The Bounty Hunter

A World Where Pokemon Rule

Chapter 2:

--

Sierra helped Leon get to the Pokemon Center. William was right behind them. A few pokemon were outside working. They greeted Leon and Sierra as they went by. Both of them had earned the respect of the entire town. They had once defended the town from a Rebellion attack. Of course it was a preplanned attack just to help the two of them earn the respect of the town, but only Leon, Sierra, and the Rebellion knew this.

Anyway, when they finally got to the Pokemon Center, the Blissey from last was ready to kill Leon. She had just patched him up last night and now he was back again.

"I just patched you up last night." She screamed. "How is it that no matter how many times I patch you up, you always come back in the next few days with an all new problem." She opened up a medical kit.

"I told you, I'm a bounty hunter. It's the most dangerous job around." Leon replied.

"Your medical bills alone take up thirty percent of the Bounty Hunter Medical Funds." Blissey screamed.

"And his live capture rate is twice that of the next best bounty hunter." Sierra countered.

"How can you live with him?" Blissey shouted. She had a large amount of gauze in her hands. "Honestly, the only reason I can think of is the amount of money he brings in."

"He is kind and caring person. He does his best to show me his love." Sierra said as she gave Leon a big hug. In the process of grabbing him however, she banged his leg into the medical bed.

"Ouch." Leon said. His voice was calm. Blissey pulled out a needle filled with painkillers. Leon was going to need it since she had to clean the wound. She thrust the needle into Leon's leg.

"Watch it, I'm in enough pain already." Leon shouted.

"Sorry." Blissey injected the painkillers and waited a few for them to take effect. Then she began to sow the leg up.

--

Less then an hour later, Leon was ready to leave.

"You had better not come back today. Honestly, twelve visits in three weeks." Blissey was still not in any way happy with Leon.

"Come on Leon, let's go." Sierra helped Leon get back home. A pair of Machokes and William greeted them when they got home.

"We're just gathering up your bounty balls. Once we're done, we'll leave and send you a check." William said. Less then ten minutes later, William and the pair of Machokes left leaving Sierra and Leon alone.

"Well, with this leg, I can't go out hunting." Leon said. "What shall I do? I got a whole day to waste."

"I have to go for now. I can't miss that meeting." Sierra helped Leon to the living room. "I'll be back in a few hours."

"I'll be waiting." Leon said as she left for the door.

"I know you will." Sierra closed the door after herself. 'I hope he doesn't get attacked.' She thought as she began to run off for the building that once housed the Pokemon League. Now they were used as training grounds and business centers.

Leon made his way to the couch. He laid back. "She be gone for a few hours, I can't leave the town, and the Dragon mating run doesn't start for a few days." Leon let out a long drawn out sigh. "This is going to be a long boring day."

--

Leon spent the better part of an hour meditating. This was a strange thing for him. Especially when a he went to go reach for his cup of tea. He had his eyes closed and was planning just picking it up, but when reached his hand out, he felt nothing. He opened his eyes and was met with a serious surprise. Not an inch away from his face was the ceiling fan. He fell over five feet back to the ground twisting his already sore ankle.

"How the hell did that happen?" Leon asked as he got up. He checked his leg. It was already starting to heal. A few of the smallest wounds on his leg were already sealed.

Leon made his way to the kitchen. He knew that when Sierra got home, she would like a warm meal. "Well, I'm no cook, but how hard could it be." Leon rolled up his sleeves and picked up a pot. "I think I'll try my hand at boiled berries."

Fifteen minutes later…

"Hello, I'd like to order a pair of pizzas." Leon looked around at the mess. Leon wasn't sure how he did, but he had messed up most of the kitchen. The berries had planned on boiling were all over. Some hung from the ceiling while others were scattered around on the floor. His good leg had been drenched with boiling water, but he heeded Blissey's words and decided to just deal with what pain the leg gave him.

"Make em both berry pizzas." Leon walked over and picked up a mop. "That's right. Just make the withdrawal in a few days. I'll have my check in by then."

Leon hung up the phone and started to mop up the mess. That is until he heard a knock on the door.

It took Leon little longer then normal, but he did get to the door.

"Hello?" Leon looked outside. At first he didn't see anything. Then he looked down the path. A Gardevoir and a Gallade were walking back down the path.

"Did you need something?" Leon shouted as he opened the door.

Both of the psychic pokemon turned around and walked back. They bowed before Leon.

"Leon, we have a favor to ask of you. May we come in?" The Gallade asked.

"I'll warn ya right now, the kitchen is a mess." Leon opened the door to let them in.

"We'll help you clean the kitchen." Gardevoir said. Leon led the two psychic pokemon to the kitchen.

"Thanks Luna, Yumi." Leon said.

"What did you try to cook?" the Gallade asked.

"I tried my hand at boiling some berries." Leon responded. "And I think I failed, Luna."

The Gardevoir looked at the berries that were scattered around the room. "You can't boil Telt Berries. They expand in the presence of heat until they explode. There are air tight berries that expand until they burst."

"That would have been helpful to know before, Yumi." Leon said.

"You're never gonna be a cook." Yumi stated.

"That's obvious." Leon stated. "So, what's this favor?"

"We were hoping that you would let us use some of your yard this year for the mating run. We are expecting a lot more dragons this run."

"Sure. I don't see why not." Leon said.

"Thank you." Both Yumi and Luna bowed. Just as they were leaving, Sierra appeared at the end of road. The pizza delivery Luxio was walking with her.

Yumi and Luna greeted Sierra as they left.

"Why were they here?" Sierra asked.

"They were to see if they could use our yard this mating run." Leon said he picked up the pizzas.

