I could only kill and watch on.
I am named Ace Trainer Lucy. I'm supposed to have no feelings. A puppet for the grandmaster to control, but a while back, this incredibly powerful trainer defeated me, and little by little, I've come to have feelings. And this trainer… He left me with only a handful of words and a small smile.
"You're not the only one who's been defeated by me. So don't wallow in your defeat or anything," He tipped his cap and left, a small smile of victory on his face. My emotionless heart felt it's first feeling right then. I felt very hot, and all the sudden I wanted to cry and punch that boy in the face. Then I felt warmth spread through my body, and the only thing I wanted to do was see him again and talk to him as me. He had unlocked me, after all.
My set personality is that of a cocky, happy, hyper girl, who is over-confident in herself. My normal partner, Ace Trainer Ryan, who was being edited by the grandmaster, is a boy who aspires to being famous, and wants all the eyes in the room on him, from the moment he walks in, to the second he leaves. Or at least, that's what his set personality is.
I know that I'm truly a shy girl who doesn't know who she is, is really quite dark, and wants to know more about other people and also wishes to be free from her twisted, demented fate. I have seen many players' love, get angry, cry, smile, be born, grow old together. I'm immortal, so I've never felt that.
Not that I've ever felt anything but empty and small, ever since I was created. I was born to look around 17 as a very pretty girl. The clothes I'm wearing right now were the clothes I was born in. I've never left this place where I stand. I've never been able to control my motions or my voice. But now… I can.
"Calling Ace Trainer Lucy to Control room, repeat, calling Ace Trainer Lucy to Control room," I heard the caller in my head. She stood beside the grandmaster at all times, his personal assistant. But what could the grandmaster want with me? I sighed and clicked the hidden button hidden on my hair clip. I felt the same warping feeling, like my body was being stretched and the dissolving from my toes up.
"Welcome, Ace Trainer Lucy. Your partner, Ace Trainer Ryan, is finished with his check up. Now it is your turn. Please proceed to the grandmaster's room," A Nurse Joy stood in front of me.
Nurse Joy's and other npcs that interacted with players daily had set personalities that were their 'real self'. They acted very cheerful and nice, and that was truly how they were. It was an odd thing, but I guess I would have rather been born as one of them instead of me.
At least then I would know who I was then. She gestured for me to move forward to the control room. I nodded and walked forward into the open door.
"Well, well, well. Welcome Ace Trainer Lucy. How are you feeling today?" A male voice called out from the throne in the middle of the room. I looked up to study the grandmaster, which was splayed out on his throne.
He looked up, catching me with his sharp green eyes, with hints of red. He had on a pure white lab coat, accenting his grey and white hair. His mouth hinted a smile, and he extended his hand to me.
"Give me one of your beautiful smiles, Lucy," He asked. I simply stared.
"So you've been released… And found a new master," He frowned in displeasure.
"I can't control you anymore, can I?" He sighed, "Your partner was unlocked too. By some woman named Juniper. She's always been a bothersome 'Friend' of mine. Always taking npcs like you and turning them into players," He got out of his throne and waltzed up to me. I took a step back. He loomed over me, a glint in his eyes.
"But you… Some one Juniper trained came for you, am I right? I suppose I'll have to release you and Ryan together… But that wouldn't be fun, would it? I suppose I'll do it Juniper style. Give me your Pokémon," He held out his hand. I gulped and gave him my two Pokémon. He eyed them with an odd look.
"Hm. Ok, these Pokémon are mine now. Go catch some other ones," He flicked his wrist in a dismissive fashion. I was dumb struck.
"Um… What?" I took a definitive step forward. He smiled, showing off his sharp white teeth.
"You heard me right. These Pokémon are mine now. You need to go get a starter from who knows where and make some real bonds with Pokémon. You know these beauties are npcs as well, right? I'll give them to some other npc who needs Pokémon," He explained loosely. I just didn't understand how he thought sometimes. He's pretty much insane, isn't he..?
"Now, Now. I can still hear your thoughts. You are still classified as an npc until Juniper switches you, you know. And yes, I am a crazy man. Oh, the joys of being crazy though, no logic ever applies! You should try it sometime," He hummed.
"Yeah… Ok. Bye. But… where is Juniper?" I hesitated. He chuckled and held out a map to me.
"She always said you should find your own way, but here's a pretty map," He cackled as I tentatively snatched it from his hand. I took one look at it and quite nearly slapped him across his smug little face.
"It's in an other language," I stated. He smiled.
"It is a map, isn't it? I never said it was in English," He smirked and with a wave of his hand, dismissed me to where I had stood for years upon years. I had been teleported… Hmp. Here I stood, no Pokémon, no Pokeballs, no-
"Lucy?" I heard a boy's voice call out from behind me. I turned to face my partner.
"Ryan?" I answered. He stood as normal, but something was missing. It was a little cock in his head, a confidence in his eyes, and a loose feel in his position. I looked him in the eye. He seemed to be studying me as well, taking in the true me.
"You got a map, right? The grandmaster told me you had a map to Juniper's. She set me free, and then disappeared. I need to talk to her," He explained, showing barely any emotion. I nodded and handed him the map. He studied it, and then laughed.
"Very funny. Where's the real map? I-" He cut off when he saw the dark look in my eye.
"This is what he gave me. Take it or leave it," I answered. He nodded and then handed it back to me.
"Lead the way," He said and stood beside me. I sighed and looked up from the map into the forest ahead of us. Looks like lots of fun… Yeah, right. I took my first step forward, away from my prison, away from my fate, away from an ageless time, into my future.
One month later…
DIALGA TIMES
Two Ace trainers were viciously attacked by Route one by Team Plasma. Team Plasma was shortly removed from the area after seriously injuring one of them, a boy, named Ryan. The girl, named Lucy, had no Pokémon. In response to the boy trying to defend her, and the fact she had no Pokémon, Team Plasma kidnapped the girl.
When the police arrived, due to the town's people's hero, a boy named Reed, investigating the screams and calling the police, they only found the boy, beaten and bloodied. He reported his partner being kidnapped, and was taken in by Professor Juniper for the time being until his family is identified. The search for the girl is still under way.
