Semi-Legendary]].
388	** Chapter 39
389	--->'''[[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Magic Box]]:''' ''(to Cinnamon)'' Like Cyndaquil, [[spoiler:half of your blood is Legendary]].

394	** Chapter 69, Cindy refuses to go with Team Vortex:
395	--->'''Dr. Tortilla:''' Tell Bolton to kill the [[spoiler:Cyndaquil (her brother, Quinn)]].
396	** Chapter 77, after an argument with Chelsea:
397	--->'''Vibora:''' Asesina, Vispera. I've located them. Be prepared to attack. They're not to be underestimated.
398	** Chapter 84, when they first meet Shawn:
399	--->'''Alyssa:''' What kinds of sick, twisted minds do these people have? And whose idea was Team Vortex anyway?\
400	'''Shawn:''' My father's.
401	** Chapter 90
402	--->'''Anonimo:''' So... have you finished our [[spoiler:Explosive Blood Serum]]?
403	** Chapter 114, Cindy telling Cinnamon [[spoiler:about her pregnancy]].
404	--->'''Cindy:''' [[spoiler:It's a set of quintuplets]].