"Here are your pizzas. Hope to see ya again soon." The small Luxio said before she ran off.

"Ok. Let me go take this suit off. I always did hate it." Sierra went up the stairs.

Leon opened up the first pizza, but he did not find any pizza. All he found was a message. It read "Get ready." Seconds later, a flash of bright light surrounded Leon. Once the light was gone, Leon found himself staring at Earth. A large window stood between him and space.

"Greetings Leon." A voice sounded from behind him.

Meanwhile, back at Leon's house…

Sierra came down the stairs. She wore a simple dress. "Leon?"

Sierra took a quick look around. Leon was no where to be seen.

Sierra looked around and saw the pizza box on the floor. She picked it up to find that it was empty.

"I wonder." Sierra opened the box and looked inside.

There was a message inside. It read "Don't worry, we just needed to give him a check up. He'll be back soon."

"Why must they do this at random? They never have a preset schedule." Sierra was rather annoyed. The last time Leon was in for a check up, he was gone for a week. Now she would have to make up some sort of excuse why he was gone this time. Sierra picked up the second box of pizza and took a slice.

--

A few hours later in some unknown location…

"He's doing fine." A female voice said. Leon was lying on a medical bed. He was drifting in and out of consciousness.

"Ya know, I didn't need to be sedated." Leon said.

"We sedated you so we could fix that leg." The female voice from earlier said. "Now then, back to Earth for you."

Leon sat up. Five silver orbs in the room lit up. Seconds later, a bright flash of light surrounded Leon. This same light appeared in Leon and Sierra's bedroom. Sierra was reading at the time was caught off guard when the bright flash of light sprung forth in the bedroom.

"What the?" Sierra nearly jumped off of the bed. Once the light died down, Leon was on the bed.

"I hate it when they do that." Leon said.

"That was a fast trip." Sierra said as she hugged Leon.

"Yes it was. They just preformed a simple check up." Leon tried to get up only to fall back down. He was still under the effects of the sedative.

"What all did they check this time?" Sierra asked.

"Just the basics. My DNA, my overall general health, and then they gave me this." Leon handed Sierra an item that appeared to be a letter. She opened it to a data disc. "From what I heard while I was up, a few people have been bought by the pokemon. They want me to kill one of them and rescue the others."

"There's no way you're leaving for that today." Sierra said.

"I know that." Leon said. "Is there any pizza left?" Leon looked over at the pizza box.

"There's five slices left. You can have them." Sierra said.

"Thanks." Leon opened the box and took a slice.

Later that night…

Leon was training for his next mission in his human form. He wore a set of sweat pants and simple shirt. Sierra was reading a book in her night robe on his back as he was doing push-ups.

"289." Leon was still going strong. "290. 291. 292." Leon continued his training. "293. 294. 295."

"You're almost done." Sierra said as she read her book.

"299. 300." Leon stopped at 300 like he always did. Sierra got off of Leon.

"That was harder then normal. Must be that leg injury I sustained." Leon looked down at his leg. Even though the wound was gone, it still hurt.

"When do you have to complete that mission of yours?" Sierra asked.

"I have two weeks, but my best chance to get them while they are still together is at the slave auction tomorrow night at 6:30." Leon replied. "But as always, there are complications."

"Like what?" Sierra put her book down after marking her page.

"Two of the females I am being sent to rescue are pregnant. They can't be teleported to station for fear of unforeseen side effects on the children." Leon looked over the profiles again.

"Who are they and how far along are they?" Sierra asked.

"Millie Holick, age thirty-five. Height, 4'11". Weight, 163 pounds. She is seven months along." Leon passed the first profile to Sierra. The picture showed a woman with long blond hair and green eyes.

"And the second one?" Sierra passed the profile back to Leon.

"April Force, age thirty-two. Height, 5'2". Weight, 152 pounds. The profile does not state how far along she is. She was rescued two months ago, but was recaptured along with rest of the team she was with at the time. Her mechanical knowledge makes her a valuable member to have at the station." Leon passed a second profile to Sierra. The picture was of another women, only this one had short red hair and brown eyes. She also had a scar over her left eye.

"What happened to her?" Sierra asked when she saw the picture.

"She was in an accident. She received the wound when trying to rescue her former master. She seceded, but her master still died a few weeks later. It was thought that she ran off after this. Truth was that her master released her. She was picked up by a rescue team." Leon passed Sierra the second half of April's profile.

"We could give those two females a place to stay here." Sierra offered.

"I was just about to ask you if they could stay here." Leon said.

"You should know me by now. I'll gladly help out." Sierra walked over and sat down on the bed.

"I know, but I asked just to make sure that you didn't have any plans for the next few days." Leon walked over to the closet. He reached into the back and pulled out a metal suitcase.

"I don't think any of my plans will affect the outcome." Sierra said as Leon opened the suitcase. A strange black suit was inside. The belt had a set of thirty battery shaped devices on it.

"Why do say that?" Leon asked. He began to check each of the battery shaped devices.

"Think about it. We've had multiple humans come here. As far as the town is concerned, we send the humans we have here to friends that we know will take care of them." Sierra said.

"I mostly just concerned about how Blissey will react when it comes time for the two of them to give birth." Leon was about halfway through checking the devices.

"You're funny. Blissey loves most humans." Sierra said

"I doubt that." Leon countered.

"She just has a problem with you. You show up several times each week with a new injury." Sierra responded. "Anyway, I think she'll gladly help when the time comes." Sierra said.

"If you say so. Anyway, I'm going to get some sleep. I'm going to be very busy tomorrow setting things up." Leon went over to the bed after closing up the case. He laid down and in minutes, he was out. Sierra just continued to read her book.
