Story Notes:
The chapters in this story are in no way connected to each other, except for the fact that they are all inspired by song lyrics from "There's a river in the valley made of melting snow", by Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band, formerly The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-La-La Band, formerly A Silver Mt. Zion (ASMZ) and, at one point, The Silver Mountain Reveries. There will be 36 chapters, with none of them having more than 2000 words. Each will have its own topic, according to the individual titles. Each will have different characters and a different setting, in order to show just how many topics this song deals with. Speaking of which, in case you'd like to listen to it, you can find it on YouTube. I recommend this song; I've been listening to it for about three years now, and it just never gets old. There are so many things that come to my mind when listening to it, so now I'm trying to write them all down. Since the chapters are going to be really short, I think I'll be able to put a new one online every two days or so, depending on how much time I have. I know there are other projects I should be working on, but now I suddenly had this idea and I'd really like to see how it turns out. It's a bit hard to write stories that are so very short and still meaningful, but luckily they don't have to stand on their own, as they are mostly ways to interprete the song they are based on. Well, I hope I'll be able to update as often and as quickly as I am planning to, and I hope you'll enjoy reading and listening to "There's a river in the valley made of melting snow".
...with much red wine... and giddy yells...
PLEASE NOTE: I do not own Pokémon, and I have to say that I'm kind of proud of it, because the idea of capturing animal-like creatures to make them fight each other is pretty sick, actually. Be this as it may, every species of Pokémon referred to in the following text and everything else that is a part of the Pokémon franchise is the property of their rightful owner, however, the actual story belongs to me. The title belongs to Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band/ The Silver Mountain Reveries. No copyright infringement is intended.
Thank you.

Have you never heard that there's a river in the valley made of melting snow...?
...with much red wine... and giddy yells...
Jessica closed the door behind her and sighed in relief. She took off her shoes and her jacket and then entered the small living room. The TV was turned on. Lix was lying on the sofa that stood in front of it. He had fallen asleep, and his tail flame was hovering just a few centimeters above the floor. Jessica knew he could not accidentally set anything on fire with it, but such a sight still worried her. She cleared her throat rather loudly, which made the Charmeleon wake up. He raised his head, blinked, and then smiled as he noticed Jessica. His tail began swaying back and forth.
"I'm home," she said, although it was, of course, obvious. She then looked at the TV. There was some sort of quiz show going on. "You should really turn off the TV when you feel sleepy," she spoke. "I have you pay good money for that, you know." Lix had stood up on the sofa. Now his tail drooped and he lowered his gaze, apparently feeling guilty. It brought a smile to Jessica's face.
"Don't worry about it too much," she said while reaching inside her pocket. She pulled out a small key and threw it to the Charmeleon, who caught it in a swift motion. "Get everything ready, as usual," Jessica told him as she left the living room. "But don't start without me!" An affirmative "Charmeleon!" came in response.
Jessica took a shower and then put on her comfortable dark blue pajamas; after all, it was already evening. She then went into the kitchen and prepared the usual meal for her Charmeleon and herself. It consisted of nothing else than a bit of meat and some vegetables, so it was nothing special. Her long black hair was still a bit wet as she brought the two plates to the living room, where Lix had already prepared the rest.
On the table between the sofa and the TV there stood a large bottle and two wineglasses, which were already filled. Lix was sitting in his usual spot, watching Jessica as she placed their meals on the table. She sat down on the sofa next to her Charmeleon and they both lifted their glasses. The red wine was rather cheap, and would it not have been for the Charmeleon in her apartment, there would have been no reason for keeping it locked up.
They clinked glasses and smiled at each other.
"Now remember," Jessica said, "the first few glasses are supposed to be enjoyed." They both took a sip and savored the taste of the first wine of the day on their tongues. A deep, happy sigh came from Lix.
"Chaaaaarrr..." Jessica watched in light amusement as he leaned back and his smile broadened.
"You know," she chuckled, "I think we might have an addiction." Lix looked up at her and shrugged. They both took another sip, then put their glasses back on the table and began to eat. Luckily, the Charmeleon had learned how to eat with a fork and a knife a long time ago.
"Let's see what's on the news," Jessica said after some time of quiet eating and drinking. She changed the channel and sighed. "They're talking about the war again." She watched the images that were shown to her for a while and shook her head. "They really shouldn't use Pokémon to search for those mines." She lowered her gaze and saw that their glasses were empty. Jessica reached for the bottle and quickly refilled them. Lix immediately picked up his glass.
"Drink slowly," Jessica lectured. Lix nodded and, once again, just took a sip. They finished the last bites that were left on their plates and then the Charmeleon cuddled up to Jessica's side, like he always did. She put her arm around him to keep him close to her. They sat together on the sofa, holding their wineglasses while watching TV.
"There's always a war somewhere," Jessica remarked. "I don't even know where this one is happening, or why." As she looked at the Charmeleon next to her, she noticed that the glasses were empty again, so she reached for the bottle. "I would say that this war should stop as soon as possible," she continued, "but even if that were to happen, another one would just start up in its place, so..." her voice trailed off and she shook her head. She emptied half of her glass at once. "I'm tired of all that shit," she said. "Let's see what else is on." Jessica changed the channel, while Lix looked up at her and blinked slowly. Jessica saw that his glass was empty again, and she grinned.
"Someone who gets drunk as easily as you should take things a little slower," she stated. Lix shook his head.
"Char... Charmeleon!" Jessica knew what he was trying to say.
