Target 2: The Search for a Bodyguard

The next day, Professor Rowan's Lab…

"Damnnit! Why didn't Rowan assign me to any field work today?" Hibari growled as he rubbed his eyes from sleep. The alarm clock Rowan set up for him from the very beginning of his job annoyed him for it kept ringing, and he silenced it by throwing a tonfa to the ringing object.

He wanted to finish the bet where he lost against Reborn to get revenge on Red, the Trainer he despised the most. But because Rowan didn't call him for field work, the schedule that he set up to complete the Pokedex is now messed up.

His train of thoughts ended as someone knocked the door. "Come in…" Hibari grumbled.

The door opened to reveal a boy with blue eyes and blue hair. He wore an orange scarf and an orange hat, the rest of his clothes were hidden by his lab coat. He wore a smile as he was coming in, a tray of food and a glass of water in his hands.

"It's just you… Lucas…" Hibari said without bothering to look at the boy. Lucas smiled "Ohayo, Hibari Kyoya-san!"

"Tch! I don't give a damn on your poor Japanese…." Hibari growled at Lucas in Japanese.

Lucas wanted to punch the guy badly, but he remembered that his mom thought him about 'anger management'. He inhaled and exhaled, and flashed a smile.

"Anyways, it's already noon. I thought you were hungry, so I cooked you food. If you want more, get your fucking ass moving and get more food or water as you wish, but be sure to bring back the resources, okay?" Lucas' eye began to twitch in anger. He then remembered the 'anger management'. Inhale. Exhale. Lucas again flashed a smile, this time a fake one.


Meanwhile, in Twinleaf Town…

"Poppa, what are you doing with the Directories? You're almost ripping out every single page!" Dawn groaned as she rubbed her eyes from oversleeping.

"Oh, this?" chuckled Mr. Platinum "Poppa will try his best for his daughter to have a professional cheap bodyguard so she could end up being a great Trainer/Coordinator."

"Unlike her Poppa, who ended up as an assistant instead," Johanna cut in. Mr. Platinum felt that he is stabbed on the heart from that comment.

"By the way, the number you've picked is the Hearthome's Super Contest Hall's number. Oh, and also, stop being retarded in finding phone numbers." Johanna added.

This comment added more arrows stabbing Mr. Platinum. He knelt to the ground and murmured "To-le-rate…"

Seeing that her mother didn't pay attention to her father, Dawn had no choice but to comfort him.


Sandgem Town's Pokémon Laboratory, 3:00 pm…

The lab's phone rang. Lucas wanted to thank the person who called the lab's number for he didn't want to be taunted by Hibari's annoying presence. He left the tray and the glass on Hibari's desk and ran towards the phone and answered it.

"Hello, Sandgem Town's Lab's Lucas Diamond speaking."

"….. …. ….."

"Oh, Mrs. Platinum. Do you need something? We are here to help."

"… …. ….."

Hibari became annoyed of a simple phone talk. He stood up and trotted towards the door.

"W-What? A b-bodyguard?"

"… …. ….."

"B-But, the only one capable of being a bodyguard here is…."

He slammed the door shut and locked it. He decided to get a drink of water and took the glass. He gulped it down and he laid back to sleep. But out of nowhere, his curiosity gets the better of him and he sat up.

"Might as well know what the herbivores are discussing right now."

He thought about opening the door, but there he would be seen. So, he had no choice but to put his empty glass on the door to hear Lucas without being seen.

"Are you sure, Mrs. Platinum? You're going to hire him as Dawn's bodyguard?"

"…. ….. …"

"T-Trust me, that person will only 'bite Dawn to death' instead of protecting her."

Hibari raised an eyebrow. "I know that this herbivore is talking about me, but why is he then assigning me to be a bodyguard to this 'Dawn'?"

He listened more.

"B-But…"

"….. …. ….."

Lucas sighed, "Fine, if you both agree, so do I."

"….. …. ….."

"Okay, bye!"

Hibari heard that Lucas hung up. As he knew that Lucas is coming back to his room, he put the glass back and jumped to his bed. He started to panic a little until Lucas opened the door.

"Don't tell me you listened to that conversation, you bastard." Lucas growled.

"Why are you accusing me of doing something I didn't, herbivore? Kamikorosu yo."

"You always say that 'I'll bite you to death'- whatever. Why don't you try it literally?"

"There's still some pokeballs in my bag, so you know…" Hibari reached for his bag and dug his hands into it to get a pokeball "…I don't feel biting people today, but Crobat feels like it."

