Dwelling off the Past
Part 1
(There he stands looking
into the window watching the hard rain heavily fall. Q2 is very
sad remembering the things he went through of his past. There is
no one else in the room and he desperately wants to tell someone,
but everyone else assumed to be busy. Finally deciding to try and
talk to someone, he hovers into the kitchen. He finds his Raichu,
Rai, digging into the refrigator.)
Q2: Hey, Rai. Do you have a moment?
Rai: (Not looking back) Not now, Q. (He takes out a mountain of
foods and toppings while slamming the door closed with his cable
wire like tail.) Sorry to raid Cammi's fridge like this, but I'm
going make the biggest hotdog there ever was!
Q2: Oh, sorry then.
(Q2 goes through Cammi's Gym. Eventually he found the Gymnasium
where his Sandslash, Shredder, was training himself.)
Q2: Hey, Shredder. Do you mind if I stay in here for a while?
Shredder: Actually, I'm trying all of my moves out. So I kinda
need the space. And I concentrate better alone, especially when
Rai ain't around.
Q2: Oh, sure. Carry on.
Shredder: Don't worry, Q. I'll make you proud in the Pkmn League
this year.
Q2: (Smiling the best he can) I'm sure you will.
(Q2 walks to the only other gymnasium as if finds his and Cammi's
Charizards in a fight.)
Kameik: Cammi likes me better because I'm a CUTE Charizard. *_*
Dark Fire: What? You hardly look like a Charizard at all! I'm the
REAL deal!
Kameik: Cammi can fit me right into her arms whereas she as to
struggle just to get her arms around you!
Dark Fire: That's just cuz you so short and scrawny! People want
to see the TRUE Pokemon and not some cheap imitation. (Turns to
the side) Hey, there's Q.
Kameik: Yo, Q! You're Psychic, right? Tell us. Who does Cammi
like better? Me, right?
Dark Fire: No, it's me. Tell 'im, Q.
(He only stares at the two Fire/Flying Types for a few seconds
and then trails off out of the second gymnasium.)
Kameik & Dark Fire: O.o; Q?
(Q2 finds a room where another good friend of his is playing on
the N64.)
Q2: Hey, YG. Um...
YoshiGeno: Oh, Q! You're just in time. Tell me which Pkmn to use
against this guy. I'm on the last trainer and he got some Flying
Types and some Psychic Types.
Q2: Um... (Gives up and studies the TV) I'd say use Zapdos and
Articuno. Both of them can take care of the Flying Types easily
and BOTH of their specials is high. Plus Zapdos' Drill Peck is
lethal to most Psychics since their defense is low.
YoshiGeno: Thanks, Q!
Q2: -_-; Yeah, don't mention it.
(Q2 leaves and finds another area where Para the Saiyan is in the
room.)
Q2: (Looks in) Para?
Para: (Dances while slapping on his knees) Kakarot! Kakarot!
Kakarot!
Q2: O.o; (Thinks) O...kay? (Leaves)
(Almost all of Q2's and Cammi's remaining Pkmn are in Cammi's
room challenging and watching her as they play some soccer battle
mode game on Banjo Tooie. 'Hey, I saw a screenshot of it, but
don't know what it's called. Anyway...' He peeks into the room
and finds them all crowded around Cammi's television.)
Cammi: Crap! No time to waste, gotta get that last ball in there!
Charlene: (Cammi's Charmeleon) No! I got it!
Cammi: (Kicks in the final goal) HAHA! I WON!
Charlene: Darn!
(The crowd of Pokemon and the single Yoshi laugh for a while, but
Q2 still stands in the doorway behind them all.)
Q2: (Thinking) No. I shouldn't disturb them. What kind of friend
I'd be if I ruined their fun? (He begins to hover away until his
Clefable, Moon Saibot or Cleefy Boy which is what it prefers to
be called, senses Q2's presence.)
Moon Saibot: (Turns around) Q!
(Q2 stops but doesn't turn around.)
Shock Dog: (Q2's Jolteon) Yeah, Q. Wanna come see this mini-game
on Banjo Tooie?
Cammi: I know you don't like spoilers, but it's really fun.
(Smiles)
Q2: (In a sort of saddened voice) No. No, that's okay. I just
came to... check up on you guys. Sorry to bother you. (Teleports
away.)
Cammi: Q?
(Q2 reappears on the roof. He stands in the rain allowing it to
pour on him. His clothes get drenched. His rain races down his
skin. Soon, Q2 takes his only occupied Pokeball and throws it
onto the roof. A large figure pops out.)
Q2: Hey, End Game. It's time to let you out for the night. Don't
worry. It's only rain. No electrical storms so it should be safe
for you.
(The Gyarados only stares at its master.)
Q2: You should love it. It's like one big shower for you. Go on.
Enjoy it.
(End Game does not move.)
Q2: -_-; You're worried about me, aren't you?
(End Game shakes his head.)
Q2: It's alright. I've been feeling this way for weeks now. It's
just got worse today, but I can't tell anybody right now.
Especially since everyone's busy doing their own thing. Rai's
eating, Shredder's training, Para's dancing, and so forth.
(End Game still stares at him.)
Q2: -_-; Please, just go have fun. Everyone else is having fun
and I don't want to spoil it for them. I have to mind my own
business. No one needs to know how I feel. Just go.
(End Game hovers closer to Q2 and nudges his head and Q2's side.
Q2 smiles only a little bit and pets End Game's face.)
Q2: Thanks, End Game.
(About a few mintues pass by and Q2 has not changed. The rain
continues to pour.)
Q2: Why do I always feel this way?
(Through his frustration, Q2 throws down his cap, jacket, pants,
and shoes. The clothes land in a pile where they get drenched
together. Q2 stands with his head facing the roof he stood on.
Suddenly, he collapses onto the roof and lays on his side almost
crying.)
Q2: *Sigh* All my life, I can't seem to feel right. (End Game
listens to him.) I know I've felt very tired, but for some reason
I can't sleep. Then I'm hungry, but I don't feel like eating.
(End Game lowers his head slightly.)
Q2: The fun that everyone else is having right now... it's not
interesting to me lately. I just feel that I can't do anything.
(More minutes pass by.)
Q2: It's like when Mewtwo created me. I couldn't really do much
then, but I was forced not to.
(Q2 begins to dwell into his past, but before he did he
remembered the things Mewtwo told him before his arrival.)