"Of course you're drunk," she said. "Don't deny it. Hey, what's that?" She had stopped zapping, and now they seemed to be showing some kind of report on fashion. Jessica drank some more wine and then refilled the glasses. She frowned. "Look at that damn bullshit," she spoke angrily, "and people get paid for it. I can't think of anything more useless than fashion, and they make their fucking money off it."
"Charme... meleon?" Jessica nodded.
"You don't have to worry about that. Pokémon don't need fashion. But we make it for you anyway. That's just fucking awful, have you ever seen how ridiculous a Pikachu looks when you make it wear a vest?" The glasses were empty again, and so was the bottle. "Oh... looks like we need another one." Lix nodded and hopped to the ground. He seemed to be a little weak on his legs, but managed to make it to the cupboard without too many problems. He took out another bottle and brought it back to Jessica.
"You're a sweetie," she said and smiled while gently patting his head. Jessica took the bottle from him and refilled their glasses while he jumped up on the sofa again and leaned against her side. They drank silently for a few moments, until Jessica pointed at the TV, which was now showing mannequins.
"Now look at those fucking whores," she spoke lowly. "You know, that's the problem when you're a woman. You can't be successful without being a fucking whore." Reaching for the remote control, she turned off the TV. "That's the reason why I'm living in this small fucking apartment," she continued, "because I still have my dignity. You have to choose. You can either keep your fucking dignity, or you can be rich and famous." She turned her head towards Lix, who was looking up at her with a somewhat dreamy smile on his face. Of course, his glass was empty again. "You're not even listening to me, are you?"
"Chaaaaaarrrrrr..." At first it seemed to Jessica like Lix just wanted to cuddle even closer to her side, but after a moment she noticed the very distinct motions of his hindquarters. She quickly pushed him off of her. He fell over on his back, and she noticed his halfway erect penis between his legs. She sighed deeply.
"How many fucking times do I have to tell you," she said in a tone that was much more tired than angry, "I won't let you fuck me. Why do you always have to get so horny when you're drunk?" The Charmeleon slowly sat up again and shook his head. His cheeks seemed to become a bit redder than before and he lowered his head.
"Charmeleon... Char Char", he said. Jessica carefully pulled him a bit closer to her again.
"It's alright, I forgive you," she mumbled. Jessica reached for the bottle and gave Lix' glass a refill. He immediately began to drink. "Have I ever told you about how I went to a party when I was still in school?" The Charmeleon looked up at her, apparently trying to understand her words for a moment. He then shook his head, and Jessica grinned. "All the guys thought they could get me drunk and fuck me. Well, too bad for them I don't get easy when I'm drunk. I just get fucking angry." She eyed up the Charmeleon and added: "And you get fucking horny. But don't worry, we can do something about that." Lix' gaze seemed to become a little clearer as she continued: "I can take you down to the Pokémon Center tomorrow and we'll find someone for you. There's always at least one little slut there who'd do it with anyone." Lix blinked, and a broad smile appeared on his face, which Jessica returned. "And if we can't find a good female," she continued while refilling their glasses once again, "You can still try your luck with one of those annoying nurses. I wonder what they'd do if we got them drunk enough." In a slightly higher tone, she spoke: "Yes, sir. I will take good care of your Pokémon, sir. While you're here, why not let me suck your dick, sir?" The Charmeleon laughed, which sounded like a mixture of snorting noises and hiccups. Both Jessica and Lix emptied their glasses at a swallow.
"Since you'll get off tomorrow, you won't need to do it yourself tonight," Jessica stated. Lix needed a moment to understand what she had said. He then blushed and turned his head to the side. "Oh, come on!" Jessica laughed. "Did you honestly think I didn't fucking know what you were doing? I'm the one who changes your fucking bed sheets every week, after all!" The Charmeleon seemed to feel increasingly uncomfortable, so she went on: "Hey, don't mind that too much now. What you need is more fucking wine. Wait, I'll... oh, looks like we need another one." Lix understood. He climbed to the ground and began staggering in the direction of the cupboard. Jessica stood up, too. However, she did not have any problems with walking, talking or thinking. Things did not change too much for her when she was drunk. All that happened was that she was not afraid to voice her thoughts anymore.
She went out on the balcony and looked at the city. Jessica lived on the fourteenth floor; the apartment was relatively cheap, since the elevator was usually out of order. In front of her eyes, she saw a dark sea of streets and buildings, with little spots of light everywhere.
"You're all just fucking whores!" she yelled loudly. "You have no fucking dignity! You sold your fucking dignity, all of you! You'd do everything with everyone, if they just paid you enough! You and your fucking greed, and your fucking money!" It actually made her feel a bit better about things to just scream at no one in particular. However, she quickly went back inside again, as she could clearly hear what Lix was doing.
When she sat down on the sofa once more, the Charmeleon had already emptied half of the bottle, as Jessica had expected. She took it from Lix, filled the glasses and drank.
"I may not have a lot of money," she spoke after a while, "but I still have my fucking dignity, and that's more than all those fucking whores can ever have. At least I can still look at myself in the fucking mirror. At least I... oh, looks like we need another one..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter End Notes:That is the end of this chapter. However, for some reason I really like those characters, so Jessica and Lix might actually get their own story one day. In any way, this chapter was a bit of an experiment for me, as I usually don't use that kind of language in my stories. But I suppose it is as they say: in vino veritas. Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter, and I'll try my best to get the next one out tomorrow. As usual, if you'd like to comment, please write a review or send an email to [email protected] . Thank you very much.