Lucas shuddered at that sentence. Hibari sent out Crobat, the final form of Zubat, the most annoying Pokémon in the history of mankind. Crobat then swooped towards Lucas after the command 'Bite' is given to it.

Within minutes, Sandgem Town is filled with Lucas' screams and the breaking of furniture.


Somewhere in Sinnoh…

Something buzzed in Professor Rowan's right coat pocket. He took his phone out and answered the call.

"Hello. This is Professor Rowan speaking, how can I help you?"

"…. ….. …."

"Ah! Johanna!" Rowan was delighted to hear a familiar voice. "Do you want to know any more information regarding your daughter's Journey?"

"… ….. ….."

Rowan glanced at his phone dumbfounded, "Can I ask you why you need him. I warn you, he is no bodyguard material."

"…. …. …."

He nodded a few times, "Then, I shall put him into bodyguard duty to your daughter. I have high hopes that, as time passes, they will soon learn from each other and discover more Pokemon. I bid your daughter the best of luck, and farewell." Rowan hung up.


Back to Twinleaf Town…

"Good news, Honey!" Johanna exclaimed to her husband Mr. Platinum "I just found a perfect bodyguard for Dawn!"

"So, it's Kyoya, then." Mr. Platinum murmured.

Johanna nodded.

Dawn ruined the mood by shouting "Poppa! Are you telling me that I'm engaged to this 'Kyoya'?"

Mr. Platinum faced Dawn "Come on, Honey, we just called Sandgem Town's Lab to see if we can hire him as your bodyguard. There's no need to worry."

Dawn gave a rather irritated look.

"Did you talk to Professor Rowan?" Mr. Platinum asked.

"Both him and Lucas, and they agreed with it." Johanna replied.

"But agreeing on something this early… it's really strange, don't you think?" Mr. Platinum asked.

"Yeah… sort of…"

"Who cares! As long as I'm fine with that 'Kyoya' being my bodyguard, there's no need to worry!" Dawn exclaimed happily.

"How about your clothes and Barry?" Johanna reminded.

"OH NO, I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT! MOM, HELP ME PICK MY CLOTHES!" Dawn shouted as she headed upstairs, and at her twenty-ninth step, tripped.

Johanna face palmed at the clumsy act of her daughter.


Twinleaf Town, 3:30 pm…

After picking the appropriate clothes (white hat, red scarf, and black vest with an inner white shirt, pink skirt, thigh-high pink boots with thigh-high black stockings, and a yellow bag) and packing all necessary stuff, Dawn rushed out of her house and ran to Verity Lakefront. After managing to go to the lakefront without any encounter from a wild Pokémon, she stopped at the bank of the lake panting.

"W-Where's B-Barry?" Dawn said as she began scanning the area. There was no sight of Barry at the lakefront. 'Maybe he got his Pokémon and started his journey already…' Dawn thought.

She thought of many reasons why Barry isn't at the lakefront. 'Maybe Lucas already took him to the lab… Lucas? That's right! If Lucas arrives here, I would be safe. But…' and again, her train of thoughts resumed…

…until she heard that something is off, very off.

She heard rumbling of hooves, 'Pokémon hooves? Did it cause damage to the town? Did it kill her parents? Is it a flood of hooved Pokémon on a rampage?' Dawn resumed on her train of thoughts, now panicking.

She heard that the rumbling noise is nearing the lakefront, to her direction. As Dawn saw a 'figure' running at an unnatural speed, clouds of dust trailing behind it, she panicked. She tried to scoot back without her clumsiness getting the best of her. She scooted more until she could feel the muddy soil of the lakefront's bank, which could signal that something bad will happen to her.

Before it could hit her, the 'figure' screeched its hooves to stop itself from hitting Dawn, but the screeching effort did not pay off, as the 'figure' hit Dawn, making her fall into the lake.

'Dammit, where's that 'Kyoya' bodyguard when I need him the most?'


I am going for the main series Pokemon Games (ex. Pokemon Ruby, Pokemon Red) , not the Anime (so you wouldn't see Ash and the gang here) nor the Mystery Dungeon games (not a big fan of those games). Personality of game characters can also be different, like how Lucas is a nice and sometimes serious guy but with a 'dark side' and needs 'anger management'. Forgive me if Hibari was OOC.

Also, for those who need the translation of some Japanese words in the chapter:

Ohayo- Good morning

Kamikorosu (yo)- as Lucas stated, 'I'll bite you to death'

As stated above, reviews are appreciated, just no flaming.
