Chapter 1 A speech in Unova
I was glad to finally be gone. In my mind we didn't have to worry about Sinnoh anymore. Not my father, not the professor, and not... them. It made me happy to know that we had escaped from Sinnoh. We as in me and my brother Reggie (a togekiss.)
Our boat was arriving in Accumula town soon, and we couldn't wait. A gust of wind blew into my face causing my long light blue hair to flow along with it. I sighed happily. I've never had the chance before to not have to worry about anything... well almost. I was very afraid of the boat sinking even though I could fly away on Reggie's back. I was terrified of the water along with water type Pokemon, for I almost drowned when I was younger.
"Kiss?" Reggie asked. I looked over at my brother who gave me a worried glance.
"It's alright Reggie," I assured. "We'll be on land soon," I mumbled. It was now that I decided that I didn't want to go on a boat again. I looked straight ahead and noticed that there was land up ahead. I could practically feel myself shaking from excitement. "There it is Reggie!" I yelled jumping up and down. I ignored the weird looks we were getting from the other people, and soon I was ready to get off of this boat.
The second we stopped I ran down the ramp and off the boat. Noticing that I was alone I panicked, but Reggie just flew down next to me. I smiled sheepishly. "I'm sorry Reggie," I apologized. Reggie gave me a large smile.
"Kiss!" he said. I smiled back at my brother.
I looked around Accumula town, and Arceus was it beautiful. I looked around again and saw a hill... well more like a lump that had two benches on it. I pointed to where I was going then started to run there, but I certainly wasn't expecting to run into something. What ever it was, was underneath me.
I sat up rubbing my head and opened my eyes only to see a pair of grey eyes looking up at me. So immediately I started to apologize.
"I am so sorry!" I wailed. "Did I hurt you? Are you hurt? Are you alright?!" I asked. The man with the long green hair gave me a small smile.
"Yes I'm alright," he assured. I gave him and unconvinced look.
"Are you sure?" I asked. He nodded his head. I gave a sigh of relief. If I had hurt someone without even being here for five minuets... I don't know what I'd do. The man coughed.
"Would you please get off of me?" he calmly asked. I tilted my head in confusion before I felt myself get lifted up by Reggie. Once I was placed down I held out a hand to this man, so that I could help him up. And once I did he towered over me. Literally I think my head just reached his elbow. I felt a tug on my arm and saw Reggie with a stern look on his face.
"Togekiss! Kiss!" he scolded. I looked at the ground guiltily.
"I know," I said. "I'm sorry Reggie," I apologized.
"Your Togekiss said to be more careful," the man said. I looked up at him in confusion. "He said that you could have hurt yourself or someone else, so you're lucky no one got hurt," he explained. Reggie nodded hesitantly. Maybe I did hurt him after all? He narrowed his eyes at my confusion.
"How did you know what Reggie said?" I asked. I heard him sigh.
"So you can't hear them too," he stated. I tilted my head. What does he mean? Hear what? "Your Pokemon's voice," he said quickly. Their voice? ...Wait he can understand what Reggie is saying, or is he lying because I knocked him over? I didn't know if I should believe him or not, so I tried to tell him without offending him.
"Well that is an odd thing to say," I said. I scratched my head. "But if what you're saying is true... then you could probably help a lot of Pokemon," I explained. He looked shocked. "Yeah... you could probably save a lot of Pokemon with something like that," I said.
"What do you mean?" he said quietly. I thought my explanation was enough.
"Well...," I said. I don't really know the best way to explain this, but I guess I can try. "I didn't really grow up around Pokemon, only Reggie, but what I did see and hear that people don't treat Pokemon very good," I explained. "I've seen Pokemon who live on the streets because their trainer abandoned them, Pokemon who have been beaten by their master, and Pokemon who are never allowed out of their pokeball," I said. "I think that if you can understand what Pokemon say directly, then you could save many Pokemon," I said. I looked over at Reggie.
"At least if I could directly understand Pokemon then communicating with my brother would be a lot easier," I said. I placed a hand on my brother's head.
"...Your brother?" the man whispered. He looked like he wanted to say more, but he was cut off by a crowd beginning to form. "Lets go see what the gathering's about," he said quickly. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me over to the crowd.
"Wait what did you say?!" I asked. This guy speaks way to fast! He ignored me and brought me to the crowd.
There were people standing behind a man who looked like the one I knocked over. It looked like they were going to say something very important.
"Greetings ladies and gentlemen," he greeted. "My name is Ghetsis, and today I world like to talk to you about Pokemon liberation," he said.
"Liberation?" I asked. Ghetsis looked genuinely pleased at my question.
"Yes! Liberation. I'm sure most of you believe that we humans and Pokemon are partners, correct?" he asked. A low murmur swept through out the crowd, with most of saying yes. "However, is that really the truth? Do we humans and Pokemon actually believe that?" he asked. "Have you ever considered that we humans... only assume that that's the truth?" he asked. Ghetsis walked to the middle of the lump and sighed.
"Pokemon are subjected to the greedy and selfish commands of a trainer," he stated. I heard a lot of gasps in the crowd, but I didn't know why. "They get pushed around when they are our "partners" in work," he growled. "Can anyone say that there is no truth in my words?" he asked. I heard shouts from various people in the crowd such as.
"Yikes! Is that really true?"
"No way!"
"Do we really treat Pokemon like that?"
Ghetsis walked over and stood in front of two boys.
"Now then ladies and gentlemen, Pokemon are different from humans," he said. I rolled my eyes.
"No shit," I mumbled, earning me a smack from Reggie.
"They are living beings that have unknown potential. They are living beings that we as humans learn from," he exclaimed. "Tell me, what is our responsibility towards these wonderful beings such as Pokemon?"
"What is it?" A crowd member asked.
"Liberation?" I asked. Ghetsis gave me a smile. Though, it scared me a little.
"That's right!" he exclaimed. "Liberation, we must liberate the Pokemon," he stated. "Only then will we be true equals," he said. "Everyone I end my words here today by imploring you to consider the relationship between humans and Pokemon," he said. "We sincerely appreciate your attention," he said. Suddenly the men surrounded him and walked him out of the town. Me and N turned back to the crowd. An elderly man started to speak.
"That man talked about some strange things," he said.
"What do you think we should do?" a younger boy asked. I looked at him weird.
"What do you mean?" I asked. "We should already be freeing Pokemon," I said. A middle aged man scoffed.
"Liberation Pokemon? That's not even possible," he said. At that, the crowd started to leave only leaving Me, N, and the two boys. N walked over to one of them.
"your Pokemon... just now it was saying," he said quickly. I walked over to the three of them.
"Whoa! Hold on, you speak way too fast," the one with glasses said. "And what is with you? that's an odd thing to say, Pokemon talking," he scoffed. N narrowed his eyes at him.
"Yes, they're talking," he said. "How sad, my name is N," he said. I looked at him, N... that's an odd name, but mine is odd too.
"My name is Cheren, and this is Touya," he said. It went silent for a moment, but then I noticed everyone looking at me. I looked down at my blue scarf suddenly finding it interesting.
"Oh uh... my name is Silas," I said. I looked away from them.
"...Right. Anyways Professor Juniper asked us to complete the pokedex, and we just left on out journey my goal is to become the champion, though," he said. I grimaced. The only champion I respected was Cynthia.
"Oh I see," N sighed. He went to speak, but I cut him off.
"Don't you understand how many Pokemon you're going to imprison in pokeballs?" I asked. Cheren looked offended.
"What are you saying? Do you agree with what they said?!" he shouted. I flinched at his hard tone.
"...Cheren leave him alone," the boy known as Touya asked. I whimpered.
"I know that what they're trying to say is true," I said. Not wanting to hear anymore I walked away.
I'm not even here for thirty minuets before I screw up. I sighed in sadness. The bench that I previously wanted to go to was near them, so I decided to just leave the town.
"Kiss?" Reggie asked. I glanced at my brother, but I chose to ignore him.
"We're heading to Striaton city, right? I asked. Reggie sighed and nodded. I gave a simple nod in acceptance. "Then lets go," I sighed.
